DOLPE AND PENNOYER.
The Democrats are exhibiting some
fear that the Populist vote in the
Willamette counties will add to Re
publican success, and this is ae it
should be. In an editorial on this
question the Oorvallis Timet -ays:
"The Populists of Benton and.Lincoln
have placed good men on their legisla
tive ticket, but there is not a ghost of
a shew for either of them to be elected,
and if they carry the full vote of their
party, it will probably result in the
(lection of the Republican candidates,
at least on the joint ticket The lat
ter are solid for Dolpb, and in the
next legislature, they may be just
enough to return him to the senate,
Here is presented a possibility, if not
indeed a grave probability, for the
Populists of Benton and Lincoln to
decide the question of who is to be the
next United States senator, and if
things should take the course pointed
out above, which is not improbable
of the national union should sound
the first note of Republican victory.
From the signs of the times the
November states will inaugurate a
Republican cyclone that will sweep
free-traders from the halls of national
legislation, and Oregon should be in
the lead in this triumphant procession.
EDITORIAL NOTES.

Everything appears to be favorable
to the American people but the free
trade policy of the Democratic party.
The Coxey movement has little
inherent strength, and appears to be
disintegrating by reason or its weak'
ness. it will not exist long it lei
alone.
The compromise bill to be presented
to the senate will not be a Democratic
measure. Democracy is in favor of
free trade, but the people demand
protection.

ef plenty we bad been gradually ap
proaching an abyss of national bank
ruptcy. But a careful analysis of
-. the question will prove the sophistry
' employed by Democracy, and will
cause the reflective mind to assign dif
ferent causes for the stagnation in
business.
There has always been a conflict be
tween labor and capital, and this can
be traced in almost every instance to
i local causes. Wage-earners desire to
receive as high price as possible for
their labor, and capitalists, actuated
by the same selfish motives, wish to
reduce the wages of their employes as
low as possible. Under these circum
stances, an influx of Italians or Hun
garians cheap workers may cause
friction and impel a conflict at any
time, and even in the most prosperous
years. There is no national signifi
cance in lockouts or strikes, only in
times of depression they are liable to
be frequent and widespread, and, never
in the history of the country, have
they been so general in almost every
portion of the country as during the
past year. '
The production of wool has largely
increased in all parts of the world
during the past ten or fifteen years,
and the percentage ef increase has
been greater in this country than in
" any other. This overproduction has
caused a declination in the price in all
markets; but on account of the pro
tection policy of the United States
although our increase of production
was the largest the decline bee oeen
the least But the disparity between
the prions of 189213 cents and
1893 6 and 7 cents has never been
witnessed in the history of any prod
uct, and must be traceable to some
other cause than over-production. It
can only be accounted for by the rea
son that factories purchased as little
as possible and at free-trade prices.
The market for wheat is in Liverpool,
and the price is regulated by the sup
ply. During the past few years India,
- Russia and Egypt have had abundant
. crops, and the continued peace in
Europe has caused the market to be
low. . ' If war between Germany or
France,' or Russia and Great Britain
would take place American breads tuffs
would rule high in the foreign market,
because hundreds of 'thousands of
. producers would be in the army and
debarred from following industrial
employments. : ( '
When the general stagnation in
business, financial depression and clos
ing down of factories ere considered
some other reasons must be stated for
them other than those mentioned.
There is as much money in the coun
try as there was in 1892, and harvests
are as bountiful As soon as the new
regime was inaugurated the people be
came tremulous and discouraged,
money was withdrawn from invest
ments and locked in vaults, and the
wheels of factories stood stilL It was
the fear of free trade, the samn that
caused the hard times of 1848 and
years following, and was simply his
tory repeating itself. To re establish
prosperity the former conditions must
be restored and the old policy of pro
tection revived. Then capital will
take courage, and the United States
will again assume the position of the
most prosperous country in the world.

showing tbe administration waa behind

permit a fellow -being to starve, if one
has the means to relieve his wants, and
this is properly denominated charily.
Upon this the Coxey ite may rely, the
same as every human being, for succor
in case of distress, or food when he is
hungry. The manner of the exercise
of this principle higher than law is
governed by tbe individual, and what
might be considered sufficient for im

one band, to make martyrs of them by

the other, to give them license by too
much leinency, Coxey and his army in
a few months will only be remembered
as one ef the peculiar outgrowths of
the hard times of 1894.

Mr. McCann, of Illinois, chairman of
the house joint committee on labor,
has framed a terse joint resolution pro
posing to appoint a committee of sena
tors and three members of the house
to inquire into the cause of the present
industrial depression and idleness, and
to report within thirty days. The
resolution is to make the inquiry on
broad lines, so tbat the effects of the
tariff uncertainty", silver legislation,
etc, may all be considered without
reference to the politics involved, if
such an inquiry were made Republi
cans would not be afraid of the result.
Let tbe committee collect the evidence
from original sources, and the people
will render tha verdict after the facts
have been stated. It would be well
for this committee to collect facts of
the status of labor and laborers doring
the administration of Mr. Harrison, so
that tbe jury of the American publio
could form a judgment by comparison
between this and the proceeding

The industrial interests of the coun

year than during the same time at any
other epoch in the history of tbe repub

and pessimism. . Because of the effect
of an expected radical change of eco
nomical policy in the affairs of the na
tion, many seem to believe that free in
stitutions are doomed on this side of the
Atlantic. But such conclusions are
based on erroneous premises, and are
generally promulgated . by those who
view tbe dark side of every question
because of personal misfortune or being
tbe victims of adverse circumstances.

interests of the people, and those who

easily be rectified, even if the constitu

There has never been sucb a blunder
made bv the Democratic party as the
introduction of tbe Wilson tariff bill.
In its present shape in the senate it is
altogether a different measure from
the one that passed the house, and it
nu8t receive several more amendments
before it can be expected to receive a
majority of votes. It neither carries
the free trade ides of those who, in the
national convention at untcago,
adopted that platform, nor of those
members of the Democratic party who
are in favor of protection to American
industries. The other bills that have

The preceding generation were satis

hauled by a yoke of oxen, and when
they planted grain they walked
the field acd sowed it with their
hands. Now the seed drill is hauled
by a span of English draft or imported
Percheron horses, and very little is
done , in the primitive, economical
methods our fathers pursued. Nearly
all labor on the farm is now done by
maohinery, and very little attention is
paid to the sayings of "Poor Richard."
Frequently the farm is purchased on
borrowed money, and the same is true
of the improvements made, ploughing
the soil, planting the grain and cutting,
threshing and preparing it for the
market. This is not the result of pro
tection, but of the habits of the people,
and would be the same if free trade
had been in operation for the past
thirty years. ' Notwithstanding tbe
fact that the cost of farming land, con
sidenng the price of agricultural im
plements now in use, is much more
than it was th:rty years ago, we firmly
believe statistics will prove that there
was more wealth among the farming
classes in 1892, before the Demo
cratic, "change" - was inaugurated,
than at any previous period in tbe his
tory of the countrv. This Democratic
howl aeeut the poor farmer is made
simply for

in tbe line of tarif reform. Added to
its unfair adjustment of duties on im
ports it has annexed to it a provision
for an income tax, which increases its
unpopularity.
Wben congress convened, witb a
majority in both branches, the coun
try expected tbat Demociacy would
introduce a bill providing for free
trade, except for revenue; hat in this
they were disappointed. Representa
tives from different portions of the
country besieged the committee for
protection for particular products, and
their wishes were granted. In this
way the bill became a protective meas
ure, but the adjustment of duties was
very faulty and unjust. Its fate has
not yet been decided, and its defeat
would be welcome news to thn coun
try. In originating national policies.
the Democratic party has never been
success, and it is as much "at sea"
on tariff matters as it is on finances.
On the contrary tbe Republican party
is not forced to experiment. It has
made the history of the country for
thirty years past, and has beaten paths
to follow on national qustions.

Washington, Ma; 8 Reed authorizes
the following concerning tbe tariff amend
ments made public today.
"Tne presentation by tbe senate fin
auue committee ol 81 pages ot amend
ments, apparently more the 400, is a del
icate comp'imeot to Mr. Wilson and bis
bouse of representatives. It virtually
says tbe bouse bill is right, except on 400
or 500 points. Tb.s will hardly tend to
restore confidence in tbe country, especi
ally as every amendment omacks of prior
ignorance or present barter. Evidently
it will be tbe duty nf tbe senate io fully
investigate tbe proposed amendments,
for, when tbe committee on finance re
funts hearings, not because it knows in
tuitively all things, but because it finis
by some kind ot back-stairs influence it
has made 400 mistakes, it is evident the
committee will near watching."

tbe conflict ef last ntgbt, and a clerk ef

with citations for 10 of those who made
tbe most inflammatory remarks. Tbis
