We, your committee on resolutions,
beg leave to submit the following:
Jtesolved, That we are opposed to the
policy of tho President of the United
States as set out in hi? message to Con
gress, placing wool, lumber and salt
on the free list, thereby crippling three
of the most important industries of the
United States and virtually destroying
the wool and lumber trade on the Pa
cific coast.
Jtesolved, That the senators and
representatives from Union county
should use their best olforts to enact a
more practicable and less complicated
road law.
Jtesolved,, That precinct assessments
should be adopted as u proper mode
of assessment.
Jtesolvcd, That we do not approve
of the democratic measure now before
the Congress of the United States,
which makes wool free and retains the
tariff on woolens, and which places the
burdens on the laboring class and con
sumers and protects the manufactur
ers. Jtesolved, That we have full faith
and unaltered confidence in tho time
honored principles of the Republican
party and will do everything in our
power to intrust to it again tho ad
ministration of public affairs.

Inquire of D. B. Recs, Union, Or.
If you have a cold, cough, bronchit
is or any form of throat or lung dis
ease, do not neglect it. Ayer's Cherry
Pectoral, if promptly taken, will speed
ily relieve and cure all ailments of this
character.
We particularly call the attention
of our readers to tho advertisement of
Jayeox it Foster which appears in this
issue. This enterprising linn, by fair
dealing and by oll'ering extraordinary
inducements to purchasers, have built
up an enormous trade, which they
richly deserve. By referring to their
ad. you will get an idea of the various
lines they carry, all of which have been
completely filled by recent shipments
from the east, bought under the per
sonal supervision of Mr. Juvcox. ft
will pay you to make their store a visit
whether fyou buy anything or not.
They are always accommodating and
pleased to show goods.
Tho last few days being quite warm,
set tho female portion of Union to
thinking soberly, and each ono and
not one for the other, joined the wo
man's rights move the right to com
mence the annual high tare-up of
everything about the house, without
political inlluonce, color, or previous
condition. The platform of civil ser
vice reform was knocked higher than
Gilroy's aerial dragon, and assessments
were freely made upon the "lords of
creation" and no retrenchments al
lowed. We'll bet one woman can make
herself felt over more ground on the
tare-up question in one minute than
all the statesmen of the land.
