Tin-: most egrcgiously mistaken man
in tho county is the one who thinks
tariff reduction will never win.
IioscoH Conkmn'O paid : Cleveland's
Inst mcesige wns the bolricbt, wito-.t
and most patriotic evidence of states
manship of recent years.
Sinci: the Republicans arc confident
of victory in November, and that the
Mills bill cannot possibly become a
law, it is queer that tho price of wool
docs not raise. Our Republican con
temporaries arc requested to cxplnin.

IIkniiy OuoitUE, in ft four-column
editorial in last weeks issue of his pa
per, the Standnrd, unreservedly de
clares for Cleveland and tiiriff reform.
He bclioves Cleveland will bo triumph
antly re-elected, although convinced
that the campaign will bo an intense
and bitter one.
A CiUNKSi: newspaper, the Chinese
Weokly News, has been started in New
York city. "Wong Ching Foo is its
editor. He advises his countrymen,
in an editorial, to stay at .homo, and
adds, "there are too many Chinamen
bere already." Eoo needs no "1" to
his name. His head is level.
"Wi: nro in receipt of tho "Resources
of thoStatoof Oregon," a largo book
containing statistical information, pub
lished by the Statu Hoard of Agricul
ture, as directed by tho Legislative
Assembly. Although inacurato in
many places it will do much good in
tho way of advertising our Folate.
Tim democrats have nominated
Qrover Cleveland, of Now York, and
Allen (J. Thurinan, of Ohio, for
President nnd Vice-President of tho
United States. Tho ticket is fairly in
vincible. Two truer and braver friends
of the people than these two men can
not bo found. Thoy were both nomi
nated by acclamation, and deserve
tho hearty undivided support of the
entire people.
Ouksiiam acknowledges ho is a "tar
iff reformer," and if ho is the candi
date of his party and is elected, wo
will have "tarilf reform" anyhow.
That is 0110 of the nest points why
(iresham should be nominated, hut be
won't, because the radical pioteotion
ists know, like Othello, that then oc
cupation would bo gone if ho is elected.
If any Republican is to bo tho next
President, Oreshain is our man, first,
last and nil tho time.

Wo publish below a characteristic
editorial clipped from "Tho Only"
of June 2.'):
Representative Dougherty,- -of Florida
)roposcMn coiigresou Monday tho impo
hltiou uf a tax upon all lucoincs'of penou,
corporations, associations and trusts of
$0J0 and upward pi-rnnnum, tint proceeds
of tlui tax to hit devoted exclusively to tho
payment of pensions. An income tn Is
imposed in l-.ugland, and st ems to lie col
lected without dlillculty, hut In our coun
try it Is generally regarded u an o llotis
inquisitorial tax. and during tliu war, when
it was in force, it was very unpopular and
with dllllcnhy collected ami Oceanic easily
evaded. The Into Samuel .1. Tildeu made
himself conspicuous by refusing to 1 my his
income tax, and as a rule tint lux led to
perjury and evasion everywhere. Some
men swore to smaller Income than thoy
posuesM'd, while others, from a ilosiro to
exaggerate their resources and thus en
hance, their credit, swore to a larger Income
than thoy really enjoyed. The income, ruv
does not seem united to tho oharurtor of
our people, and It is not likely that any
proposition for its rutmpositloa willuioot
with much favor from either party.
Tho Only," true to its interests,
into to the money power at whoso
shrlno it bows Is ready with
uny exeuso or reason for defeating
a
measure that seeks to make
capital
pay any proportion of tho burdens of
our government. Tho inon who have
an ineomo to exceed 5000 may per
jure themselves to avoid taxation and
for this reason that paper would have
tho taxes for the support, of our dis
abled union soldiers paid by tho pour,

very threshold by the organ of- corpo
rations and monopolies, with the plea
that these moil who have enormous
incomes may perjure themselves if
this bill should become a law. When
wo read this.editorial we fully cxpec-

shout from "The Only" that the
southern brigadier was again in the
saddle.
a srunmns xmriT.
The La Grande .Journnl speaking of
the now enterprise (?) thr.L is to bo
started hero, says:
" It is rumored flint the Scout is be
ing boycotted by its former republican
patron's and every "fforl made to crush

mil knows nothing of the character of
the new paper, it believes, that if
these rumors be true, the people of
Union arc doing 1111 unwise thing.
The Scout has steadily grown in busi
ness uiul influence until . to-day, it is
a journal of which I Ins Unionit'es may
feci justly proud, and one which they
will tiiidj cannot, be crushed out al a
moment's notice. AVhilo the Scout
has been "sassy " at us some limes,
and we have 'pns-ed" back as- be
came us, wo gladly give it credit for
having worked uoblv and effectively
aiong wiin inc .journal 111 advertising
the resources of the county and
t i i . t . If.
having furnished tho people with
good honest news ami u nolesoino ad
vice." This, from Uuj linker City Reveille:
'(". M. Irwin has made a failure al
everything olse and it is now announ
ced that lie will start another paper at
Union. -The business men ot Union
should let the abominable thing die
Another paper there cannot cqpect to
make a legitimate living and must
therefore bo an organ of some politi
cal crank. tVhen the people learn to
put their feet upon tho necks of lhe.se
vipers, known as campaign papers,
a legitimate newspaper will stand
some show. ' '
The (Ju.etto says:
"Negotiations are under way' in
Union tor tho establishment of a new
republican paper with (J. M. Irwin,
editor. Whenever that is done it will
he good-bye Air. Scout . ' '
Wo will say that the above mention
ed concern is not worrying us to any
grcit extent. It is well known here
for what purposes it is to ho establish
ed, and the advancement of the re
publican party is among the least of
them. Union, like every othcnplaco,
has a certain gang who think the
town mid everybody in it must be
ruled by (hem. and here, because Tine
Scotrr would not toady to them in the
least, a new organ must be started
"of their own." Uy dint of hard
work they have secured dupes enough
to put up small amounts of money
each, sulliciout to buy a plant. The
next thing is for them to run it. They
can do so as long as thev continue to
pay out their money, which will prob
ably be till after tho presidential elec
tion, then tho thing will bo unloaded
onto tho dupe, luid will thereafter be
an ocsoro and a detriment to the
progress of tho town. Thero is not
room in Union for two newspapers,
if thero was wo would gladlv extend
a welcome to it, and council tho peo
ple to give it patronage. A legitimate
newspaper enterprise, and a beheem
Ing racket like ihi in the intoront of a
fow wouhl-ho bosses, are two differ
ent things, .lust how our people will
receive- the bantling remain! to bo

About as plain mid se-tiMblo a t.tlk
as wu have ever neon to the bread win

Examiner of a recent dute. Wo quote
a fow extracts:
Vott are the umpires hi this cam

will be addrosied to you. You will
have now nearly live mouths to con
sider them in. Let tho handft piny,
and the torches llaru and tho orators
perspire, but do not lt thorn shape
your opinions. Think.
Scientists toll us that tho way to
truce iclentlllc principles is to ration
from tho known to the unknown,
Apply that rule to polities. Each

Supposing, in the llrt place that
you are employed in au unprotected
industry, as nineteen while workmen
out of every twenty in Sun Francisco
, arc. Suppose you arc a carpenter or
u blacksmith, or a gripinan or a clerk
or a lawyer, or a compositor, or a
ninson, or a school teacher, or a por

'Works, or the ship yards or the Hour
, mills suppose you work on the sea
Wall, or the streets. What does the
tariff do for you?
There is no duly on the men who
' follow such occupations, and the
work itself cannot be imported. It
must be done on tho spot. Nobody
can send to England for a pauper
shave or a cheap labor house. The
onlv competition to which you are
subject is that of laborers in your line
of work, and tho tariff does not try to
protect you in that.
You will be told thutwhilo the tariff
does not protect you directly, it gives
you indirect protection by giving em
ployment to workers who would
otherwise be competing with you.
Think carefully about this. The
same papers that make so much of

Tariff reduction docs not mean low
wages, for your wages are as low as
you will submit to now. it it costs
anything Hie cut will come upon the
proh'ls of capital. llut our experience
in the pact his shown that low tariff
stimulate business to such an extent
that the larger sales more than make

Think of these things carefully be

a campaign orator tells you that a
slight reduction in duties would de
grade the American workingman, you
will be able to take his statement for
just what it is worth.

Tim Chicago coJtvlxtiox.
No nominations have, as yet, been
made by tho Chicago convention. Ac
cording to latest advices it seems to
be a chaotic mass of conflicting inter
ests', over which disorder seems to
rule supreme. The convention was
no more than called to order when
Mahoue and Wise of Virginia, en
gaged in a controversy which resulted
in their calling each other frauds and
liars, and it looked as if the conven
tion would break up in a free, all
round list tight. Order was at last
icstoredand the convention proceed
ed. A dispatch of the lDth says:
An intelligent estimate of the first
ballot, shows eleven candidates, with
votes about as follows: Sherman,
L'(i0, (Jreshain 100. Depew 100, Alger
SO, Harrison 120, Allison t.J0, Phelps
18, Itusk Ingalls 11, Killer It',,
Stanford 17, Thin leaves :i,r votes un
accounted for. Missouri and Arkan
sas are still doubtful. It is believed
there will lie 110 material change from
this estimate for a ballot or two, and
il is thought the convciitian will then
adjourn over night. During that
night some combinations will be made
with a view to controlling the nomin
ation .
At the present writing the nomina
tion of Depew appears impossible.
After this shall ho demonstrated in the
balloting, Piatt will probably call
away his forces, numbering twenty or
twenty-five voles, and if a concilia
tion has been formed will throw his
men in, and Warner .Miller is expect
ed to throw his votes to Sherman.
What Depew will do when the mo
ment comes for abandoning his own
canvass is one of the- mysteries of the
hour.
An intimate friend of Depew's said
to-night, "If Depew cannot he nom
inated I look to see him rise, and in a
theatrical manner throw his votes to
Ulaine."
Tho convention will no doubt end
with the nomination of Iilaine,

Sore Eyes
Tho eyes are always In sympathy with

is an evidence, that tho system has
becomo disordered by Scrofula, for
which Aycr'a Sarsaparllla is tho best
known remedy.
Scrofula, which produced a painful in
flammation in my eyes, caused mo much
suffering for a number of years. By tho
advice of a physician I commenced taking
Aycr'a Sarsaparllla. After using this
medicine a short timo I was completely
