"Medico in not a fanner, not a raftHinan, hardly a river captain, but a "sailor." The proof comes from his former articles. Jle asks us to explain away (be Oregon election, when that was clearly done in a late issue of Tiik scorr, but in answer will say: Ah you aro fully aware that the leaders of the republican party aro completely wedded to monopolies, rings, trusts, gigantic- corporations, money lenders and shylocks of Wall street tho Vun derbilts, (ioulds. Ilclniont and tho Dovil, every republican elected is coun ted one for thorn. Money made the inaro go. Look at China Harrison's platform. Oh the purity of tho ballot box I Was there ever such contemp tible hypocricy as tho republican ver sion of business -failures? Tho tariil' is on now, has been on, lo these many years, so it cannot bo Unit an attempt by tho democrats to make a partial re duction throw them into litigation. The wool interest is cornered by the wool trusts against tho llockinen. The turill' virtually gives them the advan tage to buy it at the tarifl' price and that is about all tho llockinen will gel. Statistics tell us wool was highest when on tho free list. Imaginary pen pic tures wo have no space for If the', Mexican war settlement was a high way robbery, what was tho war of J8(il? and what have we got to-day to show for tho enormous expenditure of both life mid money? Don't sing the old worn out decoration songs of the glorious union. We had union before, at the time and since the war. If the republican party had made that con quest it would to-day, by them, be lauded to tho skies, but it is the ro- vcrso, and noto the result, To go back in defense of my posi tion, will gay I don't believe there is but very few free traders in Union county. It takes money to run the government, and that should bo ob tained by a tarill' levied where it will give the most protection and c the least lrdensonio to tho poor. There is not IV parallel casa in history of any government with an overflowing treas ury, taxing its subjects heavily for tho nceossiuics of lifo. The census of 1SS0 gave (ho estimated value of all tho farms in tho United States at ten bil lions of dollars and there aro three and ono third billions of mortgages on them one billion nioro than our national debt was at the oloso of the war, and yet after twenty-five years of pence and great republican prosperity, with iv high taiill'aud undisputed rule, the debt is only about half paid, and in stead of those farm cancers being can celed, they aro gradually increasing. Statistics show us that in ISSll tho far mers owned 55 percent, of the wealth of the country ; in ISliO, (50 per cent. Then 5h when our lari(V commenced robbing them and paying over to tho favored cliiHS,ifor whoso special benefit tho law was made. In 1S70 thoy owned !15 per cent; in 1SS0, 27 per cent, and now less than one-fourth of the wealth of tho nation, and to use your own words, this farmer is tho chap you mo after, and every ellbrt of yours proves it to bo correct. Every coutcmptablu humbug in existence is after the farmer. .First, but not least is tho mortgage banks, and then conies tho grain merchants, stock deal ers, merchants, machine maiiufectones transportation companies, all tho hun gry world and on down tho list to tho little pill maker; all after the farmer with no protection, only in case of a crop failure, when ho has to import wheat mid potatoes he bus to pay 20 cents tarifl' on tho first and 15 cents per bushel on the latter. That is a fair sample of your much boasted re publican turill" protection for tho far mer. Hut tho farmer is. supposed to keep ii back beat and swallow tho re publican dose liko a little man, with out iv tnui nier, sanction Hayes' steal of the presidency, Now Orleans and Now York custom houso frauds, credit Mobilier, China Harrison, free whisky and tobacco, and this is what makes your whangdoodlo mourn for your first bom and draw pen pictures of castles' iu the air. If I purchase ono hundred dollar's worth of dry goods for my faintly 1 pay on tliem f.15 tarifl" taxes, but tho av erage is put at 17, and for many years wo Imvo been paying this funcy price. Cleveland and tho Mills bill ubks for a reduction, and for that we arc all de nounced as freo traders. There is nioro of the tarifl' taxes paid by tho poor man with a family than a rich man. Mr. A. pays taxes on iplO.000, has a wife and two children; Mr. 15. pays no taxes, has a wife and fcix chil dren. A'h store bill is $200 per an num; ,s bill is if.'iOO, making $100 difference against the poor man. A pays $90 tm ill'; H pays $135, who is the least able to pay it by great odds. Still your party says if you cut tho tariff off the poor laboring man will bo ruined. 1 t is the capitalist that will bo a little tho loser and not the laborer by any means, anil we can prove it It is tho nionicd men making all this noise against reduction in favor of tho poor man and his family. The wool buyers me in the same boat and by close attention to this scheeming it is easy to discover their deceit and vil lainous deceptions practiced by hold- ing down tho price of wool. Hut the tarifl' is their license. Space forbids me giving steel rail arguments; but 1 will ask "Medico" to answer this: Steel rails aro now sell ing at. $31.50 a ton with a profit of $1-1.1)1) per ton, according to report and statistics. Then how much weie the profits when they sold at $1.50 a ton? If they sold to-day at $1.22 per ton it would be nioro than three times the usual wbolesalo profits, and what is the cause of all this change? Give us your version of it. Our sympathy lor tno American merchant marine is based on the facts stated in a former letter that wo pay annually $130,000,- MH) to foreigners to carry our produce abroad. We have paid this for twenty years. That is keeping America for the Americans with ii vengeance. To impoverish tho many and enrich a few is the republican watchword. Homo. ltiiAci: nr.
