It is again on our table, looking its fresh as a daisy. Tmk only answer the Wallowa Chief tain can make in defense of Ilairifon's Chinese reeord is that, the democrats have all turned "i-and-lotturs." Con vincing, that. Tin: representatives of the several Oranges in Umatilla county met and organized a county Grange, recently. "Wouldn't it he a gooil idea for Union county to follow suit? J did vote with thu great body of the republicans in (he .Senate against the Chincpc restriction hill. IJenju niino Ilairison, republican candidate for president, in a letter to Row .1. V. UrandtofSl. I,ouis, .Mo., dated Feb ruary 2!Hh. Tiik Wallowa Hhjnul has entered its nccond year of existence, wo are glad to note, with Muttering prospects of future usefulness and sucee.-s. It is the intention of thu publisher to en large it (-0011 and mako it u better pa per than ever. so wish it success. Tin: J'ilol, published at .Junction City, Lane county, and the Ilutttlrr, published at Rosalia, W. T., two new ventures in thu newspaper field, are on our tabic. They are both neat and attractive sheets and wo place them on our exchange list with pleas ure. AccoitDiNO to l'rof. MoElroy, the schools of Oregon are in a nourishing condition. J Ie estimates that the re turn of J888 will show thosehool popu lation to be upwards of 5)0,000. It is increasing very rapidly, and at the rate at which it has been increasing of late years it will mioii reach 100,000. An exchange very pertinently re marks: "How is it that no ingenius fellow has yet begun to utilize the ce dar of Washington, Oregon and Idaho for cigar boxes and pencils? .Most of the cedar for that purpose- comes from Mexico, Cuba, (lautcnialu and the states of Central America, where it is difficult to get the trees from the dense forests to the seaboard. Ah a conse quence manufacturers of cheap cigar boxes in Now York aie staining other woods in imitation of cedar, but no wood is so good as cedar, as its aroma is especially desirable for cigar boxes." Tin: price of wool, like the price of wheat, is regulated by the demand. If the supply bo in cxcei-sof requirements low pi ices are tho consequence. It so happens, however, that tho price of "wool in this country has been lower inco the protective tarili went into operation than before it, and tho advo cates of protection claim that this re sulted from tho adoption of their fiscal policy. If, therefore, tho tariff has kept out foreign wool and also lessened tho price to growers, how has it benefitted tho the sheep-owners of iho United Slates? Toolfsot tho "Old Roman's" ban dana, tho republicans now use tho American Mag as a handkerchief. To a man who loves his country and holds its starry emblem as something sacred, it looks like sacrilege to sco some big duller empty tho contents of his 'nose on it, to glorify bin party. A recent dispatch stnteH that in a Now York hotel a fellow got his smeller spread all over his countenance by tho list of an indignant democrat, for using tho Hag in that way, but wo do not ap prove of such measures. If a man's innate delicacy and sense of tho Ill ness of things is delleient, you can't beat it into him. 777: MILLS JULL PASSES. Tho Mills bill passed tho lloiiso, Saturday. Just preccdinj,' tho voto MllU mndo n long speech showing tho bill should pass. The voto was 102 for and 119 ngainst. Two Republi cans voted for tho bill with tho Demo crats, and three Democrats, Sowdou of Pennsylvania and fiiconmsiu and JHrs of New York, went over to tho Republicans, ami voted against tho passage of tho hill. This Is a great victory and, briefly said, shows Itog or Z. Mills to be a leader, a Demo crat laboring in tbo interests of the uiijn, null atfulnt fuvwed cluwusi IXDEI'EXDLXT. The linker City JJhulc, u republican paper, gives the following informa tion to its readers: The Union Scout I. niw Dciikk railc from wnybaek. It has claimed to be Inde pendent' hei uiifoie. We will just say for the benefit of the Jihulc and all others who don't, seem to know what the word "inde pendent" means that Tin; .Scot'T is just as independent as it ever was and a little more so. It is independent enough to have its own opinions. Independent enough to raio its voice for I lie cause it believes to be right. Independent enough . at this juncture, to advocate the election of the demo cratic ticket because it believes that a crisis is at hand and that a struggle has commenced between capital and labor between the rich and poor between a molded, shoddy aristocracy and the democracy of honest toll, which if lost to the latter, will entail upon them a galling servitude. In dependent enough to allow man a voice in its columns. every Inde- pendent enough, if the principles of the two parties are ever reversed, to be a republican. This independence we hope always to possess. oreuox The San Francisco Alia says the following truthful words about the State of Oregon: "California does not possess all t no attractions that are attracting population westward. Oregon has gifts and graces of her own, and they are getting due atten tion since the completion of the Cali fornia Ar Oregon railway. It is a wonderful revelation of the rapidity of progress in our age, that Oregon, which was selected within forty years as a synoniin for distance, isolation, and solitude, by an American poet, is now a theatre of busy activity, joc und with the sounds of civilization, and tho objective point of tens of thousands of homo seekers. '1 he cli mate of Oregon is soft and salubrious tiv contrast with that of the F.at , and a soil that Is unrivaled for standard crops. Thero is plenty of arable laud, majestic timber, mineral re sources not half developed, and above all, the opportunity to buy at moder ate figures. These allurements are not lost upon the rest of the country, and backed by a hospitable welcome to the new comer, they will probably speedily second what nature has done for the founding of a great common wealth." Ell EE WHISKEY. The republicans want the tax taken off intoxicating liquors and manufact ured tobaccos, and still that party has a sub-faction praying for total prohi bition Tho tax taken off those un nosossaries would bring whiskey to f cents a beer glass full. That would make more drunkards than we have now, would not benefit s-doon keep ers, and would heal the government out. of revenue that had better bo paid than not. The democrats who are put down in prose and poetrj as whis key drinkers, tiro willing to have the price kept up to a high llgurc that is, the poorer clashes who are content with a strong portion night and morning. It is a prohibitory barrier to driiukeness. It would be better for the great masses of whiskey drink ers if tho price was fixed at fifty cents a drink, rather than tivo cents. Am man who spends troin So to $10 pop week out of his daily wages fop liquor, will agree to this. If any protection is needed it is against drunkeness and dissipation and not against tho neces sities of life. THE li L A SOX U'lI V. Two things have prevented tho in troduction of manufacturing indus tries in Union. Ono of them has been tho doleful croak, "It won't pay." Tho other has been the sli-ango reputation of some of our peo ple who havo had money for cent-pep-cent Investments. To lend money on mortgage ami take tho property In, has been regarded as tho most ap proved method of accumulating wealth. Hut fill couldn't pursue this system, nnd others, therefore, have attempted to Imitate it by lending out such sums of money as they could ac cumulate and sitting down in indo lence to livo on tho product. Thon If anybody has talked to them about es tablishing an Industry, the iuit.wor.or tho croaker was ready: 'OhI It won't pay. I must havo ten per cent fop my money, and interest boats everything else." Theso habits and views are largely the product of tho long Isolation on this coast of so many of oup-pooplo and their consequent, want of knowl edge of tho conditions of business and industry that havo grown up else where during tho past fow years. In the knowludgo necessary to enable us to avail ourselves of the opportunities of our situation, for the oroutlou of in Uiuii'lus in our midst, wo are lagging at lew! two decades behind the devel opment of other towns, mid still fur ther behind in the disposition to avail ourselves of them. Of the more com mon industries there is scarcely one that would not pay in Union, if Marted on a. moderate scale anu managed with an intelligent judg ment. We think these things will come about us me:i linditinore diflicult to Dillll HIWUXJ tiJJVII iiiivi mni, must be observed and rcineinncreu that knowledge to do those things and tho energy to take hold of them must be acquired, and here is the most dillicult problem of them all: To shake off this lethargy is the real problem of the hour. XOT A STAX. NoL a stain truthfully says the Cleveland Plain Dealer, rests upon the three years and four months' ad ministration of (Urover Cleveland. No charge of corruption has been made, nor could such a charge be made and sustained lor a moment. It has never been burdened with the infamy of "carpet-bag rule" or ' 'Credit Mobilier' ' fraud, or "black Fridav" scandal, or a "salary grab steal' or 1 whiskey fraud," or a "DeGoIyer pavement swindle," or a " Frccdman's bank swindle," or a "District of Columbia ring," or "government printing fraund," or "Indhn ring," or "Pacific Mail swindle," or "postal frauds," or "public building frauds," or "the public credit loaned to corporations, " or "government land swindles," or "navy frauds," or "Sanborn fraud," or a "San Domingo job." No crime like any of these has been charged against the present, adminis tration. It stands as much above its immediate predecessors for the past twenty years as honesty is above dis honesty. TMi'Jlv' Axn xbi)r. 'r Observe (hose two declarations on one subject by the llepublicin party: i-i.A'rrouM or U8I. The ltcpuhlican party pledges Itself to correct the iuiipinlitic.i of iho lurid'and to reduce the stirpliin, not bv the vicious and indiscriminate proccs ol horizontal re duction, hut by Mich methods as will re lieve thu tax-payer without injuring the laborer or the great productive interests of thu country. l'l.ATKOKM or 1SSS. The protection Isue must he maintained. Tho liopiiblicau party will ell'eet all needed reduction of tho national rev enue by repealing the taxes upon tobacco, which aro an iinnoj auee anil burden to agriculture, and the tax upon thu spirits ued in thu arts. We favor the entire repeal of the internal taxes lather than thu Mirriiider of any part of our pro tective sj stein. Four years ago there were "in'e qmilities of the tariff" and tho tax payer needed to be "relieved." This year the Republican party calls tor free whiskey and a cheap chew' be fore the sacred tariff is to be touched. We fail to iccall the proposal by the i Republicans in Congress during past, four years of any measure to cor reel inequalities or to relieve tax-pay ers. Indeed, thu only proposition to that end which has been before tho country since 1SSI the Mill bill is being fought tooth and nail by the Republicans. Were the Republicans trying to "destroy industry" four years ago, .or arc. tliev trying to cheat the worlc inginan now? J'ttrhot. j:ELi(;iors j'aj'ehs ox rjexn ixu issues. The Christian Union, in a well-considered article on "The Political Is sue, " points out tho lolly of tho Re publican policy, which, in the face of a surplus of $lSo. 000, 000 and its an nual increase of $110,000,000, fails to provide against tho nieuance of hope less bankruptcy to the country in duced by tho accumulation in tho treasury vaults of money which coin mepco needs. It tlns places in paral lel columns tho contrasting proposi tions of the Republican and Demo cratic platforms: Ui-p. Belli. Tax on tohneco Aholih Modify. Tax on alcohol Kisluce-nbolUh lictaia. Tux u raw mah'r'l ltilala Abolish, 'fax on ncces'r-i ltutain Keduce. Tax on luxuries Ketain ltutain. Object ol la. Protection Uevenue. IixpendtturcH Liberal Kcoiuuulcal. Wo know of no fairer or more pow erful argument than that expressed by this little table. Nor is there any stronger comment to ho mado upon it than that oppressed by tho Christian Union itself, in tlio following terms: We believe that it li:witnl relations to the future of oureotintry. Wo belline that tht I'oiuhiif elect on will bo likely to settle the iifiiil of nutiiiuul life lor some yours to come. Nor huve we any wish to conceal our personal nrcdik-etlons and predjtnllco-. Tin v are in favor of economical osqonili tun' uod a lower turiit Tho Chicago Milmlard and tlio Ad vance llkcwiso publish editorials ex pressing the indignation of thu moral sense of tlio country against tho Re publican platform, and especially tho "free whiskey" resolution, Tho immoral course of Iho "party of mor al Idous" respecting llnanco as well as regarding tuniporanee proporlv evokes tho reprobation of religious journals on wliono support it has heretofore relied. It Is hard to m bow any fair mind ed man can conscientiously consider the issue thus clearly made without favoring tho conclusion of our re ligious contemporary. It is haidei still to sec how church members, any where, can endorse tho platform of the Republican party or how christian ministers can leave their pulpits to harangue and write in its favor.
