Tin: fust wnil of the new born
whntiKdoodle will lo heard next week.
Tiik Oregon 1'rofH Association will
meet in rJaloin, August 10th. Every
newspaper innn in tlio Htato should he
present.
Tin: Rakor City Tribnnr. eeeniH to
linvc jih ninny lives a the average fe
line. 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.

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.

Inde-
pendent enough, if the principles of
the two parties are ever reversed, to
be a republican. This independence
we hope always to possess.

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.

Tax on luxuries Ketain ltutain.

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

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.
