ON MACHINE f h Standard Mowers Norwegian Plows, THE STANDARD MOWER Is the latest achievement of mechanical genius. Enclosed gear, front cut, sim ple and durable. Absolutely no side draft nor lost motion. Call ani Examine it Before Purchasing. F. M. SLOCUM, Agent, Medico. En. !-V:otrr: Our friend upon the ridge is not a shrewd politician, a poor leader, a dueed good Bailor (in imagination) and a fine lillibiiHter in reality. Notice his lilhbustering buncombe charge of "money makes the muro go in our re cent election." DeHignate one tingle instance in this county where your charge holdH good and in refutanco we will agree to furniHh positive proof tliat for every one ho influenced, at leant live hundred casea of voluntary back-sliders from your ranks went back on your party and platform. A few isolated cases of fraud in Portland only is on record. Your assertion is pre mature in the face of almost all of the organs of your party who openly an nounced that it was "the sheep that did it," and we are constrained to be hove tho truth whenever and by whom soever spoken. That nonsense will not pass current, but a poor exeuso is better than none. We are not fully aware that our par ty is wedded to monopolies, trusts and corporations, if you do make tho asser tion, and since you have kindly named a few millionaires, among whom is Mr. (ioulil, will you kindly inform us which way his influence and check did the most good in tho last presidential contest? So of hundreds of others that might bo named of his calibre. It is shwr nonsense to claim that all tho millionaires, money lenders, cor porations, bank firms, etc. aro all ar rayed on one side. Enquire of Mr. Hush, banker of Salom, and hundreds of others in your own .State. Messrs. Jacobs Bros., owners of tho Oregon City woolen mills aro all kindly assis ting your party, of which they havo a perfect right and no fault is found, yet you would have people beliovo capital can only be accumulated and used as an engine of warfare in destroying the hopes and aspirations of your party by the opposite faction. Too diaphanaus entirely to preach to enlightened American citizens with a common judgement and ronron. 'Tho wool interests is cornered by the wool trusts against tho llockman." Just h, in a rain's horn; but why should that particular corner occur immediately upon tho agitation of tho abrogation of the tax on wool? You will not succeed in pulling tho wool over any ono's eyes by such argument. It is a littlo lamo and will need consid erable doctoring to convince intelligent, ilockmen that such is the case, as well as a great many others who aro not di rectly interested in tho wool growing interest. Von pictures ho has no space for, especially when tho iniquitous system of Hritish fieo trade is shown up in incontrovertablo terms in destroying and demoralizing tho powers of Tur key, India, and the Spanish American Btates as cited to. They remain liv ing monuments of this sybtem our friend is so wedded to and it is well perhaps he has not tho time or space to try to disapprovo living facts of his tory,' as it would bo entirely useless. "To go hack in defense of my posi tion, will say I don't believe there is but few free traders in Union county," Well, it did not appear us thoro wero when tho polls wore counted in June. Wo don't believe thero is either, and will probably bo less at the fall elec tion. Had thero been more tho result of that littlo contest for political su premacy would havo been quite tliflor ont. You are candid, Mr. "Homo," and deserve great credit for your out spoken position, as you undoubtedly mean five (ratio and havo tho tenacity and hardihood to say so and stick to it, while upon tho other hand the lead ers of your party Mr. Mills, for in Htanco dodged tho issue, as when charged with proclaiming for "free wpou-h, free labor and frco trade" (in a speech" sonio four years since,) in tho JIoiim recently when discussing Ins famous free tnulo hill, by calling for a vote. Probably you alone aro tho only living representative of frco trade who j boldly proclaims, n in union county, yet nil aro undoubtedly f tho wuno persuasion who udvocato nod vote tho bhiiio as yourisoH. All our acquain tances deny tho feoft impeachment by disapproving tho allegation. 'What wan tho war of 1801, and what havo wo got to-day to chow or (liVuio'rm'oVa eyjfendffaro ol boMi lift Feed Mills, Disc Harrows, Cultivators, Seeders and Drills, Hacks, and money? Don't sing the old worn out songs of tho glorious union. We had union before, at the time and since the war." Yes, we had union of a kind just prior to tho war, union of bullets, bayonets and blood during the war and to-day the best (jovemmcnt up on the face of the earth, cemented by blooa of patriots upon the altar of lib erty, which should signify toour friend that that enormous expenditure of life and money was not in vain. The statement was recently made that wage-earners and fai -ners in this country exceed 10,000,000, while thoro aro upwards of 2r,000,()0l) persons di rectly dependent upon farming for a living, These 10,000,000 farm hands, their employers and capital invested produce annually over $3,000,000,000 exclusive of cotton and tobocco. Of this, 8 per cent only is sold in foreign markets, 02 per cent, being consumed at home- Which market is in tho in terest of our American fanners to pro tect and foster, our own or a foreign? Is it good judgement to destroy a home market in order to enhance tho inter ests of a foreign? Yet you would "throw wide tho portals and call every vessel in,' by your system. Wo do not believe our families wish to purchase "cheap John" goods in a foreign mar ket when all-wool American suits can bo had at their doors for $10 00 per suit. They would encourage and main tain American industries and a home market for the products of their farms. Again tho fanner is not independent of himself, as he depends upon nmnii faeiorios, mortgage saving banks, stock dealers, merchants, transportation companies and all tho hungry world, oven down to "pill makers" to supply the wants he is not able m) produce and to take his surplus products ofl his hands at remunerative prices. Each and every enterprise of whatever nature is dependent upon others for maiutaimmcc. Competition among our own manufactories havo a tendan cy and do keep down exorbitant pri ces, for proof of which please consult bids for government supplies and con tracts of all kinds. Tho woolen mills of our own State aro competing against each other in low prices. Hut jou would have cheap goods, cheap prices and cheap labor for all your wants, and high prices for all your produc tions, a state of a Hairs which is an ab solute impossibility, as induttiios of all kinds decrease the piico of your pro dilutions as much in proportion, then the farm mortgage will stare you in tho face and perchance end in "Over the hills to tho poor house." Tho farmers of America are million aires in comparison to those of Kits tin, India, lruland and other countries of tho Old continent, where the flail, tho i ceding hook, and ox, as well as women and children, bear the heal and tho burden, and receive in return a hare e.xistaucu for their labor, while "cheap John" clothing to thorn would bo a "consumation devoutly to bo wished." Farm mortgage cancers he attributes solely to our protective sys tem, but fails entirely to enlighten us upon tho vast expenditures yearly for farm machinery alone, where farmers mortgage their laud to secure when not in circumstances to admit of it, in order to keep up appearances with their ueighbois. The enormous amount of money yearly lost by improper care of it; tho extravagant stylo of living of many who purchase farm products of their local merchants instead of produ cing it; bad speculations, poor crops general bad managers, grasshoppers, drouths and cyclones, all have a ton danoy to bankrupt the farmers. Far mers will fail in business as well as business men. Of all the farms mort gaged in the Willamette- Valley or Kasteun Oregon, the direct cause can be traced back to causes set forth, ex cept probably one or two. "Tho farmer is supposed to keep a back seat and swallow tho Republican dose without a murmer," etc. Accor ding to tho bright scintillations of wis dom emanating from tho melanatio brain of our contemporary, consisting of a diarrluvo of words and a dysenta ry of ideas, tho foregoing expression in in keeping with his usual lino of ar gument. As to tho balance of his mud-slinging expressions in tho same connection wo decline to tako cogni banco of, as wo aro not disclosing tho action of uny particular party, but ou tho couMiry ltoWhiga friendly con Agency for Thimble and Steel Skein, Tubular, Channel bar and Iron Axles.

For l'rinted .Matter, Descriptive of the above Machinery, etc, Address: troversy upon the merits and demerits of free trade versus protection. Your pen pictures of A with $10,000 and with nothing is a delusion on the face of it, as people live in proportion to their means and thus is an unrcatona hle supposition which never would or will occur. A very sophistical line of argument, but unfortunately non sensical. In reply to your steel rail proposi tion, we will reply by asking you this question: How much profits did our Ilritish freo trado cousins make when they had a monopoly of the business under freo trade system in the United States, and why it was that the self same iron could be supplied at $27.50 per ton under a protective tarifl", when they charged railroads $1-10 per ton? Monopolies arc a had thing in this country when of American origin, but when of foreign enterprise never a word is said by certain parties. MEDICO. ADMINISTRATRIX NOTICE.
