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

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.
