THE mUTU OF THE ?l ATT Ell
If our IiiiIi protective tariff eontein
pornrics wore lioncul with themselves
ami their patrons they would, instead
of ropeatinjr from day to day, and
week to weak, the names of some of
the so-called demorrats who have de
clared their intention to support Har
rison, and calling them caeh day and
caeh week a now lid, of converts,
would tell their readers that party
lines are now being' readjusted and
that, this readjustment would continue
until tho issues dividing the demo
cratic and republican parties uro thor
oughly canvassed and discussed and
understood by the people. Yes, they
would tell them that a careful poll had
been made in the State of Indiana and
that that poll shows tint out of every
votes polled 10 republicans have
announced their intention of voting
for Cleveland and three democrats
bnvc likewise announced themselves
for Harrison, and in tho same count
three republicans and one democrat
bad declared for prohibition, and that
unless this defection could in some
way bo overcome or tho parties
brought 'back to their former nflilia
Jions, Indiana would cast her electo
ral vote for Cleveland by no less than
120,000 majority. They would also
toll their readers that u like poll bad
been made in the State of Illinois, and
that taking !( votes as a basis it
showed a net republican loss in that
number of votes of 12, and a net dem
ocratic gain in the same number of
ill. They would also toll them that
if this defection is not stopped and the
parties brought back to their former
party alliliations that Illinois would
also cast its electoral vote for Cleve
land, and that tho same stale of affair
is claimed to exist in Iowa, Minnesota
and Michigan. They would also tell
their readers that in tho State of Now
York large numbers of the most influ
ential republicans are deserting Har
rison and going over to tho. democrat
ic party and that tho expressions of
the religious papers throughout, the
nation on tho free whisky and dear
clothing clause of the republican plat
form are of the most dissatisfactory
oharactor, also that our religious and
moral teachers are leaving the g. o. p.
and taking, as they say, to tho woods,
or going to tho prohibitionists, or de
claring for Cleveland. Wo do not re
fer to our religious teachers who are
such for rcvenuo onlv, but to men j
who pursuo the pulpit as a calling,
they would also tell their readers that
every influential paper in the nation
that supported Cleveland in 1 88 1 is
supporting him in 1888, and that out
of 200 labor papers in tho United
States 187 are now supporting Cleve
land;!' uro supporting Harrison and
U are taking no part in the campaign.
They would also tell them not to rely
too implicitly on these so-called dem
ocratic converts on tho scoro of an
omuargo uiriii, lor ticmocrais as a
class have been educated to bolievo
that unnecessary taxes should not bo
gathered from the people, and that
taxes should bo placed most lightly on
tho shoulders of labor, and most hea
vily on tho wealthy classes.
When you lind a democrat deserting
bis party you will llud in lit) cases out
of 100 that be docs so on grounds re
ally or imaginably seliish, and not on
account of any changes in his party's
principles, In 1)1) eases out of 100 he
imagines himself protected in the busi
ness in which he is engaged; ho im
agines or clso it is a fact that bis neigh
bors, with whom bo deals, aro paying
tribute to him and his, whilo on tho
other hand (bo men who aro deserting
the republican party aro taking away
with thorn thn party's bonst of a few
ycarrf ago, that it was tho party of
great morals, etc. No, dear renders,
do not think for a moment that party
desertions aro nil one way. Do not
slumber in tho belief that tho g. o. p.
is not losing two voters whoro it gnlns
oito.

Among a few qucrrics recently pro
pounded lo our readers was ono ask
ing if thoy over know n mouev shark,
land grabber, bunker, monopolist or
any of that ilk who wore not republi
can's. Tills innocent little question has
caused somo of our contemporaries to
go noarly into convulsions. Among
tho tnoro soriotisly affected is 4,Snod
tly'n" paper, over at La Grande. It
devotes a column to answering that
otio question, and mentions several
prominent men, of that character,
who aro democrat, Its assertions
may or may not bo truo, so far as wo
know, but, as wo said In that artielo,
wo look upon a man of that character
ivlio Is ft tloiuoerat, as u living euiiosl
ty. Wlicu tho Gazdlv, howovur tries
to-pahn Jay (jouM off on the public as
a democrat, it is drawing on our cred
ulity too intich, for everybody knows
better. Could is too shrewd a nmn
to be anything oho than n republican .
He gave ?f0,000 to the Illnina cam
paign fund, and will give it much
more to elect Harrison. Tie did send
Cleveland a congratulatory message,
when be found that Cleveland was
elected, but that was only the wiley
act oi a money snaiK trimming nit
sails to meet the coming breeze.
It is the policy of such men to stand in
with the powers that be. .At present
when you find one of that class who
is a democrat you will find a bundled
who arc republicans. Yet, wo aro
free to say that should the republicans
lose at the coming election their party
will be dead beyond resurcction, and
in six years every thieving money
shark and monopolist in the country
will be a howling democrat. In six
years more they will have the demo
cratic parly niulir control as they now
have the republican party. It is the
proper time now, for the people to
knock out the republican party. It
will be the proper time then, to sit
down on the democratic party. Patri
otic citizens of this country should
have no parly affiliations , but at each
election vote for the best interests of j
the country. If they are not polled,
as wo said before, they should vote
against the party that is favored by j
money power, and they won't miss it
TRUE TO JUS J'JITXCII'LES.
The Wallowa Chieftain , a republi
can paper, was recently very much
exercised over the fact that some sheep
men in the adjoining territory bad
broughttheir slieep overonto the Wal
lowa ranges, and thought a Mop
should bo put'lo it. This looked to
us very inconsistent in a paper that is
so very much in favor of taxing the
people for the benefit of tho sheep
men, and we said so. The Chieftain
replies:
rue editor oi tup M'otit does not graNp
the .situation. What we wanted and dc-
lraiulcd Is protection to the Mock men of
ourcoiinty. If tilt; (ock from nciKhboring
territories is nroiigiu into tins county we
want nay for the daiuaan done. This is
protection, the return or of an iquivelnnt
lor vanie received, we admit, as tne scout
says, that consistency is not to ho looked
tor "in u man wedded body anil soul to
party, ' aim at tne name time winji to re
mind the brother of the (inill that, not
Uitt all the good ol this sinful world is
confined to the editors of independent Jour
nals. We grasp tho situation fully. There
can be no doubt about, tho Chieftain
man being a republican all the way
through , and of vast and varied learn
ing in political economy.
Tho same principle that causes the
sheep men of Wallowa to protect them
selves against the sheep men of an. ad
joining county, carried to its logical
conclusion, would cause every man to
'&.v a wall between himself and neigh
bor, and, applied to the family, (a
minnttiro government in itscli) would
cause each brother's ai ni to be raised
against his brother, and each one's
hand against his father in the selfish
effort, to "protect" his own individu
al interests. That is the genuino ro
publieaiiisin of to-day. livery man
for himself and the devil for them all.
Let trusts, monopolies anil combines
oppress all who got in their way, for
haven 'ttliey the right to protect them
selves? Oh, yes, certainly thoy have,
and tho Chieftain will raiso its piping
voico for "protection" every time,
for that is what it conceives to bo the
principle of its party.
Hut, thank Heaven, that is not the
idea entertained by the masses of the
people. It is not tho democratic itlea.
nomocracy now has for its grand un
derlying principles Tho greatest good
to tho greatest number protection for
the weak and restraint for the arro
gant and powerful a fair equitable
anil just ballanco between all classes
of tho people. Thesu aro tho broad,
fundamental principles upon which it
stands and doponds for its existence.
Thoy tiro tho principles evolved by
thobost thinkers, in tho light of tho
experience of all tho ages, as tho only
onos upon which n republican form of
govornment can bo maintained. Hv
ery man should bear this in mind and
not allow his party prejudices or adul
ations to interfere in the least with
what bo conceives to be rights
Tho Chicjlain thinks it is very con
sistent in its course, wo presume,
yet It will toll you that thero aro a
great many mon in Wallowa cotintv
engaged in raising cattle, and that
this industry is not protected by tho
tariff or iu any other way. It will ad
mit that tho sheep men aro protected,
and that the cattle men are taxed to
keep up tho protection. It will not
deny that tho sheep industry is de
structive to tho cattle industry, and
yet it will counsel every solitary cattle
man to vote tho republican ticket iu
order that the protection to the Buoep
industry ma bo kept up.
As we said before, eomdstouev lea

wedded body and suul to party.

Editor lfunnci Voice :
uign oik: lour vatuauie paper
lias come to hand and 1 think it ought
to be in the bauds of every farmer in
the United States. Let the voico of the
farmer go out and sound tho trumpet,
"Down witli class legislation." Give
us more ex-Senator Whitings and
I'ayncrB of Maryland.
I have been voting for twenty-eight
years and voting with the republican
party, but as this is the first time in
my life that I have a chance to vote
for my interest I shall certainly avail
myself of the opportunity.
I'fllow-fanners, let no party lash
deter us from voting for our interests.
Talk with the majority of our western
editors.
"Uli, yes," they will say, "it is time
tho protection duties were reduced."
But not ono word do they dare to
utter against their masters political
niiisferc and yet the western editor's
support conies directly from the funn
els. Let us let our political leaders
know that this protective nophistry
isn't broad and butter for us.
I, as a farmer, grow or raise beef,
pork, wheat, rye, barley, potatoes, on
ions,, radithcH, boots, peas and beans,
of which we farmers always have a
surplus, thrown onto the foreign mar
kets not protected, and when I want
to purchase the staples of life 1 find
that I have to buy under a, protective
law.
I have a f( w plain, mmplc facts that
I give when called upon by my fellow
farmers to address u meeting, from
the fact that I know that farmers, as a
nile, don't go into u detail of their
business.
I I'ike my hog, for instance, and see
how often it lias to bear its share of
the protective lurill'.

.Fanners and laborers of America,
we have been protectod too long now
already, as our mortgaged farms, high
taxes and 1 to 5 per cent, per month
our national batiks charge for money
testify. Let us hcod not the party

THE HAVPY FARMER
Heboid, then, the happy farmer as
ho rises in the morning ami puts on
his common llannol shirt, taxed 05
per cent. It is perchance cool, ami ho
puts on a coat taxed 57 por cent. Ho
cannot go without shoes, taxed !I5 por
cent., and the hat that he puts on is
taxed (55 per cent. He draws water in
a bucket taxed JIB per cent., and wash
es bis face and hands iu a tin bowl
taxed !15 per cent., drying them on a
cheap towel taxed 15 por cent.
Hut still more happiness is iu store.
He sits down to breakfast and eats
from a plate Uxod 50 por cent., with
a knifo ami fork taxed 85 por cent.
Tho eugar ho puts in bis cofl'eo is
taxed Si! por cent., and ho seasons bis
food with salt taxed -10 por cent. He
look fondly t his happy wife and
children who share bis protection with
him, ntl thou goee out and fills bis
pip with tobacco taxed 1S2 pei cent.,
or j vi hup light a protected cigar
taxed 118 per cent. Mean while tho
unlling sun t renins through tho pro-
. tcclwl g)HM windows of his domioile

then hitches her to a plow taxed 45

tected labor.
The day's work being done he reads
a chapter from the family Riblo taxed
25 per cent., and kneels to prayer on
an bumble carpet taxed 51 per cent.
At last be lies down and wraps his
weary limbs in a sheet taxed -15 per

pheus under a blanket that is taxed

And Tub Scout desires to add that
when the happy farmer receives his
morning mail and looks at the market
reports of Liverpool to ascertain what
his wheat is worth, reads of countless
hordes of Mongolians, dynamiters and
paupers of the Old World constantly
pouring into our country without any
tariff being imposed upon them, it
makes him feel good all over; and
when lit) reads again of millions of
dollars accumulating in the vault of
the treasury, for which the govern
incut lias no need, and tlien opens
a letter from bis protected banker
stating that that mortgage on his
farm must be settled forthwith, bis
cup of joy is full to overflowing and ho
is very, very thankful for the blessed
republican methods of "protecting"
him.
KNOWS HOW IT IS.
The Capital Journal ', a well edited,
respectable republican journal, in
speaking on the tariff question says:
"When Mr. Foster, tho president
of the American Tariff Association,
wrote in a confidential circular re
centlv about "frying the fat out of
llicse wcaltl v manufacturers, " whom
lie describes as "the only persons
who benefit by the tarifl"' ho knew
precisely what he was talking about. ' '
So, he did. The manufacturers,
and not laborers, are the ones who
receive the benefits of high tariff
Were it. not so they would not spend
their moncv so lavishly to prevent
:iny reduction of tho tariff.
S UPROSE, FOR INSTANCE.
Suppose Cleveland bad made use of
the following in his message:
"Manv duties now collected and
which give but an insignificant re
turn for tne cost of collection might bo
remitted H5 the direct advantage of
consumers at home. I would men
tion those articles which enter into
manufactures of all sorts. All dutv
paid upon such articles goes directly
to the cvst ot the article when manu
factured here and is paid by the con
sumer. Thcso duties not only Sooino
from the consumers at home, but act
as a protection to foreign manufactur
ers of the same completed articles in
our own and distant markets. "
Would not every republican in the
land have charged him with being a
free trader? Most certainly, for the
language is stronger than any thing
to be found in his message, but the
alpvc quotation is from President
Grant's seventh nnnual message and
not a republican in the laud was so
foolish as to call him a free trader.

The democratic, party believes that
it would promote American interests
to stop the collection of a continuous
surplus of .12o,000,000 a year and
leave the money in the pockets of the
people who earn it.
Tho democratic parly believes that
it would promoto American interests
to take off the unnecessary taxes from
the food, the fuel, the clothing and
the shelter of American eiti.ens.
The democratic party believes that
it would promote American interests,
as against Ilritish or any other foreign
interests, to give our manufacturers
their raw materials free and thus en
able them better to compete iu our
own market and in tl.o markets of the
world with competitors that now beat
them, becauso not handicapped with
taxes on materials and machinery.
The democratic party believes that
it would promoto Amorican interests
to secure steadier work at better
wages for American workingmcn, in
stead of subjecting them to tho lock
outs, shut downs and strikes of the
past dozen years. It would do this by
widening the markets for onr pro
ducts and thus increasing tho demand
for them.
Tho democratic party believes that
it would promotoj;Amcrican iutcrcsts
to keep the control of the Government
in tho bauds that have so succossfnlly
administered it during the past three
years.
