EDITOR TAL NOTES.
Von: for Cleveland, tariff reform,
and good government.
Yes, we've heard from Maine, and if
the election there may bo taken as an
indication of public sentiment, Cleve
land will sweep everything before him
in November.
Whk.v "the democratic sheep raiser
votes the republican ticket because he
imagines he is serving his own inter
ests to do no, can ho blamo the repub
lican cattle raisers for voting the demo
cratic ticket?

Sr.rAitATi: Hun iron from the repub
lican party and it would bo the last of
Harrison. .Separate the republican
party from Maine and it would be the
last of the republican parly. The
arch demagogue holds tho whole out
lit in his hands and manipulates them
to suit his ambitious designs.
Dn. Ta.vnkk who fasted forty days in
New York, now has a scheme to hi
bernate. Ho says hibernating ani
mals do not use their lungs, and ho
proposes to have himself sealed up for
a timo in an air-tight vessel and prove
liis theories. Tho doctor should wait
till after tho November election and
try tho experiment on tho republican
parly.
Tin: New York Evening Tost says:
"The republican parly has become
essentially a syndicato of lich mon,
with a following of dupes who have
been persuaded that tho prosperity -f
the country i promoted by high taxes.
Translated into plain English, their
rallying cry is this: 'fiCt tho govern
ment tuko oare'of tho rich, and tho
rich will tako care of tho poor.' This
is tho true significance of all tho rack
et about wages."
Jilt. Ui.aini: can hardly bo a sincere
man. Ho says: "Trusts have no
place in a national canvas, but are
statu issues." In 1881 ho said tho
same about prohibition, and his
ccrity was male unquestimably evi
dent when in Maiis in tho same year
be went to the polls to vote n "scto

young Indian squaw was burned at
tho stako for a witch in Southern Cal
ifornia a few days ago. She was
burned near Hock Springs, fcsau Ber
nardino county, by a band of Mojavo
Indians. It was two hours before the
horrible deed was completed and tho
girl's screams silenced. The Indians
told Homon, who loportcd the horrible
deed, that it had been several years
since they had burned a witeh, though
several had been condemned since
then, but managed to umuk." We

HARRISON'S HOMILIES.
Harrison is "still harping on my
daughter' 'still talking pedantically
nuil almost pitifully to ill visiting del-
cgntions about the beiiclit of protect-
ion to wngo-carticrs; still protesting
that frner conmicrcc will cause lower
wages.
The very fact that Harrison is thus
pleading for favor with the wage
earners is of itself suspicious, because
ho was never known to interest him
selt in workiiigmeii and thoir wages
before.
In fact his whole career, so far as it
has touched by word or deed upon
this subject, has been a sneer, a scoff,
at workingmeii, whom ho despised,
Mid nl the wage-question, lleis and
always has been a I'ourbon blhc-blood
aristocrat withan " J-thank-God-that-I-ain-not-as-otbcr-incii-are'
' spirit
prompting and guiding his whole life.
When he was a railroad attorney in
1877, at a salary of $20,000 a year, he
acted as an "arbitrator" in the dilli
ciilty between tho railroads and the
workingmeii, siding of course with
tho company on every point , and
breathing out threatening and (daugh
ter against (ho strikers.
When ho was in the senate his every
vote and word, upon any question
touching Iho labor question, proved
him to be the friend and champion of
the cheapest labor possible.
Uut, aside from bis true sentiments
and his "record," what, ho alitrms,
or rather what he suggests that pro
tection causes better wages is utterly
untrue, and Mr. Harrison, as an in
telligent man, must know it to bo
untrue.
No one fact in the whole range of
political science has been more clear
ly, completely, and conclusively
proven than tho fact that protection is
no benefit, but rather a damage, to
wage-earners.
Why. tho simplo facls before Iho
face of every intelligent man prove
this, if thorough investigation of ex
perl statesmen and scientists had not.
If protection raised wages, tho em
ployers of labor would not bo in favor
of it, because thev all want cheap
labor, as Harrison did when ho Oas a
$20,000 railroad attorney.
It protection raised wages, then
wages fc'ould Jtrl have been IgUtcr, as
h?e been , in ifiis ftml in tH
countries, under low tariffs, or if yoTl
pfcftso "friHi trade."

Why, it has been dcnionstrtjtQx! by

total cost of t&o manufactured pro
duet. Kdward Atkinson proved this.
Consul Schoenoff proved it. Prof.
KichnrilT. Kly proved it. The olli
eials of every civilized government on
earth havo acknowledged U. Even
lilaiuo confessed it. Every man who
has read political economy knows it.
This one fact destroys every vestigo of
foundation or excuse for tho falsehood
that protection benefits labor.
i Prelection" is protection of capi
tal alone. It is a robbery of labor.

"Don't you see," said tho manu

it enables mo to get higher prices from

"Yes," replied tho workingnian,
'and 1 tun a homo consumer."
"True," responded the manufact

HEAD OUR SUPPLEMENT.
We giro our readers, this week, a
supplement containing editorials from
tho Portland Oregoman covering
the period from 1880 to 1887, inclus
ive. They were written at a timo
when the tariff question was not an
issue between the parties, and may bo
taken as the honest sentiments of tho
editor of that paper on the subject.
They arc unanswerable orgunicntsin
favor of the policy adopted by the
democratic party to-day. Wo urge
our readers to peruse tho supplement
carefully. It is well known what po
sition that paper now takes on the
tariff Issue, and with what persisten
cy it is trying to disprove the argu
ments it presented then. By its own
words it stands convicted as a shame
less liar. Arc not such examples as
this sufficient to cause tho masses of
tho people to stop and think? Arc
they not suggestive of the vast power
that money can exert in the hands of
unscrupulous millionaires and manu
facturers bent on the furtherance of
their iniquitous designs? A war is
now being waged between capital and
labor, between the rich and the poor.
On one side arc the parasites pouring
out their money to buy up the venal
and mercenary. On the other side
arc the champions of the poople fight
ing manfully no money in sight for
them rich only in patyotism. desir
ing only tho welfare of their country.
Chooso between them and do it
quickly.

Another fine illustration of the lib
eral ideas of veracity entertained by
the associated press reporters and
agents, was had just after tho lte
Maine election. Ever since itu organi
zation the asoociated press has been ma
nipulated in tho direct interest of the
republican party, and returns of elec
tions havo been uniformly falsified in
order to further tho plans of tho repub
lican bosses. It is impossible to perma
nently suppress tho official returns,
however, and, after having mado a
great uproar over a fancied gain in
tho republican voto in Maine, the Har
rison organs now find it convenient to
say no niwro about it. The truth is
that tho clear republican majority
ovor all in Blaino's bailiwick is only
14.G46, a greater falling of from 1884
Land even from 1880. When tho first
returns came in, it was heralded through
tho prcB that there would be nt least
20,000 clear majority ovor tho demo
cratic candidates. Now, however, it is
nuinifet that theie has been a demo
cratic gain in the state since Clove
tond'i election of almost 10,000 vote
A little more of Mich chlcunrry on tho
miri of tlm riiniiblican manacrra would
dimitut even their own followerd.
