Tlicro is nothing so short-sighted as selfish- Mk.vico has a high protective tariff, and labor is so well "protected" there that In good times laborers are able to command wages equal to twenty-five cents u day, says tho Virginia City, jSt,v., Chronicle. 4 Thi: democratic party needs no higher indorsement than this: Tho only possible chance for tho republi can party to maintinn itself in power is to do practically tho very thing tho democrats proposed to do this vear. An exchange ably remarks: "By tho way, speaking of suppressed votes uno free ballots and things, tho demo crats of Philadelphia cast JiL,J20 votes, and get ono congressman, while tho republicans cast ll 0,705) votes and get four congressmen ! Tho gerrymander is mightier tluin tho shotgun." Tin: "malignant little scrubs of Ore gon journalism," as termed by tho Portland Buzzard, aro (ho newspapers that have brains enough to seo through tho arrant hypocrisy of (lint venomous old saddle blanket, and in dependence enough to speak their minds. Salem titalmmun (Kop.) coal mines, m Pennsylvania, have shut down in order to enable the ieal trust to maintain its grip on the pub lic, and GOOO men ha0 been thrown out of employment for the winter, and their dependent families rodueed to want and suffering. It is rather goon after election to exposo the hollow lnotcnso of tho thousand "defenders of American industry;" but then tho O. defenders" aro assured of four 9ear of ollicial power, and they live in tho hope of being able to bamboozle the public on homo other false isetio in 1S!)2, if indeed tho proposed admission of tho republican territories will not enable the republican party to got along without tho laboring man alto gether in tho next campaign. Then, loo, the "defenders" contributed hand somely to the corruption fund of tho hibt election and of course have to got their money back from the general public in home way. How better than in a stato liko Pennsylvania, whore an airogant majority of 80,000 enables them to do such things with impunity) What matter if a few thousand little mouths go hungry, u few thousand liltlo bodies unclad, a fow hundred of. thorn perhaps consigned to the gravQ and some mhiIs to perdition, to long as tho "defenders" aro onabled to look out for their pocket iuluiosts. They are not in politics for tlioir health, and if thev do not make back a por tion of their contributions to the gen eral campaign fund, many a little coaching trip through merry Kngland, and many a jaunt on the continent will have to bo abandoned.

States as ewanip lands can bo restored to settle ment and entry, and with a view to this end ho proposes to institute a thorough examination of all tho lands claimed under tho swamp giants In competent agents at an early day. J ins is a step 111 tho right direction. Ajcii now comes railroad trust has Gould, Huntington tho news that a boon formed bv I he high tanfl' on wool hail lillod tho country full of second-hand woolon mill machinery. It is estimated that half tho woolen manufacturing plants in the country could bo bought lor loss than half tho original cost. As an in stance, a joint stock company organiz ed at Santa Rosa sonio years ago lias been obliged to shut down because there is no longer a market for inferior goods and tho taritf on finer wools makes it impossible to import them for manufacture at a profit, The wool of this coast is not adapted for.naking lino dross goods when used alone al though they would be very valuable for mixing with finer grades of Aus tralian wool. Something is rotten there over was a tnno when these triifcts needed to bo sot down upon it is just about at this juncture. Ex. That has been exactly our idea for fcomotimo, but tho juncluro .has ar rived when wo think it is pertinent to aslc our exchange, 111 tho languages of tho nvorago trust: "What arc going to do about it?" and others. If when a woolo mill cannot bo advantage?, it has only a peculation of j made for tho original entry, when the some .ju.uuu, one-halt as many as j additional onfc-y is inadw, Mum t&e pi wai.ou, ono-tinnl as many as iN'obras-p cut shall issue wWik.'- Wfur 9.b - i you Ghkat agitation is now .going on iif the minds of the ladies of thcTRopub lio. It seems that Mrs. Cleveland dis carded tho bustle some time ago, am the general opinion was that that somewhat, prominent appendage would quietly subside into "inocuous density tutlo as it wore, but now comes Mis Harrison wearing a bustlo of Immense proportions and says they don't Jun to go. Society is looking on with breatjiless interest, and tho end is no yet. 'I'm: ashcsssnient rolls of the diner out counties show tho valuation of tax nhloproport;. in tho state to bo about .$!(),(()(), 000, as compared with $8.1,888 f)80, last year, an increase of ovorfyTy 000,000. Tho total tax will bo !!.! mills of which ;t mills will bo for State pur pose, two-tenths of a mill for tho mill tia and one-tenth for (ho University of Oregon. LaM year tho Stato tax was 1.0 mills and tho militia and university taxes tho same as this year. Tho throo mill tax will givo $270,000 for Stato purposes, tho two-tenths-inill tax $18, 001) for tho niilila and one-tenth mill tax $0,000 for tho university. Al.Tlloi'ou llarresou has a majority il the electoi-.tl vote, Cleveland will havo n majority of about 200,000 of the popular vote. This is a magnificent endorsement of tarill' reform by tho country. It shows too, how the popu lar will of the country is dufeated by tho electoral system of tho country. Tito, timo is drawing nigh when this electoral humbuggery must cease. It is a incuaco ton government by the people, in, (hat it makes it possible for n largo minority to rulo tho majority. This is in direct opposition to our form of government and tho constitution should bo so amended as to do away with it. Lot a majority of our people rulo and wo aro right; hut whuu that power is takon from tlionrniid given to nmdo to pay a profit with cheap wool, cheap water power and cheap Chinese labor which the republican manufac urors on this coast employ almo3t ex clusively and it is vory evident that tho rottenness consists in restricting the manufacture to low-grade goods in the indeavor to compel tho use of American grown Ileoces "oxcluMvely.' Tho proposition is incontrovertible that tho admixturo of free foreign wools in our manufactories would benefit al iko the producer tho consumer and iniinuiaciurcr. i-;x. y ritorjIKTIH UTTHKANOKH. Nearly twenty years ago, Abraham Lincoln uttered these prophetic words: "Yes wo may all congratulate our selves that this cruel war is drawing to a close- It has cost a vast amount of treasure and blood. Tho best blood of tho llowor of Amcriacan youth has boon freely ofl'ored upon our country's altar that tho nation might live. It has been, indeed a trying hour for tho republic, but 1 seo in tho future a crN' sis approaching that uniuirvos mo and causes mo to tremble for tho safety of our country. As a result of tho war, corporations havo been ontlivonod, and an era of) corruption in high places will follow, and tho inonev power of the country will endeavor to nrolonir its loign by working upon tho preju dices of "tho people until all wealth is "ogrogntcd in a fow hands and tho public is destroyed. 1 feel at this mo ment more anxiety for my country than ever before, oven in inhUt of win.

Tho chief products of Oregon ai wheat, wool, hops and lumber. It Vi scarcely any manufactures. T.o State abounds in wator-powur, owing to tbo war duty on raw materi als it has never proved profitable to establish faclorios bore. The cxtei sion of tho wheat area has been hin dered by tho absorption of an UMe!'o slniro of tho arable soil by sheep pas ture. Thero aro about 2,(i00,tf sheep in the State, and they uso and waste a great deal of good laud. The Stato would undoubtedly contain more people if it contained fewer sheep, and tho sheep-growers would make moro money if they raited less wool. Tho market is overstocked with Oregon wool, ft has been selling in Boston at from 10 to 22 cents in the grease, while foreign clothing wool has commanded from 111 to .'!(! cents; Oregon washed llcoceu havo gone beg ging at :i!i cents, while washed Aus tralians are worth 53 cents. Why? Simply because there is more Oicgon wool than spinners want. And tho Oregon sheep-raiser fancies tho tarill' helps liiin. wfMMKia'TCX'zca-jaHCTCcmsi :oim's' i,AXi) KHvinw.
