So Long ns politic-inns control the
destinies of tho country, it is only right
nnd necessary Hint the people control
politics. Tho people must dabble in
politics it cannot bo avoided.
With woolen and worsted mills go
ing to bankruptcy every day, somebody
should rise and explain the relation of
tho tariff to this unhappy state of af
fairs. Is the Chinese wall thcoiy a
failure?
Tun "Sons of Veterans" are prepar
ing to demand pensions; next will be
the sons-in-law, cousins, grandsons,
nnd all others related to or decended
from anybody who had the least con
nection with the union armies. This
groat plunder machine will break down
of its own weight after awhile. K. 0.
Tin: Jacksonville Times portinently
reminds the farmers of Oregon that the
12,000,000 grain bags required for tho
surplus in Oregon this year represent a
tax paid by tho farmer to the juto trust
of about three cents per bag, or .$300,
000. Tins is quite a burden to carry
in nn "oil" year" merely for tho privi
lege of maintaining a prohibitive tariff.
Pkoi'm: who think that missionary
work docs not pay are invited to look
over the accounts of a clergyman who
was sent to Jnpan by a New York
church. His expenses were $1,000,
but ho cleared ten times that amount
by shipping heathen idols to tho Uni
ted .States. Practical Christianity
probably novcr had a better exponent
than this gentleman.
Word is received that O. W. Hunt
loft a few days ago for tho east, to bo
gono two or three weeks. JIo has not
communicated with our railroad com
mittees further than was noted in a
roeont isbuo of this paper. His move
ments seem to bj somewhat eratic, but
they are probably satisfactory to him
self. Wo doubt not ho will como to
tho center in time, but candor com
pels us to say that his movements in
that direcsion are just a trille slow.
Couroiui. T annkk, commissioner of
ponsions, has been kicked out. Presi
dent Harrison's remark that "Tanner
novor opons his mouth but ho gets his
foot in it," impels us to tho belief that
lie was not fired for what ho was actu
ally doing in tho way of reducing tho
surplus, but for tho reason that ho
talked too much about it witli his
mouth. It is best that sonio wok bo
done with ns littlo attention being
drawn to it as possible.
Tnuitu are a largo number of peoplo
in every growing community whoso
land has been doubled in value by tho
riso in surroundiug property, without
n singlo oflbrt being put forth on their
part, or tho expenditure of a singlo
cent. This may have been the result
of shrowd investments or it may have
been luck. In either caso, tho owners
of such laud should feel an obligation
to liberally support the profs, which
does moro than any other one factor
towards promoting tho growth of tho
town, and should willingly help for
ward, according to their moans, ovory
public enterprise K.
Hon. Sami'ki. Sui.i.ivan Cox, com
monly known as "Sunset" Cox, died
last week at his homo in Now York.
Hu was born at Zanesvillo, Ohio, Sept.
210, 1821, and graduated at Drown
university in 2S10. During his event
ful life ho was lawyer, politician and
editor and has held commanding posi
tions in the United States. Kioin
1857 to 18(i.r) ho was democratic mom
bor of congress from Ohio and removed
to New York in tho latter year. Agnin
in 1878 ho was elected as a member of
congress in tho latter stato and lias
been sevornl times re-oleuted to tho
Biuno position.
lti:coiti:it Tuttlk hits completed
tho assessment of tho city and a com
parison of tho total amount of taxable
proporty given in with that given in
Inst year discloses u falling oil" of if 1 28,
090. This was caused by tho deduc
tion of indebtedness. Two or three
men who have been considered tho
wealthiest in Union pay no taxes at
nil. Wo have no reason to believe they
misrepresented their financial condi
tion, but it shows that they have been
looked upon by tho peoplo in n fnltc
light heretofore. Whero it was thought
thoy were "pretty well healed" finan
cially, tho fact is thoy are worth abso
lutely nothing.
TIIKOKY AND TACT.
Tho "principle which is tlif vvry
foundation of a protective tarili," ac
cording to one of its defenders, is that
"when you assuro to a man a certain
extent of market he can afford to si 11
to you what you want cheaper than
he can possibly do if operating on a
smaller scale." And tho deduction is
drawn, says tho New York World; that
because the protective tariff reeures to
a manufacturer a home market he can
produce moro nnd sell cheaper Mian
would othcrwifcc be the ca?e.
This is a plausible theory, but tho
trouble is, it docs not work.
In tho first place, in many branches
of manufacture tho cost tjf tho raw
material and of the machinery is so
enhanced by the tnrjiT that American
manufacturers cannot produce their
fabrics or wares as cheaply as can for
eign competitors who are not thus
handicapped.
In tho next place, it is not what the
protected mnnufuoturori can "afford"
to do, but what they actually do which
settles tho value of protection. The
tariff-buttressed sugar trust can "af
ford" to sell sugar at less than 10 cents
a pound, but having control of the
market, it won't do it. Tho copper
combination, which is given control of
tho homo market by a duty of four
cents a pound, can "afford" to sell
copper at loss than 12 cents a pound.
Dut its members naturally prefer to
pile up fortunes for themselves to sup
plying the country with cheap copper.
And so it is in every protected in
dustry which takes advantage of the,
suppression or limitation of foreign
competition by our tariff to combine
for n control of tho maiket. Thoy
put on, as tho coal barons said, "all
tho price that the market will bear."
The protective theory may bo beauti
ful. Tho protective fact is extortion
and robbery.
I.A1VVKU AND 1CDITOIC.
Queer world thisl A lawyer and
an editor stood on a strcot corner in
an Ohio town and saw a man mur
dered in cold blood. Tho murderer is
a rich man, and after committing tho
deed ho said to tho lawyer and editor:
"Hero is n thousand dollars for eacli of
you, defend mo before tho court and
tho peoplo for tho crimo 1 have com
mitted." They took the money and
defended him in their own way and
according to their own profession
tho editor through his paper and the
lawyer through his mouth. Tho mur
derer through their joint efforts was
acquitted. Hut sco the diilerencc
mark the result. Tho peoplo said :
"Tho editor is a scoundrel, and did so
for pay. Lo! wo will stop his paper
and no longer patronize him." The
paper was stopped tho editor ruined
financially and reduced to a pauper.
Dut of the lawyer tho people said:
"Ho is an able man, deeply learned in
tho law, and deserves great credit for
having obtained tho acquittal of a
man guilty of murder! Wo will give
him our law businoss and pay big
fees." They made him a judge and
as such ho sont his partner, tlto editor,
to tho work-house, and said ho was a
bad man, and should not only bo de
prived of tho moans of living, but
punished.
Wo don't endorse tho act of an edi
tor in laboring for what is wrong or
against what is right for money but
how about tho lawyer? Leavenworth

Tho following article clipped from
tho Ashland Sentinel is sueh excellent
advico that wo reprint it for tho bene
fit of our business men :
When farmers aro busy in the har
vest and cornfields of midsummer,
bushes is naturally dull Then it i
that the merchant who seeth not ory
far beyond the end of his nose, in a
business way, employs part of his
spare tiino to go and havo his standing
ad taken out of tho homo paper. The
tired farmer, who being too busy to go
to town to find out what is going on,
naturally turns to tho pages of his pa
per of evenings and Sundays for the
information ho wants. Knowing that
Mr. Downwoight usually has a column
or two in which to make known his
special bargains ho turns lo that page
to seo what is now in that line.
"Hellol" ho says to his family : "Mr.
Downwoight has stopped his advertiM
meutl Ho must bo gone out of bui
ness. Dut 1 seo hero Mr. Pullyunl
has two columns this week imiteud of
tho ono ho usually, has; nud otter
some downright good bargain.
Wo'vo never traded thoro before, but
seeing Mr. Downwoight has quit, we'll
try him tho next time wo go to town,
when tho rush is over." Thus he who
quits advertising losoa a eiutomer,
whilo ho who increases his space gains
one How mU' h better for the mer
chant to spend toim of his surplus
titu" in devising new and attractive
ndvi rti.M tnciits by which to draw at
tention, to lii.i business and making
pun' when the tide of trade begins
tiding, fh.it it will come his way. Ads
an noti(d and read moru by the
fanner during his busy time in sum
mer than when ho is able to go to
town two or three times a week and
the far-seeing business man will take
advantage o? this fact. When tho
rush start toward tho liberal advertis
er, who lnis attracted it during dull
time, it will take more than a sten
ciled board, stuck on a dusty fence, to
turn it.
Judok Dbady has rendered a decis
ion regarding public lands that is to
this effect : an entry and certificate is
nued to a settler under the homestead
act of land and subject to entry there
under, cannot be sot luidc or canceled
by tho land department on its own
motion for fraud or mistake commit
ted or occurring in obtaining or issu
ing it; in fuch cases the government
must eeck redress in the courts, whoro
the matter may be hoard and deter
mined according to the law applicable
to (lie rights of tho individuals under
like circumstances.
