THE OREGON SCOUT. AMOS K. JONES EDITOR, City and County Official Paper. Thursday, Oct. 17th, 1889. THK TJtUK CAUSK. It i said by rcpublicim journals that tho tariff issue as niatlo by tlio democratic President Cleveland has inmicd to the benefit of the republi can party and lias made success cer tain for them in the new states. It may be truo in a degree that Clove land's tariff" policy, which has become the policy of the democratic party, resulted in the loss of many votes in the presidential election and had some thing to do with tho result in North and South Dakota, Washington and Montana. Hut in looking at the po litical situation, and reasoning from cause to effect, we must arrive- at tho conclusion that thcro is something moro potential at work in political forces than a feeling of prejudice on the part of the people against tho dem ocratic doctrine. For instance, we may take the farmer, and we find just as intelligent citizens in this class as any other and if we apply the rea soning aplicuble to his case we certain ly can find nothing in the democratic theory prejudicial to his interests. On tho contrary we find everything thcro that is beneficial to him. And why? Take tho argument of tho re publicans, that a high protective) tariff encourages the building up of niann facturics at homo, thereby furnishing tho farmer a homo market. Well, stipposo wo did not have a inanufact ury of any kind in tho United States, would thero bo any less people in the world to feed? Does a. protective tariff produco a stimulus in tho propagating of tho human race and thereby make moro mouths in tho world for tho farmer to feed? No. Would there not bo as many peoplo in tho world without a protective tariff as thero is with it? Yes. Does not tho farmer of tho United States havo to dopend on tho market of tho world for tho dis position of his produco and is not that market price fixed at Liverpool? From this reasoning it must bo concluded that tho farmer is not bonolited by a protective tariff which takos bushels of grain out of his granary to help main tain, in order to encourage, manufact uring industries which ho can got along without provided ho can trade his grain with tho Dritish for what he needs in tho lino of manufactured goods. So allowing tho farmer a suffi cient intelligence to carry on a busi ness of that kind and reason upon theso propositions, wo must say at onco that tho Cleveland theory is not against his interests. So thero must io some other reason why tho farmer is lending his vote to tho side of tho republican party instead of that of tho democratic party. Take the laboring class that make their living by days work, that do not owu.iv foot of t eal or any personal prop erty, havo only their hands and head to dig out a livlihood, how does tho republican theoty affect them. Here is their situation in a nut shell : Their employers will pay them just such wages as they seo fit and if tho laborer is not satisfied, or feels that his wages aro entirely inadequate to support himself and family, tho employer will say: "You can work under my em ploy at so much por day and if you aro not satisfied you can go; tho world is full of men, starving, who will work for mo on my termy." What is tho result? Tho man cither stays at star vation prices or is supplemented by an Italian, Scandinavian or other of Eu ropean pauper labor. Is this not a fact? It cannot bo successfully de nied. No kind of protection protects tho laboring man except a lock on Ameri can ports shutting out labor competi tion. Now then is it to tho interest of tho farmer or laboring man to ally himself with tho republican doctrine as against tho democratic? Will any farmer or laborer, viewing the nilua Hon intelligently, say lie is individu ally better off with a high tariff than ho is with iv low tariff? Ho cannot truthfully asbort it. Thou there must bo other reasons for republican suc cesses than tliu tarilf. What aro they? One of tho first is tho staunch support given by tho 0. A. II. and its influ ence. Tho U. A. It. was organized by men who had in viow tho perpetuation in power of tho republican party. Tho republican party has protended to bo a great friend to tho ex-boldiuis who fought successfully against tho confederacy. Consequently, on ac count of tho prejudice in favor of tho party in power at tho oloso of tho war and on account of their pretended friendship for tho ex-soldiers, tho (I. A. It. has been since its organization an ally of tho republican party. Tho G. ! A. It. man stubbornly adheres to liis ; old prejudice and abandons reason. ' Whatever delusive bait is held out j touching tho heart of tho G. A. H. man or his condition is eagerly bit at. ! Hence tho G. A. It. is almost solidly ! republican, for good or for bad. So ! far as the actual friendship for the ex- j soldier, a reference to the administnt- I Hon of Cleveland and a comparison ' with previous administrations will prove that democrats arc as true to I ,..., , t ,i t ....!. ! the interest of tho men who fought for! " the union as republicans. Enough for this. Another source of republican strength is the great monopolies of the country that have been fostered and built up under their peculiar policy. They furnish an iinmenso brain pow er and tho financial aid which is at this day and ago of this country the greatest factor in politics. Take the political funds from the hands of the political forces and tho change wrouglit in tho manipulations of schemers and oflicc-eeckors would sink tho party that favors the taxing of tho farmer, labor ing man and every other man who buys a cent's worth of manufactured articles, for tho purpose of filling the coffers of tho barons of this land of liberty, into the deepest depths of ob livion. civn. hkuvici:. Tho Orcgonian of tho 12th inst. pub lishes the comments of tho Philadel phia Press on an address of Georgo William Curtis, editor of Harper's Weekly, before tho National Civil Ser vice Keform J.cauge recently con vened at Philadelphia. In this ad dress Curtis refers to the civil service policy of President Harrison and con demns tho samo in his choicest lan guage. The Press thinks Mr. Curtis is doing a great offense to human jus tice in thus scorching Harrison while ho had only words of praiso for Clove land's civil eorvico policy. Up to 1884 Mr. Curtis had followd tho fortunes of tho republican party, but as ho had a high and pure notion of tho best inter ests of all tho people, ho deemed it. against these interests in him, or any ono else, to further tolerate what seemed to havo become tho settled doctrine of tho republican party in reforenco to tho civil service and the tariff. Ho accordingly repudiated tho party that ho helped to organize and allied himself with tho democrats who had so wisely put at the head of their ticket an honest and courageous man. Mr. Curtis has declared himself to bo in favor of any party, measure or pol icy as to him seems best calculated to preserve tho best interests of tho whole people. Mr. Curtis finds nothing to praiso in Harrison's civil service policy and justly condemns what ho finds to bo wrong and contrary to law and the pledges of tho president. Who is the better judge of tho policy of the presi dent, an independent man of pure and honest purpose, such as Mr. Curtis, or a rabid partisan, such as tho ediior of tho Press. ruosicmmoN ok ckimi: Tho law makes it tho duly "of tho prosecuting attorney to prosecute all offenders against tho laws and ho and his doputies aro violating tlioir oaths when they fail to bring parties to jus tice accused of offenses. It is certain ly a matter to bo deprecated when a prosecuting attorney, who has ab solute control of proceedings in justice of tho peace courts, will arbitrarily dismiss proceedings when tho parties accused acknowledge their guilt; and this kind of action can only be ac counted for by tho fact that a deputy prosecuting attornoy appears in de fense. That this thing has reeontly been done can bo proven by a refor enco to tho docket of a justice of tho peace of Union precinct and by con sulting with a reputable citizen of this city. Crimes and offenses against tho law aro becoming too numerous and need tho iron hands of tho law applied with such vigor as to operate as a strong in centive upon tho evil door to eeaso his transgressions. Tho winking at the violations of tho law by tho men in whom is reposed tho power of brinuing offenders to justice is to bo condoned, and tho men so doing will rueoive their just condemnation.
