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.

W. II. Mills, for many years mana
ger and editor of the Saeremento Ilec-ord-Union,
but now land agent of the
Southern Pacific Co., recently deliv
ered an address before the Northern
California Press Association in which
he said the following for tho country
press: "Now. the lural press differs
from that of the metropolis only in the
scope of its jurisdiction. Let us re
member the value ot property depends
largely njion the conditions of the civ
ilix.it inn uround it. Itecaid he could

inem met. l ins man minus up com
munities by hunting out human and
community needs, and applying rem
edies ; his bruin suggests what to do;
his energy (iocs it, or procuics it to be
done. He no more than puts a com
munity on its feet than hero comes a
new man to divide the field and take
from tho pioneer of good in that com
munity his chances to live by his hon
est labor as a journalist."
AVI II AVrttiriK Hcttoini; I.nst Art?
Wiil the coming man write? Not
at all. There will be no more need of
his learning to write than of his learn
ing to spin. Writing will havo be
come one of the lost arts, and a wholly
unnecessary art by the tune the time
the coming man appears. His writing
will bo done by tho phonograph,
which will be placed on his desk as
pens and ink are now; and whenever
he has a story, a poem, an es. ay, or a
private letter to indite, he will simply
talk into the phonograph and send on
the pinto which has recorded his words.
The teaching of penmanship will be
unknown in tho school of the future,
and writing in the present fashion will
ba regarded as much among barbaiio
methods as wo now hold tho rude
hieroglyphics of (lie ancients to be.
