THE OREGON SCOUT. Till! HITCT KAILKOAT). MJl'I.D 'iHfc: TKKi: THANK TICKIJT. AMOS K. JONES EDITOIt, City and County Official Paper. Thursday, Oct. 31st, 1881). KDITOKIAI. NOTKS. How do our republican friends ac count for the fact that wherever the Australian ballot system has been put into effect and a fair vole taken, great democratic gains have been the result? Mr. G. W. Hunt, president of th- O. it W. T. Railroad, will meet our pi opl to-day for the purpose of taking into consideration tlio matter of LxU udi;itf The Northern racific is building a lino through Canada to directly com pete with tho Canadian Pacific. "Wherever there ia n demand for a rail road tho Northern Pacific seems ready to build it. Tin: postmaster-general has desig nated "Wash." as tho abbreviation of Washington. It doesn't sound quite as esthetic as could bo wished by the average native, but still if Mr. Wanna maker insists on Washing them they will have to put up with it. Last Friday was tho day fixed by tho Seventh-Day Advcntists for tho end of tho world and a universal shak ing tip of things. There seems, how ever, to have been tome kind of a jntcli in tho business and the enter tainment has been postponed. Thk La Grande papers have put in circulation tho statement that their post-ollico handles mail for 1(5,000 peo ple. About one-sixteenth of this is tho truth, tho remainder pure falsehood. That, however, is about the relative proportion of truth and wind that has been blown, at intervals, during the past six months, from tho "kcy-liole." Tho Ilarrisburc Patriot says: The' "Aim man workingmcn" in the Con ii" tkttt manufacturing towns have given their opinion of the tariff tax by tho road to this city. It is a matter of voting the straight "free trade demo- ' vital importance to tho future welfare cratic ticket," as it was called by the ' and prosperity of our town and county republican monopolists. That such j and should have tho undivided atttn- "an unlooked-for action" on the part tion of ovcry citizen. On account of of our protected?) workingmcn should the delay in bringing tho business to a sit heavily on tho stomachs of the tar-. final settlement, Mr. Hunt will ask for : iff champions is not strange for with I an extension of time in which to com- I all their cunning they appear to have plclo tho road, and in consideration of i forgotten tlmt this is an age in which such time being granted him, will j even a workingman can read, study m s : s n i i a n is s v .exm WORTH OK GOOD Trains nruvc il ti.y. a- ,. i, u L.liov t from (Dion commence building the road, at this i and reflect. To close observers it has end of the line, early next spring, forsomc lime been patent that in the which will be a great benefit to our opinion of wage-workers the protective farmers and business men throughout j tariff, so-railed, is but a high-rounding tho valley who will bo called upon to i name for the meanest kind of a swin furnish him with the supplies neeossa- j die. They know it is for them but a ry for Ins men. While the completion i wage-absorber, a trust builder, a cun of the road will be delayed one season ' ningly devised and well executed it will also delay tho payment of the j sehoino for plundering the many for subsidy an equal length of time, which j the benefit of tho few. They know it has not "rilled tho dinner pail" as was predicted ; they know that tho defeat of Grovor Cleveland has closed facto ries and lowered wages; they know that the smirking scoundrel who gave them the tarifi'-pny-onvolopcs has not spokon to them since tho November r.

Ouif friend Prof. F. K. Ilafford, of Milton, advertises for three sacks of cats, and offers a liberal pristo therefor. Ho desires them ''to make chemical experiments with, in the interests of science and instruction of his pupils in chemistry." If tho Prof, will come over to Union ho will find a buffering people who aro anxious to advance tho interests of science on tho lines marked out by him and ho will bo furnished with forty or fifty sacks of cats free of charge. Tho more ex haustive and far-reaching his research es aio the better it will please us. A Now York dispatch says: "Tho Brooklyn Tabernacle, Dr. Talmago's church, was destroyed by tiro last week. Tho loss is estimated at $1.10, 000, covered by insurance." This will do a surprise to many as it was gen orally behoved that Tahnago and tho Deity were on uuoli intimate terms that u dilliculty of this kind was not likely to occur between them ; und wo still incline to tho belief, inasmuch as the building was insured, that tho con- ilagration was meant moro as a re ninuier to tlio wiokcu insurance com pany than aB u snub to Drothor Tal mage. Wi: aro in receipt of a letter from li. G. Kibbler, written from New York, enclosing a nowspapor article by 1 I'', Ellinwood, secretary of tho Hoard of Foroign Missions, wherein ho roplius to and refutes tho published statements niado by Lieut. Woods, that tho for eign missions wore useless and doing no good. Mr. Klliinvood's argument and tho testimony ho furnishes from various sources M'om to ho conclusive that tho missions aro doing good work. Wo cannot comply with tho request to publish tho article, as it would take about tliroo columns of Tun Srarr to do so, and our spaco is limited. Wo cm only express regret at our inabili ty, at this time, to accomodate an old friend and subscriber. Thk Astoria Pioneer says: "Secretary Ulainu favors a tariff re duction or revision and hopes to mjo tho next congress take it up and maku such changes as seem necessary. Wo aro pleased to note this disposition, Thotariirin many particulars hhould bo revised. Many of tho luxuries, which in no wise coino in competition with American products, aro ridicu lously low." Tho natural deduction to bo made from tho above is: If tlio many arti cles above alluded to wero not luxu ries and did como in competition with American products, thoy would not bo "ridiculously low." Tho Pioneer man's idoas of the tariff question seem to bo extremely limited, and it is needless to Bay ho is a republican and evidently relies greatly on that colossal humbug, Jim lllaine. If a protective tariff is needed on anything (which It is not) it would certainly bo on articles of necessity in tho manufacture of which our American laborers have to com pete. A "revision" of tho tariff Is much to bo hoped for, but tlio people do not look to Jim Hlaiiio or the re publican parly to do it. will ccrtninly make it better for us in view of tho particularly dry season we have just experienced. We will not be called upon to make the final pay ment on tho subsidy for three years. In tlio meantime wo may confidently expect a series of wot and prosperous seasons, and with the added impetus that the building of the railroad will give us, wo will have plenty with which to pay tho subsidy. In fact we will hardly feel such a demand on our resources. NcVcr, porhaps, in the annals of rail road building',' was a fairer proposition offered to a peoplo nor one which offers such unparalleled benefits. Consider it for a moment: Wo are not asked to pay one cent till tho road is built and in complete running oider, and then a payment of only one-half the amount is required. After the . first paymont a year's time, from that date, is given for the payment of the other half Avhich draws interest at ten per cent, during tho year. Tlio road binds itself to transport our produce to tide water on Pugct .Sound at tho same rate that competing lines take it to Portland. That means an increased prico to tho farmer of from four to ton cents on ovcry bushel of wheat he raises, and an an increaso in tho same ratio on every other kind of produce. This increase alono would agregato to tho producers of Union county an enormous sum each year. Again, tho railroad property that would be brought into this county, by tho timo tho last payment of tho subsidy is made, will have rofunded to the coun ty, in taxes, almost tho amount givou by tlio people. To make it still easier for tlio subscribers, wheat will bo tak en in payment of tho subsidy at fifty cents per bushel, or at the market price if it is moro than that. It now remains for tho people of Union county to decide whether thoy will havo this road, and reap Iho bene fits that will bo derived from it, or not. Thoy havo already decided that it is necessary to their welfare and made up tho subsidy required to secure it. Now to make tho thing . curtain and finally adjust tho viholo business it will bo necessary for oauh'and every ono to como forward and sign bis iiamo to a paper granting to Mr. Hunt (lie extension of time nuked for. Will any man refuse to do this? We think not. Uy no process of reasoning; or array ing of tho facts in tho ease could ho justify himself in doing so. No man who has an interest in tlio welfare of tho county can afford to sit down and let things take their own course. One of two conditions awaila us. To se cure this now road moans release from tho exactions and tribute laid upon us by the 0. IL & N. Co. It means sharp railroad competition, reduced rates on exports and imports, and a free open outlet to all tho markets of tho world, It means an inllux of im migration and capital, increased value of property, decreased taxation, a thriving, united county and a proper nus people. On tho oilier hand, to settle back into tho old ruta and con clude that wo don't need this road menus continued bondage to an un scrupulous monopoly and more tribute to tho money lords. It mean the re moval of tho county seat to a remote corner of tho county, by the votes of hired repeaters, trumps and loafers. It means tho loss of tho southern por tion of tho county containing our most fertile valleys and rioliott mines. It means the building; of a hundred thousand dollar court house, burden some taxation, local dissontious, hatred and mUrulo. Such are tho results tlmt must fol low, as wo iiot,'ono way or the other. Wo are called upon to deride. Which shall it bo? election ; thoy know that all who favor a tariff for monopoly vote the same party ticket, whatever their professed politics, and are on the lookout for the flesh pots of Egypt and not for tho benefit of workingmcn. Having been intimidated at tho polls; threatened with discharge by their tarifl'-fed employers if they dared to vote as thoy thought right, they have until now acted with their ene mies; but, thanks to a secret ballot, all slavery to the political striker and tlio impoiious factory lord has been abolished, with this result that tho manufacturing centers of old Con necticut, always strongly republican, have gone democratic. This is a very good beginning ; but it is nothing to the political awaken ing which shall shako Pennsylvania when the Australian ballot system will havo become a law in this state. Keep the reform ball rolling. Thk Hummcrville Annotator for tho past few wcelc8 has had nothing to say concerning tlio Hunt road, and has not even announced tho appointments made by Mr. Hunt to meet the people of Suminervflle and Elgin. If the An notator ever had a chance to work for tho benefit of its constituents and itself, it is at .this time. Why it should fail to take advantage of its opportunities is a conundrum. Caution!
