DEC. 3, 1S9L Minnkapolis is the place where the sleskest of the high tariff steers will be chosen to bo slaughtered by tlin neonle in 1892. In other words ---- A the rcQublican national convention 4 will be held there. We see in the court proceedings of Grant county that D. I. Afibury, of the News, has got judgement against M. S Hellmau for $20,000 damages. No doubt the defendant has pronounced lils own name, vehemently, many times since then. The McKinley bill was made for the express purpose of keeping out foreign goods. In one of his late speeches McKinley states thaUhe United States has purchased more foreign goods in the last ten months than in any ten months before. A coufes-sion that his bill is a failure. The election for city officers will take place next Monday. There seems to bo no interest whatever taken in the matter. While the iEsucs that were prominent in some former eleclions are not present now. it behoves every citizen to take au interest and see that proper men are elected. An emer gency may arise and those arc the kind of men that would then be needed. The Dalls Chronicle says: Some of our exchanges are booming the HoHorables W. It. Ellis, A. S. Bennet and Henry lilackman of Eastern Oregon, and C. W. Fulton of Astoria for congressional honors from this district at the next June election Whatever the opinion is by the politi cians, Eastern Oregon must have either oho or the other, senator or representative. The inland empire must and will be heard. Uros reading the report of the Grand Jury last week Judge Fee made the remark in court that the jury had made somo good and sensible recommendations, but that former grand juries had made and recommeded the same but the county court had seen fit to ignore them, and that if the sheriff was not provided with a good and sufficient jail in which to keep his prisoners, ho should not be censured or held to account for escapes made therefrom. These are reasonable and sensible suggestions which the county court should take into t?rious consid eration. State School Superintendent Mc Elroy is in receipt of a letter from the department of liberal arts of the world's Columbian exposition, Hiking definite information relative to the work Oregon proioses to do for the world's fair in educational lines, and whether or not this state will make an exhibit, and if so, how much space it will require. Superintendent McElroy an Ewered, making application for 4000 square feet in tho building set apart for tho liberal arts. This space will be filled by exhibits from the public and pr ivate schools of the state. Au exec-. utive committee for tho state will soon be appointed, also a committee in each county who will work in conjunction with the county superintendents in Mcuring the best exhibit possible. Bynum, of Indiana, has withdrawn as a candidate for tho speakership in favor of Mills of Texas. He says : "I never preased my candidacy, and consented only to tho use cf my namo until it became evident the contest was nar rowed dowu between Mills nud Crisp. I shall heartily support Mills. While all of the candidates are strong tariff reformers, nono so prominently repre sents tho position of tho party on this question as Mills. Ho is known to the people as a prominent figure in tho house on this ouestiou, and his defeat would, in a great measure, bo accepted as an abandonment of the issue. Tariff is the issue ujkhj which wo must aim in 1S92, and there should be no sem blance of wavering or halting at this critical period. Unless the party stands iinuly and aggressively iu favor d this issue, tho farmers of the north west, who gavo u tuch sweeping victories in 1890, will become dUcour gd and may abandon a hope of u6m through the organizations of eur party," A BRITISH VIEW. The San Francisco Argonaut has had for several weeks past, the follow ing article printed in large caps at the head of its editorial columns: A British view of the American tariff. "The promoters of the McKinley tarlffmean It to pusn forward the roller of America for the Ameri cans. One method of realizing it was to keep all work within their own dominions. The country was to be made self-supplying: what could be produced at home was not to be bought abroad. That was the key-note of the McKin ley scheme, and it Is working out the idea of its designers wim me prrcision ana enecuveness of a machine." Sheffield Dally Telegraph. Evidently The Argonaut thinks the above extract from an English paper a correct statement of the working of the American tariff and a clinching argument in favor of the republican idea. We, also, believe tho statements to be correct, in the main, but think the conclusions to bo logically arrived at are so unfavorable to the high tariff idea that none but those blinded by party prejudice can fail to see them "The promoters of the McKinley tariff meant it to push forward the policv of America for Americans." Correct, from a McKinley standpoint, for by "Americans" is meant Ameri can millionaires, not the bone and sinew of the land, the farmers, artisans, tradesman and those who labor for their bread. While placing au un necessary burden upon these, for the support and further fattening of corpo rations and monopolists, no tariff is placed upon the importation of serfs and slavish laborers from the over crowded marts of foreign countries, "America for Americans!" How ludi crous the republican force would be if so much sorrow were not hid behind the scenes. "One method of realizing it was to keep all work within their own domin ions." Correct, even word of it. It means the importation of thousands of foreign laborers to compete with our countrymen, who are forced to work for home manufactureas and then to buy the goods thus manufactured at exoroitant prices. Most excellent idea for the American monopolist! "The country was to be made self supplying; what could bo produced at home was not to be bought abroad." Correct, again. A Chinese wall, so to speak, was to be built around the coun try, and the people put to work for their task masters and nothing was to bo bought abroad, except foreign labor, and that was to come in free of duty. Groat idea, that, and one that the American workingman will grasp at once and very eagerly ! "That was the key-note of the Mc Kinley scheme, and it is working out the idea of its designers with tho pre cision and effectiveness and effective ness of a machine." Correct again, very correct. The machine is in full operation now, kept in order with the money of millionaires and lubricated with the sweat of the poor! How long it will be permitted to run, we arc un ablo to say, but the signs of the times point toils utter destruction in 1S92. Heaven speed the day! We look upon the tariff question as the one great issue o tne tlay ami un in it is settled, otner issues must aj - pear unimportant in comparison The Scoit, true to its principles, will put forth what little influence it has for the correction of this infamv the tariff, and in doing so must, necessari ly, side with the democracy, for that organization is tho only oue in which tho hopes of the people can bo cen tered for immediate relief. When that issue is settled we may take issue with somo of the party's minor principles, but until then it seems to us that our work, and the work of every man who places patriotism above party, is plain. Notwithstanding the immense de mocratic victories last year on the tar iff issue, and though the party in the next congress will be largely in the majority, it will be powerless to act, for tho republican majority in the senate, backed by tho veto power of the execu tive can defeat the attempts of the democratic majority in the houso in any measures of relief they may un dertake. Tho people, however, have only to speak in 1892 as they did in 1SD0 and all will be well. A QUO I) LAW. The Astorian, speaking of the Aus tralian ballot laws, has the following to say; It is a good law, will have a wholesomo effect on our politics, and is disliked only by those with whoso nefarious designs it interferes. Our new law is fatal to tho hopes of men who profit only by discord, aud in days of doubt ; it affords no consola tion to K)litical strikers who take money on tho eve of election and for a higher bribe betray thoir followers to the opposition tho next day. To such as these their occupation is gone. The Australian ballot law which every right minded Astorian favors, distinct' y puts a stop to such former practice. Section 31 U the death knell of the peace clubs. No longer in Oregon can such clubs be organized, and the day of the political dictator is over. The sun has set forever ou the politi cal hopes of tho man who thinks he is bigger than his party, and who is desirous to destroy that which lw is unworthy to lead. This alone would commend it to the esteem of honest men, no matter what their form of political belief. THINGS WKI.I SAID. Never fix the price of anything so low that you can't afford to adversiie it. Circulars hit only once, if at all, and are then consigned to the waste basket. Don't advertise spasmodically keep at it. Your particular Hue of goods may not be wanted today; they will be sought tomorrow, or the day alter. Don't run the same card from Janu ary to December. Change occasion ally. Don't get into a rut; have some vim. People won't and can't guess that you have a good thing. success means thought. It costs no more to publish good matter than poor. Prepare your matter carefully ; make it attractive; don't crowd; let your catch lines be bold. There should be a point to eve.ry advertisement. State your point and stop right there. Don't keep on just to fill space. Judicious advertising Creates many a new business. Enlarges many an old business. Kevives many a dull business. Rescues many a failing business. Saves many a falling business. Preserves many a large business. He who in the world would rise, must either fall or advertise. Your atkertisement is your repre sentative. It need not be largo and imposing, but should be honest and respectful. Advertising is to business as a man well shod; without advertising a man will always plod. Advertising is an eloquent and ef fective salesman distinguished from the verbal salesman in this, that while the latter talks to one customer the advertising salesman is talking to tens, possibly hundreds of thousands. Courageous, intelligent, persistent advertising means the largest possible success in any particular line. Non-advertising means the limita tion of business to personal influence. Printer's Ink. We notice by tho Republican that the Giroux Amalgamator Co. vs. James it Parker "was tried here on a special venire." This is as much or more news to the court than any one else, as such a proceeding is not known to the law. If he had said that the case was tried upon a change of venue from Multno mah couuty, and that it was necessary to call a special venire to complete the jury, he would have stated facts and not disclosed his utter and almost inexcusable ignorance of court proceed ings, and of the laws of his couutry. A Possible Rival. A single track railroad is to be built from Seattle to Tacoma, which it is said is ultimately to be extended to Portland. Many advantages are claim ed for the road. There cannot possibly be any spreading of rails and tho ma chinery to operate the road is compara tively light. The locomotive is k?pt from toppling over on either side by an overhead guiding beam. Among tho advantages claimed for the system are speed and economy in transporta tion with reduced cost of construction and a great saving in the expence of grading and land damages; a large saving in friction in rounding curves, by the substitution of bicycle spindles for ordinary car wheel axles; greater safety and a greater saving in the cost of fuel. All these things and much more are claimed for the road. This is not Col. Mahana's single track railrord, but one that may prove a ri val. Weston Eagle, X Klcntmar.

In Memory of Harry Earrows. Harrison A. Barrows, oldest son of W. F. and Mary Barrows, was Iwrn near Halsey, Or., June 13, lSoti, and died near Sparta, Or., Nov. 11 , 1S91. He went to New Bridge about seven years ago and was engaged in business there until awhile before his death. In Aug., 1SS9, he was married to Miss Rhoda Tompson. Shortly after being married, he was taken with the typhoid fever, from which he never entirely recovered. He was moved to Sparta a few weeks before his death, in hojws he might recover, but with no avail, for the deatli angel had claimed him in spite of what physicians and kind friends could do. He was always honest in all his dealings and made many friends wherever he went, and will be sadly missed by them. The family circle had never been broken until death came and gently broke the tender threads of life of our dear brother Harry. He leaves a father, mother, several brothers and sisters, and a wife and small child to mourn his death. By his death they lose a dear son, a kind brother, and a loving husband and father. Yes the death an eel hath entered our door And cently broke the tender threads of life. Yes they have taken him to dwell with Jesus In that lovely home prepared for him on high. Wc know It was thy wish With dear ones here to stay; But we know that thou art happy now in that lovely home on high. Xo more we shall see thee, dear brother: No more we shall clasp that loving hand. No. not till our dear Shepherd Calls us home to unite with the band. Then stricken parents cease your weepinp, For we know he will wait and watch for us, And all whom he did love. Yes, he will meet us all in that everlasting home. Salem, Orejron. Bv x Sister. Kroiu La'j'aul t-ajetf Lx tisirE. t'es . 1c - n-.
