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

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.
