AN EYEOPENER.
The new tariff on wool as nroposed
will be abont 36 per cent, ad valorem,
instead of 100 per cent, as at present
This means a saving ot a few oents on a
suit ot clothes whiob a man will not bay
over twice s year st the outside. In lieu
oi this and to keep tip the expenses of
tbe government it is proposed to tax
sugar, ooffoe and many other things we do
not raioe and whioh must enter in every
day consumption of the people. That
plan followed will burden the masses
muoh worse than the so-called protect
ive tariff whioh has been tbe bone of
contention, and whioh under the present
system is a great saving to the people of
the United States annually.
The Portland Dispatoh, now that it
sees the "box" into which its party bu
gotten in its efforts to carry ont tariff ro
lerm, advocates an "inoome tax." That
is very good, but it is a late thing for tbe
dispatoh to advooate suob a measure. It
has followed in all manner of crooked
avenues to keep up with tbe Cleveland
procession, and has been euooessful, but
has not demonstrated bow this can be
done and Bave tbe masses the laboring
classes any money by "tariff reform."
An inoome tax is not an unjust mens
ure, and is growing in favor all oyer our
country. If the rioh will drag to their
capacious pockets millions of "unearned
increment," they oan well afford to pay
for the privilege, and at the same time
it will make tbe burdens that much less
on their less fortunate brethren.
TOO FRESH.
At the annual sohool meeting atHepp.
ner with Congressman Ellis in the chair,
a ten-mill tax fur school purposes was
uroniDtlv voted, notwithstanding the ille
gality of snob a proceeding. Heppner's
claim for the branch asylum is better es
tablished than moBt people have suspect
d. La Grande Ourooicle.
It is true that Heppner voted a ten
mill tax, as at that time the ooastruotion
of the law now put upon it was uukuown.
It's none ot tbe Chronicle's busiuess any
how, whether we prooeed legally or ille
gally in our local affairs. They are not
so "all-fired" wise over in La Grande thai
tbey nevtr make mistakes, the Cbroniole
not exceptod.
The editor of tbe East Oregonian dar
ing "off-years" when political campaigns
are not agitating the publio mind is a
reformer pure and simple; but when a
presidential canvass is being tongbt on
triot party lines be is always a simon
pure, bedrock, Jeffersonian and Jack
onian democrat. He is hi favor of the
iugle tax theory, ot civil service Joform,
nd of free silver; opposed to plutocracy,
railroad domination, and an admirer of
tbe populist's ides ot managing national
affairs. Btill he claims to be a democrat
"to the manor born." Bro. Jackson is
undoubtedly honest; but we have seri
ous doubts of his oousistenoy. T.-M.
Wilson 8. Bissili tbe postmaster,
general in Mr. Cleveland's new oabinet,
is tbe attorney for six different railroad
corporations. Mr, Olney has three New
England roads on his list for retainers,
Eoke Smith is attorney for two Georgia
railroads, and even little Dan Lament is
bank president. These are great days
tor "downing tbe corporations" and help-1
ing oat the common people.
It is said iniunotion proceedings will
be instituted whenever tbe governor,
secretary and treasurer may proceed as
provided under the general appropria
tion bill to purchase the stove foundry
at the state prison, for which purchase
the sum of $(!5,0&0 was appropriated
Section 6 of the jute mill bill is opposed
to the stove foundry Boheme. "After tbe
said jute mills are completed and put in
operation nothing but jute fabrics and
briok shall be manufactured in in tbe
state penitentiary; proyided, nothing in
this seotion shall be construed to prevent
the manufacture of any article designed
for exolusive use in the penitentiary.
SILVER MISSIONARY WOKK.
Satukdat. evening Cbas. H. Grove,
real estate agent of Portland, shot and
badly wounded Conard J. Smith, and
then shot himself through tbe head,
dying instantly. Tbe tragedy occared
right in tbe crowded streets. Grove
claimed that Smith had made an
sault on the person of his wife a few
years previous. This Smith denies, and
it is probable that Grove was insane,
perhaps from some other cause, and in
his hallucination, imagined himself
wronged by Smith.
TnK rhododendron is the State flower,
and the people of Washington will soon

izens of Fuyallup are buying them for a
trifle, vendors carrying them around
from door to door for sale. Not to know
the rhododendron will soon be tbe ac

The position of the New York, Boston
and Philadelphia press towards silver is
so sinister that it is impossible, so long
as those papers circulate as they do all
over the East, and refuse to give the
other side of the question any bearing, to
hope for any change in publio opinion
east of the Allegheny mountains. Al
most without exoeption they assume that
the fallin silver is due to over-production
and persistently keep from their readers
the fact that it is due to nothing but
legislation. Mors than thr.t, they keep
the minds ot their readers all tbe time
inflamed with the belief that the so-oalled
silver kings, that is the silver miners of
the West, are a dishonest orowd, intent
only on unloading upon them for a dollar
something which is intrinsically worth
only 67 cents. They keep from the people
tbe fact that silver and gold bave no in
trinsic value, and that all tbe value tbey
posses is what is made by tbe demand
for these metals, and that what has caused
a seeming fall in silver is due solely to
tbe taking away from tbe demand of the
Government for it as money. They ct.n
ceal from their readers the (not that tbe
purchasing power of silver has never
fallen at all. They try In ever con
oeivable way to explain to tbe people
why there baa been a fall in prices
throughout the country. Tbey charge
it to ovor-produotion, to tbe invention of
new machinery whioh enables producers
to bring to market various products
oheaper than tbey used to be delivered,
and continually howl about the some
thing awful that would succeed should
gold go to a premium. The fact that
gold is at a premium of 40 per oent now
is studiously conoealed. Their handling
of the question is almost irresistible proof
that the editorials are dictated from tbe
counting rooms, and that they find it to
their interest to work for those who, in
pressing and holding the gold standard
upon the United States are causing the
people of this country, tbe produoers, to
lose every year hundred of million of
dollars. It seems to us that the men of
the West ought to try by some concerted
aclion to get the facts of the oase put in
every bouse of tbe East. We do not
know how this can be done. We are not
certiiiu that tbe New York so-oalled
Metropolitan Press, the great papers like
the Times, the Tribune and the Herald
of New York, the Herald ot Boston and
the Press and Record of Philadelphia,
oould be induoed to publish the facts
even as an advertisement, but certain
t is that there ought to be some
means devised to get the real fuots about
silver into the homes of every farmer in
the East, into the bomeB of every
mechanic, into the homes generally of
every voter, so that when the next
opportunity shall be presented, it will be
in the power of the people to regulate
this matter,in their own sovereign way, in
spite of tbe concentrated efforts of the
gold ring and the gold press. Tbe
question is simple, a few convincing fuots
make up the case. If these could be
gathered togather and put in a little
pamphlet, and agents could be Bent East
to Bee that tbey were distributed gener
ally among the people, we believe it
would revolutionize the sentiment of all
the people east of the Allegheny Mount
ains. We know it would revolutionise
the sentiment of the people in the Miss
issippi Vulley.who are not yet quite cer
tain that it is honest to demand silver re-
monetization. People in tbe West are
qnite few compared with the hosts beyond
the Kocky mountains. Newspapers as a
rule in the United States only circulate
westward from their own offices. There
are ouly local exceptions to this rule,
that is, we presume the bulk ot the
Chicago papers are bought by people!
south, west aud north of Chicago. The
best customers are through Illinois, Iowa
Wisconsin aad Minnesota. In tbe same
way tbe Omaha papers hardly ever get
over the Missouri river, all their chief
custom is the same way west and south
aud north. Tbe same is true of the
Denver papers, they ouly oiroulate east
ward in Colorado, Of course, Tbe Salt
Luke Tribune is an exoeption, it circul
ates everywhere. Going to the Coast; the
great Oregonum hardly circulates beyond
the limits ot Oregon and Washington.
Ouly two papers in Sun Frnncisco are
hardly ever encouutered outside of Cali
fornia, and so it goes. The literature
of the West, is like the people of tbe
West, tbe tendency is never to return
East but to press on towards tbe setting
sun. Hence, no mutter what arguments
may be used for silver in the West, what
ever struggle people in the West may
make to have the claims of silver recog
nized, hardly any impress is made east
of tbe Kooky mountains by their work.
It Beems to us tbe men ot tbe West ought
to chauge this by prepnnug their argu
ment, then going to the Atlautio and
startiug those arguments west in the
natural oourse ot travel. This would
not cost very much. It is worth the
experiment.
