lieecher and the Chinese.
We learr by the dispatches that IL
Ward Beecher saj-s we are in danger of
repeating toward the Chinese those er
rors we were guilty of toward the African.
"If," says Mr. Beecher, "this great and
civilized people cannot endure the con
tact and presence of the Mongolian race,
it is right that they should los their
religion, and their civilization, and their
rannted Christianity." The shaker then j
goes on in his undignified yet humor
ous strain to suggest that we go into
the business of swapping tbe heathen;
that we send some of ours to China and
supply their places with Chinese hea
thens. And so he gees on, not seeming
to comprehend that he is discussing a
purely industrial question from a semi
religious standpoint. The consequence
is, his arguments do not touch the
question. All he said has no more re
lation to the Chinese question, as it
presents itself to Oregouians, than it
Las to the Russo-Turkish war. The
question is not whether the christian
religion can stand the contact with
, heathenism, nor whether American civ
ilization can bear close comparison with
Asiatic civilization, but whether the
American laborer can compete with the
Chinese laborer without sinking from
the condition to which our civil zation
has raised him. All other aspect of
the Chinese question are as nothing
compared to this. '
When the Chinese come here as la
borers to pitch the man without fam
ily station or condition to support,
against the American working man,
with his ideas of rank in the classes of
society, the advantage is with the indi
vidual of the lower type of civilization.
The Chinese laborer can work for less
and live comfortably for less than the
American laborer, simply because his
civilization is lower. Necessity has com
pelled him to cut loose from responsi
bilities of all sorts and concentrate ail
his faculties to the task of supporting
himself. It follows that the American
laborer caunot compete with the Chi
nese without descending to their level.
Mr. Beecher's argument is that it is
tetter that Americans be reduced to the
social level of the Chinese than that the
latter should be prevented from landing
On our shores. In this Mr. Beecher
shows himself latheraman of theory
than of practice. In theory all men are
freo and equal in practice, individuals
aro permitted te create inequalities as
they can, and profit by them. The
Chinese are not objected to on account
of their morality, or rather lack of it.
nor on account of their religion or want
of it, but on purely industrial consid
erations because Americans feel that
it is better to ni antain the American
standard of compensation for labor, and
preserve our intelligent, aspiring and
well educated workiug classes, than to
lower the rates of labor to the Chinese
standard, and thus make inevitable their
methods of economy, accepting a civil
ization iu which men are compelled to
shirk responsibilities, and women live
by the sale of their bodies.
JJluc Glass.
The blue glass maoia did the rent ridt
part, but when it came to the conquer
ing it seems to have cLanged its mind.
It has had its day, and every one has
had his joke at its expense. We learn
from an exahange that for a time it was
the principal article of import on ocean
ships. Fuctories enlarged their work
ing faculties to produce it. Builders
had it inserted in the windows of their
dwellings. Beams of paper and gallons
of ink were dsed to extol its praises.
Tha press spoke of its virtues from one
end of the earth to the other. There
were but few people in fact who did
not believe it was going to become the
great panacea, and it is exceeding un
fortunate that their hopes should have
been so suddenly disappointed. It
has gone as clean ont of 6ight as the
"Fryer process" or "Keelar ruortor."
Those Oregon editors who had piec s
of this glass put where it would throw
its azure hue upon their massive brows
while inditing editorials to revolution
ize the world have lost faith in science
and are now greater skeptics tlian the
scientific men themselves. No more
blue glass in Oregon, if you please, the
clear white answers every purpose m
this region.
Silver.
Silver coin may now be obtained in
the East in even exchange for fractional
notes or currency without any other
trouble than sending currency in mul
tiples of one thousand dollars to the
U. S. Treasurer, Assistant Treasurer or
National Banking Depository. As sil
Ter is now at a discount of about 6ix
per cent, on gold, and as Government
proposes to redeem greenbacks in gold
in a year and half, the more currency
it works off for silver the better. Every
silver dollar, worth in light fractional
currency not more than 84 cents at the
present price of silver, that the Govern
ment can pay for a dollar in currency,
lessens by so much the volume of paper
to be redeemed in gold eighteen months
hence.
Northern Democrats are trying to
convince each other that the Southern
policy of the Administration will not
cost them the loss of a vote. That is
the reason, probably, why "Sunset"
Cox, Hewitt, and other sbinirjg lights
of the party visit the South, and beam
and talk and talk and lem against an
accomplished fratcraaliMtiop.
J '
it
The President's Policy.
It would be hard to imagine anything
more disheartening to the average poli
tician than the present unhappy condi
tion and disturbance of politics which
render it so difficult for the aforesaid
politician to trim his course. The cen
tre and pivot of all political action is
the President's policy; it is, in fact, the
only feature of the political field which
has any meaning, and yet it is absolutely
impossible to tell what opinion a pru
dent politician ought to hold who wants
to stand well with his party. The Pres
ident is warmly supported by the great
majority of Republicans, but not more
warmly than by the grsat majority of
the Democrats. This circumstance
ought to straighten the knees and stiffen
the backs of the timid; but on tbe other
hand there is a small and aggressive
Minority, of the Standard stripe, who
abuse the President as lustily as ever.
A good Democrat may well be excused
for wondering if that is not the true
Democratic camp from which such able
bodied and characteristie opposition
conies; and if one be a Republican, why,
there are Phillips and Chamberlain.
Wade and Packard, Blaine and the
Boston Methodists, who are disposed
to look on the President's policy as "a
league with death and a covenant with
hell."
This is a very distressing state of af
fairs, and what renders it all the more
distressing is that the unfeeling world
refuses to sympathise with the patriots
who are struggling about, wondering
on which side of the field their party is.
It is all in vain that the bravest among
them attempt to emulate thit benighted
Indian who, when asked if he was lost,
struck his bosom and said: "No, wig
wam lost; Indian here." Those among
them who insist that the party has gone
astray, and that they are still on the
true path, are obliged to ask themselves
what is the use of leading where nobody
follows, and to explain how it happens
that in sticking to the true path :hey
are keeping step with the worst class of
those w4um they regard as their worst
enemies ? Wendell Phillips finds him
self reinforced in his attacks on the
President by the New York Sun; Pack
ard cannot objugate more bitterly than
the Portland Standard; and if these ex
amples are types of the true party pol
icy, then true Republicanism looks very
much like true Democracy, or else true
Democracy has got to be about the
same thing as true Republicanism.
This sounds very absurd, but it is no
exaggeration of tbe true position of the
opposition to the President's policy
The Portland Standard, which opened
out all the resources of its blackguard
ism upon him as soon as he was nomin
ated, continues its attacks with the
hopeless imbecility c f a blue bottle fly
buzzing against a pane of glass, and its
vacuous immitators chirp iu feeble cho
rus. Phillips culls his Cabinet the
"slave hound" Cabinet; Chamberlain
tells the Republicans of South Carolina
(on tbe day before he opens his law
office in New York) that the President
abandons them; Packard, before step
ping from the Governor's chair to the
Collector's office, tells the Republicans
of Louisiana that the President who
owes his election to them has betrayed
ed them. If it is worth while to at
tempt to evolve some order out of this
confusion of opposition, we may say
that the Republicans who are op
posing thb President are playiug into
the hands of the fanatics of the Democ
racy who swear by Noltuer and bis
Stamford, for we may be very certain
that the followers of tbe Standard are
not going to render any service to that
portion of the Republican party which
is represented by Phillips, Blaine and
Wade at the North, and by Packard and
Chamberlain at tbe South.
This view of the situation may aot
give much consolation to the patriots
who are looking for their party, but it
does not matter very much. The great
majority of the American people refuse
to join in opposing the President's pol
icy, because such opposition comes from
blind and stupid fanaticism on one side,
and on the other from fears which may
never be realized, and also because they
have too much sense either to oppose
or approve a policy before they know
definitely what the policy is. Thus far
ttuy have only seen the spirit of it, and
this they approve because it is a spirit
of conciliation, of justice and of peace.
The only departures from strict political
precedent made by Hayes have been in
calling into his Cabinet a representative
Houtherner, and in refusing to exercise
doubtful powers in deciding disputed
elections in two States. In these in
stances he has rinen above partisan con
siderations, and w before censuring him
very severely for this we ought to wait
to see what consequences will follow.
In refusing to interfere in Louisiana
and South Carolina he has merely done
his duty, and cannot be held responsi
ble for the consequences; and in the
other matter we believe that this coun
try is strong enough to survive the un
usual innovation of a Democratic Par.
! master in a Republican Administration.
oo mat, as lar as the President's acts
are concerned, it is a great deal easier
to abase him than it is to make anv
more valid objections to him. But it
remains to bo seen whether he will have
so much courage in refusing the Deni
oeiaoy concessions, which it has no
rijrht to ask, as he has been in grantine
it favors which it had no reason to ex
pect. Making concessions to the Dem
ocracy is very much like playing with a
healthy tiger, and we never knew the
Democracy to get any powsr that it did
not make bad use of. Bat ti..

The "Mumps.
We have a fellow-feeling for the edi
tor who tries by all the seductive arts
of "words and wit" to produce some
thing worthy of other papers copying
only to find he has been throwing pearls
before swine; and sympathy for the
poor devil who calls on other papers
for their sentiment on a certain subject
only to be snubbed; but for the writer.
ho allows his desire to see his articles
copied carry him so far as to imagine
that papers that never heard of his
little sheet are stealing his ideas, we
have pothing but pity, such as is ex
tended to persons of uasoand mind.
We can readily imagine the outraged
feelings of the poor fellow in the pit
who cried out on the night of the first
performance f a certain play, in which
there was a storbi scene, "The author
has stolen my thunder," but the state
of tbe editor's mind, who labors under
the hallucination that his in fee nudity
has been robbed, is a sensation entirely
unappreciable. Not many moons ago
a certain paper had the sublime cheek,
the audacity and conceit to publish the
following: " -
"Our doughty tar, Dick Thompson,
has been interviewed by a New York
Ile'-ald correspondent on the question
of a new party, a movement foreshad
owed in tLe Standard two months ago,
and since taken up by the 1 lei aid as it?
own idea."
This could not have been intended
by the editor for sarcasm on himself,
for such imbecility would not be toler
ated in the editorial columns of any re
spectable paper. No, it must have
been vanity, pure and undefiled. Why
not accuse Homer of plagiarizing his
"winged words" from the same source
for that defunct epic master is just
about as likely to have stolen his fire
from the Portland atlas as the Herald
ideas from a vacuity ? Really some
thing ought to be done for a paper of
such prodigious conceit.
If there was any such things in ex
istence as Tilden bonds we would be
led to believe that the recent cock-and-bull
dispatches about the silly quo
warranto and about Sammy intending
to oust R. B. Hayes from the Presi
dential chair were sent for the purpose
of "bnlling" the market; but as such
worthless stock is not alloat the exact
object in sending such sensational bosh
across the wires is beyond our compre
hension, unless the facetious operator
wanted to create a little lame enthu
siasm among the almost dead De
mocracy. Letter from Alinota to the Walla

Great stores of provisions and ammuni

CAXCEU CAN BE CURED.
Cancer has from time immemorial been f
grejit scourge to t he human race and is now
becoming the greater. Kor many years it ha
been held by the medical rob-ssion, and gen
era ly believed by the ieo; le, that Cancer is
incurable; that once its roots take hold upon
a victim, there is no chance for a sufferer to
escape a ling- ring and terribledeath ; a death
siirround"d by all t hat is disgust ing and hr-
rime. not oniy to I tie siitr r -r, but to hi
triends. Happily this fell d st rover need no
.onger Ik lean d. Iir. II. T. Bond, of Phila
delphia, a well known hysician, of large cx-p-
rienee, has for four years devoted himself
tothf special study and treatment of Cancer,
and the result ol his e xperience is his dis
covi ry f r t he radical cure of Cancer, without
the ,lsf. ot jtM,.r kniie caustic or plasters,
and without pain
The majority of persons arc greatly deceived
in regard to the first s-in'toins and a pear
ance ot this most ureaded disease, considering
it i aintul Irom the commencement. This Is
a sad mistake, carrying thousands to an un
timely grave. In most cases then' is little or
no pain until the disease is far advanced.
Tlie only s m toms for many months, and
even for years, are occasic n'ally astinginc.
darting, stabbing, shooting, smarting, itch
ing, burning, crawling or creeping sensation,
and some cases not anv or these. If a
malady is growing worse instead of
better, it is conclusive evidence )t is of a
malignant character, and demands imme
diate attention. If you have a branny scaly,
warty appearance, with an occasional break
ing out of these upon the face, lip or nose, or
any other portion of the skin, attended with
any of the above svmptoms, oi a sensation of
a fly b'-ing on it, or a hair tickling it, is cer
tain evidence it is Cancer, and there should
Ik no delay in using Ir. Bond's treatment.
Iife is too valuable to be tampered with.
J 'r. IVmd's treatment consists of an "Anti
dote" that is applied locally : this at once ar
rests the growt b of the anccr. and by chemi
cal action neutralizes lis ma lien ity, render
ing it harmless and changing it to a simple
sore, which nature, assisted by constitutional
remedies, soon heals (when the skin is un
broken, ar.d t lie Cancer is a hard tumor, the
Antidote docs not make an open sore, but re
moves it by absorption! In connection with
the Antidote is used the Specific, taken in
ternally. This tones irp the general health,
strengthens the patient, purifies the blood,
and eliminates the poison from the system .
Ir. Bond's Antidote contains neither caustic
nor poison, and can be applied to the most
delicate fissnes of the body without Injury
and therefore is the only remedy that can be
used in Internal i ancer, such as cancer of the
stomach, cancer of th womb, etc. Ir. Bond'
remedfes, with full directions for successful
treatment will be sent to any part of tb
world.
