SALEM. FRIDAY. OCT. 29 A Tarn-Coat Answered. We receive the followina admirable re ply te tbe art idea lately published by Mr. Justin Cbenowvtk, in tbe Enterprise. Mr, C fcas teen a Eepnblican, bnt our readers most not confound bitn wifk Judge Cbeno- weth, of Cervallis. Silvkktox, Sept. 22. 18C9. Jlstin Chkxotveth My Dear Sir : Yonr letter, addressed 4i To My Hard Handed Bretbern in Toil." came to me, one of tb IL H. Bs through tbe columns of tbe EnievpriiK ; and tbe -reason which you gave for writing it also induces nie tp- reply. - You wiedi to influence soRebody. and therefore write and ptfbfisb a letter inform ing tbe Republicans f Oregon that you have left tbo farty and gotte over to the Democrats. Yen desire to influence some body. So-dol. T'e all desire to itrflueDce somebody, and we would would all feel wirrowtnl if mt thought we could influence nobody. American citizens should be watchful of the influences which are at work daily and hourly, some of them pro ducing good and otboTS evil results. X-si ris-VJo a t IjaAaence. Politicians understand and use success fully tbe individual and personal influences Now, we tmderstaud there is an influence generally oenceded to a public turn-coat. bnt the weight of tbe influence does' not depend so much upon the -coat, as upon the man who wears it- for Instance: When you or I turn our -coats, the effect is tri .fling, bnt when solid ,tnen of character font, then there is -danger of .others doing likewise. T wish, -however, that you could have the influence to turn menjf both po litical parties to Where they really and truly belong. Some men are badly mis placed. There are scores in the Republi can ranks that should go over to the Demo crats, and so many more of them should come over to us. Their influence would be thereby increased, and their peace op mind iu a -measure secured. Depend upon it, there is nothing like having one's soul in bis work i nothing so pleasant as pledging the heart and hand together in a good cause. On the other hand, what a humilia ting spectacle a politician presents with bis -body in one party and bis ecul in another. A pro-slavery Republican never amounts to much, and if there is an object on the earth that tally obtains my com miseration, it is that Republican whose dreams are broken by apparitions ; of bloated bondholders." Who Is always hearing the rattle of "Cutler's Silver Spoons," and seeing a Nigger or a China man in every fence. In this connection Sir, let me say, that your former political associates are not surprised at your change of place, as yoa hare exceded the term they allotted to you lor domtcil in the Republican camp ; so you have done more for the cause of Republican institutions than they supposed probable. Wk are the Working Men ? You say " tbe working men of the nation, by coalition and co-operation, can insure success to ilber'ooe of the great political parties, and' control its action while in power' Let me ask who are tbe working men ! Do yoa mean by ' working men" only those who make a living by hard labor ! Is there no work but 7iad worfc, in your estimation ? Has bead work fallen so low that yon refuse to reeogniee those who labor with the brain as entitled to tbe name of working men ! Wbo labor T Do not editors, printers, lawyers, doctors, preach ers, teachers, lecturers, merchants, artiste, engineer?, &c, &c? And although there are idlers in all tbe walks of lite, these work as many hours, and their labor ex hausts tbe vitality as much as mere bodily labor. . And why would you array tbe hand-worker acainst tbe head-worker? Their interests are not adverse. When tbe farmers and mechanic are prosperous, tbe editor's subscription list, is lengthened, the printer busy and happy, in tbe prospect of ready -: pay and permanent employment ; the lawyer's visage is relaxed ; the doctor smiling ; .the preacher hopeful and elo quent ; teachers attentive ; lecturers bril liant; and all os as merry as a mar riage bell." Don't you see that the hand workers, and the bead-workers can go along prosperously together ! Besides, as our in terests are identical, we hand-workers want the bead-workevs to think a little for our mutual benefit; therefore don't let ns differ. What Partr l"rora tie Laborer. Yau ay further, 44 goveraed by this idea, let ns enquire which of these parties, as now organized and acting, is most favora ble to ns as a class." I answer, " that par ty which does not operate for one class or another, bat for the general good." Sur-prfcnog- how soon a tna begins to talk about ciatiKs. and desire, caste or class legislation, alter be gets into the Demo cratic party ! if he really wants it, that is tbe place to go. Again, yoa say " we will ad the Republican' party nequivocally" committed to a demand lor cheap labor? With all defference to your opinion. I must prooonneo that assertion false. Does the passage of the eight hoar law by Congress look like it? Do the Republicans of an v State ' mean : cheap labor when tbev pass eight hour laws! Do they want anybody, black or white, to work for tea than b can afbrd The Republican doctrine, as I understand . K. is to live aad let live :" - Fair wpenau for all services," etc. eta ? I' would advise you to commit to memory, eve at Ibis late date, tbe whole of Abraham Lincoln's celebrated Uter ptejerbread v a V rfW. tViV.W I Mrs. 11. H.

On aoconnt of ta gold mines, which yielded to the laborer a tolerably sure prospect ot fron twotota dollars per day, but little faas been done, or could be done, towards opening aadmprocing farms. stHb1i9hin(r manufactures, bnildinjr bouses, yrojectiog railroads, Jcc. Jfcc. If we bad been nora nearly isolated from the agrknltnrat and manufactnrlng world, we couW have dom more, for then the price of agricultural products nd mannfactures wonld bave advanced with the price of la bor. Such was not the ase. tor while every man or woman coming here claimed and received a sum approximating the exagger ated ways of tbe gold miner, they were sup plied witk comparatively cheap food and clothing tkom the Island, tbe South Ameri can States, and our sister States East of the Rocky Mountains. Wages have been grad ually declining with the yield of surface or cheap gold, but now tbey are to high for the good of the 'Country too high even for the geod of the laborer. Manufactures and agriculture caunot afford it, und there fore the laborer is either unemployed or must take bis pick and pun and xtrike out prospecting for the precious metal.. whi;li is now a lather -urecarious. busings. Dut manufactures, to endure, must tare st.re laborj though agriculture manages to hob ble along with fitful labor, sometimes reap ing n profit, and at others, like the Irishman, "laying up a Iocs." Without pretending a solution of the labor question, I may safuly assert that it is not the interest of tliu la borer to ask more for his labor than the employer can make out of it, and also that it is bettor for t ho laborer to havu steady employment at remunerative wages than to be one Lall or more of the time idle. Now, the farmer pays twenty-five dollars per months for a short time during the planting geittson, and lorly dollars per month through harvest, averaging to tbe laborer some eighty or one hundred dollars per year, and at the same time it is to their mutual advan tage lo close a contract for continuous labor at from fifteen to eighteen dollars per month the year round. But our boys don't like the steady work. Tbey are too fond of gal loping Cayuse horses. We need more im migrants, working men and women, from the States, where there is a large surplus of laboring population and cheap wages as compared with Oregon. It would b for the general good. Tbe Republicans want it ; the Democrats want it. No wonder our people are anxious to employ Chinese, Indians. Kanakas, any body, to start our State torward into line of progress with the-other States of the Un'un ; and this too with no disregard or disrespect to the "Ilard llauded Brethren in Toil" any where on the Globe. Protection of nance Indoalrr. I am glad to know that you recognize the Republican party as the protector of Home Industry, and I would indeed be rejoiced if you could "perceive where the benefit to the laborer comes in ;" when the farmer raises most and makes tbe most profit, he hires most and gives tiro best wages. Ex actly so with the manufacturer. Then the "benefit comes in" wben tbe producer and con8niner are placed side by side in tbe country, and the cost of transportation is saved in the pockets of ach respectively. A well regulated tariff tends to produce this state of things. 1'rotection builds up home manufactures, thereby saving the money in the country ; diversifies industry and gives us a home market, which is gen erally tbe best in the world. If I am tA feed tbe man wbo clothes me. I can make more clear cash, if I am not obliged to pay for carrying his victuals one-half or one fourth way lound the globe in order to reach bis mouth., Those nearest to market sell most and get the best price. Is it not best to have manufactories in Oregon, at least for home wants ? How many bushels of potatoes, turnips, parsnips, onions, beansa green apples, pears, plums, cherries how many heads of cabbage, could you sell our operatives if thev were making cloth for us in , England or Fraucey instead of Oregon City, Salem, Brownsville, or Ashland, in this State? Don't you believe that the Or egon people are making more money when they buy home-made cloth nt one dollar and twenty-five cents per yard, and pay m the bulky products of Ihe soil, than when they send a gold dollar to Europe, for a yard of the same quality of goods? Remember, that it does not always or generally -make so much difference about the price of an article as the things we give inexebange for it 1. 1., tbe ability to sell a'.l tbe products of tbe fatm at living rates. Ccoamercinl Relatione. Your fears seem to have "got the better of you' when you penned the sentence ar raigning the Republican party,' for con demning us all to "work alongside the most degraded class of Chinamen, creatures of human form merely, that have been taught in the stern school of necessity," Ac, &c. This is genuine Democratic clap-trap. 1 "hp United States Government, under all admin istrations, has striven to. foster advantage ous commercial relations with China, and to secure this end, treaties of amity and com merce have been entered into, both by Re publicans and Democrats one under Jumes Buchanan, the other nnder Andy Johnson and I presume from the general approval, that the people of tbe United States, irre spective of party, desire to have an equal opportunity with tbe other great nations to trade with China. Wll. we have the trade and tbe Chinese, too, but whether for good or for evil, I do not see why you should praise or blame tbe Republican party alone. True, tbe Democrats on this Coast deride, abuse and kill the Chinese immigrants (which the Republicans do not), bnt that does not indicate tbe voice ef the National Democracy, if there be such a thing. The Democrats on the other side of tbe Rocky mountains are forming societies to solicit Chinese immigration, ana tnereny seenre .heap labor ; Democrats here employ tbem ia their houses, shops' and factories. Be cause Democrats in Oregon nnd California mob Chinamen; and the little local papers biss on the mob, is no indication at all of what their platform will be on that subject Democrats couldn't live without abusing, beating and killing Negroes. Chinamen, or Indians. Why what would they do without mobs or Ku-Klux-Klans? That is the way they work off their surplus democracy. WTio could deprive them of their accustom ed pastimes?. The Democratic candidates for office abuse Chinese, "tbe rabbfc howl and vote tbe regular ticket, and when tbe candidates are elected, they cat with tbe Chinese merchants, drink toasts to their success, and inform their constituents that "John" must be protected according to treaty stipulations. So it goes at each elec tion, "j'-' fv - J;- The Labor Qneationi This Is the Democratic stock in trade. The rabble give the votes and the Chinese supply the whisky ! Out upon the man who would interfere with such a profitable pro gramme! Don't you do !t." I said that Republicans and Democrats alike employ the Chinese, that tbe ,Demo cratio Woolen Factory at Oregon City em ploys them, and all tbe others will do so if money can be made by t3ti operation. Tbe old trick of buying where yoa can buy the cheapest, and employing the man who will do the same work for the least pay, does not belong especially in any party or in any church ; its a kind of human failing. This Chinese question is a new thing with us, and it is not fully known whether their presence will prove ultimately benefi cial or prejudicial to tbe interests of the American people. -John" is here building railroads, digging ditches, and working cheap mines (in the rm.in). doing what we so much desire,' without supplanting our own citizens as yet. Wouldn't it be a slight stretch cf the imagination to say that we, the people of Oregon and California, have been damaged by the Chinese wbo have worKea tor us ; there w Uemocrutic au thority for saying thatlhey are industrious, temperate and inoffensive, and as a further necessity of 'their condition,' wVbmitting quietly toHhe 1nws and .paying their annual tax'iS.- While I have no antipathy to fheml would look with considerable distrust at t'jeir cominf in great numbers, -and I have .bat confidence in the American people and their fit representative, the glorious Repub lican party, that w henever tbe real interests of the American laborers seem to require the exclusion, or other muagement.-of the Chinese, that matter will be attended to properly. "Protect ion to home industry" is Repttblican -doctrine. Aint you sorry that yon left tbe only party that can and will protect the "Hard Handed brethren?" The Democratic party believes in free trade. and if any man building a house prefers to hire a Chinese carpenter forhalf price, and turn you off, why it's all right. Jf they should come here in countless thousands and reduce wages to five dollars per month in your trade, it's all right nnd Democratic. Aint that free trade for you? Don't you see? Swing your jack-plane and band-saw for the Democracy. Who are the Hopek-M Toiler? But, Sir, that portion of .your letter com mencing : " I entreat you ! my fellows in thankless, hoperess toil." Oh! ob!! don't Sir ! For Heaven's sake spare our feel ings ! Such an entreaty, coming from you. affects me like contemplating tbe grave of asnicide. How my beart-?tringquiver and snapi Why. I didn't kifcw there was any mi;h, since we emancipated the slaves. Where are tbey ? You should know. Is if "Xo, the poor Indian?"

Every idea that is started and attains any prominence, immediately resolves itseif into a mania. Imitativeness is tbe ruling propensity of human nature'and no sooner does one make a hit in any department or walk of life, than the whole world seem bent on outdoing bim in bis own'particular line; and. in short, everything has a tendency to "run itself into the ground." Tbe culminating point of one mania has just been reached, at least it looks so from our stand point, in a prop osition to build a monument to no less noted a character than the founder of the human race ! Dr. Charles Rogers ot England pro poses to form a company to be styled The Grand International Monument Association having for its objective point the erection of a monument that shall be worthy of so well known and widely related a person age. The difficulty that might occur to less practical persons, that is, our uncertainty as to the most appropriate spot for such a memorial, is readily overcome by naming a spot "somewhere in Mesopotamia." Ot bis reasons for this rather startling' proposition. Dr. R. says be wishes " to wipe away the stigma long attached to humanity for having left tbe memory of the first hero in its history a man whose name, fame actions, death and spiritual inflaence are constantly on our lips without commemo rative stone to tell the stranger ,who could appreciate it, what he had done." The N. Y. World suggests that a penny from each of the thousand million descend ants of our venerated ancestor would be a sufficient sum. A penny is quite easily given, and how Insignificant compared with the satisaction such a proof of filial affec tion must be to old Adam, to say nothing of tbe parties engaged in. so laudable an enterprise. Sale mite at Srattlk. From the Commer cial we learn that tbe Hev. John F, Damon, of this place, who is a print as well as a preach er, has accepted a " call" to preside over "The Plymouth Congregational Society of Seattle." He left Salem in bad health, bat we hope the northern sea air will agree with him physically and pecuniarily. a r at. M No Rs' CM 1 a r v i L v More Suggestions. En. SAiTEtOUN : U In looking over " some suggestions" in regard to award of premiums at the Uu Fair, I find them as incomplete as were "some of the articles enumerated in Classes 9 and 10. I sincerely agree that it is ad visable to adopt "a more perfect system." und I lu not -object to tbe enforcement of xisttag laws, but I do not wish to see the existence of rules assumed when tbey do not exist. It is claimed that the Committee exceeded their powers ; but how could they avoid paying attention to article re ceived by the entry clerk, and how could oven the officer " who has the good of the Society" so much' at beart. dare to ignore the unrestricted promise, made in the - note" appended to Classes 9 and 10, which distinctly says that articles " not mentioned will be allowed similar premi ums to those in tbe above list?" It seems to me that the note referred to gave au thority to those Committees to exercise all the " powers" tbey assumed in assigning premiums to articles not distinctly named in the premium list. Infallible officers, Clerks. Committees &., would be desirable in the operations of a State Fair, but they re not easily found, and I respectfully Mibui'U to the fault finders, that any fault ' that exists may po.-tfibly be jji''t!y due to the fuct that officers did not understand nil the rules, nnticipe and torewe nil cir cumstances that uiiiiht .arise, and fully in struct the Cummith-e.-t siccinliiily.

Rather than stop tbe good work suppose you split the difference." Why Womeit aee Precious. It has long been known that 'distance lends enchantment to the view,' and on this ground alone some writers have sensibly advised women who wish, to be valued highly to ' make themselves scarce. But the effect of literal rcarcity on tin's article- has been first elaborated iu the Westmini:- , ter Review for October, which sfwws that women have more influence and higher standing in proportion as men exceed them in number. It gives tbe following singular illustration, if it may be called such. 'At one time a r woman could hardly walk through the streets of San Francisco without ' having every one pause to gaze on her ; and a child was so rare that once at a theater in the same city where a woman had taken her infant, when it began to cry, just as tlte or chestra began to play, stjinau in the '- pit cried out, 'Stop those fiddles, and . let iie baby cry. I bav'nt beard such a sound ibr ten years !' The audience applauded this sentiment ; the orchestra stopped, and the baby continued its petformance amid un bounded enthusiasm. , A borrowed tool, if broken, should be replaced by a new one.

That Hasty Pudding. Some students in one of our colleges being frequently annoyed by the nocturnal and inquisitorial vis ts of a Professor, who suspected them of playing cards, one evening prepared a kettle of mush, otherwise called hasty pudding, and by the time it was boiled, had seated themselves around the table in the attitude ot card-playing, waiting pa tiently for the well-known step of the Professor. It was no sooner heard than a large outside pocket ot one of them was filled with hasty pudding, and all were seated as before. As oon as the Professor had opened the door, the student who was loaded with the mush made a sudden sweep over the table with his hands, as if to gath er up the cards, and with another mo tion apparently put them into the pocket containing the mush. The movements could not help beiug no ticed,,as they were intended to be, by the Professor, who, regarding them as pretty etrong evidence of guilt, broke out with the following : Well, young gentlemor, I've caught you at last, have I !' 'Why, yes, sir, we are all here.' So 1 Bee you are, and you have been playing cards, too.' 'No. sir, it is not so. 'It isn't, ha ! What have you got in your pocket, young man V Hot hasty pudding, sir.'

A strange accident such an oue as we have never heard of before, and never may again occurred at the hotel in Ashland, last Sunday. At bedtime Mr. Shepard retired to his room, pulled off his coat and shook it; when some portion of the garment struck a pin, that had been stuck in the wall and threw it with such force as to stick itone eighth ofaninchdeep into the pupil of his eye, just in ihe edge of the sight. Mr. Shepard had to hold the eye ball with one hand while he jerked the pin out with the other, and by the time he reached the sitting room the eye-ball was entirely covered with a bloody film, and the sight gone. It is feared that the af flicted eye will always remain blind. Dr. Plummcr, of this place, was call ed tq treat the case. Jacksonville Xetcs. The custom of burning widows ia India revives the moment British rule relaxes.
