SPEECH OF flOX. JASES H. SLATER At Occidental Hall Last ETcnin?. Hon. Jas. H. Slater. United States sen ator from Oregon delivered a speech at Occidental Hall last evening to a largo and interested audience. He wns intro duced by A. A. Cleveland. Mr. Slater said: "Fellow-citizens of Clatsop ceunty: I meet you again after an absence of four years, to again address you on the polit ical issues of the day. 1'ho platforms alone, of the political parties are not enough. Look to their records. Plat forms sometimes aro made to conceal purposes. The records of parties aro the standards by which they are to be judged. In party relations I find that I cannot accord to the Republican the consideration I promptly accede to them as neighbors and friends." The speaker then drew the attention of the audience to tho personal charac teristics of the Democratic candidate. Grover Cleveland would be reco; nized by all as a man of more than ordinary abili ty; it was also conceded by all that ho was a man of sterling integrity. His offi cial record in the Empire state proved that. He had never held office under the United States government, but as a state official he had given evidence of states manship sufficient to ably fit him for the position of president of tho United States. Abraham Lincoln had not given beforo his election, any evidence of his great fitness for the exalted position to which he was raised by the suffrages of the Kepablicau party. It was a single sentenco of his when ho said "This coun try cannot remain half-freo and half slave," that made Lincoln the candidate of the Republican party in 1S60. In tho offices to which Cleveland has been elect ed ho has always discharged the duties of his position with credit to himself and benefit to his constituency. Scandals had been started; he knew nothing of them it was enough for the spsaker to know that Cleveland's neighbors in the city of Buffalo regardless of party, had aided in his election in that city and Erie county. There weroslandorsandscaudalson the other side. He neither knew nor cared anything about them cither, and alluded to them only because it seemed as though his Republican friends were straining at a Cleveland gnat and swallowing a Blaine camel. The Republican party was always glori fying itself. Its members claimed ah national prosperity as tho result of Re publican administration of public affairs. That party claimed that the increase in national prosperity was due to protection. The times since 18G0. taken as a whole, had prospered greatly, but there were other periods of national prosperity that shoula bo also noticed. Mr. Slater went on to show that in 1850 there were (J,O00,O(X),O00 of national wealth, and in 1SG0 it was SU.000,000,000. 23i par cent increase, and that there were no other ten years mi the history of the country that showed anything like an equal increase. In 1870 the wealth had increased to $39,000,000,000, or $26,000, 000,000 on a com basis, as estimated in currency. During the decade between 18G0 and 1870 had occurred a great war, disturbing values. During the decade between 1870 and 1SS0 the wealth in creased from ?2o.000,000,000 to $44,000, 000,000, or G2 per cent. The speaker claimed that manufactures had prospered better under a low tariff than a high tariff. There was no party in this country pledged to free trade; the Democratic doctrine was revenue reform; a tariff for revenue. Tho revenues of the country aro in excess of its needs, and a reduction of these revenues to a just pro portion to tho country's requirements is what the Democratic party endorse and maintain. It was no part of the pur poses of Democracy to restrict manu factures or manufacturers; the Demo cratic party would give full recognition to the rights and tho conditions that were essential to their prosperity. There was, however, a large and important class tho agricultural community whose in terests were not to bo ignored or neglected. The increase in the value of tho farms of tho United States was not what it should havo been, had a different stato of affairs obtained. The standard of per cent, was a just one to guago all these things by and this should show that the high tariff had not given the farmers the percentage of increase in aggregate wealth that it had given to the manufacturers. Tho Republican party claimed that high tariff gave a good homo markot. Tho export of the wheat product was always greater, de cade by decade; high tariffs were no pr6 voutative of hard times. We have hard times in the United States now, though the tariff was as high in this decade ab ever in the history of the country. The riots of 1877, did not come under a low tariff, nor had the riots of 1837, though the hard times of '37 were the natural re sult of wild, crazy speculation in western lands. The hard times of 1837 had been under a low tariff, but that also was oc casioned by speculation, but money was then among tho people. Now there was $403,000,000 in the treasury, and to that fact was due in a measure, tho Shard times now existing. The high tariff advocates promised high wages to employes, but the benefits of the system went to the manufacturer and not to the laborer. On that stand then if labor in Europe was twenty per cent, cheaper than in this country, then it would be fair to protect manufactures of that class twenty per cent, to offset the difference in the cost of production; more than that was unf air. In the great iron and steel industry this disproportion between what might bo set as a tariff and what actually was, showed how unfair ex isting conditions were regarding this branch of manufactures. American cap ital had protection; American labor had none. This was a gross wrong and one that could not uncomplainingly continue. This system tended to unequally distrib ute the wealth of tho country, and was building up a class that was detrimental to the best interests of the republic The Republican party claimed consid erable credit regarding the land system of tho United States. Tho homestead law was tho result of a public sentiment that had finally crystalized into a de mand for it, and would have been passed at that time no matter which party had been in power. That party had given away 193,000,000 acres of land to corpora tions. For the first seventy-five years of the country's history there had been but 31,000,000 acres of land. When forfeit ure of land grants were discussed in con gress the corporations had their repre sentatives on the floors of both houses. He had presented at the last session a bill from the Astoria chamber of com merce just as it had been sent to him, without dotting an "i" or crossing a "t". Oregon's representative in the lower house had changed tho bill sent to him. He could not tell the history of tho com mittee room; it would not bo proper for mm 10 ao so, out no congratulated the people that the bill was in good 'Shape, and would be brought to the attention of the senate just as soon as he could get it there. In relation to the over-lapping grant of tho N. P. R. B. Co., ho understood that by some arrangement that corporation was trying to sell lands on tho other sido of the river. It was his deliberate opin ion that the company had no possible pretense of claim to theso lands, and anv attempted sale by the company was en tirely without color of law. Ho thought that the remedy was in tho courts, in in dictments by grand juries, and it should bo attended to. In relation to Mormonism, he would say to his Republican friends that that system was in existence when the Repub lican party was born; that it had flour ished all these years ever since, and he would like to know why -it was that dur ing tho years of Republican power it had not suppressed or extirpated polygamy. On this he thought that Democrats were just as desirous to suppress Mormonism as Republicans were. It was a difficult question. He had voted for tho Ed munds bill under mental protest, because ho didn't want to have it surmised thnt ho was opposed to tho suppression of that institution. He thought that through the beneficent influence of education tho baneful effects of Mormonism could best bo subverted and overthrown. Returning to a discussion of the two candidates for the presidency. Senator Slater assured the audience that Grover Cleveland was a man that could be relied on; not to ba bribed or mado use of by base and shameless men. Of James G. Blaine it might bo asked could tho same be said. Had he not used his public office to advance private ends? Clevelsind had been criticised for vetoing tho 'five cent" bill; what would have been thought of him had he written afterwards to the president of that road calling attention to the fact of the veto and suggesting concerning some of the bonds of the road. The Mulligan letters were a dark page in Blaine's record and his course in de fending himself was, in tho mind of the speaker, the best proof that they weie all that Mulligan or Fisher claimed them to be. Senator Slater scored Blaine for his action in not appearing before the inves- iigaiing com m nice on iuonuay, giving us an excuse that he had a sunstroke on Sunday, and claimed that the Republican candidate for the presidency had only es caped investigation by being elected to the United States senate bv tho Maine legislature, adding that he should never nave accepted that nigh position until ne had demanded and compelled a full and complete investigation as to tho entire matter. He called to mind the hope of Mr. Blaine that these letters would be published by the Republican papers of tho country, yet ho believed that he nau not seen those letters published in any Republican newspaper in Oregon. As to the Ohio election, he claimed that Republicans had spent $800,000 and that Democrats had causa to congratu late themselvos on the result, for any thing less than 20,000 Republican major ity in Ohio was a Democratic victory, "boap" was used in Ohio as in Indiana in 1880. Ho claimed that the Republicans by perjury, stolo the presidency in 1870 and that the duty of all was so to vote that a repetition was impossible. Ho thought that no party ought to hold power for more than twolve years; that was long enough; no party should become pos sessed of dynastic power. Ho believed that the majority of the Republican party loved their country, and that they ought to consider well tho history of the parties and net as devoted patri ots. The speaker closed in a brief re view of civil service .reform and amid the utmost enthusiasm prophesied the election of Cleveland and Hendricks. Sonator Slater spoke for two hours and eighteen minutes in an earnest anu forciblo manner; he was continually in terrupted with loud and hearty applause. At the conclusion of his roraarks C. J. Trenchard proposed three cheers for Cleveland and Hendricks which wer. given with a will, and three moro for the speaker of tho evening. WANT OXB BlU KKXOVP.D. Several pilots wero down the Willam ette yesterday sounding on their own ac count. They found twenty feet at Swan Island, seventeen feet at Postofiico bar, and about ono foot less at the mouth of tho river all at zero of the guago. Tho river now is about three feet above low water mark. At tho mouth of tho river there is plenty cf water, except at one narrow ridge, probably not more than fifty feet wide. The government dredge is doing good work at Postofiico bar. and tho city dredge is just completing the work at Swan Island, viz: cutting tho channel at the foot of tho bar wider. This will bo dono at the end of the week. What the pilots want is that the city dredge go down to the mouth of tho river next week and cut through tho ono ridge. It will not take more than a week; perhaps four days will finish it. The pilots will make a formal request of the council committee on dredger for this aid to navigation. As the lowest stage of water often comes in November and December, there ought to bo no objection to granting the re quest. Vessels should not be obliged to lighter for ono little bar, which the city has the means of removing at small ex pense. Yesterday's Orcgonian. Manifestly RIdlculou. Philadelphia, Oct. 16. Tho Press says: Tho New York special dispatch re cently alleged to have been received from Portland, Oregon, stating that the United States court had decided that the Ieaso of the Oregon Railway and Navi gation Lino to the Northern Pacific must hold good, is manifestly ridiculous. The decision refers to the lease of tho Oregon railway by Villard. When he retired the directors repudiated the lease, on the ground that they had really no interest in the road, and that the lease was illegal, in which they wero sustained by the best legal opinion. An appeal will bo taken immediately from the Oregon court. The amount of tho lease, $140,000, is about one-half per cent." on tho Oregon Navigation capital stock. The Oregon and Transcontinental di rectors, who have been examining its affairs, have discovered that its entire indebtedness is about $10,000,000, which they think they can manage until an im provement on railway property and gen eral business enables them to put the company on its feet, by issuing trust bonds, based on its Oregon Navigation, Northern Pacific and other securities.

THE BOSS LIAB. "Don Carlo3,' who writes to tho Phila delphia EveniUg Star, is tho exceptional, phenomenal, monumental and palmary romancist of all who havo written about Oregon. Ho seems to Wo ambitious to tell stories that will distance competition and leavo nothing for future fabulists to tell. Hero aro a few extracts: "Off in tho distance, as we enter the harbor of Astoria, which i3 five miles from the mouth of tho Columbia, we get a grant view of Mount St. Helens, one of the snow-clad peaks of tho Cascades. I counted (at Astoria") 213 vessels, not one bearing our flag. They load with wheat, oats, flour, skins and" lumber, and hie them off to Europe and Asia with -thoir costly cargoes, to soon return again for more. Portland is a city of 70,000 in habitants, and is growing by the thoa sands monthly. Streets of houses are being constantly erected, and there is no idle hands here. Loafing and the tramp are unknown in that locality. Everybody is at work. Every ono is happy. The city is built on the river front, running back ten miles to the foothills of the Cas cades. These hills or sides of tho Cas cades are farmland or woodland. They are all used; no barren wastes, except here and there in the high snow clad mounts or inese cascades, and the people would rather hold their mounts than hills of gold. A'ortiand is to be one of the terminals of tl e Northern Pacific road. There aro five railroads running out of the city to points in Oregon nnd Wash ington territory. There aro steamboat linos up tho Willamette for a distance of 500 miles. We go up the Columbia river about fifteen miles and arc landed at Vancouver, a flourishing city of 10,000 people. When we arrived at tho Cascade falls we were transferred from tho boat to the cars nnd carried six miles nlon the shore, getting a splendid view of these falls that completely throw Niagara in the shade." There is much more, but this will suf fice to show that no future explorer can beat our "Don Carlos" Munchausen. CLIRK'S SUICIHK. G. H. Clark shot himself in the head last Thursday morning in the St. Charles hotel at Portland. The coroner was no tified and an inquest was held. Clark went to Portland from this city, having just been discharged from the hospital, where he had been for some time suffer ing from nn injury to his left leg, which he received on tho steamer Oregon. He did not havo any money, and it is thought ho killed himself from sheer despondency. It is known that he had money coming to him from the cast but it has not come yet. No letters were found on him with which to enable a clue to bo formed as to the whereabouts of his relatives. Claik was a well educated man and even when dead presented a refined appearance. It is said that ho was onco a classmate of Cyras G. Field. At the inquest Dr. Baker of this city testified that he recognized tho bodv as that of George H. Clarke, who was in jured about five months ago on the steamer Oregon, his left leg being broken. I set tho leg and had him under treat ment in tho hospital at Astoria for about six weeks or two months. Ho had about $250 in currency and a small amount of silver when ho was taken to tho hospital. Gave his age at CO; occupation, laborer. He said several times that if ho did not recover he would commit suicide. Had no letters at tho time of his entry in the hospital. Told mo at one timo that he had property in the east, but did not say where. Saw him last Thursday evening ind he told mo that ho expected money this week from the east. Mr. H. W.
