Dyspepsia is dreadful. Disordered
liver is misery. Indigestion is a foe
to good nature.
The human digestive apparatus is
one of the most complicated and
wonderful things in existeuce. It is
easily put out of order.
Greasy food, tough food, sloppy
food, bad cookery, mental worry, late
hours, irregular habits, and nany
other things which ought not to be,
have made the American people a na
tion of dyspeptics.
But Green's August Flower has
done a wonderful work in reforming
this sad business and making the
American people so healthy that they
can enjoy their meals and be happy.
Remember: No happiness without
health. But Greeu's August Flower

The secretary of the immigration
office estimates that $500,000 cash
capital was brought into the state
during October by immigrants. This
is based upon an estimated average
capital of $500 each for the families
reporting to tho- immigration office.
The immigrants not reporting, at
least half of the "whole number,' are
not taken into account. A banker
who has handled a large amount of
exchange informs us that during the
past year Oregon has gained by di
rect importation through immigra
tion, a sum greater than the aggre

AX AMERICAN PROTEST.
Against Tyranny 'an J Oppression.
Despite last evening's storm Ro3s'
opera house was filled with la'dies
tmd gentlemen gathered to hoar
some remarks against the adoption of
the prohibition amendment at the
polls to-day.
After tho Western Amateur band
had finely rendered some stirring
national airs, Wm. Allen briefly in
troduced Col. Harrington, of East
Portland.
Ho said: In this American gov
ernment laws are not made wholly by
the people direct They chose their
representatives and delegated the
lawmaking to them. Thus two or
three could and did often represent
an entire commonwealth.
But in this case it was directly
from the people sprang the law.
When we vote on this prohibition
amendment we vote upon the great
organic law of the state: wo resolve
ourselves, as it were, into a constitu
tional convention, and we meet here
to discuss constitutional questions,
their advisability their effect, just as
though we were delegates to a state
constitutional convention.
Is this proposed addition and
change in the state constitution in
harmony with the century honored
principles of our American govern-
men? The speaker thought not He
would quote solely from prohibition
writers and speakers to prove his
premises. Even prohibitionists ad
mitted that a man has a right to eat
and drink what he pleases, and that
it is no one's business but his own.
But by adopting this proposed amend
ment wo would prohibit him from
doing what everyone concedes he has
a right to do.
Man has certain rights that aro in
herent, that cannot be taken away
from him, without these rights he is
NOT A IIXS BUT A SDAVE.
Among these is tho right to exercise
his judgement It should be clearly
understood. Poweris always reaching
for more and Liberty, that birthright
of every American citizen, will be
taken away, under the insidions guise
of morality, reform and desired
change or innovation. But however
presented the desire of dominion and
tho curtailment of human rights is
tile same.
He cited the immortal breathings
of the Declaration of Independence
where its great author said: "We
hold it to bo a self evident truth
that man is endowed by his Creator
with certain inalienable rights: that
among these rights are life, liberty,
and the pursuit of happiness.' On
thi3 granite wasbuilt American free
dom; tho freedom which tho prohibi
tionist attacked.
He read from the platform of tho
Prohibitionist convention that nom
inated St. John for president. That
platform claimed to get its power to
govern from God. Man always bows
to his Creator, but no man derived
power to govern his fellow man by
Divine right. Tho "Divine right of
Kings" had .filled the air for centur
ies with tho groans and sufferings of
the outraged, the persecuted, the
helpleas victims of monarchs whoso
will was law, who claimed to be com
posed of finer clay than ordinary
mortals, and who held dominion on
the theory of Divine right.
Not on principles of humanity, but
by "Divine right" was all the cruelty
justified, all the despotism practiced
that stained with martyr's blood tho
page of human history. The right to
govern was not handed down from j
father to son "by Divine right." 1 litj i
very corner stone of American f roe
dom was that "all -government de
rives its just powers from the consent
of the governed." That is true Amer
ican doctrine, but that i3 what the
prohibitionists oppose and deny.
Which should Americans accent and
believe: tho Declaration of Independ
ence, or prohibition? In all ages
slavery and tyranny claimed Divine
right.
But prohibitionists say, "granted,
youjhave your just privileges, and no
one should take them away; but
some one else may abuse them, and
on that ground we want to take away
your privileges." What kind of rea
soning is tiis? To deny me my
rights because Borne one else may
nbuse his!
This goes between the citizen and
his conscience. This is" tyranny;
Whenever tho state or the church',
established by law and maintained
by persecution tries to curtail human
rights, such effort is despotism, and
should be frowned upon by freemen.
Our forefathers saw this and op
posed it. It is for us to carry on the
fight so well sustaine-tind bequeath
to our children the priceless boon of
popular liberty.
But Geo. Campbell of Kansas
CLASSED IiARCEN'Y AND SEIiIiIKO BEER
Together, and asked "why not license
larceny? Gen. Campbell with great
show of logic said that larceny was
prohibited amid the thunders of
Sanai. Gen. Campbell says wo pro
hibit murder. .We do not. Tho law
defines murder: it never had to be de
nounced or prohibited, and the law
enunciated on Sinai did but define it.
Murder was a crime before so de
fined on Sinai.
Man, continued the speaker is not
totally depraved. The good out
weighs the bad in the human heart.
As an instance he citedthe case of a
prominent prohibitionist in Kansas
whose two beloved children lying
sick he bought brandy for their re
lief. Arrested and the "crime"
proved by spies he confessed in court,
but the jury humanely discharged
him, refusing to make it a "crime"
for a man to try to save the two dear
children that God had blessed him
with.
But Gen. Campbell illustrated how
calloused the heart can become by
boastingly telling of a judge brow
beating a jury because of their re
fusal to convict, when in the no
bility of their manhood they refused
to send a man to jail for that which
deserved applause instead of punish
ment. Campbell had told trium
phantly of that -which should cause a
true American to blush with shame
that a judge should attempt to coerce
juries and witnesses and so far lower
his dignity arid transcend his au
thority to force "convictions because
he was a prohibitionist. '
Man is not' naturally a tattler,' a
spy, or a sneak, but prohibition trans
forms him into one. The speaker
told how evidence is extorted in
Kansas and other prohibition states,
and howjudges ana siienus went be
yond all reasonable rules or bounds
in concerted .efforts to make prisoners
confess and secure admissions and
damaging evidence. Gen. Campbell
had boasted of the young man in
Kansas, convicted and fined 'or sell
incr liquor and had claimed that it he
behaved himself during his term of
confinement ho would be allowed tbe
freedom of the county,
UXDEB OFFICIAIi SUPERVISION,
Liable at any moment to be sent
back. This, said the speaker, makes
convicts of citizens. The man in
such a position is a convict Do you
want such demoralized convict citi
zens in Oregon? Is that the building
ud of manhood, the timber to make a
state out of?
-Tho speaker then read extracts
from letters he had received from
prominent prohibitionists in Kansas,
acknowledging its failure, and showed
that Christ's precept "Do unto others
as ye would that others should do
unto you" and prohibition were op
Dosed. Ho read letters Jrom Gov,
Robinson, of Kansas, Gen. H, A.
Pierce, who under date of September
14th wrote him (Col. Harrington) that
though a temperance worker for 23
years he was sorry prohibition had
ever carried, that drunkenness had
increased, that in the one city of
Topeka, the sales in drug stores of
liquor "for medicinal purposes" was
30,000 in one month; that in his
county, in 18S0, (the year prohibition
passed), with a population of
8,000, two barrels of whisky were sold
in two saloons; now, after seven years
of prohibition, with a population of
10,000, there was CO barrels and 14
saloons; that society was affected per
niciously, that men were transformed
into spies and detectives; that he,
(Pierce) had worked and voted for
prohibition, and now'saw "his mistake.
Col. Harrington rdad 'from a letter
ho had received from the chief of po
lice of Leavenworth, Kansas, who
said under date of the 6th of last
month, that so far, in 1887, there
were 700 arrests for drunkenness in
that city of 40,000 people. He had
showed that letter to Col. Campbell,
while riding on the cars from Oregon
City to Portland, and Campbell had
not denied the number of arrests, but
claimed that the city's population
was only 30,000.
"Granted," said Col. Harrington,
"that there is but 30,000, it makes it
all tbe worse. An arrest of 700 men
for drunkenness in nine months in n
prohibition city of 30,000 people is a
worse showing than an arrest of that
number in a city of 40,000 people
would be."
The speaker then read from others,
Neal Dow, and prominent prohibi
tionists, and passed into statistics,
showing what prohibition had done
for Elaine in 36 years. While the in
crease of population was little the
increase in crime, insanity, pauper
dom, etc., was appalling.
In Portland, Maine, where pro
hibition is enforced, the arrests for
drunkenness in 1852 (when prohi
bition went into effect) was 297, (one
in seventy) in 18S2, after 30 years
prohibition, it was 1.351 (one in
twenty-five.) In St Louis, Mo., the
arrests in 18S2 were 1 in 78; three
times moro drunkenness in prohibi
tion Maine than in lfcensed Missouri.
The 'internal revenue reports
showed that in Arkansas, (a state
noted for its saloons) there was 1
to every 1,148 populatien: in Maine
(where prohibition is enforced) there
was l to every biy population.
The eloquent speaker closed his able
address with a grand peroration to
to Liberty, and said this election is a
test of our ability for self-government.
We are law making sovereigns,
and if we lose our liberty ours be the
blame. We can vote away our free
dom, and let our liberty slip
from us. Imprison a part of a man,
and he is a prisoner. Human liberty
is not divisible. It is for ns to soy
whether we
SHAIiI. BESLAVE OR FBEE.
Thunderous applause interspersed
his speech and marked its close.
After a brief interval of music by
the Western Amateur bund, Col.
Stevens delivered an able address,
to which time and space prevent more
than passing allusion.
Ho was followed by brief addresses
on the part ot.CL W. Fulton, Geo. No
land.'A. A. Cleveland, Mayor Trull
inger, X. N. Steeves, and O. J. Curtis,
and the large audience dispersed.
