The iJouth desires to advantage ltsellf of progress, to share In the nation's development, and It cannot hope to do that under a policy of a "tariff for rev enue only." That policy has struck at sugar and rice, coal and iron, and these products, agricultural and mineral, are so powerful that their ramifications extend throughout almost every state and Into banking and business circles. Protection is a policy too broad to be limited by sectional lines, and its advocates are too '.liberal. Just and generous to withhold its beneficent effects from any part or the country desirous of embracing the advantages of that policy. ' WHERE WAGES WHORE ADVlANCED, At last a genuine, undeniable and Im portant advance in wages has been an nounced. It Is an advance of from 10 per cent to 2254 per cent over the for mer rates, and Its 'benefits are enjoyed by a very large number of workmen, moreover, there Is explicit testimony the first of the kind o nrecord that this Increase was due directly to the enact ment of the Gorman-Wilson tariff. Hav ing said this much, It Is, of course, scarcely .necessary to add that the in crease has taken place on the othor side of the ocean, and that foreign and not American workmen are Its beneficiaries, These beneficiaries, to come down to details, are the emp.yes of the great tin plate trust Of Boutin Wales and Mon mouthshlre, In whose Interest the late , Democratic congress reduced the protec tion on tin plate from 2 cents per pound to 1 1-5 cents, and thereby afforded a most unexpected and most undesirable answer to the vexed question, "Who pays the duty?" These Welsh; monopolists had good reason to believe that they hail been paying It themselves, , and seeing their Amerlsan markets steadily drift away from them Into the Ibargaln, with the steady multiplication of competing American factories, they very natur ally set out, therefore, to pocket all of that cent a pound1 bonus whlclr the Cleve- lands and the Wilsons and the Germans and the Breckinrldges had kindly con ferrett upon them, but unfortunately their presumptious employes would not have It. Tiro workmen Informed the exultant Welid mlto bosses that there would bo a strike If they did not divide the swug. They demanded an Increase In wages, a , restoration to' the old 'figures of 1874, and as the Welsh' 'manufacturers are prudent men, who ibelleve In making hay while the sun shines, and tin plate while the duties are lbw, they got It. Significantly enough, at Just the same time, there was a change In wages in the tin plate industry on this side of the ocean, but It was In the other direction. It was downward. The 40 American tin plate mills which had grown up under the Increased MeKlnley duty found thcin ke.ives In a critical position when the vin dictive free trade-politicians took almost to a K of their protection away from them. Their managers saw that they must cither reduce the labor cost of their pro ducts or shut down their machinery and quit the business. They called their work men together and explained the situation to them. The workmen, like sens.blo men, taw that It wus a question ot lower wages or no wages, and accepted a reduction of from 10 to 20 per cent. Thus It haiipened that while wages were going up in Was they were going down In America. Mr. Cleveland's con pul at Cardiff has stated the facts In tho case, but he lias discreetly refrained from Offering any explanation. Nor, Indeed, Is any explanation noces.-ary. The facts speak for themselves. The parangs ot the Gorman-Wilson tarfft was the sole cause of the phenomenon. It Increased wages In Europe and reduced wages In America, precisely as the Republicans suld It would, Just as It had done In scores of other countries, and Just as such legis lation will do every time the American people permit a lot of .Incompetent or malignant law makers to get into, power In Washington, A recent London dlspultch says Col. Sic Farlane, former ald-de-camp to the late King Kalakaua, has Just arrived in Eng land. In an Interview, 'he said that he was Informed that a few Hawaiian poli ticians and merchants 'Who favored the old form of government would wait upon President Cleveland when congress r.s sembles, to urge the annexation of the Sandwich Islands. The primary lobjeet, he said, would bo to 'test the (sincerity of the officials of the Hawaiian republic. A large number of 'Americans, he remark ed, had Joined the Republican party in Hawaii, 'it being generally understood that the existing republic In the Sand wich Islands provided only for a tempor ary government, annexation to the Unit ed 'States to be Hater arranged. The present officials having been in office a year or more, no special effort had been made to attain this end. The Americans In Honolulu are dubious respecting the Intentions of the present Hawaiian repub lic, 'hence the rejected application to the United States government for annexation, Congressman Samuel' O. Hlliborn, of Cal ifornia, recently visited Honolulu, and Col. MoFarlano soya that he will urge In congress the necessity of sending a com mission for the purpose of studying the situation there. THE DREAMS. Two dreams came down to earth one night From the realm of mist and dow; One was a dream of the old, old days, And ono was a dream of the new. One was a dream of a t'liady lane That led to tho pickerel pond, Where the willows and rushes bowed t'helmselves To the brown old hills beyond. And the people that peopled the clJ-tlme dream Were pleasant and fair to see, And the dreamer he walked iwlth them again As often of old walked he. Oh, cool 'was the wind In the t'liady lane That tangled 'his curly hair! Oh, sweet was the music the robins made To springtime everywhere. Was It the -te wthe dream had brought Fro.n yonder -nldnlght skies, ' Or was It tears frc.-i the dear dread years That lay In the dt earner's eyes? The other dream ran fast and free, As the moon benignly shed Her golden grace on the smiling face In the little trundle bed. For 'twas a dream of times to come, Of the glorious noon of day, Of the summer that follows the careless spring When the child Is done with play. the historic Abtotaford, still occupied by the direct descendants of Sir Walter Scott.

I FRENCH VIEW OF WOMEN. The idea of completing the Panama Canal still haunts the minds cf t.he French. They have spent or been robbed of $220,000,000 In that region, and natural ly are slow to believe that this must be a total loss. Some engineers sav the Panama Cunal can be finished for 100,OCO,- 000, and others make the estimate as low as $20,000,000. Equally good, engineers re port that the Nicaragua Canal can be built 'for about $100,000,000. llut for this rival and better route the French, stock holders would nronnhlv raoamu In aplte of the stuDendous fail ures and mistakes that have beset fiiem on the Isthmus. In France, within two years, a bril liant young woman student was prevent ed by the hooting and yelling of her men fellow students from reading her thesis, anil later still tho essay of a very beau tiful ajid exceptionally gifted girl stu dent was commented on somewhat alter this fat'hlon by her French professor.

T ie -Itrlt- Ish board of trade reports thut the Brit ish exports to tho United States during ktho llwt six months of 1S33 -increased over the same period last year to the ex tent of Ej,9J,673, while the corresponding decrease In llrftlsh Imports from the United 'Staltes was 2,900,179. The change against the United tSates In the fix months was over $W,OO0,0U0. . No wonder Chairman Wilson's Sneeches were er- p.auded In London. IN'T ER-OA M 1-AIGN IObITI(.'S. The People Doing Nothing, but the Poli ticians Hustling. THE SOUTH NO LONGER SOLID. The South was not always "solid" not always Democratic. It was broken on the tariff question and will be again. Tlm-3 was when the South refused to he gai'J a "tariff for revenue only," as Its po.ltlcal Koran. A great upheaval, says the American Economist, reaching beyond the silver agitation, Is going on among a people who have passed through a fiery furnace that seems to have been required1 to make them even wiser, better and greater than they were before the war. Thirty years have sufficed to re move all old prejudices. Reconstruction is a thing of the past. The 'fear or "negro domination," which astute aspir ants for office so long held up as the "bogle" man to frighten and consolidate the people, has departed, and upon the apex of all this gwne and forgotten po- i rawing wood. Prominent p?ope are be- The East Oregonlan cays: "It la -iurlnit unci Intervals us the present that poli ticians do t'hclr Hnest work. The great American people are uttendlnir strictly to business. So are the politicians. They are mailing it their business to fix things so the votes will come their way w.u-n it ruins ballots later on. If unyona cares cent's worth for politics at suc:i a time s this, he, hy giving attention to t'ne trnws which ure Indicative of the wind's direction, ran tell soma of tho things which are bMng done. It Is yet e'ght monl'.is until Oregon people wuki up to begin ino hot campaign, 'but by that time many a local leader will be pledged to he support of aonu candidate, or at '.oust will have promised to Hind In with some combination who have ends to nerve. "The IWHl campaign in this state Is to bo a 'hot number.' P.eslde state, county and municipal bsues comes on the ra tional election. Oregon will elen a ful. set of county and city officers; a legis lature; state otllcers und congressmen; and the liglslature will choose a United States senator. JiiHt ut present the latter function is being figured on ehljlly. "It looks like Dolpli vs. Mitchell. Every thing points toward It. People who thought Mr. Dolph a d-ad duck, when de feated last winter, do not get on the Inside uf the campaign and reckon with out their host. Scarcely an Intimate friend of .1. N. DoltAi has been Inteivl-jweii during the lust few months but says Mr. Dolph wl.l be In tho field against United States Senator Mitchell. The Dolph- or gans have Mr. Mitchell on the black list, and Mi-. Dolph's na'me Is Inscribed on their memorandum 'books in letters ot gold. "H. F. Gulllxson, now a traveling sales man from Portland, was In the city Tues day, and wus Interviewed by this p.per. He Is an ardent supporter of Mr. Dolph. He was In tho next to the last legislature as a Multnomah representative. In the Inst ji-smIoii he k as n clerk and put In his best licks for the election of Mr. Dolph. Mr. Gu.llxson said: 'I relieve Mr. Dolph will be a candidate and thot the snuggle Is to be .between him and J. 11. Mitchell. Mi-. Dolph w.isi turned down, it Is true, but there were reasons not appearing on the surface, and I sin cerely believe now that the people of Ore gon see tneir mistake. Ho has friends who 'will ..vade through lire and water for him and when the time come -wU be on hand to do their duty.' "Mr. ilulllxson'a reasons for advoea-lng Mr. Dolph' election are the name as were given last winter. Dolph, said he, has a prestige -which no one else In Oregon has or can attain. Mr. Gulllx son also said that. In e-ase a Republican president Is elected, he believed Mr. Dolph would receive an appoint n -nt to the United States supreme court Justice ship, hut nevertheless would be In the senatorial fight to prove his Man ling and strength. "There Is very good reason to believe fiat the Dolph workers are not Idle In Umatilla county. They say nothing, a wise precaution, but arj industriously iitlr-al lore we And agricultural and niln era! development, and a commercial Im petus which -will, ere long, astonish the North and the whole world with Its effect and result When the issue of slavery came to dominate parties all else of politics and economics In the South departed, and for at least ' ten years before the war, sma ever since, those things which have frown out of It bave made the Soutn 'voli.l." There Is a breaking up In NortS Carolina. In South Carolina, in Louisiana, J". I.-.?-.-! ma. In Kentucky, In Tennessee, and th whole South Is on tho brink of tng talked with on the quiet and so far as possible, those who left the ranks during the last struggle are being swung Into line. They are doing their best to swing Umatilla county K -publicans for Mr. Dolph, and perhaps they'll do It." MY TIME TABLE. Sixty teconds make a minute. How much good can I do In It?

Disgust la not generally long tlved, The political outlook for this year is somewhat modified by the fact that Dem ocratic dlsguft was intense enough a year uso to defeat that party In the states where it had for years held almost unchallenged nway. That trait of (human nature which leads many men to tolerate after a time and at length to condone tho offenses that at first excite' the un most wrath has to be re.kon?d with this year, uh well as the felly of some who will accept reviving business as vindicat ing the 'tariff which Democrats' were kicked into passing. When an Incendiary Is caught on the premises,, and -by dint of revolver shots, induced to vanlBh with out finishing the destructive work, It Is not usually reckoned a vindication of the purposes and character of the tcamp If the property Is moE'tly raved. Men like Professor Wilson in the house and Sen tor Vest in the senate represented the great Democratic majority In both houses, which was not persuaded but flmply coerced Into abandonment (if Its Incen diary work; and yet 'there are men stupid enough to suppafe tho Demqcratlc policy "ntltled to credit for the results of its de feat. When to this 'foc'lshness -there is added the propensity cf men to forget their dis gust with their own party, it seems likely that majorities' this year may be smaller than In 1-01. The avalanche art that year was In part due to the rcifutra'l of Demo crats ti vote at all, and of the ;nen who could lift themselves no higher then than n negative and silent protest against the Infamies and follies uif their pnrty, some must bo expected bv t'hls time to have grown wondrous kind to its faults. With better business and wages the sense of Indignation loses par1; of Its personal t.Mimihis. But there are other causes which cperate this year aalift the Dem ocrats more effectively than In 1S9I. Ono of these Is the surrender of the treasury to a syndicate of banker, whose price for saving the country from the consequences of Democratic stupidity has not appeared foiall to the plain people. It Is very well for cupitills's Snd back ers to extol the wle'Jcm and skill of the Rothschilds and their associates-, but it w3'.l never be possible to persuade most American voters that the government hau any business to pay (12.0O0.d0n. more or lets, for p acing bonds which find eager buyers today nt over 21 per oent premium The favt t'hat this thlnar was done by i Democrntlc pirsMent while a Democratic congress was In session, and was neither Ftorped nor hlnde ed by the 'majority will settle the attitude of many voters. to the Democratic mrty for years to cr-me; hihI fii cause cf offensi has not fiily arisen si'iee the elections of lust fall but b(.n 1 rot in mind by monetary 'II? u.Hon.i and by the recent outgo of god. It Is sulllelently pnparent In Kentucky e'"i;t the Democrals are doomed to a heavy loss of votes whether they range themselves with Harris. Jones and Black burn, or follow after Cleveland and Car lisle. Attempts to find a middle ground of union In Kentucky hava failed and the ablest Democrats expct their ticket to be ttiMv bei'ten In I'hat state, but In oiaer Western and Southern States the tame differences exist and are produc Ing t'mllar effects. The seU iro of the Democratic machinery In some states by silver extremists repels thousands who bd leve In found money. Thesucce8 ot the 'administration and the olllce-ho'.deis In capturing conventions In other states drives thousands over to the Populists. It Ik not possible to say how far the disintegration may go, and, as Is usual In such cases, many may threaten who will In the end be drawn by party feel ing to submit, but a loss bf many, thous and votes to the Democrats on this ac count appears at present Inevitable. Last year's elections were a gre-it sur prise, even to the victors, for they had not anticipate so great triumph. The Rrpuri'lcans this year have taken It for granted that the Democrats would he atBe to cad tack a large proportion of their rtraglera and therefore have not. emu lated upon the exceptional majorities of 1SB4. But in quarters where industries have been most affected by the tariff, and In quarters iwhere the sliver contro versy has moft divided the Democratic Tarty. It Is possible that the results this year may again prove a surprise to all. Under the present management Ro mance .toadlly improves, and the Septem ter nit.T.'jer offers a goodly variety to Its readers. Among the best of the stories is 'To: Flowing Source," by Qulller Couch, who stands in the front rank of modern Eng'ish writers of fiction; and Jules Claretie, J. M.
