Tonjrue, dellvvrtHl be fore the state republican cluU la Portland last week, as reported In the Oregonian next day. Being Introduced by Vice-President Beekman, Mr. Tongue aaid: "Ontltmen 'of tht Convention : "We meet under circumstances that are peculiar and unusual to us. Since the birth of the party, whose fortune we have followed, and whose principle we have advocated, It Is the first time republicans of Ore gon huve ansombled In formal con vention while tho federal govern ment was under tho complete con trol of the democratic party. It I ul true that we havo never aeui liled together when we hud so little else to do; whim we could le o con veniently spared from our daily avo cations, and when our pockets were so completely empty as at tho pres ent time. There is but one Indus trial organisation of the entire North west the occupation of whoe mem bers has not been seriously disturbed. I refer to the A. O. C. W. Ancient Order of Chair Warmers. Among our other misfortunes, our political principles debar us from inemberNhlp In that venerable association. "The Industrial condition of the nation today Is as unusual and strange as the political complexion of Its rulers. We have been accus tomed In our assemblage, heretofore, to point to our magnificent Industrial growth, the almost universal dif fusion of the comforts of life, the In telligence, the hnpplncs and the prosperity of our people, and to pro claim them to tho world as the benif icent results of free institutions under republican control. Today there 1j not a civilized nation In the world where there Is so much depreciation of property, so many willing hands un employed; bo much business depres sion, uncertainty and tilMtress, hs In our own republic. There is no acci dent In thexotwo peculiar conditions. The political and Industrial change have come together; they wulk hand In hand; they are the cause and ef fect. They nre as Inseparable as the Siamese twins. As they have come together, so will they disappear to gether; the sin no funeral knell will mark the death of both. These same inseparable companions, with their blighting influence, have visited us before. They came then together, and disappeared together. "The year preceding the cis ' ar should havo lieeii the goldendays' of the republlcf American floii, j veil ed abundant harvests,- War and famine In Europe creuted an unprecedented demand at unex ampled prices. The sh jres of the Pa cific slope then first became golden, and rich mines poured their precious treasures at tho feet of hardy pio neers. Then every part of the gov ernment was administered by demo crats, upon democratic principles. Uuder a fiscal policy that encouraged unrestricted commerce, the surrender of our markets to foreign competition, and the buying where we could buy the cheapest, all these vast treasures of food and gold were poured into the lap of Europe. The condition of the country necessarily resulting from such a policy, long carried out, was fittingly described in the last mes sage of President Buchanan to a dem ocratic congress. It was a story of ruined industries, unemployed labor, capital unremuneratcd, deserted fac tories, insufficient and Insecure cir culation. "History has repeated Itself. In the midst of industrial prosperity never equaled, and of which the fathers of the republic never dreamed, there is a change in the political complexion of tin? govern ment. Every department becomes democratic. When, lo! the old story Is retold and tho old scenes re enacted. The shouts of victory had not diet! away when there were rumbling presages of coming disast ers. Ilotfi America and Europe showed a decided conviction of the administration of this government, upon the policy marked out by the democratic party, would not brluir prosperity to the republic. Europe an money left us like rats leaving a sinking ship; enterprise ceased; fright ened capital fled from the haunts of of men; labor became unemployed; the creditor, the tax gather and the sheriff took undisputed possession of the land. "In less than a year President Geveland, In his first message to congress, describes tha condition of the country In the language of his democratic predecessors. In that meMiige he talks of 'our alarming and extraordinary business situation'; 'our unfortunate financial plight.' 'With plentous crops, with abundant promises of remunerative production and manufactures, with unuslal in vitation to safe Investment, and with satisfactory assurance to business enterprise, suddenly financial dis trusts and fear have sprung op on every side. Numerous monetary Institutions have suspended because abundant assets were not immediate ly available to meet the demands of frightened dc stitors. Iam and falluro have invudod every Lrum-h of business.' Whilo tho lilp of state was sailing In amooth waters, under cloudless akles, freighted with rich treasures ana Lappy soul, pros perous breezes filling every sail, new commander Is at the helm; new hands man the sails. A turn of the wheel and tho noble ship bounds toward new seas. Soon the skies are overcast, the storm gathers, furious winds rend the sails, angry waves lash the frightened vessel, and ruin ami destruction threaten alike all on tsjurd. Contract this short but ruin ous reign of democracy, with the public career of the republican party. It assumed control of tho nation when its business Interests were pros tinted, Its treasury bankrupt, Its credit destroyed, and treason threat ened the nation's life. Under its bcnlflceut administration, led by Mncoln and Seward, and Morton, Andrew and Orant, eace was re- 'ored. Even In those dark days of civil war, the country liegan a cureer of unexampled prosperity. Then En gland's manufactures exceeded ours bybne-half. In 1S91 the. manufHC ill red products of the United States exceeded thoseof England and France combined. Then tho wealth of Enjr land was double ours. In 30 years of republican control ours had in creased four times, and exceeded that of England by f20,OoO,000,(MK). With but few railroads In IStiO, we now have more than all Euroiio, and enough tn wrap the earth seven times at the equator. Under the the McKlnley act our Importation of agricultural products was decreasing at the rate of 1100,000,000 a year left that much more money to lie distributed among American farmers while our exports were 1134.217, 220 more than our Importations. our currency, rr.nn aoout f7 per capita, of which about one-half was shlnplasters, grew until It excm! $25 ier capita, every dollar of which is ns goc.d as gold. From a confed eracy half slave and half free, the republican party constructed a na tion of free men that could bid defi ance to all the monarchies of the Old World. There was not a son where was not seen the white wings of American commerce. There .was not a"spot so remote that the stars and stripes did not protect and shield the citizens of this republic. In a few snort months the democratic party, with its genius for destruction, has changed ull this. It has blighted ouh prosperity nt home, itnd our prestige ahrotid has so declined that a Dile can defy a Cleveland. Under republican control we conducted the most expensive war in modern his tory, diminished the public debt by hundreds of millions, fostered public enterprises, Improved rivers and harbors, paid liberal pensions to the nation's defenders, had abundant funds for the expenses of the govern ment, maintained the reserve intact, and yet the federal tax-gatherer did not Impose unjust restrictions on any man's business or Impede the Indus trial growth of any section of the country. Now the treasury is bank rupt, the surplus Is disappearing, and our rivers and harlmrs will be unimproved. New taxes are to be imposed while, like his democratic predecessors, the president is seeking to borrow money to pay his own sal ary. And this is not all. The pres. Ident of the United States is not con tent with the ruin he has wrought at home. This modern Alexander, seeking new lands to desolate, Is reaching out and attempting to lay his destructive hands upon a friendly people struggling to le free, lie has given us the unusual spectacle of the chief magistrate of a free republic using the prestige of his great posi tion to suhjoct the liberty-loving sons of revolutionary sires to the rule of a dissolute, cruel and Ignorant queen. We are confronted with another peculiar condition. While husiness is paralyzed, labor unemployed, creditors pressing and the sher iff active, idlo money has con gested In business centers to an unasual degree. It Is estimated that In New York City alone there Is over l.'OO.OOO.iVH) of idle money. And this vast amount of treasure, so necessary to the business health of the country, Is waiting the beck and bid of a democratic congress to take wings and fly uway aud bless the people of other lands. At the signal of Professor Wilson and his free trade partner in devastation it will ru-h to Nova Scot in to buy free coal from presidential favorites. It will be sent to Canada and Mexico to purchase livestock and farm pro ducts, and to STvin, Bulgaria and Italy for free fruit; to Australia and South America for fn wool, and to European countries for manufactured products. "In the middle of this condition, a convention of democratic clubs mH t In Oregon, and In its resolutions rec ommends the enactment of such laws as shall provide a more equal di-tri-butionof the wealth of the,country. If It wants Its advice heeded and its recommendations enacted Into laws, let it recommend its democratic as sis'latcs in congress to take their murderous grasp from the throat of the business of the country; to ceusr to throttle struggling enterprise; bid the people resume their accu tomed business as heretofore. Then confidence will be restored; this vast treasure Jwill seek Investment In every part of the land; enterprise will spring up; labor will bo eni' ployed. Like the Injection of new blood to a convalescent patient; like copious showers to parched lands, it will bo diffused to every section of our common country. "But we nre engaged In Illustrating an old story. The nation took It wealth and went Into partnership svl'h t lif democracy. When the partnership terminates, we may have less wealth but more experience, Formerly, our only weapons for cam paign use were arguments. We have now, In addition, recent history and demonstration. Then we could prophesy the baleful Influence of democratic doctrines; now actual trial has clinched our arguments. Events of tho past few months, taken In connection with th previous ef fects of Its policy, have conclusively demonstrated that the' democratic party ennnot successfully administer this government. Their most cher ished theories have been excised to light and demolished by facts. They have been heretofore tenderly solicit ous for the welfare of the consumer, The country now understands In a way It had not understood before that, except the wealthy few, the great mass of tho people are more producers than consumers; that It is as Important to protect the welfare of the producer as the consumer. The (Minions of, especially, one section of the country that free raw materia? will go hand In hand with protected manufacturers Is being rapidly dis pelled. They now rrallee, as they have not realized befom, that If manufacturers Join hands with free traders and give free raw material, producers of raw material will oln hands with free traders and give free manufactured products. We mus' have equal protection to all, or none, Th" delulon that we can buy cheap and sell dear, that by some peculiar process we can reduce the price of all wo buy and maintain the price of all we sell Is also being rtlslled e can now comtretien1, as we have never Iwfore i-omprehended the philosophy of cheapness. We now know what a cheap coat, so dear to d. moeracy, means. It means cheaper lntr . for the herder w ho grows the wool, cheap labor for tl man who weaves the cloth, low pay for tho man who makes the coat and equally low jay to the man who wears It. We have found that If we buy cheap we must sell cheap, and that In tho race for cheapness the cheapest thing of all Is human toil. We have found that the great effect of cheapness Is to Increase the value and purchasing power of money and thereby add to the wealth of the rich and the poverty of the poor. But our democratic friends are going to take care of the poor man. They may take away his market and the demand for his labor, may cheapen the price of all he does and all he sells, but they are going to compensate him for all this. They are going to give him cheap steel rails, cheap champagne and cheap diamonds. "Oregon hasespoclal cause to arouse herself In opp isltlon to the new style of tariff reform Not content with reserving unconstitutional pro tection for the exclusive use of the eastern manufacturer, the rice plant er, the grower of tropical fruits and few other favorites, the democratic majority In congress have especially attacked tho Interests of the great West. Before the passage of the McKlnley bill wo Imported vast quantities of that class of t lie live stock and farm products that can be produced abundantly In Oregon. Fifty to one hundred thousand head of cattle were annually Imported, while our own ranges were filled with unsold herds. Sixty thousand head of horxsi, half million sheep, hay, vegetables, dairy produce, eggs and other farm products were im ported annually to the value of mil lions of dollars. The passage of the McKinley bill curtailed the impor tation of these products to the extent of f lOO.iNio.ooO the first year, giving that much more to the American farmer. The VUon bill propot-e to restore the old conditions and fjriher to cripple the mining Indus try by free lead. Our heMs will be profitless, our fliks without value, our mini's unworked, our m.ignlfl c nt forests as hi much waste lands, and our growiu fruit industries will fa destroyed, and the men now en gaged in these Industries will grow more wheat for a falling market. "But I must not dwell longer. There are better days before us. There are rifts In the clouds and through them we see the I Izht. The old Bay stare Is no longer ruled l.y a i democratic governor and has cwtssl to run after strange gods. Even New York, from which do good was gods. Even hoped, Is bursting her bonds, Is breaking her old Idols, and Is elect ing republican congressmen from democratic districts. Iowa has re turned to her first love and Is herself again, and Ohio Is reaching out to take the hands of the Oregon delega tion to the last national republican convention, and has nominated for the next president of the United Suites that true patriot, that magnifi cent statesman, that Idol of our people, William McKlnley, by 90,000 majority. And Oregon w l'l do her duty. Six years ago our fair young state defeated tho Mills bill, aroiiMsJ the drooping courage of the republi cans East, West, North and South, and maile possible the election of I'nxl'lciit Harrison. Now we must seal the fate of tho Wilson bill, elect tho trst republican mem bers of the next congress aud pave tho way for the election or William McKlnley as the next presi dent of tho United State. And when election day is over and our brethern In other states are anxiously awaiting returns from 'Where rolls the Oregon,' let tltero U no sound save the shout of republican triumph and the tramp of republican hosts inarching to victory." THE (JKK.HtX CHEMICAL TKtllE. A report on the German chemical trade is abstracted in a late number of Kuhlow's. In this abstract, after mentioning tho uninterrupted (level opment of the trade in general and the special activity In disinfectants due to the cholera, it said: Profits did not, however, quite keep pace with the increased turn over; the finance of the chemical in dustries is, in fact, daily becoming a more difficult problem In conse quence of the ever increasing home and foreign competition. It la to be desired that arrangements may be mado with other countries by means of which the difficulties arising from high imKrt duties may be removed The McKinley bill had a greater influence in 1892 than in the forego ing year. Its continuance Induced the Americana to commence the manufacture of many articles, for themselves which they had previous. ly Imported, and consequently the export ol (Jtrinun goods to tin Uuiicd Slater, fell off ill a correspond ing degree. The effect of this heavy lax was to prevent the export of the article und thus lo depress ihe home price, which gradually fell during the en tiro year. . . . Theexpori to tho United States of America bus maintained its old level, since the coloring mutters iu question are only slightly Or not at all ulfetad by the regulations of the McKlnley bill. This abstract, it will be noticed, Is in the main a very fair sort of a pro tectionist document, showing that the McKinley bill has led to Increased productive employment in this eoun try and that tho foreign producer lias paid the duty. Kuhlow's, whose leaning to free trade has been fre- piently noticed Iu these columns, does not cease its protectionist le.vHin with a notice of falling prices through increased competition, but it is kind enough to give us the following for the advantage of the free raw mater ial cranks "lo our midst," viz: It must be pointed out that the color manufacture has suffered from the numerous syndicates and unions to which to many suppliers of raw materluli belong. This is the attitude taken ,by tho syndicates for alum, alumina, Prussian blue and chro mium suits. Salt and alkalies are syndicates in England, hence it was morally certain that the duties on these commodities would be reduced. Will tho syndicates for alum, alumina, Prussia blue and chromium suits also get In their fine work and secure a reduction for their "free raw materials'."' In the meantime, we shall have the satisfaction of knowing that the routs in all foreign Industries w ill have a better chance to keep pace with tho Increased turnover, aud that the home price In foreign countries will m maintained. If we watch further we shall also we that wages will not follow the Increased profits of the masters abroad. Spaugh is advts-ating the loaning of money by the government to farmers for 2 per cent. If the gov- rnmeut loans It to farmers at that rate it must loan it to all, or it would be carrying on class legisla tion, which the populists are oppos ing. Supso it was to loan money at 2 per cent., d(s anyone think it would not ris-piire gmsl security to get it? The government would not accept such security as many money lenders now have from time who are obliged to borrow. It would be a fat snap for the well-to-do fanner to have the government I'Sin him money at 2 per cent., but the ior man would not receive the assistance a.lan.L Ht tha ffnvurnninltl l.ilt would be oblhred to rail on his well- 4 to-do neighbor for money, and psv Mm the customary rate of Interest.

The latest fad t hut has fastened it self upon the fashionable psple of the East is gradually extending west ward. Chicago is now wroMllng with It, and St. Iuis Is about to take a "fall or two" Just to prove that wo are not entirely without morbid fancies. It will not be long tiefore we w ill see the playful little chameleon nestling close to tho four-in-hand of the chappies, or playing hidc-and seek among the frills and 1 1 litis that adorn tho bodice of the ladles, About a year ago the ultra-fash-ionuhles of New York, on the look ut fr something sensational aud -trikinti in the way of adorn incut, 'lit upon the chameleon as the thing. I'onscipiently, dealers begau bring- ii if the curious little lizards from Florida, Alabama, Arkansas aud other southern states. I.lttle gold collars are placed nbotit the necks of ,'he reptile and u tine chain and plu ittitched. The pins are fastened Iu ihescaris of the gentlemen, on the lapel of their vests, or uny place the fancy of the wearer may dictate, while ladies put them In their hair, on tlit i i- loseins at the throat, and sometimes on their shoulder. Tho chameleon has about :t or 4 Inches of chain, and he plays about or lien siill, looking as contends! as a bee In n buttercup. It is amusing to watch the movements of theso new society s-ts. While they can get along very nicety without f'Hxl or water for weeks at a time and by thoauclenU the chameleon was thought to exist upon uir they are ever on the look out for food. Their eyes, acting In dependently of each other, keep roll ing about in search of flitts. One eye may bu dircch ii forward while the other is turned backward, and any insect that comes within reach falls a victim to tho lightning-like stroke of tho chameleon's tongue. This organ is remarkable, being sub-cylindrical with the end somewhat en larged and hollow, and supplied with a glutinous secretion. It Is capable of being protruded fl or 7 inches. Tho chameleon will lie per fectly hlill for mi hour at a time, but if you touch one its movements aro as quick us a Hash, The chameleon cannot, ns was at one time suppot-til, change its color ut will, but under certain conditions, y no menus well ascertained, their normal bluish uh color may give (iince in n green or yellow ish hue, ivith irregular spots of a dull red, or it nut become considerably paler eo as to ii.pro;ic!i to w hiteness. Aris totle claimed thnt the change of color only .ook placu whou the ch;imeleoa was iiill.KcU w ith air; I'll ny, that its varying colors were Ixirrowed from surrounding objects, while Wormeus was the first to attribute those vari ations to tho play of emotions and passions. Milne Edwards, however, .bowed Hint whatever the exciting cause of these changes in color, they were rendered possible by the pres ence In the r-kln of tho chameleon of two layers of differently colored pig meiit, plievd one on the other, and so arranged that lxth may appear simultaneously on the surface, or the one may he displaced to a greater or less extent by the other, the color varying with the amount of such displacement. Thus protected by Its coloring, tho chameleon awaita Its prey, uiid no sooner docs an insect place it-elf within reach of Its tongue than tho o.'gau, leaping forth from itsshculh with lightning sliced, fixes its victim on tho glutinous tip, which is forthwith engulfed with equally astonishing rapidity.- St. Iniis iiobe-leiii(H rut.

I have watched this thing for a long time, and I say calmly and do-lils-rntely that I la-lleve cigarette smoking is ns luti I a habit as opium smoking. I am talking now of boys, remeinls-r.
