FOR CoNOBEtHMAN 1ST. DISTRICT, BINDER HERMANN. "he attempt to get a referendum on tbe portage road, is not la tbe in terest of the public The public should be warned against tcning pe titions for a referendum. Hueh pe titioos are circulated for certain cor poration interests" F. E. Bjacb, Pres. Portland Board of Trade. The Independent thinks differently. The people In Washington county If they get opportunity will sign a pe. titlon for a referendum and vote again! the act because tbey believe that tbe portage road cannot be built for f 165,000, and II it could be built, that it would not do the work claimed for it. They believe that appropriating the money will make taze higher, and that spending the money is a waste. The democratic party of tbe First District and especially Mr. Reams, its candidate for Congress, have em pbasixed what Is denominated a slap of the administration In the face by the nomination of Mr. Hermann. In his speeches Mr. Reames lays stress on tariff reform as a trust remedy. The Corvallis Uasetta analysing that part of tbe candidate's speech re marks: "President Rooselvelt has said In this connection, no change In tariff duties ran have any substantial effect In solving the so-called It us problem. If Mr. Reames Is as solicitous for the feelings of President Roosevelt as he would lead republicans to believe, be must not give him the lie la this matter. Nay, more, be must sub. scribe to the views expressed by Pres. ident Roosevelt if he Is to be In har mony with the present admlnlstra tion." Ia Missouri there has been Doodl ing. During tbe recent session of the legislature the Alum baking power companies favored legislation that would permit them to sell goods in the state. During the time when the bill was pending quite a number of the legislators were handling bank bills of $1000 denominations. They were investigated on the charge of bribery and tbe court below ruled that they must account for the poss eAsioo, of the bills. On this the de fendants appealed to the Supreme Court. That tribunal holds that Page and HIckoz have a constitu tional rlirht not to answer questions relating to the bills of large denomi nation they handled. If they think, or my they think, an answer would incri.iiinitiH ihHiiigelves. Remarking on litis decisiou the St. Louis Globe Democrat states that it excites much surprise by Its sweeping character. Witnesses have not hitherto been supposed to exercise a judicial option greater than the courts themselves in questions of this kind. It will be strange if witnesses In Missouri do not now seek to discover an obscurity of some kind that looks, under a microscope, like self-incrimination or the shadow of It, and so bold off statutes, Juries and Judges at will. Tbe framers of the constitutional clause involved never dreamed of the lengths to which It would be stretched; but neither could tbey foresee the de tunnd for new and elastic interpreta tions in an era of widespread state boodling. TUE REASON FOR NATION. TUE SOW Democrats, with Mr. Reames at their head, are asking republicans to forsake their own candidate and vote for the democrat because Mr. Her mann has long been in office. They attempt to create a prejudice against him because of this fact. Now that is the very reason whv the Eugene convention nominated Mr. Hermann. It is recognized that by his long aoclatlon with public men, he is bat tor acquainted and, therefore, ran more efficiently perform the duties of Congressman. Tbe state as well as the First District wants experienced representatives at Washington at this time, and demand the most experienced man available, A year ago the state had Mitchell and Tongue, both In good health; strong mentally and experienced by years ot service. No one thought of retir ing them for the reason they "had been in ofioe long enough." The second district thought It could strengthen its representation by selecting a new man, and the state thought likewise and that these two new men could be etached by the experienced representative, but Mr. Tongue was removed by death so that the plaa that before had seetued en desirable was disarranged. Tbe First District In the emergency sought to restore the original plan as nearly as may be. Mr, Hermann is the best trained man in tbe district he tu taken. There in no - n In IbU clamor of the ooflosi i and with republicans it ought D 4 i. mot. It Is not for Mr. Her U) sun's benefit that he In put up for congress, but for tbe benefit of tbe district and the state. PBES. B008EVKLT AM) IB. 11 tK JaUSX. At tbe Instance of Senator Job IL Mitchell, Pres. Thos. II. Cart of the National Louisiana Perchase Ex position Commission, bad a nonver aatlon in Si. Louis with Pres. Room- velt touching the candidacy of Dinger Hermann of Oregoo. As near as Mr, Carter can remember his language, tbe President said; "There is not one word of trutn In tbe rumor that I aui opposed to Mr. Hermann's election but, on the contrary, I heartily am earnestly desire his election. I hope that every voter who belives in the principles of the party andwfohes well for tbe administration will cast his vote for Mr. Hermann. Tbe rumored quarrel between Mr. Her mann and myself is without foonda tion. Our relations are, and alwa s have been, cordial." SUU1B Tlil'aT ASD BEET HlUill It must be exceedingly mortifying to senators and other officials who deserted the beet-producing farmer, ou the pretense tbat tbe "sugar beet Interests" had "consented" to the Cuban treaty, that tbe sugar trust is so bracen In so quickly and openly taking possession of the beet sugar factories la whose name it "consent ed" to the step toward the free-trade in sugar which the trust desires to obtain. Io this state tbe transfer of tbe Alvarado and Crockett factories has already been made public, and the final steps are in progress for taking over the pUnt of the union company. It would have been more decent to let matters run along nom inally under the old management, for, while senators doubtless fully understood bow tbe sudden "consent was obtained, it must coruo as a shock to them to have tbe entire public taken Into confidence before the deal Is actually completed. Be sides, it is imprudent. The new House of Representatives cannot ignore these public acts, and will not be disposed to do so. Its members do not, like senators, especially Ihote who have Just been reelected, feel themselves wholly above public opinion. No greater fraud upon the Amer ican public was ever attempted than tbe setting up to tbe pretense that the "beet sugar interests" had con sented to the Cuban treaty. The sugar trust, having directly 'or in directly secured control of a majority of the stock of the successful factories, the officers of these factories, who assembled In a "conventiot " of four or five men, holding "proxies" for the rest, were nothing more or les ban the agents of the sugar trust, which openly, officially and constant ly advocate complete free-trado in raw sugsr, with stiff protection for the refined product. The transaction. as a pretended expression of opinion by thoee Interested in beet sugar, was a shameless fraud, known to be such by senators who pretended to accept it as an excuse for betraying the farmers who produce beets. These farmers, In consequence of that betrayal, have suffered sn actual reduction of 50 cents per Ion in the price of beets at a time when all pro ducts which they have to buy are rising in price, when tbe amount ol protection under the existing tariff warrants a very large increase in the price of beets, and when ugar beet stock, as alleged in the Oxnard cir cular, Is enormously profitable. It Is disgraceful chapter in American economic and political history, whose discussion in the net congress can not be hidden behind (he doors of an "executive eeesiou." San Francisco "Chronicle." ALL HOISTBIES ARE lXDEPEM) EST. Mr. Atkinson's argument is thai no one would be injuriously affected by the withdrawal of protection save tbe selected 1,000,000; and that con sequently there would be but slight disturbance of business If protection was abandoned. Like all free-trade arguments, this Ignores all the lessons of experience; and argues from one Isolated group of facts, and those not carefully ortruthfully selected, Ignor ing everything else. One large fact which Mr. Atkinson has ommltted is tbe Interdependence of all Industries of this country upon each other; and another important fact is that of all the persons engaged in gainful occupations in tbe United States, by far the greater number are engaged In catering to the wants of tbe American people. It Is but a relatively small fraction of our pro ducts which finds a foreign market. Mr. Atkinson's logic Is that a mil lion men now engaged in gainful occupations could be snddeuly deprived of employment and of all opportunity for employment In the trade which they now follow with no Injury to any interest outside f their trade. Tbe facts err, a, n ason and experience have shown, that the cessation of work In any large iudutry of the eouutry is felt in every oilier industry. When auy considerable number of meu eee to draw wax and reduce Iheir seid inglo the minium, almost iiutuediitle. ly there U overproduction, fallin? prices and lessened employment iu every other industry. This gum uu with cumulative t-l'ecl, until depres siou reaches every trades channel iu the country. The depression in the wauufaclur ing Industries of Hie country which followed the adoption of the la democratic tariff lar left no industry untouched. The workers outside i f the industries from which protection was withdrawn suffeied in. the end precisely as did ihiti who were fiist aliected and who lont Iheir employ merit. The agricultural interest, deprived of a lario shui'u of a former ly profitable home, murket, through the sudden cessation of the stream of wages, suffered as severely as any other interest in the country. The lessened consumption, the lessened deinaud (or laroi products, forcd the prices down below the margin of profitable production, and brought ruin to thousands of farmers Mho were caught iu the emergency carry ing a load of mortgage indebtedness, With the re tt-Ul'lishment of pro tection along lines which did really protect, not only did the protected industries themselves) commence to prosper, but every other industry in the country did the same. These are facts which - cannot be deputed. Every one knows them. The free- trade argument is always tmsed upon theory. Protection has but to point to what has been accomplished under it, and what has been the result when free-trade theories have gone partially into legislative ilTect. Seattle "Poet-Intelligencer." ..THAT DELUSIVE Kl'EF.CII. Tbe 60th anniversary of tho estab lishment of the provisional govern ment of Oreon was celebrated at Charupoeg, last Saturday, and a del- iciouscomedy of error has developed in connection with that occasion. Mr. A. E. Reames, democratic candi date for congress from this (.islrict, was on the program for ao address, but was prevented by delayed trains from reaching Chuiupocg to fill his engagement. This did not deter the Portland Journal from giving a gra phic account of the enthusiastic recep tion accorded Mr. Kaa.nos speech. The Journsl said in pari: "The ap pearance of Mr. K?arues on the stand was a signal lor an outburst of ap plause." This was a pretty fair stretch of the imagination, for Mr Rauies was 100 miles away whe this Incident was supposed to hiiv occurred. The Journal however, progressive paper that it is, published tho speech not withstanding that Mr. Reams telegraphed to kill It. - Advance copies of Mr. Kanie address were scut out by Chairman White of the democratic congioesion- ai committee. The Gazette received copy. Now comes the Clackamas County R'cord with an account of the exercises at Champoeg, contain ing the" speech delivered by Hon. Fraulc D.ivey. The Divey address In the R jconl ami the Ream ad- dresssent out by Chairman White are one aud the same.- Corvallis Usg'tte WHOLE 1'iKHf AT WOKk. This promises to lie no Furnish compaign, so far as Mr. Hermann is concerned. All Republican oruaniza tions are at work. The republican county central committee and tho three, republican clubs of Halem are to unite in control of the Hermann rally at 8 tlein. Tbe Qeer Republicans are to he ou! In full force, and Governor O cr Is to make one of his felii'itous opening addresses, in introducing Hermann. For once there is no division, and Republicans, young and old, are lo pull t igelher, Instead of pulling in seventeen direction. While Republicans divided on Fur. nisb, and divided on Uoer, tbey are now going to show that there Is an organization in existence called the republican parly of the first ongres sinnal district, and that it Is capable of electing a member of congress. The support of the Roosevelt ad ministration cannot bo promoted by electing a democrat to congress. The appropriations f.jr Western Oregon are an Impossibility with democrat In congress. The throe members of the Oregon delegation are all on the Columbia river. An appropriation to protect the Willamette river anil lo preserve the Salem harbor is an imoibility with a one-term democrat. Oregon got 1300,000 In the last riv er and harbor bill, while Washington got 13,000,000. Is it any wonder Washington is outstripping Oregon In the race for development? 1 It Is time for I'm wit le repuMhMn party t get In ami work In this cam paign If we love our country m well as we should I tvn it.
