A business panic in a good dual like a freshet sweeping throngh a town and raining the water of brook or'river to a destructive height. Such a'frBdliHt cannot always be foreseen or provided against successfully; bat what would bs thooglit of a man who tliould propone that, because water had risen over a dam and caused louie destruction below, the dam should be cut down or removed? That is the democratic idea of tariff revision. We have bad business troubles in the great centers the business, that of banking, having no sort of connection with the tariff and these troubles have led to financial strlnency and loss of employment for a large a number of workers. The democratic remedy for this is to make things far worse by destroying, under cover of revising, the very system on which American Industries have been built up and es tablished, aud thereby making it far more difficult, If not impossible, for the work leas to get work. The repub lican plan Is to revise the tariff with due regard for the protection of Amer ican Industrial interests and with view to help.the workless to get work, Instead of making their oonditlon helpless, as It would be under the Bryau-Democratio scheme of "a tariff for leveoue only."

Morton by name, who has grown fruit extensively for the past thirty-five years in the states of Colorado, Utah and Idaho, in a re cent speech said that Oregon ia the best fruit growing place In the world, aud to show that he meant It, further said that he exiwcted to locate in the Rogue River Valley or in the Will amette. Rogue River orohardists will en dorse his stnteuieut aud will give him a welcome when he lees fit to oast his lot in this section. Many of the cities of Oregon now have an txhihit room located near the depots, in which are displayed sample nf the products of the country. Being close to the trams the thousands of people who pas by, have an oppor tunity to see what the country is good for, and having seen, many of them decide to locale and this brlugs ns to inquire why it is that Grants Fans has not had one of thene exhibit buildings near the railroad grouuds. The coat would be trlfliug and our farmers and orchardista would be more than glad to briug their products in to be displayed. Thousands of people are looking for homes aud this section Is perhaps getting its share, but a very little effort wonld "add teufold to the number of persons who locate here.

Of course, havine knocked them down, it was quite natural that he should tramp en them. My, what awkward photog raphers they must have at Medford.
