TARIFF REVISION.
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." American
worker, which plan do yon pre, erf

OREGON THE BEST.
A horticulturist of Grand Junction,
Colorado, F. T. 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.

The dettroctlon of the prize win
ning apples entered at the Medforl
fair by O. A. Hamiltion of th's sta
tion, still remains unexplained, or at
least satisfactorily explained. J. E.
Watt, secretary of the fair In a.letter
under date of October 8th, svs that
"a .photographer, in attempting to
photograph your arplea. accidentally
knocked them down." 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.
Now, just because it has rained
iiliiutifullv for the last few days, it is
no sign that the Rogue River Valley
will not need irrigation next July, so
let everyone keep up the work till the
water is actually flowing through the
diVheV" We might just as well cut
three and four crops of alfalfa a year
as to cut one, and we might as well
increase all of our crops, but it will
take water to do it.
