Govetuor Chamberlain iutends to
make a thorough canvass of the state.
He will meet most of the people of
Orogou and explain his positiou on
important state questions. The people
have a right to know those things and
the Governor is more than willing that
they should. His record is a good en
dorsement of his fitness, for bis has
been about the clearest adtninstratiou
Oregon ever had. He will go before
the people with this as bis platform
uud the odds are with him by a long
shot.
The oommercial organizations of
Portland are giving great publicity
to the agitation of the idea of "Made
iu Oregon," whioh is always a proper
slogan. It is a oatob phrase that is
being used on the stutionery and on
buttons that ere worn by many. Aud
why should it not bo popular. Every
body in Oregon should take it tip aud
be impressed with a movement that
cannot help but build up the state
It is not only a matter of pride, but
a question of good business sonso.
Oregon is good enough and so are Ore
gon made goods.
All voters should inform themselves
upon the merits of the various consti
tutional amendments to bo voted on iu
the June oleotiou, under tho initiative
aud referendum. Don't put off the task
for a task it is, uutil election day gives
too little time for mature considera
tion of what may be very important
mutters. .
One of the worst features of the Cal
ifornia calamity was the destination
of the hospitul for the insane at Ag
uew. Demented oreaures by the
hundreds were oorralod iu nu inolosure,
after tho destruction of tho building,
aud were about to overpower the few
attendants when the Hie ulaim
was
rsorted to, killing and uiainiiug
great number.
County politics will begin to wax
warm immediately aud tho lust of the
month will grow hotter aud hotter.
Motocco is threatened vih n terri
ble famine, owing to shortage of crops.
Now if (iermauy and France will shure
equal responsibilities in relieving the
situation no one will object.

a man will live riotously, be mtiit
suffer the consequenoes. If a man
lives temperately, he will receive the
benefits. The pressure exerted by
steam, when it is confined, gives the
power which moves the traffio in the
world, but if the boiler plate be weak
in a spot, the same pressure will cause
an explosion, destrnction of life and
great suffering. Every living organ
ism, animals as well as plants, is
made up of cells and cell life. Pre
cisely the same law which produces
health and healthy cells, which makes
bouefioial germs life creative, pro
duces also disease aud makes death
germs effective. In Nature there is
perfect harmony, aud discord will be
produced if a man has his way and
could set aside disease, death and dis
aster in order to save some valuable
and noble human life, and thus make
an exception to the great law.
The proteotive tariff is a violation
to the natural law. It began with the
foundation of this government, and
Alexander Hajnilton, who mar be call
ed the father of the Dolicv in this
country, frankly admitted it to be a
bonus given to encourage the estab
lishment of infant industries in an in
fant country. Profound thinkers
know that no natural law can ever be
violated with ultimate good results, no
matter bow plausible the theory and
bow beuefloial the immediate results
seem to be. The establishment of the
vicious doctrine of protection has
bronght untold ills to this country. In
iact, tuis country would not nave so
successfully overcome these evils, had
it not been for its immense internal
natural resources aud the perfect free
dom of trade between the states. The
proteotive tariff is a bonus taken out
of the pooket of the consumer, who is
the poor man or the average man, and
given to the privileged few. Privileged
because those who have the wealth to
establish manufacturing plants are not
many, and being once established they
are secured from competition by the
protective tariff for whoever under
takes to oompete with them does so
only to the point of the artificial profit
secured by the tariff, and rather than
go below that, the manufacturers will
make common oauso against the
public consumers.
The protective tariff is a steal. By
the brute force of law it puts its bands
into the averago man's pocket and
robs him for the benefit of a few. By
t he brute force of law, it says to the
consumer, "You shall not buy where
you can buy cheapest." By brute
force of law it says, "There shall be
no competition, but we will build
a wall around the oountry to protect
us from the outside." Some of the
consequences of this violation of a
fundamental principal of freedom may
be enumerated as follows: The crea
tion of trusts, as the banding together
of those having a common interest
is always inevitable. The ownership
of the United States Senate. The de
nial of justice to tho Philippines,
whioh are our colonies for the pur
pose of beiug governed, but no our
colonies for tho purpose of trade.
Reaping maobines, nails, wire, and
otbor things, are sold cheaper toMexi-
J cans and to Russians than to citizens
of tho United Statse. A man today
is driving an immense business in (
w atones in JNew xoik by buyiug
American wutabes iu Europe uuder
contract, at such a price us to euable
him to re-import them back to this
country uud sell thorn cheaper than
the American price. The laborer is
fooled by the statement that tho tariff
makes industries and furnishes em
ployuiont. The fact is that tbo labor
er's wages und employment depend
upon the tariff law, depends on open
competition, and the tariff law really
puts tho laborer into the bauds of the
niauufuotuier. Custom bouses ought
to bo abolished, in order that society
may oporate iu froedom and according
to natural laws, and those taxes which
are necessary for government ought
to be raised by taxing the natural val
ue of raw land.
Tho protective tariff is an indirect
tax aud is productive of great extrava
gance, whioh extravagance would not
bo permitted by the people out of any
tax diroctly levied.

Dr. Pierce's favorite Prescription for the
cure of the weaknesses, periodical pains
and fnnctioml (leraiiRemen:K of tlin or
pnns distinctly feminine, tho onlv mmll
ciun put up for sale through druggists for
woman's siecial use, tho maker of which
is not afraid to take his patients into
his full confidence by such open and
honest publicity.
A glance at the published Ingredients
on each bottle wrapxr, will show that It
Is mado wholly from native, American,
medicinal roots, that it contains no poi
sonous or habit-forming drugs, no nar
cotics and no alcohol pure, triple-refined
glycerine, of proper strength being used
Instead of the commonly employed alco
hol, both for extracting and preserving
the activo medicinal properties found in
the roots of tho American forest plants
tmployed. It is the only medicine for
women's pecular diseases, sold by drug
gists, that does not contain a lurgo per
centage of alcohol, which Is in the long
run so harmful to woman's delicate, nerv
ous system. Now, glycerine is perfectly
harmless, and serves a valuable purpose
by possessing intrinsic value all its own,
and besides it enhances the curative
effect of the other Ingredients entering
Into the "Favorite Prescription."
Some of the ablest medical writers and
teachers endorse theso views and praise
all the several ingredients of which "Fa
vorite Prescription" is composed rec
ommending them for tho core of tho
very same diseases for which this world
famed mcdicinn is advised. No other
medicine for women has any such pro
JeUinnl endorsement worth more than
any number of ordinary testimonials. If
Interested, send nnme and address to Dr.
R. V. Pierce, Buffalo, N. Y., for his little
book of extracts from the works of
eminent medical writers and teachers,
endorsing the, several ingredients and
telling lust what Dr. Piorco's medicines
are mado of. It's free for tho asking.
