THE BOARD OF TRADE. Now that the Board of Trade is a fixed fact in this city, a few thoughts upon the good work which such organizations have it in their power to do.may not be inappro priate. The verr manr incidental matters of public interest which this organization will be called upon from time to time to consider need not be now mentioned,but it is proper to mention the fact that the citi zens of this city uniformly agree that the greatest good which this organization can do for the who'e city and surrounding country wilt be the inducing of manufac turers of various commodities to establish p ants here. It is needless to speak here of the varied and important advantages which this city offers to capitalists. Our fine water power, the vast resources of our agricultural surroundings, health, climate, cheapness of living, abundance of timber, raw materials, such as wool, straw, wood, etc., used in industrial productions, all com bine to make Albany a place to be prefer red above that of any other place in Ore gon. While it is true that we want popu latien, would it not be the part of wisdom to secure it as an incident of the building up and utilizing the manufacturing advan tages of the city ? Population without em ployment is a detriment rather than a ben efit. These thoughts are thrown out as mere suggestions to induce people to re flect and look into these matters that so materially affect their interests. Some one has been collecting facts about the fathers of United States Presidents, with this result : "Grover Cleveland is the only clergyman's son who has ever been elected President, though Arthur's father was a clergyman. The fathers of the Virginia Presidents WasHnjton.yef. xersen, Madison and Monroe were plant ers. John Tyler's father was a lawyer and a statesman, and John Adams, the father of John Quincy Adams, was by profession a lawyer. Grant's father was a tannor,IIayes, father a merchant, and tha fathers of Gar field, Lincoln, Pierce, Fillmore, Pclk.Van lluren and Jackson were farmers." A few days ago we overheard a promin ent cattleman and old resident of this coun ty say he had voted the republican ticket for the past twenty years, had voted to pro tect an "infant industry" that had become such a powertul "infanf'it had almost con sumed his business and was driving him to the wall. but since the republican party had become the sheepman's party, he was a democrat straight out, and would vote that ticket from this time on. Ochoco Jitiim: Talking with a republican the other day, he said there were several names on the county ticket he did not like, but he pro posed to vote it straight.as this is presiden tial year and they were going far victory all along the line from constable to presi dent. How can democrats hesitate to do heir whole duty under this kind of threat? "Protectionist" in this morning's Herald complains that a little shaft of ours some time ago hit him and hurt him. Now.onr friend, "Protection," is taking upon his shoulders a burden we never intended he should bear. The target at which w e shot lives scores of miles from this citv .and only seml.occasionally appears on our streets. "Protection" is entirely too sensitive. Democrats should bear in mind that a vote for the republican legislative ticket is a vote for Dolph, llirsch or Williams for the United States Senate. N j jane demo crat could help elect either of these men to the United States Senate. These men are all monopoly bound.and the democrat who supports them will be aiding in binding the monopoly chains more c.oselv. All democratic toads converge on Cleve land as a cmnmon center. All republican roads diverge to a periphery farthest awav from the White House center. These movements constitute the tactics of the presidential canvass as far as heard from II .J, Judge Ilurnetiisamanof theqeople. He is none of the kld gIovd sort, but his sym pathies mingle with thegrcat masses of" the people. IIelsnlnveterale(oeagainst the encroachments of corporate power and would be just the kind of Judge that the people want on the bench just at this time. MRE TltADE lKiiKYIXAXT. Our progress toward a wise conclusion will not be improved by dwelling upon the theories of protection and free trade. This savors too much of bandying epithets. It is a condition which confront us not a theory. Relief from this condition may involve a slight reduction of the advanta ges which we award our home productions, but the entire withdrawal of such advanta ges should net be contemplated. The ques. tion of free trade is absolutely irrcvelant ; and the persistent claim made in certain quarters, that all effort to relieve the peo ple from unjust and unnecessary taxation aro schemes of so-called free-traders, is ischievous and far removed from any consideration for the public good. The simple and plain duty which we owe the people is to reduce taxation to the necessary expenses of an econo-r ical oper ation of the Government, and to restore to the businessof the country the money which we hold in the Treasury through the per version of governmental powers. These things can and should be done with safety to all our industries, without danger to the opportunity for remunerative labor which our workingmen need, and with benefit to them and all our people, by cheapening their means of subsistence and increasing the measure of their comforts. Cteivland't AFessagt. John M. Gearin, the "Oregon Boy," has S3 far recovered his health as to be out on the canvass upholding the cause of demo cracy. Let every democrat on the day of election remember to deal some heavy blows for Johnny. If Sherman is really relying upon the Southern delegations for a nomination he will fail again. The Republicans are too shrewd to allow their candidate to be se lected by a section that will not give him a single vote in the Electoral College. The Republicans claim that taxation in excess of national expenses,to the tune of $140,000,000 yearly, is a fruitful source of national prosperity. The farmer who has to sell a cow to pay his part of it can't see it in that light. The monoplists to Congress: Give us a high tariff for the sake of the dear work- fngman. The monopolists to the dear workingman: Take the wages we offer you or clear out. Money Used. Chairman Bush of the State Uemocratic Committee writes to the Oregonian as follows, which will show- how much there generally is in such mat ters as are referred to : "Please give me space to say that the dispatches repeatedly published in the Oregonian to the effect that the Washington administration is caus ing money to be sent to Oregon to be used in our pending election, are untrue. If President Cleveland and his administra tion is taking interest in our election, the democratic state committee has not been made aware of it. With the exception of $200 trom a I'uiitornla fund that commit tee has received no assistance from out side of the State, and very little inside." AN example. Ixmis rsolan, a young man, of Prinevillc, has just been sent to the penitentiary for two years for forging his name to a $30 order. The Review says "The crime for which he is to serve thii term of two years was the forgery of an or der on a store, by which l,e obtained $30 worth of clothing. Nolan is a voune man scarcely more than 25 vears of age , healthy auo strong, raincr goou appearing and nas not the appearance of one who would be guilty of the crime to which he confessed by his plea of "guilty ;" but his desire to live without work and dress well, evidently overcome his sense of honor and he now enters upon tke consequences of his rash act." 0 jr5 v m FltTlf I haye just received an invoice of the celebrated Thompson Glove Fitting Corset, one of the oldest arc!

To Tin: Thinking Pkoi-le of Albany -Friends : Inasmuch as this is the day and age of sensational advertisingand every business man is racking his brain trying to concoct some scheme w hereby he can get aneaa ot his neighbor. We wish to deviate rom that rule and make the following state ments, knowing that they will be appre ciated by all lovers of truth ard justice. We are here in business for the purpose of making money and we realize that in order to accomplish that object we must have a continuance of our large patronage. Furth ermore we know that this can be assured only by extreme effort on our part and Ne wish to state that we will at nil times give you first-class goods at prices as low or lower than any house in Albany and in ad dition allow you 5 per cent off' on all cash purchases. The statement made by some dealers that they can buv cheaper than others is folly in the extreme as all cash buyers have equal advantages one with an. other. What we arc striving to do is to merit your patronage and we hope bv square, upright dealing to do so and be of mutual K'netitone to another. Respectfully, Brownell & Stanaro, L W.
