thfTtakIkk AND WAGES.
Some o our laboring men who receive
a republican campaign document issued to
show the rates of wages in this country and
n England, Germany and other foreign
countries, should make a few comparisons
for themselves. Take, for instance, Ger
many, a high tariff or protection country,
and England, the country that is being
used so extensively as a spook. These two
countries of Europe furnish means of conv
parison that should be valuable, if any such
comparisons are valuable,for both are mon'
archies, thickly settled and subject to about
the same competition. Th? table of wages
in this valuable document shows, however,
that England pays coal miners an average
of $1.23 per day, as against 80 cents in pro
tected Germany. Other trades and occu
pations are in the same proportion. Shoe
makers in England earn on an average $6
a week, while under protection, in Germany
one can only make $3.30 at this traile.Paint
cr6 are paid in the two countries in the pro.
portion of $9 to $4 ; carpenters earn $10.50
in England, while in Germany they only
make $4 j bricklayers make $S.io a week
in England and only $3.60 in Germany. So
it goes through the list, while the ordinary
necessities of life, such as meat, flour.sugai
and potatoes, are from 15 to 25 per cent,
higher in Germany than in England. Will
anybody claim that the high tariff is re
sponsible for this state of things ? If not
why claim that the high tariff in this coun.
try is responsible for our higher wages ?
From every republican paper in South'
ern Oregon we find indubitable proof that
Col. Irish's speeches have had telling effect
n the minds of the voters in that region
Every republican exchange has its editorial
columns filled with long and elaborate ar
tides to break the effect of Mr. Irish's
speeches. "Truth crushed to earth will rise
again,"
The democrat who bolts his ticket th's
vear will fee called a bolter two rears from
now. In these days when republican pa.
pers like the Orrgonian are lashing their
voters into line and demanding that they
shall vote the "straight ticket," it would be
well for every democrat in Linn county to
carefully consider what his duties are in
the premises.
Day by day the cheering nes reache
tis from various parts of the county that
democrats are closing up the lines and will
march on to complete victory on the 4th
of June. This is presidential year-md the
bright outlook for President Cleveland's
re-election inspires democrats everywhere
to stand together in solid phalanx to e!eu
the who'. countv ticket.
Say, now, are Swift and Tanner republi
can emissaries sent here by the leaders of
lhat party to interfere in the politics of this
state ? Isn't this outside interference an in
suit to the republican voters of this state ?
Are they authorized to come here to tel
republican voters how to vote? Honor
hright,now,right up to the mark.
Letevery demociatic voter in the city
turnout to hear Hen. Geo. II. Williamson
next Monday evening. He is a man of
ability and will present the republican side
of the tariff with both skill and ingenuity.
Democrats will always be the gainer where
this question is discussed cooly .deliberately
and with candor.
The Eugene Journal very pointedly con
demns mud-slinging and other "slangy"
conduct in political campaigns and then in
the very same article calls Governor Pen
"oyer "a free trade crank." The Journal
very innocently means that no one shall
throw mud at it or its political associates,
but it shall have liberty to use all the mud
it chooses.
Mr, Clay never supported as high pro
tective duties as we now have, and doubt
less he would be a strong opponent of the
present tariff if alive. The most earnest
tariff reformer of this day would be well
content to have the duties reduced to Mr.
Clay'i schedules.
The number of Democralic state con
ventions that have declared for Grover
Cleveland corresponds exactly with the
number of states in which conventions
have been held.
A careful estimate made by a democrat
ic member of the ways and means com
mittee leads to the following conclusion as
to the result of the vote on the Mills bill :
I believe the bill is stronger new than it
..r nd that it w ill nass substantially
as it came from our committee. Of one
thing you can be ceriain.either the House
will pass a Din tnai w in uc w.
tage to the democratic party and the coun
try at large, or it will pass none at all. I
believe,however,that we are strong enough
t nnu this bill. There is a democratic
majontv in the House of eleven, and we
count on the votes of three rcpuolicans.
Knute Selson.Lind.of Minneota,and Kitch,
of New York, and three independents.
Smith, of Wisconsin, Anderson, of Iowa,
and Hopkins, of Virginia r As an offset
we expect to lose the Randall democrats.
Randall and Sowden.of Pennsylvania, and
Koran, of Ohio, certainlv.and perhaps Mc
Adoo, of New jersev ; Vance.of Connecti
cut ; Wilkins.of Ohio ; Bliss, Camming.
Merriman and Campbell, of New York.
Even if all the doubtful democrats should
vote with the opposition we shall still be
ab:e to pass the bill. When it was first in
troduced we expected to lese the votes of
Ohio and California on the free-wool
clause, but we now believe both the Ohio
and California democrats will vote for our
wool schedule."
The Mills bill makes a total reduction of
$;S,ooo,ooo of the surplus revenue coming
into the treasury, $54,000,000 being taken
from the tariff and $24,000,000 from inter
nal revenue. It adds salt, wool, heinp.jute.
tin plate, flax and some other articles to the
non-dutiable or free list. The average
tariff duty now upon all dutiable goods is
47 per cent, and the Mills bill reduces it to
40 percent. Will the people who contmu
ally shriek "free trade" point out where the
free trade comes in except upon the art!.
cles placed on the free list.
The Orcgonian after being flatly told by
Mr. Uush, Chairman of the State Demo
cratic Committee, that no money has been
sent from the East here to belp the demo
crats,then dodges off into another line and
says :
It may shrewdly be suspected that the
administration's money would not be used
through the state central commitce, but
would be distributed throughout the state
by confidential agents, who are known to
be going through every countv. These
things are done most effectively by ignor
ing the organized machinery and' getting
as near to the corruptible voter as possible.
The Orcgonian seems to speak from age
and expedience in such business, and con
cludes that as that is the way republican
leaders have always managed their corrup
tion fund, democrats would do likewise.
A gentleman who understands party
tactics in this state informed the writer
yesterday that "at this moment" Dolph
emissaries are at work In Josephine, Ben
ton and every other close counties in the
state, and this cry of the Oregonian is the
old one of "stop thief."

The ereat majority of Am-rirn differ

ciaries of the tariff feed and grow fat off

for he sells his wheatatanrice determined
in the markets of Liverpool. An import
tax of $1 a bushel on wheat would profit
the California farmer not one cent. The
world's demand reuulates his nriri-s inev.
orably. Without any protection from the
tariff, the farmer is systematicly fleeced by
the shears of every protected industry.
He Is plundered under the guise of law.

large a share of their incomes is taken
