A review of Judge Williams speech will be published in the Democrat to-morrow If Mr. lilaine really did not want that nomination it would be very easy for him to say so. tJFWfP ew It is already apparent that the senate hung up the nomination for chief justice in order that partisan Republican organs might indulge in throwing mud at it from now until next November. Protection does nothing for the work- ingman. It can do nothing for him so long as free trade prey-ails in labor. Protection increases the profits of capital, but it does not increase the wages ef labor. The les sons of all history and all experience, no less than the logic of political economy.at test this fact. In Republican politics the Gresham boom seems to be growing, and if the effort that is under way to secure the support of the Harrison delegates from Indiana should prove successful, the favorite of Illinois may go into the Chicago Conven tion as a good third to. Blaine and Sherman, with a fair prospect of capturing the noml nation. The tone of the Republican press indi cates an increasing uneasiness at the pros pect that the responsibility for the defeat of revenue reform, if it is defeated, must rest with the Republican majority in the senate in this critical campaign year, Dealers in hats are already makinf calcu latlons for a lively trade during the sum mer and fall. A campaign booms the hat trade while it operates against general busi ness. The Cleveland hat has a large pic ture of Mrs. Cleveland in the crow n and will be the popular style. The friends of Alex. Brandon will find a "whole lot" more food for reflection in this mornings Herald. That paper admits to its columns under a hidden name what it has not the courage to say itself. It complains about the county court allowing Ad. Harmon's bill. Well, Alex Brandon allowed that bill, and he is the republican candidate for commissioner. The American Clrccer says: There is only one thing which the public will not tolerate at the present time, and that is much more agitation delay over the tariff questionand a failure to rtduccour exces sive taxation and surplus, which are a menace to all industry. Any statesmrn who undertakes o serve his party by de laying the decision of these questions will make the greatest mistake of his life, both for himself and for his party. The argument that under the present un- just war tariff the country has grown rich will becombatted by no one I It has grown rich, and this vast wealth is in the hands of the monopoHsts,hoarded away by the few, while the people.the wealth creating Instru inents, have not their just proportion to show for their labors. If any danger in the near future threatens this country in ternally it will come through the arrogant oppression of monopolistic rule, through the too great centralization of wealth. The Plain Dealer believes that a system of tax atlon Is not only unjust, but Is creative of dangers threatening the very existence of our free institutions. Laws that permit the piling up annually of a monstrous sur plus ore productive of wrongs that should be remedied without delay. The high tariff cry of protection to American labor a cry which is the inspir ation ef this delusive bill -is the most of tensive piece of hunibuggcry advocated by demagogues in the I'nitrd States to-day. The purpose of the high tariff is not to maintain the high wages of labor, biit to maintain the high profits of protected man ufacturers. The cry about labor is a mere stalking horse under whose shelter protect ed interests trust to be able to keep up a fiscal system which is for their exclusive benefit, and which robs everybody outside their pale. Randall's bill is simply a spe cious scheme to perpetuate the gains of favored classes who have ted and grown fi on the needs of the great masses of the people. STATE GKAN'UG. Gov. Peunoyor's Address of Welcome. The following is the address of Welcome delivered by Governor Pcnnoyer at 2 clock this afternoon, to the members of the StateGrange, now in session at Salem: Worthy Master and ladies and gentlemen of the Oregon State Grange : As the chief executive officer of the State of Oregon, I bid you welcome to its Capitol. 1 trust that your deliberations may be conducive to the welfare of your order. You represent the most important industry of our great fed eral commonwealth. Where agriculture flourishes, the nation prospers ; whero it languishes, the nation declines. In a gov ernment which does not interfere by law with the trade of its people for tho purpose of building up anyone industry at the ex pense ot others, it wouia not prooaoiy c incumbent upon an order representing any one industry such as you represen t to pay much attention to matters of legisla tion, but in a country where legal restric tions rre imposed for such ends, it is your bounden duty to prevent, if possible, any legislation unjustly unfavorable to the in dustry you represent. The restriction of trade'by law is opposed to the very genius of American institutions. Opposition to 6uch restrictions gave birth to American independence. It was the enactments of the British Parliament forbidding certain manufac tories in the Colonies,and by heavy imports denying the people of such Colonies the privilege of purchasing such manufactured articles where they coma De Dougnt cneap est, and not the stamp tax on the tax on tea that precipitated the American rebel lion against the British crown. Popular indignation was aroused in all tho Colonies against such unjust restrictions ot trade and against the custom dicers who en deavored to enforce them. In Boston such officers were ordered te procure from the Supreme Court eeneral warrant authoriz ing them to search where they could for smuggled goods. The collector ordered his deputy to procurea "writ ot assistance for tho purpose. The question of legality was raised and the Superior Court decided to hear argument before granting the writ. James Otis, Jr., was Advocate General, and it was Ins duty to appear on behalf of the Crown. He refused, resigned his office, and at tho trial in Boston appeared on be half of the popular side. "TKen and there" said John Adams, "American Independence was born. And in the first Continental Congress which assembled in New York in Octo ber, 1765, protest was made against the stamp tax tor the reason "that as the pro fit of the trade of the colonies ultimately center In Great Britain to pay for the man ufactures which they are obliged to take from thence, they eventually contribute very largely lo all supplies granted there to the crown. Hie raritament had Im posed upon the colonies, as Mr. Buike ex pressed it, "the burdens of unlimited mo nopoly," and they did not wish to bare in addition "tho burden of unlimited revenue too." You thus see, farmers of Oregon that resistance to the restriction of trade br Parliamentary legislation was the pat riotic germ from which sprung our free government. It therelore lollows that any legislation which is calculated to in juriously hamper and restrict trade is opposed' both to the traditions of our fathers and the genius of our institutions. And is It not also opposed to our fundamental law? Our constitution was formed with the intent "to promote the eeneral wel fare," and not to subserve the particular interest ot any particular Industry. And therefore all legislation framed for the purpose of benefitting certain indus tries is as repugnant to tho constitution as it is inimical to tho general good. The farmers ot uregon Dotn from motives of self inteiest and patriotism should oppose burdensome legislative trade restrictions as earnestly as did their fathers of the revolu tion. For seventy-five years they have been, more or less, the sufferers from such class legislation. There is no constitution al warrant for restrictions of trade by law or for the imposition of any tax by the fed eral government for any other purposo than that of raising the necessarv oublic reve nue, and as the interests of "the farmers of our country aro bust subserved by a strict sentence to Me fundamental law of the land, in this regard, it behooves you, farm ersof Oregon, to demand, with one voice, that all class or restrictive legislation no existing shall be repealed and that none shall hereafter be enacted by the federal Congress. Again I bid you welcome, and wnn you a pleasant and profitable session.
