Last week the provision of the tariff bill
placing salt on the fiee list was i-p befo e
Congress for cor.i'deralion. Here was a
fine opportunity to test the sincerity of n-n
who profers such tender care and solici.ci'e
for the interest-, of farmers and dairymen.
As soon as the clause was read pu.Mng t'.iat
article on the free list.Buir ,ugh of Michi
gan, republican.was on his feet with a mo
tion to strike out the clause. The motion
was supported by the republicans, but was
voted down by the democrats. During .he
discussion of the motion Mr. Whiting, of
Michigan, a democrat, and a manufacturer
oi salt on a large scale,earnes-lv suppo.Vd
the move for putting salt on the fre; li t,
urging that salt was abundantly able to
stand alone. Here were two tests. A test
of the sincerity of the republican pro-'e-sfon
of care for the interest o! the farmt
They could give him cheap salt, but bei ng
put in the scales the membeisof that par y
were found wanting. The other test was i.he
sincerity of democrats in their tariff reform
movement in the interest of the consum
ing classes. They united as one man to givt
the people cheap salt, and Mr. W'h' mgsup'
parted the move to keep faith with the
"people. And so it is in every aspec: of the
case. The democrats in Congress are with
the people, and the -cpublicans in that bo
dy are with the protce'ed monopolies f
the country. Mr. hiMng had the oppor
tunity to exemplyfy the true meaning of
American political manhood, and he did it
manfully and patriotically. Such is the
difference between a man who labors in
the interest of the whole mass of the peo
ple,and one devoted to the interests of the
few at the expense of the many.
There is a w ide difference between the
the evchrnge of p-oducts and selling them.

HOW LONU.
Yesterday's Orcgonian contains a die
patch giving an account of a meeting of
the Amalgamated Association of iron and
steel workers at Pittsburg, Pa., in which
that body passed a resolution declaring that
. they are mcst emphatically opposed to any
reduction of the present tariff on the ground
that a protective tariff affords good wages
to 'aboring men. The utter selfishness
and brazen check of these manufacturing
gentry may be better understood by the
reader when informed that these self same
manufacturers made an order within the
last two weeks reducing the wages of all
their workmen ten per cent. Does this
look like they were very anxious that their
laborers should have good wages ? Why
is it that these protected monopolists rush
in, at everv proposition to reduce the war
tariff, and ("cclare In the most emphatic
way their opposition to the movement ?
Are they candid when they declare that
they oppose tariff reform on the ground
that it will lower the wages of their work
men ? No, they are hypocrites, as every
person of observation must know.for in the
tame breath which they expend in de
nouncing tariff reform as detrimental to
the intc-ests of labcr.thcy promulgate their
lordly decrees reducing the wages of their
own workmen in order to make their own
pockets more plethoric. How long will
the laboring man.fhe farmer,the mechanic,
the merchantjthe professional Mian be gull
cd and cajoled by this pha. isaical pretense
of the pr Mcctcd monopolisms of the coun
try ? The mills of the gods grind slowly,
but they grind exceedingly fine.

To tub Thinking Pkople or Ai.ni.-"
Friends : Inasmuch as this is the day
and age of sensational advertising and every
business man is racking his brain trying to
concoct some scheme w hereby he can get
rhcad of his neighbor. We wish '.o deviate
ro:n that rule and make the fallow ing state
ments, knowing that they will be appre
ciated by all lovers of truth ard justice. W
are here in business for the purpose of
making money and we realize that in ordei
to accomplish that object we must have a
continuance of our large patronage. Furt'.i
ermore we know that this can be assured
only bv extreme effort on our part and we
w ish to state that we will at all times gl.-e
vou first-class goods at prices as low or
low er than any house in Albany and in ad
dition allow you 5 per cent off on all cash
pu chases. The statement made by some
deale.s that they can buy cheaper than
others is folly in "the extreme as all casn
buvers have equal advantages one with an
other. What we are striving to do is to
merit your patronage and we hope by
square, upright dealing to do so and be ot
mutual benefit one to another.
