WHY t
Mr. J. P. Foster.presidont of the Repub
lican League ol the L'nited States.has issu
ed a confidential circular to the protected
monopolists of the countrv.pleading in the
most pathetic terms for mrr.ey to save the
party from that crushing defeat which he
evidently thinks awaits them, unless thev
can overwhelm the poor democrats with
millions of dollars that indispensable arti
cle so often so successfully used by these
republican leaders. The dire straits of that
party are fully brought to light by the tons
of the circular, Foster savv'we want mon-
and want it at once." flow fearfully
anxious he is that democrats will steal a
march on him before he gets his money
and "fixes" the bovs. Then becoming ex-
aspirated at the indifference with which his
appeals have been received by the benefi
ciaries of the party whose success he labors
to promote, he says : "If I had my way
about it, I would put the manufacturers of
Pennsylvania under the fire and fry all the
fat out of them." Indeed ! Why do this ?
Why not make your appeals for money to
those who receive the benefit of high tax
es ? Why not call upon the farmers of the
whole country, who, by a high protective
tariff, are afforded such a fine market for
their wheat, corn,barley,rye,pork,beef,etc ?
Why not put these men under the fire and
fry all the fat out of them .-" Have tney
not piled up princely fortunes out of the
markets which a high protective tariff se
cures them ? Why compel the manufac
turers to contribute to your immense cam
paign fund, when every one knows they have
already given every cent accruing to them
from the high protective tariff laws to their
employes in the shape of high wages m or
der to protect these employes against the
pauper labor of Europe ? x ou seem to for
get, Mr. Foster, that eur protective tariff
laws were enacted for the two-fold purpose
alone of supplying ample markets for thi
products of the farmers of the country ,an
affording good wages to our laborers.Wh
not put the protected miners who work
the coal and iron mines in Pennsylvania
from 70 to 90 cents per day "under the fi
and fry all the fat out of Mem," to get mon
ey to elect your president ? Do not the
farmers and protected laborers to whom
we refer receive the benefits of protection
Then, in all candor.should you not call up
on them to pay the campaign expenses
the party who favors keeping up war taxes
from which they receive all the benefit
Why do you invariably appeal to manu
facturers when the protective tariff law-
are threatened with revision ? You wou!
not dare to appeal to the farmers and labor
ers of the country as the beneficiaries of
protection for money to run your campaign,

A Maltese cat and a large rattlesnake
had a fight in a yard at Albany, Ga. Every
time the snake would attempt to strike
with its wicked looking fangs, the cat
would give it a vigorous slap on the side of
the head and it would be ilhdrawn. This
asted for fully an hour, when at last the
cat pounced upon the snake and killed it.
The cat was a very large one, The story
is told by the wife of a Methodist presiding
elder, who owned the cat.

The Orrgonian as to its views just at this
time on the tariff question is totally parti-
san.whollv sectional.and free trade. Par
tisan, because it would not touch the tariff
on anv article produced in a republican
state. Sectionjl, because it would confine
its reduction to articles raised alone in the
South, and free trade because it would put
sugar on the free list.
The atrocious crime of being an old man
is now laid at the door ef Allan G. Thu
man. He w ill be 75 next November, it is
an age w hich finds Gladstone still a leaden
and Bisniark yet charged with the heavy
duties of the chancellorship.
More than one prominent Republican
wishes today that the Chicago business
was well over. There is a "right smart"
chance that it will sufler seriously by com
parison with the harmonious action of the
convention at St. Louis.
Four years ago to-morrow the Orcgonian
said : "There was no pretense that pro
tection would increase the wages of opera
tives when the American policy was first
proposed. Wages were then high, an
Henry Clay agreed that they formed but
small part of the total cost of manufactures
and the difference between the wages of
Englishmen and Americans was of no con
sequence. It is only recently that protec
tionists have demanded a high tariff in the
interests of their workmen. And yet it i
found that those who receive the highest
protection do not pay the highest wages.
and in many cases where duties havebecn
increased, on this plea made by the manu
.facturer, the rate of wages has not been
raised at all. The pretense under which
protection was adopted sixty years ago.was
that it was necessary to create a home mar
ket for the farmer. But experience has
shown, though it has not fully convinced
the farmers, that this argument is not as
strong and sound as it was at first supposed
to be. Mr. T. G. Shearman recently ex
posed its fallacy in a speech on the effect
of protection on the farmers." These truths
exist now with the same force as then, hut
the Orcgoman docs not admit such to its
columns now.
The Orrgonian finds it necessary to In
lorm its readers that It does not believe in
"ultra protection." Taking its own col
umns as evidence, t'.at paper will have lit
tle trouble in proving that it does not be
lieve in "ultra protection." In fact it would
be an easy M,k to prove from the columns
of that paper that it has promulgated everv
phase of the tariff question from"ultra pro
tectlon as one extreme, to ultra free trade
as the other. There is only one question
of doubt among the people as to the atti
tude of that paper 011 the subject of the
tarlff.and that is when will It make its next
change.

To the Thinking People or Albany
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 whereby he can get
ahead of his neighbor. We wish '.o deviate
rom that rule and make the following state
ments, knowing that they w ill 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 pafonage. Furth
ermore we know that this can be assured
only by extreme effort on our part and we
wish to state that we will at all times give
you nrst-ciass goods at prices as low
lower 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
dealers that they can buy cheaper than
others is folly in the extreme as all cash
buyers 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 01
mutual beneht one to another.
