No proposition has been made for free trade." Now tell us whether a proposition has not been made for free trade in wool, in lumber, in salt, and some forty other things ? Orcgi uian. Of courhe there has been.but is one a free trader who favors putting lumber on the free list while retaining a duty on 4or other articles ? If so, then there would be no difficulty in fastening free trade upon the whole republican party and especially upon the Orcgonian. A few weeks ago, just prior to the adoption of the free whisky platform by the republicans at Chicago, the Orcgo nian was loud and vociferous in its demand for putting sugar on the free list. Accord ing to its own parity of reasoning tint made it a free trader. Some time ago that paper expressed itself as follows concern ing the duty on lumber : "The lumber duty is the most inexcusable folly and ini quity of the whole monstrous bundle of iniquities and absurdities called the tariff law." That paper found no excuse in the world for a tax on lumber. Therefore it is a free trader. Some time since that paper said : "Protection may pass for a blessing to those it protects, but to those whom it plunders it is quite another thing." Of course the Orcgonian would be opposed to the continuance of a law that would"plun der'' one class of people for the benefit of another. Therefore it would be a free trader. It would now be demanding that sugar should be placed on the free list had not its party placed it on a platform of free whisky and taxed clothing and food. Mr. Drexicr, who employs Chinese labor in an Oakland jute mill, proposes to vote for Harriton' because he thinks American labor will be hurt by making jute free. He competes already with convict labor at San Quentin, which ought to be about as cheap as what he calls the pauper labor of Calcut ta. The farmers who have to buy 40,009, 000 jute sacks every year to get their grain to market seem to get no consideration at all from Mr. Drexicr. In ten years these farmers paid $7,000,000 tax on jute for the benefit of Mr. Drexler's Chinese laborers,, we suppose, since the tariff U represented to be for the benefit of labor only. Mr. Drexicr s labor produces less then o per cent, of the jute sacks used in this State, and to protect that S percent, the farmers are taxed about $600,000 per year. Why is it that the Orcgonian and other republican organs arc not denying Harri son's pro-Chinese record any more ? Simply because in his letter to Rev. Brandt he ad mitted the whole thing. The summary of Harrison's Chinese record U as follows : Eight votes against propositions to exclude Chinese labor from this country, one vote to admit Chinese to citizenship, two votes dodged ; not a single vote in his six years' term recorded against Chinese Immigration, Now that General Harrison has told the truth about his Chinese votes, is it not time that his organs should cease telling some thing else about them ? Michigan Democrats have fused with the Greenhackcrs and Labor Unionists on the basis of giving Cleveland and Thurman ten electoral votes and the Labor-Un'onist can didates three electoral votes. Upon this the Democrats base hopes of carrying the State. I haye jot received en invoiccjof the celebrated Thompson Glove Fit Corset, one cf tbe oldett rd meit reliable male knowr.

Ilcnjamin Har rison's Letter, Feb. jo, 1888. Governor John M. Palmer,the democrat ic nominee for Goyernorof Illinois,said the other day : "There are peculiar features in Illinois politics which at this time give the democrats a fighting chance. The cam paigr will be the most energetic since that of i860. It is too soon to grow positive in figures, but the new facts from day to day encourage the democrats. There is no doubt with me of Cleveland and Tnurman's election. The republican plank on temper ance is regarded by everyone as a great big joke. It can't be expected to win back any prohibition votes. But It is the tariff plank that is going to lose them an enormous vote in the agticu tural states of the West. The farmers are gradually throwing off the yoke. They refuse to believe a high tariff the best thing for them. The peopic in the rural districts are good conservative people. They do not change rapidly or hastily, but when they do determine to vote against high tariff taxation they will surprise the peopic. There can be no question of heavy democratic gains in all the agricultural states."

Young. Knute Nelson is a republican represen tative to Congress from Minnesota. He made a very conclusive argument in the House against the subsidy schemes for merchant marine and steamship lines. He is a Norwegian and his illustration drawn from his own country was telling and un answerable : He said : "He referred to the country of his birth Norway a poor country witli less than two million inhabi tants. She was so poor that she could not fubsidizs a single ship for a single year.and i ct witli free trade and free ships stood next to the United States In tonnage and commerce. Applause on the democratic side. In every port of the world could be found a Nerwegian ship, and the idea that in this country, with all its wealth and all its resources, American shipping could not ovist without subsidy to a few steamship lines, was preposterous." weather Indications.

Once in a w hite we come across a leading republican journal that is honest and frank e.iough to admit that the republican plat farm means free whisky, The Wheeling tiilclligcm cr, the chief organ of the repub lican party In West Virginia, says : "The f ee w hisky plank Is In the platform, and annot be lied out of it.
