Tariff Purpose'y Too High. When the present tariff act was un der consideration in the House of Rep resentatives in 1897, Mr. Dingley, who was the chairman of the Ways and Means Committee, said the schedules were "purposely placed too high ir order to leave a safe margin for reci procity treaties that were intended to be made and for which the Dingley bill provided. But nowjcomes Speaker Cannon and declares: "I have no hesitation in say ing that the present revenue law known as the Dingley law, all things considered is the most nearly perfect and just cus toms law ever enacted". Considering that the trusts and combines are pro tected by the 20 per cent extra that Mr. Dingley admitted was, "purposely placed too high" and that the Repub lican leaders have refused to ratify the reciprocity treaties negociated ty President McKinley, it must be con fessed that Mr, Cannon's statement is extraordinary. This is carrying the standpat position to the verge of defending the plunder ing of the people for the benefit of the Trusts and Combines and allows them in the future, as in the past, to extort such an unreasouable profit, that the cost of living has advanced 47 per cent since the Dingley act became the law And yet in spite of this, Speaker Can non and the other Republican leaders have agreed that if they control the next Congress, there shall be no tariff revision. 'J he President on Trusts Mr. Carnegie, at the opening of the Roosevelt campaign in 1904, in a burst of partisan philantrophy, said he would give one million dollars to the republi can campaign fund to elect Mr. Roose velt. Did his liberal donation have the effect of enervating the judicial arm of the government? It looks so, for there has been no attempt to prosecute the steel trust and it must be remembered that Mr. Carnegie owns $300,000,000 of the steel trust bonds. As Mr. Roose velt has discovered that the question of revising the tariff stands wholly apart from the question of dealing with the . so-called trusts that is, with the con trol of monopolies and with the super vision of great wealth in business es pecially in corporate form. Is it possible that President Roose -volt does not know, or for partisan pur poses denies that such so-culled trusts as the steel trust, the sugar trust and most manufacturing combinations that are complete or partial monojn''.es, j have been created and could not exist : without tariff protection nrrninflt. fnr- eign competition. The protective tariff was the mother , of those trusts ami-is still nursing those lusty infants.

The trusts are stronger than ever be fore in the history of the United States, This is true of all the big trusts, The combinations under which they do business are better organized than ever before. Prices in the different lines are more firmly fixed by the trusts than ever before, absolutely under their con trol, a fact true of any of the big trusts. And yet in the face of these true facts speakers in the campaign which has begun, are telling what Roosevelt has done with the trusts. People with enough sense to walk a straight line know that Roosevelt hasn't done anything that amounts to anything with the trusts. If ho had the above facts wouldn't be true, and they are true, for the demonstration is a practical one presented in every household, in every store, on every corner. It isn't a fancy, but it is fact. The price of every gallon of any kind of oil bought is just what the trust fixes it. The price of every nail bought is just what the trust fixe3 it. The price of canned meats of all kinds fixed entirely by the trust. People who use coal pay just what the trust "dictates. The newspapers are all sub jected to trust prices in the buying of paper, there absolutely being no com petition. And the same is true along any line you please. And yet the ad ministration speakers back east have tho colossal assumption to appear on the stump and tell what tho Roosevelt administration has done with the trusts, No administration can ever do any thing with the trusts until it puts the tariff down to where it belongs. Low tariff is tho only thing that will knock the trusts, and Mr. Roosevelt hasn't done a thing to reduce the tariff. Slitdd Bulletins. Mr. A. B. Clark, editor of the To ledo Reporter, spent Sunday at Shedd visiting his daughter, Mrs. Allen. Mr- Clark is a refined gentleman and runs a red hot paper in the cause of temper ance, justice, morality and right. The Toledo Reporter will always be found on the right side whether it wins or not. A crew of Japs have just finished putting in a new switch at this place. These little brown men did excellent work. The writer has always been opposed to Mongolians on principle, but the crew that did this work here has done much to modify the rancor felt against this race of quiet, hard work- ing, sober people.

People may get tired of readme about them, but so long as there is any fraud left unpunished the government does right in continuing its prosecu tions. There have been some pretty live developments, of a character to leave no doubt of the guilt of the men being tried as well as others frequently referred to. Mr. Puter was a star witness. This man Puter isn't entitled to much consideration when it comes to integrity, but at the same time he has probably told the truth in this case, which is a matter for the jury to de cide among themselves. If they be lieve he has told the truth there can be no question as to the result, and some more scalps will hang at the belt of M r. Heney and the statue of Justice. ... Down in California this week the hoad railroad lawyer of the state, salary 550,000 a year, dictated the name of the governor on the ticket nominated, a fact which makes aclean- cut suggestion of the situation. When railroads can come into the game and dictate nominations it is about time the people did somethiug for their own pro tection. It is not to be wondered at that there are suggestions of the govern ment running things themselves in cluding the railroads. Mr. Bryan continues to attract the attention of the people of the country. There is some reason for it. The re ception in his home town showed very plainly what was thought of him as man by those knowing him best. As a statesman and a thinker the public has plenty of opportunity to judge without the dictation of the press. His writ ings speak for themselves, and there is no question about what he thinks on public questions. When a man's character is such ihat he stands for something higher than curbstone politics, in the interest of a better manhood, there is always a class of men who can't see much beyond their noses, who begin throwing mud at him, calling him names not in the dic tionary and looking for opportunities to kick him, but bless you, the mud spat ters back and the kicks are in the air, and the man becomes stronger all the time, while the monger loses cast and slidesdownward like a toboggon. All aroundthere are men digging their own graves, scorned by even their supposed friends when their backs are turned. A big irrigation congress has been held this week up in Idaho. Plenty of rain here, and yet it is one of the most interesting and important things before the people of the northwest, because it means much for the country as a whole, the opening for cultivation of dry sec tions which may be made to bloom as the roses. The placing at the head of the movement a Willamette valley man, is particularly gratifying. Frenzied Ihougnts, fnrmM ttrr'a f n iva fnn tlift .Tnmps- town v people to have the "pike" VUWil, TO.

The trees continue to fall up on the Corvallis and Eastern. When the train went up yesterday it was necess ary to cut away the roots of a large tree which had fallen completely over the track exceot the ends of the roots. coming down the mountain side. The recent tires weakened some of the o'd MISFITS. More agony, Gans andBritt! President Chamberlain sounds pretty good. Mr. Puter i3 getting even with a ven geance. Mr. Beals is trying his best to make it rain. The hop picking fever has hold of the valley. The railroads pretty near own the country. Vermont has gone republican again. Marvellous. Have to have hops to make good bread. Ruzevelt's speling reform is alredy nockt out. Foot ball in Oregon promises to be tame this year. Puter says he bribed Brownell among the others. Of course if Governor Chamberlain run he was elected. Mr. Puter was a witness, but what is his word good for anyway. Every hop box in the Albany market is said to have been sold. Bunting Nelson has gone a fishing. Probably after more suckers. The state fair and hop picking to gether are liable to bring rain. Dowie says he is pure, thereby differ ing from most people on the subject. I A big Russian fight at Stopinsky yes-' terday. This ought to be stopped in stantly. A man has been killed in Portland by drinking Chinese gin. About as bad as American gin. Gans is Nelson's superior physically, socially and morally and that is saying much. Linn county's exhibit with Eastburn and Roberts hold of the lines is bound to cross the line m front. The Siuthem Pacific lawyer named the republican nominee for eovernor of California. Comment is unnecessary. "the Democrat has received a codv of a paper called the Yellow Jacket, published in N. C. It claims to be hot stuff, but it is as weak as dishwater. With the railroads dictating the nom inee for eovernor it is no wonder rieoDle are thinking about government owner ship of the railroads. There are now six telephones at the central office of the depot. Perhaps the clerks don't have their hands full. Stensland will soon be on U.

Mi1. Bryan should sleep well after reading the following from the Wood burn Independent: P. A. Cochran will turn out a Bryan man after all, for there is nothing to show that Bryan is going to sicken the noonle with free silver talK on the present occasion. Mr. Cochran wishes it distinctly understood that he is a demo crat of. the hrst water, but not a new fangled one with free silver stripe. Running tor Senator. Mr. George U. Piper, of Seattle, a brother of Mrs. E. W.

He is said to have be come quite a political power in Seattle, taking a leading part in the councils of his party. Coui ty Court Bills Allowed. ! COUNTY OFFICERS.

Mr. Cartright has 80 acres of about the finest hops in the state, he thinks good for an average of a ton per acre, or about 16q,000 pounds in all.
