Daily Democrat The dispatches very kindly tell us how Wanamaker, the new postmaster. general, conduct! hit class in Sabbath school. Now if they would with the same degree o( kind ness tell us just how he conducted his scheme last (all of raising $400,000 to cor Tuptthe voters of New York and Indiana in order to elect Harrison thepublic would feel highly elated, notwithstanding a full disclosure of the facts might show up the new postmaster in such a light as would make people think him a very unsuitable person to conduct a Sabbath school. It is stated that South Australia was the first to inaugurate the reform measure in voting that hassecured such wide favor. It has since, as reported, taken a new departure in tax matters and adopted something like the Henry George single tax law. In the towns the taxes for water -works, and all the municipal features are levied on land values alone. In the country dist.icts all improvements upon land are exempted fi om general taxation. As in most of the Western states and territories in this country.brge tracts of land there are held, unimproved, by 1 ich speculators: and they probably find the law very oppressive and unjust. No reason is r parent why the test there should not be ttio.ough and comprehensive. Beginning on the first Monday in Decern hsr, 1S87, the Fiftieth Congress continued uninterruptedly In session until October 20, iSSS, when It adjourned to meet for the second session In December and continue until March 4, 18S9, as required by law. During the two sessions there have been ntroduced in the House 12,659 bills, or 1400 more than in the preceding Congress, and 26S joint resolutions.or 5 more than in the Forty-ninth Congress. Committee reports have been made to the number of 4,154. In the Senate 3,998 bills and 144 joint resolutions have been introduced, against 3,357 bills and 11S resolutions dur ing the Forty-ninth Congress,which broke all previous records in this respect. Tain in this world is an undoubted reality. It visits all, and, though it bears greater an guish to some than to others, all feel its tortur ing touch. Tain meets man as he enters the world, follows him though life, and leaves him not until his heart grows still in death. It attends us as a dark angel wherever we go, through all seasons of the year, and through every period of our life. LOSIWJti (first Stroet to day, a pocket book, containing $1,13, Koturn to J. A.

The Benton Leader says it does not de fend the extravagance of the late legisla ture. Here U what the Leader said : "The total appropriations of the session were a little over $900,000. This may seem pretty large, and a good deal of fuss has been made over the alleged "extravagance" of the legislature that adjourned recently ; but the total appropriations do not reach so large a sum as the session of 18S5, and the general appropriation bill of this session Is only $38,000 larger than that of 18S7." Now let people judge for themselves whether the Leader defends the extrava gance of the legislature. If the Leader did not desire to break the force of public dis approval of the late legislature why does it go so far as to say that the appropriations do not reach so large a sum at the session of 1885, when In fact the appropriations this year are r.ear $ioo,ocomore than they were in 1R85, I.IGUT BREAKING. The farmers of Pennsylvania are mak ing very loud and emphatic complaints about the miserable condition into which agriculture in that state has drifted. They declare that their lands are constantly de preciating In value, that farm products are sold at a price less than the cos? of produc tisn, that the prices of what they have to buy keeps up at former rates while all they have to sell is going down, that the num ber of farms sold under the hammer under foreclosure of mortgage or for taxes is In creasing alaimlngly. And all this occurs right in Pennsylvania where manufactur ing it carried on more extensively than In any other state of the union.and where pro tection is said to furnish the farmer with a market for all he produces. Here is an eye-opener for the Oregon farmer. The farmers of Pennsylvania have submitted to the onorous and unjust exactions of ur tariff laws under the most solemn assurances from the friends of "protec tion," that it would be the meant of afford lng them a market for all they could pro duce. No-, after twenty years of trust In the blessings that were to be showered up on them as a result of the '-protective sys tem" they find it all the merest chimera, a delusion and a snare. Many of these farm ers are so blinded, however,by the promis ed blessings of "protection" that they now propose to apply It to the competition which they have to meet In the produc tions of the farmers of the Northwest. Hence they demand tuch legislation at will compel railroads to make rates more favor able to them, or rather more unfavorable to the farmers of the Northwest, In erder that they may have complete control of the produce market of that state. But what will the farmers of the Northwest think of this ? Have they not borne the burden of heavy tariff taxation In order that they might have "home maiket" in Pennsylva nia f T ill they not at once conclude that if this market is to be taken from them by the "protectionists" of Pennsylvania, that then there will be no longer any reason why they should submit to heavy tariff taxation without even a promise of any of Its blessings In return f But the farmers of Pennsylvania, as of many other states, arc deluded and deceived by this siren sons of 'protection," and they will never find an antidote for the Ills which beset them until they shall have broken the cordt of en chantment which this "protection"chlmera has wound around them.
