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.

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.
