Daily Democrat
WROUGHT UP.
The Benton Leader's feelings are highly
wrought up because the members of the
legislature from Linn county did not vote
for the measures in the late legislature by
which over a hundred thousand dollars
was needlessly and extravagantly squan
dered. The Leader's words mean tills, that
the Linn county members should have
gone to the Benton county and other mem
bers and said : " Now, you vote for my bill
and I will vote for yours ; you tickle me
and I will tickle you." This seems to be, in
the estimation of the Leader, the strongest
and best motive by which legislation can
be secured In the legislature. The Leader
should know that there are many men who
will not thus sacrifice all of manhood in
order to secure a paltry appropriation. It
also should knew that the representatives
of Linn were elected to represent the tax
payers of Linn, and not the tax-squanderers
of the state. It seems to have no con
ception of the danger to the state of form
ing combinations among and by members
of the legislature whereby a liberal appro
priation is made from the treasury of the
state to be expended in some way for the
benefit of the constituency of each of the
members who enter into the combination.
It seems utterly blind to the fact that if
this policy of "I'll tickle you if you'll tickle
me' were followed to a fair conclusion it
would completely bankrupt the state at
each session of the legislature. Let us see:
We believe the Leader boasted a few days
ago that Benton county received between
$35,000 and $40,000 in appropriations.That
county pays $12,909.57 state tax.thus receiv
ing back from the atate treasury three times
as much as it pays into the treasury. There
is no earthly reason why Linn county .-hould
not receive as liberal appropriations as
Benton, if they are to be granted upon tne
"I'll-tickle you if-you'U-tickle me" policy.
Suppose the members of the legislature
from every county in the state should enttr
into such a "combine" to secure these"lib.
eral" appropriations ; where would the
money come from to pay the ordinary ex
penses of the state government ? There
would be none and bankruptcy and ruin
would ensue. The day will come when
the tax payers of the 6tate will recognize
the obligation they are under to the mem
ben of Linn county who stood on the
watch towers of the state citadel and warn
ed them of the danger of the so called pol
icy which the "combine" attempted to fast
en upon the state.
LX-PRESIDEN'T CLEVELAND.
He is now ex-President Cleveland.
He was an honest President.
He was a brave President.
He was a President who did his duty as
he saw it,regardless of consequences to his
party or himself.
He was a President who was four years
ahead of his times.
He was the first President since the war
who was President of the whole country,
and realized that there werethirty-eighth
loyal states in this Union.
"He was a man, take him for all in all, we
shall not losk upon his like again."
At least, not for four years.
The cotton mill lords at Fall River re
ject all overtures looking to a settlement of
the grievances of their striking operatives.
They will neither confer or arbitrate. En
riched by fat dividenas in the past, protected
against foreign competition by the tariff
and sure f no abatement of their bounties
for "four years more," they simply turn to
their pleasures and wait for "protected
American labor" to be starved into submis
sion. Such education ought to educate
with great vehemence.
Wanamaker is a high protectionist as
well as boodler. A New York dealer thus
shows up this fraud: "We pay on this
side from $t to $3 each for the labor on
our cloaks. Wanamaker pays.as shewn by
the World,trom twelve to eighty-five cents
for the same labor in Germany ,and is able
to sell at retail for just about the same
price it costs us to manufacture the article,
and then make a good profit." This is the
way he employs in Germany "cheap foreign
labor." The hypocrite 1

HOW IT WOKKS,
The High Protective system is bringing forth
legitimate fruit. In eight days after Hsnison
takes his seat there are strikes and failures
among the manufacturing interests in several
sections of the country and now in Mass
achusetts right at the center of wealth and
prosperity there is a great strike and the wheels
of fifty mills stand still and six thousand weav
ers go idle all the day. They ask for better
pay. The Plutocrats who roll in riches have
made their great fortunes out of the War Tariff
of 47,10 per cent. The workingmen ask for
more d.-iv because thev are taucht bv the Pro
tection bosses that the Tariff is land for the I
workingmen. They, therefore, ask for some
metallic expression of the fact, but the Cotton
Lords kick and shut down and thousands upon
thousands have theii supplies cut off. And
this is the way the blessed War Tariff works
It enriches the Boss but turns out to grass the
