Daily Democrat
A CRA!K.
In all avocations in life i to be found
the crank. In religion he t'alkt abroad
disturbing the equanimity of the devoted.
candid followers of the meek and lowly
ne, and.in fact In all the business, social
and political relations of life this eccentric
specimen of the genus horn makes himself
Tldiculous by his idiosyncrasies and hob
bies in and by which he seems to live and
III jve and have h!s peculiar Being. No
man presents to the public eve a more
perfect- similie of the above pictu-e than
the editor of the Oregon ZfrWc. He is a
crank of the first wa'er on the subject of
high tariff." He now wants every dem
ocrat holding a federal office to be dis
charged at once if he is a tariff reformer
cr ''free fader," as this crank calls every
democrat who does not bow the suppliant
knee to the god of "protection." To him
it matters not how competent and efficient
such democrat may be, if he is in favor of
reducing .var tas, then this rickety gon
falonier of the "pretection" devotees of
Baker county would bring down the gui'
lotine and take off his head inslanter. The
very thought that a man who believes thit
the best interests of this country demands
that salt, lumber, coal, jjte sacks, binuing
twine or other articles should be placed on
the free list, or that tariff rates should be
lowered on them, should be fouid hand
ling mail for the public, or serving papers
as a United States Ma'shal. or conducting
the routine, ministerial duties of a United
States land otfice, however well he may be
otherwise fitted for his station, is sufficient
to fill the little soul of this harvest-lord
with the gravest apprehensions for the
safety of the republic. And he recom
mends that heroic treatment should be at
once and without delay resor ed to in or
der to save the country that of inglorious
ly bouncing every such democrat from
office without reference 'o his fitness to do
the work of his station. Fbnnigan-like
Hursh wants to know what we are here
for. His highest conception of the good
attending party success is the gathering in
of the spoils, and if there are not o.fices
enough to go round among the faiihfrl he
would have them created for the special
benefit of the ' boys." Well every ma
chine must have a "crank," and Hursh
makes a good one.
PIONEER."
King's Valley, Or., May !4th.JiS$o.
Editors Democrat :
In the Orcgonian of April 12th was an
article on internal improvement by the
state, written by one who signs himself
Pioneer," who says a number of hard
things against the Democrat, the demo
cratic party and Governor Pennoyer. He
mentions the governor as a man of mean
Lirth, who owns a little saw mill and who
employes dagoes and saw log men to do
his work. It is very well for this up-start
republican leader now to speak meanly
and disparagingly of laboring men, but the
memories of laboring people go back a
few months to the time when republican
leaders including "Pioneer" were loudly
making the most extravagant professions
of paternal interest in the welfare of labor
ing people. But now th?t the election is
over these blatant leaders have no more
use fr us until another election rolls
around. Governor Pennoyer may be of
mean birth and Pioneer of 'noble birth."
but this has nothing to do with the fact
that the Governor is the best friend labor
people have ever had in authority in Ore
gon. "Pioneer's" sympathy is fully shown
for the Chinaman, but not an honest word
in behalf of white labore-s. I now take
pleasure in introducing to the general pub
lic this "Pioneer," this man who does not
like the governor because he is of "mean"
birth, this "nob!e"-birth man who attempts
to abuse the Democrat because it boldly
and fearlessly stands for the people and
their rights against the hungry horde of
tax-caters that hung around Salem like
carrion crows last winter, this man who so
flippantly denounces all men as "kickers,'
who have the courage to stand between
the people and the swarms of voracious
cormorants and hungry mendicants that
would eat up the substance of honest peo
ple, this man whose only complaint, in
fact, is that he was "kicked" out of the
office of railroad commissioner by the gov.
ernor because his services were of no
earthly value to the people George Wag
goner. Mr. Editor, this is written by one
who worked for George Waggoner last
winter,ind knows w hereof he speaks whin
he says that he wrote the article signed
Pioneer" and published in the Oregoman
of April lith. He read the article to his
family at his home in my presence. 1
know from personal experience .hat Wag
goner is a:i enemy of labor people.

And now the advocates of protection
gravely tell us that our present y'em of
tariff does not teem to reduce the impor
ts ion of tet ,i!e fabrics. Ia it possible that
we have been living in darkness on this
ubject for a hundred yea- ? Here we
have hd a protective tariff during the en
tire life of the government, and have been
piospering as no na:ion never did before
and ccedi.ing all this prospe 'ty to the
beneficent effect of our pio.er'ive tariff,
a.id now at this la'.e day we are inist.ned
and by pioicc.iot.ists at thai, that our tariff
does not reduce impotta-ioa and the fig
ures to prove the proposr.oa are given
thu; Theimpoii; in iSJ3 amoun.ed to
$730,202,937, whl'e in iSS5they amounted
'o $607,721, ijS. Well then if the protec
tion theory is evploded why not consent
now 'o reduce the ariff ? Or do the f' 'ends
of protection want 'o increase the tariff
with the hope of making it protective. So
it seems that protection does not protect
after all. Judging by the present price of
wool one can come to no other conclusion
1 he .leKJiVdrtvdec l.s .lie p ac.ice lately
coming in.o vogue cf osrl throughoat the
valley "booming" themselves by advertising in
papers published in other than the "booming"
town. It claims that the pilncin'.e of "protcc-
t'on should ae made to ap?ly in this matter
and that the people of a town should advei iise
in their own local paper and not in the Orer.
onion and other papers as some towns have
been doing. Now we suppose that this would
be all light so far as the Maurja:.ecr is con
cerned if the ptoplc of ihe Di:!cs weic going
to airenise their town, bat we feel quite sure
that that other pur-blind "protection" piper
the Oreffomau will lgorousljr pro est against
this very reasonable application of the p.mcip-
les of "protection as taught by these wo.ship
ers at the shrme of the god of p.otec ion. A
false doctrine always comes back to pester and
annoy him who propagates it.
