It is very evident that the next presiden tial campaign will be fought on the issue of protection and free trade Mountainttr. We repeat the question heretofore asked the Mountaiuetr as to it meaning of the term "free trade." Republican papers al most uniformly decline to define the term "free trade" as used by theni.and thus shott' a lack of candor about the matter. As po litely at we know how we ask tht Moun tains to define the term '-fiee trade," as used above by it. The weekly Democrat of Albany, Or., has entered upon its twenty-sixth year. Twenty-six years of continuous life to a newspaper in a new state like Oregon is something for the owner to be proud over, even though their paper was not one quarter as ably handled as the Democrat. Latirande Journal, Thanks,gentlemen. We hope the Jour nal and the writer will live long enough to see the for-ner arrive nt the dan of its twenty sixth year. Why is it that some people seem to think tSat the sole aim and object of a newp,ipcr man's life is Id boom his fellow men and live upon the knowledge that he isdoin good in the world ? An editor's rpace is his stock in trade, it is worth so much and it generally sold foi a very small per cent of its actual value. A banker makes his living by using his money. How would it look for any well-to-do bucine man to run into the bmk occasionally and ask for a quarter ? Curious feelings w ould promenade througn the brain of the aver age man were one of his wealthy neighbor to come into his 6tore and ask for a sack of flour ac a personal favor. Yet the average newspaper man takes pleasure in giving his patrons an occasional puff. It is when he i censured fcr not blowing up some man who says that money spent in advertising is money thrown a-vay,that pa tience ceases to be a virtue, aud his habitual reserve and modesty falls from him like chaff before the whirlwind as it were. It is very funny, thinks an Eastern jour nal, to notice the republican claim that the llritiih gold that is being put Into Ameri can enterprises comes because of the eon tidence and favor with which British cap. lullsts regard the system of high protec tion in this country. Haven't we been told for years that streams of Rritish gold were flowing Into the t'nitcd States 10 bribe American voters into voting fer free trade ? And now it seems that it is not in the interest of f ree trade, but In the Intcrot of high protection that British gold is com ing here ! Alas 1 what become of the re publican campaign thunder of former years ? What of the British gold Cobden spook ? wr.i.i. SAID. E G Harsh, of Baker City, has been ap pointed a special "pension examiner," rather a small thing in name for the amount of extreme organ grinding and political misrepresenting that Ilui.h has done ; yet he may do well at it If any. body in this part of the country was in the war.or in siht or hearing of it, or had any relatives who were sergeants, or.ut. lers, or anything of that sort.or had a corn on his big toe anywhere along in the six ties, and ha been a good republican and will promise to continue o be so, let him put in hie 'aim at once for a pension and full "arrears.
