THE DAILY DEMOCRAT.
A DUjKMMA.
Before the election republican newspa
pers and republican speakers, on all occas
ions, warned the people that the real issue
was the tariff. Democrats, when speaking
hopefully of the piospective election of
Tennover were told that hat was the Uue
and that they might settle down to the
conclusion that the people of 'Oregon
would not elect a "free trade" governor,
and that INrnnoyei being a "free trader"
would be snowed under just like Gcarin
was two year ago. Thompson announced
just before he started on hU canvas that
the tariff would be the real issue, and that
he was then convinced that the people of
Oregon would never elect a "free trade
governor. Well thi election came off and
the people elected this "free trade'1 gover
nor by 4,000 majority in a state where the
republican majority Is seven or eijjhl
thousand. Now what do we see? Why,
these same papci s and speakers are laboi Ing
manfully, day by day, to prove that the
tariff issue was not before the people at all.
The OrfgCNutn says it was not and others
are doing likewise. Most of them, how
ever, say that the tariff had nothing to do
in the election of governor, but every
thing to do in the election of congressman.
The brethren are In an awkward dilemma
on this subject, meanwhile, the campaign
of education is Joing its effective work as
will more clearly appear in the election
returns from the several states this fall.
THE rt.NMU.S ol n.OUIv.
According to th Treasury statement for M.iy
the pension payments in the eleven months of
the fiscal year have amounted 105103,177,727.
If only the average is maintained for J urn. the
cost of te list for the year will be over $112.
000,000. This is a fact which should lead Congress to
pause in its works of adding to this enormous
total. Either the Sen-ice Tension Kill of the
House or the Dependent Tension Hill of the
Senate would increase the expenditures on this
account beyond the cost of the largest standing ,
army in the world. And the worst feature of
the matter is that It is a continuing expense,
It mortgages fche revenues of the future for a
full generation. Reckless extravagance for
one year might be sustained, but to enact legis
ation which means excessive taxation for
twenty or thirty years is a serious blew at the
prosperity of the country.
The cost of pensions for this year will exceed
by more than $So,ooo,ooo the expense of the
list ten yea s after the close of the war, when
h should naturally have reached its maximum.
Each of the bills in dispute embodies a wrong
principle of pensions, in addition to being reck
lessly extravagant. It would be a good thing
if the deadlock should defeat both.
A WVEISM K.
The decent delay of the Tariff Bill for con
sideration in the Senate is deprecated by a
Protection journal on the giound that H will
"give the Democratic organs an opportunity to
keep up the tariff agitation,"
Lay not theMattering unction to your soul
that the passage of the McKinley 15 ill would
put an end to "tariff agitation." It would
make that agitation more active than it has
been in fifty years.
The notion that tins question will be settled
by a law increasing the war duties in every
schedule save one imposing taxes from too
to 250 per cent on many articles of clothing ,in.l
burdening nearly all the necessaries of the peo
ple is really too absurd.
With the McKinley Till passed or pcnJingi
the tariff will be the main issue in the Congres
sional elections this year. It embodies a new
irrepressible conflict.
The latest report states that twenty one oh
serratories are now engaged i the internation
al undertaking of photographing the entire
heavens. Each observatory wdl have to take
about 700 pho'ographs in the zone assigned to
it, and it is hoped to finish the work in three
or four years
The new republican tariff bill takes about
$9,000,000 per annum off the tobacco tax and
adds over 15,000,000 to the woolen goods.
Ought not the woikingman with a large family
rejoice with excteding great jcy that the tariff
is in the hands of its friends?
The same American plough that is sold in
Iowa for $0 75 is sold in Mexico for $5 57.
The Iowa farmer is "com tensated" however
by a protective tax against the importation of
the wheat heexpoitste Knp,land,

Senator Plumb, of Kansas, unlike his
colleague, Ingalls teems to be getting his
eves opened. In speaking the other day
in favor of free coinage of silver he thus
reffered to the McKinley tariff bill :
"The senate was appea'ed to yeterdav
bv the senator from New York tlliscockV
attains: the bill In the sacred name of pro
t eta ion. Silver was an American product,
a much larger product than many others
whicn were to bf protected by duties of
ioo or 3'jo per c;nt. under the t u itl hill.
lie would like to ask the senator from
New Voik. who was so anxkuis about
foreign commerce, what he intended to do
with the tariff bill, which would prevent
the Lnited States from having nnv torei
commerce. lie hoped he mit;ht interpret
the senator s remarks on t'at point ts
hopeful auiiurv of the action of that senator
in puttinii his knife into the bill now be
fore the finance committee; a bill rvhich
would raise the p-iceof nearly everything
used by the masses ol the people.
Thus do we find another republican

Having v..ted solidly in congress against
free sugar, the democrats are now voig

Capital Jourtt tl.
The Journal is two reckless hi i's state
ments. If it means by "free silver," the
free and unli-r.it ed coinage of silver then
does it misrepresent the democrats in con
gress as they labored to amend the Win-
dom bill so as to secuie free silver while
thev were outvoted by the republicans,
lietter ask what Is becoming of the repub
lican party anyhow?
