Editor Democrat:
If the many honest republicans will only
keep their eyesopcn.they will notice from
time to time, admissions made by repub
lican lecders and journals, that well illus
trate the hollow pretenses of the republi
can party leaders of ts day. For Instance,
the Ortgonian in an editorial of recent
date severely abused the farmers, and
took occasion to say that the scheme of
Senator Stanford for the government to
loan money to the farmers on their lands
was unjust and clas6 legislation, and fur
ther 6tated that Senator Stanford oweshis
eighty millions of money to the sfecitl
class legislation that has enabled him as
well as many others to accumulate money
by methods corrupt and dishonest.
Now light here Is an admission one
which admits a truth lang claimed by the
democratic party, to wit: that the republi
can party by its class legislation, enacted
by it during the last twenty five years, at
the dictation of capital and in the interest
of a favored few, is directly responsible for
the existence of such millionaires as Sena
tor Stanford, who, the Ortgonian says, has
been enabled to acquire great wealth by
means of corrupt and special legislation .
It must be remembered though that when
election times roll around the Oregonian
with the other republican journals.are very
ready to call on their allies the monopo
lists, tariff protected industries, trusts, and
such capitalists as Senator Stanford
with the suggeston to all such, that they
. must contribute a part of tluir wrongly ac
qaired gains to that party which created
and stands by them, that is, the grand old
party of Lincoln, which has now degener
ated so far from Us first principles as to
claim the light to fry the fat out of the
tariff protected capitalists of the country.
If the toiling, hones' masses of the repub
lican party who are still voting "for Lin
coln and a prosecuton of the war" could
only find time to brush the cob-webs from
their eyes, and Rip Van Winkle like, real.
ize that the party of Lincoln and loyalty
had drifted from its earlier mooring into
the strong grasp of monopolists and the
stockholders of tariff protected combines -if
they, the farmers,and laborereof the re
publican party would but read the effects
of the spaci.il legislation and the imposi
tion of the high tariff on their business,
they would turn In disgust from the party
whese poliilcal key notes are sounded by
the favored few who, controlling the re
publican party, seek to make the laboring
pscple believe that capital is not yet ready
to take care of Itself but still needs that
fostering care produced by a protective
tariff which makes the rich only the richer
and the poor but the pocrerstHl.
Another instance is that of our esteemed
friends of the Albany "Herald" who in the
Issue of sibt instant under the head
"foicign Immigration" said the restriction
of foreign "would also supplement the
wholesome operation of the protective
tariff in maintaining the high standards of
American labor" and in the same article
says "for the unskilled laborers who crowd
to America and by their wlllingnew to
work fur a pittance depress the wages of
Air.eiican mechanics." Now tl.e last
statement is a truth which the democratic
partv has maintained for the last twenty
five years and longer, and the republican
partv is just now admitting the truth of it
and ncxt thing will be claiming that the
doctrine started with that party. It U a
known fact that during the whole existence
of the republican party at lease since t,e
war that the creatures of that party by
special legislation have acquired wealth
from preying on the unprotected classes,
and openly for years, until stopped by the
democratic contract labor law, Imported
Into this country foreign pauper labor.and
discharging American workmen put In
their places In the large protected indus
tries of this country these same foreign
paupers.
That Is but one instance of the many
special franchises, giants and licenses that
have been bestowed by paid legislative
hirelings of monopolists upon the favored
wealthy of this country under the disguise
of republicanism.
gjThe fuel is that under the republic
system almost every combination of capl
tal has asked and received some favored
class Icglslal ion, tariff or otherwise. There
Is too much governmental taxation for the
aid of private enterprise. Even a great
many of the substitutes and roustabouts
In the service of the union during the war
believe that the whole country should be
taxed to pension them for doing w hat all
should have done, and many failed to do,
viz: their dutv. It Is right to pension every
honorably discharge! Union soldier who
received actual wounds 01 injurics.or con
tracted disease while In the line of July
,,.! the volunteer soldier asks for no
more, but those chionles who went into
.,.. .nr mi! llirOHL'h loVC of COUlltrV . Illlt
because of money and bounties offered
them, are the main ones who are loudeit
in the cry that the government owes them
a living, and to all such, as the Oiegonian
admitted the other, it is lime to cry halt.
The loyal brave the patriotic volunteer,
regardless of politics and Influenced only
by a love of country are the ones who
saved this Union and not hired substitutes,
coffee coolers, pension agents nor the re
publican party either, for the loyal repub
licans could no more have saved the Un
ion without the assistance of the hundreds
of thousands of loyal democrats, than a
human being could cause the sun to cease
shining on this terrestrial sphere, and that
old frivolous claim that the people owe a
debt of gratitude to the republican party
for doing only their duty Is not believed
In by the patiiotic young men who believe
it is the duty of every citiien of this re
public to fight for this Union because ol
country and not because . of a hope cf
money, pensions or any reward except that
knowing that they have done their duty,
a thing the government has the light to
expect regaidless of any obligation of
bounties or pensions. Youis truly.

Mrs Davis was only 13 yearB of age. As
a license cannot be issued to a person

false swearing.

institution has done a great deal for

been half shown because the interest it
deserves has rot been given it.
