KNIUlITSOFIi VBOK VS REPUBLICANS,
A dispatch from Philadelphia says:
General Maitei Workman Powderly, of the
Knights of Labor, tonight made public
lengthy statement regarding the controversy
over the empleymeat of plate piinters, lie
begins with the assertion that the itatementi
credited to secretary Foster are entirety and
unqualifiedly false. The secretary has stated
that the matter was not subject of discussion
at Mansfield between Senator Sherman, Major
McKinley and himself. Towderly asserts the
matter was discussed at Mansfield, and that
settlement was advised. Towderly holds proof
of this over McKinleys signature. June 30
Secretary Foster concluded an argument with
Messrs Devlin & Cavanagh to restore the dis
charged men, and even went so far as to write
a letter to one of them, embodying the agree
ment. That letter, Powderly says, he holds
According to Devlin's memoranda, the terms
were:
That the seven men dropped from the rolls
in the plate printing department shall be re
stored to their farmer places, or places of
eriual importance and pay, and shall be treated
who inc same mimes, ami cuuftiucruiiuu a
the other plate printers by the chief and assist
ants In the bureaus. That four of them shall
be restored witLin ten days, and the others
within two weeks from date.
Just as the knights were congratulating them
selves upon the happy termination of the
trouble, a committee .of plate printers was
called in by Meredith, The card which pre
ceded them said:
"A delegation from the Gompers federation
of labor desires to be heard before an agree
ment is arrived at with the Knights ot Later
Continuing, Powderly in his statement sars
These men have been drilled by Meredith
as to their speech and conduct while deliber
ating with the secretary, but Meredith forgot
to tell them the name of the organization t'tiey
were 6npposed to repiesent, and gave the
name of an association that does not exist.
Alter a short interview with this committee
the secretary turned to Devlin and said, 'If
there is to be a fight with this organization or
yours I dont know Dut I had better fight yours,
Devlin retorted that the Knights of Labor
could do some fighting themselves, and called
Secretary Fosteis attention to the fact he had
concluded an agreement, but Foster said he
would have to send for Gompers before he
could arrive at a further understanding of the
case, The advices of Secretary Foster have
influenced him to so act as to give the contro
versy such a coloring as to create the impress-
iou that it Is a struggle between the labor
organizations. Such is not the case. Foster
has an undoubted rit;ht to consult with Gom
pers if he pleases, but the fact still remains
that none of the men involved belong to any
organization but the Knights of Labor,
"SOUK MCKINLEY PRICES."
The Ortgrian under the above caption
recites that one assistant Secretary Bus-
scy, (whoever he Is,) Informs the public
that bid 1 for contracts tor furnishing goods
and supplies for the Indians are put at
lower figures than they were before the
pa-sage of the McKinley bill, and urges
this fact to show that prices have not ad
vanced since the passage of that bill . The
Oregomun cites the fact that eight pound
pair of blankets re now offered for $3,31
that cost $3.36 a year ago. Now, does that
paper for a single moment pretend to say
that this follows as a result of the passage
ol the McKinley bill? Let us see. The
duty on the eight pound pair of blankets
before the passage of the McKinley bill
was $2.60. McKinley raised the duty on
the same blankets from $.6o to $3.So,
The placing of such a duty would natur
ally limit the supply of blankets in this
country, and limiting the supply of an ar
ticle ordinarily Increases the price, "ence
the difference In the price at which these
blankets are now offered compared with
the price of a year ago Is attributable either
to the fact that the manufacturer obtained
his wool cheaper since than before the
passage of the McKinley bill or that he
has reduced the wages of his employes
and can thus sell cheaper. The O'coni
an can chrose either horn of the dilemma.
To attribute the increase In the price of
of flour, pork and beef to the McKinley bill
Is the unabashed act of the demagogue.
It Is too thin. The farmer can be no
longer deceived by such nonsense.
Mr Blaine resembles his presidential boom
to the extent that he is said to le gaining
strength daily, lie is taking life easily at
Bar llarhor He goes out driving everyday
takes a regular amount ol exercise, has a food
appetite and seems greatly to enjoy his free
dom from official cares. Occasionally he
imagines that he is going to have an attack of
illness, but that is a weakness he has had for
many years.
The TtUscoft claims that Jeff Myers says
McKinley is not a man of ability,
Jeff My era says McKinley is not the man of
ability he had been led to believe he was.
Gentlemen and ladies df the commonwealth
of Oregon, you pays your money, you takes
your choice. Singular.
If the republicans cairy both Ohio and
Iowa this fall, it will be no more than they
did last fall when they carried both states.
Fortmiller & Irving have soma Kanait
anue Iscecuitains fur $18 a pair, as tineas
anything ever seen in thn r.ity. Thty
range down to $7 a pair. Other lace cur.
tmlas dowu to $1 01 less a pair.
IIOMEHAItKETS,
The Sclo Prut approvingly npprprlates
the arguments of some "exchange" In
favor of the so called "home market"
theory nut forward as an excuse for the
imposition of a high tariff tax on foreign
importations. Time and time again has
this home market theory been shown to be
a humbug. "Home market for farm pro
ducts" has been the shibboleth of repub
llcan protectionists for years So far as
the home market for wheat, corn, oats,
beef and pork, which constitute the main
surplus In farm products, are concerned
our farmers now and ' have always
controlled this market and have always
had a large surplus to tend to foreign
markets. We are continually told that the
home mat ket is better than a foreign. This
is true only when our farmers do not have
more than enough tn supply the home de
mand. When they have a surplus above
the amount necessary to supply the home
demand, the foreign demand or market is
a God-send, a better market always than
the home market would be without the
foreign market. Does not the Vwsknow
that the price of wheat In the home mar
ket Is. always regulated by the market of
Liverpool? A speculator buvlng v.heat
to supply the home market will not ordi
narily pay any more than he who buys
to supply the foreign market. And if It
were not for the foreign market the price
of our wheat would still rule lower. The
"home market" scheme Is an exploded
humbug.
