DOIiPH CALLED TO ACCOUNT.
The CorvslHs Times calls upon
Senator Dolph to be a little more
consistent. It Bays as follows:
"You have just introduced a bill
in the sennte asking that machin
ery for the state of Oregon be ad
mitted free of duty. How iB this,
Senator? Vou md your jiarty pro
fess to believe and you have repeat
edly proclaimed from the stump
iu this .state, that the foreign man
ufacturer, and not the consumer,
pays the duty, Your bill, Senator,
gives the lie to your profession of
faith and shows that you not only
believe, but know, that if your bill
fails to become a law the state of
Oregon will have to pay the duty.
It is a clear admission, sir, that the
consumer in every case, and that
the foreign mauufaccurer in no
case, pays the duty. And now,
Senator, since you are compelled to
admit that it is good for the state
of Oregon to eecape import duty on
her jute mill machinery, will you
not also admit that it would be
equally good for her toiling, plod
ding citizens to likewise escape the
same dreadful tariff tax which is
extorted from them every day in
4he week and every hour in the
day? You are not honest, Senator.
TV day that you introduced that
bill you admitted the insincerity of
your political faith.
"Now there iB one way open that
you can tread in safety. Add an
other section to your bill. Let it
provide that all necessities of life
h al! be admitted into the United
tates free of duty. Then buy a
VTiitcratic rooster and nail it to
' Vown of your plug hut and for
' a your life be consistent. If
ifuse to do this, sit down and
for "tit rest of your term keep
tjuiet. Be content to warm your
seal and draw your salary. Don't
on any account get up again, lest
ynu muke another break that will
brinv the blush of shame to the
.cheek of your party."
COMPROMISE.
It rains pretty hard in Oregon
sometimes, and we are often justi
fied in complaining about the mud,
but Kansas cyclones, and Louisiana
tidal wuves are strangers here.
That's saying a good deal, too.
Oregon pine is pronounced su
perior to that of Califomis for the
manufacture of turpentine. The
extraction of turpentine, fir-balsam
and wood tar is an important in
dustry that we of Oregon should
not neglect.
Fifty to one hundred big Cali
fornia, Eastern and foreign insur
ance companies making war upon
our little Oregon company, does
not look like a fair tight; but the
Oregon company seems entirely
equal to the occasion, and is setting
the pace for the big concerns com
bined into a trust against it.
The brutal practice in the Brit
ish army, of firing mutineers from
the mouth of a cannon has again
been resorted to in India. Years
ago it was instrumental in quelling
an outbreak among the Sepoys.
This time it is likely to provoke
an uprising of the natives against
British tyranny.
One of Albany's most prosperous
business men paid the Express a
high compliment this week. He
said: "I have advertised to a large
extent in all the papers in the
county, and have found the Ex
press the best advertising medium
for my business, of them all." That
man wbb W. F. Read.
An exchange remarks that the
people who need more religion are:
The man who lets his horse stand
.all day in the rain, without a blan
ket; the man who growls like a
beast with a sore head when his
wife oskB him for money; the wom
an who whispers around that some
other is not what she ought to be;
the preacher who is always looking
for an easier place at a higher sala
ry; the man who walks the streets
with his hands in bis pockets while
his wife carries the baby, and the
man who keeps a dog and says he
can't afford to take the home paper.
After weeksof weary deliberation
the Senate finds itself no further
advanced toward the silver qlWs
tiiui than when it first started. In
fact the breach between silver and
gold has steadily widened until it
geems that the vital forces of the
country will be crushed between
the great rival money standards.
The people have wearied of the
question, and are beginning to look
upon the Senate as a useless and
pernicious branch of our- govern
ment. Of the many compromise plans
suggested, the latest and probably
the liest is that introduced by Sen
ator Fqtiire, of Washington, on the
into i.t. This bill provides that
the owners of silver bullion, the
product of mines or refineries of
the United States, may deposit it
at anv mint in an amount not less
th;tn 1100 in value, to be coined
into standard dollars of the present
weight. There will only be paid
to the person depositing the bullion
Rn 'h a number of dollars as, will
equal the commercial value of the
silver bullion on the day of depos
it, the ditiereiice between the com
fuercial value and the mint value
to be retained by the government
as seigniorage. Deposits of bullion
for coinage shall not exceed ?i,lX)U,
00 per month, and when the num
ber of silvor dollars coined shall
reach the sum nf 100,000,000, fur
titer coinage shall cease. The
seigniorage shall be retained in the
treasury as a reserve fund for the
DurDose of maintaining the purity
of every dollar issued under this
act. These silver dollars are to be
(legal tender in all payments at full
value, and no certificates will be is
sued to represent them.
The Examiner shvm: Wells, Fargo
& ('o., the corporation that has for
nearly half a century held eoiitH of
the express business of this coast, may
bave a competitor in the field before
the beginning of the new year. With
in the next forty-five days thecontract
of Wells, Fargo & Co. with the South
ern Pacific company will expire, and
balf a dozen express companies, In
cluding the Adams Express Company,
will bid for the privilege of the line
controlled by the Southern Pacific
Company.
The bill to repeal the Federal
election law was passed on the 10th
inst. bv a strict party vote, amid
enthusiastic applause by the dem
ocrats.
