,"We have heard tha belief expressed
that the farmers and laborers of Jack
son county are so poor in spirit that
they will be too cowardly to stand by
the Peoples' Party and their principles
When the party whip is flourised and
fh corrupt path of the old parties is
wheeled around to them. To all such
as entertain such false ideas there is a
revelation in store. " This movement
does not depjnd upon agitation; there
rri.fftV been no haste or enthusiasm.
Etery step nas oeen ine resun oi euuea

rened judgement. Like the grip of the
fitoe, it is slow, but, oh, so surely bring
ing the powir of an Injured people to
bear upon corrupt political rings, which
f-nrst give place to justice and right.
Such being tne case, it can not oe siue
tracked by sham battles or by false
friends; the issue must be met and met
fairly. And those ' vho doubt either
the wisdom or sincerity of the great
common people to stand by their plat
form and elect men upon it next June
and November will learn something as
time progresses. Wait and see. .
SOME OE THE REMEDIES FOR
. : THE DEBT. " "
Pirst we must have a constitutional
invention;" aud why thi3 constitu'.
Lional convention? So as to amend' the
of 8 per cant, amounting to the sum of
$12,000 annually,' we would only pay-3
or 4 per cant interest with an annual
saving to the county of six or seven
thousand dollars. Now, iu ordeiv to
procure this convention we must have
men go to the legislature with the
ability . to do service, and not only
men of ability, but honest men men
with some stamina and force of con
viction to carry out vhatthcy baliove
to ba tha bast intarosfcsof the people.
Then again, we must have our state
laws so ninendsd as to reduce the fees
in all fee offices, and thoy will boar
definite reduction. No county in the
sUvts of Oregon pays larger foes than
Juckson and very few pay as much.
A very plain examplo of the feo out
rage b that of the sheriff of Jackson
county putting 111 a bill of so many
folios of writing for giving tax-payers
a recoipt for their taxes amounting to
a grand total of several hundred dol
lars,, or about ton cents for each re
ceipt ,'given. This exorbitant fee
gathering is a. result of the sheriff's
SUiti convention for the purpose of
united effort in capturing (?)criminals,
but the result seems to bi a closer
study of the fee law, for saltish motives
simply. The Tidings perhaps will
say, "Oh this was not our republioaa
sheriff, it was tin democrats that
mads the d jbt, aud do is the law not
allow this foa to bo collected, aud
would not you or any other man taka
all thj law allowj you?" We h ivo to
say, pirhaps, this is only too true, but
We doubt that being a legal fed very
much. Th j Times in an article of March
2-, in regard to the county debt ys
that Judge Boisj s decision only op-
plied to a special tax, which is true,
and then a little further on says that
in the face of Judge Boise's decision
it was useless to contsst, and tho bill
was ordered paid. Now this is vary
strange; who everh:ard of it bJing
useless to cantist acw in th; fa:e of n
decision by a circuit jude and that
decision have referencs tj an entirely
different case. The bill presented for
such work should have been ignored
and the pavm-jnt of it wis an ojtra a
oa an intelligent peep!?.
Tb-ja, again, admitting it to have
been in ref erence t the same case, th j
decision of a circuit judge is not su
preme, and being in another district,
would in fact have had but little bear
ing on this district, and would only
have been a decision of a circuit judge,
which is often reversed by a suprem ;
judge, which decision alone establishes
the law. Jackson county has an In
come of over tTH.OOJ annually, and give
us economy in the management of af
fairs, (we mean iu every branch, thi
circuit as well as the county court) and
it will only be a few short years when
Juckson ounty's debt will b a thing
of the past. But to do this requires
no child's play, but skillful s'-eorin
And summing up what the People's
party demands, and is geing to havo is
a constitutional convention, a reduction
of fees in all fje onl-e.s if not the
placing of all thj county officers on a
regular s:Uary.- Away with our pres
ent road systim. n-nend of the as
sessment laws: in fact, let economy be
written on every comer of our banner,
and victory is assured.
SL'B-TRE-SCKY PLAN.
A brother from O.-egon asks, ia re
gard to tho sub-treasury plan, as fol
lows: la section 4 his bill provMfd that
this moiyy shall be a full legal tender
for all debid; both public and private.
Then why i-hould the bit! provide i-i
s -ction 0 for the d .-struction not onlvof
the monfy issued, but of an other
l.iwful money returned in place of that
issued? Now if the money issued is
b.isod on the products, and other law
ful moa-.-v recoived.and d troyed and
th-3 products released, where is your"
base to ths money Issued.' l on see
your base has been" rvdeem-nl ami sold,
removed, while the money issued on it
is still in circulation nd probably an
equal amount of gold ana silver or
other lawful mon y has been cancelled
and destroyed. Th-en why base money
on any particular product? When the
lav make-i money a full legal tender
for all debts and taxes, if it was yet
b tsed on all products of tho natiou and
th;n specified, it would not mike th"
money any bettir. for if tho law was
overthrown ' by an enemy., bo'h the
mony and the title to all products
would be worthless. And again, if
money is once created and made a full
legal tender, absolute money, why de
stroy it ally Why not ray it out again,
or loan it to someone els-;? I think
money once made should never be de
stroyed. In fact, all the finaieUl dis
tress of the agricultural nnd laboring
classes of this country to-day is th ? di
rect result of the destruction of th
trreenback and the convertuicr of their
allies into nontaxable intribt-be:tring
lion is. In th last part of section 5 his
bill provides that all wurehou-e re
ceipti shall lie negotiable by indorse
ment. How this gUvs tho specnlator a
chanci to buy up warehouse receipts
and corner the products. I ' would
strike out that provision and add the
following: No warehouse receipts
shall be issued to .ny one but the
actual producer of the products, and
receipts. shall not bo transferable. I
think this change is ef great import
ance and deserves your earnest cou-
sidcratoo. I alio bali-evo the amount
of money loaned to one person should
bo limited.
It is not tho intention of tho sub
treasury plan as advocated by the
Allianca that the money Issued upon
the non-perishable products of agricul
ture should bo any peculiar money or
in any way differ from other troasury
notes which are a full legal tender
Tho reason for destroying the auxili
ary volume or its equivalent is to pre
vent a relative increase in the volume
of menoy as it Is liberated from the
products of affrioulturo by their con
sumption. If the money so liberated
was loft in circulation, tho sarao dis
crimination against agriculture which
now exists would be Continued. The
tub-treasury does not propose a new
financial system; it simply proposes a
modification of tho present system, so
fair te all, and stop the d s
iminations against agriculture which
from violen fluctua'ionR in
tho relative' volume of money. To in
crease the volume of money some other
plan will be necessary.' Of course the
only money' that would ba destroyed
under the old bill would be treasury
notes, as national bank notes and coin
certificates are a peculiar ' money and
call for a specific redemption independ
ent of th government credit. Na

CHINESE AWAIT THE DAY.
Ready to Rush iu When Pars Shall
He Down.
The Treasury Department is alarmed
at the grave and impending danger of
an overwhelming invasion of Chinese
coolies into the Pacific Coast States
from British Columbia. The Chinese
Exclusion Act expires by limitation
three weeks from the 18th, and uuless
some restrictive legislation is enactnd
in tho mean time there will be nothing
to prevent Chinaman from entering
tho Uuited States.
It is true that there is a division of
sentimeut as to tho time of the expira-
lion of tho Exclusion Act, but at the
Treasury DupnrtBvent to-day it is said
that the department will hold the law
to expire May 0th aud, of coursi, will
instruct its agent at the border in ac
cordance with this decision. Conse
quently, overy bar will be let down
aud they will swarm over the line.
Tho Chinesj Inspectors on the border
and iu British Columbia havo notified
the department that thousandsof Chi
namen who are congregating on , the
border are aware of their coming op
portunity, and will hasten to avail
themselves of it.
The Minister of Customs at Ottawa
has discovered a plot by which au or-1
giuiization in China is smuggling
nese into Canada on bogus certificates,
A large number of fraudulent certifi-
catcs have been captured, and are in ;

Rithardfon't ''Distntet of Modern Life" The action of ammonia oh tho
body is that of an irritant and it tends to hold tho blood in a stato of fluidity.
It also interferes with the process of oxidation ot organic matter so that it
becomes an antiseptic, and it rapidly decomposes that allotropic condition of
oxygen which is called ozouc. Thus ammonia present in the atmosphere,
daily respired by living beings, is injurious aud we seo its effects in the pallor

Tho question now before the house is
as to where that mill shall be located:
whether at Central Point or Medford.
TI13 power li'js in the hands of the peo
ple of Medford to say where it shall go.
Central Point has raised a thousand
dollars' bonus and given the land to
buua on. Aow. what 1 nave to say is
this: If that mill gos to central Point
then an alliance store will go there too
sure too and other stores. "Large
streams from little fountains flow."
Medford better build the mill and
jive it outright to the ailwnce.

This Mate of affairs is primarily due
to the active part taken in state politics
by the Farmers" Alliance, and to the
farmers" determination to pot in their
candidate for governor.
L'p to this time Alabama has been so
solid in its Democratic majority, aud its
people have l-cu so uearlv unanimous in
! their allceianceto the Democratic nomi
nees, a split was a thiug unheard of and
almost undreamed of.
Dnt it now seems certain that Jones,
the present governor, will go into the
Democratic convention June 8 from fifty
to seventy-five votes ahead of Renben
F. Kolb. the farmers' candidate, and

In that event the campaign will be
one of the bitterest iu the history of the
state or the south. Already the pre
liminary fight is ou in earnest, the state
is being stumped by scores of speakers,
and every county is contested as stub
bornly as though the fate of a nation
hung iu the balance. .
Duriug tho hist session of the legisla
ture the state was redistricted and the
number of congressmen increased from
eight to nine. Nothing short of a miracle
can elect a Republican, yet the Alliance
will take a hand, and in many districts
seems to hold the winning hand.
With the single exception of Congress
man Joe Wheeler, iu the Eighth district,
every member of the Ahibniaa delega
tion who stands for re-election will have
to win his seat over an Allhuico man.
President Totk for the Third Pkrty.
The organ of the North Carolina Al
liance, The Progressive Farmer, of
which President L. L. Polk is the editor,
has declared iu a recent issue for the
third party and a national ticket. The
announcement is as follows: "The Al
liance is uot so particnlar about having
its principles in a stute platform. It
wants them in a national platform,
where they will mean something. It
knows that the men who are elected
state officers cant give the needed re
lief. It knows that Washington i the
place, and tho men who go to congress
aud the national administration are the
ones it must look to, and it will do its
best to secure the election of the right
men to these places."
Treat the Movement with Iletpect.
Some pretty sensible advico to poli
ticians and Democratic papers is offered
in an editorial in a recent issne of the
Atlanta Constitution. It shows that the
third party movement commands at
least the respect of farseeing men and
thoughtful writers. The article says:
The Nashville American says there
are some reasons w hy the agricultural
classes, above all others, should culti-
rate close allegiance to the Democratic '.
party. '.'''."
The American alludes to the tariff and
class legislation of the Rcpnbiican party,
and then remarks:
"The Oeala demands are as hostile to
the Democracy of Jefferson and Jackson 2
as is Republicanism.
"What is the subtreasnry scheme but
an open violation of the constitution,
the twin sister in principle of the force
bill?
"Government ownership of the rail
roads and the telegraph are the logical jrs.
sequences of Republican principles.
"These and sundry like measures ad
vocated by the Fanners' Alliance would,
if adopted, subvert and destroy all con
stitutional guarantees and safeguards,
change the very nature of onr institu
tions, and in the end substitute for state
authority the despotic dominion of the
general government."
This is a poor way to conciliate the
farmers and convince them that they
should stick to the Democracy.
The fact is. this is not a fair statement
of the situation. The Ocala demands
are not undemocratic, and they are not
unconstitutional. Government owner
ship of railroads is not one of the Ocala
demands. Government control and su- jm
pervision of railroads was asked for ax .
the Ocala conference.
The Alliance men know the history of
onr government and they know that it
has more than once loaned money tocor
pomlions and individuals, and sometimes
without interest and with no reasonable
prospect of being repaid. They know,
too. that the currency should te a me-
dium of exchange for the people, and
not be parceled out to nanoaal bamcs
oniJor wMch ny
amot to the financial .outlawry of the
farmers.
In view of these facts The American
should abandon its licy of talking
down the Alliance men. Just such talk
has already driven Democrats into the
third party. The new organization is
the result of the bulldozing methods of
certain Democrats who have threatened

Why We rrvtrst-
Representative V. 1. Hatch, of Mis
souri, in a recent letter oa why labor U
protesting against the "two dominant
political parties, writes as follows:
The existence of these agricnltnral
and I.-.bor organization? is an eloquent
and earnest protest against the princi
ples and policies and results of the Re
publican party.
They are seeking redress from legis
lative wrongs class, sectional and parti
san. They meet in convention, and in
consonance with our institutions detail
their wrougs and "demand" redress at
the polls and remedial legislation of
their servants. '
At the time of the convention of agri
cultural and industrial organizations,
held ia Louis a short time ago to pro-
test against the encroachments of capi
tal, and hence the hardens upon the
masses, we were startled by the sterner
protest of an army of compulsory idlers
and breadwiuners in one of the wealth
iest capitals of the Old World, demand
ing work aud bread, and carrying then
wants to the very gates of the palace.
