THE David Bennett Hill, enator from iKew York, and the Benedict Arnold of iliia party, has gone furiously .mouthing .at the administration and the proposed income Ux. What Dav,id Beunet Hill think of Grover Cleveland to of no in terest to any one, especially 01evelund; ibut his position on the income ax -proposition is of decided Interest In -that '.jf. shows the stand of hie -eouatitwents n the proposition to make euftital aeara portiou of the cost of .conducting, -the government. The worst feature of ithe system of raising revenue by ous-, toms duties by tariff Is that the tax is Inihe nature of a per capita tax. The' -t.nrifFt.nY la n tnx on flonsmnintion. and .as the poor man consumes practically . as much as the rich, he pays the same .amount of tax and produces as much -t'oln for the support-of the government as his wealthv neighbor. The ueiieral government levies no tax of any .kind on property, "but floer entire revenues are raised by a tax on things consumed . 'This tax now amounts to two millions .of dollars per day, or a tax upon the laborers of the .country those who are dependent on their personal exertions for support of themselves and their families of about .6 per cent of their ' daily earnings. Against this burden some load of taxation levied .upon the poor it to proposed to lay oive-fuurth as jnuch, or 2 per cent, upon the earnings of the money of the rich. This is what David Bennett Hill, and David Ben nett Hill's monied constituents, .object to. The privileged elasses .have so long thrown the burden of taxation .upon 1 he labor of the country that tliey can not bring themselves to even a state of . being one-fourth honest by isubniitting to taxation at the rate of .one-fourth of -what their poorer brethren pay.. Uudei the present system he pays .8 per cent .of his capital, his labor,, and capital ihowls against paying ouie-ighth of 1 percent. When the Morrill tariff was ' adopted its originator said it was a war .measure. At the same time heavy in ternal taxes were laid as a war measure; :and an income tax was submitted to .grumblingly by the wealthy, as a war measure. The smoke had not cleared .away from Gettysburg before the re-. . peal of the income tax was demanded, ;aud the sun-burned legions of the two armies had not reached home until the measure of repeal was well under way. .Almost the first act to pass congress was the act to repeal the income tax, to relieve the oppressed capitalist from ;his of ershadowing burden , of unusual ;and unconstitutional taxation. That war measure stilj exists. It exists in n billion of dollars war debt ! It exists in an annual payment of $150,000,000 pen sions. The capitalist submitted to a tax on his income to bolster up the na tion's credit, but he. successfully .re ibelled against having that income taxed to pay that same war debt. In time of war the capitalist fattened on the necessities of the soldier., in time of peace he fattens on the servility of the . .citizen.' In war he remained at home .and dodged danger! In peace he is at the front, fighting to avoid hie share of the debt. The free horse ma be ridden until be drops under, the saddle, dead in his efforts to respond to whip and pur. The rider may be .compelled to .complete his journey on foot! Two per cent yielded cheerfully is better than 100 per cent taken by forcej .Coxey'e ;army are playing the overture Let Wall street beware when the curtain jises. France had her '.92 and history repeats itself. 1 HOOD RIVER APPLES, Monday's Oregonian says; "Beauti ful apples from Hood River u now selling in this market at $2.25 per box. "They look as bright and fresh as they .did the day they were gathered, and $how what can be done with Oregon apples." These are probably eome of the lot taken .down by W. J. Baker last week. Those who are afraid the ' Apple' industry will be overdone con find profitable subject for thought in ' the prices above quoted, and ean thence set out apple trees without number., chooaing simply the whiter varieties.

Eighteen years ago we were engaged in managing a ranch and one of those innumerable toll roads that Mark Twain describes i;s hanging over the edges of the state of .Nevada. The road w.us huilt across the Carson river bot toms, eight miles from Carson City. In the arly spring a big bull adopted the ranch and made life burdensome to everybody about it.. He would walk through a fence, barb wire or other wise, without seeming to be aware that he had met it. In the Pine Nut bills, twelve miles to the southeast, a man by the name of Jeromes-call him Jones was running a cattle ranch, without a license. Jones came by the ranch one day, just as the bull walked through the. fence. On the spur of the moment we gave our "interest iu the bull to Jones, who drove him off to Pine Nut. About a week afterwards we went up to Jones' place, and he asked us if we thought we would know "that .bull." We thought we would, and he rode over to the ranch with us and pointed him out. A change had -eome over the spirit of his dreams. His horns had been sawed off, and to bal ance him up his tail had been grubbed out. Down his brisket seven gaudy dewlaps vied with one another in add ing to his beautv; while three toggles on his nose and two on each cheek gave his countenance the appearance of an Easter bonnet. Besides all this, he had a dozen different brands scattered over his system, his ears were cropped, and he was oxenized. As a work of art he was a prize wluner. Soon after this, Joues found it profitable, on ac count of isome of. his cattle "trades," to leuve the country, and his where abouts was unknown until a few weeks ago. . He is now a clerk on the finance committee of the United States senate and has had charge of the Wilson bill. It is not true that John Minto came around the Horn in the Mayflower in 1492. He crossed the isthmus with Pi zarro several years later, and was elect ed alcalde of Santa Fe in 1532. He fled from there only a few hours ahead of a pursuing office, which caught him tw.o years ago, and sentenced him to a term iu the Oregon legislature. The punishment fit the crime. The famous, or infamous, Breckinridge-Pollard suit has come to an end, and Miss Pollard gets $15,000 damages, provided she can .collect it. Miss Pol lard will probably hide herself as best she can and Breckinridge can crawl under his Wing. . The weather for the past week has beeu remarkably cold. We mention this fact not to complain of the weather, but to point a moral and explain the truthfulness of the motto of this paper, "Jt's a cold day when we get left." . The Acme Tree Wash. The Hood Rivr Pharmacy has taken the agency for the sale of the Acme In- secticide Compound, manufactured by Watson Irwin & Co., Oakland Califor nia. Cull on us for circulars and in formation. J.

Dear Sirs: I have used your Acme Insecticide Compound, and have found it to be the moBt effective and cheapest remedy for desroying all kinds of pests to which plants and trees are subject. Can reccommend it as a first-class ar ticle. ; . Yours Truly, - J. SeulbeiuoeR. In the year 3893 I used over a ton of Acme Insecticide for the black and brown scale, and this season I am spraying everv tree I have in my or chard. My experience is that the Acme is the best wash'that was ever put on the market, as it can be used at any time of the year without injury to the buds or foliage. George P. LowriE. A Street Car Idyl. They were riding up town together pretty, pink eheeked Ethel and her Ted cheeked brother Ralph. . In-the young woman's lap lay a daintily bound volume with a bit of winter landscape etched upon the cover and th words "Winter Idyls" written across it. "Say, Ethel," inquired Ralph, ' 'what does i-d-y-1 spell i" "Idyl," replied Ethel absentmind edly, looking out of the car window. Ralph pondered. "Are winter idles tramps, Ethel r he went on. And the absentminded Ethel said she guessed so. New Yoxk World, . ; . How lie Knew of It.

We -declare our steadfast adhesion to the fundamental maxim of the democ racy, viz; "Government by the people and for the people, honestly and econ omically administered, for the greatest good of the greatest number." We charge upon the republican party and its reckless legislation all the evils from which the people are now suffering, and assert that the low prices of farm produc's, non-employment of labor, general depression of business and stag nation of industry, are the results of the unjust and burdensome taxes, high protective tariff system, and other class legislation of .the republican party, of which the demonitization of silver in 1873 and the contraction of our cur rency are instances. We believe that all taxation should be equal and just, and that unneces sary taxation is unjust taxation, and that the wealth of a nation should bear its just proportion of the burdens of the national government, and that we are in favor of an income tax. We favor the calling of a constitu tional convention, to submit to voters of the state' a constitution embodying among other things what is known as the initiative and referendum. We again declare our faith in and ad vocacy of the imperishable principles of the democratic party as reaffirmed by the Chicago platform. ' We have an abiding faith and im plicit confidence in the integrity, good faith and patriotism of President Cleve land, and believe that he'will accom plish, so far as in his power, before the close of his term of office, all the pledges of the democratic party contained in the national platform, adopted at Chi cago in 1892. , , We indorse the repeal by congress of the odious federal-election law, and in dorse its efforts in behalf of tariff re form and to bring about a more pros perous condition of aflairs. ' We favor the speedy construction of the Nicaragua canal by the govern ment and under government supervi sion and control. We reaffirm the position that has ever been maintained by the demo cratic party, tifat gold and silver are equally the people's money. We are opposed to all measures of discrimina tion against silver, and demand free coinage to supply the demands of busi ness, and that all money issued by the government be made a legal tender for all debts, both public and private. We believe that the pension roll should be one of honor, and we favor liberal pensions to soldiers disabled in the service of our country. We are in favor of the election of United States senators by the direct vote of the people. We denounce the act of the last leg islature whereby was repealed what is known as the mortgage tax law, and we demand its re-enactment at the next session. We demaud that all property shall be assessed at its true cash value, and that there shall be deductions only for indebtedness which has a correspond ing taxable credit. We demand the enactment and en forcement of more stringent laws for the protection of the salmon and stur geon fishing industry, and the aboli tion of all fish traps, seines and wheels, and favor more extensive , artificial propagation. We are iu favor of liberal appropria tions for the improvement of our rivers and harbors, and the adoption of such measures as will tend most speedily to the opening of the Columbia river. We are opposed to Chinese and all pauper immigration. " We favor a change in the law regu lating the adoption of school text books which will invite healthy competition and prevent too frequent changes in the same. We are in favor of laws for the pro tection of depositors in banks. ' We are in favor of the abolishment of railroad and all other unnecessary com missions. We favor fixed salaries for all public officers and the abolishment of the fee system, and are opposed to an officer receiving more than his constitutional salary.. ,. , .,, w-l'.; We condemn as infamous the attempt of the last legislature to tamper with the purity of our elections by so amend ing the Australian ballot law as to take from it all iia beneficent provisions, and we earnestly oppose any change or modification of said law. We declare ourselves in sympathy with the just decision of Judge Cald well, regarding the rights of labor in the recent controversy between the Union Pacific railroad company and its employees. , We arraign the last legislature for its waste Of the people's money by extrav agant and reckless appropriations, and' hold the republican party responsible for the shameful and vicious legislation of that body, and we call upon the honest voters of the state to relieve the common wealth of this incubus upon its industry aud prosperity by Ittking the reins of power from the hands of such incompetent and unworthy servants. Te people cannot hope for immunity from corrupt appropriations of public money so long as the party in power is controlled by the combination of spoils men which has and will control the re publican party of this state. .

' This Is the time of the year when much loss occurs to the farmers In the loss of young foals. A Canadian horse breeder of much ex perience says: Carefully watch your colt for the first ten days, and see that Its bowels act properly, as the lirst ten days are the most critical In a foal's existence. If you can get them over the first ten days they usually require very little attention If the mare Is fed Judiciously. The mare should be fed some two or three weeks before she is due to foal and some time ofter soft food, such as boiled oats, bran and linseed that has been boiled for twelve hours or longer, so as to loosen the system and pro vide a generous flow of milk. If from some cause.the mare should not nhavo sufficient milk the best substitute is cow's milk,, one' lourth water and a tablespoonful of honey to a pint of milk. Costiveness, diarrhoea, and inflamation are the principal ailments a young foal is sub?ect to. The two first careful treatment will overcome; the last is, in most fatal. ' The following are well tried and the best remedies that have come undei- my notice: Costiveness Rectal injections of lukc-warm water every half lour, or syrup of rhubarb with a few drops linseed oil; dose, tablespoon ful. Nothing acts more powerfully than in jections, and the advantage is they do no harm. Diarrhoea should not be stopped suddenly; tablespoonfnl brandy with teaspoonful of tincture .of gentian and two tablepoonfuls lime water in a cupful linseed tea every three hours. j r -. Inflamation Apply blanket, thickly fold ed and wrung out in very hot water, to belly; rub the legs well; give teaspoonful laudanum In two ounces of water. Repeat dose iu two (tours ifneccessary. . : SUMMONS. ....:.
