BUT A BUNCO GAME. The prediction* of the people of this country intere«t«l in good government have lieen fulfilled. The republican legislation of the past twenty-five years h uh brought the present condition. At luck would have it the full effect of the blow was felt after the democratic ad- ru'niatration had b«-n seated. This was gras|ied by the republican press as t ie last straw anil the twaddle has in duced many to ladleve that the catas trophe in the financial world was the result of democratic laws and policy. The campaign of 1802 must be fought over again. The democratic party is no more responsible for the present con dition of the country than is th« third child of < ¡rover < 'leveland. Protection, the republican battle cry, is the sole cause of this condition. The sole aim of the republican party has lieen to provide pauper lalior to some 14,000 null-owners. The lalior of this country has never lieen protected and never will so long as republican influence is felt in t ie making of laws. The profits of farming have lieen destroyed and thou sands of free-liorn citizens have lieen driven to the manufacturing centers, there to lie slaves—in order to live—to the highly protected mniifacturer, who in return gives the laborer the bare nee- e«¡ties of life, and not then until after a day of severe toil. The policy of the republican party in fostering a class, and making slaves to that class thous ands of American citizens, has created tlie thousands of tramps now roaming a’Hint the country seeking food enough t > live upon. Protection is Init a bunco game. The people are the suckers, »toney is obtained on false statements, but still the farmers continue to pay tribute to the republican party, the greatest bunco steerer on earth. The farmer is between two fires, the cheap markets of the earth in which he sells Ids excess, and the protected manufai- turer. He does not seem to recognize that it is possible for him to make m mey by trading his wheat in the markets of the world for the necessities whieh he does not grow. He prefers to sell in the cheapest markets ami to buy in the dearest, drinking in each campaign the platitudes of the republi cin ]x>lltieian and believing faithfully that he is making money by the above process. Every dollar’s worth of gissls purch ased in the markets in which the farm er sells his excess products represents a full dollar in payment for the labor it has taken to produce his product,while the sale of Ids product in these markets and the purchase of his necessities in a protected market is nothing less than the discounting of Ills day's lalior for tlie necessities of life. The republican policy of protection allows some 14,<100 mill-owners to wage commercial war against several million farmers with every chance of success on the side of the mill-owner. The consumer is pre sumed to la? the common prey of the 14,000 and our representatives in con gress instead of taking the side of the |H*ople are pulled around by the nose lieeause of the su|H*rior influence of the 14,000. If the people will give the dem ocratic party credit for honesty of pur pose and allow its measures for the re lief of the people to become laws, this country will see a revival of prosperity and progression lieside whieh (he past will pale into insignificance. ITHE GOVERNOR AGAIN. There is neither reason or sense in Pennoyer's Christmas letter to the president. Why he should unload, at this time, on the suffering people of this state such a screed Is Is-yond the powers of human reason. In the midst of an effort byftlie people of the state to show to the world the advan tages of a residence in Oregon, the governor of the state and its represen tatives ill «ingress seem to Is? doing ev erything in their |s>wer to counteract thes« etl'erts. The governor is oil’ his base when he states that two-thirds of the people are out of a.job. He recog nizes all the bad elianu-ters of other states that are now journeying to the Midwinter fair as resi de uts of Oregon. They should not be so considered. There Is very little des titution In the state at the present time, and business, while dull, is not depressed to the extent It is in the more thickly populated states of the east where competition is great. Very few business firms have fail«l and the re duction In the working force of the state has been nil. The tramps that an* now infesting the state arc not res idents and are no more of a menace to the succès* <>f our industries and insti tutions than is such Christmas letters from our governor. WHO SHAIX BEAR THE Bl RHENS? EXAGGERATING THE REVEN./E I.O5S. Within tile last twenty years tliej w ealth of the country has been relieved : of much of the burdens of direct taxa i Hun. Willi tlie exception of the taxes | on spirits, ls*er and tobacco, the slip-. |sirt of tlie federl government is mainly a charge u|sm the necessaries of life. When the expenses of the war made heavy taxes necessary the government levied upon income and special trades | which were supposed to yield large profits, Gradually th« laws authoriz ing these tuxes have been repeal«!. The money raised by them was not needed, for the government's revenues exceeded its expenditure. Now there is a deficiency, and the looters say that in view of it it is wrong to lighten the burdens whieh they im pose on the necessaries of life. They insist that their raid on the treasury shall succeed in maintaining the high taxes they imposed for the enrichment of the favored manufacturers. Their elijeet must be thwarted. The incomes and wealth of tlie country should once more be taxed in order that the government may collect its required revenues and the necessaries of life be made cheaper. Thirty years ago, liesides the internal taxes now levied, there were direct taxes paid to the government on manu factures mid products amounting to $16,-524,989. In 186li the revenues de rived from this source were*127,230,6011. Then congress licgan to repeal the laws, and in 1880 the revenues had fallen to $228,008. Taxes were also levied on the gross receipts of advertisements, bridges, express companies, insurance companies, ferries, telegraph eoiupan- ies, lotteries, railroads, theatres, steam boats and other profitable enterprises in which large capital was invested. From these sources the government ob tained a revenue amounting in one year to $11,262,430. Apothecaries, auctioneers, brokers and others paid taxes on I heir sales to the amount of between $3,000,000 and $4,000,01» annually. Other tuxes were levied on bowling alleys, builders, eating-houses, miners, patent agents and a host of other trades. The in come from this source amounted in I860 to more than $14,000,IM». In the same year the income tax produced a revenue of nearly $74,ooo,<•■'», while the aggregate received from incomes for the time during which the tax ran was about $337,(MW,000. Wealth and business have been re lieved of all this taxation, but the bur dens on the necessaries of life have in- creijsed. In tlie fiscal year of 1802 the people of this country paid into the treasury the following sums on articles imported here for their common daily use: Buttons .............$ 825,404 Cement................ 1,125,000 Cotton cloth 2,178,034 Cotton knit goods 3,959,396 Other wearing apparel 512,375 Earthenware ami china . . 4,895,984 Fish. . 880,384 Linen, laces, etc 1,492,233 Fruits and nuts 3,083,422 Glassware 5,.'Ml,088 India rubls'r good- ... 148,679 Anvils.......... 47,005 Chains ................ . 27,353 Cutlery. . ... ............. 953,790 Files...... .............. •50,'«» (¡loves, als>u(. . . 3,500,000 Provisions t>45,7!» Silk.. . .. 16,965,6.37 I'mbrellas ........ 57,420 Vegetables 1,027,966 Lumber and wcssl 2,1;»,942 Manufactures of w<sd . 24,29.3,606 Total .......................... $83,901,208 It is the pur|>ose of the democratic party to reduce the taxes on these and other articles of general consumption. It does not intend that all the income of tlie government shall be collected from the newssaries of life or tlie luxu ries of tlie |Ms>r.— l|7>//</. SENSATIONAL PREACHING. The vagaries of the sensational pulpit are innumerable, and the tendency of the times is to sensationalism. But the freshest sensation is always the most tempting one, and lienee there is a custom in some denominations of introducing a “prelude on current events” before the preacher|enters upon the sermon of the day. If current events are to introduced into the pul pit at all, independently of their relig ious aspect, this is an entirely proper arrangement. If, however, the com mission of the pulpit is simply to preach the gospel of Jesus Christ, the sensa tional prelude ought to be banished from Christian services. Even in de- nominations which are not sensation al, and whose ministers customarily abstain from the discussion of political and other merely secular subjects,there has been a general understanding that the preacher may properly be released ' on Thanksgiving Day from his usual I self-restraint. If that day were solemnly set aside | The defender* ef the McKinley law add to their tariff scare bugaboo« an i “•«tímate” that the Wilson bill would , cut down the revenue« $72,000,01». Till« is an obvious and ignorant exag-. geratlon. No man can tel! what the) customs collections would lie under Htimulat«! importations and an in creased purchasing capacity among our people. When the Walker tariff was passed In 1*46 Daniel Webster pro claimed that a serious falling off in the government's revenue would result. Daniel was not a prophet. Th« collec tions for the first full year of the Walk er tariff exceeded thoeeof the last full year of the protective tariff of 1842 by over $5,000,01». And at the end of ten years the revenue bad increased from $26,712,01» to $64,009,000, and a surplus was created which l«l to a passage of a bill in 1*57 by a republican house—will Tom lleed please take notice'.’—to re duce the tariff, theugh the average duty wa« but little more than half what it now is. It is undoubtedly true that the ex tension of the free list in the interest of our manufacturers, wage-earners and consumere will result in a loss of reve nue. But the democratic party can af ford to contrast its policy of reducing revenues by abating taxes with tlie re publican policy of reducing them by increasing taxes. It is better to sacri fice revenue by relieving the people of burdensome taxes than to turn a sur plus into a detieiency by reckless ex travagance as the republicans did.— 117,,-M. Or Mlle.'

John Sherman, Ohio'« senior senator, in a recent »peech in the Unit ed State« senate, paid President Cleve land the following merited compliment: “I am now an eld num, and perhaps I have taken on the narrow minded ness of age. It 1» hard for me to be lieve that any democrat can be a patri ot. I lived through a hard and trying l>eriod in our country’s history, when we republicans came to look upon all democrat* as traitors and enemies of the government. That lielief has re mained with me as the years have gone by, and I repeat it is not easy for me to see pcrfei-t goodness in one of the democratic persuasion. But no one,” continued Senator Sherman, in a voice of impressive gravity, “no one can view the conduct of Grover Cleveland with out being convinced of the greatness and goodness of the man. His Integ rity, his fearlessness, his gifts of mind must 1* plaia to any one utterly blind ed by partisanship. Cleveland is the broadest minded man that ever sat in the president’s chair. Beyond any of his predecessore he has the courage and the foeulty of pushing all cabal and in trigue aside and of addressing himself directly to the |«ople. Friends, per sonal following, party, are nothing to him a« compared to the welfare of the people. Witli my natural distrust of nil democrats I might l>e tempted to look upon this phase of Cleveland’s conduct merely as a bit of the ablest of politics, but in honesty, I must admit that I have watched this man in all th* crisis of the national life in which do had a part and I cannot shake off’ the conviction of his superb abilities and his magnificent patriotism.” SPOIL THE EGYPTIANS. It would be amusing were it not as- touniling to see the New York Tribune, a great newspaper printed almost within sight of the custom house, re peating Hie fatuous claim of McKinley that custom duties are “paid by for eigners for the privilege of selling In this market.” Such talk may be excused by the ig norance or explained by the dishonesty of the Ohio humbug, but nobody capa ble of earning $15 a week on a metro politan journal could make in pure ig norance the assertion that "the present duties on wool and ores, woollens, cot ton ties and binding twine are not felt by the consumers.” Partisan men dacity alone can explain it. There was collected last year at our custom houses $34,593,069 in duties upon woollen goods, tlie full value of which was only $35,792,090. On the Tribunr’e theory the “foreigners,” for the “privilege of selling in this market” gave us $35,792,000 worth of woollen goods for $1.4!»,000! What a benevolent and pecunlous set those foreigners must be! Why should we not take further ad vantage of their desire for trade and tlieir willingness to ]>ay for the privi lege. Why did the Reed-McKinley congress create a deficit with such a i revenue open to them? Why do we not abolish all internal revenue taxes and “spoil the Egyptians” for the sup- l»ort of our government en a two-bll- lioivdollar basis?—AV«’ York iVorbl. Wallin's lilacksmith shop.
