The Journal recently replied to the Alhauy Democrat, which cited numerous strikes to show that pro tection did uot help tho labor, that the men were striking for increased wages and that thoro was a vast difference between striking for a raise and striking ngainst a reduc tion. Bradstreet's of April 25th says: "A year ago it was stated that the coal miners would, after the building trades(nui8tly carpenters), demand an eight-hour day. It Is slgnlficl- cant that at several points at which the movement was uppareutly de feated a year ago employes have since secured what was then asked for. Among favorable features has been uoted the amicable settlement of elght-hovr disputes at Chicago and Indianapolis." Probably a free trader will' admit that rcduclugtho boursof labor from ten to eight without any decrease of wages is tho equivalent ofau actual Increase of wages, but whether tho free trader will conccdo this or not the workiucmau knows it. Ho can appreclato the gain to him ift tho freo trader cannot. If tho fucts could be known It would bo shown that most of tho strikers In this protective country are aggressive movements for ad vances in wages. ns to give that city the full benefit of tho visit to this state. Under theso circumstance?, It Is particularly uu. (ortunnto for the state that tho na turoofthe reception nt Seattle was open to severe criticism. Wo sym pathize with our Seattle friends In their objections to tho management of tho affair and trust that they may be able properly to place tho cen sure therefor. That Seattle Blioweu to such very pdor advantage beside Tacoma it Is uot creditable to that city and is chiefly tho fault of the gentlemen who arranged tho pro gramme." Tho person referred to is a rcnouu ced politician who lelt Iowa under a cloud. As president of the State Ag. riculturvl College he got Into trouble with u student or rather got her into trouble was forced from that Institution, got his namo changed by tho legislature; Influential friends married him oil to an heiress, and tho Western Union set him up with a news monopoly at Seattlo In in early day, when his wile's money made him wealthier.

FAMILY SAVON TIIIC MACK-NUMHKK PLAN. The Oregonlan's plan of adopting editorials from Eastern metropoli tan papers has many advantugos. It enables It to display a great deal of learning while employing inex pensive persons on the editorial force. Its readers thus receive a great literary benefit while its pay roll Is kept at n small figure, us tho cxpeuse of an editorial force to pro duce original editorials is very law. Its entorprlso in this direction Is so refreshing that It is enabled to comment unfavorably on moosback legislation and a governor who, whatever lapses ho has been guilty I of. cannot be Hald to not bo thoroughly original. Editorial ability that relies on tho uso of shears Is good enough for an unpro gresslve, thinks the Orcgonlan. There is nlso u vein of wise con servatism in tho uso of borrowed editorials. For unless a clipped editorial has considerable merit and is endorsed by readers of great papers else vhero, It Is perfectly safe for a great paper to uso it In Oregon. The back-number plan has merit all around. It is far more meritorious than a rehash of tho Forum and North American Review. SOAP. Guaranteed full weight and an Excellent Washer. IOO Couirt Street.

In 1890 the stato of Washington throw 64, 803 votes In election of member of congress; in 1800 tho stato of Ore gon throw 73,205 votes in election of member of congress. Yet In the United Btutcs census mudo tho pop ulation of Oregon less in 1800 than the population of Washington. Tho census, as taken in Oregon, was a farce and a fraud. Uuder the official census Polk county had less than ten thousand population. If the above propor tions, based on tho school popula tion, are correct, Polk county must hare over ten thousand population. Tho towns in that county have uearly flvo thousand and five tlioua and furm population Is a very small estimate about 1000 families. Polk easily has 10,000.
