WILSON ON TAX BURDENS.

Wilson, the Radical candidate for
Congress, attempted, in Albany, to
show that there are no grievous bur-
dens imposed upon the people as the
Democratic platform alleges; indeed
that a very opposite and felicitous
state of things exist.
Why" said he, the revenue tar
if only taxes six articles in nse manu-
factured among you, namely: tobacco,
spirits, matches" etc. "I defy any
Democrat to point out any other arti-
Gle beside these;" etc, etc.
A single statement will shown not
only tho miserable weakness Of Mr..
Wilson's cause. but viii expose the
undigni6ed and pettiiogging DISPOSE
ton of the man. His remarks applied
only to the Internal Revenue tariff. -
Why did he not state the whole truth,
and in doing 50, inform the people
that the United States Tariff laws cover
orer four thousand articles, many of
which are of an indispensable charnc-
ter? And from these articles the i'm
mense sum of one hundred and fifty
million dollars in gold is collected an
nually. But the peoples burden il
not discharged by the payment of this
sum. The people pay, through the
enhanced price TINT the tariff places
upon these articles, more than double
this sum. $50, 900, 900 goes into the
Treasury, and, according to the Even
ing Post, Republican organ, more
than $500. 900 600 goes into the pock-
cts Of the manufacturers and dealers
who make the money out of the gen.
eral public, and thus keep up prices to
their present unnatural level"

Soon will the continent Of America

Then will come the day Of tribulation

POLL YOUR STRENGTH.

From ad-ices from different parts of
the State it has become certain that
systematic and strenuous effort will be
made to keep men from the polls on
election day, on various. s.pretexts. The
Radicals imagine that the contest is
likely to be very close, and that no
means to lessen our vote or augment
theirs, however apparently insignifi-
cant, should be despised. Linn coun-
ty is no exception. We are informed
that excursions for hunting, fishing
and various other recreating exercises
are already being planned to come off
about the first of the month.
Every precinct should have its party
organization, and should poll its
strength. and see to it that its strength
is polled on election day. Note the
absentees, and the reasons that make
them such, for future reference. If
any man keeps away from the polls
for money consideration, let him be
made to feel that the moral turpitude
of his act is not less than if he had
sold his vote to the enemy.
We warn, particularly, the Demo
Gratis of Linn county that whatever ef-
fort may be made apparently against
local candidates is made really against
the State ticket. Whatever money
may be used in the election here is O
part of the general corruption fund
ievied at Washington City, and is used
TO carry the State for the Radical tick
ct. We hope every Democrat will
stand by his ticket. Party pride and
personal patriotism enjoin this much.
It is not a. question Of whether or moi
VIC shall have majority. There is nc
doubt about that. But how great g
majority shall we have? That is the
question. There is nothing SO. dread,
full as disintegration; and though the
seeds sown to-day may yield no return
this year, yet few years hence they
may mature into an abundant harvest
We cannot afford to have the State
ticket elected by smaller majority
than Mr.. Smith received. Let us
keep in the ascending scale.

The Democracy of Idaho, adopted
the following resolution as their Sd
plank:
Rcsolred, That We are in favor Of the pay
ment of every dollar justly and cquitably due by
lar more, and that taxation should be equal and
uniform upon all property, including United
states bonds and all other evidences of public in
dehtcdpess. and that we denounce the financial
policy of the present administration in paying o
premium for bonds, which, according to law, the
government is entitled to redeem at par.
Here is another link in the chain of
testimony with which those who
charge reputation against the Demo-
ocratic party, are confronted and con-
founded. The gallant Democracy of
Idaho in common with their brethren
all over the United States are commit
ted against any thing that savors of
reputation. Ne more silly falsehood
could have been fabricated than that
the Democracy Of this State are in
favor of discharging the public debt,
other than according to the terms
of the contract. .bs

clared that we could not believe such
statements on such authority. We do
not charge the Oregonian with having
any. animps in these misrepresenta-
tions, but think that the habit has be-
come chronic, and therefore feel dis
posed to throw the mantle of charity
over its mistakes.

RADICAL HYPOCRISY.

Radicalism tries hard in Oregon to
make handmade of religion. The
thing was first started by hypocritical
pretender, called Pearne, who had a
habit of publishing, with his appoint
ments for political speaking, notice
that he would preach on Sunday, Civ
ing time and place. At late day, o
mountebank calling himself Hawkins,
with the word Colonel prefixed, per-
ambulated the State with Gibbs, max
ing speeches during the week and
emitting no opportunity to address
Sunday Schools and speak in meet
in" on Sabbath days. The other fell
low, Gibbs, once brought infinite dis
credit upon the people of Oregon,
through n combination of unpropi-
tious circumstances, by which he be-
came Governor of the State. It was
upon the occasion of one of these Sun
day School efforts that this Gibbs, after
speaking of our Savior's command "to
suffer little children" etc., made his
famous remark, ''let 'em come" And
by way of parenthesis: Gibbsis engagg-
ed in futile attempt to get himself re-
elected Prosecuting Attorney in the
Second District, while Hawkins is
peddling oranges in Honolulu.
The man, Woods, who is fit success
or of Gibbs and who is now Palmer's
substitute in the Gubernatorial can
vass, is an itinerant preacher of the
ranting, cavorting kind. And this
brings us to Wilson, the end of the
glittcring and sanity list, who swings
like pendulum, to and fro, between
the club ROOM of s.wet grocery
store" on Saturday night and the Sun
day school room of the United Pres
byterian Church on Sunday morning.
Out upon such unblushing Hypocrisy.

by the name of Hill. Mr.. Peck, the Republican

GROVER AND PALMER.

We have space for but limited notice Of the
debate in this city. on yesterday. between Hon.
l.. +. Grorer and Gen. Palmer. and General
Palmcr's Proxy, Woods. We will fully review IL
next week. Mr. Grover satisfied and more than
satisfied his most exaeting friends. iiissp ech was
from first TO lat thorough and conclusive mr.
gumcnt. II exhibited the strength OF vigorous
thought and the polish Of finished scLoIarship.
Gen. Palmer made a speech Of twenty minutes
length which Of Itself even If he possessed in any
considerable degree qualifications for the Office TO
which he asprcs. ought politically and forever to
crurify him. lie said that he had been charged
with having represented to Gen. Wool, while he
tPamer) was Superintendent OF Indian Adairs.
that the people Of Southren Oregon. during the
Rogue River war. regarded the Treasury of tho
United States u legitimate subject for punder.
Mr.. Palmer did not deny that he bad atiribut. d
this sentiment to the people of Southern Oregon,
but proceeded to justify it by charging the wsr
upon those people. In the course of his remarks
upon this subject, hc repeated the substance OF his
communication to Gen. Wool. in the following
language: "f said hot the 1ar had been forced
upon that people (referring to the Rogue Rirer IN
dians) much against their ,eau," and "there are
people here teho II they kne,o the acts perpetrated
upon those indians, IL could make their hearts
sick"
The language quoted and italicised, including
that in parenthesis. was taken down at the time
it was uttered and precisely rs it was uttered.
Gen Palmer then proceeded to narrate three in
stances of what he claimed to be true and heart
less cases Of white barbarity toward the Indians.
We postpone further discussion Of this subject
for the present. We commend Palmer's words to
tLc people of Southern Oregon for their delecta-
ton, merely contenting ourselves with saying that
more cruel, wanton, unnatural and altogether
infamous libel upon the innocent and suffering
white people of Southern Oregon, whose happy
homes were desoated by tho torch and knife Of
these red devils whom Palmer defends, hasneyer
been uttered in the limits Of this State before.
