PIONEER BooT AND SHOE MANU-
FAcroRY.-Yc Yesterday, Messrs. Protz-
man, Corson aud Gillihan formally
opened their Boot and Shoe Manufac-
tory at the corner of Taylor and Front
streets, the ceremonies of the occasion
being christening, champagne lunch,
toasts, responses, and general felicita
ton of the proprletors by numerous
friends who dropped in to participate
in the festivities or to take look
through the establishment.
This is ain enterprise Of much great
er magnitude than most persons would
be led to believe by the bare announce
ment above, and as it certainly is one OF
great importance to the State it deserves
more than brief, passing notice. At
preesnt, the machinery which it is itended
to employ has not all arrived and, con.
sequently, the force of laborers is not
near so large as it will be within the
month. There are now twenty two
workmen employed, but within the next
two weeks and Immediately upon the
receipt of the balance of the machinery
the force will be increased 10 fifty men,
women and boys, which will be the aver
age, as now contemplated, for the first
year. A very large proportion of all the
work, when the factory shall finally be
10 complete running order, will be per
formed with machinery. The company
have, or will soon have, all the modern
APPLIANCES used in the most successful
manufactures at the east, so that fifty
workmen will be able to turn out an
amount of work in any given time which
would require the labor of several hun.
dred, working by hand. The work oI
making pair Of boots or shoes is per-
formed by a considerable number oi
persons, each having his or her especia
part to do. Briefly. the hands which
q pair of boots, for instance, goes
through. may be described as follows

The Examiner, complaining, says

The Erdmsaer, complaining, says:
so long then as the Democrats
ruled, there were no high taxes-no
waste of political funds-no huge rail
road monopolies-no squandering OF
the public domain-no untaxed bondo-
Gratis - no thieving Congresses - no
black-m levied on clerks to carry
elections-no monopolizing tariffs to rob
the many for the benefit eff the few,
no tramplings upon State Constitutions
30 stuffing of ballot boxes under the
protection of Federal soldiers-no mills
tary satraps to rule by the sword whole
districts-Do eristling bayonets brought
to bear upon the polls of great State
to coerce popular sentiment These
were all the offspring and growth of
the Radical party"
Precisely SO; nor did Democratic
Administration under Buchanan feel
disposed to bring to bear the bristling
bayonets upon the secessionists OF the
South, who undertook to establish a
principle that wonld utterly destroy
the Government, or upon the out-spoken
rebel. who talked treason with impu-
nifty as he paced the stately halls Of our
national Capitol. The truth is, had it
not have been for the false doctrine ad-
yocated to this day by the Examiner,
to wit, /. State Supremacy we shonld
have had no national debt, and the
people would have been spared these
enormous taxes, and there would have
been 20 bondocratsin the land. Your
political dogma, Dir, Examiner, il

you complain.

An Honest Confession IL Good for the
SOnf.


We have always contended that the
people of the West Side considered
themselves robbed of the original land
grant for a railroad. The Orfgoaiaa
contended that the people had not been
thus robbed, nor did they so consider it.
and that we were misrepresenting them.
Now, when Mr.. Hayden made speech
at Albany, on the subject of Holladay' y
East Side Railroad, he said, the East
Side had got our land grant unjustiy ;
and the Oregoniaa of the 10ta inst.
says, we can not doubt that Mr..
Hayden, in these remarks, indicated
the sentiments of the people of his
county, and, indeed, Of the West Side
counties generally, without distinction
Of party"
4 If, then, the Oregonian is right now
we were right all the time We should
Judge, from the tone of the OregoaiaA
on that subject, that the two Bens. had
become friends; time brings great
changes.

The lDiidicuity.


d The following is from the weekly Er-
aniuer, to which, the attention Of our
readers is called
s.The Southern States went. or at
tempted to go, out of the Union, and
failed. They are now as much in IL as
though no civil war had occurred. Each
has right to demand its recognition as
one of family of co>equal States. Sub
mission" implies master We deny
that the General Government rs the
master of the States. 1t is their agent
their servant, as much SO as when its
trainers Instituted itas such. We do not
wish to see submissive South or
submissive North, or submissive West.
We would rather behold bold, free,
outspoken communities, planting them>
selves upon their constitutional rights,
anl demanding that they shall be re-
spected--that their servant shall not
become their master.
This, as we have often said in public
and private, is the substratum of mod.
ern Democracy; and that is just what
the Southern States did when they
took up arms against the Government.
They planted themselves upon their
Constitutional rights, as they under
stood them, and demanded that they
should be respected. A people who
can in candor call q man consistent who
promulgates the doctrine above quoted,
and at the same breath says that State
has no right to secede from the Union,
when her people so desires, are totally
unfit for selfgovernment. It is no wonder
SO many good men desire to leave the
Democratic party. But the difficulty is,
when they make the start, they are driven
back by the frightful strides of Radi>
calism in the Rep publican party, and
thus they are held in chains to the
Democratic organization, by the operas
ton of the opposition; and it is fre-
quently asked, why is this SO? We
answer, because the extreme of the doc
trine of modern democracy, as there set
forth, is not thrown to the surface so
that the attention of the people is called
directly to it in such a manner as to
enable them to investigate and fully
understand it; and the consequences
are, they sleep on; while, on the other
hand, the extreme of the Republican
party, having direct reference to the
suffrage, is oil such nature that NIL eau
easily understand it !; and the Demo-
cratic stump orators aud journalists
proclaim it, under all circum stances, to
all people, at all times and places, both
in public and private; thus, il is plain
to be seen, that, while the extrem es of
both parties may be equally dangerous
to the perpetuity of the Government,
yet, under such circumstances, the one
will be needed, while the other viii not.
The result of all this naturally is, that
the Democracy are constantly gaining
ground, while the Republicans are
loosing the end Of which will be the
destruction Of the last named party
in 1872, unless they retrace their steps,
and the success of the Democracy,
unless the Conservative element Of the
country organize third party upon the
ruins of both.

San American Correspondent" writes
to the London Times, November 6, from
Versailles:
The Germans are perfectly confident
in what they call their circle of iron
around Paris, vast as is that great sweep
OF circumference. They tell me they
have so distributed their force that there
is no point at which they could be at.
tackled by a great sortie at which they
could not at once meet it.irst bysa corps
dasmee (33,000 men) and within two
or three hours by two corps, which
would close in rapidly from the right
and the left, not only supporting the
corps first attacked, but taking the at
tacking columns in the flank on both
sides. Besides about 100000 men whom
they could thus rapidly concentrate on
the point assailed, they will soon have a |
fourth corps of reserve ready in the rear
Df their circle of investment to come upl
in support With such forces they feel
perfectly confident of driving back any
possible sortie out of Paris.

nigh Tariff and Bosus Reform.

fFrom the Washington City Patriotl
A doubt is sometimes expressed as to
the Presidents actual opinions on the
tarif-monopoly question. These, of
course, are set at rest. by the following
authoritative expression of his accredi.
ted organ. It says:
"Gen. Grants position on the tariff is
that Of Judge Kelley, from whom, in.
deed, the President acknowledges that
he received some of the most valuable
and important suggestions and lessons.
He regards the doctrine of free trade. as
understood and advocated by the De-
mocracy, as akin to Reputation. On
all other points the President is as thor
oughly in harmony with the party that
placed him in power as the most ardent
Republican could desire, including civil
service reform"
Judge KELLEY is the acknowledged
leader of the tariff robbers in the United
States. The doctrine Of just sufficient
revenue to administer the Government,
economically, advocated by the Dcmoc.
racy, and not one cent for KELLEY and
his brother Monopolists. is nothing like
unless it is the reputation
of GRANT anil his high protective party.
Falsehood Is stamped upon the ..ciyii
service reform" part of the above by the
'emoval of Secretary Cox. BY that act
GRANT declared for the plnnderers
Let the people remember these acts Of
bogus reform President.

control the Administration to the de-
s.ruction of every interest except their
own. The policy of the Democracy is
the only one that will revive she ruined

The Election I'm M,..o,,t,

lie st. Louis Democras, Radical. saw
OF GRANTS effort to defeat BRovy IN,
Liberal candidate for Governor, 1t tts
late election in Missouri.
/ President Grant has given to the
election in this State a peculiar sicnif.
canoe. The people of Missouri were
engaged in deciding important questions
OF State policy, and in declaring their
will upon questions Of national impor-
tance, They had no thought of The
next Presidential election, and were not
inclined either to advocate or to oppose
the reelection of General Grant at this
time But. he. was influenced by men
who cared more for small offices than
for the SUCCESS md reputation Of his ad.
ministration They persuaded him that
the Liberal Republicans of Missouri
were hostile to his re election. The alb
sence OF any pledge to support HIM for
second term, and the emphatic decla.
rattonfor reform Of the cica service,
tcere regarded BY the President as epi-
0eftces v hoSttttty. +s
In the most unfortunate moment of
has Ee, he consented to use the power
OF appointment and removal in q vain
attempt to crush this liberal Republican
element in Missouri. Thus he has con-
yerted victory of principles to which
ne was pledged, which are vital to the
Republican party, and which neither
General Grant nor the party should ever
have permitted to be used against them,
into a most terrible rebuke Of has admin
istrdtion
MISSOURI TELLS HIM THAT HER PEOPLE
ARE NOT FOR SALE; that office and. the
hope of office cannot seduce them from
their convictions of duty; and that his
own forgetfulness of pledges, and disre-
gard of vital Republican principles will
not be initiated, but sternly rebuked, by
freemen in every part of the land. The
voters of Missouri only speak the will |
Of freemen elsewhere. Presidential in
reference in State elections is so odi.
ous, SO offensive to every true Republi-
can, that no President can hope for the
confidence and support Of the people pho

"The emphatic declaration for a re-
'orin of the civil SERVICE" was sufficient
o cause GRANT to take the side of Nc
