THE DEMOCRATIC PLATFORM.

The following is the Democratic
Platform passed by the Democratic
State Convention.
TIE Democratic party Of the Sfnte Of
Oregon IN Convention dskcntbItI do
DECLARE:
|. That we recognize and support
the legal and constitutional authority
of the Federal Government, but insist up
on the strict construction of the Federal
Constitution as necessary to the prcsva-
ton inherent rights Of the people; ;that we
oppose Capitalization as the most insid-
ious enemy of popular rights, and will
continue to denouncc it in every guise
in which it may appear; that the
several departments Of our government
Legislative, Executive and Judicial,
are independent in their respective
spheres under the Constitution, and
any attempt by any one of them to
usurp authority is destructive Of the
Constitutional rights and independence
Of the others, and should be rejected
as dangerous to civil liberty.
g That justice demands revision of
our tariff laws, with view to secure reve
nue. alone, and not TO tax he community in
general for the benefit of particular
interests and to the detriment Of the
laboring classes Of the community.
3. That the wealth of the country
,s the product of labor, and that we
heartily favor such legislation as has
for its object the protection and support
of the producing and laboring classes
Capital protects itself, while labor in its
diversified formes needs, and must have
the fostering care of prudent aud skill
full legislation, and particularly is this
true at this time, when the profits of
production are being swallowed up in
extortionate rates Of transportation.
4. That all corporations are subject
to Legislative control those created by
Congress. should be restricted and
controlled by Congress, and those
under State laws be subject to the
States creating them; and all corpora
tions should be so controlled as tc
prevent them from becoming engines OF
oppression; and also the property OF
all corporations should be assessed and
taxed at the same rate as the property
of individuals.
5. That we view with great appre-
hension the widespread corruption
ard dishonesty that has recently marked
our public service, and considering as
shameful and inquitous the recent act
of Congress granting an increase OF
81 aries, we demand its immediate
repeal, and we 1enouncc every member
of Congress, Democrat or Republican
who supported the measure, and also
the President Of the United States, by
whose approval the Infamous act became
o law.

I watched beside the mother, as her feet the
valley trod
That lowered before the entrance to the garden
Of her God.
bent to catch the murmur of the oft repeated
prayer,
From the drunkard's curse and sorrow, my boy,
o Father, spare!
Then. with bated BREATH she listened as the
staggering steps drew nigh,
And the kiss, all poison laden, met her lips to
say Good Bye,
And there broke one wall OF anguish from that
heart bereft OF Joy,
Would to God ere this dread moment, I had
died for thee, my boy.
Oh, ye who boast OF thousands. the price OF
JOY and pride;
Whose victims, rum-cuIsed brothers, are fall
ing by your side,
TO to your well kept pa1lors, and in the gloam-
ing fold
The baby boy you value far, far above your gold
Behold his glorious future, and fancy as you can
The thousand bright hopes waiting I'LL your boy
becomes man.
And then, while peace sits DER you, to your in
ebriate's cot,
Go, gaze upon the ruin your guilt-stained hand
hath wrought.
There, shlvering n the darkness, sit husband,
wife and child
darkness wild;
Close to her throbbing bosom the mother holds
her boy
The one drop, mid all the sorrow, that tastes
Of earthly Joy.
And vet as Fancy pictures the darkened years
to come,
She kens full the future that awaits drunk
ards son.
With arms and heart upnfted. on. hst that
anguished plea
lie Is all heart holds sacred, but give him
ord to thee.
90 back to your sleeple-s pillow and in the
first grey dawn
Pour away the deadly poison Heavens curse j.
resting on;
Thy right hand angel waiteth, with snowy wing
unturled.
To bear the blessed message away to the other
world.
There shall be Joy IN heaven where wives snd
mothers watt
The glad shout from earth's thousands shall
reach the golden gate.
Oh. EARTH thy warriors rally nor cease till the
glad news come
Hope for the fallen, branded with the seven
fold curse OF Rum.

For the True Northerner.
II f'ied for the Ediien.
We have groaned in bitter sorrow DER the cruel
wrongs OF war,
We have shuddered at it's thunders as they
reached our ears from far,
And Nations tears lave fallen for the brave
men stricken down.
While the cruel battle tempest, with its rain Of
death, surged on.
But strong hands grasped the saber, and shout
ed. 1--WE will save!
The nation shall not PERISH nor banners cease
to wave.'
Nor paused they till the tldings hoated from
sea to sea,
And heaven flung back the echo of Peace and
SVictory.
But 10 A deadIier serpent than thy cruel flend
Of blood
Has entered this dear country OF Bibles and
God;
This reckless homo destroyer, this weird. un-
shapen thing,
Has reared itself kingdom, and crowned itself
king.
Where are the brave to rescue Have they Civ
en- the battle DER?
Have they left the foe unvanquished to gather
force once more?
In the might OF your strong manhood, in your
strength of trust and pride,
Roll back the curse, intemperdnce, from the
futures onward tide.

Like nations, individuals, they say,
Must have their RISE their progress and decay:

Others more calmly rise, and SET more slow.

Full of bright hopes, true love, and poetry;
Another, wild ambitions reckless slave
Would leap perchance into hurried grave:
While still third. with modest merit blest,
Might live in peace, and honor'd sink to rest
But which Of these would suit our heros case
Or whether in his character you'd trace
The least resemblance to the one or other,
Tis not my purpose now my brains to bother.

When cash and honesty were both more plenty
Than they are now, or ever since have been:
But let that pass, for very we'll ween
The subject is not one to please the fancy;
And surely you would call me "Mes Nancy"
To dwell upon unpleasant facts too long,
or make "hard times" the buIthen Of song
Some years ago there dwelt, aye, d'oelrs, the
word:
The critics might declare it "gute absurd"
''Show us his dwelling" they would say, land
we
win then with you right willingly agree"
Patience, kind reader, 1 cannot stop to moot
That point with you, and tell my tale to boot;
For tho my aim is neither fame nor glory,
Yet you perceive I'm bent to tell story.
Some years ago there dwelt man-you stare
Perhaps you doubt it Well now declare,

Although twas not told me as | tell you;

SQUARE TnBER.-The cost OF the square
timber which is shipped from this port in such
large quantities Is very great at the port OF It's
destination. The timber costs when in the
river here ready for shipment, about $500 a
thousand cubic feet. The timber is shipped
from this port TO Kingston at a Cor, OF about
500 thousand cubic feet. At Kingston it is
unloaded and RATED to Quebec--the cost OF
rafting being about tho same a. the cost of
shipping from this port. This makes the tim
Der worth at Quebec about s4OO per thousand
cubic feet At Quebec it is reshipped to the
old country, the timber costing at Liverpoo
about 5000 thousand cubic feet-or 300
more than at Bay City.-Lumberman Gazette.

Meeting in New York and Brooklyn, Oct 13 and
IA. The Convention was large. The proceed
ings were spirited and harmonious. Great en-
thusasm prevailed. Col T. w. Hlgglnson
presided and made the opening address. Let
ters endorsing the movement. were read from
Hon. George VIM. Curtis. VIM. Lloyd Garrison,
Lydia Maria Child, Elizabeth Stuart Phelps
Louisa VI. Alcott and others. Eighty-six dele
gates were present, representing organized soci-
cites in fourteen States and Territories. The
Annual Report shows that Woman Suffrage is
established and works we'll in Wyoming and
Utah, thar 1t was under discussion last winter
IN q State Leg slatures, and received major
ity vote in those of Maine, Iowa and Michigan.

Committee. Among the wee Presidents at

olutions adopted are as follows:
RESOLVED, That the primary aim OF the
American Woman Suffrage Association is 70 Sc
cure the ballot for woman while it includes,
IN its general ann. tue establishment OF her
equality OF rights IN all directions.
REsoLvED, That one-half OF the adult popu-
lAtlon OF the United States who are legally en-
tited TO hold property, who are assessed for
taxes and punishable for crime, and whose in-
terest IN tue Commonwealth s ia no respect
less than that OF the other half, should not be
deprived OF an equal voice III tine government.

From the journal Of Commerce, October I.
\ few manufacturers. especially those con-
nected with the railroad interests, have been
compelled 70 discharge part OF their hands.
We DO not expect that this necessity will be
imposed on all manufacturers, though 1t must
be confessed that many OF them will have a
hard time to pull through. The recent panic
caught them with large contracts on then
hands, full compliments Of Workmen, hlgh
rates of wages to pay, aud the eiSht-hour rule
in operation in their establishments. They
were working on very close margins for profit,
and the least depression in trade made its in
furious effects felt immediately. they have
had no option but to reduce their expenses at
once; and tins they have done By the per-
emptory discharge OF large proportion o. the
workmen. 1t IS cause OF regret that 80 many
men should DO deprived of a situation on the
verge OF cold weather, but it is not 10 be de-
MED that tue action Of the men themselves has
done more than anything else to make such
step indispensable. BY their combinations and
dictations they baye raised the cost O. prOduc-
ton enormously put the prices OF everything
artfcially high, aud left the prortetors hut
little room for profit and the moaeat the
least financial disturbance occurs. many 81. these
employers are Obliged TO fail, OF turn most OF
their hands adrft. Ia tho Old days when the
interests OF employers and employed were
identical, the former would make almost any
sacrifice sooner than part with their tried and
nj tl,o tIrn
community OF interests, would worl oa at half
wages. If necessary, during q season OF de-
preston in trade. But all thus has been changed
by the unions. The employer res .rls those
bodies and their members as hls enemies and
not his friends. lie owes them no -ayors, and
he has no scruple about dischargIng union men
in pinch. And the union men, on tnelr side,
having habituated themselves to think Of en-
poyers as their natural foes, retuse 70 make
the least concession in wages when employers
are in tight place. Should the depression ex-
tend to manufactures in general the unionsts
will lose all that they fancled they haG gained
by combinations and threats. Wages riust so
down. or work will lot go on. The absurd
eight hour system must be abolished, or manu-
facturers must fail The time has now arrived
for these fetters upon business to be removed.
In everything else but wages there is falling
off, and the turn has now come 3or wages
Either there must be more work done per day,
or there must be less pay for Il days work.
From this alternative we think there If no es-
cape, and the failures in manufacturing estab-
lshments which we are beginning 20 record are
the prelude of general movement Tor a re-
duction Of wages to standard more reasonable
than the present one. The unions must recant,
or their members must suffer rom the persist
ent violation OF natural law
