LINN COUNTY FAIn.

On Monday, September 23rd IA lit
tie more than three weeks behce) thu
Linn County Agricultural Fair vii
begin, and yet we hear Of but littlC
interest beng manifested in the event
outside of a circle Of @horse men" who
are at present training their stock al
the race track. This state of facts
should not exist. We have frequent.
ly urged upon the people OF our coun-
ty the benefits arising from these an
nual exhibitions of our productions,
and would again most earnestly urge
them to manifest moro lively inter
est in the enterprise and exert them
selves more fully to render it success
ful.
The Fair is season that every far
mer should look forward to with
pleasure. It is the holiday season in
the farmers year, and it should be
enjoyed not only by the farmer him
self but by his family and hired men,
The fair is an exhibit OF the products
Of the county and a display of its in
dustry and progress for the year.
The gatherings are for the rural peo-
pie, for the furthering of their inter
ests and to contribute to their enjoy
ment, 1t affords them the means of
gaining valuable information. Not
every farmer and comparatively few
persons engaged in otherpursuits than
farming, know tho characteristics Of
the different breeds Of cattle, horses,
swine, sheep and poultry, and il is
Important that the best opportunities
bc afforded all such to gain the in
formation desired A living speci-
men Of Chester White, Berkshire,
Durham, Devon, &c, is worth all the
cuts ever published. A liberal pat
ronage Of tho fair is necessary, for
large premiums cannot be paid with
oat an income from some source, SO
every citizen Of the county should feel
that his mite is necessary to make the
fair q financial success. a O1'aaa

aryssteal, themorc lis cnornfity grow
upon Us, The members7of Congress
whose votes passed the bill, and th'
PrcSidentwho signed 1t, ari TALL guilty
the latter ID less dcgI1se perhap
THAI the former BECAUSE ! they yote(
themselves each $5,OOG for service
4 wtA4h they had already rendered, an(
for wlick tbas 'naol already been paid
They, in fact, stole thepeople's money
with which to bribe themselves. And
! the President was bribed by the in
crease of salary amounting to 500,
900 during his present term. Gran
is the only President since the foun
dation Of the government, who woult
be guilty Of 50 mean thing, It il
an act Of the same hue as his nepot
ism, only worse in degree. But this
increase OF salary by members Of Con.
gress is, all wrong. When the Re
publican party came into power, the
pay Of members Of Congress was IS
per day, .and plenty Of men, more
worthy than the members Of the last
Congress, stood ready to take the Of
flee at that rate Of compensation. AS
soon ms the Republican party got III
to power, the members voted them
selves a salary of$3,O00 apiece, which
gave them $Sper day the year round.
That was certainly a asufieient com
pensation Soon after, they voted
themselves $4,000 per annpm. And
now they have voted themselves ST.
500, or about $75 for every day they
sit in their places, at the same time
making up their pay at the, same rate
for the last two years, which they
stipulated TO serve for $4,000 per an,
mum. And this has been done when
the whole country is grooming under
the burden Of taxation growing out
Of the late war. And the pretext tor
the increase Of salaries is as untenable
as the act is unjustifable It is, that
the expenses Of living at Washington
have increased, and therefore the
members require an increase of pay
Very likely the style Of Lying has be; /.
come more luxurios at the corrupt ma
tional Capital, and very likely mem
befs Of Congress enter into the gay
cites of Washington life more exteh-
siyely than formerly. But the people
are not bound TO pay for luxnries or
pleasure. There is too much aping
,he show and splendors of foreign
courts, at the seat Of our government.
It's sapplng the foundation OF Re
morals and virtue. Better
ar return to the stern simplicity of J
he Fathers of the Republic,iw ,iwho sup
,osed they were founding a frugal
nd unostentatious government, which
hould be felt only by its BEN
licence and its blessings. Let every
1ember who gave his vote for the
alary steal be hunted ont of political
70. Not one OF them should escape
he vengeance of an injured and in
llted people, The sordid President, i
Tho in consideration of hrbo OF
100000 gave life to the bill, cannot
0 expelled from office at present,
ut he can be deprived of the price {
his treachery to the people,. The I
IT can bo repealed. IT should be re- {

GUS salary steal be the watchword O
every convention, and every cleo \

An old line Republican Of Dougla
county writes the following letter t
the Oregonia2a, and we here reproduc,
it to show the cause Of the apathy
and disgust alnong-so large a class 0
Republicans throughout the State
OAKLAND, Aug. 9th, 1873.
10 Tie Editor ofthe> >0regonian:
AS was expected, the Republican
precinct meeting here on Saturday
was captured by the railroad influence
The attendance was very small, moi
4 over one-third Of the Republicans be
ing present. Those who remained
absent mainly comprise those who
have become discouraged in partisan
wrangling, and who express them
selves disgusted at the status of affairs
in the Republican ranks. They will
respond no longer to the call Of the
party bugle JIt is a notorious fact
that majority of the Republicans in
this precinct cannot be prevailed on
to attend any political primary meet
ings The farmers who compose our
strength, and who were formerly the
first on hand and the most enthusias-
tic, are. now those who mainly with Will
draw their influence from US. They
express themselves deceived, disgust
ed and humiliated at the status of
public affairs This leaves the prima.
ries principally in the hands and sub
ject to the manipulation of railroad
agents, section hands and other en-
ployes Of the railway, who are
promptly on hand to model the pri-
maries in the interest of Ben. HoIla-
day. Not man Of this class was
missing, while on the contrary over
forty votes, representing the people
the opposition to the railway ring
where at home in their fields, resolved
to let the party go to the dogs rather
than come TO the rescue and assist in
denouncing party wrongs With
such widespread Generalization in our
ranks, it is vain to hope for party
triumph. John Ii. Mitchell-recent-
ly Hipple-elected as Republican,
has brought odium on the party; his
influence in the Senate and before the
country has withered away, and he
is now an actual detriment instead of
a benefit. Republicans have appealed
to him to resign that the party might
be saved further responsibility for his
presence in the Senate. He persist
emily refuses to do this, but prefers
that the party should rather 60 down
with his odium than be benefited by
his resignation. l5
1t is idle to say that John Nipple
has nothing to do in this campaign.-I
The moral influence brought against
us as party on this mans very doubt
FIJI reputation is of itself overwhelm-
ing. The party leaders lat present.
advising him to remain in his seat is
partial Endorsement of his career, and
This being understood by thousands
Of good Republicans throughout the
State, they are determined to bear
lone Of the responsibility, and hence
absent themselves from the primaries.
Add this to the grasping, dctatorial
monopoly Of Ben, Holiday and his
iomineering control in the local poll
ics Of the State, and reason is given
or the apathy manifested among old
Inc Republicans. DOUGLAS.
