Vote for Jacobs. The Sailors Friend.

| We understand that there is a
band Of restless spirits, who are
anxious TO serve their country
and they may possibly have an op-
lportunity to do SO in the neigh
lborhood Of Stcilacoom-who meet
nightly at the rooms of certain
ones Of their number, for the pur-
pose Of devi>ing ways and means
to squeeze coin from the various
candidates for office.
The avowed object Of this high
toned and honorable organization
is to secure the cooperation of all
who are willing to prostitute their
manhood, and to bind themselves
together by a solemn agreement
to vote for the candidate who will
pay them the highest price for
their debasement. They are men
without principles, and strangers
to any honorable instinct, who will
sell themselves, like a wanton, for
gold.
These creatures, disgracing the
form of man, number a score or
more, and there are certain honora-
BILE gentlemen who have succeed
ed in securing the names of all
who are connected with the organ
ization, and who will keep sharp
lookout for them; and if they sue
ceed in finding a man on any of
the tickets in the field, who is so
low in the scale of humanity as to
attempt to barter with them for
their votes, that man will be open
ly denounced as villainous wretch
and his shame published to the
world.
There is stringent law in force
in this Territory which provides
severe penalties for any one who
shall be engaged in election frauds
or bribery, and which applies
equally to the bribed and the
briber. r'y eTai .er .
We warn all good men against
these unclean, leprous libels on
the human form, And we inform
this unholy organization that their
Infamous schems are known, and
that every man connected with it
is spotted, and that the first at
tempt which they make to rob
honest voters of their rights, by
selling their votes, will result in
placing themselves and the mon
strosity which seeks to purchase
them, within the narrowed limits
of a prison wall. l.hsaioJ -.
Thus much we say, not in the
interest Of any political party or
clique, but in the wider and broad
er interest of all good citizens,
whose safety lies in the purity of
the bsllot-box. tiI g ll
Let there be a combination Of
all honest ms6, who are willing to
abide the choice of honest votes,
against such bodies of debased
humanity, as the one which we
now have in our midst, and which
seeks to control our election by
the avilest practices. Let It be
strangled IN its infancy, while we
have the power, and let him who
attempts to buy or sell a vote, be
branded as an enemy Of the best
government that the world has
Fever seen; and let him waste his
kdays behind dungeon wall. o

The customary charge for row.
ing a passenger thirty miles on the
Sound is s., and this was the sum
the boatman chartered at Tacoma
by Sharpstein, to take him to Sc
attic, asked for his services. But,
says the wouid-be Delegate, al am
up for Congress, sir; think of the
honor of rowing mel 1t is worth
a great deal to you to have a pos
sible Delegate, like myself, in
your boat, everybody will want to
go rowing with you afterwards.
Suffice it all, the good-natured fell
low took compassion on the POOR
man and threw off a dollar, the
bargain being concluded for four
dollars. Just before landing the
candidate offered the boatman two
short bits if he would lead him
through the principal street whist
ling, "See the Conquering Hero
Comes" but the magnanimous Of
fer was declined, so the great man
strobe up the street humming to
himself, " Hail to the Chief" while
the disguised boatman sat on the
wharf singing, "There " was a LIT
TIE Man." etc. On one of the half
dollars the boatman got for the
job there is the impression of q
mans fore-fnger and thumb quite
deeply indented. The coin bears
date 1S66-the year the candidate
for Delegate received coin change
at the hotel where he stopped in
Olympia, when a member of the
Council, the time he paid his bill
in the green backs he received for
his pay in that body.-Courier.

and Stevens couaties. from thence
TO the lowcr Columbia. from low.
er Columbia to the Sound, step by
ster, comes our candidate, Judge
Jac9os. Our locals announce some
Of the particulars of his reception
in Olympia. BY private kilograms
we learnthat it was enthusiastic
beyond description. The feeling
in his favor Is growing every day,
and We predict that he will sweep
these Sound counties with a ma
jority beyond the hopes of the most
san guinc. The truth is that our
people are convinced that Mr.
Sharpstein IS not a candidate Of
the Territory but of Walla Walla
clique. \ man that has made such
canvass as he has of the Sound
cannot represent favorabIy its in
terests- HE SEES but one way and
that is toward his own banker.
His hand goes into his pocket but
never comes out, even when hard
labor demands its Just reward.
On the other hand Judge Jacobs
is identified with every interest of
the Territory, and particularly OF
the Sound. Poor and plain, but
honest and true, his duty has been
to uphold the right and administer
Justice, His abilities are of high.
er order than those of the Beau
Brummell class. In behalf Of be.
lnevolent as well as educational
and agricultural associations, his
voice has often been heard and
his influence ever given. The
voice of individual distress never
plead in his ear in vain. Philan.
ithropy, Education, Agriculture
have found their ablest advocate
here, in Judge Jacobs, and he ha:
ever been the friend of that large
class WHOSE POVERTY has beer
their only crime. Known as the
SAILORS Friend, the Farmer alsC
has ever found him interested II
every detail of farm life, active IL
every improYementin agriculture
and those interested in our school,
have looked to him as their sound
est adviser and sincerest well-wish.
er, While thus we find Judge.Ja-
eobs ever devoted to the public
good, we turn on the other hand tt
Mr.. Sharpstein.. His voice never
yet has reached Puget Sound in
behalf of. one single -interest-ruf
4 Washington Territory till he came
to claim our suffrages. In his own
homes he is known as the legal tool
of q railroad clique, not as a pro-
moter of the general welfare, His
own words betravhis weakness,
and his best friends wish be had
stayed at home. .l's- y. Z

Port Townsend Hospital.
The above institution having been placed
on a permanent footing, as the United

Puget Sound, the proprietor takes pleasure
in Announcing that no pains or expense
viii be spared in ministering to the com
fort and convenience Of private patients.
This is the largest General Hospital north
Of San Francisco, and by far the most com
plete in equipment. u has been thoroughly
feiitted and fefurnished. It's general Wards

dred patients and are peculiarly adapted
FOR cases requiring the most careful treat
ment and constant supervision at limited

Love ye one another

JONES, OF NgvApA.-His face is like 4
Dutch portrait in the style Of Rcmbraud,'s
mellowest. with American eyes iy it. The
cheeks are bright red. with the color Of
currant clusters. seeming to expose JUL
cy red life in the blood. and for the rest
are opcn-air brown, the whole little vo-
lup,uous in contour. but heightened out
with beard Of rich Vandyke brown,
where the thread or two of gray hangs
like the morning cobweb on the red thorn
bush. The eyes are hazel, carrying all
exprcssage, inundated With humor, clear
as precision, shining with the light Of
feeling. expanding with the glow of ad-
dress. The hair tarries, satisfied that
sometimes it must let the oils Of precious
spikenard evapora.e, but as yet they give
it bue. 4 triae chuffy in the body. as il
he bosscd al. the jobs with the knees, the
belly. the eyes. aud elbows. hallooing to

were 2.I01 .42l persons engaged In manu-
features. mechanical and mining indus
tries. and 5. .022 All persons engaged in
agricultural pursuits. There is no means Of
obtaining the exact number of employers
in the manufacturing class. but. making
all due allowance for the great number OF
small establishments in this country, we
may safely assert that the number of per-
sons engaged in manufacturing opera
tons. and employing the labor Of others.
is limited to . few hundred thousands,
scarcely half million in number. If so

Let us suppose that. without duty. Eng
lish blankets could be sold in the United
States for S5 pair. aud tha. Amer lean
blankets could be sold at the same figure,
with fair profit TO the manufacturer-
The tariff adds duty Of 80 per cent. or
81 so to the English article, aud raises
the price to 50 so a pair. The Ameri-
can manufacturer is thus enabled to ad-
vance his price to IS so. and still to un-
dcrscll the English manufacturer. The
people are thus compelled to pay $3.50
additional for every pair of American
blankets they purchase. No wonder our
our woollcn and cotton factors amass such
immense fortunes.
There are but two or three manufac-
,urers Of quininc in the United States.
but. as this medicine is the special anti
dotc to the most common disease Of this
country. large quantities of quinine are
used annually. The bark from which the
powder is made, is admitted free OF duty.
bat the powder itself must pay duty Of
80 per cent. The American manufactur-
er is thus protected" to an extent which
enables him to demand 80 per cent. more
for lis qunine than he could obtain in a
free market. and the excess is burden
some tax exacted from the entire nation.
The reader can easily form an idea of the
amount. of the annual tribute paid BY the
na,ion to the two or three manufacturers
Of quininc.
Castor oil is about doubled in price by
this system.
The heaviest duties arc levied upon ar
ticles Of necessity, upon the clothing. med
icines and other necessities Of the poor
Upon articles of luxury the duties are pro-
porrionately light. 1t is 80 per cent on
blankets. and but GO per cent. on silks.
On lianuels of the quality used by work
in. men for their Undertaking, the duty
is almos. prohibitory. while on the finer
grades it is comparatively light On salt
it has been within very recent period 1O7
per cent while on diamonds it is only 10
per cent.
Thus the burden falls upon the middle
and poorer classes. upon those who can
no, afford to use luxuries The rich pay
comparatively little; it is the grea, mass
Of toil'r'. struggling people that pay the
enorm ..., tribute to the manufacturers.
The burden falls upon the farmer with
very grca; force Almost every article
needed in the exercise Of hi, calling, be-
sides those required for domestic consump-
ton. is taxed enormously. 1t is useless
to go over the whole list. A few instau-

Human happiness is the acme of earth

ponds upon general prosperity.
The prosperity of nation is in proper
ton to the value of its productions.
The soil is the source from whence We
derive all that constitutes wealth; with
on, j, We would have no agriculture. no
manufactures. no commerce Of all the
the material gifts Of the Creator. the va
ricus productions of the vegetable world
are of the first importance. The art of
agriculture is the parent and precursor Of
all arts, and its products the foundation
Of all wealth.
The productions OF the earth are sub
ject TO the influence OF natural laws. iuva-
riable and iudispu,ahlc: the amount pro-
