PLAIN FACTS PLAINLY STATED.

To THE EDITOR OF THE NEW NORTHWEST:
Very many persons object to speaking
of the condition of women as a condition
of slavery, as this, in their estimation,
is placing the matter in a light too
strong, and altogether odious. Far be
it from me to deprecate the marriage
relation, if this is properly ordered and
sustained, but marriage relation which
imposes the double curse, the mans
and wOman's curse also upon the wom-
an, imposes upon her a condition of
slavery as oppressive to her mentally
and physically as any ever endured by
any other class.
From forty years observation I can
say, with very few exceptions, wife is
only another name for slave; and she
has no more privilege than the black
man of the South had before the eman-
cipation proclamation established for
him equal rights.
The ten hour law was made to protect
the labOring man, while the wives of
these men work from IA to Is hours
every day, and even on Sunday there is
very little rest for the wife and mother.
Men make all the laws; men are
the lawyers, judge, and jury; women
have only to submit.
No Shareholder ever treated the
blacks with more cruelty than the
drunkard does his wife, and there was q
long war to liberate the blacks, but nc
hope for the wife. Yet they tell us thi:
is the land of the free, and the home o.
the brave.
Take glance at enlightened Ger
many-see the wife harnessed with the
OK. Then turn to the heather wher,
women are treated worse than the do
mestic animals. Many children ar
r born sickly, on account of the oppres
, sion of the mother, and hundreds die il
infancy, because the mother has no
time to give them proper care.
Nature made woman the prope

We are sorry to learn of the severe
and continued illness of Mrs. Mallory, of
Salem. She has been confined to her
rooms at the Chemeketa for several
weeks, suffering much of the time in
tensely. We learn, however, by a pri-
vate letter, that she is now very much
improved, and sincerely hope that her
recovery may bespeedy and permanent.
Her presence and work at the coming
convention of the State Association will
be greatly missed.

A letter from Mrs. Duniway, under
date of Mt. Pulaski, January 10, states
that she was at that time still making
her headquarters at that place, and lee
turing and canvassing in the surround
ing towns, and that she was coming
West as fast as the weather and the
state Of her health would permit. So
she will evidently be home sometime,
if not sooner.

SUFFRAGE IN COLORADO.

Aida C. Avery, President of the Col
orado Woman Suffrage Association,
sends the following relative to suffrage
work in that ambitious young State:
"As no doubt you know, we are just at
the opening of the Woman Suffrage
campaign in this State; the question of
woman's enfranchisement is to be sub
mitted to the people at the next
general election, which will occur in
October, 1877. We are anxious to take
every means possible to put the matter
before the public, to carry it into every
village, school, district, and house by
lectures, pamphlets, and papers. We
mean to help ourselves just as earnestly
as possible, but we need help and ask il
from the friends of justice everywhere.
Will you send a copy of the New
NORTHWEST, and tell me the terms
upon which you will furnish it as a
campaign paper ?"
The new Northwest. [volume] (Portland, Or.) 1871-1887, 1877-01-26
QUERIES ANSWERED,

A correspondent of Jackson county
asks in another column questions rela-
tive to membership in the State Woman
Suffrage Association which we are
pleased to note and answer. The article
in the Constitution of the organization
referred to relative to membership, pro-
vides that "any person may become a
member of the Association, and be en-
titled to vote in its conventions, by
signing the Constitution and paying
into the treasury the sum of one dollar
annually.n
The Constitution is brief, setting
forth in terms not to be mistaken the
aims and objects of the Association.
We will publish it entire in our next
issue. Those, therefore, who reside at a
distance and desire to aid the cause can
have the qualification of being enrolled
under the banner of the State suffrage
organization by sending name and
membership fee to the President, Mrs.
H. A. Loughary, Amity, or to the Cor
responding Secretary, Mrs. A. Bowman,
Salem. All names received will be en-
rolled and proper credits placed opposite.
We hope that the long and honored
list of names that are already affixed to
the Constitution will receive in this
way many additions. Remember
friends, that each name carries its infiu.
ence into our councils, and each dollar
helps to keep the Association financially
respectable and independent. So SEND
on your names and fees.
