This talk about the oppression OF the
poor by the rich, Of privileged classes pet
ted and subsidized by the Government, Of
discrimination against the laboring man, In
which the Greenback orators and Journals
are 20 freely induiging. 10 all bOsh. The
privilege does not exist. the oppression II
not attempted, the discrimination Is not
msde. We have only to look about US to
see that. Why the man who to-day pays
the heaviest tax In the city OF Portland.
was . poor farmers hoy half century ago.
who borrowed hundred dollars and set
up In business for himself People trusted
him because they knew he was honest. en-
ergetic, industrious. frugal. He had gem
ius for business. and by the exercise OF his
talents. by the Prsetic. Of frugslity. by
strict adherence 70 honesty, by marvellous
industry and enormous labor. he became
very wealthy. But every farmers boy In
Maize hfty years ago started on equal
terms with him. There WAS ~, discrimns-
tiou made. no privilege extended, no unfair
advantage taken. II he succeeded and they
failed u Gas because he was the abler man.
Aud 10 day he pays tor the support o. the
Ore department which guards our homes,
the police which protects our property, for
the streets over which We travel. Tor the
sewers which wash away the seeds of dis.
ease, nearly three times more than any
other man In Portland. quite five times
more than any other man save one. over
ten times more than any man except nine.
We all know that he has given employ ment
to hundre eds OF lAboVers. has built factories
has stimulated industry and Quicksned
trade. Yet 1t Is the fashion to denonnce
men He him A. bloated capitalists as OPP
pressors Of the people. as leeches who suck
the Likelihood from the veins Of the poor.
How absurd IL all is. WHY. the great ma
jOrity OF the rich men OF this city have been
taken from the pillow handles. have been
drawn from the farms Of the country towns
that lie all about Us. Il is the pride OF this
nation that Industry and energy and talent
ALWAYS make themselves felt. We send
our lsbor-rs. the men who hew timber In
our forests. and cobble shoes In our shops,
and tend frames In our mills. To our ma.
tional legislature. We make OF them Pres.
idents aud Senators. We send them sb road
Ia represent US At the courts OF Europe.
We bestow upon them the highest offices
within our gilt. And In the race for these
honors every man has an equsl chance. II
Is foolish and wicked To pretend that there
are privileged classes In this country. that
the rich are protected or exalted at the ex.
pense OF the poor.-f Portland Press.
