The voices OF the census takers will
soen be heard in the land. Each bus.
mess man will be required to give
statistics In regard to his business.
The farmers will also be called upon
to answer a number of questions, and
should be prepared before hand, 80 as
not TO delay the enumerators. Far
mers will be questioned upon the fol-
lowing points: How much you had
In 1879 In acres and bushels Of wheat,
and potatoes; how many bushels Of
peas and beans; the number Of acres
and vaLue of products of orchards,
vineyards and small fruits; number
of acres and tons Of hempRand hay;
bushels OF clover; fax and grass seed;
acres and pounds Of hops and flax;
the number Of hives Of bees, and the
number Of pounds of honey and bees
wax, sugar cane-acres, hogsheads OF
sugar and gallons of moIasses; sor-
ghum-acres, pounds Of sugar and
gallons of molasses. or the crop Of
the calendar year 1880, the officers
will want the number Of 1eeces and
pounds OF wool, pounds Of maple su-
gar and gallons Of molasses. or the
yield during the u months from
June /, 1879, 10 may 81, 1880, he
will want poundsof butter and cheese,
gallons Of milk sold, value Of animals
slaughtered, value Of products and
acres Of market gardens, value Of for
est products, value OF home manufac

tant as showing the growth Of tho
country, and should be carefully pre-
pared by our farmers, with view 0
getting them as near correct as posi-
bic.

srR STATE FINANCES.

We wish 10 call the attention Of our
readers TO a letter which appears in
this issue under the title of--"our
Financial Standing" 1t contains
facts and figures and shows up in
true colors the financial standing Of
our State. Every one should read it
and be thoroughly posted in this
matter. The gentleman who wrote
the letter understands his subject, and
shows clearly: that no State in TIE
Union stands better financially than
does our own Oregon. We hope 10
receive many more letters from him
for publication.

FARMERS, it now costs you about 20
cents per bushel to get your wheat to
the sea. If the bar at Yaquina was
cleared out your wheat would be shipped
from there, and to get it over there
would not cost you over 8 cents per
bushel, leaving Is cents per bushel ex-
ira in your pocket. Candidates for
Congress from Eastern and Southern
Oregon and Portland have promised to
get you government aid to remove OBJ

been successful in bringing the matter

TME POLITICAL Blue RIBEos.

Some of the Republicans are trying
to make the blue ribbon movement
work in their favor, and want all mem
bers of that organization to vote for
Capt. Humphrey. We simply have
this to say to Democratic members of
those clubs: o. P. Coshow is our can
didate for Senator, and he has been a
lifelong Democrat and total abstinence
temperance man. Capt. Humphrey is
the Republican candidate. Since his
residence in Oregon, part Of the time
he has been a'temperance man, but the
greater part of the time he has not been.
His last signing of the pledge was about
year ago, and since that time he has
kept it closely. But one thing looks
badly for him we see several promi-
nent Democratic anti-temperance men
in this city working for him. How is
this , Can man serve both God and
n:ammon7 Can man run on q plat
form in favor Of prohibitory liquor
law and still get the whisky vote.
Whisky and blue ribbons do not work
well together. Something is wrong
here.
Now Temperance men, who will you
reward with your yotes-a man who
has always been teetotaler, or man
whose total abstinence only reaches
back a little over one year, Answer
on election day.

HOW IL THIS 2
nnIBSaY AND cOnRTprIox .


With the downfall Of the ILoliaday-
Mitchell dynasty in Oregon It was
hoped by all honest citizens that our
State had witnessed the departure of
the corrupt and damnable methods by
which that infamous gang had secured
their brief lease Of power in this State,
and that thereafter We should have only
honest elections and an Impoverished re-
suit.
However fIattering this hol~, and
however desirable It's accomplishment,
it seems that our people are already
doomed to disappointment. There is
no doubt that the old corrupt methods
of the party are being resorted to, and
that, too, right here in Linn county.
We DO not write unadvisedly on this
subject, for we have IL from more than
ono reliable source that .tfve MOltsd1ld
dollau was sent from Portland to a
prominent Linn Radical last week, to
be used In bribing voters and thus Sc
curing our county to the Radicals
Efforts are being made by prominent
Democrats 10 srft this matter to the
very bottom, and II the facts as stated
10 MS can bc substsntiated somebody
will be smoked out " to their sorrow
This is a most serious matter to th'
voters Of Linn, and it should be mos
carefully inquired into.
II is most shameful that old gray
haired men, who bad heretofore born
good regulations in our community
should not only countenance this groa
assault on tho freedom Of the ballot
bat should absolutely receive aLd dis

for La Fayette Lane ut the polls, but

the YAaTINA BAR.


If the bar at the mouth Of YAquina
Bay is removed we have every reason
to believe that railway will be built
from some point on the Pacific Railroad
up through Idaho and then almost on a
direct line through Eastern Oregon to
Yaquina Bay. To do this it will have
to pass through either the Mimic pass
or that in use by the Lebanon mount
ain road. Nothing would help us go
mucb as this road, and nothing will
bring the road but the improvement of
Yaquina Bar. The best way to secure
it is to vote for WhiteakeF. Almost
every candidate for Congress has prom
ised US to procure appropriations for
Yaquina Bay, but their promises were
never fulfilled until Whiteaker went
back to Washington. By reference to
another article it will be seen that the
bill appropriating $4,000 for Yaquina
Bay has been put through the House.
Our people should reward Honest
John" by giving him rousing vote.

Editor Democrat.
There is very much said about the
financial condition Of this State. A
stranger, to read tho Republican papers,
would arrive at the conclusion that this
State is in debt several millions, most
Of which was stolen by It's officers and
retainers. All this stuff will do for the
brazen. faced politician, but the farmers
want the facts in the case. The reports
show that during the time Governor
Grover was in Office, the levy for cur
rent expenses was four mills on the dol
lar. The revenue derived was about
100000 per annum. This carried the
expenditures for the Insane Asylum,
Penitentiary, Legislative, and all other
current expenses. The Insane Asylum
alone carried an annual expense Of over
100000. Then there was the building
Of the Penitentiary, s150,000. The
annual expense Of the Penitentiary ID
not quite as largo as that Of the Asy.
lum. Tho patients and prisoners in,
creasing rapidly caused additional ex.
pense, SO that, taking the different de.
partments, the sum raised for current
expenses was insufficient to pay Of
these large sums for buildings and Inn
provements. BY great economy and
care the State was prevented from going
into debt beyond her ability to meel
her obligations in reasonable length o.
time.
We win give some of the facts in re
gard to these accounts and their present
condition.
Aside from an annual demand o
money for current expenses We mention
the following sums that accumulated

This is an outrageous falsehOod ! The

BAUM
THE MODEL TEMPERANCE CAaDIDATI

THE MODEL TEMPERANCE CANDIDATE
1t will be remembered that the Re
publican Convention which nominated
Baum for County Clerk adopted tnaani
rpOtlsly a strong temperance resolution
and it was fully understood that every
candidate nominated in that body stood
pledged to support that resolution. both
in spirit and letter; but now we have
it from reliable authority that Mr.. Baum
in no way respects that resolution, but
has his hired emissaries doling out
whisky to voters in hope of thus secur,
ing their support
A case in point is in the village oi
Sweet Home, where free drinks are
handed about and openly and Lrazenly
proclaimed to be '.Baum whisky /"
Even not content with doling out
this stuff to full-grown men, it has been
known to be given to minors most
reprehensible act both in the light ol
the law and all order-loving people.
If this is the manner in which Pc
publican candidates respect and support
the platform of the party and the views
of its members, then all the boasted
temperance pledges of their conven-
tions are simply 80 much clap-trap and
pettifogging humbuggery, designed only
as bait to catch the moral support Of
the community.
Who will believe in the sincerity or
honesty of the Republicans of Linn, il
after hearing this they should persist in
supporting this man for oficel No
sincere, honest, conscientious man can
have either respect for or confidence in
any further pledges which they may
make on the temperance question il
they should succeed in electing man
who thus shows himself so glaringly
unworthy of their confidence or votes.
