Beecher and Garfield Free
Traders.

Beecher-Henry Ward of unsavory
fame-made free trade speech at n
Garfield meeting, in Brooklyn, the
other evening, that will scarcely be
reported in the newspapers or quoted
by the spouters of the Republican
party in Pennsylvania. Beecher pro-
claimed himself an out and out free
trader and is reported in the New
York Herald as saying, 81 believe
&" that the philosophy of the future is
d" free trade, and that all nations to
&" be just to themselves must adopt it
"as soon as they can. The time is
/" coming when nations will not know
a custom house when there will be
" free trade among the human race
" all over the earth" Fearing, how
ever, that this was somewhat too bold
to suit the present purposes of his
party, the oily tongued preacher Of
party politics and diluted religion un-
dertook to hedge upon his doctrine by
saying that time must give it ripe
ness and it would be unwise to make
"a sudden change"
This reads as though Garfield him.
self might have uttered it. Hear what
Garfield said in reply to Judge Kelley
on the same subject: AS an alb
stract theory of political economy
free trade has many advocates and
much can be said in its favor; nor
will it be denied that the scholarship
"of modern times is largely on that
side; that a large majority of the
great thinkers of the present day
are leading in the direction of what
is called free trade" And, again /:
81 am trying TO state as fairly as l
can the present condition of the
question and in doing so | affirm
that the tendency Of modern thought
" is toward free trade"
Here is n candidate whose record
is undeniably that of free trader
made 80 by his votes in Congress rs
well "a by his public utterances he
has orators on the stump supporting
his election who boldly avow them
selves free traders he has leading
Republican newspapers like the New
York Times, the New York Erening
Post, the Cincinnati Commercial and
the Chicago Tribune that ask the peo.
pie to give him their votes and at the
same time are open and undisguised in
their advocacy of free trade. Now,
who is deceived =? and does not the
tariff clamor of the Republicans in
Pennsylvania bear the impress of a
cunningly devised scheme of decep-
ton and hypocrisy? Reader, exam.

them, and then draw your own con-
clusions.

TIT STEAMER CALIFORNIA.

The steamship California, on a recent
voyage from Portland to Fort Wrangel and
Sitka, via Victoria, encountered heavy
seas in the North channel, at the mouth of
the Columbia, and lost her rudder. Capt
Thorn stood out to see. A new rudder was
constructed, and lashed on, but the violence
of the waves carried it away, as well as
several others. Capt. Thorn had one rib
broken, by being thrown suddenly against
case on deck. The vessel after drifting a
day or two, sprane leak, the pumps fail
ing to work, the crew and passengers kept
the water below the furnaces by dipping out
with buckets; a portion of her cargo was
thrown overheard, and portion of the
balance was somewhat injured. After te-
ing buffeted by the waves for four days and
nights, all the time in eminent peril, the
good ship sighted Victoria and was safely
towed into port. Capt Thorn, officers and
crew performed their duties, under the most
trying circumstances, and are truly alive to
the fact that had it not been for the assis-
tance of the passengers, the steamer must
inevitably have been lost

A REMEDY FOR poor STOCK.

friends to very useful crop if send you
the following extract from letter received
few days ago from Mr.. r. e. Purver, who
lives six miles south of Salem. He was
described to me by an Oregonian friend of
great discernment as ''a live Englishman,
and regular rustler":
ssWe have grown Sutton's Yellow Globe
Mangle very well, as well as Swedes. 1t
may be interesting to you to learn of our
success with Winter Tares. Ours are ancle
high 1.-TWO inches under SNOWY We had an
immense crop last year. Italian and COM
mon rye grass, too, are quite success. We
have cow grass, clover and winter beans,
and many things that pay for our bringing
here. I wish you could run over our farm
and see our progress-an English commence
ment from the stump. We came six years
ago, cleared the land, grew nearly three
thousand bushels of wheat and seven hun
dred bushels of black Tartarian oats last
year. We have nice breed of sheep, half
true Merino, half Cotswold. A neighbor
measured and weighed a rod of our Mangel
-64 tons per acre. I think it is imperative
to sow grasses of many kinds to get good
pasture. Hop, red and white clover, rye
grass, red top; and we find on our beaver
dam land the velvet grass gives much feed. :"
Here, Mr.. Editor, is the remedy for the
skinny cattle and poor sheep that offend
your eyes as you ride about this country.
Really, nature has done her part, and we
must not blame the country if we are short
of feed. know one neighbor of mine who
has kept his cow in full milk all this winter
on about half an acre of clover. And we
shall have this winter feed in addition to as
fine crop of hay from the clover patch as
ever came off Timothy. If your friends
have not tried tares, get them to sow
patch this spring, with few oats to keep
the tares off the ground. They will never
repent it. w. N.

FROM TIE BAY.

Ed. GAZETTE: The S. S. Alex. Duncan
arrived on the Goth inst, with merchandise
to Siletz Agency, Williams, Hammond and
Case. The vessel was one hour and a quar-
ter on the Columbia bar. At times her
decks were swept by the sea. She had pas
sengers and freight for Tillamook, but the
bar being rough, the captain concluded to
try Yaouina He came in on the morning
tide, hardly realizing the passage across the
bar. E. H. Larson, of Astoria, and A. B.
Hallock, of Portland, were on board both
these gentlemen expressed their admiration
of the bar, the river and country. Allen
Parker, of the Oneatta mill, had some
freight, and Capt. Carroll kindly consented
to run up the river with the same. A gen
eral invitation was extended to the citizens
of Newport and vicinity to take ride on
the steamer. The trip was enjoyed by a
number of our folks The least depth of
water, Low TIDE, found from Hammond's
wharf to near the mill was 81 feet. So for
commercial purposes Yaquina has 2l feet of
water at mean low tide, while Portland
laments having but Is feet. There were
places where no bottom could be reach
ed in five fathoms, particularly along the
stretch OF beautiful water between McLain's
and Coquille point, nearly two miles long,
a mile wide and perfectly land locked. The
Duncan is the second steamship that has
ventured up the river above Newport. In
1872 the r. S. S. Shubrick assembled as far
as the ship yard, about eight miles from the
mouth. On the 2lst the Duncan sailed for
Tillamook and Portland the bar was per-
fectly smooth, not breaker to be seen. A
gentleman named Elliot, recently from Min
nesota, was on board, going to Tillamook to
visit brather. He told me Murray county
in that State had been eat ont by grass-hop-
pers for four successive years. The fifth
year crops looked well, but very destruct-
hailstorm destroyed nearly every thing.
These five years the people have struggled
against pitiless fate. The sixth year brought
long talked of railroad through the county,
and, Mr.. Elliot said, Gland that was value
less reached a high figure, and sold out. :"
Question-If country subject to such
ca amities as the above can be benefited by
a railroad, what would land be worth in the
Willamette valley with road touching the
seaboard in 60 miles?
Murray county, Minnesota, is many hun
dred miles from market half the value of
wheat is paid out in getting it to water, or
rather to place where competition makes
monopolies an impossibility.

OUR ROADS.

"Now, don't you think something
might be done at the next Legisla-
ture to get the roads of the State
into better order % This was the
query we overheard as we sat in the
West Side car the other day. Never
mind the answer then given. 1t was
little indistinct-but the question
set us thinking, (for once.)
Is it not true that half the time
this winter our wives and daughters
are crying, like the startling IN the
sentimental journey, eve can't get
out?" Is there any sense in sitting
quiet under evils all feel, yet none
take it in hand to cure? Two days
ago we had supper at the house of a
CHEEKY, hospitable fellow, some ten
miles out from town. The first thing
the wife had to do was to explain
that there was no tea nor sugar-the
wagon could not get into town, and
the stores had ran out a week ago.
One man complains to his neighbor
that be had not got the seed wheat
he had bought; no help for it, the
wagon could not fetch it. The next
man wants to sell some stock, but
he fears he can't deliver them1 the
roads are so bad.
Then look at that man riding into
town. His weary horse drags one
foot after the other out of the mud
with sound of slosh, suck, splash
at every step. The rider is bespat-
tered from head to foot, face and all;
look at the crowd round the postoffice,
waiting for the mail-half hour after
half hour passes-no mail it can't
get through.
Now we put it TO our readers if thev'
do not one and all recognize the
truth of these sketches
But this is only Inconvenience you
say. Well, but money is lost, and
there's the rub. How can you ex-
pect the country to please all these
men coming in now the railroad is
open, when they can't get about to
see it? A man might as well take
his family to the Spokan country
land that to our mind is next to the
penitentiary for life) as settle down
where they can't get in and out to
and from town, and the children can't
get to school, and church is a forbid
den luxury, and if the doctor is
wanted it is ten hours business to
have him fetched.
But you want to increase the road
tax. No, we don't. All we want
you to apply your minds to is the
question how best to expend the
money and labor at present devoted
to this most needtul purpose. Is it
not possible to have some better plan
than for the Supervisor to warn cou-

pie of men at time to go to work on
such and such piece of road, and
then leave it, without any instruc.
tions what to do and how to do it,
or any oversight to secure that the
labor shall be faithfully applied. Is
it, or is it not true, that the majority
Of the workers, so called, are more
anxious to get through their tax
and see that they do not do more
than their neighbors, and spend a
couple of very easy days, rather than
honestly labor to given and well
considered end in fitting their piece
of road for traffic ? This matter
touches us all very closely. Let US
see what the best remedy is.
