The state rights democrat. [volume] (Albany, Linn County, Oregon) 1865-1900, 1883-02-02

The Northwest Feacs says the Re
publieans in Congress intend TO clean
up the reform docket SO that the Demo
cratic rsformsrs of the next Congress
will be like 0thello, without an occu-
patton. The Neaos unwittingly pays a
compliment here to the Democratic
party that any party should be proud of.
The Neacs admits that the mission and
occupation of the Democratic party is
that of misunderstanding the many
abuses which have crept into the ad-
ministration of government since Re-
publicans came into power, and, with
a freshness and degree of candor almost
wholly foreign to the columns of Repub-
liean journals, admits that when there
are no reforms to make, then the occu-
patton of the Democratic party is gone.
Surely light is breaking in upon the
bsnighted vision Of more than one Re-
publican journal. But while we are
10th to spoil this beautiful little saying
of the Neacs, as a public Gisseminater
of knowledge, onr duty to our readers
compels US to say that we cannot rely
upon this promise of reform at this late
day. The course of the Republican
party is strewn with too many broken
promises to justify the people now to
have faith in this death bed repentance.
The reform docket will never be cleared
up by the Republican party. The pso-
pie in 1884 will take an appeal to anoth-
er court whose duty will be to clean up
this docket of reform, and that will he
the great Democratic court of tie coun-
try whose proceedings will be decreed
in accordance with the honest purpose
and sentiment of the people of the coun-
try. No the party that, after having
made 30 many promises of reform in
order to induce the people to retain
them in power, turned their backs upon
these promises and the seemingly un-
suspecting people to whom they were
made, and instead of that reform, gave
US post leadership swindIes, whisky
ring swindles, Credit MobiIier swindles,
Presidential swindIes, Star Route
swindles and 50 On ad ifnaatuus, will
not at this late day be left with enough
honest vitality among its leaders to re-
form the corrupt administration of the
District of Columbia let alone the ad-
ministration of our government in all
its labyrinthine details throughout the
land. No, the people will no longer
trust the promises Of the leaders of"the
grand old party"

While We do not arrogate to our.
self the ability to discuss the tariff In
such way as TO throw light upon
tho intricate aud subtle principles
underlying cur tariff laws, yet we
feel called upon to refute the dlAn-
gennous and uncandld statements of
Republican contemporary, given as
an argument to maintain the Justice,
fairness, and sound policy of main
tanning high protective tariff. We
are gravely told by this contemporary
that s'a protective tariff does not
necessarily have anything to do In
the matter of price," Pray then
how does this tariff protect our nome
manufacturing establishments I? Ac-
cording to our contemporary a protec-
tive tariff does not protect. III the
tariff does not affect the price, then
the only effect OF tariff would be
to produce revenue only, which Il
the Democratic creed. II Is true
that the price Of an article Is always
determined by supply aud demand !;
but 1t Is equally true that the relative
proportions of supply and demand
may, and almOst universally viii be,
changed ard affected by the imposi-
tion ofa tariff duty. II the enforce
ment of tariff duty did not thus
affect this proportion, and thus lndi-
rectly affect the price OF an article,
then indeed would there be no pro-
lection Ia a tariff law or duty, and
hence, on the ground of futillty, IL
should DO repealed. We are told OF
an American who had conversation
with an Englishmap, which eonver.
sation developed the fact that suit
OF weolen goods that costs $50 In
Manchester, England, can be bought
In America for $40, and this fact Is
given to prove that tariff law does
not affect the price of an article. II
1t be fact that woUlen goods can be
bought so much cheaper In the u. S.
than la Europe then that very fact
proves that We do not need tariff
law, and hence 1t Is a great less OF
breath and time to so vehemently cry
out against its repeal as prolectionists
do.
We are further told that II our
industries are protected against for
eign competition by means OF customs
duties, We thus foster and encourage
our ewn manufacturing establish
mcnts to such an extent, as to create
lively home competition, which, in
turn, results in overproductiou, and
hence the markets in that limo OF
articles will become overstocked and
then we can buy it cheaper than we
can the foreign articles. Eut sHch
twaddle is so silly as TO provoke a
smile from any person OF ordinary
intelligence The least restrictions
put upon Iator and trade The more
healthy 1t will be, but somc men are
never able 10 grasp and comprehend
SD plain proposition.

CONGRESS-.

Congress has done nothing yet but
pass a sham civil service bill. In The
way OF reducing taxation they have
done nothing, and it appears from their
tardiness in the matter that they are
unequal to the task of relieving the
country of the unjust burdens of taxa
ton now being borne. The great
difficulty seems to be that protectionists
want TO repeal all internal revenue laws
and thus do away with internal taxa.
ton, which would enable them to say
to the country that it takes money to
run the government and We must not
reduce the tariff or there will be a
shortage in the revenue to run the gov
ernment, while on the other hand tariff
reformers object to the repeal cf the
internal revenue laws, as that would
prevent the reduction Of the tariff nn-
less other means Of raising revenue
were resorted TO. This is only another
OF the many awkward dilemInas into
which the government ends itself placed
10 consequence of the foolish policy of
maintaining high protective tariff for
the aggrandizement of the few at the
expense of the many.
Our readers remember the extraya-
CANT and unlawful use made of the
funds appropriated by Congress to pay
the expenses of the Department of
Justice while Geo. Fl. Williams was at
its head. The annual report of the
Attorney General has recently been
submitted to Congress and it appears
that many of those extravagances are
still kept up in that department.. A
few items will show the indecent man.

Republican Congress is SO slow to re-

style. This alone is sufficient reason TO
demand change in the administration

THE New York Sun very pertinently
remarks that Democrats should not
trouble themselves just at present with
picking out candidate for President
in 1884. What they need to do is to
50 use the power which the people con-
fsrred upon them last fall as to satisfy
the country that they deserve to be
trusted with the Presidency. This
done and there will be no trouble in
finding an able and suitable candidate,
and no trouble in electing him.

MucH has been said Of late among

propriety Of offering some inducement
70 capitalists TO come here and establish
WOODEN mills. No better water power
can be found on the coast than we have

Of the most extensive and richest agri-
cultural region in tho State. Our val

il will be, by the addition of thousands
of immigrants brought hither by the
completion Of tho Northern Pacific
Railroad. Manufacturing establish
men.s of all kinds will be established
for supplying the busy thousands, yes,

busy millions who will have found
hsmos in the Northwest coast. Large
quantities Of wool will be grown on this

step. There are ut preaent but three or
four small mills Of the kind in the State
