RRPUBLICAN PLATFORM

The Republican platform sets out
with the statement that the party has
gained its strength by qrick and
faithful response to the demands Of tho
people, etc. Now, this all sounds very
well, if it were true, but unfortunately
fer Republicans there is barely SEN
blance of truth in it. Did Republicans
respond to the demands of the people
for the passage of a Law remonesizing
silver No. On the contrary they re-
fused to respond, aad it was rot until
the Democrats succeeded 20 po'~er in
congress that such bill was passed.
And then the great body of the Re
publican party threw all the obstacles
in the way of the passage of the Law
that they could. No, they nDt only
neglected but refused to resPsnd to the
will of the people in this matter. Did
they respond to the demands Of the peo-
pie when the alarm of danger from the
influx of vast hordes Of cheap Chinese
laborers was raised on this coast : No.
They first treated the matter with
taunts and sneers, but When they saw
the people were fearfally in earnest they
then attempted to check the progress
of opposition to Chinese immigration,
by raising the cry that to restrict it
would be violating our treaty with
China. When tbs futility Of his was
seen they thsn said our country was
the asylum for the oppressed Of all
nations, and, therefore. we should not
restrict Chinese and other such senti-
mental, cheap stuff did they indulge in,
and the result was it was left to Dam.
Ocrats TO pass laws restricting Chinese
immigration. They demand increased
protection On woel, but it has been lit
tie more :han year since Republi-
can congress reduced the tariff on wool
against the almost solid vote of the
Democrats in congress. The platform
declares that the pa bic lands are a
heritage of the people and should be
reserved for small holdings of the peo-
pie. But has not that party for the
last twenty years been squandering
millions upon millions of acres of this
rich heritage of the people by giving il
TO great railroad corporations who, ir
return for such princely gifts, have
Disseminated against and oppressed
those out of whose heritage they had
grown wealthy and powerful 2 NJ, The
people are coming to see that the Re
publican party IS allied with tie great
menopolies of the country for the pur
pose of maintaining itself in power anc
they are making ready to drop thi
great monster of oppression.

After reading the communication

our duty In expressing the feelings
of this community with regard to said
article. We were not, until then,
aware that Rock Hill was considered
a rough place, (as stated, though we
would judge that there Ii one rough
one somewhere near, that the neigh
borhood could very easily dispense
with. Though some one else might
be called upon to take the place OF

hope II we do have new correepon-

will be competent to write their own
communlcations without copying from

ant. Then after being published in
that paper, was copied and added
to, and sent to the DEMOCRAT for
publication. I am the correspondent
to the Statesman which is we'll known
In this neighborhood, and at first 1t
was claimed to be me because they
had seen part of 1t in the Statesman,
some of our most respected people
consider 1t an insult to them and their
families. OF course we know who
to suspect and warn him to look ga
leetle oudt' In the future. We would
advise him to say nothing about that
young man that ne is going 10 blow
in the papers soon. Mrs. Parrish
says there was no young lady from
Lebanon that mlsbehaved herself at
her party, and ii this same young
man had not been refused the pleas
ure of her company to this party, he
probably would not have been SO
quick in noticing her faults.

sheep husbandry In the United States,

It's future prosperity, and we therefore
respect the demands Of the representa-
tiyes Of this important agricultural in
terest for q roadjustmept of duty upon

shall have full and adequate protection.
We therefore demand that the imposi-
ton Of duties on foreign imports shall

in raising tho requisite revenue for the
government such duties shall DO 80 lew
led as to afford security to our diversi-
fed industries and protection To the
rights and wages Of the laborer 80 that
active, intelligent labor,as we'll AZ capi-
tal, may have its just reward, and the
laboring man his full share in the ma
tional prosperity. Against the so called
economical system OF tho Democratic
party, which would degrade our labor Ia
the foreign standard, we enter our ear
nest protest. The democratic party has
failed completely to relieve. the people
of the burden of unnecessary taxation
by wiso reduction OF the surplus. The
republican party pledges itself TO COT
rect the irregularities of the tariff, and
to reduce the surplus,u not by the vicious
and indiscriminate process of horizontal
reduction, but by such methods as will
relieve the taxpayers, without injurinG

REPUBLICAN eLAP.TRAP.

The great Republican Convention has
come and gone-its work is before the
country. Will it be approved? On the
answer to that Question depends much
more than can be written In these col
umns. The position Of that party on
the tariff question alone ought to work
its utter annihilatiop. 1t processes to be
a party of progress, but by its avowali
it seeks to turn back the wheels of prog
ress for more than two hundred and If
ty years,to exhume from the tomb Of
the buried past, theories that have
been tried and rejected because of their
rank injustice and because they fetter-
ed and impaired the prosperity of every
nation under the sun when they have
been tried.
Here in it's bold deliverence, let it be
placed on record for future thought an d
consideration: "Ic is the first duty of a
good government to protect the rights
and promote the interests of its people.

ductive ofgeneral prosperity and of the
comfort and independence of the peo-
pie. We recognize the Importance of

The Union Signal, organ of the
Woman's Christian Temperance Union,
published at Chicago, and edited by
Mrs. Willard has this to say of Blaine:
Games g. Blaine proposed in let
ter over his own signature to pay back
to each state its government tax on al
coholic liquors. This puts a premium
on the amount of that tax In each and
appeals for continuance of the traffic
directly to the pocket books of the bust
ness community. Mr.. Blaine offers
wine at his table and deems total abb
stinenee mild form of lunacy." OF
Mr.. Logan the Signal say,: "John A.
Logan's fAvorite scheme is to make the
liquor traffic support the public schools
thus attempting to yoke our educational
system IN the unholiest alliance known
to history" And yet from past exper-
fence and observation we suppose all
good loyal temperance republicans will
now begin to throw their hats high in
the air and shout lastily for Blaine and
Logan.

On the night following the election
at Scio when the canvass OF the votes
had been made there and in franklin
Butte, and it was found that Gal"
Johnson had majority in the Forks
for Sheriff, his friends laid in supply
Of powder and had their anvils ready
to belch forth the laundering tones of
victory. But they were utterly con-
founded at this point when the wires
with Tightening speed brought the news
that Uncle Jim" Charlton had over
200 majority outside of the "Forks."
We have not learned what they propose
to do with the powder.

Several Republicans from various
parts OF the county have been In the

the causes of the defeat of "Al" John

are mad is putting it mildly. They
declare everlasting eumity against
those who did it. Well, gentlemen,
we will simply say that it was the
very best class Of Republicans who
did this work, "but for goodness
sake don't say I told you"

As an evidence of the pure methods
which would have been introduced into
Oregon cities, if woman srf age had
carried we would call attention to the
fact that at the late election woman
sufragists printed and distributed
thousands of Democratic and R4publi-
can tickets with the words "First
Amendment to the State Constellation
- Yes" with the evident purpose of
securing the vote of unwary, thought
less persons in favor of the amendment.
When the Lords of Creation" in their
earnest zeal to carry an election resort
to this well-known "trick" it is looked
upon by the great class of respectable
voters as discreditabIe. Ii this is the
first lesson men are 20 learn in politics
from women, then we have nothing to
hope from them in the way of purifying
the "Gl:hy pool of politics."
