Free Trade Dishonesty.

Ii is difficult TO believe in the sin
cerity of free trade writers. The cru

seems TO be founded ON falsehood. As
sertions are made that no one who is
sane or intelligent could put forth. un-
less for the purpose Of deceiving it
Is the same in congress as with tn,
paInphleteer of the Golden propagaii-
da. An NJ G.. with no apparent fear
of the foolkiller, declares that the az.
riculttral productions Of 1860 were.
worth IA larger sum than the immense
crops of 1880. Another says that

(the horses moving in two dircctions)
of diminishing the cost of cloth to tlI,
consumer, and increasing the price o.
wool 10 the wool grower. Every free
trade writer for the press, with few eX-
ceptions. manufactures his assumed
facts, deiies logic, insults reason, and
overrides common sense. Tie college
professors fOisted upon educational
institutions by the propaganda are
generally amenable to the same
charge. TIL ,ouns men eaica,-u nv

the largest crop of apples aud cherries

An editorial in the New York S,tn
OF the 23d inst, in favor of rendering
TiIden the democratic presidential
nomination, is the subject of good
deal of talking among democrats in
congress. 1t is generally admitted
that the sun speaks for Tiiden and it
Is taken to mean that he wants the
nomination. A democratic senator
said that from all he had been able to
gather, he had no doubt of Tiden <

Perhaps the most striking feature of
the situation il the refusal of the
banking and business interests
throughout the country to be stanpe-

on New York. The business of the

Popular Sentiment.

The Portland Standard becomes daily
more and more joyful over our ticket,
platform and prospects.
The Oregopian speaks in the very
highest terms of John Myers and Gov.
Thaver, and thus it refers to our tariff
plank:
''The tariff resolution adopted by the
Democratic convention is a good one
Tor Oregon. But it will net be accept
ed, even by the Democratic party, in
the manufacturing States. And
though Oregon and other non-manufac-
turing States were plundered BY the
protection which the east sxacts, re-
monstrance on our part is almost use
less against the overwhelming political
weight Of those States which insists On
policy that keeps out foreign goods in
order that their own profits may be en-
hanced at our expense.
The Sunday Welcome truthfully
says: "The man who would refuse to
support the platforn adopted by the
Democratic State convention at The
Dalles would refuse to support his own
family. The planks referring to the
forfeiture Of unearned railroad lands;
more effective mechanics' lien law; the
abolition of the prison contract system
and law to bring about uniform as
sessmsnt and taxation are especially
streng and tinely, and viii meet with
much favor among the people through
cut the State"
Every fair-minded Republican paper
In the State mention a good word for
the work done at The Dallss. Occa-
sionally there ID an exception, notably
the Eugene Journal. which thinks Mr..
Myers is net qualified to represent Or
egon in congress. The mental calibsr
Of that journal warranted us in ex-
Bully; success ia now Ger
taia." All the Democratic papers are
over an unexceptionally
good ticket and an incomparably wise
proncunciation Of true principles.

Our Ticket.

our reference to the candidates noni
mated last week at The Dalles was not
SO full ~ we desired it should be. The
more we reflect the better are we salts.
6ed with them.
AS for the electors it is quite unnee-
sssary to make extended mention.
They are simply selected to represent
the voice of the people as to who shall
% president and vice president, for the
ensuing tenn. If the Democracy in
national council select good and able
men for these exalted positions we
have ne doubt that Hons. Mr.. Isor.
Fenton aud Jones will well and nobly
present their claims and that of the
platform to the people Of Oregon. We
are much gratifed with their selection.
Hon. John Myers is the right man in
the right place, and let it not be for
gotten that such is the case. He il an
old pioneer and the older he Crews the
bettsr he is likad-ths better he is
known the more higaly he is appreci-
ated. In fact like good vine, be i'm
proves with age. There is no retro
grade idea in either his mental or
moral competition. He has repeatedly
overcome large odds in his home coun-
ty for important offices, frem sheriff to
State senator, and is amply able to do
so next June. He is successful bus
mess man and eomprehends fully every
material business interest of our State.
Democrats, you can elect such a man
and therefore fail not to do your duty
from new on until the polls close.
Governor Thayer fer supreme judge
Is aa admirable choice. He really de-
serves the direct thanks of both parties
for consenting to surrender a lucrative
practice for position of high trust,
enerous labor, and limited salary. The
spirit is in the highest degree commend
able and worthy admiration. The Of
fee is not partisan one and no per-
son who desires pure and able judi
ciary should regard it in a political
light. Gev. Thayer is not distinguished
as gifted orator, but as prudent,
careful, discriminating, plain, candid
judge Of law he is the peer of any law
yer in Oregon, and so will every sensi-
ble LAWYER say. In view of the fact
that he is well and favorably known to
tho large bar of Portland, We conf
IDENTITY predict that he will carry Multi
nemah county, and he is equally well
known and liked by attorneys through
out other portions of the State. In ad-
vance We commiserate the gentleman
who may be nominated against him
and suggest, to save all trouble, that
Gov, Thayer's nomination be ratified
by the Republicans
The nomination Of Hen. J. W. Han
ilton for prosecuting attorney of this
district, meets with the utmost satls-
faction. 1t is in every respect pepu-
lar and wise selection. BIT. Hamilton
was once our prosecuting attorney and
proved himself an honora bic and eff
cient officer. Although dashing
young gentleman, Mr.. Hamilton as a
lawyer takes high rank among the cid
est. This Office is also non-politicaI and
we can safely count upon handreds Of
Republican votes for our candidate and
nobody will regret bis election.

Langley Hall of Oakland, has applied for
patent on what seems a simple invention.
II is what he terms the Bonanza Washer, to
be used on railroads, and consists of a strip
of tin, with two holes cut in it, so as to sd-
NIT the bolts, which pass through the iron
plates used IN uniting the ends of the iron
or steel rails on railroad tracks. The washer
goes next to the plate on each side sf the
joint and has slots cut SO as to turn a lip
down over the nut when screwed sufficiently
tight on the bolt. This holds the nut in its
place and prevents it frsm turning and be-
coming loose from, the jar of trains running
over the road. There is no doubt but this
invention w1l answer the purpose for which
it is designed, aud that Capt. has . fortune
in his discovery, as railroads are at an enor.
NOUS outlay lii keeping these nuts in place.
The only wsnder is that some one did not
think Of this long ago; it is so simple.
