The state rights democrat. [volume] (Albany, Linn County, Oregon) 1865-1900, 1886-04-02

Whenever the land thieves have been
intsrfsred with by our Democratic ad-
minis.ration it has raised an angry howl
from the Republican Lress from Maine
to CaIifornis. When the cattle barcns
are compelled to vacate their stolen
possessions, the same organs howl again.
When the railroad steals are opened up
to view aud thsy are called TO account,
every Republican editor is up in arms
and ready to fight. When the protect,
ed monopoly is to have its robberies OF
the masses interfsred with, they shout
for the poor laboring man and when
the administration attempts to investi.
gate the fraudulent patents of the
swindling monopoly Of the Bell TeIe-
phone Company, every mothers son Of
them is hsard bowling himself hoarse
at the administration. All ths corrupt
rings that grew VI, and fourished dur
ing the long years of Republican rule
have gathered themselves together for
a combined ASSAULT upon the admins
traticn, and it is thu duty Of every Dem
scrat and all good citizsps to stand by
the President in bis great work Of re-
form. He is strong man, hut be
needs the support and encouragement
Of the people. The Democratic party
must stand by him or perish. There
may be differences Of opinion about
minor matters, but here there must tie
q solid front and no wayering. In the
great contest with the combiued power
Of the monspolists and public plnpder-
srs, Grover Cleveland and his party
must stand or fall together. Stand BY
him.

As a rule, il will be found that TIM
merchants, business men and the people
generally, who hAYe closely investigated
our revenue system, are 10 faves Of =
very thorOugh revision Of our tariff
schedule, The people are really in favor
Of going much further than Congress Is
likely to eo--further TRAN the Morrison
bill oontemplates--in the direction Of
tax reduction aud revenue reform. In
fact, the Morrison bill falls very far
short Of the Democratic platform on
which Mr.. Cleveland was elected 90 the
Presidency. II points the right way,
but il falls short OF tha demands Of pub
lie sentiment.
The arst object in view is to etf<ct a
reduction Of war taxes. There is no
question as to either the justice or ad-
visibility of this. Why there should
be any question as to time and Cxpeei-
oncy in matter which IL is obviously
necessary should DO considered and
acted upon at tbs earliest possible mo-
ment, in the interest Of the people who
indirectly pay these taxes, We are at q
loss to understand. II Is said in some
quarters that tha Morrison Tariff bill
will not decrease the revenues. Thoas
who say this probably mean that when
the tariff is lowered the greater impor.
tatiOu that will take place will make
up for the reduction. Admitting this
statement to be true, il will hardly tC
controverted that to the extent duties
are paid under the new tariff, to that
extent wilt taxation be reduced TO the
amount Of Is or Is OF 20 per Gpnt, OF
whatever il NAV be, will the burden ol
war taxes be- lighsened. There is ne
saving the proposition that it is easier
to pay so cents than to pay a dellar.
But ths chief object OF the bill is TO
inAugurate tariff rsform-to make be-
ginning. This it does. IL is not COM
prshensive or radical--it is simply q
beginning. We all understand that q
radical revision Of the tariff at once
would affect injuriously many imPor.
tant Interests, and for the time bsing
cause certain branches Of industry ssri.
Gus embarrassment. This danger e
averted By the present bill. II propos-
es to open the doors Of Congress for re-
form, but to accomplish it gradually.

1ME CoMISG C0TSTY CONVENTION.

Now that the County Democratic
Convention for the county has been
duly called to meet, it becomes the duty
OF every Democrat in the county to so
to work amOrg his ueighbor Dem
ocrats and friends TO secure har.
mony ia the party, and a full
and united vote. il is the worst kind
Of folly to become dissatisfied about the
action of conventions, as sometimes
happens, because those whom wo think
should be nominated bave been defeat
ed. What difference to the great body
Of the party does it make whether the
Sheriff shall be frem Hslssy or Water
loo,or the Clerk from Syracuse or Sweet
Home. Wo1ld it not be better for the
people Of Brownsville, for instance, to
have a good, honest, efficient Assessor
selected from among the Democrats Of
Shsdd precinct, than to have an incsm-
petent one selected from among them
selves This is a good, wholesome sound
rule to go by, not only as applicable to
the Office Of Assessor, hut to every of
fee which the people will be called up
on to fill !; and applicable DOT only to
Brownsville precinct, but to every pre-
cinct in the county. We have good
advicss from all parts Of the county ON
this subject. Democrats all around
seen determined 10 banish from the par
ty such divisions and dissensisns as in
. few cases have led to defeat. Let us
be faithful to the entire body of the
people by nominating faithful, honest,
cOmpessnt men, and they will be elected
by largely Increased majority.

UNCONSTITUTIONAL.

The Supreme Court rendered its
decision in the Registry law case last
wednesday, declaring 1t unconstitu.

Thayer dissenting. 1t will be re-
memoered the Democrat took the
ground In the SegiuNing that lit was
doubtful whether the law was CEN
stilutional. People who felt that the
law was imposing heavy and unnec-
essary restrictions upon voters will
row find these burdens removed.
II is, therefore not necessary to reg
lister. Don't do It.

is highly important that good, safe men
be selected from each precinct to attend
the County Convention. These men
are to represent the wishes of the pre-
ciDct in the County Convention. See
that men who will make the interests
of the party paramount to tie interests
of any candidate, are elected as dele

important that the party should elect
its entire ticket, than that some parti-
cular man shou!d be elected Sheriff,
