MIR. Morton has written his letter
of acceptance in which he does some
sensible talking on tho tariff. He
says: The present reason given for
once again trying the experiment of
revenue tariff without protection as
a motive or end, is that the present
tariff has produced and is producing
a surplus in the treasury. but is it
not easily within the wisdom of con
gress to adjust the national iueome
to the national expenditures with
oht sacrificing or even imperilip~ .hc
industrial system VII mas brought
untold advantages to, the aAtlre
cop1tryf Admitting that the pres
eat Tariff, by the lapse of time and
large expansions of trade which it
has stimulated, needs revision, is it
not wiser and mpre patriotic 10 re-
vlse 1t with regard to tie iBtatests OF
profession than with the purpose of
lessenlng its protective features?
Ihese are some of the questions
which mnst be answered at the ma
tIonal polls in November. For nv.
self, as a citizen and as candidate.
L do not hesitate to declare that from
long observation ] am an unwayet-
ing friend of the protective system.
In business life now extending
over torty years, / have witnessed
and compared the effect upon the
country OF a revenue tariff tending
10 free trade with a protective tariff
encouraging home industries. Un
der the former, the development OF
the country has always been arrest
ed, while under the latter it has uni-
formly beer promoted by meu who
earn their bread by the sweat of
thsir brows. The difference between
the systems is that of narrowing the
chances on the one hand and extend
,ng the opportunities ON the other.
free trade would open America to
competition with the whole world. |
protection reserves America for the
Americans, native and adopted. The

The Prohibition Vote

The democratic press, all over the
North, i5 rejoicing greatly over
prospectively largo prohibition vote
this year Is the democratic press
interested in the principles of the
prohibition party? Is the real cause,
the fact that, in the opinion of said
press, the prohibition vote is drawn
far more largely from the republican
than from the democratic party? Ii
this be so, is it creditable to the dem
ocratic party? Still they rejoice and
rejoice. They hope that derac~
ton from the republican party will
give them a few northern states and
thus keep them in power. Ii our
prohibition friends would ponder
this fact somewhat more than they
do, and mark carefully the avidity
with which the democracy rejoices at
every prohibition advance they would
be far more cautious about pushing
out into the political arena. Why do
not as many democrats as republi-
cans join the prohibition movement?
Is it not because the democratic par
ty, on the whole is far less permea-
ted with the idea of moral reform
Is it not because more of the best
element of the North are found in
the Republican partyi If this be
true. then why do prohibitionists
throw themselves into a helpless mi
nority and help to place in power
the party of feeble moral eenvic-
tionss
The candidacy of Judge Greene
for congress will not draw ten votes
from Mr.. Voorhees, in the whole
of the territory. It will draw a
few hundred of votes FROM hfr. Allen.
Mr. AlleR is a staunch temperance
man, as good man in every sense
of the word as Judge Greene. We
have yet to find one solid reason why
prohibition vote should be lost on
Judge Greene, whom ae ono shppos-
es for d moment can be elected,
rather than given to Mr. Allen,
whose election would te assured il he
could have the hearty support of all
republican prehibitionists Will it
be more agreeable to these voters
that by-their lost votes such 4 man
as Voorhees, is sent to congress, one
who represents 10 moral principle,
than that their support should place
man of stalwart moral worth like
John B. Allen in congress- rs CUR
delegate? We eaa hot see why it
should
We have no quarrel with Judge
Greene. We think he did wrong to
lead an attack on the Republican
party just as soon as he ceased to
draw his pap from the government
COW. He probably had all the moral
convictions a few years ago that he
has now. Yet then he was a very
devoted republican and now he is a
very destructive prohibitionist. Still
it il The privilege of every man to
stand politically just where he pleas
es, and we have no quarrel with any
man because of his politics.
Neither do wa hsiieSe the election of
Mr. Alien depends at all on the sup
port of the political prohibitionists
of the territory. Neither do we be-
lieve that the vote for Fiske will de
feat Harrison. AS a republican we
desire, however, that all the moral
forces possible should be coneentra-
ted in the republican parry, party
of grand ideas-great achievements
and Of energetic moral purposes,

Another exhibition OF Chinese
shrewdness was manifested in New
York last, Saturday. Yust Sing, a
merchant, was married in San Fran

conclusion that the ceremonies were
not binding enough, and decided TO
tie the knot over. All the wealthy
Chinese merchants in the state were
invited to attend the wedding, and a
great banquet was spread. When
the affair was over, Sing figured up
and found that be had made Just

Our local democracy seem to think
that the west side of the Sound does
not need any representation in the
council. Last election, with very in
tense vigor, they helped defeat a
west side man, in order to secure the
election OF Whatcorm man. This
year they have nominated another
east side man and propose to do their
best that the west side shall have no
representative. Whatcom cares very
little indeed Tor west side interests.
Why do our democratic friends es-
tssm Whatcom's interests SO much
greater than our ownf We are of
opinion that the people generally,
from Shelton to Quilahute, will feel
that they should now be represented
In the upper house of the Legislature.
As Whatcom was represented in that
house last legislature, we believe they
will feel very willing TO grant that
privilege to the west side this cleo,
