A Correction.

1t has recently come to our knowledge that
parties arc circulating a report that we are
going out Of the boot and shoe business. We
wish to state that such is not the case, but
that we have to-day larger stock in that
line than ever before, and that we have many
new and elegant styles not to be found else
where in town.

Speaking of building up our State, few

Where 1t, as well as other Oregon papers,
goes, II is extensively read, and we know OF
many cases where immigration has been
made here through its influence. The
DEMOCRAT makes it point not to allow an

Linn county. Unlike men In business
we do more rustling for others than we do

A bombshell has been thrown into the
camp of the free traders, and they are
very much disconnected. 1t will be
shown undoubtedly that the basis of
their free trade campaign has been to
great extent knocked from beneath them
by their own acts, The foundation for
the free trade agitation has been the ex-
istence of what has been called an enor-
nous surplus. The cry about the sur
plus has been so persistent and appar-
emily so well founded that conservative
men who were acquainted with the facts
have not been willing to publicly express
themselves or to attempt to dispel a pop
Ular delusion. But it is a fact well
known to those who follow the course
Of the Treasury and are familiar with
the outstanding obligations of the Gov
eminent that if an accurate balance had
been struck at any time for several
years (such balance as any business
man would insist upon in the manage
ment of his private affairs it would have
been shown that there is not an enor-
nous surplus in the Treasury; that, on
the contrary, if proper estimate should
be taken of the legitimate outstanding
obligations of the Government and of
the honest debts of the Government
which have been either postponed or the
payment of which has been refused,
owing to attempts OF demagogues to
pose as professional ecouomists,it would
appear that the margin of receipts over
expenditures is no greater than prudent
business methods require.
