The notes OF preparation for the state
and national campaigns are now begin
ming to be heard al along the line. Clubs
Of beth parties are being formed In various
parts Of the state. Democrats In Multno.
nah and Marion, the two strongest repub-
lican counties In the state, are actively at
work In organizing for the coming fray.
This is Significant and should have the
effect of diffuslng some Of the old time
spirit of democracy among the members
Of tho party throughout the state. Let
democrats be up and doing, for the cause
OF democratic reform IN the financial and
other departments Of the general govern.
ment calls for devotion and aggressive
work. Let all past differences and dlssen.
sions be laid aside and let us organize for
an old-time victory. Let the democrats of
Liam county awake and put on the armor
Of battle. Let by-gone dlssensions and
differences be sacrificed and wiped out for
the general good. United and earnest,we
can carry the county by 800 majority. Di.
vided and indiflerent,we will lose it.While
eur friends,the enemy,are saying nothing
aloud that weuld indicate preparation for
the coming contest, yet indications come
to light every day that show them to be
quietly busy making ready to take advan-
tage Of any mistake that democrats may
make. tits the duty Of every democrat
and independent In the state to staad up
and strengthen the haads OF the national
administration that has been So exception
ally pure ahd honest.

" by the rich. The tariff rate on common

Of glass Is used largely by tho poor. On
silk dress and piece goods and silk ribbons,
the rate was SO per cent. The rich use
silks. On shawls the rate was "a per cent.
On velvets and velyeteens, used mostly by
the rich, the rate was 70 per cent. On

Woolsn goods ara necessity 70 the poor.
On jewelry, used mainly BY the rich, the

TARIFF.

The Weekly Pioneer, republican,publish-
ed at Astoria, makes the following sensi
BILE talk on tariff revision aud revenue re-
duc,ion
"The more carefully and dispassiOnately
President Cleycland's message Is studied
leaving partisan consideration on one side,
the more surely convinced will any honest
critic become that its opinions and sug-
gestions are in line with the best interests
Of the country from every material point
Of view The threatened congestion Of
the national treasury has made this matter
plain. 1t is generally conceded that the
government revenues must be reduced,
and the only question Is whether they
shall BE- recuced in the interests Of farm
ers, working men and the non-ma nufac-
turing class, or solely in the interests Of
mill and factory bosses. We are confront
ed with a huge surplus in the treasury,
constantly growing. The tariff alone dur
ing the fiscal year yielded $7I7,oooooo
whereas ten years ago II produced but
Sr3o,oooooo. ORe-half of the present
custom taxes would be amply sufficient

meat We think that the American man
ufacturer should stop pleading the baby
act, and stop invoking government protec-
ton for "infant" industries and take his
chance with tariff that Is revenue. There
should be no special laws for anybody
that do not contribute to the general

a republican contemporary tells about
how the democrats of the South are divi-
ded on the tariff question, and how, in
consequence thereof, several Southern
states win support the republican candi-
date fer president. tits strange how soon
some people forget, but we would say to
our cotemporary that this same story was
teIegraphed and published all ever the
country 1884 times in the campaign OF
1884, and yet not single Southern state
voted for Blaine. We suppose there il
much consoling comfort to republican
leaders to nibble at these little crumbs, but
they are not to be depended on in POlit-
ical campaign.

FAIRPLAY.


All the taxes that spirituous liquors and
tobacco can be made to pay should always
be collected. That is, the taxes on these
commodities ought always to be kept at as
high a rate as possible without creating
incentives to fraud and SO defeating the
object. Another thing, II we strike off
the one hundred millions of revenue an
nually obtained by the national treasury
through these taxes, then mo- modification
Of the tariff on imports will be possible,
There is tax on all the neccssaries fife,
amounting probably to S5ooooo,ooo year,
which is paid by consumers,of which, how
ever, only about one-third goes into the
national treasury, while the other two
thirds are divided as special bounties and
subsidies among favored individuals and
corporations. Free trade in these peces-
sary commodities is not expected or de-
Sired but a reasonable modification and
reduction Of the rates Of duty ought to be
granted OyegOnia1, Nov. 77th, 1882.
And yet the Oyego1iaa will not say such
sensible things during the coming cam
paign.

The Eleventh Congressional District OF
Michigan has just held special election
In which the republican candidat. has won
BY 300 plurality. In 1886 the republicans
carried this district by s,z43, and in 1884
by7,47s. In 1884 Blaine carried Michigan
by plurality Of 3,3oS. If the Eleventh
District had given him only 500 he would
have lost the electoral vote of the state by
over $500. That district alone pulled him
throngh. 1t is great lumberproducing
region and the Presidents recommenda-
ions in favor Of putting lumber on the
free list have doubtless been used there for
all they are worth The astonishing de-
cay Of the republican majority is a presage
of democratic victory this fail throughout

General Sheridan has been interviewed
by an agent of the associated press at
Washington City with reference to his be
ing a candidate for the presidency,an de-
clares his unalterabIe purpose of not ac-
cepting the nomination should it be tend
cred to him. II is evident that the many
republican papers that have deSIared for
Sheridan, did SO for no other reason than
that they thought he was the only man
they had that could be elected. No man
Of good sense would ever think of choos-
ing Sheridan in place of such men as
Sherman, Hawley, Gresham and Allison,
If he thought the chances Of any Of these
latter for election was as good as Sheri-
dan's.

A Massachusetts journal declares thai
all Eastern wool manufacturer would
openly advocate free wool II they were
not afraid OF the opposition OF the weoi
growers to the duty on manufactures of
wool. This statements probably correct,
and Il implies no reflection on either the
consistency or the good sense Of the wool
grower. His Tigkt to all the protection
which the tariff can give Is as clear and
indefeasible as that Of the man who con.
yerts the wool into clsth,yarn Or blankets.
--4asferias.
Here IL the same old falIacy. Formerly,
pretecsionists demanded tariff In order
to protect the "infans industries" Of the
country. Now, they are demanding one
to protect the iaborers Of the country. But
here comes the woolen manufacturers and
propose to advocate free wool, II they can
retain protective tariff for themselves,
and the wool men would sacrifice every
interest of the laborer II they have to give
up protection on wooi. But while these
protected gentlemen are about to fall out
among themselves, what consideration is
to be given TO the millions Of farmers, me
labOrers and other non protected
people who pay all these war taxes and
get nothing in return

The East OyegOnian says the Willamette
Valley papers are very much interested
in Eastern Oregon, so mnch so that they
want that section to have the next Con-
gressman. And this it says is done for
the purpose OF enabling the valley to claim
the Senator to be elected to succeed Doiph.
So far as we know, the democrats of the
valley feel that IL a democrat can be found
in the valley who can be elected,and such
a one cannot be found in Eastern Oregon,
then they will demand the nomination of
the valley man and rice ysysa. And the
same about the Senator. But suppose the
democrats can elect the Congressman and
cannot elect the Senator Then the sec
ton that gets the congressional nomina-
ton IS ii lack, (niay be) If the Easf ore
eoniaB can name valley man who can be
elected, name him and we will demand his
nomination, whether II be Mr.. BiIyeu, Mr..
Weaiherford MI Gearin or any other
whom that paper names.

ELECTRIC LIGHTS.

The city has entered into contract with
Mr.. n. II. Allen for lighting the city with
electric lights. II has been suggested by
anumber OF citizens that the county should
light up the Court House aud jail yard
with these lights. II would certainly be
a great convenience to the people Of the
county when attending Court and other
official business to be able to find their
way to the Court House without running
chances Of breaking leg or n neck on un
certain sidewalks. But the greatest bene.
fit would be derived from lighting the Jail
and jail yard, where 50 many attempts
have been made to llberate criminals. The
suggestion we believe l. good one
