the members of his family who were about him. He
had gained in strength pcrccpbly, and his condition
was better than It had been since Friday. There

But instead Of this the expectation OF

JuTE SACKS.

The Herald quotes an article from the
7fdiHgs to show that the duty on jute sacks
Is a good thing for the farmer and people
at large. The Herald approves what the
TSdisgs says.for 1t calls the article a"trnth-
ful airing" The article pooh, poohs, and
belitiles the protest which farmers set up
against the inexcusable folly and injustice
OF making them pay a tax of one cent on
every hushel OF grain to be shipped in sacks
when the government does not need this
tar, when there is but one jute mill on this
coast to protect, and whose employees are
largely Cinnamon at that, and a. time
when farmers find extreme difficulty in
making both ends meet In raising grain to
ship TO a free trade country to find mark
ct where they are compelled to compete
with the cheapest pauper labor in all the
world. In order to show the contemptu-
Gus manner and disdain with which the
7Tdiags and Herald treat this important in
terest of the farmer, we quote what they
say:
"rhe democratic papers have had vio-
| lent attack of sympathy for the American
| farmer, brought about by the discovery thar
| a duty Is imposed upon jute bags, amount
| ing to two cents for a two-bushel sack.
What a striking text fer discourSes upon
| the iniquity of the tariff and It's robbery OF
the farmers One cent upon every busheI
| OF wheat stolen from the hushandnan b.
pur thievine rrorectinn vtoe."

| indeed
We have heretofore shosa ~
| umns that the farmers of this coati, s..i
ship over two million bushels OF grain this
year. The tax on the sacks necessary to
ship this grain will amount to over twenty
thousand dollars nearly enough to pay the
current expenses of Linn county for a
whole year. And this burden on the farm
ers the Herald treats as a mere bagatelle, a
mere trihe which farmers should quietly
submit to without protest,and when they
| do protest 1t treats them with ridicule and
sarcasm as shown above. The Herald will
| find that the farmers are not tools aoou'
this tax which they are compelled to pay
| without reason or excuse. Every farmer
knows that an advance of one cent pei
bushel on grain is very material and i'm
portant addition to the profits, Qf there are
any, in wheat growing, and now, in view
of the fact that for several years 1t has beer
grave question whether grain growing
can be made to sustain itself,they are In nc
humor to endure such ridicule as is extend
ed to them In the above extract. The Her
aid will find 1t difficult and burdensoms
task to make farmers believe that their fl
nancial condition Is made better by taxing
them one cent bushelon their grain with
out the shadow of necessity, reason or JUS
tice.

Another Swindle.

A swindle of proportions that out
rival Bohemian oats has come to light,
after having been worked on unsus-
pecting Marionites to the tune of about
$4,000 in actual fraud. The medium
this time is not vegetable but animal,
and the innocent and pleasant little
Jersey COW is the wool over the
swindled eyes. Last spring a fellow
landed here from the hills of Vermont
and at once became agreeable and
friendly with creamery people. He
soon advertised himself as an agent for
Jersey cows and their rare worth in To-
calities where creameries flourished,
was ably set forth by the said agent
The Jersey milk contained paying per
cent. of cream, and creameries paid on
test measure. Several became inter-
ested in the Jersey COW enterprise and
Geo. Myers was sent to headquarters to
find out if things were all right. Mr..
Myers became enthusiastic after his
visit, and bought twenty cows. Mr..
Huber bought several, B. Kanable
bought a good lot and various other
persons invested expecting to push the
Jersey dairy enterprise, "for there was
millions in it.n These gentlemen
bought on this plan: For COW whose
milk tested fifteen per cent. cream they
were to pay $3.50, and for each addi-
tional per cent. made in test, $3.50 was
to be added, so twenty per cent. test
made $50 COW; thirty per cent, a $75
COW, and so on. But the agent led all
to believe that twenty per cent. was
the maximum average and the cows
would not cost over $50 per head. Last
week IS head landed here. the buyers
divided them and they were soon duly
and fairly tested. Imagine, if you can,
the way some blinded eyes were opened
when they found the cows testing
fifty-five, sixty and sixty-five per cent,
making their cost about 500 more per
head than the represented price. Every
COW tested away up, terribly up, and
the bunch figures up $4,000 more than
the buyers expected. Some of the vic
TINS have already managed to compro-
mise, settling for about $40 per head, a
figure that makes the loss about $25 per
head. There may be a general compro-
mise for, though expensive, that seems
the cheapest way out of the trouble

The press and orators of the Repubi-
can party are bowling for high protec-
ton and against free trade. At the
very moment they are doing this, a
Republican Senate is bowling for new
tariff bill they have introduced for S75,-
100000 reduction of the revenue. What
can sober, honest men think of such
actions? Is it st all strange that many
good men are leaving party that is so
divided within itself that no beneficial
legislation can come from it in any
shape? The people dare not trust their
governmental affairs in the hands of
such confederation of hungry office
seekers who have no interest in COM
mon with the masses of the American
people, but devote their time to laying
snares to catch the ignorant voters.
