The Mills Bill.

The ADVOCATE has said that the Mills
bill is not perfect, but ii is step in the
right direction. 1t will reduce the reve-
nue., however, about seventy-eight millions
of dollars, and leave that sum in the pock-
cts of the people 1t is far better than
the present tariff, that taxes rubber boots
and shoes 20 per cent. and imposes but 10
per cent on precious stones; that taxes
jewelry % per cent. and oil cloths 40 per
cent; that taxes silver plated harness 30
per cent. and cotton stockings 40 per cent;
that taxes India shawls of the finest quality
40 per cent. and imposes Sc per cent. on
wooden shawls.

children.s pav at MT. Pleasant.

Children's day has come again, and Mt.
Pleasant, which has been in the front ranks
for children's day service, put forth her best
efforts to keep up the high standard hereto
fore attained. The church was beautifully
decorated with flowers gathered from the sur
rounding neighborhood. The flower yards,
gardens, fields and woods receiving strict at
tention from the children, and were not over
looked by the grown people, the church be-
came one mass of flowers of almost every de-
scription. The monstrous arch and cross in
front of the altar was grand, but the moss
mound in the pulpit, trimmed with different
kinds of flowers and evergreen, was perhaps
the grandest floral display ever witnessed in
this community, and reflected great credit on
the ladies of the church. Taken as whole
the floral display exceeded any thing ever
gotten up at Mount Pleasant Long before
the hour for commencing crowds of people
began to gather and soon every seat and all
the standing room available was filled to the
utmost capacity; the pshers were unable to
accommodate more and hundreds were COM
PEELED to remain outside. Miss Alverda La
motto, the organist for the school, began with
voluntary on the organ. Then the program
for children's day was taken up and followed,
interspersed with recitations by Carrie Lind
say, Edna Knox, Elsa Rranning and Master
SilaS parnesJ WIN llauc Tue coilectloh du'
dress. The program was also added too by
singing, "The Happy Buehlaland," by Edna
Knox as a solo with full chorus by the infant
class; also "Pleading with Thee" as quar-
tette by Miss Ella Lamotte, Miss Alverda
Lamotte, l.. A. j. Lamotte and N. G, Har
den, assisted by Miss Rose Orendoff and Ada
Zepp. Before the programe was finished the
threatning appearance of the weather caused
the Pastor, Rev. C. C. Cook, to propose close
ing as large number of people were outside.
This caused the exercises to be shortened.
The school sang '0nward, Christian Sol
diers," and then were dismissed. This was
a grand children's day service, one that will
not be forgotten very soon. The singing and
general management was conducted by E,
Everett Harden who acquitted himself with
credit, Miss Alverda Iiamotte presided at
the organ assisted by s. S. Mensore.

Fhe tariff is an average of Al per cent
The Mills bill proposes reduction of 7
per cent. only, leaving the tariff at 40 Pc
cent. And yet the Republicans falsely
represent that the Democrats support free
trade. Mendacity can no further go.

Political Notes.

Roswell P. Flower, of New York, in speak
ing of Democratic nominees, said The
nomination is the strongest one that could
possibly be made; nothing can keep the Dem
ocratic party from success on the present
issue. Cleveland brings into the campaign
his magnificent record and an increased vote
in the State of New York. Thurman brings
with him the united body of Democracy. No
man can be nominated on the Republican
ticket who will win if the fight is made ON the
present issue-tariff reform and reduction
against high protective tariff.
1t is announced that about 400 clubs will
be represented by about 5000 delegates at the
National Convention of Democratic Clubs, to
be held in Baltimore on the Fourth of July.
Thus far clubs are registered as intending to
send delegates from the States of New Hamp-
shire, Mas achusetts, Rhode Island, Connec-
ticut, New York, New Jersey, Pennsylvania,
Delaware, Maryland, Virginia, North Caro-
Ohio, Indiana, Illinois, Michigan, Wisconsin,
Mississippi, Minnesota, Iowa, Nebraska, Mis-
souri,, Kansas, Colorado, California, Tennes-
see, Washington Territory and the District of
Columbia.
The following is taken from the Congress
sionaI Record of Friday, June 8, and if those
WIN CTOWeu lOuuly over the result III Ore-
gon are satisfied with it, Democrats will not
complain. The subject under discussion was
land grants and the timber trust:
Oregon Goes RepHJlieda-Rai Influences Control
tpitt a rice to the SendtOrship.
BY Telegraph to the New York Herald.
PORTLAND June 3, 1883.
This State went Republican yesterday by about
LOCO majority The real issue was the Senatorship.
The Legislature Just elected will chose u United
States Senator and the corporation influenees-the
Northern Pacific Railroad-are powerful inl the State
and on the Republican side, because the Democratic
policy about land grants has been bitterly opposed
and resented by the railroad.
The New York Weekly Post, in reply to a
letter from subscriber charging it with in-
consistency in supporting Mr.. Cleveland on a
tariff issue, in spite of his failure to fulfil all
his civil-service reform promises-the nrinei-
pal basis on which the Post supported his first
candidacy-thus defines its position; ''If we
saw the smallest chance of Cleveland's being
opposed by any one who would carry out or
come anywhere near carrying out the pledges
| Cleveland made in 1884, we should not be
prevented by any concern for the tariff from
supporting him, because we know well that
tariff reform is not within the President S
reach while civil-service reform is. But we
see no prospect of anything of the kind. In
the present condition of the Republican party
we see no possibility of it. 1.-THE Republican
Convention dominates a fit man it will be with
the intention of knitting him; if it dominates
bad one, it will be with the view of using
his clothes to disguise the we'll known features
of James G, Blaine"

Tammany Society had rousing ratif-
cation meeting on Tuesday night. Gen.
eral Cochrane and Governor Hill made
speeches highly eulogistic of Cleveland
and Thurman. Resolutions endorsing the
Democratic nominees for President and
Vice President, and the platform, were
adopted.

The Oregon election shows so trifing q
gain for the Republicans that there is no
room for boastings In 1886 their majority
was ,635; in 1884 twas 2,O47; in 1882
it was Z, 1865; in 1888 they claim the State
by $500. A gain of 1875 over 1882, is
but small affair, especially as il is known
that they used money freely in that State,
with the view of carrying the Legislature
and saving their Z. s. Senator.

On farm near Springfield, Missouri, on
May 81, George, the l4-year-old son of Mrs.

suicide. The mothers grief took a very vic.

boys life. On Saturday she confessed that
she had drugged the boy with morphine and
then dragged him to the barn and hanged

Congressman Shaw considers the tin plate
industry in this country primordial proto-
plasmic germ. What does he think of wool ?
The germs encased by that commodity have
brisk and gay skipping and playing qualities
which entitle them to some consideration
from Maryland congressman. The farmers
of Carroll will hardly care to see their profits
drop eight or ten cents on the pound.-Bal-
fB,ore 1meriean.
The Democratic farmers of Carroll are
not concerned about drop in wool, but
they arc concerned about the drop in the
Republican party, next November, which
will be made to skip in more lively man
ner than any vool-germ eyer witnessed.

What Is the Cause of TIP

The Pittsburg, Pa, Post says: Reduction
in wages is the order of the day in steel and
iron industries. Yet workmen will observe
there has been no reduction In dnties. If the
tariff made wages the old wage could be paid.
The demand for manufactured products has
not fallen off. The signal was given at Brad
dock, from the most highly protected industry,
that there was an excess in the labor supply,
and it was good time to pull down wages.
The other manufacturers are suspepding.
