The Folly of 1t.

Senator Sherman brought the debate on
Mr.. Plumbs resolution to focal point
when he spoke of "the folly of some pas
sages In the Presidents message, notably
the folly of endeavoring to create alarm be-
cause there was a surplus of sos 900, 900 in
the Treasury" The later Ocean said
something of the same kind on the day of
the delivery Of the message.
Mr.. Cleveland himself is to blame that
there is such surplus in the Treasury. Con-
gress provided, as Mr.. Sherman reminded
the Senate, an appropriation of 200, 900
for river aud harbor improvements, it being
the opinion of Mr.. Cleveland chief of the
department of engineers that nearly four
times as much could be wisely and profit
ably expended during the fiscal year. Mr..
Cleveland withheld his assent to the bill.
Mr.. Clevelands personal following in Con-
gress delayed the deficiency bill, with its APP
preparation of $4,000, 900, beyond the hour
of legislative action. But for the Presi-
dent and his Congressional coterie the
surplus would have been less by $22, 000,-
600. Nor is this all; his own Secretary of
the Interior complains that that depart
ment has been conducted with direct loss
of money to the Government and loss of
time and money to land buyers by reason
of niggardly appropriations. A like wall
naval appropriations have been reduced,
and also those for the military schools, for
the sole purpose of creating q fictitious
surplus which might be used as a means of
creating alarm, possibly panic, that might
precipitate free trade legislation. Nor is
this all; the amount of the surplus has
been exaggerated. Gross has been used
as equivalent to net; surplus Of S140,-
600, 600 has been spoken of where only
$66, 900, 600 remained alter liquidation of
claims.
Republican analysis Of figures has con-
firmed to the country that confidence which
the message of the President was calcu-
lated to destroy. 1t would really seem as
if the Golden Calhoun Cleveland free
trade politicians had deliberately resolved
to excite commercial terror, after having
failed to convince commercial reason of
the truth of their fiscal dogmas. The
Democratic party went into power, or rather
into place, tor as yet 1t has given no man
Hesitation of power, upon a false alarm of
danger from the Treasury surplus. II has
not only failed to devise an original meth
cd of reduction. but has also failed to use
the methods which the Republican party
left at its disposal. The Democratic party
is incapable of making a safe and sure re-
duction of either surplus or revenue. Its
fictitious pan cea would certainly impov-
erish the country, and probably would in
crease the customs revenue. There is no
difficulty in the way of quick and safe re-
duction of surplus and revenue other than
the incapacity of the Democratic party
and the willingness Of the Golden Clubs
to avail themselves of it, Chicago Inter
Ocean.

When the Democratic Party Began.

But speaking of age the Democratic party
has the bulge on all others. | asked q
Democrat once if he knew the name of the
father of the Democratic party. "Jetfer-
son." replied the man. Poor, ignorant
that. When our pilgrim fathers landed at
Plymouth Rock the Democratic party was
there, and soon after ducked tue old women
because it said they were witches. The
Democratic party sent Columbus home in
chains after he discovered America. 1t
chained the Bible to the pillar until Martin
Luther tore it away. The Democratic party
is what caused the downfall of Rome, and
Greece, and Carthage. The Democratic
party was present ut the Spanish inquisi-
ton, at the murder of Cesar, ut the cruel
fixion of Christ. The Democratic party
was there when Cain killed his brother
Abel.
Now that gives it pretty good age, but
it is older than that. Back into the Garden
of Eden, where those two lovely BEINGS,
the image of God. lived in happiness, the
Democratic party sneaked in. il must
have walked, because we know it went out
i'm another fashion. So | say il sneaked
in and. like coward, approached that
beautiful Mother Eve, and what do you
suppose were the first word il said to her?
Down wi h sumptuary laws" That's Just
what II said, and for q ut little trick il had
TO crawl out on its belly. That must be
the reason il has always shown such ten
der solicitude for that part of its anatomy
ever since.-Dr. Herrick johnson, at Chi-
cUUO.

tons in memory of our deceased Com

submit the following:
WHEREAS, 1t hath pleased AL
mighty God to call from this transi-
tory life our beloved Companion, it
becomes us to submit with befitting
reverence to the dispensation of His
wise providence, as we believe that
His ordinations must be for the best.
In natures course we are passing
away. For several months previous
to his death our Companions health
was poor, but his last illness was brief.
The closing scenes of his earthly ca
reer were passed in the company OF
his devoted wife and many friends,
when his spirit was waited to his
home of eternal bliss.
WHEREAS, It is the desire of the
Encampment to give expression to
feelings of sorrow in this hour of be-
reavement, therefore be it
Resolved, That in the death OF
Companion James Munroe this En-
campment has lost true and earnest
member, whose steadfast adherence
to the principles of our order, and
faithful discharge of every duty, have
imbued all with sentiments of respect
and admiration. We are inspired by
his example; we mourn his loss; we
cherish his memory.
Resolved, That we unite our hearts
and sympathies with his sorrow-
stricken wife and relations in theil
deep afliction. May they find con
ISOLATION in the knowledge that deatt
is but transition from this to a bet
ter life.
Resolved, That in token of respec
we will wear the usual badge ane
drape our charter in mourning for I
period of thirty days.
| Resolved, That page of our rec
ords be ruled with black margina
lines, and that the foregoing memo
rial and resolutions, with the name
age and date of death of our Com
panion be entered thereon.
Resolved, That copy of the sam

EPH LUCAS, OF Boise valley, was in
town last week. Mr.. L. saws the
farmers OF Boise valley are solidly in
favor ofa bedrock fume. The action of
that great Farmers Aid Society, the
BOISE City B. of T., in opposing the
bedrock fume, ostensibly in behalf of
the Boise valley farmers, was not ap-
preciated by the latter. The farmers
OF that valley are now, and always
have been, favorable to the bedrock
fiume enterprise, and never asked the
Board of Trade to protest for them.
When farmers have any protesting to
do they have always been fully CON-
petent to do it themselves, and will
ling to shoulder all responsibility.
The people of Ada county, excepting
the Board of Trade, and we under
stand few of them are in favor OF
the enterprise, desire to see work
started on the bedrock flume, and
the sooner the better. 1t is an enter
prise that will benefit everybody,
both in this and Ada county, and
work injury to no one. There.are a
few people in every community op-
posed to enterprise and progress on
general principles, and while others
are driving ahead, they are always
pulling back. Their motto is retro
grade, no matter what enterprise OF
improvement is talked of, and the on.
ly argument they can make is to cry
monopoly. 1t is happy law of ma
ture that the push ahead force is near
ly always stronger than the pull back,
and especially under the stars and
stripes. The pull back elemen,
wastes it's strength as it watches the
procession of progress move on. No
nopoly of a certain kind possesses
bad features, but the monopoly in
question is not of that kind. What
is asked for-the abandoned beds oi
the creeks of the Basin-can never
be worked without a great amount o4
capital, and it requires no logic te
prove to any one of the smalles
amount of reason that it would bt
better to allow capitalists to worl
these creeks, than that they should
never be worked at all. The com
pany, of course, will make money ou
of it and so will every body else il
this vicinity. The people ought tt
welcome, with great Joy, and unani
mously, the advent of capital to pusl
enterprises that they cannot carry on
nor even start. Some men do no
want to prosper, if at the same tim'
they have an idea that some one els
will probably make little more thai
they will.

CHARLEY BRowN, of Horseshoe
Bend, came up few days ago with
band of stock he has been winter
ing. Charley says this extraordinarily
fine weather is no more appreciated
by the farmers than by placer miners.
From present appearances grain and
hay crops will not be quite up to the
average, but the fruit crop will be
good with the exception of peaches.
The weather last winter was too Sc
we're, and blighted all prospects for
even small crop of peaches. Quite
number of peach trees were killed
by the extreme cold weather. The
farmers have learned by experience
that it is money saved in the end by
being prepared with plenty of feec
for a hard winter, even if now anc
then a mild winter renders feeding
unnecessary. Their motto now il
that it is better to be prepared at al
times for any kind of a winter tha
may come, than to take chances on ;
heavy loss of stock, which has fre
quently been the case as result o
failure to raise plenty of feed.

GENTLY BEAR HIN TO REST.


Lines on the death Of James Munroe.l
Gently, softly we will bear him
To his silent, peaceful rest,
Where no sorrow, pain or anguish
Fer again shall fill his breast.
Cold, oh cold, may be his pillow
Where the willow branches wave,
Yet no storm or raging billow
Ever shall disturb his grave.
All around to him is brightness,
Heavenly rays upon him beam.
Naught doth greet him now but gladness
Decked with beauty all doth seem.
Kindest thoughts of him shall liDger.
They will keep each memory green
Though the cold damp earth may part
thee,
Though the grass may grown between
He was kind and tender hearted.
Mildness beamed within his eyes.
Tears were shed, when life departed
For the blue and starry skies;
But he shall not be forgotten,
Though his soul away hath flown,
Though he now SO soundly slumbers
In the cold, cold grave alone.

In England labor receives from 80
to 33 per cent. of the value of the
manufacturers produce, while in the
United States it receives only is per
cent. 1t is further fact that the
high tariff has had the effect to re-
duce the share that labor receives of
the annual products of labor and cap
ital combined. This is proved by the
fact that while in 1850, under COM
parative free trade, the American op-
eratives took 1873 per cent. of the
products in wages, in 1880 he receiv-
ed only 17.s per cent, the proportion
taken by capital being increased by
SO much.-[ Baker City Democrat.
Very true, brothers, but there is
something else about this which you
have forgotten. 1t is true that the
laborer in England gets SO per cent
of the value of manufacturers pro-
duce, while the American gets Is
per cent; it is also true that the
American laborer in the same factory
gets twice as high wages, and the la.
borer don't care farthing what per.
centage his wages are to the whole
value of the product, if he gets twice
as much as his neighbor. He nightly
estimates that IS per cent. of $500,
100000 is more than 30 per cent. o
$250,oO0,OOo.
You say that in 1850, under com
paratige free trade, the American op
erative took 2S.3 per cent. of the pro
ducts in wages, while in 1886 he re
ceived only l7.e per cent. You for
get that in 1850 the total product wa
valued at something like two or tbre'
millions, while in 1886 the same ha'
increased to several hundred millions
which is better, 80 per cent. of So,
100000 or Is per cent. of 100000
