The STATE RIours DEMOCRAT reply.
ing to the PiaiNdegier's statement that the
people were more prosperous under the
protective tariffs OF lS24, 1898, rS42, 1861
and subsequently, asks Why then did
the republican party In their National
Convention faver reduction We answer.
the republican party never favored the
democratic idea Of reduction. The repub-
llcan party by Its wise and statesman like
management of customs imports has made
the government the most prosperous of
any period In cur history. The republl.
can party favors protection of all classes
of worknen by shutting the door of cora
petition of foreign pauper labor And the
result OF republican rule ls gratifying
Roseburg Plaindealey.
Our cOtemporary dodges the question
entirely We did not ask why the repub-
licans In their National Convention In
1885, favored the "siemocrafic idea Of yefHe-
fisR." We plainly asked why they favored
rsdHetioH. Why did they pledge their par
~ to reduce the surplus by revising the
tariff, and now turn about and oppose re
duction We ask the PlaiRdeaier to explain
the sudden change. We think we hear
the Pliadtaisr say that HE party Is In fav-
or of reduction of the surplus by revising
the tariff, but that the revision must be a
republican revision. Very well. We ad-
NIT that that position Is tenable. But then
we will ask that paper to tell how It would
have the revision made In order to reduce
the surplus Would II make general re-
duction of tariff rates on all dutiable arti
cles Or, would It place some articles on
the free list II so, what articles : Would
It make the duties higher than now, thus
prohibiting imports, and by this means re.
dace the surpluss Or,would It repeal tho
internal revenue laws and thus reduce the
surplus to point that would fairly meet
fthe demands of the government or
would II reduce the surplus by spending Il
In various extravagant, wasteful methods
and allow war tax rates TO remain as now
One thing is sure. That party Is pledged
By platform of its own voluntary making
to reduce the surplus by revising the tariff
II is incumbent on that party to tell Eov
the revision should be made. The trutf
Is that that party, with few exceptions
comparatively speaking, Is now opposes
to revision Of the tariff to reduce the sur
plus in the treasury. They would reduce
the surplus in the treasury by extravagan
Expenditures and not by reducing taxation
This is the attitude in which the repabll
can party Is placed By its leaders,and ther
is no dodging the awkward, embarrassing
dilemma

OyegosiaE says, "the letter by no means

The Kennebec Journal published at

that in case the convention should unani-
mOusIy nominate him, he will accept. His
right hand, Manley, says the same. Sem
ator Quay, Of Pennsylvania, thinks Blaine

The Sentry makes strong appeal te
both democrats and republicans to ''tell
the truth" This is very COED. There Il
an cid adage that says /: "The worst man
often gives the best advice" but we do not
apply this to eur nelghbor oaly to that ex.
tent necessary to establish the truth that
It is much easier to give advice than to
follow it. The Sentry, in speaking Of
President Cleveland, says:
"None but fools ever supposed he would
retain the republicans he found In Office
any longer than till he could find demo.
Gratis competent to fill their places, for
when the democrats won the presidency
in 1884 they got It with the right to the
other Offices Of honor and emolument.
And 1t does not lie IN the mouth Of any
republican to complain because they have
taken what belongs to them"
Here is the assertion that Cleveland has
turned out every republican Office holder
just as soon as competent democrat
could be found to take 1t. Is this telling
the truth Let us see. The republican
registers and receivers in United States
Land offices In this state and all republican
of presidential grade, were al
lowed to serve their terms out without
One of the most remarkable
and amazing monuments of President
Cleveland's mercy and leniency is to be
found in the postmaster in the .SeAfty's
own town, Salem. O'DeIl, the present
postmaster, is republican Of the most dis
astefuI sort, and yet the president has not
.emoved him, notwithstanding half dozen
democrats far more competent and more
ionest have stood ready to take the place
President CIeOelaad has not yegsoved asgIe

cost Is the one dollar subscription TO the

dollar for the paper and order a deed for
the lot, when you receive notice that you
win have TO send $5.as for making out the
deed. You are told that the common
price for makiRg deeds Is $s,but they have
generously put the price down to $3as A
gentleman Ia this city, who became Inter
ested In this scheme, thought II best before
sending the $3ss for the deed to learn
something about San Margarita. He has
shown US letter from the postmaster Al
Bakersfield, Kern county, In which he
says "San Margarita Is ak miles from

Some days ago the OyegOHiaH's associat-

was coming to Oregon in the employ OF
Cleveland's administration to help carry
this state for the democrats next June.
Upon the face of the statement, It was
false. We believe every republican paper
in the state has published this canard, and
now there are thousands of republicans in
this state who lay "wake o. nights" con-
juring up the dire calamity that is to befaIl
their party through the nachinations of
the indefadgabIe Dennis. No amount of
proof will convince these deIuded people

cient reasons for knowing that the story
was untrue when It published it.
