The state rights democrat. [volume] (Albany, Linn County, Oregon) 1865-1900, 1888-07-06

In its issue oflast Wednesday the Herald
said that Mr.. Mills In his speech before
Congress In defense Of his bill closed with
these words
"Then every industry will spring sor-
ward at bound,and wealth, h,prosperitya and
power will bless the land that Is dedicated
to free men, free labor and free trade"
II made this statement to prove that the
DEMOCRAT Is in favor of free trade. Now,
we have examined the speech of Mr.. Mills
andswe find that he used no such language.
What could have been the motive of the
Herald editor when he attributed such Ian
guage to Mr.. Mills when he must have
known that there was no truth in the state
ment Did the Herald editor ever read
Mr.. Mills speech, and did he have It before
him when he attributed this language to
him This kind Of Misrepresentation Is q
species of moral forgery just as culpable in
politics as signing another's name without
authority would be in law. But 1t Is the
only way that that paper has of proving
that the DEMocRAT is in favor of free trade
But what must honest, truthful men think
of paper that will resort to such methodist

action Is very effective. Ills lectures were

here the people OF Albany deserve lecture
for displaying so little taste for really

the average thealer offers no comparison. A

turcr, like Col. Copeland, who makes the
ribs rattle also, has to speak 10 a house,
characterized more by quality than by
quantity. II Is the same taste that makes
trashy literature preferable TO solid matter.
and 4 not peculiar TO Albany but u a
