Fremont, Scptembsr7th, loss.
TO the Editor OF the ENPosIToH.
An article apreared in the Croswell
Democrat of the 9TH inst purporting to
give an account Of the Republican pole
raising at ROseburg on the 9TH inst
TO say that the article was tissue OF
falsehoods from beginning to end would
be drawing it mild In the township
of Fremont the author or instigator Of
said article is well known, in fact, so
well known that no credence would be
given to anything he might say about
a Republican meeting Of any descrip-
ton.
Now, as to the facts, there were at
least 1875 people present and out of that
number there were only 3 Democrats
by actual count. Even the Democrats
veracious (??0 correspondent admits

nothing" one of those of whom it might
well be said that none are so blind as
they that will not see"
1t is safe to say that were it not for
the fact that at the time Of the pole
raising the majority Of farmers in this
vicinity were exceedingly busy finish
ing up harvest, blowing for fall wheat,
etc, there would have been all the way
from 500 to 1000 good and true Repub-
Leans present. 1t would be the refine
ment of cruelty to deny to Democrats

~. -. Tariff Reform.

To The Editor OF the ENPosIToR:
In a recent issue of your paper | saw
an extract from the Sand Beach Times,
in which the writer states that he is a
tariff reformer He may be, but if he is
it is the kind of reform the people have
already got enough of. He talks Of
protecting an article against foreign
competition. Now | am Il tariff re-
former also. but while he believes in
protecting the ARTICLE I believe in
protecting the CONSUMER of the article.
If John Bull will bring me n suit of
clothes and sell them to me cheaper
than my American fellow citizen
think ought 20 have the privilege Of
buying the clothes of John Bull. OF
course it is very patriotic to protect
home industries. but when we have to
rob ourselves in order to do it, it be-
comes a kind Of patriotism there is no
sense in. Talk about protecting home
industry, wonderif am not engaged
in home industry while working on a
farm for somebody, and | wonder if
the farmer is not engaged in home in
dustry, and / wonder how much l am
protected when foreign labor is allowed
to come in. free Of duty. and compete
with me for wages, and | wonder how
much the farmer is protected when he
must sell his farm produce in sn open
market, when the prices at Liverpool,
England, fixes the prices of farm pro-
duce at Brockway Centre, as nearly
every one knows by this time. The
tariff is tax, not on exports but i'm
ports, and as the farmer does not i'm
port but export produce, where does
the benefit to the farmer come in?
Why, in patriotism | suppose. But
there are two kinds of patriotism and
two kinds of protection. One kind of
patriotism is TO shoulder q musket
when foreigner invades our soil--not
with cheap goods, but with IN army of
soldiers-and fight for the protection Of
home aud loved ones; and the other
kind Of patriotism is to vote for per-
petuation of system of legalized rob-
berry continually draining the tOilers of
their money and giving it to those who
have already more than they need.
One kind Of protection protects every
body by giving them chance to buy
in the same market they are compelled
to sell in, and the other kind of protec-
ton protects by compelling the poor
to protect the rich and lets the poor
take care of themselves. a protective
tariff is simply a tax levied upon art
icles of necessity to everyone, and is
merely added to the cost, thus becoming
an indirect tax and being an indirect tax
only few know just how much It is;
but direct tax which is collected at set
times upon property every taxpayer
knows the exact amount Of. There il
sometimes a good deal of kicking about
q direct tax. but IL this indirect tax was

PARNELL AND THE DECREE.
An Important Announcement TO be
Made Next Tuesday.


Made Next Tuesday.
DUBLIN, May 4.-The Freeman's Jour
nal says that Mr.. Parnell will make an i'm
portant announcement at the Eighty Club
dinner on May g. Mr.. Parnell believes, it
says, that the agrarian movement in
Ireland may be conducted with sufficient
effect without collision with the religious
feeling of Irishmen. He desires that the
Irish people shall give due weight to the
wishes of the Vatican in matters of faith
and morals, while, at the same time, insist
ing on their claim that politically Irish
opinion and Judgment must be supreme.
Mr.. ParnelPs health, the paper says, is i'm
proved, though it is still necessary for him
to be very careful He hopes to be fully
restored IN few months.
o'BRIEN AGAIN IN COURT.
William OBrien, who was sentenced at
Loughrea yesterday to three months lm-
prisonment forinoItiug the people of a pro
claimed district to join the national league,
was taken to court again to-day to be tried
on a charge of melting the people to hold a
league meeting. The Crown Counsel, how
ever, announced that this charge would be
withdrawn.
MIR. Dillon in a speech at KiImurry,
county Limerick, to-day advised the people

Though the people, he said, were bound to

church discipline, they would not have
politics dictated to them by its allies.
CARDINAL MORAN DEFIANT.
The Erening Telegraph publishes dis
patch from Sydney saying; I'm an inter
view Cardinal Moran advised that if the

rule must continue until victory was at
tanned in spite Of all opposition"
NOTICE OF PROTEST.
LONDON, May 4.-The people of a num-
ber of parishes in Ireland have warned the
priests that if the Pope's rescript against

JACKSONVILLE, FLA, May 4.-The grand
jury returned two indictments to-day, one
against Louis Cherry for assaulting child
named Blanche Maulden last December,
and the other against John Franklin for
killing Leon Bryant.
The proceedings to-day of the diocesan
council were mainly discussions on several
resolutions offered. The night sessions will
be set apart for five minute discussions on
church work IN different parts of the State.
The board of directors of the Farmers

tors last night, Judge j. j. Willie, of JEFF
ferSon county, and Messrs. E. |. Page, Of
Polk, j. o. Clarke, ,sof Marion, and q. S. Har-
dee, OF Brevard, were appointed State COM
missioners and agents for the exposition,
to canvass the State for stock subscriptions
and county exhibits for next season. The
directors decided not to elect a director
general yet. The buildings and grounds
will be oren this summer, and various
amusements and attractions will be offered
President Burbridge will have general
charge of affairs this summer.
NOT PUBLIC HOSPITAL.
City Health Officer Kenworthy SAYS that
il is not expected that the city Of Jackson
vile nor the county Of Duval will take care
of all the sick and afflicted in the State, and
he gives notice to that effect. Scores of un-
fortunates come here and find no asylum or
assistance, and they are then probably in a
worse plight than if they had remained at
home. The hospitals here cannotswell take
care OF more than the home unfortunate
and sick.
MURDOCH GIVES BAIL.
Roderick Murdoch, Armour & Co. IS for
mer bookkeeper, who was accused of en-
bezzing $500 from them in March, and

METHODISM AND THE WOMEN.
Their Eligibility as Delegates Still
Under Discussion.


NEW YORK, May 4.-The Methodist Con-
ference spent large part of to-day in dis
cussing the report of the committee on
the eligibility of women as delegates to the
conference. There was large audience
present. An effort was made to pass a reso-
luton closing the debate at IL o'clock, but
1t failed. Among the speakers were Rev.
DIR. Leonard, of Cincinnati, in favor
of admitting women; Rev. John
Miley, President of Drew Theological
Seminary, aud Rev. j. r. Day, of the New
York conference, against their admission,
and several laymen. The opinions We're
very much divided, and good deal of feel
ing was manifested at times. Two clergy
men in the course of the debate interrupted
other speakers who had referred to these
clergymen's previous utterances, and as
serted that they were being misrepre-
sented.
AN AMENDMENT OFFERED.
Rev. F. B. Neely, of Philadelphia, said
he was in favor of submitting the question
to the annual conferences. He offered the
following amendment to the report of the
committee:
But since there is great interest in this ques-
tion and since the church generally should be
consulted in regard to such an important mat
ter, therefore
Resolved, That we submit to the annual con
ference proposition to amend said restrictive
rule by amending the words land said delegates
may be men or women" after the words two
lay delegates for the annual conference" so
that it will read: Nor of more than two lay
delegates for annual conference, and said
delegates may be men or women"
IT is SECONDED.
The amendment was seconded by DR..
Paxson, and will be voted on at the close Of
the debate.
Gov. P c. Lounsbury, of Connecticut,
moved that the vote be taken on the amend
ment on Monday at II O'Clock. The mo-
tion was ruled out of order.
DR. Buckley, who had seconded it, got
the floor. There were objections on the
ground that he had already spoken to the
question. He said he had not spoken to the
amendment and was permitted by the chair
to proceed.
Then numberless points of order were
raised with the object of shutting DR..
Buckley off. The effort was successful, as
before he could get an opportunity to speak

rived

A RULE OR RUIN POLICY.
SOME OF THE STANDARD OIL
COMPANY'S METHODS.

Merchants Threatened With Ruin II
OH Producers - Sample Sentences
From Some of the Intimidating
Letters Sent to Dealers.
WASHINGTON, May 4-George Rice, of
Marietta, o., was recalled at the beginning
of the investigation by the House Commit
tee on Manufactures to-day. The witness
produced statements showing the differ
ence in tariff rates on coal oil and cotton
seed oil ON the Missouri Pacific and Queen
and Crescent railroads going south and
cotton seed north. The Louisville and
Nashville Railroad officials had absolutely
refused to give the witness rates south from
Nashville, and he was obliged to ship it in a
round about way and pay heavier tariff
than that charged TO other dealers For the
past five or six years he has received letters
from persons buying oil of him in which
they complained that they had been threat
ened by the Standard Oil Company for
purchasing oil from him. He had a large
number of these letters and would produce
them before the committee.
WANTS THE ACT AMENDED.
The witness did not think the interstate
commerce act was radical enough. There
were two important amendments needed,
viz: That the fines and penalties provided
by the act should apply to the shipper as
well as to the carrier, and that these fines
and penalties should 60 the informer in
stead of the government. A number of
letters from various persons, on which
Mr.. Rice had based his statement that
the Standard company had attempted to
ntimidate dealers who did not buy oil from
it, were next put in evidence. Their gem
eral tenor was that the Standard company
had either reduced or threatened to reduce
temporarily the prices of oil below the cost
of production whenever merchants bought
oil from Mr.. Rice.
SPECIMEN SENTENCES.
Following are the most striking sentences
in the letters read "Chess, Carley 81 Co.
are threatening to ruin us in business if we
don't stop selling oil" 1--WE have been
threatened with annihilation, but so far the
coal oil war has not begun" land they
would come here and ruin them in business,
by fair means if they can, by underhand
means if necessary
This closed the investigation for the time
being at least, and the committee adjourned
subject to the call of the chairman. 1t
cannot be as stated, as yet whether the in
quiry will be resumed or not. The com
mittee has made quite an extensive examina-
tion into the sugar and Standard oil trusts,
and some of the members think il has
secured sufficient information on which to
base its report to the House. After the
stenographic report up to date has been
received, the committee will determine
what further steps to take.

The Committee Informally Discusses
the Order of Business.
WASHINGTON, May Although Mr.
Randal's absence prevented,a regular meet
ing of the House Committee on Rules to-
day, there was an informal discussion
among the members who were in attend
ance upon the advisability of taking some
action upon the numerous pending PROPOSE
tions for the assignment of days in the
House for the consideration of bills reported
by the various committees There was a
general feeling that it would not be expe-
dent to undertake to make any Of these as
signments until it could be definitely learned
when the tariff bill will be out
of the way. The disposition seemed to be
again to give the Committees on Terrific
ries, Pacific Railroads and Commerce an
opportunity to dispose of their business.
There was also some discussion IN favora-
bic ne of Mr.. Springer's resolution to ap-
point committee to act in conjunction
with one to be appointed by the Senate to
sit during the recess aud endeavor to devise
some means to relieve Congress of the ac-
cumulating private legislation.
