RINGING WORDS.

Senator Voorhees, made a tpceeh In the
United States Senate the other day In
which he criticised the tariff bill In detail
and characterized II as financial monster.
The reduction IN sugar and molassss was
no reduction at all In the light Of the pro.
posed bounty TO planters, and the increase
In woolen goods amounted 10 $f5.ooo.ooo
a year. This was simply protection run
mad,
Voorhees, referred to the recent Stanley
wedding In London and presents Of fabu-
lous price. Among these was u gift Of
Carnegie, gift said TO he richer and rarer
and far more costly than any that could be
afforded by the Queen Of England or the
King of relgIum. The gift was an uncut
diamond OF such size and quality that
neither the richest OF the crown jewels
of England nor the moonsione Of India
could surpass II In value. iiow came this
American king of steel and iron to have
such damondi he asked. The farmers
OF the United States paid for that diamond
ten thousand times over In the last twenty
years by paying an average duty OF over
81 per cent on every article OF iron they
used, by paying the Increased rates made
necessary by the high duties on steel and
Iron rails and rolling stock.
II the pending bill became Law the
farmers would have TO pay on iron md
steel an increase OF duty from IS. "a TO st7s

Voorhees, passed on 10 the discussion OF
the proposed increase of i2o per cent on

10 $4,000 work!ngmen now Idle. II would

DEMOCRATIC POLICY.

There has never been any disposition on the
part ofthe Democratic Senators to lilibuster or
unnecessarily ,oprolone discussion upoa the
Tariff bill.
As politieo economic measure the majority
has right to pass it. The Democrats could
ask no better issue for the Fall elections, and
tor the Presidential election which will follow,
han would be created by law raising the
taxes in all save one Of the tariff schedules 10 a
point considerably above the highest average
OF the war tariff. All that the Democrats
have asked is that they shall have an orpor-
tunity to discuss fully this important measure.
according % the practice Of the Senite for a
hundred years, with n view to enlightening
the country as to i,s provisions.
The Elections Bill, as we have before said,
is different matte-. That strikes a blow at
the freedom OF elections and at the immemorial
rights Of the States and Of citizens which will
justify the Democrats in resorting to all Lawful
means to defeat it. But the contest can be
made on that bill itself, or on the gag rule in
voked in its behalf, far more itly and effective
ly thar on the Tariff bill.

just been thrown or the market and will
be sold at such prices and terms as will
enable the speculator to make good
money. This property lies just this side
of Goltra's Park; is high and slightly
overlooking the city and surrounding
country. In the language of First

Self praise is no recommendation. but
there ara times when one must permit pei
son to tell the truth about himself. When
what he says is supported by the testimony
of others no reasonable man will doubt his
word. Now, to say that Al'cock's Porous
Plasters are the only genuine and reliable
porous plaster made is not self spraise in the
slightest degree. They have stood the test
for over thirty years, and in proof OF their
merits it is only necessary to call attention
TO the cures they have effected and the vol
untary testimonials Of those who have used
them.
Beware OF limitations, and do not be de
ceived by misrepresentation. Ask for ALI
cocks and let no solicitation or explanation
induce you taccept a substitute
Allcock's corn and bunion shields effect

Mr. Blaine is right in holding it to be good
business TO trade untaxed wheat and pork for

There Is a general gnashing Of teeth at
Eugene, Salem and few other valley
towns because Albany's population
shows up we'll. The Man About Town
has had plenty Of fun reading the crazy
remarks Of exchanges about the matter,
which we haven't half space enough TO
publish. The Eugene Guard publishes
a falsehood or two in making compari-
son, which Is invidious. The Guard
says: They are bloated with an undue
idea OF their importance, and assume the
credit for the town Of that which should
he divided with the county" The truth
ia no more should be divided with the
county than in the case Of Salem and
mSst Of the other places. The county is
entitled TO just about 1000, probably a
little less, aud that il all. The matter
OF elections, school census, etc, have
little TO do with II, as the vote might not
be full, and the school census has no re-
liable basis. An honest census was un-
doubtedly taken here, as in Eugene, and
because we have 20O0 the most popula-
tion Is no reason why we should be lied

not constructed at the place designated
in the contract. 1t was erected below

was arrested at Stayton, few days ago
charged with stealing $65 from the pock-

WAS AT ANY.-President Fleming,
OF the Oregon Information Board, in Civ
ing an account OF his trip up the valley
mentions Albany as follows:
l crossed from Corvallis to Albany,
where my stay was brief, but long enough
to see that it was live town with bril-
liant future before it. Its citizens are
wide awake, ambitious, energetic, and
fully determined to go to work to build
up their city and develope their tribu-
tary country, which is second to none in
all the elements which go to make up q
prosperous and wealthy community.
WIDE FAcEs.-It is always sort of quiet
during the summer months. How can
it be any thing else; but soon there will
be hum and buzz in Albany that will
surprise people. we are so informed
privately and believe it. Something il
going to strike ere long that will make
everybody's face mile or less wide. One
cannot expect to have everything come
in steady stream, that isn't reasonable
though Albany, to be sure, comes pretty
close to it. In a short time there will bt
some live facts to chronicle.
