The prison mirror. [volume] (Stillwater, Minn.) 1887-1894, 1891-10-22

This is hard on orphan asylums. In his
sermon before the National Prison congress
Rev. I. K. Beecher. speaking of the NOR
talities among the orphan children intrusted
to the gentle care of asylums, said: Il
think the orphan asylum is short way to
the grave. Why is it that infants are not
better cared for? If they were worth $50
each at years old there would not be so
many Of them to die. If they were chick
ems they would not be permitted to die
There are great chicken farms for forcing
the Matching of eggs. lncubators are used
and steam pipes and glass houses are used
to keep up the supply of chickens so that
the market is always supplied with spring
chickens" Ex-President Hayes was on
the platform and at the mention of chickens
all eyes were turned upon him-so says the
reliable reporter.

prisons, and, above all, to acquaint the outside
world with the needs of the prison by rejecting
its inner life and thus aid the Of moral ad-

A CHEERFUL sPELL.BINDER.

The most audaeious of republicans 10
"Blll" Chandler, of New Hampshire. 1t
was not he mot Zach of Mlchigan) who
sent oIt from Washington City the fam
Gus telegram that Hayes had been elected,
caaiying several southern stateS-a tele-
gram which inspired the position at once
assumed by the party and successfully
maintained by the aid of the corrupt car
pet-bag returning boards. 1t was "BnI"
who led the bold raid by which New
Hampshire's latest verdict at the ballot boz
was reversed. One result Of that crime
was .he election of DR. Gallinger as United
States Senator bv the manufactured ma
jority In the legislature. Chandler and
Gallinger arc not irieEds, and have been
telling The truth about one another Of late.
Here Is Chandler's latest rejoinder 10 his
colleague, who Is a receiver Of stolen goods
Gallinger charges me with having
bought my seat In the senate, and there's
the cloud on my title to a senatorship.
Epeybody knotys that ne stole ne IeRislafune
from tAs democrats last JGREary. and that II
we hadn't democrat would have been
elected senator,and not Gallinger. There's
the cloud OH Galllnger's title. Honors are
about even, reckon
"Honors" arc certainly easy between the
two. Chandler Is a bad man, but, at least,
there is not about him the cant of such
maniPula,ors as Claikson, Quay, Pla,t,
Dudley and Plait's man Fassett. He Is a
bold and breezy rascal.-Seattle Zslegram.

MORTGAGES AND PROSPERITY.

The Salem SldfssBaB some time ago
eoniended that mortgages were a sign of
prosperity. The Statesman has now an
object lesson near home The Salem street
car lines cost $4,000 and there Is a mort.
gage on them of $4,000, due and unpaid
Surely the company should no. be "hard
up" that is, according to the StGtesmds's
philosophy. The StafssmGA, though, is
consistent, as its ideas Of mortgages Is well
grounded in its faith In the protective
policy. Protection, the Statesman advo-
Gates, also means prosperity. The large
and bouniiful crops this year, even, are
owing 10 the prosperity brought about by
mortgages and protection. The same ar
gument would make the editor of the
SIa'esmaH half brother to foo, first cousin
to hyPocrite and second cousin to hog,
and he is none cf these East OregoniaH.

OAHviLLE, Oct. II, 1891.
Editors Democrat:
have observed that you and other dem-
ocratic editors have been railing out
against the Mckinley bill or. the ground
that II would restrict trade and stop In,
portations. notice that the Herald brings
YOU 10 task BY ga ing that the importations
since the passage Of the Mckinley bill
have been greater than before. | also
notice that you ; ave faileI 10 deny the
HeyaLfS statement. IL seems your cry
haS been smoke and cloud
REPUBLICAN,.
The statement of the Harold that i'm
portalions nave been larger since, than be.
fore the passage of the Mckinley bill Il
true, nevertheless the statement Is a very
misleading one. Not only "Republican'
but many other men have been deceived
BY II. The democrats lave never insisted
that when a dutiable article has been
placed on the free list that that would re-
strict the importation of that article buI
the reverse would generally be true. Now
there has been decrease In the importa-
tionS OF nearly all articles upon which Nc
Kinley increased the duties but an increased
importation In nearly all articles upon
which the tariff tax was reduced.
For example, for the year ending June
80, 1890, this being the year prior to The
going into effect of the new tariff bill
the importation # goods free of duty wa'
s76s, ,66S, Gag. For the year ending June
80, 1891, ,(this being after the new tariff wen'
into edect) the amount OF free goods I'm
ported was $500 ,23S,66l. This Increase
of over $Ioo, 900 900 was largely on ac-
count of putting sugar on the free list. But
how was II as to du,iable goods? The
figures tell their own story. The amount
of dutisble goods imported for the year
ending June 80, 1890, was SSz364r,78o,
while the imports for the year ending
June 80, 1891, was but $47S,66S4s6. or a
falling off In the importation of dutiatle
goods since the passage of the Mckinley
bill of $44,o73314. That this falling OF
was largely, In fact, almost entirely, due
to the increase of duties may be seen in
the fact that there Is decrease in imports
of four and a half millions in tobacco, and
fifteen and half millions IN wooden goods
alone.
Many other examples might be given
showing this same fact but II Is not nee
es'ary. just one word to "Republican."
II increasing the duty on an article, un-
accompanied BY any other modifying cir
cumstarce, does not restrict importation
Of that article, then protection Is delusion.
Investigate this matter and you will inev-
itably come to the same conclusion.

As TO CONSISTENCY.

One Of The most humorous things connected
sith newspaper work that has come belor,
Us for long time is seventeen line effort o
the 0regO~ian on the subject Of Inconsistency.
Just hear our contemporary,
"It Is rather Inconsistent for the democratic
press, which so vsliantly opposed the remov-
Al Of the tariff on sugar, in the interest Of the
democratic planters ofIhe south, to iail al
the sugar bounty and call il q tax upon the
people. The sugar tariff was an enormous tar
upon consumers for the benefit Of a few demo-
cratic producers, the iniquily ofwLieh Il wa,
impossible TO impress upon the democratic
mind; but now that the consumer gets his
sugar free Of tax and bounty, insigni6can,
in proportion, is paid cut fthe general treas
ury to home producers, . food Of light has
burst upon lis darkened interior. The sugar
bounty rests upon a vicious principle, but il
doesn't lie in the democratic mouth 10 con-
demn Il.
Now ifthere were any truth in the statement
that the democratic press ''valiantly opposed
the removal Of the tariff on sugar." nevei,he
less, paper, like the Orsgonian, that has
been all things to all mep, that has been all
the way from rank free trader to rank pro-
tec.ionist. should hide its head in shame
rather than attempt to remove a mote from
the eye Of some democratic editor when II has
so large beam in its own eye, But the DEM
oera,ie press did not valiantly oppose the
removal Of the duly from sugar. The proof
is challenged. The 0rcgoRiaA, only few
years ago, said the sugar duty was the fines,
and best that could be levied and should not
be removed. 1t gave as areason that nine
teR,hs OF the increase in the price Of sugar in
Consequence cfIhe iu,y was paid into the
treasury of the United States, aud no, in:o the
pockets OF ''Ihe democratic planters Of the
south" as it now alleges, Does II lie in the
mouth Of that paper to talk anout consistency
There is not newspaper in the country whose
record for consistency ia so vulnerable all
along the line as the OregOHiaa.

PARTISAN BIAS.

The republicans of Colorado are honest

Well, we'll. we'll. Could partisan bias be
more domlneering than In this ease' There
are scores df republicans, democrats and
third party men who favor free silver.
