The Dalles times-mountaineer. [volume] (The Dalles, Or.) 1882-1904, 1892-09-24
EDITORIAL NOTES.

! EDIIORIAL MULES.
The cholera scare has nearly sub
sided, and Democratic papers can fill
their columns with euiogies of British
free-trade.
Mrs. Harrison is improving, and
this estimable lady will preside over
social affairs in the White House for
another four years.
The Populists is the collective name
for members of the Peoples party.
This name will sound we'll until after
| the November election.
Tammany is playing DIR. Jekyll
with Mr.. Cleveland now. 1t will be
time enough for Mr.. Hyde to show
himself on election day.
Without manufacturing industries
The Dalles cannot expect to increase
in wealth and population. These
should be inaugurated at once.
The Democratic papers are still
fighting the American tin-plate fac
tories; but they keep on increasing
their capacity, and supplying the home
demand.
President Harrison not only be-
lieves in protecting American indus
tries against foreign pauper labor, but
in protecting American homes against
imported cholera.
The Populists are complaining of
elections in the south. 1t is time the
Democrats were attempting to gag
them by saying that they are in favor
of the Force bill.
General Weaver com plains in his
letter of acceptance of unfair elections
in the south. The Democrats should
attempt to muzzle him by saying he is
in favor of the Force bill.
The Pulitzer-Tammany fund "to
enlighten the ignorant west," has
shown little increase since the Cor
bett-Sulliyan fight in New Orleans.
Democrats staked all their small
change on Sullivan and lost.
Aside from keeping the Irish under
imperial sway, Great Britain has the
difficult task of inaugurating free
in the United States In the latter
matter she has the aid of Cleveland
and the Democratic party.
The Democrats are very desirous
that the Republicans should leave the
tariff issue out of the campaign! But
the people are interested in protection,
and Mr. Peck, a Democrat of New
York, has gwen them figures showing
its benefits.
The forest timber of Oregon is be-
coming more valuable every year, and
millions of feet are destroyed every
summer by fire. This ruthless de-
struction should be stopped, and strin-
gent laws passed for the preservation
of our forests.
A Willamette valley exchange heads
its local column with the line in capi-
tails, "Wheat, 60 centsa bushel." The
Dalles dealers have been paying that
price since the first grain was har-
vested, and there is no open river to
the sea from this point.
1t is surmised by Democrats that
Hon. James G. Blame did not vote at
the Maine election, and therefore has
forgotten his former political predilec-
tions Do not be alarmed, gentlemenl
When Mr.. Blaine changes to free
trader water will flow up hill.
The Democratic legislatures which
gerrymanders in Michigan,
and New York were ap-
parently believers In the celebrated
sentiment expressed by the Hon. Tim
othy J. Campbell, of New York: "The
constitution don't cut no hgure.
There was nothing in the dispatches
in reference to ex-President Cleve-
and's visit to Washington City to par
-iclpate in the reunion of the old vet
srans He was at Buzzard's bay; but
perhaps he furnished substitute, as
ne did during the slate unpleasant
ness"
The calamity-howlers, who are op-.l
posed to national banks, should re-
,elve their pay for work done during
he campaign in some of the old de-
unct wildcat scrip, SO plentiful be-
ore the war. They should not object
It taking the dose of medicine they
ecommend for the ills of others.
