Taking Great Risks.

MARsHFIELD, Or, Sept. 21.-Captain
O'Brien and his watcbman are still on
board the wrecked steamer Charles W
Wetmore, unable to come ashore. Last
night the swell was running very heavy,
and Captain Loeb, of the life saving sta
ton, was out to the wreck and tried to
induce Captain O'Brlen and his COM
panion to come off with him, but O'Brien
refused to leave the wreck, and this
morning the swell had so increased that
it was impossible for the lte-saving crew
to get near the Ill fated steamer. Cap
tain Loch returned to Empire City and
got permission to go out with the crew
and gun and life line, but they we're un-
able to go nearer than half mile of the
wreck. The gun was heavily loaded and
fired in the hope of reaching the wreck
with the line, but 1t fell short about 75
yards, and at the same time broke the
trunnions OF the gun and threw it over.
board. Captain Loeb Immediately dis
patched team to Bandon station for
their gun, which will probably reach
here some time during the night. The
llfe-saving crew are watching the wreck
and awaiting for any opportunity to be
of any service. The surf is still running
very high.

HE rs 4 DEMOCRAT.

Hon. David B. Hill is a Democrat
of the "Simon.pure" kind, and these
sentences from his speech delivered ct
the Academy of Music In Brooklyn
are very frank Acknowledgements, to
say the least:
1t Is undoubtedly true that in this atate
the, aggregate amount of all wages paid the
year after the passage of the Mckinley bill
may have been greater than the year pre-.
ceding, but that does not prove that there
was anv increase in the rate of wages paid,
and only shows some new industries estab-
lished or additional men employed in others;
and it does not appear that such increase is
more than the usual natural increase occa-
stoned by the steady growth of the state.
It may possibly also be true that there have
been less strikes during the past two years,
but this may be attributed to the modera.
tion and good judgment of our labor or.
ganizations, rather than to the effect of any
tariff law.
As a matter of course Mr.. Hill,
upon whose words the party stands as
being the true gospel of Democracy,
must frame an excuse for the excel
lent showing of the dostrine of protec-
ton, and In the first instance he sup
poses that the natural increase of the
was the cause of the in
creased amount of wages paid and the
new industries established. But this
is mere theory on his part, and in no
wise controverts the fact established
by the report of Mr.. Peck, as good
Democrat as Senator Hill. The ex-
cuse for less strikes under the McKin-
ley bill, that the labor organizations
exercised more moderation and better
judgment than before this tariff meas
ure went into operation, is too theo-
retical to require any answer, except
that it IS reasonable to infer that the
NICK inley bill was the educator that
labor organizations to the
higher plane. When the hero of Tam
many acknowledges the premises upon
which the Republican party stands, it
may consider itself on a very solid
basis

Senator Hill is the idol of Tam
many, and he is emphatically Dem
ocrat. 1t therefore follows as logical
conclusion that Tammany Is fair rep
resentation of Simon-pure Democracy,
and with all the populations of which
this ring has been guilty the country
should be familiar. There has never
been plan too despicable to which
Tammany would refuse its aid i it had
for its aim the success of the party,
and it has brought to life all that is
impure to-day In politics. 1t has
countenanced bribery, ballot-stufing
and gerry Wandering, and its idol-its
ideal of political perfection-is David
B. Hill. The reader who is convers-
ant with the frauds and schemes of
this political leper, dating back almost
to the inception of American institu-
tions, can draw his own conclusions.

A Democratic exchange says that
the low tariff of 1S49 gave prosperity
to the country; but this is visionary
idea used for campaign purposes only.
The discovery of gold in California In
that year gave the greatest stimulus
to all departments of trade, and this
was in no way effected by high or low
tariff; and the famine in Ireland in
l848, and revolution in Germany, in
creased the demand for our bread
stuffs. In speaking on this subject,
MIR. Blaine, at Pennington, Maine, on
July 4, 1860, said: "The policy of
free-trade, as embodied in the tariff of
lS46, had, in ten years, caused such a
large Importation of foreign goods
that. besides all our shipments of prod
uce and all the earnings of our COM
merclal marine, it drained US of four
hundred millions of gold to make good
the balance of trade against US. 1
mean four hundred millions of gold,
met, over and above the amount which
in the currents of trade was occasion
alIy shipped to us from Europe"

able of his time, and laid them aside. Mex
day he was compelled to seek his bed, and
for the next week he struggled between life
and death. During two days of his illness
all hopes of his recovery had been abandoned
but through care and attention he finally
pulled through. The attending physician
pronounced it case of Asiatic cholera.
Clergymen who know of the case believe
that the tracts were sent to the minister by
some in6del in Hamburg. Only the most in
innate friends of the clergymen yet know of
his narrow escape.

The discussion of the beginning of

The discussion of the beginning of
the cholera scourge in Hamburg has
become international, and CORES
pondent of the London Times claims
that it originated from germs of the
disease remaining from the time the
scourge last visited that city; but the
highest German medical authority
states that it was brought by Russian
immigrants, whose clothing was not
properly fumigated, and that the au-
thoritles did not take sufficiently rigid
measures to destroy the bacillus. This
may be important in a scientific view;
but the people of both continents are
uow interested in stopping the spread
of the contagion, and if science will
devote its energies to this phase of the
question its discussions will be of the
greatest interest.

[ TRANSPARENT TRICK.

"Though Frick was supposed to
have been shot full of bullets and
carved almost into strips, few days
thereafter he appeared without a

parent trick to prejudice the country

On this question the inference is to be
drawn that Mr.. Frick hired Bergman
to shoot him in several places and
then stab him twice to "prejudice the
country against the strikers" This
testimony will no doubt be laid before
the jury on the trial of the anarchist,
and then what rich developments
will be made! Then, to consider what

editor of the Revieao, with all his Dem

Ready with a Hose-Carr.

MONTREAL, Sept. 20.-If the munlci-
palitles around Montreal get the cholera,
1t will not be because they have neglected
to take all precautions, Because the
German steamship Wdndraha is quaran-
tined in the harbor, the mayor of Lon
gueuil has ordered out the police and fire
brigade and has lined the banks of the
river. No persons speaking German will
be allowed to land. and on the wharf is
the steam engine, ready with shower
bath for any unfortunate German vino
may attempt to get ashore.

The best medical authorities il this
country and Europe, after careful dag
noses of cholera cases, have arrived at
definite plans for its prevention, and
these are to keep the person clean, be
particular of what goes into the stom-
ach-either food or liquid-cleanse the
hands after toucping the least infected
article of clothing or bedding, and pat
ronize home manufactures regarding
rugs or carpets. These are very SIM
pie rules to follow, and as our people
are naturally cleanly and our cities
under strict sanitary regulations, little
fear need be entertained that the
dreadful Aslatic plague will reap any
harvest in this country.

A sTTNGLNG REBUKE.

There are few more eminent men in
the Democratic party than the vener-
able George Ticknor Curtis, now a
man of 80 winters. In his day he was
a great lawyer, and his contributions
to literature have been very consider
able, all of them showing his legal
training and political conservatism.
He has never before uttered word in
favor of the Republican party, the IN
ter Ocean asserts. But the extreme
free-tradeism of the Chicago conveu-
ton, and its utter disregard Of both
law and facts, have aroused his indIg-
nation. Among the more rotable of
his books is the "HIstory of the Orig
inal Formation, and Adoption of the
Constitution of the United States;;"
and when lot of politicians get to-
gether and declare tariff for protec-
tion unconstitutional, that is too much
for good nature. Here is the main
passage of his article in the american
Economist, which exposes and de-
nounces the Democratic platform;
In common with many other Democrats.
I cannot follow the leaders of the party In
denounclng Republican protection as frsud
upon the labor of the great majority OF the
American people for the benefit OF the few;
nor can subscribe to the doctrine that a
protection tariff is unconstitutional. have
no pecuniary interest in manufactures, but
/ know what protection has done and is
doing for this country. If 1t operates for
the benefit of the few, am not one OF that
few. L am one of the many-one of the
great majority benefited by it, including
those who denounce it tor the sake OF OBJ
tanning political power. If the leaders OF
political party assembled in national con-
vention for the purpose of nominating
candidate for the presidency and vice-presi-
dency choose to stultity themselves by falsi-
flying history, they cannot expect to be fol-
lowed by others who have any habit of in,
dependent thought and action.
These words fairly express the con-
victions of the intelligence of the coun-
try. No really well-informed man
can be ignorant of the fact that the
benefits of the tariff extend to the |
general public, instead of being con-
fined to those Immediately concerned
In the industries fostered by protec-
tion. Nor does any man of common
sense really believe protection to be |
unconstitutional. There is herein no
room for two opinions. The constitu-
tion has been interpreted over and
over again on this point, and the states
men of the country, irrespective of
party, are on record in fiat contradic-
tion of such q preposterous PROPOSE
tion. The most extreme opponents of
the policy hardly ever thought Of tax
ing position so estreme and unreas-
enable. The longer the campaign goes
on the more George Ticknor Curtises
will there be.

WILLFUL PERVERSION.

The Democratic papers are wild
with exultation because Judge Gresh-
AMIN open court where case was
being tried before him requiring cer-
tain railroad agents to answer ques-
tions concerning frei ght discrimina-
ton given certain shippers, and the
officers of the Illinois Steel Company
to produce their books and accounts
touching the same, at the time Judge
Trumbull cited the governmental pow
ers for the collection of revenue
said: "The power of a government to
collect revenue to defray its expenses
is sovereign and absolute. 1t can take
any part of mans property without
process, but it ought to take no more
than enough to defray the expenses OF
the government This is taken as
pure Democratic doctrine, and Is in
terpreted that the Judge Is in favor of
free-trade. There is no meaning that
the language can possibly convey will
warrant such a conclusion, and it
shows the inherent weakness of the
Democracy on the tariff question when
its advocates are driven to such per-
version to uphold their position. In
the first place, if the broadest view of
the question is taken. Judge Gresham
can be quoted as upholding the consti-
tutionality of the government taking
any portion of mans property with
out process, and the Chicago platform
declares it unconstitutional to TAX for
eign imports. But the Judge never
intended to infer anything in relation
to the economic policy of the United
States, because that has reference to
taking or taxing the property of for
eigners. There is a duty on Austria
liam and South American wool; but
this is not the property of any citizen
of the United States until it leaves the
custom house, and the same is true of
all imported articles, with the excep-
tional case of where the individual
buys abroad The direct object of the
system of internal revenue is to psy
the expenses of government, and of
duties to protect American industries
and American wage-earners.
If Judge Gresham had intended any
remark of his while sitting on the
bench to have political significance he
would be unworthy of the position he
occupies, and he would merit the
condemnation of all falr-minded citi-
zehs, irrespective of party affiliations.
We believe him to be a conscientious |
man, and if the opportunity presented
itself would emphatlcally disclasm such |
being given to his words
as has been done by the Democratic |
press of the country. But the Bour-
bons are met in this campaign by the |
figures of Peck and Peelle, by the
of George Ticknor Cur
tbs and the apathy of Sickles-and
these men are lifelong Democrats
and to offset this they must attempt to
drag into the political mire an honest !
Judge, by warping to suit their notions

will endorse-while trying case in
