M'KINLEY'S OLD SOPHISM.

Governor McKinlev did small credit
to his reputation for either ability or can
dor by repeating in his Rhode Island
speeches this threadbare fallacy from his
last Ohio campaign:
The Republican party believes that
we should never tax our own people SO
long as we can have other people to TAX"
This disingenuous claim that "the for
eigne' pays the tariff is unworthy the
leader Of a great party. 1t is refuied by
the everyday history Of the custom
house. 1t is contradicted by the invoices
of our importers. 1t is disproved by the
prices paid for imported goods by our
consumers. And it is exploded, to the
comprehension Of even the dullest mind,
by these questions, which We're put to MIR.
Mckinley last year by the New York
World, and which he dared not answer
then and has not answered yet:
"If the foreigner paws the tariff, why
did you not repeal all our internal reve-
nue. taxes and put the whole expense OF
the government upon "othcr people,"
If the foreigner pays the tariff, why
did the Fiftieth Congress stop after spend
ing billion dollars? Why did tnot APP
propriate two billions and fructify this
favored land with more foreign gold"
The weakness Of the protection system
is shown most conclusively in the contra
ctorv. absurd and di,honest claims put
forth in its defense.

THE BOND QUESTION.

$50 far shalt thou go. and no farther"
Aberdeen has gone $50 far" and must
come to halt. she has not dollar in
her treasury which can Iightfnlly be ex-
pended fos the current expenses Of the
city government. And yet there are
some among her citizens who st-enuously
oppose the proposition to bond the city
and relieve her frpm her oppressive bur
den. At every meeting Of the council
bills for hundreds Of dollars are pou ed
in. and petition after petition read asking
for the expenditure OF large sums OF
money for street grading which hall the
signers have not the money 10 pay for.
Stop! OF where, with the sad experience
before us in collecting taxes. will We
land?
In view OF the actual situation of muni
cipal affairs there ha- not been one valid
reason advanced whv the city should not
adjust its liabilities in business manner
by issuing bonds to call in it's floating
debt. Threatened with suits to compel
the payment of its warrants, the city Is
liable soon to be plunged in endless liti-
CATION with the inevitable result Of hav-
ing special tax levy ordered by the court
to take up the warrants The saving Of
$12JU "a year in interest is alone sufficient
argument in favor Of bonding. We are
confident the citizens do not understand
the situation or they would not be given
10 factious opposition which is ruinous
to our best interests.

A SPOKANE REPUBLICANS OPINION

A prominent Republican OF Spokane,
in personal letter to an Aberdeen friend
writes that political matters in Eastern
Washington are decidedly mixed and
that the clouds now lowering DER the
party have no visible silver lining. He
says Sam Hyde is moving heaven and
earth to knock out John l.. Wilson for
the congressional nomination, engender
ing bitter factional fight which seems
past healing. The party dare not put up
a straight Republican ticket in the com
ing municipal election in Spokane, and
will probably give one or two nomina
tons to the Peoples party as a sop to
keep them out OF the Democratic ranks,
which party, he writes, the Peoples
party leaders look to forne eded reforms.
He further writes that in case the Farm
-ers' alliance effects combination with
the Peoples party and dominates state
and county tickets, he believes their can
didates will be defeated and will carry
the Republican nominees down with
them. From what he has heard from
Aberdeen herald. [volume] (Aberdeen, Chehalis County, W.T.) 1886-1917, 1892-04-14

the agricultural districts he believes
James Hamilton Lewis would stand a
fair chance of election if nominated for
governor on the Democratic ticket, War
ner's endorsement OF Lewis being a
strong factor in his favor.
The gentleman who wrote thus was
deeply grieved at the situation, and WAS
merely giving his candid opinion OF the
outlook, With no idea. Of course. that his
views would appear in print, and if the
truth were known, the great bulk OF the
Republicans have the same uneasy feel
ing at the pit of their sirmachs.".

WHO PAYS THE TAX?

Will some of those earnest Republi-
cans who really believe the foreigner
pays the tax" tell the Herald who paid
the tax when our illustrious sires threw
the tea overheard in Boston harbor "a
century ago? Who paid the tax when
the late John A. Logan brought in his
famous "reiief bil'' after the great FIRE in
Chicago? The bill was to admit all
building material for Chicago in duty
free. Who paid tie tax on the brick i'm
ported into Seattle after the great fire OF
June 6, 1889? Who paid the tax that
caused the financial panic among New
York importers who had ordered large
quantities of foreign goods to arrive be-
lore the passage of the Mckinley bill

PICTURES.
WRITTEN FOR THE HERALD.

WRITTEN FOR THE HERALD.
There are pictures, mystic pictures,
That go alone to scan.
For my memory ever keeps them
Sacred from the gaze OF man;
II was Gods own hand that traced them,
Life and Death the colors gave,
Therefore some glow as the heavens,
Some are gloomy as the grave.
Never yet has mortal artist
Painted pictures half so fair
Ali nor mortal hand on canvas
Ever so portrayed despair.
Mid the sunny scenes wonder,
When oppressed with care or pain,
Til nv heart lays down its burdens
And its yearnings doth restrain.
But when earthly joys allure me,
When ambition tempts me, when
Only of the flesh I'm conscious,
Memory brings the dark ones then;
Til again, mid sud caressing,
Overcome with grief and awe,
Sadly means my anguished spirit
God. how stern is this, thy law"
Must L, murt ylclu my oiSoouiSc
Are earth's idols all but clay?
Dost Thou never smile upon me?
Wilt Thou smite me all the way?
Is there naught that love may feast on
But must feel the blighting breath
Pass beneath the outspread piniGns
OF Thy dark-winged angel, Death?"
''Such My law" the answer c0meth,
'.From the flesh Death winnOws clean;
We no soul from Me he beareth
Who through faith on Me doth lean"
Even so, Lord, bid me trust Thee:
Take my hand and lead me still;
Take my heart and make 1t humble
And submissive to Thy will.
Teach me by these mystic pictures
Viii Thy hand hath deigned to trace,
Til scan them mid the brightness
OF the eternal dwelling place.

THE ONLY SOLUTION.

The discussion of the bond proposition
has brought forth dozen different sug-
gestions regarding the purchase of the
Heron street bridge. 1t is stubbornly
contested by Councilman Linn that the
city can legally issue warrants at the pres
ent time for its purchase, and he pres
ented a nurnerously signed petition to the
council asking it to make the purchase at
once. In reply TO a question he said the
bridge owners would t-ke city warrants
il they were made as ''good as dollar"
Such a proposition is MT only decidedly
VAGUE under the circumstances, but al
for ninety per cent lit is questionable if
so high figure could he secured for them)
it would add 1867 to the cost of the
bridge. proposition which the people
will not be foolish enough TO entertain for
a moment. In the face of the late de-
cision of the state supreme court it is
barely reasonable to suppose the warrants
could be sold for any price. Mr.. Linn
and the easf-siders express lack OF con-
fdence in the desire Of the people on this
side Of the river for free bridge and pro-
pose that an election BIZ held to vote on
bridge bonds, and later hold another
election to vote OH funding bonds, they
pledging themselves to vote for the latter
If the former carries Distrust begets
distrust, and the people on this side Of
the river are not to be blamed if they
asked small guarantee of good faith from
their suspicious neighbors. There is such
thing as being stubborn beyond reason,
and our friends should be open TO con-
vlction, especially when it is evident the
council and the people generally desire to
aid them, hut propose to give that aid in
legal, business-like way, and not houn-
der in the mire as las been characteristic
of the past.

ABOUT this time two years ago the fiat
went forth that there was no money
available to pay the expenses OF state
militia encampment. The governor,
however, found way around the diff
Guilty, and an encampment was held at
American Lake, near Tacoma, which
was Of great service to the citizen SOL
dieiy, as was evidenced by the ease with
which the military performed it duties
at the coal mines last summer The
soldier boys are rustlers, and there is
little doubt but that means will be found
to have the encampment as proposed.
History tells us that in 1875 the
United States was very prosperous; her
commerce healthy and growing; her
ships, carrying the stars and stripes and
manned by American seamen dotted the
highways OF the world. Presto! But
what a change! In the year 1892 we find
our commerce stagnated, our shipping
interests almost entirely destroyed !;
American shippers plotting foreign built
vessels, manned by foreigners and in
many cases Cinnamon, forced to, and
floating foreign flag Thus does pro-
lection encourage home industry and in
crease the patriotism of our people. This
is one Of the results OF that powerful Re-
publican argument.
