The Democrats appear to labor hard
to prove that articles of general use
are higher than before the tariff was
inaugurated. This has been proved
false in many instances; but they ad
here to the old woman's logic, "It's so
because it's SO" and appear satisfied
with the conclusion. If this PROPOSE
tion were admitted for the sake of ar
gument, it still remains fact that in
no country in the world are wages for
skilled and unskilled labor so high,
and the relative cost of living in pro-
portion to the salaries earned, so much
in favor of the poor man as IN the
United States.

Congress has adjourned, and its ae,

Congress has adjourned, and its acts
are part of the history of the coun--
try. The Democratic lower house
promised great reforms at the begin
ming of the session, and that it has not
fulfilled these promises is well known
to every man in the country. If the
plan of the British constitution had
been followed it would have dissolved
long ago, and an appeal been made to
the country. As it is, the next con.
gressional election in the United
States viii undoubtedly change the
complexion of this branch of the ma
tional legislature, for the people have
become very tired of the duplicity and
chicanery exhibited 1t was ex pected
that this being a presidential year
something very benefclal to the inter
ests of the country would be evolved
by these Democrats in council; but
defeating free silver bill and flibust-
ering on the appropriation for the
Worlds Fair have been their principal
acts. The historian of the future, in
writing of the first session of the fifty
second congress, can sum up the record
in a few words. and simply say-"Ob
struction to Republican progress.

Idaho's Long-Lost Mine.
La Grande Gazette.


A remarkable story, the truth Of which is
fully vouched for. comes here from 'Lemhi
county, Idaho. Early in the COS Bill Smith,
E. Mulkey and F. B. Sharkey were out
hunting and fishing on Williams ranch,
near Fish lake. One of the party chanced
to uncover deposit of decomposed gold
quartz of marvellous richness. At "a neigh
boring stream they panned out many ounces
of gold, and then marking the location of
the bed of quartz, they returned to Salmon
City to escape the rigors of the winter
which was almost on them. In the follow
ing spring, after having purchased an ex-
pensive outfit, the three went back to Fish
lake with the intention of working their
bonanza. To their dismay they could not
find the ledge, the storms of wlnter having
conpfetely Abliterated all former land.

Democratic papers are defending
their ranks against proselyting to the
Peoples party by quoting the language
of Gen. Weaver, in which he plainly
stated in unadulterated English his
opinion of Democracy. The words
were more forcible than elegant, and
may have contained more truth than
poetry. Poor old Horace Greely spoke
of Democracy in nearly the same Ian
guage; but he headed the ticket in
1872, and the party forgave and for
got the past in the hopes of victory,
which were never realized. After the
.treachery of the Democratic house re-
garding the silver bill, the members of
the party who are Inclined to believe
in the ideas of Gen. Weaver regarding
the financial question, can easily forget
a few hasty words in supporting prin-
ciples they so heartily endorse.

A Gard From Mrs. Birgfeld.
THE DALLEs, August z, lS9

The DALLES, August Z, 1872.
Editor TIass-MoUNrAINEER:
see in the Oregonian OF August 4th
statement that story is being circulated
here, that Mr.. Birgfeld. my husband, was
with my father in California at the time of
his death, and that certain parties in The
Dalles are intimating that my husband had
something to do Herewith. This story is
as unjust and without foundation as are
other stories that are being industriously
circulated by my husbands enemies.
The facts about my fathers death are SIM
ply as follows: In May of 1888 my father.
who had been i'll for over year, became SO
much worse that doctors here advised him
to 90 to California for bis health. He
thought great deal of Mr.. B:rgfeld and
desired him to go with him to take care of
him, which Mr. Brgield consented willingly
to do. Mr. Birgfeld stayed in San Fran
cisco two weeks. My father seemed much
better and Mr. Birgfeld returned to The
Oalles, where he remained but short time
when my father got worse and telegraphed
to him to come down, as he needed him to
take care of him. Mr.. Birgfeld went at
once to California III response to the tele.
gram, and, upon consultation with the ply.
sicIans found my father in so dangerous a
condition that he telegraphed Immediately
for my mother, who went down, and Mr..
Brrgfeld came home, leaving my mother
with my father, and did not see him again
until he was brought mp here for burial. He
was not with my father and did not see him
for nearly two weeks before his death, my
mother being with him all of that time.
1t seems impossible that even a mans
most bitter enemies would start such unjust
and malicious reports against him, and,
surely, the object of all these fabrIcations
that are going around. without any founda-
tions, must be for the purpose of deliberate
persecution, and to prevent my husband
from establishing his innocence of the terri
BILE charge now pending against him. I
know that my husband has many enemies,
but it seems to me that for my sake and for
the sake of our little children, if not for his
own, people should accord him common
Justice and fair show to prove his limo.
cence. aud not be constantly lnventing and
spreading these false and unjust stories, for
the evident purpose of prejudIcing his Gaze.

More Miners to strike.

FA1RMoNT, w. Va, Aug. S.-To-mor-
row 5000 miners in this portion of the
Monongahea valley and the Wheeling
district will begin a strike to force rec
ognition of their labor organizations.
The operators throughout this section
have made hard fight against the labor
union, and they declare that they will
close their mines permanently if neces
sary to WIN the struggle. Considerable
dissatisfaction exists among the union
miners of Kanawha valley, and it is
probable that the strike will spread to
that section, when 10000 men will be
affected.
