REPUBLIoAN-DEMooR

The Chicago Graphic has the follow

class of politicians who have shown
their predictions for the Democrats
in the last few years:

of the most popular and available
candidates to be presented at the Chi

Hill uttered his famous slogan, 81 am

Chicago as the presidential candidate
against Hill. With Boies, Palmer

The Democratic party has outlined
the tariff as its work for this week in
congress, and the time will be spent in
attempting to prove that the admis-
sion of the product of English looms
is beneficial to citizens of the United
States. In the meantime the River
and Harbor bill will be pigeon holed
until a more convenient season, and
public improvements in different por-
tions of the country will be at s.and-
still. Democratic president-making
may be interesting to members of the
party who are hungry for fat positions
at the public crib; but to the people
generally who look to open rivers as
the only relief from the extortionate
freight charges of railroad monopolies,
it is wearisome and disgusting If the
Democrats desire to make votes in the
west, they should leave "well enough"
alone on the tariff question, and make
liberal appropriations to improve the
great commercial highways of the ma
tionLnavlgable rivers

Nearing u crisis.


WASHINGTON, March S.-The senate in
executive session, this afternoon, considered
the arbitration treaty in regard to the Behring
Sea. There was much opposition to it The
body of the senators bitterly resenting the
idea of any treaty and holding the right of the
United States to the waters acquired from
Russia was bey md question. They assert it
would be cowardly to surrender on the part of
this government or to submit its rights to uncer-
tain decision of foreign arbitrators. Attention
is called to the fact that one of these arbitra-
tors is the subject of apower with which our re-
lations are somewhat strained-Italy. Others
appeared to believe the approval of the treaty
to be distinct gain in the diplomatic battle,
inasmuch as it committed Great Britain to the
recognition of the fact the United States had
a claim to jurisdiction over the water of the
Behring Sea under Russian title, point
which she heretofore steadily refused to allow.
A third group thought the treaty should not be
approved finally, without the addition of a
clause renewing the modus Uiuendi; indeed
there was manifested a genaral feeling of
disappointment, growing out of the refusal
of the British government to accede to the
reasonable request of this government in that
respect. Some senators took the ground that
while the treaty might safely be ratified the
admin stration should be instructed in the
event of the continued refusal of the British
government TO insure the protection of seals
during the arbitration proceedings, to order
the vessels of the United States to seize every
vessel without regard to nationality.
After considerable discussion the treaty was
referred TO the comrnittee' on foreign rela-
tions

The suItau,s Nerve

VIENNA, March Sit is reported from
Constantinople that the sultan, under the in.
fuence of the German and Austrian ambas-
sadors, has refused to discipline the governor
of Salonica for con6scating the Russian mail
to Mount Athos recently. 1t is an open secret
in diplomatic circles that the Mount Athos
cloister has long been little less than an
advance post of the Russian army in Turkey
Of its 5000 monks, at least 1900 are non com
missioned officers, who in monks garb
traverse the surrounding country and gather
information for the Russian general staff To
facilitate their work, these officials recently
had established a special mail service from
Salonica to Mount Athos. Thus, while the
Austrian and French postofices in the city
managed only the correspondence of French
and Austrians in Turkey with foreign ports,
Russia had domestic mail service on Turkish
soil. This effrontery moved even the sultan
to anger, and, upon hint from him, the
governor of Salonica conhscated the mail to
the cloister recently, and forbade the continu-
ance of the service. The Russian consul
in Salonica reported his action to M. de
Nelidoff, In Constantinople, and the latter
protested to the sultan. The Austrian and
German ministers protested against this pro-
test 1t was hardly expected, however, that
their advice would stiffen the sultan's backbone
sufficiently to cause him to presist in opposing
this last encroachment of Russia upon his
sovereign rights.

There is no doubt that the doctrine
of.protection is growing in the west,
ED Democracy, while it favors free
trade, will lose votes in this portion Of
the United States. The following
from the Pomeroy Independent, edited
by Mr.. Mayes, a southern Democrat,
Is significant that that party is chang
ing its basis on this economic question:
"Protection is the watch word. Every
farmer and ali laborers should be pro-
tectionis:s. That is, they should
always vote to protect themselves and
let other folks do the same. 1t is the
height of foolishness for any voter in
Garfield county or the state of WASH
ington to cast his vote for protection
of some fellow In the east. That
fellow IN the east will vote for him
self and against the laborer out here
every time. Good sense and sound
judgment would dictate to every voter
to cast his ballot in his own individual
interest. That is the only way he can
do and be freeman and not a slave
to money sharks and plutocrats.
Hear what we say and be man in
voting Tor the interest of Garfield

The dispatches from London are
some What belligerent on the Benring
sea question, and, as indicated, the
tories are attempting to do something
which will make them popular with
the people. A war between these two
English-speaking peoples would be
very deplorahle, and should be avoided
by every honorable means; but the
United States have certain rights
which must be maintained at all
hazards. The right to the seal fishery
of the northwest coast of the continent
was purchased from Russia, and our
navy should protect these seals from
total destruction, even by Great Brit
ain or any of ker colonies. Peace is
desirable; but if the emergency arise
the dignity of the country should be
maintained by resort to arms.

The Democrats. in the lower house


The Democrats, in the lower house
of congress, with their overwhelming
majority, have DO easy task in settling
the questions CT the tariff and the
currency, They desire to mark out a
distinct and separate policy ON these
subjects from that followed by the
Republican party, and they find it
very difficult. This is a presidential
year, and the least mistake will be
fatal to the prospects of their candi-
dates, and for this reason they are
acting with great caution. But how
ever careful they may be in their
actions, the people are aware of their
position on these vital issues, and that
is free-trade regarding our industries
and unlimited silver as circulating
medium. On this platform the De
mocracy will 60 before the country,
and it is safe to state that they will
meet with overwhelming defeat.

mouth has superior natural advantages
as a seaport to points in the interior is
also beyond question. With a rail-
road to the Willamette valley, the

SUCCESS ALWAYS SUCCEEDS.

The Democrats attempt to support
their doctrine of free-trade by all
manner of subterfuges, and 1T is some
what amusing to read some OF the ar
guments produced. The saying that
the tariff is a tax upon the consumer
has become, stereotyped, and the party
appears to believe that the repetition
of this answers the lack of proof. But
it is nevertheless absolutely false, as
can be easily proved by reference to
dozen imported articles, on which
there is heavy duty, and which are man
ufactured cheaper here than the selling
price in the foreign country. Of
course, the tariff in such instances, en-
courages home industries, gives en-
ployment to laborers, and, instead of
being tax on the consumer, is
direct benefit to the poorer classess of
the United States. Without protec-
ton, the republic to day would be
dependent on European countries for
many of the convenieIces and necessi-
ties of life, and the drain of coin
would be much larger than it is.
The principles of the American policy
are easily understood, and appeals
to the patriotism of every citizen.
They are the simple rules which every
intelligent man puts into practice in
his own business, and without which
there would be no attractions towards
family or country. But, as has often
been stated, the test of experience Is
the only one that can be applied to any
industrial policy. The rules of busi-
ness can be laid down to the young
man starting in mercantile pursuits;
bat, whether he will be successful In
accumulating competence, amid the
varying vicissitudes to which business
life is subject, can only be ascertained
by actual experiment. The same is
true of every rule of political economy,
and is as applicable to nations as to
individuals. When the United States
assumed her position in the family of
nations, she begun. life on protective
policy, and during an eventful history
of over century her most successful
epochs, in financial sense, have been
those when the heavier duties were
imposed on foreign imports. When
the MorriI tariff law was passed by |
congress, terrible financial depression
was prevalent. The south was in
rebellion, credit abroad had depre-
ciated, and an army. had to be fed
from depleted treasury. During the
past quarter of century, by pursuing
a protective policy, these difficulties
have been overcome, the national
credit established by the payment of
the public debt as it became due, and
an era of prosperity enjoyed by the
people never before realized. 1t is
not worth the time to argue this
question on minor matters. The logic
of events, which are indisputable,
have proved protection the most sue
cessful policy for this nation, and
"nothing succeeds like success"

The Democrats can have no reason
to complain of the Associated Press
regarding the report of the tariff de-
bate in the lower house of congress-
Democratic speeches have been given
nearly in full, while Republican re-
Joinders have only received very
little mention. We have no fear that
the party of protection can not ably
defend its position, and the Congress
sional Record, which will publish the
deoate in full, will do honor to the
champions of the American policy.

If Mr.. Salisbury will not admit the
modus vivendi to be in operation, and
the seals to be protected from slaughter
until the question of an open or closed
Behring sea is settled by arbitration,
it is feared these animals will be so

why such careful statesman as the

before the commissioners of the two
countries will have arrived at an
agreement, and in the meantime the

the sealing grounds should be pro-
