The Atlanta Constitution says "the
sooner the Democratic party moves
against the Mckinley tariff on the
lines of its platform the better it will
be for the country and the party"
We hope this sentiment will be en-
dorsed by the Democratic press
throughout the country, for Republi-
cans have great confidence that the
test of free.trade for four years will
make the United States solidly Re
publican for the next quarter of a
century. The Mckinley law, has been
tested, aud the result has been an In
crease of the wages paid to employees in
every department of productive in
dustry, and this has been proved by
the figures of Democrats. Repuoli-
cans desire to see free-trade inaugu-
rated, 50 that the people can be made
to understand by practical experience
what'a blunder they made last Nov
ember.

Spring has fairly begun in this 10
cality, and it promises to be one of the
most prosperous of any experienced by
The Dalles for many years. To keep
abreast of the food-tide of prosperity
which will spread over the northwest
this year 1t will be necessary to call
into existence greater degree of enter
prise than heretofore exhibited, and
the community which excels in
this will be very successful in growth
and development. The thousands of
foreigners which will visit this country
this year will come for the purposes of
investigation into our resources, and
the northwest offers many inducements.
Many of these foreigners will be capl-
talists seeking opportunities for invest
ment, and their money will be used in
different avenues of industrial develop.
ment. Our own state presents good
field for capital, and almost any in
dustry inaugurated would insure good
returns to investors. Regarding situa
tior and. facilities for productive in
dustries The Dalles presents many ad-
vantag-s, and with the development of
the state, will enjoy unprecedented
prosperity. At the head of naviga
tion, with an open river to the ocean,
and the great wheat belt of the Inland
Empire tributary to it, this city is yet
destined to be the great commercial
and manufacturing center of Eastern
Oregon.

1t does not follow from the failure
of man in public life to manage his
private affairs with profit that he is
devoid of business ability, says the Im-
ter Ocean. Richard Golden, who was
to the free-traders of Great Britain
what Governor Mckinley has been to
the protectionists of the United States,
was a man of remarkable business
ability. Beginning with nothing at
all, he placed himself in possession of
an annual income estimated at $4O,-
900 before he bad reached his 3Oth
year. But as soon as he went into
parliament politics absorbed him SC
completely as to divert his attention
from his manufacturing business, which
fell into a. state of decay. A sense oi
justice and gratitude led these Eng
lIshmen who had made millions during
the period of remarkable, though bu,
temporary, prosperity that followed
the adoption of his policy of free-trade
to contribute and present him with the
noble sum of 100000. 1t was upor
the interest of this that he lived dur.
ing the last twenty-five years of hi
life.

ity is not impeaohed by recent events

POLITICAL CONVERTS.

Democracy appears to offer pre-
miums on all turn-coats who will join
its ranks, and if there are any wofn-
out Republican politicians who desire
fame it is only necessary for them to
announce the fact that they have allied
themselves with the Democratic party.
Of late years it has shelved those who
have stood by the principles of the
party through evil as well as good re-
port, and rewarded the treachery of
those who have attached themselves to
it for sinister motives. David b.
Hill, Democrat of Democrats, could
not receive a cabinet position; but
Gresham, lifelong Republican, was
made the chief minister in the new
cabinet. The words of Palmer are
considered as oracles of wisdom, and
his Democracy dates from recent years.
Horace Greeley spent the best years of
his life abusing tie Democratic party,
and in his dotage was placed at the
head of the ticket as its choice for
president. When Andrew johnson
attempted to change the administra-
.ion of national affairs inaugurated by
Abraham Lincold, he was applauded
by the Democracy. And the plan Of
idolizing turn-coats has been adopted
with Carl Schurz, George William
Curtis and several others. The hon
est expression of Senator Hill-ln the
midst of so much fulsome fattery of
mugwumps-"I am a Democrat" !"
sounds refreshing, even if it was ut
tered by one whose political principles
we cannot endorse. Honor and in
tegrity of purpose are to be admired in
enemies; but for great political party
to fatter and applaud every disgrun-
tied office seeker who comes to ats fold
"for.revenue only" is simply disgust
ing. The David b. Hills IL Demo
cratic ranks are relegated to the rear,
and the Greshams and Palmers are
placed in the front.

A Democratic exchange has the
effronterY to state, in speaking of
Governor McKlnley's misfortunes,
that "he was the author of legislation
that robbed the workingmen OF this
country of millions of dollars" Such
a statement would be audacity if it
were not so utterly false. 1t has been
proved by Democratic statisticians that
under the operations of the Mckinley
law wages were increased in every de-
partment of industrial employment in
the country, and the purchasing power
of money was higher than ever before.
1t is indisputable evidence of an entire
disregard for truth and decency for an
editor-whether he be Democrat or
Populist-to make such an assertion
in the face of Peck's report in New
York and Pelle' IN Indiana, and when
the honesty of Major Mckinley has
made him bankrupt.

EDITORIAL NOTES

Washington City will be the Mecca
of Office seekers after Inauguration, and
every department will be besieged
after to-day by numerous persons de-
string some substantial benefit from a
Democratic administration.
Governor Mckinley has manfully
stated that he cannot accept the assist
ance offered him. This is the true
spirit to exhibit, and one worthy of
the author of the bill which has done
more to protect American labor and
laborers than all the attempted legis-
lation of the Democrrtic party for the
past thirty years.
The statement that Mr.. Cleveland
will not favor his former appointees,
but will look out for new ones, will he
surprising intelligence to very many.
During the last campaign these men
worked hard for the election of their
favorite, expecting to receive their re
ward. Republics is ungrateful,' d and
office holders are afflicted with the
same disease.
The first question of any import
ance for the Cleveland administration
to settle will be the annexation of
Hawaii. AS the traditions of Dem
ocracy tend toward accession. it is
very likely that the Sandwich Islands
will be placed under the American
flag. THIS will be agreeable to por-
tion of the American people, and will
be opposed by others
Senator Morgan, of Alabama, has
made speech in the senate favoring
the annexation of Hawaii, and this
will be one of the first questions acted
upon by the special session of con-
gress. Democrats may achieve lit
tle cheap notoriety by pursuing
policy of annexing all the insignificant
islands in the Pacific; but their fame
will not be lasting, for the result will
not be the perpetual. good of our
people.

Drowned In the f oods.

VIENNA, Feb. 2S-A terrible calamity has

a mother with five children, gave up, sank
and perished in the flood. Those were fol-

Harrison has been naturally responsive.

WHY GOLD is EXPORTED.

In the discussion consequent upon
the recent gold shipments to Europe,
coupled with the banks in exchanging
their legal-tender notes, and the pat
riotism displayed thereby, says the N.
Y. Post, there is one question which
seems to be overlooked and upon which
the whole thing turns. 1t is this: To
whom does the money belong which is
being shipped in gold to Europe9 Peo-
pie generally do not pay money unless
they owe it. OF course charitable and
patriotic and philanthroplc individuals
may contribute of their abundance to
help causes of these kinds; but to say
that the foreign bankers have anything
to do with sending the gold to Europe,
except as agents, Is all nonsense. The
whole question turns upon the owner
ship of the money, and hence rises the
query, To whom does the money be-
long2 Either it is due by parties in
the United States to people in Europe
for goods or securities bought, or it has
been sent here in times gone by for
employment because it paid better
rate of interest than could be obtained
in Europe. The owners can now get
their money back at about the same
rate they sent it; but if the currency
gets to silver basis, so the gold the
English sent here at $4.S6 to the
pound sterling is returned to them at
$3.50 or Sc to the pound to get it
back; or in case of French money that
cost them only FIVE francs to the dol
lar, and when they sent it back only
getting four francs to the dollar, they
say, ave will call our money home
while we can get five francs for every
dollar, rather than wait for the money
here to be only silver and worth four
francs to the dollar-a loss OF ~ per
cent" So they order the foreign bank
ers where they have their funds de-
posted to send it back, and they do
so. AS to being able to ascertain the
amount of money belonging to people
in Europe, which is held here by the
foreign bankers, it would be impossi-
BILE; but the fact of their shipping SO
much gold to Europe shows that a
very large amount of the money in
Wall street belongs to the people in
Europe, who are calling it home lest
the United States should go to sill
yer basis and they would only get 80
per cent. on the dollar for their money.

The speaker of the Republican
house in North Dakota is reported to
have joined the Democracy because
the Republicans in that legislature did
not suit his ideas of political pro-
priety. 1t must be apparent to this
fellow that the Republicans of North
Dakota do not constitute the soul and
body of the party, and he must give a
more intelligent excuse for his treach-
cry than this subterfuge before he can
prove his honesty of purpose. Such
partlsans have little attraction to-
wards any political organization, and
add little strength to the party to
which they are attached. They con-
slider their politics the same as their
olothing-something that should be
changed at the dictation of popularity
or to follow the freaks of fashion.

Not Harmouiou

WASHINGTON, Feb. 2S---There are more
than SO appointments, recently made by
President Harrison, which have not yet
been acted upon by the senate, nor can
they be acted upon until there is an exc
cutlve session. So far the Democrats,
with the aid OF the Populists and one or
two sku!king Republicans, have been
able to vote down motions for an exc.
cutive session. and these confrmations
can not be reached. 1t is also uniortu-
nate that several Republicans are absent,
looking out for either their senatorial in
terests or ON other business. 1t is also
roticed that the pairs on the Democratic
side have repeatedly voted against exc
cutive sessions, and that they thus pre-.
vent the combinations of postmas:ers,
army officers and others OF more impor :
tance. Unless the senate ran get into
executive session tomorrow, the nomina
tions by the president are almost sure to
foil
