WHAT 1T MEANS.
The Oregonian of November 9

The Oregonian Of November 9,
1892, says:
'The country. has decreed a
change of fiscal aud industrial pol
icy in the most prosperous time it
has ever known. This is largely
the result of the large foreign vote
in the great citics. Chicago car
ried Illinois for Cleveland as the
city of New York carries New
York state for him. The labor
vote, largely foreign, ignorant OF
the extent of its prosperity, has
been misled by demagogues, and
has revolted against the best con-
ditions it has ever known. The
populist craze, based ON the same
errors that have moved the labor
vote, has contributed not little
to this result. A majority of the
voters have for the time put expe-
rience aside, rejected the policy
under which employment was
abundant and wages better than
ever before in our history, and
have decided, though without
knowing it, to put their labor Oh
an equality with that OF the cheap
labor countries of the Old World.
''There will be a rude awaken
ing. We shall now have free
trade policy. We ought to have
it. The country has voted for it,
and the present generation should
learn from experience what it
means. Naturally and inevitably
there will be a timidity in making
investments, particularly in indus
trial enterprises. Labor generally
will find the demand for it checked
since new establishments will not
be, founded, nor old ones enlarged,
under existing uncertainties. The
election of Cleveland will carry
with it a democratic majority both
in the senate and the house, and
there will be no obstacle TO legisla-
ton on the basis of the democratic
platform. 1t will be no more than
one year till the new policy can be
formulated into law and set in
operation; nevertheless it is sure
that the result of the election of
yesterday will be the beginning of
a period of industrial stagnation,
resulting from the timidity OF cap
ital and uncertainty of business,
and that the consequences will re-
coil with terrible force upon the
labor classes, through whose vote
chiefly the result has been brought
about. They who know these
things have but to wait regretfully
for events to come about which
they so plainly forsee."

SHOULD BE RESTORED.

The democratic party has been
in full control of the government
one year, which has proven the
most disastrous one known since
that party was in power, thirty
five years ago. The initiatory
steps will be taken this year look
ing to republican restoration, to
a recovery of the old conditions of
prosperity which has been lost to
the country during the brief period
of democratic power. To the re-
storation of the old conditions by
the ascendency again of a repub
lican policy, it behooves not only
republicans, but all, to work with
untiring energy. 1t is high time
the republican party was brought
back into power because the time
has arrived when tbe country
should be pulled out of the hole
it is now in. 1t is therefore neces-
sary to uphold that party in the
coming county, state and national
elections, more than ever before.
One year of democratic reign has
proven conclusively that that
party is incompetent to assume the
duties imposed upon them, and
should they continue in power,
in all branches of the government,
for the next three years, and do
no worse than they have done
during the past twelve months,
the country will surely be bank
rupt. The proper thing for US to
do now, is to take the preliminary
steps to once more get back to the
solid ground of prosperity, and
the sooner we take such action
the better. Democracy should be
sunk so far into oblivion that it
will never again become potent
factor in our government.

EVERY day, as the actions of
the present congress are heralded
abroad, the fact that the industries
OF the United States are at the
mercy of those southern bourbons
who have no regard for the enter
prise and progress which have de
veloped the country, become more
painfully evident. For instance,
look at the composition of the
democratic side of the senate
finance committee: Five of these
men are souiherners, and one,
Mr.. Voorhees,, although norther-
ner, was, to say the least, south,
ern sympathizer-during the war.
OF the five southeTners. four Of
them were Confederate officers and
one was a member of the confed-
crate house and senate. While
these men may not cherish ami
mostly toward The north, they all
of them believe that the northern
idea of business, of social insti-
tutlons, of politics, OF education
and everything that goes to make
up what the people of the north
have always prided themselves
upon. is ali wrong.

BY CUTTING DOWN WAGES.

Crisp, Wilson, Cochran and the
other democratic members predict
that the Wilson bill will lead to
increased exports of domestic
manufactures and that the Amer
leans will conquer foreign markets.
How can they unless they make
and offer goods to foreign nations
at cheaper prices than the cheap
labor goods of England, France,
Italy, Germany and Belgium are
sold for? Those nations must be
undersold to give this country a
more extensive market abroad for
its manufactures. That can be
done only by cheapening labor to
the lowest possible point. The
wages must be cut down till they
will just suffice to keep together
the souls and bodies of American
workmen and the families depend
ent on them.
Nor is that all. When that
cheap labor point is reached
where the underselling of the
manufacturing nations of Europe
begins to be felt by them, their
manufacturers will give the screws
a few turns more. They will
force down to a still lower point
the wages of their wretched work
men and thereby make still
cheaper goods for export.
Then will the American manu-
facturers turn the screws still
harder on their own workinsmen
in order to carry on this cut
throat war. Will they reduce
prices still more that they may
compete successfully with the
half-starved labor of Europe?
They must do that or throw up
the sponge and own that they are
defeated in this industrial war.
This then is the 'joyful' feast
that Crisp, Wilson and Cochran
ere spreading for American wage
earners in the name of the great
democratic party. Will the
wage workers have an appetite
for this banquet, or will they be-
think themselves with longing of
the solid feast of high wages and
steady work which the protection
republican party spread for them
in other years?

in every respect. Verify, the country
is going through a period of crawfish
reform. But there is day of reckon
ing ahead, and the verdict will be
another period of obscurity thirty
years long for the organized ncompe-
tency known as the democratic party.
1t will be long time before anyone
who heard Mr.. Bland make that bitter
speech, accusing those members of the
house who had declined to vote to
make quorum so thai his bill for the
coinage of the seigniorage, which still
has the house tied up, could be pass
ed, of teaching anarchy and of being
no better than men who would throw
dynamite bombs on the floor and
endanger the lives of those present,
will forget it, if they ever do. With
out entering into the question of wheth-
er those who declined to vote were
justified in so doing, (ex-Speaker Reed
insists that it is a question which con-
Germs only the members and the con-
stituents represented). it can be truth
fully said that man who could make
such a speech as Mr.. Bland made is
utterly unfit TO be entrusted with the
management of any bill on the floor
of the house. He lost his head, and
no man who loses his head is fitted to
be leader of other men. By none
were his Incorporate words more
|severely y condemned than by some Of
the silver men whose leader circum-
stances had made him. His standing
as a man of judgment has never been
high in the house, but he will in the
future have no standing at all. Mr..
Bland insists that his bill will be kept
before the house until it is voted upon,
but it will surprise no one to see it
Isidetracked at any time.

WASHINGTON LETTER.
WASHINGTON, Feb. 2S, 1894.

Democratic cuckoo and anti-cuckoo
senators have temporarily buried the
hatchet and are now engaged in a far
more important fight, the tariff beng
the battle ground: There are ten dem
ocratic senators who demand more
home protection than the sub-com-
mittee is willing to give them. A
caucus of democratic senators was
held this morning, but inasmuch as it
was understood beforehand that no
action binding upon the senators was
to be taken 1t has resulted in accom-
plishing nothing and the fight is still on.
The subcommittee tried to reach a
compromise by taking coal, iron ore
and sugar from the free list and put
ting small duty-epneeach of them
but that appears not to have pleased
either the freetraders or the home
protectionists. The former are kick
ing because these articles were taken
from the free list u he latter be
cause the duty placed upPn then, is too
low. 1t is IMPOSSIBLE to say what
effect this fight will have upon the
fate of the bill. 1t may be that the
home protectionists are, as the free
traders say they are, making "a grand
bluff in order to secure the highest
possible duties for the articles they
favor, and that they will in the end
fall into line and support the bill.
The retention of the income tax has
made it certain that the three popu-
lists will support the bill and Senator
Stewart, of New, may go with them.
In that case the republicans will only
have thirty-seven sure votes against
the bill, making it necessary for six
democrats to vote with them to de-
feat it. If reports are true concern
ing the condition of Senator Vance's
health he will not be able to return to
Washington to vote for the bill, and,
that will mean one vote less for the
democrats. There is still a possibility,
however, that enough democrats may
vote with. the republicans to carry
motion to postpone consideration of
the bill until next December.
Mr.. Josiah Quincy, of Massachu-
setts, ex-headsman of the department
of state, will hardly go down to histo-
ry either as great statesman or as a
shrewd political manager, but it can
not be denied that Josiah is we'll up
in the art of SELF preservation. He
has asked and beeD granted permis-
sion by the ssnassto0nittee on print
ing, which is isestigating charges
which allege that Quincy was guilty of
crookedness in getting the contract for
printing the Patent Office Gazette
awarded to parties with whom he
holds peculiar business relations, to
withhold his testimony until all the
evidence against him has been present.
ed. Mr.. Quincy frankly stated that
his reasons for asking this favor was
that he did not wish to give the other
fellows any pointers. The committee
will push the investigation as rapidly
as possible.
Even the postal cards sold by the
government are poorer and shabbier
under the democratic than they were
under the republican administration.
For proof of this assertion you have
only to compare one of the democratic
cards with one of those sold under
the last administration. You will find
the democratic card much Aimsier in
quality and the printing vastly inferior

A CHANGE OF OPINION.

"The democrats are in the habit
of camping on ground abandoned
by republicans four years ago" is
a favorite declaration Of Tom Reed
when making campaign speeches.
Since this democratic congress
seems in fair way TO adopt Reeds
method of counting a quorum, 1t
looks, to man ap a tree, as if Mr..
Reed knew whereof he spoke.
During his term as speaker of the
house there was a great hue and
cry went up from the democrats,
against Reeds czarism, as it was
called at the time, and his rulings
were characterized as an exhibition
of autocratic power which shocked
the American people. This provi-
ded the democrats with campaign
material, which they used to good
effect by holding Reed up to public
scorn as horrible example of au-
- 1y. Yet, says the Evening
EanS the I first session Of a
~ 1A.atic congress is such a tan
gle of confusion worse confounded
that the democratic leaders are
looking 10 the Reed method as the
only possible way of saving the
party from everlasting destruction.
1t is queer what a change of opln-
ions change of circumstances will
sometimes produce.
