MILL CITY, May "a, 1894.
The Democrats were here the day
before US. Editor Flagg endorsed PEN
noyer, embraced Populism, nattered
the Peoples party and kissed Popu-

all one set Of brothers. on the Astoria
platform, with common destiny, ETC.,
etc. The Republican meeting was q
regular love feast of enthusiasm for
protection, sound money, prosperous
,ountry and development Of grand old
Marion county. All the candidates
we're introduced and spoke their piece.

THE TARIFF AND LABOR.
At Mehama the night before We
we're there Mr.. Flagg, Democratic Cal =
| date for senator, declared that manu-
f.ctured goods should be brought from
England and exchange for the farmers
orJducts. In my reply showed tina
bis policy would not leave any room
or laboring man to live In the oouu

will never float over our state house.

The saw mills at Mill City and Mint
are both running and illustrate In
nall way the benefit Of protection
tariff to the laboring man. AT Mimic
wing to material advantages logs can
oe got into the mill some cheaper thar
At Mill City and lumber can be go
out correspondingly cheaper, But thsr
II no reason why the mills at Mill City
should shut down or why man living
there who wants to build house
should go to Minto for his lumber. j.
he can't get employment at Mill City
how can he buy lumber at any pric,
II he has work he can better afford to
Jaya little more at home and hav.
some money TO buy other things with.
There il not an article Manufactured
IN our own country that could not
uuder free trade before we began TO
manufacture II In the United States
have been imported cheaper from some
other country. But unless we had b,
gan manufacturing in our country
under a protection tariff there would
never have been any factories started
In our country and no work for the
wage laborer. The difference between
free trade and protection IL not s,
much question between high wage,
and low wages In our country, rs 1t Is
OF any wages nj all. Mr.. Jory said at
Turner that he was protectionist, but
resorted to the demagogery OF saying
that u protective tariff now did not pro.
tect labor and guarantee high wages.
Any system that shuts out OF our eoun.
try anything that can be produced
here is an advantage to the American
labor that must produce it. Nosystem
can fix wages between employer and
employed. But u system that compels
the employment Of skilled or unskilled |
American labor, to produce that here
at home which would otherwise he
produced by foreign labor abroad and |
then imported to our country free Of
dlty, such tariff system cannot bul
Improve the condition of the laborers of |
our country. That IL the idea Of pro. |
tective tariff, and Mr.. Jory simply |
stands with the Populists In congress
who ARE supporting the Wilson bill. |
We believe Mr.. Jory Is "a protectionist
aud we believe he wants To be on the
right side. Aud SO do other Popullsts.
But their party Ignores the vital ques-
Ion of an American protective tariff
and leaves the rank aud file without
