OLD FOLKS WHIST.

Last evening was the regular date
for the Old Folks whist club TO indulge
in one Of its regular contests at whist.
The company was highly entertained
at the bospltable home of State Treas
urer Phil. Metscban, and the following
named guests were present: Mr.. and
Mrs. Frank Metschan, Mr.. and Mrs
r. b. Fleming, Mr.. and Mrs. ]. d.
Sutherland. Mr.. and Mrs. G. d. Ga
brielson, Mr.. and Mrs. j. 9. Wright,
Mr.. and Mrs. e. Breymsn, Mr.. and
Mrs. E. M. Waite, Mr.. and Mrs. s. F.
Chadwick, Mr.. and Mrs. w. II. viii:
Hanson, Mrs. Geo. Williams, Mr.. f.
@. Cross,
The head prizes were won by Mrs.
e. M. Waite and Hon. John Gabriel
Wright. The latter it seems has done
such good playing at all times, win
ming nearly all the first prizes, that
some Of the club have become so rude
as to actually believe that he is trihe
hoggish about the matter. or course
there is nothing to it, Notwithstanding
his good run of luck. OF course Mr..
Wright has taken keen interest in
the growing hog industry in Oregon,
and out of pure appreciation for his un-
seliishness several choice specimens
of hogs have been presented to him at
different times. Not satisfied with
past records, he must again display his
real nature at whist at this last party,
and mine host was not to be outdone
by any past awards. When the prizes
were given this great prize winner
was presented with real live Today
old Poland China porker, fresh from
Polk county. He the Poland China
hog was 80 intimidated that he
couldn't even squeal, but the mem
bers Of the club made up for the noise
the poor scared porker lacked. The
real pig hadn't even the grace to be
ashamed of himself, and the prize
winner says he will fatten up his prize
and give a roast'pig banquet for the
club on New Years day.

then referred to the return ball, ont of
which half a million dollars were
drawn; also the pigs in clover, the
planchette, the fifteen, fourteen, six
teen puzzle, and numerous inventions
of similar character, as the best
money-making patents granted of late
years. There are hundreds of improve
ments patented for photographing,
stereotyping and for electric appli-
ances. 1t is stated that the Bell
Telephone company has bought up
every improvement which has ever
been patented for the telephone; and
all of these improvements are kept
under guard, in order to prevent the
public from using them. That is to
say that, if the patented improvements
upon telephony were in popular use,
the service would be greatly i'm
proved, but it would cost considerable
money to equip the telephone service
of the country, and the people must
get along with what they have; at
least for the time being. 1t is easier
to pay $1,000 to 5000 to a poor in
ventor for his invention, than it would
be to spend thousands of dollars in
manufacturing an Improvement which
the people can get along without.
Nevertheless, it does seem as though
humanitarian instincts would prompt
the telephone people to make it easier
for US to say hello" without painful
diaphragmatic contortions of inhala-
ton and expansion. SMITH D. FE3.

How 1t Works.

The first echo from the tariff bill
was an increase of the price of sugar,
which came from our grocery stores
The second comes from the Trenton
potteries. They are to be closed.
Wages had just been reduced twelve
and a half per cent. and the only con-
dition on which they can now be run
is another wage cut of twenty per
cent. on plain and sixty per cent. on
decorated ware. The new bill as it
passed the house reduces the duty to
thirty and thirty-five per cent. re-
spectively. The average reduction be-
low the Mckinley rate is forty-three
and a half per cent. The operators
unitedly declare that the new bill is
the death blow to the pottery industry

One thing cannot be reiterated too often and

FAILURE OF THE DEMOCRACY.
Distrust and Defeat the Portion of the
Party in Power.

| Distrust and Defeat the Portion of the
Party in Power.
The acceptance by the house of rep
| resentatives of the senate tariff bill is
a surrender of the democratic party to
small coterie of senators who have
been the active agents of the sugar
trust. 1t is the defeat of the just ex-
pectations of the people who placed
the democratic party in power in both
the executive and legislative branches
of the government, believing that it
would reform the tariff. This disap-
pointment has been anticipated, but
the contempt and anger which it has
aroused will not be the less for that
reason. The democratic party has
failed to perform what 1t has itself
declared again and again to be it's
mission. Is has, therefore, invited dis
trust and defeat, and will assuredly
receive its just deserts. What hope
it has for the future lies in the prom
ised laundering of republican politi-
clans like ex-Speaker Reid and Sena
tor Lodge, who are endeavoring to ne
goiate an alliance with the populists.
cradle and abject condition will at
least teach it the wisdom which it
ought to have learned many years ago.
and that it will now rid itself of the
leaders who have always invited dis
trust of it, retarding its progress, and
at last turned its victory into ashes.
1t must be confessed that so much
courage and wisdom are not to be ex-
pected of it confidently. The imbe-
Gritty which attended the steps of the
tariff bill does not inspire hope. II
the democratic party were wise it
would not have adopted the populist
income tax. If it were courageous it
would not have accepted the bill
with the sugar trust schedule In
it. 1t would have continued to fight
for its principles with such vigor
and such sincerity that the Germans,
Brices, Smiths. Murphys and Hills
would have recognized ut last that
they could no longer successfully pose
as democrats. 1t has done nothing
but yield There is nothing in the
official record of the national demo
cratic party to show that German,
Brice and Smith will not again be able
to pledge it to Louisiana or any other
protectionists with whom they may
make bargain.
What the effect of all this may be
on national politics it is too early tc
determine. The tariff question is at
rest for the moment, and there will be
no further agitation of it during Mr..
Cleveland's administration. On other
questions the drift of events will set
tie the attitude of parties. This much,
however, is certain, that for the first
time in the history of the country e
single monopoly, audacious, insolent
and confessedly corrupt, has succeeded
in debating to congress law affecting
the general welfare, the revenues OF
the government and the tariff policy |
of the country. And for this consum-
nation the democratic party is respon-
sible.-Harper's Weekly.

copper toes had to pay royalty, which
enriched the originator of the idea. An
immense amount of money was made
by William ID. Ewart out of an i'm
proved attachment for machine har-
vesters called driving chain" The
idea of making metal plates for the
heels and soles of shoes was very SIM

OF course every reader of the daily
papers know that nearly all inventors
are subjected to the wiles and wicked
ness of swindlers. While 1t is true
that quite a number of men have ac-
cumulated fortunes out of the product
of their brains, the majority of inven-
tors remain very poor, and go to their
graves in the bitterness of disappoint-
ment. The very poor inventors, they
who are struggling for livelihood
upon the farm or in the workshop, are
subjected to confidence games unless
they are very wary. There are some
slick and smooth swindlers here in
Washington who study the weekly
Gazette, issued by the patent Office for
the sole purpose of ascertaining the
names and addresses of poor inventors
to whom patents have been granted.
Then they write to each one, saying:
I'VE see that you have got 4 good
thing. We know certain parties who
will put it on the market, supplying
the necessary capital. Send twenty
dollars to cover the cost Of negotia-
tons" The inventor perhaps borrows
the money and forwards it by mail.
Subsequently he is informed that if
teen dollars more will be required. asd
in this way he is worked until nothing
more can be got out of him. Inventors
everywhere should beware of these
swindlers. The regular attorneys who
are permitted to practice before the
interior department are reliable men.
The inventor who receives letters, of
1erlng 10 put his device upon the mar
ket, should refer such letters to some
reputable attorney. Under no cir
cumstances should money be sent to
strangers.
The greatest fortune known to have
been accumulated by an inventor in
this country was made by Cyrus Nc
Cormick, inventor of the machine
harvester. He was worth over S2O,-
0O1, 900 when he died. That sum has
never been approximated by the Bell
telephone, the Westinghouse air brake,
nor by all of the wonders of the
wizard who has given US the phono-
graph and the electric marvels of the
century.

Its Paralyzing Effects on New Branches
of Industry.
The new democratic tariff is dis
tinctly not democratic tariff in prin-
ciple. In important portions it treats
all democratic principles and pledges
with absolute contempt. In spots it is
really and highly protective, and the
favors granted to few monopolies are
all the worse because other industries
with which they have relations or com
pete are ground into the dust under
free trade theories. Thus one manu-
facturer of certain kinds of steel is en-
abled by high duties to pay his hands
as high wages as they have received,
or even higher, while other manufact
urers of steel in the same neighbor-
hood, producing different articles. are
forced TO reduce wages 80 per cent. or
shut up. The favored monopoly can
thus get labor cheaper, because thou
sands doing similar work will be
thrown out of employment, even while
he can realize a great profit without
any reduction. But while favoring
some interests, the bill of sale pro-
fesses to be protective in almost every
part, and its profession is generally
fraudulent.
The democratic theory that specific
duties are deceptive and wrong in
principle this tariff disregards WHEREBY
er it finds particular interest that it's
trainers wish to aid. But a perfect
comprehension of the fact that ad
valorem duties open the way to fraud,
and thus render protection unreal and
Enthusiastically, is shown in the choice
of such duties wherever an interest
was to be slaughtered while a show
was to be made of defending it. Thus
the rice of Carolina has the real de-
Tense of specific duties; the animals
and breadstuffs of Northwestern farm
ers have only the bogus defense of
adj valorem duties. New specific du-
ties are created for favored interests;
on round wire, for instance, blasting
powder, photographic plates on card
board, cigar labels, red pepper, and the
duties on cotton goods are more fully
specific than those of the present tar
iff, while the great wooden industry is
lett to destruction with only ad val
orem duties, and nearly all the duties
on cutlery, fax and linens, leather,
buttons, boiler plate, hoop iron, chains,
fence and corset wire, nails, firearms
and railway fish plates are ad valorem,
and leave producers at the mercy of
fraudulent importations. The follow
ing shows the character of the duties
in the present tariff and the character
of the duties on the same articles un-
der the proposed tariff:

ties on these are expected to be re-

reduction of 26.5 pei cent. The
changes are calculated to destroy inn
portant branches of manufacture in
chemicals, metals, fax and hemp,
woolens and sundries, besides those
which the heavy reductions of duty
will affect. But in place of s4s. s39.s2s
taken from duties on articles remain
ing dutiable, and S13, 761, 4s6 taken off
from articles made free. the sugar and
