WHERE IT HITS THE FARMERS.

When the democrats were plan
ming their tariff scheme they
were loud i'll expressing their de-
termination to open "the markets
of the world" to all American
products. They were especially
strong in their promises to the
farmers, picturing the nations of
the world drawing on the surplus
from the great industry of Amer
ican agriculture. 1t has been
shown that under the new order
of things American manufactur-
ers have lost some of their foreign
markets, and at the same time
have had to compete with greatly
increased ilnportations of foreign
manufacturers. The farmers
have Jared even worse. and no
small portion of the present agri-
cultural depression can be traced
to this source. The German
Wilson tariff law went into effect
late in August, 1894, and, there
fore, comparison of the figures
for the year preceding and the
year following September I, 1894,
gives fair idea of the operation
of the Mckinley law and the
democratic "bill of SALE" The
following table tells the story:

SURRENDER OR FIGHT.

The controversy between this
nation and England seems to be
narrowing down to definite
issue. 1t is somewhat difficult to
arrive at the real status of the
affair, for in the telegraphic re-
ports so many surmises and con-
lectures are mixed i'll with the
real facts. However, at the pres
ent time 1t seems that either one
or other of the two countries
must recede from its present
position in order to avoid war.
If the most authentic reports
obtainable are true England says
it wont arbitrate, while the United
States declares England must
submit to arbitration the territory
at present in dispute or relin-
quish all claims thereto.
We have been taught that war
is a terrible thing, a national
calamity. We have realized that
such lessons are true. We are
even yet in the shadow of the
war of thirty years ago, yet it is
doubtful if the average American
would not rather welcome a call
to arms and find sweet music in
the alarurn of the army bugle.
The mildest hammered of us
would certainly prefer war to
back down on the part of Uncle
Sam,

regular session of the circuit
court a seriously heavy one as
they examine the bill of ex-
penses. There seems to be an
unnecessary waste Or extrava-
gance somewhere that business
like methods can cure. The
county court is not responsible
for under the present system it
has little or no power to even
audit the bills but must pay all
claims as sworn in. The circuit
judge certainly should look after
this matter of expense a little
more closely. He is in part to
blame for the piling up of costs.

men. The matter is now in the
hands of the men who are sworn
to look after the interests of the

to a fair trial and will no doubt
be given every opportunity to
prove their innocence, but if the
evidence sustains the charges it
is believed that every councilman

4 SILLY MATTER.

In the last issue of the GAZETTE
appeared an item concerning Nh.
Louis Southworth in which that
gentleman was quoted as believ-
ing that the county division was
an unwise movement. A paper
calling itself the Lincoln County
Leader comes at the GAZETTE
with a wonderful deluge of vile
English and the most daring of
ungram1natical sentences. 1t de-
clares to the GAZETTE a few
facts which we are most truly
thankful to know. 1t obligingly
informs us that the county di-
vision is an accomplished fact.
The editor of the Leader is a
profound student and points out
the page in the session laws of
'o3 wherein may be found the
act. He tells the GAZETTE that
this paper "can not turn back
the scroll of time and obliterate
from the pages. of history this
actual fact"
We have never tried. We,
however, accept the editor of the
Leader as authority on the
turning back" proposition as
he has very little to do but ex-
pertinent. The Leader rather
unwisely indulges in what it
Intends as sarcasm concerning
s'broken down political hacks"
Such an attack on the pillars of
its county is downright treason.
What else was Lincoln county
organized for but as an asylum
for few homeless and worn out
politicians d? For shame, Mr..
Leader man don t smite the hand
that feeds you!
However, all this is absolutely
silly. That little Toledo oyster
paper can't see beyond the rock
it's clinging to. Mr.. Southworth
was not the spokesman for the
GAZETTE. He has a right to
his opinions and is man worth |
quoting. He said he was sorry
of the county division and he
certainly has right to be sorry
if he wants to. But what has this
to do with the GAZETTE? This
paper was left on the east side of
the division line and has no
proper cause for kicking. We
are not kicking, and don't have
to kick, the little Leader to the
contrary Notwithstanding.
The GAZETTE has no fight
whatever to make Oh Lincoln
county. This paper is always
ready and willing to aid the de-
veloprnent of our sister county
by any means at our command.
It has ever lifted up its voice in !
behalf of the completion of the
Yaquina harbor improvements.
lincoln county certainly has a
bright future but it needs several
hings that will aid it materially
IN the road to prosperity. 1t
hould have a newspaper that is C
LIBERAL, enterprising, capable and t
espectable. One that is not b
'wned by the little coterie of I
'etty politicians that attempts to
ontrol the destiny Of the county.
t should also rid itself of that
elf same set-the ring that man
ges the affairs of the county to
heir own ACKNOWLEDGEMENT. l.

County Stock inspector R. c. Kiger
"isnes the GAZETTE to again state that
the law provides that all bands of scabbv
sheep must be dipped, and that no such
sheep VIII be allowed to be
moved to another locality until they
nave undergone this treatment at least
twice. Mr.. Kiger says that should the
second treatment fail to entirely cure the
disease the affected sheep will then be
cared for by the inspector. Mr.. Kiger
states that now is the proper time for
dipping and is anxious that sheep raisers
give the matter their immediate atten-
tion
