LABOR.

We hold that the most efficient way
of protecting American labor is to
prevent the Importation of foreign
pauper labor to compete with it in
the home market, and that the value
OF the home market to our American
farmers and artisans is greatly re
duced by a vicious monetary system
which depresses the prices of their
products below the cost of produc
ton, and thus adeprives them of the
means of purchasing the products Of
our home manufactures.

TRUSTS.

The absorption of wealth by the
few, the consolidation of our leading
railroad systems and the formation of
trusts and pools, require a stricter
control by the Federal government
Of those arteries of commerce. We
demand the enlargement of the power
Of the Interstate Commerce Commits
sion and euch restrictions and guar
antees IL the control OF railroads as
viii project the people from robbery
and oppression.

TARIFF.

We hold that tariff duties should be
levied for purposes of revenue, such
duties to be so adjusted as to operate
equally throughout the country, and
not discriminate between class or sec
ton, and that taxation should be
limited by the needs of the govern
ment, honestly and economically
administered. We denounce as dis
turbing to business the republican
threat to restore the Mckinley law,
which has twice been condemned by
the people in national elections, and
which, enacted under the false plea
of protection to home industries,
proved a prolific breeder of trusts
and monopolies, enriched the few at
the expense Of the many, restricted
the trade and deprived the pro.
ducers of the great American staples
of access to their natural markets.
Until the money question is settled
we are opposed to any agitation for
further changes in our tariff laws eX-
cept such az are necessary to meet
the deficit in revenue caused by
adverse decision of the Supreme
Court on the income tax. But for
this decision by the Supreme Court,
there would be no deficit in the rev.
enue under the law passed by a
Democratic Congress in strict pur-
suance of the uniform decisions of
that court for nearly one hundred
years, that court having in that de
cision sustained constitutional objec-
lions to its enactment which had pre-
viously been overruled by the ablest
judges who ever sat On that bench.
We declare that it is the duty of Con-
gress to use all the constitutional
power which remains after that deci-
sion, or which may come from its
reversal by the court, as it may here
after be constituted, so that the
burdens of taxation may be equally
and impartially laid to the end that
wealth may bear its due proportion
of the expense of the government.

BONDS.

We are opposed to the issuing of
interest bearing bonds OF the United
States in time Of peace, and condemn
the trafficking with banking syndi-
Gates which, in exchange for bonds
erd at an enormous profit to them
selves, supply the Federal tire asury
with gold to maintain the policy OF
gold monometallism.
Congress alone has the power to
coin and issue money, and President
Jackson declared that this power
could not be delegated to corpora
tions or individuals. We, therefore,
demand that the power to issue notes
to circulate as money be taken from
the national banks and that all paper
money shall be issued directly by the
treasury department, be redeemable
in coin and receivable for all debts,
public and private.

Some time ago the one year-old

lin Forks, Pa, had a very severe
attack of collie. She suffered great
pain. Mr.. Lindsey gave her dose

her distress was gone. This is the
best medicine in the world for chill
dren when troubled with collie or

OF Interest to Settlers.

The senate committee on public lands
has reported favorably upon bill intro
duced by Senator Mitchell, which is Of
considerable Importance TO settlers on
lands in this and adjoining counties
II is known as the double-medium re-
funding bill. This measure provides for
the refunding TO the settlers within for
feited railroad grants Of all more than
$l.25 per acre, paid by those who set
tied on even numbered sections, and
made their payments at the double
mimum price. II is well known that
the double price was paid because it
was believed that lands within railroad
grants were much more valuable than
those outside. This was no doubt true,
so long as no roads were built in the
lands outside the grants. Afterward,
with the building Of roads, the lands
which were sold at $1.25 per acre be-
came as valuable as those which we're
inside the grants. The fact that the
roads we're not built as anticipated, GER
tainly ought to make it plain that the
persons who paid the higher price for
lands are now entitled to get them for
what they would have paid for them II
no grant had been made. The settlers
mostly interested in this bill are be-
tween Wallula and Portland, on the old
grant OF the Northern Pacific road.
There are other sections Of the country
interested, and the aggregate amount to
be returned is so large that it will no
doubt cause considerable opposition in
the senate. There is proposition to
confne it simply to the forfeited grant
in Oregon and Washington, but that is
scarcely practicable.

How to Kill Squirrels.

Already the ground squirrel, or sage
rat, which is the bane of the Eastern
Oregon farmer, is making its appearance
in different parts OF the country, the
mild winter having apparently been es-
pecially favorable to them. In parts OF
Umatila county they are said to be max
ing their appearance in unusually large
numbers and the farmers express alarm
lest they shall prove more destructive
than common. The farmers in those sec
tioes are waging war upon the little
marauders, and Mr.. V. @. Daniels tells
the East 0regonian his manner Of opera
tion. lie takes "a Of an ounce of strych-
nine and half gallon OF wheat, with q
pint Of sweetened water, In the water
the strychnine is dissolved and poured
over the wheat. Over the mixture
enough flour is sprinkled to dry it, and
when thus prepared one-third OF tea
spoonful is all that is required at one
hole to kill two or three squirrels.
Mr. Daniels says this is the best sea-
son of the year to exterminate the pests,
for ut the present time the squirrels are
weak and on account Of scarcity Of food,
hungry. They will eat the poisoned
wheat and their Weakness causes
them to die even when eating two OF
three kernels OF the poisoned grains.

A Narrow Escape.
Medford Monitor.

G.. w. Mackey, our popular photogra-
pher, had a narrow escape from serious
injury at Gold Hill, Saturday night.
He was with the crowd OF Oriental prin-
ces which went to institute lodge at
that place. When the train stopped at
the station he understood it was at the
tank and would stop again. When the
train pulled out he realized his mistake
and attempted to alight with his camera
and tripod in his hand. There was no
light at the station and he struck some
baggage standing on the platform and
was thrown under the train. He tum-
bled in heap, with one leg across the
rail, but quick as a flash, before the
back trucks OF the passing car could
reach him, he was jerked from his peril
ous position by &, NJ Snyder, a cool
headed young blacksmith of this city,
His action saved Mr. Mackey the loss Of
leg and perhaps his life, The $. p
