THE people of this country
never have believed, do not now
believe, and never will believe,
in my Judgment, not at least in
the next three generations tc
come, if ever, that a properly
devised system of protection. to
home industries, by which en-
couragenent is given to home
labor and home capital, and
whereby the labor and products
of this country are shielded
from the ruinous effects of com
petition with the cheap labor
and the products of the cheap
and in many instances absolutely
servile labor of European and
Asiatic countries, is one that will
tend to reduce the price of either
American labor or of American
products of either farm or shop
or mine. The undeniable facts
of history show conclusive1y that
there is no warrant for any such
belief.-Senator John H. Mitch
ell, in American Economist.

To the Voters and Taxpayers of
Benton County.

GENTLEMEN: - The democrats
having objected to meeting the
people in joint canvass for the
purpose of discussing their claims
to further support at your hands,
as previously arranged and pub
lished, aud as [ have no other
way of stating my position on the
SUBJECT of the salary of the sher-
iff, | am compelled to resort to the
county papers IN order to, let you
know what you may rely Hpen in
case | should be elected.
1t is claimed by the trainers of
the bill fixing the salary OF sheriff,
that it was THEM Intention that
the sheriff should perform all the
duties of his office. for $4,000. pay
ing his own clerk and deputies.
The Inv appears capable of a diff
ferent interpretation and since its
enactment. our county court has
allowed clerk and deputy hire to
be paid by the county. This sub,
|ject was discussed in the repnbli-
can county convention and decid-
led in favor of the taxpayers. The
poplIlist convention took the same
position. The democratic conven-
tlon contented itself with allowing
the Interpretation heretofore given
to the law 10 stand, and recon-
mended the next legislature>to re-
I duce the salary. Such reduc-
tion,if passed, could not affect the
Incoming officers and should the
democrats succeed in electinp
their officers, the county would
again be mulched for two ye.rS
That there might be no possible
impedlment iii the way of theil
enjoyment Of excessive salaries
not contemplated by law, they did
not nominate a Legislature ticket
but left it blank, intending to az.
sist the populist candidates, pro
vided the popullst voters would in
return help thdm TO steal $4,000
from he taxpayers. They deny,
quibble. bluster and ridicule. bul
this is just what they mean
only this and nothing mere.
, But they have reckoned without
their host. The popuiist party
has interpreted the salary law a:
the republicans did and stands
'committed before the people
It dare not aid this steal OF

THAT BUSINESS ISSUE.

ED. GAZkTTE:-The statement appears
in the Times Of May 10Th that the business
issue has nothing to do with the Office of as
SCISSOR.
I would like to ask the Times why not, if
Mr.. Bush and Mr.. Edwards are pledged to
pay their own deputies or TO do the work in
200 days for 600 dollars, and it cost the coun
ty 1886 dollars to have Mr.. Alexander do
the work; would it not be business to hire
NJ. Bush orMr: Edwards. 1t also says the
county court proper authority to de-
;termine the nun Der Of days actually EN-
ployed in1he assessment of, the county. I
would like to- ask the Times how the county
court can determine the time required to as
sess the county. l. it not fact that tn. a.
scssor's statement has to be taken? Did not
the county court object to thu time clainrd
by Mr.. Alexander, Gf not, we have been
misinfornled) but thought 1t better to pay
than to fight the bill. We are satisfied TINT
200 days is plenty of time to assess the
county if man puts in his time assessing
faithfully. Weare satisfied Mr. Alexander
can assess the county in 200 days and we ART.
satisfied Mr.. Bush or Mr.. Edwards will rs,
scss the county in 200 days, if elected.
We think there is more Of an issue in tire
assessors Office than in the clerks or sher-
ifs office, for the democrats tell Us there
will be a reduction of the clerks and sher,
ifs salaries when elected, but d., not even
promise reform in the assessors office
/ TAXPAYER.
; Kings Valley, May 1895.
(And the democrats only say there will e
reduction in salaries in any Office if the leg
islature sees fit to take such action. Other
wise, there will be- no such reduction
Democrats promise really nothing. The
legislative contingency is a fraud and a
sham.-ED.)

A great many democrats in
this county would like to know
whether the Times purports to be
a democratic newspaper or not.
They would also desire to be in
formed : If It Claims to be a dem
ocratic: paper, whether it sup
ports the Cleveland Carlisle ring
or the free silver contingency.
The Times has seemed to forget
that there was such a thing as
the democratic party. Is it 60
ing to sacrifice the democratic
party, democratic principles, the
state and local ticket, in order to
get its little "rake off, from the
sheriffs office. Who are you,
any way? Where are your poll

is, presumes to speak for the pop
ulist party and promises to deliver
it over, body and soul, to the lit
tie combination of office holders
and petty politicians who com
prise what is lett of the demo
cratic party in Benton county.
This man, who claims to be a pop
ulist thus openly and p7blicly, re-
pudiates the ssimmediate econ
omy'' plank in the populist plat
form by supporting men who are
opposed to that plank. If; he
speaks for the populist party, how
can the people rely upon populist
promises regarding legislative re-
form? The bulk Of the populist
votes, however, will not go to Pete
Rickard. The majority Of popu
lists are honest, sincere and dis
cerning. The transparent trick by
which they. were deprived OF a
chance of voting for populist
candidate for sheriff, will not be
forgotten nor will it be forgiven.

For your Protection.-Catarrh "Cures" or

For your Catarrh "Cures" or
TONES for Catarrh in liquid form to be taken
internally, usually contain either Mercury or
Iodide of Potassa, or both, which are injur-
ious if too long taken. Catarrh is local, not
a blood disease, caused by sudden change to
cold or damp weather. It starts in the nasal
passages, affecting eyes, ears and throat.
Cold in the head causes excessive flow of
mucus, and, if repeatedly neglected, the re-
suits of catarrh will follow; severe pain in
the head, a roaring sound in the ears, bad
breath, and oftentimes an offensive dis
charge. The eremedy should be quick to allay
inflammation and heal the membrane. Ely's
Cream Balm is the acknowledged cure for
these troubles and contains no mercury
ror any injurious drug. Price, so cents.

BOGUS REFORM.

The democratic party has no
candidates for the Legislature.
Rickard and Waters, the candi-
dates for sheriff and clerk on the
democratic ticket, will have no
voice, in the state legislature.
The claim of. the Times that
their election will have something
to do with lowering Of county
salaries by the legislature, is alb
solutely absurd. Were these
candidates sincere in their Ere
tentions of devotion to the lower
salary proposition, they would
not wait for the action of the leg
islature, but they can do as tn :
republican and populist candi-
dates do;> and by paying their
own deputy hire, make the salar-
les what they virtually admit they
should be.
The Times says ''that Rickard
and Waters are ready and bound
to accept the situation just as
soon as the legisla tive pruning
knife can be applied" tits very
likely. No one presumes that
these gentlemen claim the right
to veto legislative enactments.
The acts of the legislature will
bind them whether they are will
ing or not, as it will all of the
officers elected, no matter what
their name or politics. Rickard
and Waters say they will ac-
quiesce gracefully, and the Times
asks, 'sis not this true refor1n?"
It is pure bosh.
It is almost certain that the
Legislature will not reduce the
salaries of officers in office. Such
policy is never deemed equitable
and its legality is questionable.
The democratic proposition hangs
upon a doubtful eif.'' The re-
publican and populist candidates
contract that, the desired economy
shall begin from their first day
In office There is no doubtful
contingency here; no ''ifs" and
"buts.', They will be as much
bound by the future action of the
legislature as Rickard and Wat
tiers, and in the meantime they
will pay their own deputy hire
and thus inaugurate present real
and needed reform.
The Times is kaleidoscope in
its efforts to meet the business
proposition of the campaign. 1t
is offering all sorts of objections
to the republican and populist
plan, and presents hi1nsy make
shifts in lieu thereof. The facts
are clear, however, and the issue
plain. Republican and populist
candidats will pay for deputy hire
out of their salaries. The Times
candidates refuse to do so. Is
not this true reform? Is it not a
businesslike method compared to
the bogus plan proposed and en-
dorsed by the Corvallis Times.

DECEIT EXPOSED.

DECEIT EXPOSED.
Under the above caption, the
Times of Saturday reprints a
very good article from the Cor
Wallis GAZETTE of May Is, 1895,
concerning deputy hire. At
that time a petition was present
ed to the county court, of which
Peter Rickard was a part, ask
ing for an abolishment of the
payment of deputy hire. The
GAZETTE took a stand against
the granting of the prayer of
the petition. The Times thinks
that we are hypocritical.
Our present position is per
fectly consistent with our atti-
tude at that time. The present
officers did not promise nor ex-
pect to pay for their deputy hire
when elected. They were elect!
ed with a tacit understanding on
the part of themselves and. the
people that they should draw
their salaries and the. county
should make proper allowance
for deputy hire. .:>'
The deputy allowances, at the
time the petition was presented
were no more than reasonable.
The GAZETTE at the. time said:
eff the theory of the petitioners
was right, deputy hire should
have been dispensed with alto
gether. If the deputies are nee
fessary the old allowances were
no more than reasonable. There
is no middle ground" What is
there hypocritical i'll that state
ment? :@~ .
Again, we said: "The coun-
| ty court seems to invite legal
contest to decide the rights of
county officers. - The facts are
the officers did threaten to sue
the county and would have done
so had not their, demands been
complied with to great extent.
They had not agreed to the re-
1>duction.
The Times said absolutely
nothing concerning this matter.
1t was too cowardly. Our posi-
ton was and is that even office
holders have their rights and
these rights must be respected.
It does not need a magnifying
glass nor x-rays to discover the
position of this paper on public
matters. It is ready at any time
to sacrifice policy for indepen-
dellce and truth.
The GAZETTE is not running
for Office. 1t is supporting the
candidates on the republican
ticket and is urging their cleo
tion on the plea Of economy, as
well as On account of their un-
questioned ability. They agree
to pay for their own deputy hire
out .of their own pockets. They
certainly have a right to. do this
and the people have a right to
regard this saving in the selec-
ton of their officials. It is a
business proposition. The dem
ocratic candidates do not pro-
pose to hire their own deputies
and if elected the court will have
no right to require them to fur
nish deputies at their own ex-
pense.
Because Peter Rickard was
weak and cowardly and tried. to
evade responsibility while COM
missioner of this county, we can
not therefore conclude that he
will exhibit any great bashful-
ness in demanding all the money
that he can possibly get from the
county. The publication of that
article exposed Pete Rickard, not
the GAZETTE.
