PROTECTION.


difficult one to settle so that It will
stay. Dingley, Mckinley and Co.,
are having about as much trouble at
framing tariff bill to suit all who
wish to be protected, as Wilson and
Grover had. And it is not likely to
be much more satisfactory when COM
pleted.
| suppose that it is somewhat diff
cult to please every one. When there
are campaign debts to pay, that by
agreement are to be paid by the
whole people in the shape of tariff
taxes, it makes a very complicated
matter to manage. Every industry
that is protected must Of necessity
draw its support from the people !;
hence it trenches to a greater or less
extent upon other industries that are
clamoring for protection. To frame a
tariff bill that will give each monopoly,
trust and combine a fair share of
profit over and above the increase OF
expenses arising from the others pro-
lection, is a matter that requires con-
siderable financial skill. Our legisla-
tors do not seem to be possessed of
financial skill in a very eminent
degree.
If We had statesmen at the helm,
who were elected on their merits, and
did not have to buy their position
with money or other corrupt means,
they would have far less difficulty in
framing tariff bill, or in legislating
upon any other subject. 1t ought not
and think would not be very diff
cult to decide upon a tariff bill thar
would yield the greatest amount of
revenue with the least burden to the
people. And that is the only honest
legitimate tariff that can be made.
The very fact that our people cannot
all be protected, is in itself sufficient
evidence that none should be thus
protected.
Mckinley has always tried to pro-
pagate the idea that it was the for.
eisn importer who paid the duties,
and that it did not increase the ex.
penses of our own people. In one of
the campaign speeches he made the
remark, that he was opposed to tax
ing our own people while We bad an
opportunity to collect taxes of others.
Whether Mckinley is verdant
enough to believe that theory, or dis
honest enough to talk that way
though he does not believe it for the
purpose Of deceiving others, is a
question that l shall leave for his ad.
mirers to decide. l am not anxious
as to what their decision shall be.
But in either case he is unfit for the
position which he occupies.
Perhaps some were led to vote for
Mckinley on account of his sound
money doctrine. If so they can now
see, that protection is his hobby, and
that It will take precedence to any
thing else. Mckinley was born at
a time when our infant industries
were clamoring loudly tor protection.
HIS people were engaged in a bust.
ness that called for protection. 1t is
no wonder if he thinks of nothing
else when awake, and talks about it
when asleep.
II his memory was as good in other
matters, as it seems to be in regard to
his love for protection, he would re-
member that his theories have been

promptly made known. The voter
should have the assurance that no
packing of the ballot boxes and fraudu-
lent counting will be permitted but
that everything about the election win
be conducted openly and with fair
ness. 1t has been our effort, in con-
nection with this system, to recon-.
mend such rules which will afford
every safeguard TO the voters rights,
as well as the proper protection to
candidates, to the end that honesty
may prevail in the holding Of primary
elections. There will be no sinister
motive for the splicing up and multi
pllcity Of election districts, at the
public expense, to afford increased
representation in our party convention.
We believe that nominations made
under these Rules will invite the res
pect of the whole party, and merit the
undivided Democratic vote at the
general election. While conscious
that We have recommended a depart
ure in the system of making party
nominations in this county, we feel
confident that the system and rules

faithful and honest execution of their
provisions, prove to be OF public

TRIED AND Nor FOUND WANTING
California has woman engineer, Mrs.
Annie Shanivan, who runs the motive
power of large planning mill at Noun
tain Home, in Tulare county, better
than the service had ever been per-
formed by men. There is another no.
table difference. She does not wear a
greasy Jumper" nor is her face black
and grimy. She is always attired in
neat-fitting clothes of pretty colors,
and her face and hands are as clean rs
they would be if she was engaged in
ordinary household duties. Her en-
gine.room is neat as any kitchen in the
land. Oregon has woman who
holds license as pilot and is one of
the most skillful commanders of steam
craft on the Willamette or Columbia
rivers, who was once an Olympia girl,
where she will be remembered by her
maiden name of Minnie Mossman.
Both of these women assumed these
masculine employments to aid their
husbands in emergencies, and were so
successful and formed such liking
for the work, that they adopted them
as life employment from choice.

+" Tell the Truth"

Outside of Olympia, the press of the
State is almost unit in support of the
Governors veto of the capital appropri-
alton. And the people appear to stand
with the newspapers and the Governor.
Their taxes are quite heavy enough now,
and they have no ambition that calls for
costly edifice to house the gentlemen
whom they send to Olympia to make
and mend laws.-CoJdr Commoner.
The statement that the press is i" al
most unit in support OF the Cover
nor" is as untrue as that venerable
old lie that the cost of q statehouse,
under any legislation that has ever
been enacted would add a single dollar
to the burden of taxation. The ex-
pressions of many of the leading pa
pers published in last weeks and this
issue of the STANDARD, shows how
much of a cunt" the press is in sup
port of his accidency, and the other
point is refuted by a no less authority
than the Supreme Court of the State,
which declared that under the capitol
construction law the State could not
be held for a dollar outside of the fund
created by the land grant. The late
bill, vetoed by his accidency, provided
that guaranteed interest should be
paid out of this fund, and from his ac-
cidency's own admission it would have
placed Immediately in the State treas
ury enough money to pay the interest
for twenty-five years.

A CASE has been instituted at Ritz
vile against the Assessor of Adams
county to test the validity of the new
revenue law. The action is brought
by D. Buchanan, who alleges that the
exemption of $500 on personally and a
a like amount upon realty improve
ments, is unconstitutional. The plain
tiff bases his argument on the point
that this is class legislation against
the rich, in favor OF the poor, and
therefore wholly beyond the grant OF
power to the law.making authority.
This is about the first instance on rec
ord that "class legislation has favored
the poor man, and capital at once re-
sists the attempt to curtail its prerog-
alive of being the favored class. The
case, which ever way it is decided, will
80 to the Supreme Court. A test
should be made, at the same time as
to the right to confiscate the property
of the poor man without adequate re.
demptionary relief.

Mayoralty election which took place
in Chicago on the 9th inst. resulted
in an overwhelming majority for Car
ter II. Harrison, the Democratic NOM
inee. He received more votes than all
other candidates combined. The DEM
ocrats elected, likewise, 26 out of the
81 Alderman, and three of the minor
ity are Democrats who were placed on
the ticket by petition. Carriers ma
jority will probably be close on to
100000. In the last Mayoralty cleo
ton, the Democratic candidate was
beaten by 10000, and the vote of the
city in the Presidential contest stood
2OO,747 for Mckinley against IA 1856
for Bryan.

IT is difficult at times to discover
the actuating motive of that marked
instance of profundity, the Pr. 1t
now persistently uses the prefix " Mr."

while the official designation is freely
accorded to Representative Jones, and
even Doolittle receives the handle of

noted for the intracacies of its mental

Mr.. Bridges has likewise discovered
the Illegal appropriation OF school
lands III Whitman and Spokane coun-
tie. One oi the school sections living
contiguous t" Spokane city was plat
ted into town lots upon which several
hundred iamilie, have built homes
and reside, paying rent to men who

same thing has been done at Tacoma.
Mr.. Bridges has discovered another
class OF trespasscrs who enter upon
school land, pillow it up and make
preparations for crop. They then
sell out their Improvements with
bonus for title which has literally no
ground for basis. Other OCCUPANTS
OF agricultural lands are paying rem
tai to bogus claimants, who file an app
plicatlon to purchase, make one
tenth cash payment, begin Il system of
farm improvements, let the contract
lapse, then lease the farm and pocket
the rental. Though such trickstcr
has allowed the land to be forfeited to
the State he still appropriatcs the rent
and profits.
The Land Commissioner proposes
soon to make a trip through the East
ern part OF the State to collect data in
detail and advertise all school lands
for lease to the best bidder. This, it
is thought, will result in the school
fund receiving the moneys which be-
long to it.

The editor of the STANDARD did not
ride on a "free pass" or any other
kind of "pass" to Ellensburg, but on
a paid ticket. 1t is not surprising
that his accidency should have sug-

horrors of the nightmare which the
use of pass in contravention of the
