WOuIQ nave Oeen less lavish III It's
praise OF the beauties of a protective
policy.
The lamb and the lion have been
known to lay down together, but that
| does not apply to Joe Simon and John
81. Mitchell. There never can be Il
reconciliation between those two. So
long as they pose as republican leaders
there can be no love feast in the party
Hawaii is knocking at the door of
the Union for admission, even having
sent her president here to intercede
with the government at Washington.
A country,so anxious to be adopted
| and possessing so many commendablt
qualities should not longer be refused
admission to the sisJerhood of states
Congress should no longer refuse the
plea of Hawaii.
Senator Wolcott took up an hour
| and a half in the senate the other day
expl lining why the international BIZ
| metallic commission failed to accom-
plish anything in Europe. Almost
any school boy could have explained
the whole matter in the simple state
ment that it was because the European
money lenders didn't want it,
A little more than a year ago we
heard considerable about Opening the
| mills instead of the mints if ''confi-
dence were restored" But recent oc-
! currences in the New England states
| indicate that neither the mills nor the
mints are to remain open. The latter
have been closed for some time, and
| now about all the cotton mills in the
| country are closed because the oper-
ators cannot afford to pay living wages
under the system of protection and
gold standard.
Ten coal mining companies in Ill
inois have beenin iicted for conspiring
to oefraud. This offense was in raising
the price of coal so cents ton on the
| pretext that it was necessary on ac-
count of a raise in the wages of the
miners which amounted to II cts. ton.
They only wanted 423 cts. profit for
| an outlay of Il cents. Their scheme
was something like the workings of
protective tariff when applied to the
laborer and the manufacturer. 1t was
all on the side of the employer.
Squirt advertising, like short wind
+,
well move your store every three
months as to do squirt advertising.
People may not need just what you
sell now, but they will sooner or later.
and when they do want it if they don't
find your ad where they first saw it,
they will naturally conclude you have
quit business. What scotsman is to
your business, just so is your ad. Each
sells your goods, and you cannot pros
per without both.
Hon. W. S. Uren, the would. popu-
list leader, was in Baker City the other
day and sought the Republican as
medium through which to vent his
views. He insisted that the reason
,populists refused to form a union with
the democrats was that their leaders
(meaning himself and Mr.. Young)
had been abused by the democrats.
This is indeed ''weighty" reason es-
pscially since these self-styled leaders
are catching it harder from their own
partisans than anybody else.
By the bureau of statistics we are
told that there were 100000 pounds
more wool imported during December
1897. under the Dingley tariff of IL
cents duty. than there wac in De-
cember, 1895, under the Wilson free
wool tariff. How does this operate in
keeping the home market for the
American wool grower? 1t may help
his price, but his neighbor who pro-
duces no wool, but wears wooden
clothing also finds the price of the
wOolens he wears considerably in |
creased.
Despite the fact that all late reports
coming from the Klondike region are
to the effect that there is no danger of !
suffering for want of food in the |
Alaska mines, the war department |
seems determined to send in a relief |
expedition and will start it from Port
land on February 1st. The 100000
appropriated by congress for this ex-
peditiou must be expended whether it
is needed Or not. Secretary Alger is
not the kind of man to stop the ex-
pedition SO long as there is money in
in sight to spend.
In another column is published a
code of principles and appeal to the
people put forth by lodge of Patriots
OF America recently organized at
Mos ar. There are some good ideas
therein, however coming
from a secret political organization,
which the order of Patriots OF America
purports to be, it can have but little
weight with the masses, for there is a
distrust for all secret organizations
that undertake to dictate to elections
or parties. Politics in q republican
form of government should be open
and above board and not conducted
by lodges.
1t would be funny for the democrats
Of oregon to be so hopelessly at sea as
20 nominate populist for governor.
And yet, they may, and may nominate
he chairman of the populist state COM
Pendleton Tribune.-Never.
i Chairman Young ever becomes a
.andite for governor of Oregon, he
will be put up as the tool of the eIe-
nent which the Pendleton 'ribune
epresents. The democrats may NOM
nate or endorse populist for govern
r, but it will not be ]. C. Young, or
ny other man who is working into the
ands of the gold republicans.
There are still large number of the
ouvenir editions of the Times-Moun-
aineer in this Office, and as it is a
ood advertisement for Wasc1 and
herman counties. it should be scat
sred broadcast throughout the East.
