HON. GEORGE c. BRowNELL

II should be remembered by every citi-
zen OF Oregon interested in fair play and
who wants to see the principles Of common
honesty and decency prevail in public
matters Affecting the dignity and stand
ing Of his state abroad that on the last
day OF the debate on the admission of II.
W. corbett to seat in the United States
senate. Senator Burrows announced in
open senate that he had letter from
Hon. George c. Brownell. Of oregon. in
which the statement was made ''that Sen
ator Mitchell. the caucus nominee, salts
fed that he could not be elected. had
named in writing number OF republicans
whom he would cheerfully support.
Among these were Hon. George II. VIII
llans. Hon. Binger Hermann. Hon. E. b.
Watson. Hon. F. A. Moore. and others"
BrowneIl said in this letter that to his
certain knowledge ex-senator Mitchell
in communication to the presiding officer
Of the house OF representatives. had said
that ne would support any Of these
whom he named. and received in reply
statement that the house would support
no other than Henry W. Corbett." A
combination for the election Of Corbett
was made evident. Burrows thought. by
the reply received by Senator Mitchell TO
his proposition, and he believed it was
held together by the cohesive power Of
the unlimited use Of money. II this
scheme should be ratified by the senate
It would be within the power Of the Il
elected members Of the oregon legislature
to thwart the purpose Of the 70 other
members Burrows did not believe the
senate would approve by its action the
conference OF such authority upon a small
majority.
1t will also be remembered that no rep
resentatiye OF the state of oregon in the
United States senate or elsewhere within
the sound of Senator Burrows voice at
that time or since has performed the duty
OF rising to denounce this statement OF
Brownell as a monstrous, deliberate lie,
fabricated for the express purpose Of in
huencing and misleading at a critical
juncture the august consideration ana
determination by the United States SEN
ate OF a momentous constitutional ques
ton Affecting the rights and interests of
the whole people of the United States, and
one which will have an important bear
ing as a precedent in future decisions in
volving the public welfare of coming gem
erations of American citizens. 1t will be
further recalled that the United States
senate was induced, largely, no doubt,
through the influence of this lie and the
failure OF oregon's representatives then
present to deny it, to vote against the
question Of constitutional right and lib
erty raised by the application of Mr. Cor

The New England cotton mills are at
last beginning to feel the long predicted
competition of the cotton manufacturing
ind ustry of the South. The advantages
of the Southern mills are cheap fuel,
cheap labor, saving in freights, and long
er hours In the southern mills opera
tives work from a. m. to p m, as did
the operatives of lancashire in England
years ago at the beginning of this century
and before the rise of the labor organiza
tons Coal is abundant in the manufac-
turing sections of the South and the mills
are located in the cotton belt. The South
ern operatives are not negroes, as many
suppose, but come from the large class
known as ''poor whites.' who live as no
self respecting New Englander could be
expected to do. The conclusion reached
by those who have investigated this sub
ject is that New England cannot compete
with the South in manufacturing the
cheaper grade of cotton goods; and that
even the reduction of wages initiated by
the Rhode Island manufacturers will not
avail. The movement started in Proyi-
dence has extended to Maine, and notice Of
cut in wages has been given in the mills
of Lewiston, Waterville. Augusta, Bdde-
ford and Brunswick. 1t is understood that
the cut will be ten per cent, the same as
in Rhode Island. The Lewiston mills EN-
ploy 3, 1872 women and girls and ?, 323 men
and boys The monthly pay rolls amount
to l72 00u, aud a ten per cent cut down
wouid mean the loss of over 500, 900
year. The other towns and cities in which
cotton mills are situated will suffer pro
portionately, and the New Year certainly
has not open ed auspiciously for our mill
operatives.
