rtion.
So lvng as there was full and free
competition in our own country it
mattered little how excessive the du-
| ties were, because the rivalry among
domestic producers could be depend

| seriously concern ourselves about a
scientific adjustment of the tariff
Our manufacturers were protected
| against competition from abroad, and
| our consumers were protected by the
natural laws Of business at home. If
the duties were higher than they
should have been, and undoubtedly
they were in many instances, there
was no complaint for no injury re-
| suited to the great body of the peo-
pie who bought and used dutiable
I commodities.
AS time passed on, however. there
| appeared n new factor in the indus
! trial and commercial life Of the
/ United States, and the era of consoli-
! datiOn and monopoly began. With a
/ rapidity that even now it is hard to
/ comprehend, business of all kinds
rushed into close union, and scattered
! capital was drawn into the strong en-
4 brace Of trusts and cancellations
Safe from the competition of other
countries, it became the chief object
of our manufacturers to destroy COM
petition in their own country. They
accomplished their purpose so effectu-

important field of production prices
ceased to be the result of the time
honored laws Of trade, and the power
Of determining profits fell into the
hands either of a monopoly or an ac-
knowledged master in protected In
dustry.
Then came q demand for revision
Of the tariff. It originated in the
necessities of the people, and was
founded upon the fundamental in
stlnct Of justice. Deprived of the safe
guards which competition at home
had furnished them, the people knew
without reasoning upon it, that they
had a right to an intelligent readjust.
ment of he tariff. They felt the du.
ties should be so modified that the
constituted insistence upon unfaii
prices would expose our manufacture
ers to the correction of foreign com.
petition.
In this demand there was no dis
loyalty to the doctrine or protection
although for a short period the bene'
ficiaries of excessive duties succeeded
in confusing the issue.

voters Of the country know that there
is infinitely more hope Of making the

sive than there is Of efficient and

Concerning Democrats.
There are many democrats who are
distinguished for their wise and broad
views upon public affairs but the
large majority Of the leaders Of the
democratic party are incapable OF
making or administering laws for q
country like ours, for they invariably
find in the constitution an insuperable
obstacle in the way Of doing the things
which are imperatiyely demanded
and which If done at all must be done
by the general government.

commit the destiny Of the country TO
the democratic party, and there is less
reason now for doing so than ever be-
fore.
So long as look upon the consti-
tuition as a command to look after the
welfare Of the people. rather than a
mere injunction against invading the
rights of the states, there will be an
impossible gulf between the demo-
cratic party and myself.
The character of the problems
which now hold the first place in the
American mind makes the republican
view Of the constitution vital to the
common good. I admit that the diff
ferences between republicans are
many and that they are important; but
any republican who. by reason of
these differences votes for a demo-
cratic candidate, will find that he has
jumped from the frying pan into the
fire.

I reiterate what l have always said
in every campaign during the stormy
decade in which have been in public
office. We will fight with all the
strength that is in US before the nomi-
nations are made, but when they are
made in the appointed way we will
stand shoulder to shoulder ror the re-
publican candidates, and in this spirit
! appeal to every republican in the
state to give his voice and his vote

whether national or state
East Oregonian : E.O. (Pendleton, OR) 1888-current, 1910-08-03

With these preliminary Observa-
tons, I proceed TO the consideration
Of the definite principles which touch
our party faith and which make UP
our party history. The policy of tax
ing imports, not only for revenue but
for protection to domestic producers,
established in the very beginning by
Alexander Hamilton, adopted by the
wings, and inherited by the republi-
can party has beyond dispute helped
to make the United States the mghti-
est nation in the world.
There Is not a republican anywhere
who does not yield 10 the protective
system unreserved and unwavering al
legiance. Aldrich. Lodge, Hale, Can
non. Payne and Dalzell may be its
sincere and earnest advocates, but in
zeal for its perpetuation, and in the
eloquence Of it's defense they cannot
surpass Nelson Clapp, Beveridge. La
Toilette, Dolliver and Bristow.
There has been no controversy. and
there can be none. between republi-
cans as TO the soundness or value OF
this doctrine. The divergence appears
when we come to apply it to inter
national trade, and to a consideration
of that divergence I now ask your

The story of THE Alaskan" which
comes to the Park opera house to-
night, the big company arriving to-
day from Pueblo, is somewhat unique
in the fact that it really possesses a
plot to be followed, and a heart story
that rings true while the opportuni-
ties for local color. are unlimited.
Combining these three it would
appear that this comic opera well
deserves that success that has come
to 1t for how seldom in the musical
comedy of the present day can there
be found more than a single thread
upon which to hang a series of tunes
and melodies.
The story tells how Peter Harrison
goes to Alaska in the first rush of
prospecting. He discovers rich ground
in an unknown district near-the
Tanana river where mining viii be
impossible until large ditch has
been constructed to bring the water
considerable distance. Harrison
locates the water right, and proceeds
to the coast in search of partner
who can help him build the ditch.
His money running out. he takes up
the trade of packer as temporary
business ana becomes KNOWN us lb-
tenn Pole Pete, because of his unusual
height. While acting as a guide he
takes contract to transport one
Richard Atwater, who has been grub
staked by Boston capitalist into the
interior. Atwater has surveyor s
transit in his freight. Attracted by
that Totem makes inquiries of At
water and finds out that he is sur
veyor. Totem then decides that he
will show Atwater the rich ground
on the Tanan. and after getting him
there will offer him the water rights
| If he will build the ditch.
Atwater readily consents to go to
this secret place but en- the way there

make this camp in an Indian village
while Atwater prospects the neigh
boring streams and discovers gold.
In spite of Totem's urgings that they
push on to the secret Eldorado, At
water insists on remaining for the
season and working the find he has
made.
Totem il forced to accept the posi-
tion as foreman of this find, rather
than lose the chance of getting At
water to build his ditch later on. The
play opens on a cleanup day at At
waters claim. The miners have
heard rumors of a great discovery in
the Tanana country and are about to
leave Atwater, when Totem makes
himself known to them as Harrison,
,1snd persuades them to finish the
cleaning up before stampeding.
Meanwhile the capitalist who grub
staked Atwster has died. His daugh-
ter has inherited the grub-stake con-
tract. Receiving no reply to her let
tiers to Atwater she determines to
visit Alaska on her own account This
Iis not so much on account of the mine
of which she owns her half, but be-
cause of an old dream of her faith
er's. that some day that she and At
water would make match. Arlee is
chaperoned by Mrs. Good Better Best
and they go to Alaska under the pro-
lection of Professor Knicklebein in
search of a lost ingredient for his
laughing powder.
During the clean up band OF
strolling players reaches the Atwater
mine, for the purpose of giving a per-
formance. Totem is in no mood for
this and being without resources the
players are forced by him to don
miners clothes and go to work.

When they first arrived in New

very first sight that met their eyes,
when taking in the city was a glib
auctioneer selling Grand valley ap-
pies, which Mr.. Mantey says brought
at auction $1.55 per box.
From New Orleans they went to
Miami and Jacksonville, Florida, and
from there to Cuba. They spent six
days in Cuba and were much pleased
with that beautiful island
Several years ago Mr.. Mantey took
trip with MIR. j. NJ. Sampliner to
the Hawaiian islands and spent sew

one that he has Just concluded has
whetted his appetite and, while he
did not say so positively this morn
