I'.ITH IMZK IIOMK IMM74TKV. OREGON OITY, MARCH 12, 1897. 0 tlio 1-Hh, congress, in cxtrii h'ioii, will U'k'iii tuiiiporin with tariff to restore prosperity. v Beg-the Mil. Skai lis, one of the putentuti of the sugar triict, is in partnership will Satan six days of the week, and devoutly nt'cnds cli urcli on Snmlay. Wiikiik is that prosperity, President McKinley, you promised tho American people- in your speeches revised hy Mark Ilnnna? Were, you faking? Trr-rna Palmer, tho '0 00,000 Chi cago hotel owner, gave $2i.O to feed the thotiHandH of his starving fellow citizens. That is hut u part of t he profit of his barroom for one day. Lyman J. (luge, the new secretary of the treiiHiiry, I nn iiiiiuvliist, from tho republican oint of vi w. Hi; wrote a -jiorsontil letter to Governor Altuuld rc qics'.ing him to i moil tho Chicago i naruhit-ts. On inaugural iliiy in one of the Sa'era schools the teacher took occAii'Oi in tho attention to ask the scholars: "VVIioIh President of tin United State?" A littlo white-headed boy spoke up : "Mark Uanns." Journal. Tiik Oregonian frankly admits that if political corruption is not stayed, the state of Oregon will go to the devil. It does not seem to admire the "grand iJ jmrry." Tho present situation is the lexical outcome of the rottenness of the republican paity. Sherman Buford is ill with the same ailment that caused death of Ed. Shea, his roommate, and on advice of three physicians the place was quarantined and a black flat; put up on Wednesday, which was afterwards taken down as throe other doctors say his disease was not diphtheria. "None so blind us those who will not see." Uoodlor Hanna was a republican blunder, but Senator Hanna is a greater blunder. The midille class of the Amer ican people is as sound in principle as it ever was and is increasing In political knowledge. Its patience is not infinite The American patrician class by its shiimelossness is hut hurrying the day whon it will be ground to powder. Tim New York World has -polled by telegraph tho Pemocralic regular orgn izationsin all tlipstatesonthis ques'ion If the Democratic National Convention met to-morrow would William .1. Bryan again ho chosen as the democatic candidate for president ? The result is an extraordinary concensus of opinion showing, with hardly an exception, that tho democratic organizations every where, as well as the democratic national committee, are us devoted to Mr. Bryan as ever. A m tjnrity of them believe that he will not only be nomi nated but elected in II)' 0. The Vancouve r Labor Exchange has r eceived its labor checks, and some of its members will make coffins ; a branch in Indiana makes baking powder; another at Kent,, Wash., will engage in fruit evaporation, and the one at Frutia. Oal., in cunning fruit; the branch at Salina, Kan., makes electric belts; the branch at New Philadelphia operates a coal mine; the branch at Haverhill, Mass., makes shoes ami the branch at Erie, Pa., which makes brooms, hits Just taken an invoice and finds that it has $1.35 back of every dollar's worth of chec k s out. 1 kkhidekt aicKinley's inaugural a, dress is adroitly constructed and reads well. Portions of it are platitudinous. One can discern the motives of the vet eran politician lietween the lines. Ho must lie given credit witli making some declarations, as thoso against trusts, which thu country at large, irrespective of party, will heartily endorse. On tho tariff question he is a monomaniac, if sincere. Ho ignores that tho money uncut inn, ami not tho tariff, was tho paramount issue in the presidential cam paign, and has the hardihood to say that hy its results the people declared un equivocally for a protective tariff. Plainly Mr. McKinley bubbles stullilo (pence. His allusion to "free and fair elections" is comical when we call to mind how much Hanna and his boodle contributed to make them just the re verso. If they had I wen free and fair in the dense centres of population of the Kust, where the hungry and WHERE WEALTH IS GOING. A writer in the "Arena" sees "blood revolution" and "anarchy and war" coming upon the country from the eon-cer-lrationof wealth in theUnitedStatvs, and he goes into elaborate figures to show that such a concent ration is taki ng place. By an examination of the mor tality returns and probate returns in Mmsailiueltsfor 1811K11. 1879-81 lieges tig u res showing that in the limt period the number of persons dying without property was 01 81 percent of the who le, in ttie seconi period mi per cent, and in the third period O'J per cent. In the 'hhiiio lime the person dying with over a half million dollars increased I from ,'HU tier cent in the first to Oil per i! nt Hud .08 per cent in the lust two periods. The figures he quotes show beyond Jotilit that the rich are geltlngrichfir.b nn closer examination they show that the poor are getting richer too. 'I he class in which the strength of free nations is found N the middle class. This c'shm iimv bp taken as that owning from one thousand dollurt to one hundred thousand dollars. The figures from the p'obate lists for the three period are as follows; 1S80-.H Avcrnue CIhmm Person Wealth $iinio to 'oon 1274 f.';t7:i fiOOOfo K0 4i2 1180(1 '.J.jiHO lolllPOiHJ 07 41KI74 IfttO-01 lOi'O 10 :i0C0 2S27 $2t03 fiiKNMo 2o00) 1.104 JOIHo M0IK) tollMO H.' 200 47112 187081.

Il will be noi that ir..ni IS.;') to ISliO the population increased by 101 percent. in I lie same period the iirt class (from lO'iO to 01)00 dollars) increase. by 122 per cent, nearly; the second clasHf (rum five thousand dollars to twen ty-five IhmHaml dollars) increased by over 188 per cent, and the third class (from twenty. fivtlhou-and dollars toon" hundred thousand dollar-) by 2S8 p cent. The increase for the three classes which together may be taken as the middle class was from 1,793 to4,391 or ovpr Ho per cent 1 he increase of population from I860 to J880 whs 45 per cent. In the same lime the first class increased from 2.827 to 4 588, or 02 per cent ; the second class from !,.I04 to 2.444, or 84 per cent ; and the third class (mm 200 to 028, orovir 241 per cent, 1 lie total increase of the middle class from 1800 to 1800 according to the probate returns, was over 174 per cent. It is therefore plain on the evidence of figures collected to prove the decadence of the nation that the middle ciass is increasing very much moie rapidly than I he population. As the very rich are Increasing at a still more rapid rate, in nmnders as well as prop erty, it 1b clear that the increase of the middle class must be drawn from the poor class. An examination of English statistics by Mr. W. II. Mallock hIiows much the same tendency in that country. The middle class there is growirg much more rapidly than the population but is apparently being recruited from the rich as well as from the Door. There is Htirely no catHu In despair of the republic on such figures as there. Now Is the Time To purify your blood with Hood's Sursuparilla. March, April, May are tho trying months of the year.
