This concrete illustration, unlorntut ing rather than overstating the workings of Pingleyism, dhows how absurdly mis leading are statistics of our per capita taxation. In this single case, to get the actual taxation resulting from nominal taxation of $100,000 the nominal figure m tint be multiplied by forty-one! N. Y. World.

The fact that the steamer Riimona is now doing a satisfactory and rapidly in creasing businem between Portland and this city, after having been obliged to give up their route some time ago on account of its inability to complete with the KiiHt Side car line, should at this time lie quite a pointer to the management of thnt road as it shows that the people of Oregon City are realiz ing that the E. 8. R. R. Co. are not treating the taxpayers of this city tight in withholding payment of the sireet assessment for over three years. There is a limit to the people's patience and it has about been reached in this case, as is shown by the fact that every burliness man in Oregon City with two exceptions signed a petition unking that said com puny proceed to settle with the city ut once or suffer the consequence of what would mean a boycot If Messrs. Steele think the people will travel by their line because it is live or ten minutes faster (although much more dangerous) they are badly mistaken. The city authorities have asked the reciever of the company to make the city's claim a preferred one and allow interest and will permit him to pay same in install ments, which is quite liberal on the part of the city authorities as they could col lect interest if same was settled in court. The city could if it wished place a tax on each car an 1 license its motormen and conductors, force company to lay improved rails, and it is believed by niany,coud declare the franchise void.

Good for a year's war without levying an extra penny. Trudy, as none other power in Europe, sbo sleeps on her arms. With the silver products of the world steadily increasing and the rise of silver as money constantly growing less, it would be interesting to know what be comes of all the metal the mines are turn ing out. Undoubtedly more and more silver is getting into general use in various forms, but there is no evidence of an increase in the use of silver pro pot tionato to the increase in supplies. Scrofiilajwelling On the Neck and Creat Weakness Caused by Impure Blood -Was Constantly Crowing Worse. " Wben my son was 6 year old ba war in very poor health and we could get nothing to relieve him. At the age of 7 years he began to complain ot soreness on both sides ot his neck and soon lamps be gan to gather on one side and grew to halt the size of an egg. We then became more uneasy and began to doctor him for acrofula. He gradually grew worse, how ever, until at the age of twelve years we had lost all hope of his recovery. He be came so weak he could alt np but a few minutes at a time. My wife, saw Hood's Sarsaparllla recommended as a great blood puritter and we sent and got bottle. We began giving our boy the medicine ac cording to directions and It was not long belore we saw he was improving. He continued Uklng it until he was In very good health. He is now 13 years old and is well. We recommend Hood's Sarsapa rllla tor all troubles caused by impure blood." 8. M. Silver, GrouBe, Oregon. Hood's Sarsaparllla U aold by all druggists.

One of the incidental disadvantages of a high protective policy is the fact that every country whose products are sub jected to increased exactions imagines that we are inspired with a special and rancorous hostility to itself. It is peculiarly important to us to cultivate cordial relations with our ncighWs in Canada and Mexico. After eighteen years of a jealous, anti-American govern ment, whosechief object was to suppress ' the continental idea and turn the eyes of the people away fiom the United States toward England, tlio Canadians last year put in power a party inspired by friendly sentiments toward this country and anxious to cultivate closer relations with us. The rebuff ad ministered by the Dingley tariff bill is taken as aimed particularly at Canada, and our only friends in the Dominion are now prcparir.g to retaliate upon us and give to ltritish trade the advantages they were anxious to give to us. Mexico, under the rule of the greatest statesman now in public life, has been consistently friendly to us, but she too thinks the Dingley bill an especial attack upon her and is making ready to recent it in the most effective way. France and Germany, although high protective countries themselves, both read hostility in the Dingley schedules, and each is preparing to meet blows with blows. Curiously enough, England, the one country that is always singled out by name as the typical foreign enemy to be guarded against by our tariff-makers, is the only one that seems able to realize the actual situation. Englishmen understand that it is not hostility to any foreign country, but a desirj to tap the pocket of the Ameri can consumer, that is the real inspiration of the Dingley raid. Hence they treat the subject philosophically, while Can adians, Mexicans, Frenchmen and Germans fume and threaten revenge. It is unpleasant, though, to have our relations with so many naturally friendly countries embittered to enhance the profits of the trusts. Tim Providence Journal, a capable and conservative authority, estimates that the "20 million dollars which the Dingley tariff bill is expected to raise for the government will cost the people 1.J00 million dollars in advanced prices. This is a high rate to pay for money to run the government. Six dollars und a half for one is more than pawnbrokers extort, and a tux system that works such a result is without reason or excuse APPLICATION FOR LICENSE.

Under irt'Htnt conditions 10,000,1.00 yurln of a certain quality of woollen cloth are hoKI at $1 ayaid in this country. Part of this, nay half, is uiiinuftioturod hero, the rent in imported. Dingleyistn enacts a duty of $1 a yard on this cloth. The importation drops to 100,000 yards, on which the government guts a revenue of $100,000. The price of the imported cloth of course lecomea $'3 a yard. The price of the ilotnoHtic cloth goea up "as high as the market will lear." Suppose that 8,000,000 yards of it are sold at 1J0 a yard. What is the net result of j lingleyitni in this case? The government geU $100,000. The consumer pays $1 a yard on 100,- WWyards $'.00,000. The consumer pays 50 cents a yard on 8,000,000 yards $4,000,000. To collect $100,000 the government has taxed tlie consumer $4,100,000. And taken out of the pockets of tlie people?

If great buving if having large lots of shoes made if the im petus of this great shoe business helps to make prices abnormally small--then we have shoe bargains. These causes and readjust ments of our stocks, as sizes become missing, brinz all the shoe bargains we ever have, "liargains Shoes' don't exist otherwise. For shoes "made to sell," for shoe trash of any kind, we ve no room. I Not How High But how low can we make the price, is the question we ask ourselves when marking our goods for sale. That's what makes ours an ever-panding business, it's a potent advertiser; it tells the story through the purse in thousands of homes, only to be retold in countless others by appreciative money savers.
