Last year they were less t 'lan $6,000,000: That is practi cal statesmanship. The Sioux chiefs- who- went to Washington to confer with Presi dent Harrisorrand Secretary Noble are dissatisfied with the results of their visit, and threaten to go on the war-path in the spring. The government should heed the warn ing and teach Uese troublesome chiefs such a lesson that they would never go on the war-path agai n. Henry Wattkbson's letter to Gov. Hifl. may or may not have influenced that gentleman-' in the taking of the senatorship from New York, but there can be no two opinions as to its being about as impatient a document as was ever sent by any maw to another with whom he had not the slightest personal acquaintance. - No won der Hill says- he never received such a letter. Sngland is decidedly uneasy at present over the probabilitv of los ing her trader with Brazil. TTe trade :between Great Britain and Brazil' is very heavy, and the loss will be serious. But their loss will be otrr gain notwithstanding the growl of the free trade men Thus again does the republican party policy come to' the" front in spite-of the kicking of the oppo sition to the MeKinley bill, with its grand reciprocity clause which made such trade accessions pos sible.' It seems thai th -Americans are for America, whether Nbrth or South. Ex; After all the wind and ink wasted the legislature has adjourn ed without making any appropri ation ' for the World's Fair or amending the assessment laws. The wagon road bills - have been- vetoed and the governor's pet measure",- the $400,000 appropria tion for a portage railway at The Dalles and Cellio failed to pass, and 'the railroad commission, fish commission, etc., still live. - Never theless there has been a large amount of work done andKmany meritorious bills passed at this ses sion. Senator Crosno and Repre sentatives Moer andStarr, of this county,: have represented their constituents in' an able manner and - the measures intrusted to them have iared well in their hands. The wheels of the Kansas alli ance are to be greased by cotton seed oil. Yet one of the loud and lone wails of the larmers before the election last- fall was the- adul tration of lard by mixing with cottonseed oil, claimmg that it in jured the sale -of lard, thwlegiti mite product of the hog. But ater the order from 'Polk and the entire southern-alliance, the Kn sis farmer legislature oppose-the Oinger pure lard bill. We note however, that Speaker Elder'tnade a 'masterly speech in favor of life I as- a -protection to the northern farmer, but ' warr xmable to draw them from the obedifenee of their southern cenerals. The bill wa9 a just and'roper measure andvwas . for the benefit of the farmer alone, The Kansas farmer will -long wait I - before he finds thesotrtherrt plant - -er will reciprocate. Globe Repub OUR DOMESTIC TRADE AND HOME MARKET. The following is from' Secretary Wiudom's last speech: . One or two comparisons will convey some idea of our stupend ous internal conJrrierce. The ton nage which passed through the Detroit river alone during the 234 days of navigation in 1889 exceed ed by 2,46S,127 tons the entire British- and foreign tonnage" which entered and cleared? at London and Liverpool that year in the foreign and coastwise trade. The freight which passed through the St. Mary's Falls Canal in 1S90 exceeded by 2,257,876 tons the entire tonnage of all nations which passed through- the Suez Canal in 1889. The freight carried on railroads of the United States in 1890 ex' ceeded by over 36,000,000 tons the aggregate carried on all the railroads of Great Britain, France, Germany and Russia in 1889. Commodities are interchanged among our own people with great er facility and at cheaper rates, distance being considered, than in any other country on earth. The increase of national wealth and prosperity, largely cfiie to this system of protection to our home markets and domestic trade, and to the generous development of these instrihieitalitie3 of com merceihas become " the msFve of the world. Take a few compar isons, based fipott tli United States census of 1880, and upon figures furnished by Mr. .Mulhall, the English? stati'stican. In manufactures we exceed Great Britain in 1880 by $1,579, 570,191. Fiance by $2,115,000,- 000, and Germany by $2305,000,- 000. In products- of agriculture we excelled Great Biitaiw by $1,425,- 000,000, Fiance by $625,000,000, and Germany by $925,000,000. Our earnings or income for 1880 from commerce, agriculture, raili ng, manufactures, the carrying trade and banking exceeded those of Great Britain from the same source by $1,250,000,000-,- Fiance by $2,395,000;000, and Germany y $2,775,000,000. fn 1880 our home markets' con sumed about $10000,000 worth of our own products, an amount eaual to- the- entire accumulated wealth of Spain, three times the ncrSase of wealth in Great Brit aiii for ten years, and seven times the increase of France for the same period. Our home markets that year absorbed ft?e' times-as much of our : manufactured pro ducts as Great Britain" exported of hers to ait' the markets of' the world." If a member of your family was dangerously ill would you call in a farmer to-prescribe? ; If a? piece-; of intricate machinery was out of order would you employ a carpen ter to fix it? If you had a com plicated law suit to- defend would you employ a merchant or',barrker to do it for you? Ot course you would not do any of these obvi ously absurd things, and- yet? otherwise sensible men are nu merous who think it would be wise to follow-the advice of those who have never? had any large financial experience; against that of those who- have devoted them lives to a study of the subject in changing the financial system of the country. It is the most mo- mentens question that nations are catledupon to' decide, and mis step will be followed by untold miserv. anion the poor. Let us go slow in this matter. Post3tster-General Wanama- ker -has either made a mistake, or else lie has an abiding faith in his power to stand the criticism of the thousands of post-msstrrthttragh- out thVland which he has invited them-to'rnake of his annual re port, copies of which he has had sent them. Ori second thought perhaps-Mr. Wanarnrafter has taken" this mtlSbd bf gatheriagatnateria ' fttca bboi on American humor? ROTHSCHILD AND RUSSIA. There is promise of a duel of ducats between Rothchild and the Czar. The banker objects td the Russian" persecution of his" cd-re-ligio'nist, the Russian Jew, arid in asmuch as he can raise or depress the credit of any nation on the continent St will, he proposes to pinch the Muscovite-! The whole world will wish luck to Rothschild. The exile to freer countries ot the millions of Russian Jews implies an industrial disturbance- which is not for the good ot labor or capital. These poor people are Russians in their habits and instincts, which is not against them, but the victims of studied governmental persecu tion are always warped out of shape and don't fit into a normal society. Israelites who have long enjoyed emancipation m this country and England and Southern Europe understood this perfectly, and they prefer that Russia shall be coaxed or forced to treat her Jews rightly, rather than under take to receive and untwist them ... . -i - in tins country or eisewnere. Russia is the greatest borrower amongst the nations, and has the most profligate and unorganized system' of finance. Her immense resources are capable of being tax ed lightly, if intelligently, to pro duce revenues adequate to the cost of the military establishment and the support of all civil functions. But, instead of such intelligent taxation, the people are burdened and the treasury is not benefited, and the borrowing goes oh. This lack of system in the national finance is reflected in the personal finances of the people, especially the former serf's, and it is claimed that the Jews take advantage of this. The Czar, instead' of reform ing the methods of his govern ment, arid teaching his people by that high example, proposes to persecute and banish the thrifty Jew, who takes advantage of the unthrifty Russian. Rothschild has a great opportunity now to in flict a lesson, and' tlte whole world will Watct with interest this wres tle between- one man and a gov ernment that controls 9G,000,000 people. San Francisco Alta. The News Letter sstintatesr that when fo the $300,000 gtveirby the State for the CaliforTria exhibit at the World's Fair there" is added what the counties and private in dividuals will expend for the same purpose the total outlay from the state will not fall short of $2,000,- 000: Oregon will have no exhibit at the World's Fair. As has- been usual in the past California wilf no doubt draw largely on the' resour ces of this state to make up her exhibit and our people will take a back seal" and let California have all the glory and credit derived fron-4 Oregon's - resources as her own; ' - . The financial condition of the country is improving every day, and more than five millions of dol lars are added to the amount of money in-5 circulation every thirty days. This being the case it is not" strange that conservative men should be . satisfied to "let well endUgn--alone.'r , - -Senator Morgan recently said that he believed nothing could please 'the American people so much "as- a' foreign war. Some would-be government contractor or an ambitious army or navy officer must stand in the senator's mind for the American people. The Farmers Alliance of Mary land is s&i&Ho be after Senator Gorman's scalp. It is -arr oppo- nent'not to be despised whatever may be your opinion of some of the ideas it advances.

But as a matter of fact the English Board of Trade returns show that we sold merchandise to England valued at j95 millions arid she sold td in goods valued at 44 millions; sliglilly over 1.8 per cent, of the total commerce Of the two countries conHistcd ofHftlfrf by England. On the other htunl, England sold Russia 8 j millions Worth 6f goods and took 27 millions worth, or the" salon of England were slightly less than 24 per cent, of the total trudo. But Russia has a more prohibitive tariff than we, and the higher her tariff the greater her sales to Eng land and the less her purchases. But there is nothing in this to shake a free-trader's belief in what his common sense tells him. American Economist.- The- Examiner says: "On Sufc urday a man who stole 90 cents' worth of property was sentenced to two years' hard labor in Folsom Prison. John C. Hall who stole over $200,000 is still at large. Justice is mighty and has a habit of prevailing in story books, but It does not seem to be startirfgiy suc cessful in real life." . istil&Sk has passed a law requir ing purchasing agents for' state in stitutions to buy Indiana produc tions only. This was done by a democratie legislature" everlasting ly opposed to tariff laws and the home market. But there is some- i thing strange about it. " The pension lists of the United States show that there are yet 413 6urvi-vors of the war of 1812r and 8610" surviving widows, and of the Mexican war 17,158 surviving sol diers and 6764 widow's.
