" On Tsar.eeaMt paid in advance)......... z w WASHINGTON LETTER. Senator Mitchell, of Oregon, is one of the advance guard ot the congressional array which is com ing to Washington to help make things pleasant for the old sol diers. He is utilizing the time be fore the encampment in attending to some department business for his constituents. After the en campment he will return to Ore gon with the G. A. R. men from that state, and take an aggressive part in the campaign. Of the gen eral political outlook he says, "ev erything I hear makes the victory ot Harrison and Reid more cer tain. I am satisfied that New York will give Harrison a larger majority this year than in 1888." Asked about his own state, the senator said: "Oh, Oregon is all right; we shall carry the state, as usual, notwithstanding the activity of the people's party, which may cast as many as 20,000 votes in "the state." Speaking of the people's party, if one may believe what is said by members of that party who are high up in its official councils, it is rapidly going to pieces in the . South, where such great results had been so confidently predicted for it. Governor Tillman, of South Carolina, whose recent sweeping victory over the regular democratic organization in that state is fresh in the minds of the public, is openly accused by the editor of the people's party na tional organ of being a traitor to the people's party, and of having used the farmer's alliance as a club to thump a rival democratic faction, intending all the while to act with the national democratic party himself. If this editor ftnows what he is talking about, a similar state of affairs exists iu other states, where the bulk of the so called people's party are merely "kicking" democrats who will at the national election support Cleveland and Stevenson. lie savs there is a probability that these democrats who are using the alliance and the third party mere ly as stepping stones to enable them to get into offices may find themselves disappointed, as there may be simon pure people's party tickets put up in every southern state where the men now in con trol of that party are under sus picion, and this is the party that was going to carry half of the southern states. Hon. J. N. Hus ton, ex U. S. treasurer, who usually knows everything worth knowing about Indiana politics, is in Wash tngton. He says "both parlies are hard at work, with headquar ters wide open at!ndianapolis,and speakers busy stumping the state, This week Gov. McKinley will be gin a stumping tour of the nation al eas region, and later we will have other noted outside orators. Republicans, with rare exceptions which are becoming rarer, are con fident of success, and if we succeed in our suit now in court, in over throwing the present unjust and unconstitutional apportion m e n t law. we shall certainly sweep the state." Democrats here"make on bones" of saying publicly that Mr. Cleve land has got to recognize Senator Hill, no matter how humiliating it may be to him, if he wishes to stand even the ghost of a chance of carrying New York, without which he cannot possibly be elect ed. The national democratic com mittee has made a "dicker" with the alliance bosses in South Da- kola, wherebv the democrats of that state are bound to support the alliance, or third party state ticket and the four electors are to be equally divided between Cleve land and Weaver. Senator Kyle is to take the stump for the fusion ticket and the national democratic committee is to furnish all the documents and boodle needed. Republicans here believe that Ihis deal will brine the republican al- u A f V,if first Ir.tra iiauva mall uutrv. iu wcu m j and result in electing the repub-j lican state ticket and electors. . Hon. Max Pracht, of Oregon, who is about to return to Alaska, to act this time as fish commis sioner tinder the law passed March 2, 1889, makes remarks which should set our traders thinking, for Alaska is clearly part of our com mercial territory. He savs that "the salmon fisheries, to which hi special attention will be directed are far more valuable to the Unit ed btates than the seal fisheries Last year the pack was 700,000 cases, valued at $3,225,000. Here X. P . a toiure many oi tne streams up which the salmon run to spawn have been actually blockaded by devices for salmon catching, some times a dam being raised to pre vent them entering. The law of March 2, 18S9, prohibits such of these as are obstructions, it being the object to preserve the fisheries for all time. Reasonable measures taken by the fishermen to procure a caicn are not contemplated as contrary to the spirit of the law, Besides the wealth of salmon, Mr Pracht thinks highly of the black cod banks, of which there are sev eral off the shores of the peninsula running out southwesterly from Alaska. He claims that they are as prolific and even richer than the famous banks of Newfoundland In a few years, on account of the slow failure of these banks, the Alaska commodity must come to be of great commercial value. There are three firms of San Fran Cisco who have been sending ves sels north with good results. The banks are about fifty fathoms un der water, and the catch is made with hand lines, the men fishing over the sides of the vessels and dories, two men to each dory. They are fietched and salted down in the hold, taken to San Francisco and there sun-dried. For the first couple of years the fish were "rusty" on account of faulty cur ing, but now the secrets ol proper curing have been found with the most beneficial results." Aslor ian. The letters of President Harri son and Mr. Blaine define the re publican position in the present campaign clearly and forcibly They adhere closely to the letter and spirit of the republican nation ai piatlorni, ana contain no quip pie nor demagogic bid for votes, llie same will not prove the case with Mr. Cleveland's letter of ac ceptance, which may be expected to make its appearance so soon as he has harmonized the contending factions. His is a difficult task He has not only to placate Ilil and tammany, without offending the mugwump branch of the party which is well-nigh - impossible since tammany demands complete control of New York, but he must harmonize the absolute free trade ring of the democracy, as repre sented by Watterson, with the sectional protection ring which he himself represents. This seems i hopeless task. Watterson is ram pant, lie declares that the pro tective idea must be uprooted com pietely, and to bacK him he nas the positive declaration of the dem ocratic platform, secured by him in opposition to the straddle de sired by Cleveland. New Eng land states, New York and New Jersey can not be carried on the free trade basis, and Cleveland knows it The democracy can only hope for votes in those states on the promise of the continuance of protection to their industries, while removing it from the pro ducts of the west, which they af fect to call raw materials. What ever may be the result of the ef fort to harmonize the two factions in the party in New York, there is little hope that the Cleveland and Watterson ideas of tariff reform and tariff abolition may be pre vented from- clashing. Cleve land's letter will beyond doubt re pudiate the democratic platform, and the storm he thus seeks to al lay in the east will break out with equal violence elsewhere. So great is the difficulty to be overcome, that the wisdom of the serpent would suggest the mild ness of the dove in handling . this question. If inflexible custom did not demand a formal letter, Cleve- and would find no letter at all the best solution of the puzzle.

Posson's Seed Store, GO VERNMENT O WNERSII1P OF R. R. After the people's party had made their platform they asked United States Senator ' Carlisle what he thought of their scheme of government ownership of rail roads and telegraph. He asked if they meant to get possession ot them by confiscation, aud they re plied in the negative. He then showed that if the government did not confiscate it must buy, and that if it paid a fair price to the owners of the property it would have to raise for the purpose $14, 000,000,000, a sum over four times greater than the debt incurred in the prosecution of the late war, and would have to raise it by tax ation. . "Are vou ready," he said, "to tax yourselves to raise this money Then, after you have got the prop erty, are you ready to tax your selves to operate it, for the govern ment never yet succeeded in do ing business at a profit? Consider another effect; such a plan would add perhaps 1,200,000 men and women to the roll ot government employes. How would you ever succeed in turning out of power an administration with such resources at its command? The more cor runt it was the more difficult it wo'uld be to displace it." Then the people's party plat form architects asked Mr. Carlisle what he thought about their de nunciation of the concentration of "the money power in a few hands. Then Mr. Carlisle asked how they would remedy this evil by revolution or by an act of legisla ture? "Do you propose to say by your legislature that when a man has earned $100 or $1,000 or $10, UUU that he shall not earn any more?" This again reduced them to silence. The annual consumption of prunes in the United States is a little over one pound for each per son. As the population of the country is increasing at the rate of one million and a half a year it is easy to see that the consump tion will increase pretty rapidly even 11 there shall be no increase in the rate of consumption. The quality of the pruue of the Pacific northwest is so far superior to that of the common prune of com merce that whenever they are put upon the market at prices any where near as low as the common foreign prune sells for there will inevitably be an immense increase in the rate of consumption. With the aid of a protective tariff of two cents per pound, joined to the su perior quality of our product, the Pacific Jcoast should certainly be able to drive the loreign prunes out of the market without reduc ing the price of prunes to a point that will knock all the profit out of the business. At the present time California is producing about one-third enough prunes to supply the United States-. In ten years Oregon and Washington ought to produce one-half of all the prunes consumed in the United States. To do this will require close to 50, 000,000 pounds of prunes. It is evident that there is plenty of room yet for development of the prune business without over-doing it. ' The young men of the country should read the history of the gen eration of their fathers, and see what- the republican party has aone in tne tuirty years 01 us , 1 , 1 i . r zl- statesmanship.

The people's party want "cheap money and plenty of it," so they urge the sub-treasury scheme, free coinage of silver, the land mort gage scheme. The experience of the southern confederacy ought to have cured the south of the delu sion that an increase to the vol ume of the currency is the cure for all financial ill3. The southern confederacy issued just the kind of currency that the people's party calls for; it was issued by the gov ernment in volume as needed, and was based on the faith and credit of the seceding states as much as snb-treasury currency would be based upon the credit and re sources of the United States. Confederate money was always plenty and cli3ap,but it finally be came so cheap that a barrel of flour would, buy a wagon load of it. It brought big prices to farm ers and to everybody who had any' thing to sell, but the farmers did not get rich. The wages of labor, measured by their power to pur chase the comforts of life, did not rise as the currency became plenty and cheap. Gold was the standard, but the confederacy were not able to redeem in gold, so flour sold for $500 a barrel, a pair of shoes for $303, or a pair of hickory trousers for $100. Of all the fruit brought into Portland there is very little that equals that produced by Joseph Ranger, of Oswego. The Portland grocers at thij time are selling Mr. Ranger's apples for $2.50 per box. Although Mr. Ranger is not yet a large fruit grower he is proceed ing upon most thorough principles. As an illustration of the pains that he takes to keep pests away from his orchard it may be related that he declined to take back to his place his own fruit boxes after they had been in town for a day or two before being emptied. If all of our fruit growers were like Mr. Ranger there would be an un limited demand for Oregon fruit. Rural Northwest. Pkesipent Gilbert, of the New York Dairy association, says of the 100,000,000 pounds of butter annually made in the state of New York, not one-third reaches the market iu a fit condition to be used for food. The Rural North west asks: "Can anyone tell us what proportion of the butter made in Oregon reaches the market in condition which is fit for food ac cording to President Gilbert's standard ?" Let us give the democratic lead ers sound advice. Instead of as suming that the republican policy of protection has ruined the coun try, let them admit that the peo ple are prosperous add promise to do better if Cleveland is placed in power. This would be a sensible course to pursue. It will make more votes than endorsing the as sertions of the calamity howlers. The whole country gives ap proval by acclamation to Harri son's telegram to Secretary Foster: It is an outrage that the- steam ship companies continue to bring in immigrants from infected ports. Say to them that it should stop, as it is certain every ship will bring disease, and wemay.be compelled to turn back pest-laden vessels." For Sale.

Peck, the democratic labor Com missioner of New York, in his late report shows the great prosperity attending the laboring classes in the state and the increase in man uiactures and wages. jnow he is denounced by the democratic press without exception as not be ing a good democrat and that his report was written purposely to defeat Cleveland ! Was there ever such a spectacle presented to the World before? The leaders of a great party deploring the prosper ity of the country, rejoicing at cal amity, and at the failure of any American manufacturing enter prise. Baron de Waterville, honorary director of the ministry of public instruction in France, announces that he is about to publish a study entitled "The Creation of a Nation al Nobility in the United States."
