The Forthcoming report I of the Commissioners of Agriculture con tains thrfolklTOSrpamgraph vOuck illiterates thft necessity of the du tributiorand Variety of industrial pursuit & our couutry It will ap ply with even greater force to Ore gon than to Iowa: ; 4 The West has much to gain from the teachings of & tat is tics. , Iowa, tigorou and ambitious, too young for despondency, is in a spasm of in dignation against monopoly and an excess "of .middlemen, and yet in trade and transportation she has bnt eight per cent., or little more than half the proportion ot the Middle States. She may hare too many and too greedy go -betweens, and she needs justice in the transportation of her products; but these evils reme died, the burden of her trouble wil still remain. The great difficulty ul her crops of industry, has fixty-one per cent, of farmers instend of twenty-five. Double track railroads, ca nals vexed with , steam propellers, Grunge associations, free trade, and every other-fancied boon obtained, she will still remain in comparative poverty and positive discontent while she continues to have less than four teen per cent, of her people engaged in manufacturing and mechanical industry. History does not point to a permanently prosperous people having such a preponderance of pop ulation engaged in agricultural pur suits Portland CiiHtoni House. Senator Mitchell has iutroducod a bill in the Senate appropriating $100,000 to construct a Custom House ami a bontlea warehouse in Portland. . There is no necessity for this appropriation at this time. The Custom House at Astoria and the branch at Portland are amply suffi cient.ox all practical purposes. Mr Mitchell would better secure this ap Dromiaiion for the improvement of of the Upper Columbia and Willam ette rivers.- iWe have enough Cus tom Houses. The revenues collected through west of them are stolen by officials to perpetuate them in office and to support their extravagauce. has bean a curse to Oregon and burden to. the Govennent. In the first -place the Custom House at As toria was all and. is all that is neeclei for the business of the Columbia am Willamette rivers and money appro priated for this purpose at Portland is money thrown away. , Slaughter of Back-Pay Grabbers. - . i . . . Out of one hundred and two Rep resentatives in the forty second Con gress who'voted for the salary-grab, says the Cincinnati Commercial twenty-four only secured a re-nomi-hation to Congress, while seventy eight were either beaten for re-nomination or otherwise withdrawn from public view. Qut of the twenty-four who voted for the salary grab in March, 1873, who were nominated for Congress in 1 874 'twelve were defeated at the polls. ' Out of the whole number of one hundred and two members voting for the salary grab, only nine have been re-elected to Congress. And not all of these nine spared nionu ' rnents even took the money given them by the high salary Act.
