RECIPROCITY.
If the reciprocity scheme authorized
by the.last congress should ever produce
half the results which its admirers ex
pect it to do the commercial industrial
and 'chipping interests of the United
States will jeceive a stimulus such
they have not known for many a year,
"Already," we are informed, "the great
manufacturers and merchants in New
York, Chicago, Boston and other large
- cities are sending trusted agents
to
booth and Central America with in
struction to examine the fields which
are to furnish Uncle Sam with new
markets and to bring back the fullest
possible information regarding the wants
of our southern neighbors." As soon as
these wants are fully known measurers
will be at once taken to supply them
and 'Postmaster-General Wannamaker
is preparing plans for securing the ser
vice of lines of fast steamers as soon
they are heeded for the anticipated trade
manufacturers and shippers will soon
issue illustrated catalogues of the goods
they have to sell printed in Spanish, the
prevailing language of the southern con
' tinent. - With the enterprise peculiar to
the Yankee genius arrangements are
being made to advertise in the local
southern press and recommendations
are already offered to the effect that the
study of Spanish shall be adopted in all
the commercial schools in the United
States. ';The benefits to be derived from
an exchange of products with the south
era republics will be pretty evenly bal
' anced. They have much to sell us that
does not come into competition with the
products of the United States, and these
will be " admitted into our ports duty
free. On the other band we produce
. many things that South America needs
and these will be admitted into southern
ports either free or at such a tariff re
duction below that on similar products
of other "nations that the United States
will have a practical monopoly.
country in which hog meats sell at from
60 to 75 cents a pound, butter at a dollar
a cake, and wheaten bread at 50 cents
for a baker's loaf should not be a bad
market to send our farm products to.
A country that has no farm implements
and scarce! v any manufactures that
it
does not import, should, under the reci
procity provisions, afford a fine market
for our machinery and manufactures.
We should be much disappointed if this
reciprocity scheme does not prove to be
the most profitable piece of legislation
this country has received for many years.
QUESTION FOR
MEN.
SINGLE TAX
The assessed value of all taxable
property in Wasco county is in round
numbers $2,500,000. Something like
million and a half of this sum repre
sents .".real property. Lhe remaining
millon is personal property. It requires,
let us say, $62,500 a year to run the
county or twenty-five mills on every
dollar of its assessable property. Now
if the single tax 'system would reduce
the taxes on the farmers and land-holders
will some single tax theorist explain
how - the thing can be done? To an
ordinary mortal it would appear that if
the amount required to run the county
is to be levied off real property only the
levy "must be raised from 25 mills to
oyer mills. In other words every
hundred dollars' worth of land that now
pays a tax of two and a half dollars,
would", -under the single tax system, pay
over 4.16. ' The millionaire whose
wealth is all in money, may pay little
now but he would pay nothing then at
all, and as .taxes are a necessary evil the
poor man 8 farm or residence lot would
help to make up the deficiency. Will
some advocate of the single tax theory
tell us how a $62,500 tax can be raised
OH f 1,500,000 worth ol real estate with a
smaller levy than 25 mills, when it
takes- 25 mills of every dollar of two and
half millions of both kinds of property
to raise' that 'amount? When this done
the Chronicle wfll become an advocate
of the theory.
Two-months have already passed since
the law went into effect authorizing the
state to build a portage railway at the
Cascades,' and the geneAl government
granted the right of way for the same,
and up. to this moment nothing has been
done in the way of locating the road so
that the portage commission could go to
work to build- it. " Meanwhile the river
has been slowly rising so as to render it
more difficult and expensive to build the
inclines at either end of the road. We
do not believe the portage commission is
to blame for the delay except in so far
as they have put any faith in Major
Handbury's profession that he desired
to see the road bnilt and built at the ex
pense of the general government. If
the Mayor's pretensions are sincere why
has he' not located the road so that the
commission could go to work without
delay? .We have lost all patience with
this &llydallying mayor. It is a pity
that any suggestions of his were ever
listened to for a moment. There is a
fatuity, of postponement and delay con
lsected with everything c he touches, re
lating .to the opening -of the Columbia
river.'-Jf:-was not sufficient that he
should haye contributed to the defeat of
the Haley bill by; giving representative
McCojr an excuse to fight it under the
pretense that it would cost a million to
build the road on the Oregon side. He
most pretended that he is in favor of
the government building tbe portage at
the Cascade, and the moment the por
tage commission listened to him, at that
.moment began- another series of those
delays and postponements' that have
cursed everything he has touched, look
ing to the relief of the people of Eastern
Oregon.

There has been an improvement in
every branch df business during the
past week. Our merchants have re
ceived large additions to their stocks of
goods, and trade in their line has
naturally increased. In the grain mar
ket there has been more activity and
the receipts have been larger prices
have advanced. The Wasco warehouse
and the Diamond mills are paying 80
cents per bushel for good merchantable
wheat ; how long this price will be main
tained is a question, as lower duotations
are noted in Chicago, New York and
European markets. Flour has advanced
in sympathy with wheat; best brands
are selling at $4.25 per barrel in largi
quantities. A farther advance may be
expected unless a drop in wheat is real
ized.
Wool has come in quite freely during
he past week, prompting buyers to look
this way and several have made their
appearance. Offerings have been made
as high as 18 V cents per pound for
clean prime wool, and some that was
very dirty could get but 10hi cents per
pound offered.
There is a disposition on the part of
owners to ships instead of holding
storage, and selling it themselves which
may be a mistake as our market
usually the best.
The produce market is of a better
tone. Good potatoes are a little stiffer
in price and are not quite as plentiful
while inferior are in abundance
at a decline. Garden vegetables
are rather abundant and our
markets are well supplied at nominal
prices. Good ranch butter is freely
offered at quotations, a poor quality only
being 35 to 40 cents per roll. Eggs are
still low with no immediate prospect of
an advance. Early spring chickens are
in good demand. A good inquiry is had
for chicks lartre enough for bro'l at fair
prices.
The Dalles wheat market is firmer at
80 cents per bushel with a lower future.
Oats The oat market is short of
supply with few offerings at quota

cental and inferior $1.35 per cental.
Barley There is no offering of
barley. Quote $1.10 per qental sacked.

THE NEW ORLEANS AFFAIR.
The Report of the Grand Jury
Has
Reached Washington-
Washington, May 6. The report of
the New Orleans grand jury excited no
surprise here. The attempt to palliate
the infraction of the law by off-setting
the alleged attempts at jury-fixing is
depreciated by the legal department but
there is a well defined opinion on the
whole outcome that the case will be
beneficial in its efforts upon the turbu
lent foreign elements of the United
States.
The report will, it is expected reach
Secretary Blaine in due course of time
and make quite a figure in the official
correspondence between the United
States and Italy. The report finds
eight of them to have been naturalized
American citizens and that one of them
had declared his intentions to become
naturalized.

People living in this county have of
late been talking of petitioning the next
legislature to make an appropriation for
putting in fish ladders at the Klickitat
falls. They say ff this was done salmon
and other species of food fish would come
np the streams in this valley in great
numbers. Parties who have a knowl
edge of such matters claim that the ap
propriation would be light. This it
seems would be at least one good turn
which the legislature might do for
Klickitat. It would be well to remem

in England.
Portland, May 5. The eailypartof
the journey of the president and party in
to Oregon today was made in a steady fall
of rain varying from a drizzle to a light
storm. This discouraging state of affairs
did not seem to dampen the enthusiasm of
the inhabitants and they paid the chief
magistrate every possible' honor at each
place visited.
A Reception that Flashed In the Pan.
Large crowds, including Grand Army
men and militia, were assembled at
Eugene to greet the president but all
their preparations went for naught as he
was fast asleep in his car when the tram
drew up at that station nor was he
awakened by the firing of cannon and
the familiar strains of "Hail to our
Chief" by the brass band- It was 6
o'clock in the -morning but the people
thought the president should have ac
knowledged the compliment paid bim
and they gave free vent to their indigna
tion at his failure to appear.
It is explained by the president's
friends that the people of Eugene had
been informed last night that the presi
dent's engagement for the day, made it
absolutely necessary that he should have
a full night's rest and that it would be
asking too much to expect him to begin
the labor of the day at 5 o'clock in the
morning. This, however, was the only
disappointment of today.
Reception at Albany.
At Albany which was reached at 8
o'clock, the president and all members
of his party were on the rear platform of
the observation car and gave a hearty
response to the enthusiastic greeting of
the people.
Cadets of the Corvallis agricultural col
lege were drawn up in line at the station
and formed a part of the reception com
mittee. There was a fine display of
flags and profusion of . floral tributes.
The mayor of the city introduced the
president to the throng. He acknow
ledged their cheers with a brief address.
THE GOVERNOR WAS THERE,
Handaome Addresa by Our Executive
and an Equally Handsome Reply. -
At Salem there was a slight delay ow
ing to the absence of the governor. The
mayor of the city procured a carriage
and after a short- absence returned in
company with the governor. These two
gentlemen were the first persons to
board the presidential train.
They were received by marshal Rams
dell and presented to the president and
to the members of the party including
Mrs. Harrison - and other ladies. On
being presented to the president gov
ernor Pennoyer said : -
I am glad to see you, Mr. President
and to welcome you to Oregon on behalf
of the people of the state of Oregon ;
do as its chief elective officer extend
to you the president ol the United
States a most cordial welcome.
The freedom of the whole state is
yours. Upon this occasion all party
differences are forgotten and the citizens
of our state hail your presence here,
as this thronged assemblage well attests
with sincere greetings, and even nature
itself appears to be in full accord with
the sentiment of onr people, for in the
valley and upon mountain spring has
iust now hung its leafy banners out
as if to bid you welcome here.
"We were gratified when we learned of
your intended visit and it has afforded
to us unfeigned pleasure to hear of the
hearty demonstrations that have been
accorded you in all portions of onr com
mon country which you have visited
We Bincerly regret that you could not
have prolonged your stay within our
borders in order to visit other portions
of our state not embraced in your initer
ary, assuring you that you would have
received in all localities from the moun
tains to the sea, most hospitable greet
ings of pur yeomanry.
Mr. President, the people of this
commonwealth congratulate you upon
the feeling of national amity everywhere
manifested upon your journey and it is
their earnest prayer that the spirit of
concord now happily existing among the
people of our whole country may remain
undisturbed throughout the remainder
of your administration and for unnum-.
be red cycles yet to come. Again I assure
you that Oregon extends to you a gener
ous, heartfelt welcome."
The president responded as follows
"Governor Pennoyer, Mr. Mayor and
Fellow Citizen : It is very pleasant to
be assured by these kindly words, which
have been spoken by the governor of
this state and by the chief officer of this
municipality, that we are welcome to
the state of. Oregon and to the citv .of
Salem. I find here, as I have found
elsewhere, that these cordial words of
welcome are repeated with increased
emphasis by the kindly faces of those
who have assembled to greet us. I am
glad that here as elsewhere, we look into
the faces of happy, prosperous, con
tented, lilierty-loving patriotic American
citizens. (Applause.! The wholesome
and just division of power between three
great independent, co-ordinate branches
of government, the executive, legislative
and judicial, has already demonstrated
that what seems to the nations of
Europe to be a complicated and jang
ling system, produces in fact the most
perfect harmony, and most complete and
satisfactory organization for social order
and for national strength.
We stand here today in one of those
halls set apart to the law making body
of your state. Those who have assem
bled here are chosen by your suffrage.
They come here as representatives to
enact into laws those views of the public
questions which have met the sanction '
of a majority of your people, expressed
in an orderly and honest way at the bal
lot box. I hope it may always be found
to be true of Oregon that your legislative
body is a representative body, that com
ing from the people its service is conse
crated to the people.
"The duty of the executive is to admin-
'bter its laws; -the "military power is
lodged with him under constitutional
limitations. He does not frame its
statutes though in most states and un
der our national government a veto
power is lodged in him with a view to
secure a reconsideration of any particu
lar measure. But a public executive
officer has one plain duty, and it is to en
force the laws with kindness and fore
bearance, but with promptness and inex
orable decision. (Cheers.)
"It is my great pleasure to find it gen
erally everywhere a disposition to obey
the law. I have but one message for the
north and for the south, for the east
and for the west, as I journey through
this land, it is to hold up the law (cries
of "good good" and cheers) and to say
everywhere that every man owes alleg
iance to it and that all' law breakers
must be left to the deliberate and safe
judgment of an established tribunal.
(Applause.)
"You are justly proud of your great
state. Its capabilities are enormous;
its adaption to comfortable life are
peculiar and fine. Years will bring you
increased population and increased
wealth. I hope they will bring with it,
marching in this stately progress of
material things, those of finer things,
piety, pure homes and orderly com
munities. (Applause.) But above all
this state, over all our rejoicings in the
advantages which are about us in our
respective states, we look with greater
pride to that great arch of government
that unites those states and makes of
them one great union." (Cheers.)
At the Indian School.
"A short stop was made at Chem
awa, where the president reviewed the
pupils of the Indian training school and
matte an appropriate address to them
- At Oregon City.
At Oregon Uitv the partv met with a
hearty reception. The president made
a pleasant address in reply to an address
of welcome.
THE ARRIVAL IN PORTLAND.
Received with Great Pomp and Splendor.
Portland, Or., May 5. At 12:10 the
presidential train arrived at L street
station, East Portland, with its locomo
tive gaily decked with evergreens, flow
ers, bunting and flags.
All the steamboats in the harbor blew
whistles lustily and a salute of twenty
one guns was fired.
When the president came out of the
car he was met by ex-United States
Attorney General George H. Williams,
who introduced him to the Mayor De
Lashmutt.
The presidential party then entered
the carriage and crossed the Morrison
street bridge into Portland escorted by
the marine band, the Sheridan Cavalry
company and the Grand Army of Re
public.
As the procession moved across the
bridge the booming of cannons and toot
ing of whistles continued.
Twenty thousand people were waiting
at tbe Portland approach to the bridge
and when the presidential carriage
finally reached this side a mighty cheer
went np from every throat.
The crowd immediately fell in behind
the presidential carriage and cheered
until hoarse. The president acknowl
dged the compliment by riding bare
beaded through the streets, and bowing
right and left.
A slight rain was falling when the
president reached Portland, but it soon
turned into a heavy rain. However, it
did not interfere with the formation cf
the parade. Over four thousand men
were in line.
The line consisted of the entire garri
son at Vancover barracks, the First reg
iment O. N. G. cadets of the Bishop
military accademy, Grand Army, civic
societies and firemen. Col. T. M. An
derson of Vancover was marshal.
The line of march extended to the
high school where about four thousand
school children, were drawn up in line,
which extended four blocks. The presi
dent bowed acknowledgements as he
passed through the line.
After marching about the city for two
hours the procession was reviewed by
the president and dismissed. The pres
idential party then retired to the hotel.
Gone to Washington.
Tacoma, May 6. The president and
party entered the state of Washington at
an early hour this morning in a driving
rainstorm. This interfered materially
with the arrangements for his reception
at the various places visited but did not
suppress the cordiality and enthusiasm
of the people.
It was 8 o'clock when the presidential
special reached Tacoma and rain seemed
to be coming down harder than ever.
Notwithstanding this fact the chief
magistrate of the nation and his advisers
were given a royal reception.
They were met at the station by the
governor of the state, and a committee
of citizens who escorted the party to the
Gross block where formal addresses of
welcome were delivered.
The line of march and the reviewing
stand were handsomely and appropri
ately decorated. .
There were four grand arches on
Pacific avenue, one made of fir block,
another of coal, another of iron and a
fourth of grain, all of jative production.
In his response to tbe address of wel
come the president said :
"I would like to see some great steam
ship lines carrying the American flag en
tering the ports of Puget sound. I believe
we have come to the time in our develop
ment as a people when we must step
forward with bold progress, or we will
lose the advantage we have already at
tained. We have within ourselves re
sonrces and a market of which the world
is envious. We have been content in
years gone by to allow other nations to
to do the carrying trade of the world.
We have been content to see the markets
of the American republics lying south of
us, controlled by European nations. I
think a period of discontent with these
things has come to our people. The
time is auspicious for tbe enlargement
of our commerce with these friendly re
publics. The time is propitious" for the
re-establishing on the seas qf ah- Ameri-
cen merchant marine that shall -do its
share of the carrying trade of the world."
