EVERY MAN A MONOPOLIST.
Human nature is pretty much the
same in the beggar as it is in the prince.
The same greed for wealth that distin
guishes the rich monopolist is easily
traced in fie character of Ids poorer
neighbor. Every man is a monopolist
to the full extent of his power, and the
exceptions to this rule are rare indeed.
The vender of pea-nuts is as anxious, in
his humble way, to control anil monop
olize the entire trade within bis juris
diction as is the rich speculator in puts
and calls, to corner the market of a con
tinent. The corner groccrv-man, as
well as the merchant prince, the boot
black as well as the bloated bond- holder,
the butcher, the baker and candle-stick
maker, all are alike infected with the
disposition to monopolize the business
of their respective railings. It mav be
all wrong, and iu a strictly ethical sense
it surely is, but human nature itself
must be changed before the disosition
can be eradicated. In the poor man the
tendency is called smartness, shrewd
ness, business capacity, in the rich it is
designated by the harsher terms of mon
opoly and oppression, yet who shall
draw the line where business capacity
ends and monopoly begins. Right here
lies the difficulty the law experiences in
dealing with monopolies. If it is wrong
for the grain speculator to corner the
market of a nation, it is wrong for the
butcher to corner the market of a vill
age. The disposition, the moral intent
is the same in both, the crime against
society, if crime it is, is only one of de
gree. The sin of the rich man is greater
only because his opportunities are great
er and our sympathy for the smaller
monopolist, in his struggle for control of
the business of his limited sphere,
while we roundly condemn his richer
brother, Is largely placed at the expense
the prevailing winds are never from the
direction of the Columbia, which is due

The road between Bake Oven on the

barbarous condition, and yet a very large
proportion of the wool shipped to this
market comes over it, while it is the
only outlet for the shipment of produce

to make two or three counties. No one
will deny that these and numerous other
improvements of like character are
badly needed, yet the present genera

be profitable and, it ought not to be dif

enable the counties to pledge their cred

In such cases these funds could certainly
be secured at a rate of interest two or
three per cent.' less than the counties
have to pay on their scrip. This dif
ference would nearly keep 'the improve

ple, and would amount to little less

as we know from our own personal

observation and conversation with the
men themselves that these rations were
good, wholesome and abundant. The

The farmers' alliance which met at
Portland the other day made a very
grave mistake when it pledged itself to a
platform that proposes to make its 50
per capita or $3,250,000,000 of irredeem
able paper money a legal tender for all
debts public and private, "all previous
contractu to the contrary notwithstanding.'
There are thousands of persons still liv
ing who remember with indignation in
stances that occurred, after our currency
had depreciated, during the civil war,
when men who had contracted debts on
a gold basis took advantage of the legal
tender clause to pay a hundred cent debt
witn a torty cent greenback, Ul course
farmers' alliance men will say they
don't expect their currency to depreciate,
but the bare possibility of such a thing
should have made them hesitate to
place themselves on record as favoring
anything so suspicionsly dishonest.
Such a plank, if we mistake not, will
lose the alliance many a vote in Oregon
aud elsewhere. It is never right to
amend a wrong by a wrong. ; The poor
have no more right to oppress the rich
(if that were possible) than therich have
to oppress the poor.

The Louisiana Lottery Company offers
to the farmers of that state that if they
will agree to extend the company's
charter, the latter will loan, them money
at one per cent, per annum. The offer
is of course very tempting to impecuni
ous farmers, or to any one else; ica that
matter, but the proposition is practically
the same as if the company should say
to the Louisiana legislature : If you
pass an act, making it lawful for us to
steal, we promise to loan you the fruit
of our theft at one per cent, a year. .
The cheekiest thing that happened
for many a day occurred when a New

be sent to the penitentiary, made appli
