SYSTEM OF WONDEROUS PO
TENTIALITIES.
If the government can make money
out of rags and printer's ink why does
it not tret down to business and pay off
the national debtT What sense is there
in all this fight over a tariff for revenue
or a protective tariff or any other kind of
a tariff? Henry George has patented a
system for abolishing poverty, in which
the single tax theory occupies a promi
nent place. If the government can
make money out of nothing we don't
need the single tax system nor any
other system of taxation, municipal,
county, state or national : Simply man
ufacture enouzh of money to meet all
demand and that's the end of taxation
If the government can make money out
of nothing there ought not to be a poor
man on the American continent. If
there is. the government is to blame. It
will cost nothing to make him rich. If
the government can make money out
of nothing it is senseless to talk of two per
cent, loans on lands or farm produce.
Let the government buy the farmers'
truck and pav a good round price for it,
In such case we arc in favor of a law
fixing the price of wheat at ten dollars a
bushel and all farm produce in propor
tion. If the non-farmer is not able to
pay this price let the government give
him the money to buy what he needs
Ay give it to him. The money given
won't cost anything, and the farmer
won't be iealous. because he will have
all the monev he wants, himself. Ob
there are wonderous potentialities clus
terincr around this system of finance. It
would stop office seeking and boodllng,
It would crush out monopolies and
trusts.' Every man would have all the
money he needed. The United States
would become a paradise with the fruit
of its trees yielding all manner of green
backs. .

too, after Europe had unloaded on us
millions of dollars of our stocks, because
our securities were the only ones, in the
world that found a cash market when
the Barings and others were trying to
save themselves. In ten years, from
1880 to 1S90, we have added $200,000,000
to our capital invested in manufactures,
an increase of nearly 75 per' cent. In
the same time the value of our manufac
tured products has risen from $5,300,
000,000 to $3,600,000,000, a gain of $3,
300,000,000 ; or, in other words, we are
now producing manufactured goods at a
rate of $3,300,000,000 a year more than
we were ten years ago. The increase in
capital invested in manufactures in ten
years, from 1880 to 1890 was greater than
the entire amount of capital invested in
1870, or only twenty years ago. In these
tew years the growth of our manufactur
ing interests was greater than the
growth from the settlement of America
up to 1870. In these ten years we have
built 75,000 miles of railroad, almost as
much as our total milage in 188U.

the Capture of a Missouri

If the rumor that the control of the
Union Pacific bus passed into the hands
of the Vanderbilts should prove to be
true the people of Eastern Oregon will
have the satisfaction of the assurance
that the new management cannot pos
sibly be worse than the old and will in
all probability be much better. One
thing is certain the Vanderbilts know
how to run railroads so as to make them
pay. If they get control of the Union
Pacific the road will be conducted on
business principles, and this means bet
ter service to its patrons and not neces
sarily higher rates. If the Vanderbilts
get control, the principle of saving at
the spigot while wastins at the bung
will be abandoned.
RAILROAD TAXATION IN WASH
INGTON.
The Whitman county. Wash., assessor
has fixed the rate ot assessment of the
various railroads running through that
county at $10,000, irrespective of the
cost of construction. The Northern Pa
cific has asked the commissioners to re
duce the rate to $5,500 a mile and the
Union Pacific is willing to be assesed at
$7,000. The commissioners have stoutly
refused to admit the reduction asked.
The Union Pacific lines are said to be
mortgaged for $30,000 a mile. The com
missioners hold that if the road is worth
$30,000 a mile to mortgage, even on
bonds at 63 cents on the dollar, which
would make $19,500 a mile, cash, the
road ought to surely stand taxation on a
value of $10,000. They further hold that
if the Union Pacific can guarantee 6 per
cent, to the O. R. & N. Co. there surely
must be an earning capacity in the road
of 18 per cent, on $10,000 which wonld
place them on a fair footing with the
granger. This assessment is believed to
be prompted by a spirit of retaliation
for the neglect of the railroads to reduce
freight rates to the extent which the
- vetoed' Wasson bill prescribed and be
cause it is the only way the farmers can
get even with the railroad companies for
having to pay excessive freight charges.
The Salem Journal is indignant be
cause certain papers in the state are con
tinuously casting reflections on the rail
road commissions. The Journal claims
the commission has done its duty fear
lessly in the matter of reducing freights.
The new law governing the conduct of
the commission was framed by Speaker
Geer and is modeled in its main feature
after the Iowa law and now that the rail
roads have refused to obey the mandate
of the commission, the attorney general
will investigate the adjudications upon
that law which were carried on in the
federal courts of Iowa and which the
Journal claims were sustained at every
contested point. If this is true the re
sponsibility of enforcing the law will
now lie with the courts of this state.
Commenting on an article in the Sep

Willows. Cal.. Sept. 2. A fire broke
out last evening about 8 :30 o'clock, and
although the fire department responded
quickly, before they reached (the fire the
Willows hotel was in flames. The wind
being from the south, it communicated
to a frame on the north, and in spite
the fact that the firemen fought it hero
ically, the entire block was doomed, and
the Union hotel and the Crawford house
were soon in flames. A determined
fight was miue to save Hochheimer
store, but the heat from the , Crawford
house was so intense that the flames
soon enveloped it, and one of the finest
business-houses in northern California
was doomed. The fire was finally got
under control after it reached to the
Chapman building, adjoining Hoch
heimer's on the north. It looked at one
time as if the entire block from Svca
more to Walnut street would go. It is
impossible to get the amount of loss at

GRAIN OF THE WORLD.
- Recent revelations in Canada make it
evident that the politicians over that way
are no slouches in the boodling business.
Now that the story is told it would ap
pear that nothing has- ever equaled
. it in the United States with perhaps the
single exception of the doings of the
Tweed ring in New York. Of contracts
aggregating three million dollars nearly
one million was paid as a result of false
measurements. The settlement of the
estate of the late premier, Sir John
McDonald, has revealed the fact that he
was the nominal owner, in the names of
other parties, of . large blocks of
the subsidized Canadian stock, while the
discovery has been made that a member
'.of parliament voted on the proposition
to par himself the sum of $84,000 on
account of an alleged intercolonial con-
- tract, and that the motion for the pay
ment of this sum was made at the in
stance of no less a personage than Sir
Charles Tupper himself. The boodlera
over this way will have to take a tumble
to themselves, else their erstwhile glory
will be fairly eclipsed by their Canadian
fellow craftsmen.
An agent of the notorious Monte Carlo
gambling establishment has offered the
directors of the world's fair, to put up a
million dollar building and pay another
million dollars as a license for the .privi
lege of running a branch gambling game
during the exposition. The proposition
is an insult to the American people and
it is safe to say will not be entertained
for a moment.'
The following sound advice to the
Farmers' Alliance is given by the Port
land World: "Let the rallying cry of
the alliance be, hands off. Give us an
open field and a fair fight, and we can
take care of ourselves. Abolish all dis
crimination in favor of the rich; put
them.on their mussel as we are, and the
farmer can protect himself."
Important Opinion as to Surplus and
Deficit of Grain.
Vienna, Aug. 31. Tqe Hungarian
government has issued an estimate of
the world's grain harvest, based upon
consular reports from all parts of the
world. The yield of wheat is estimated
at from 725,000,000 to 736,000,000 hecto
liters, and rye from 350,000,000 to 360,
000,000 hectoliters, being from 44,000,
000 to 50,000,000 hectoliters below the
average for wheat, and from 00,000,000
to 100,000,000 hectoliters below the aver
age for rye. .
Austria reouirea to imoort from 10.
000,000 to 12,000,000 hectoliters of wheat
and 6,000,000 hectoliters of rye, and
France 30,000,000 hectoliters of wheat
.Hungary has a surplus of 12,000,000
to 13,000,000 hectoliters ot wheat, but of
rye there is a large deficiency. In Kus-
sia the wheat surplus amounts to 16,
000,000 hectoliters, and of rye there is a
deficit of from 40,000,000 to 45,000,000
hectoliters.

Washington, Sept. 3. It is reported
that minister Eagan has been ordered

patory of arbitrating the action on the

"I see. And so you sat down and

"That's exactly the way of it."

"That's it."
"Well here's the letter, and you come

FIT TO BE A WITNESS.
Judge Braham Catches a Real Tartar on
the Stand.
From the Atlanta Constitution. '
The other day Judge Branham of
Borne, was attending Superior court at
Cedartown. One of the lawyers was ex
amining a witness who was not the
brightest individual in the world. The
question arose as to whether the witness
was competent to testify. So the lawyer
thought he would make a test. He
looked at the man.
"Who made you?"
"Moses," answered the witness.
This satisfied the lawyer as to the in
competency of the witness, and he so
argued.
Then the witness turned to Judge
Janes and asked :
"Judge, may I ask the lawyer a ques
tion?"
"Certainly," said Judge Janes.
"Well, Mr. Lawyer, who made you?"
The lawyer thought he would still
further test the witness' competency and
promptly answered :
"Aaron maae me."
The witness was delighted with the
answer and. pointing his finger at the
lawyer, drawled out: -
" Well, I've read that Aaron once made
a calf, but I didn't never expect to see
hit a practicing at law in this yere
court?"
The lawyer blushed, the conrt laughed
and the question of competency of the
witness was affirmatively settled.

as if this ought to turn lose a good deal

Farmers should endeavor to avoid
holding their wheat too long. It is all
right to wait for good prices, especially
this year, but even if the price reaches
$1 per bushel, clear of sacks, some un
fortunate people will wait just a little
too long. It is always best to sell on a
rising market, and it can't always move
upward, oreat discernment is needed
in this matter, and the situation in
Liverpool, rather than in Chicago,

Colonel Inmau's history of the old
Santa Fe trail is to be published in 1S92,

Maurice Bernhardt, the athletic son of
the "divine" Sarah, and his bride are in
New York. They will spend their
honeymoon in this country.
Chief Justice Lucas, of the Virginia
suprume court, is but four feet high, but
he is so dignified that no facetious law

The wife of Lieutenant H. D. Borup,
of the United States legation, in Paris,

lerence V . Powderly, general master
workmen of the Knights of Labor, has
accepted the republican nomination as
delegate to the Pennsylvania constitu

General Joe Shelby is a thoroughly re
constructed ex-Confederate. No soldier
fought more bravely than he ; he knows
he was wrong and does not believe in
keeping up the memories of the war.
General Miles has put himself to un
necessary trouble in denying that h
was cruel to Jefferson Davis, when he
had that gentleman shut up in For

when Mr. Lease boarded a street car.
The car was chuck full and all the men

eye down the car and al the same time a
stooped man in the corner started to

grasping his arm. "That's Mrs. Lease.
