- THE ---ALLIANCE.
r" The farmers movement has Assumed
so many forms since its commencement
atut has so many different organizations
that one can scarcely be blamed if he
fails tofceep track of thern all.' It seems
tVjtSHd Question however that there are
alliance men and alliance men and that
there .is the widest possible difference
between them. While the Chronicle
cannot4becoine the organ of any party it
would consider itself unworthy of sup-
: port if did not, on all questions that re
lata Ho the best interests of the farming
and laboring classes, stand shoulder to
Jinnlder with them. But this by no
means involves the 'adoption of every
wild and visionary scheme that is now
' being advocated in their behalf. The
editor ?iof the Chboxicle will heartily
sympaiHize with any movement that
will tend to give the classes referred to
"a Just representation in the National
-Cobgress-or State Legislature, but he
has not. a word of sympathy for a class
of so called alliance men who, while pro
(essing'to denounce both of the old
parties are simply playing into the hands
of oiie'lwhich they have really never
abandoned. The right to form a third
party is unquestioned bnt one loses all
respect for its advocates is, while they
assert their independence of party shack-
. -lea wiU with the same breath, tacitly ac
knowledge themselves satisfied if the
oiovetneA will result in placing one of
' the old parties in power. Weare pleased
to khohowever, that this criticism docs
' not appljrto the Wasco county alliance,
. a a-iotlyi whatever the objects and
opinions Of private members may be. A
highlyi?teemed member of a Wasco
countyjalliance has placed in our, hands
a cop V'f 4he constitution and by-laws
ot the.T?Tfirmers' Alliance," and after a
carefn perusal we are free to say that it
' is in evoryway excellent and worthy of
... oppo jHere is the simple statement
-given'BsWits object: "The objects of
' the Farmers' Alliance are to unite the
farmersVfo? the promotion of their in
terests, socially, politically and financi
.ally. To secure a jnst representation of
the agricultural interests of the country
in theSa(i6nal Congress and the State
Legislature. To demand the prohibition
of alien. rttle and land syndicates and
to opptfse"firi forms-f monopoly, as be
ing detrimental to the best interests of
the public." In the article relating to
the qualification for membership it is
expresfij: populated that no person shall
be adrriftfted1 who is not a farmer, farm
laborer, mechanic, school teacher, coun
" trvphvAn or minister of the gospel
' who doife5t believe in the existence of
a supreme Ijing and is-of industrious
habits. Iif&ther section provides that
there sJigSglie no political or religious
test fqpwnbership. Another article
assertfeflyi is deemed contrary to the
spirit of tUaorder for brothers to go to
law Vftb "each other. Therefore it is
earnestly recommended, when pecuniary
' difficuWep;i! between members, that
they'BtffthrfBe matter amicably among
themselves,'. or failing to do so, by aibi
twtidfl.tif'; the obligation the candi
tlate'spte'mnly avows that he has not
joined the-aJliance from any selfish, im
proper or partisan motive. Assuming
thafft'Ts' rigiht to form secret societies
for political object there is certainly
nothing objectionable in these articles.
We ar assured that the alliances banded
together.jUiuier this constitution while
united fipiiHtical objects, are not par
tisan. itiM'isfembers do not believe in
the. wisdom of the sub-treasury scheme
nor gqvirtifuL-fif. warehouses nor wild in
flation' 4Pler or depreciated silver cur
" rency. Thpy do not believe, in a third
party movement but they do believe in
having 'something to say regarding the
men sent to represent them in the halls
of legislature. And they are right and
. wheh fhe time comes to name candidates j
for office no one will be better - pleased
than the Chronicle, if these alliance
men will demand that only clean, hon
orable and upright men shall be nomi
nated, men who are in touch with the
tillers of the soil and who cannot be
bribed or bought. This they have a
right to demand and it is their duty to
do so and if they are true to one another
they can demand it in a way that will
compel attention!

The iirst estimate of cost of the canal I
and locks at the Cascades was made by
Major Michler in 1875 and called : for j
$700,000 to complete the works. The j
second estimate was made by Major J. .'
M. Wilson in 187S and called for $1,753,
767. The third estimate was made by j
Captain l'owell in -188:1 and called for
$2,4f0,400.v . The fourth estimate was j
made by Captain Powell in 1SS7 and !
called for $2,992,500. The fifth estimate i
was made by Lieut. Burr in 1800 and1
called for $3,623,000. The first appro-j
priation of $90,000 was made in 1876 and j
the work commenced in October, 1878, J
and now after nearly thirteen years have '
passed ono can scarcely hope that thir
teen years "more will see it finished.
This is simply an illustration of the
superiority and efficiency of governmen
tal methods,, and yet there are thous
ands who desire to turn over to the con
trol of the government our railroad
steamboat and telegraph lines under the
misapprehension that they would be
nfanaged more efficiently and more
cheaply than it is possible to do by pri
vate enterprise. The fact is, the gov
ernment is too slow for this fast age.
The work at the locks is fine lieyond con
troversy. It will be a monument to the
engineering skill of Major Handbury
and Lieut. Burr. The trouble is " the
people want a canal, not a monument.
When we start to build monument
Major Handbury won't be in it.
.The impression seems to be generally
prevalent that this country is on the eve
of very prosperous times. The stimliis
that reciprocity has given to our export
trade, added to the immensely increased
European demand for breadstuffs, has
already started a gold movement in this
direction, the effects of which will soon
be felt throngh all the arteries of the na
tion's life. A comparison has been
drawn between the present period and
that immediately following specie re
sumption twelve or thjrtcen years ago.
After a period of liquidation, which, how
. . . , i
ever, W3S lar longer man 11 nas oeen
now,-good crops here and poor ones in
Europe sent the total of our exportatlons
at that time up sharply and started 'a
gold movement in thi9 direction which
gave the country two or three years of
increased business activity and conse
quent prosperous time. AH signs indi
cate that we are on the eve of another
period of business extension and diver
sification. The opinion of the Washington attor
ney general that the reading of theBiblo
in the public schools is. in direct viola
tion of the state constitution may be all
right from a legal standpoint, but if so,
it is all the worse for the constitution.
So long as the constitution of the United
States remains in its present form it is
very questionable if any power can ban
ish the Bible from tne public schools or
anywhere else so long as its use does not
involve a tax upon the public funds. The
Book from which the best men of the
American nation, from Washington to
Lincoln,- drew their inspiration, and
whose moral teaching is the basis of the
nation's greatness, deserves a better fate.
We may not force its use upon others,
To do so is un-American. It might be
left to loeal option. In any case, put
ting it under the ban is retrogression
and not progress.
. The. democrats of Massachusetts have
come ont squarely in favor of an "hon
est dollar." In the convention held yes
terday they adopted a platform declar
ing in favor of "honest nionev." Thev
hold that all dollars coined by the Uni
ted States should be of an equal intrin
sic value, and that all piper currency
issued by the government should be re
deemable iu either gold or silver, at the
option of the holder, and not at the dis
cretion of the secretary of the treasury
The platform opposes tne free and un
limited coinage of silver and all "dan
gerous" silver legislation enacted by the
last congress. Such is the difference be
tween tweedle-dum and twecdle-dee
Were it not for the last - five . words it
would make an: excellent republican
platform. ;
The East Oregonian is a firm believer
in the single tax doctrine and an ardent
worshiper at the-ehrine of Henry George
In a late issue of that journal George's
theory is expounded and indorsed in the
following manner: '"Henry George ad
mits frankly enough that the single tax,
stripped of all extraneous mistiness and
reduced to its simplest elements, is a
policy of land confiscation. He holds
that land is a common enjoyment of
mankind, like air and water, and that
rent is an iniquity. He would abolish
rent by heaping all the taxation upon
land and so compel its owners to pay
back to the people, in form of the state,
all they receive from the public in form
of occopiers or exploiters of the land.
That is, the state will confiscate the rent
frommd. To confiscate the increment
is to confiscate the thing itself,- since a
thing like land has value only for the in
crement it will bring to its owner. The
aim of the single tax is" the distraction
of private property in land." This is
the single tax theory "as expounded by
one of its most ardent admirers and ad
vocates. Farmers of Oregon how do

Sr. Iofis, Sept. 29. A dispatch from
the City of Mexico says a revolution has
been precipitated in the republic of
Guatemala which will unquestionably
become general. A gentleman who left
the city of Guatemala, the morning of
the 16th inst., and who has just reached
this city on horseback from Acapulco,
brings the information of the outbreak
which occurred in Guatemala City on
the loth inst. and wne still in progress
when he left. According to his story the
people in that city were celebrating the
anniversnry of their national holiday.
It appears that- President Barrilas had
personally appointed orators for the
day. To this the masses took exception
and when the orators took the rostrum
it was the signal for a storm of stoned
which set them in flight. Exciting
scenes followed and every known liberal
or Barrilas partisan u as driven from the
plaza. After that the musses elected
their orators and most violent and in
cendiary speeches followed. The news
of the riot spread rapidly and soon Bar
rilas threw a batallion of infantry into
the large square for the purpose of dis
persing the mob.
' They" went in with fixed bayonets and
attempted to carry the plaza by as
sault, but were met with a shower of
stones and bullets from revolvers. This
action of the mob put them them to
flight, leaving many dead and wounded.
Barrilas then ordered artillery into the
plaza and infantry and two canon to
guard his residence. When the guns
were turned on the mob it dispersed.
The people left the plaza but fought in
side the streets, in fact they practically,
during the night of the loth, held full
control of the city, though nt intervals
they were attacked by the infantry, who
shot many of them. It is thought this
will cause" a general revolt throughout
the entire republic of Guatemala and
engender war in all other Central
American states. Strict censorship is
maintained over all press dispatches
and mail has also been trifled , with to
prevent the leaking out of any informa
tion concerning the actual condition of
the country.
Private dispatches to prominent mer
chant of this" city from Newton, say
fully 500 lives have been sacrificed in
four days' fighting in the city of Guate
mala, and that shooting is still going on.
The dispatch also conveys the informa
tion that Barrilas had declared himself
dictator. It is stated that Col. Jobon
has killed General Sauchez, and a
brother of General Sanchez, on learning
of his assassination, shot and killed
Jobon. General Sauchez's brother, was
executed. .The city is under martial
law and a reign of terror prevails, the
inhabitants being afraid to leave their
heuses. ' The residence of President
Barrilas is guarded by soldiers and the
president does not stir abroad unless
guarded by a large force of cavalry.

Low Prices For Hops.
Springfield, Oct. 1. The price for
the new crop of. hops has been forced
down to 12 cents per pound.' But the
Neva England Homestead gives a reason
for believing this is an artificial depres
sion, and that grcwers should get be
tween 15 and 20 cents. Prominent
among the reasons for an advance 13 a
shortage in the Pacific Coast states,
Washington's crop being only half the
enormous production estimated in the
earlier reports.
