ICLE," The Dalles, Oregon.
A short time ago the comptroller of
1 the currency was asked if he thought
any other than the present National
tanking system con Id be devised, which
would offer equal security, and he re
plied, what almost every banker will in
dorse, that he knew of none. "During
the year ending July 1,1891," he added,
4'the losses by reason of failures of state
banks, private bankers and brokers ag
gregated a larger amount than the losses
of all creditors of all the National banks
during the entire twenty-nine years of
the existence of the new system. The
failure of the new Oriental Bank in
.London recently, involved liabilities of
over $23,000,000 which is in excess of
the entire losses sustained since the
National banking system was estab
lished. Other single failures in England
have entailed losses greater than those
experienced by the creditors of the
National banking system during the
whole period of its existence. While
additional safeguards may be devised
and the administration of the law im
proved, still the system as a whole and
as at present administered, is superior
to that of any other -nation."
The ninth annual report of the bureau
of statistics of labor of the state of New
York, about which so much is being
said, contains the result of a special in
vestigation into the effect of the tariff
on labor and wages. Commissioner
Charles F. Feck distributed 8,000 blanks
to aa many wholesale establishments
throughout the state, and of that num
ber 6,000 were returned with full and
correct answers. The period of investi
gation includes the year immediately
prior to the enactment of the McKinley
bill and the year immediately following
its becoming a law. From tabulated
statements accompanying the report, it
appears that there was a net increase in
wages of $6,377,925 in the year 1891 as
compared with the amount paid in 1890,
and a net increase of production of $31.
315,130 in the year over that of 1809. An
analysis of the table further shows that
of the sixty-seven industries covered
therein, 77 per cent of them show an in
crease either of the wages or product, or
both, and that there were 89,717 in
stances of individual increases of wages
during the year.
A correspondent of the London Times,
writing from Hamburg, gives the very
best of reasons for a perpetual quaran
tine against that pest-breeding city,
We quote from cablegram today:
The cisterns are choked with solid
matter: in fact, the chain of pollution
grows with every link ; the water in the
river is cleaner than that in the water
works, cleaner water in the water works
than in the mains, and that in the
mains is cleaner than in the houses, and
only one thing is wanted it was to "pro
vide the entrance of the cholera poison
into the water system. This was ar
raneed. The in-take is so situated that
at flood tide matter from sewerage out
falls can reach it. In Hamburg the
house's sewage runs out at the basement
and in again at the roof, after a little
tdur of the river and water works. This
criminal state of things has been no
torious 15 or 20 years. New water works
were planned, but little else. They are
not likely to be completed for two years.
Whether they will be effective is a ques
tion for the engineers, but the fact
stands that Altona is in a worse position
with regard to sewage, but has escaped
the scourge by virtue of having a power
ful water works.
Berlin, perhaps to prevent similar
disasters, has, created a new board of
health which has resolved to apply the
new epidemic law to Asiatic cholera,
yellow fever, Oriental plague, typhoid
disease, dysentery, smallpox, diphtheria,
scarlet fever, measles, influenza, menin
gitis, puerperal fever, tuberculosis,
syphilis, leprosy, infectious eye disease,
all diseases of animals communicable to
man, such as anthrax, hydrophobia,
glanders and trichinosis, malarial fever,
choleric diarrhoea of children and the
following diseases when they become
epidemic: Inflammation of the lungs,
erysipelas, parasitic skin diseasee, can
cerous growths, scorbutic diseases and
pellagra. It was decided to make com
pulsory the reporting of such diseases
to the authorities, but the question of
whether it should be made compulsory
to report every case, or when the cases
become numprous, was left open. .
THE LAND OF SHODDY.
There are, according to the official
British report under the factories and
workshops act, 125 shoddy mills in Great
Britain, employing 4503 hands. In
the United States,' according to the
last census . report, there were
93 ' shoddy mills, employing 2266
hands. It is estimated that the
British shoody mills turn out four times
as much shoddy aa is consumed by all
the manufacturing establishments in
this country. English authorities show
that Great Britain manufactured of raw
wools, domestic and imported, in 1889,
469,270,200 pounds. That country ex
ported manufactures of wool in excess
of those imported in the same year 207,
180,176 pounds. Her people consumed,
therefore, 262,081024 pounds, a per cap
ita consumption for her 3S,000,000 people
of 6.3 pounds. In 1890 the per capita
consumption of the people of the United
States was 9.7 pounds. Here is what a
notorious tariff reform textile journal
says of the quality of the American goods
under the new tariff: "The supply of
American dress fabrics for the spring of
1892 will eclipse in magnitude and ele
gance the output of all previous seasons.
It will include a much greater produc
tion of all-wool goods, besides a larger
and very much hansomer variety of
mixed materials. The factor of greatest
importance in imparting new life to this
branch of textile manufacturing is the
large decrease in the importations of
foreign dress goods." Dry Goods Econo
mist, October 14, 1891.
That does not read like a stimulation
of shoddy, does it? Better goods and
cheaper goods are the rule since the new
tariff passed.
The announcement is unexpectedly
made that Mr. William Dean Howells,
foremost man of letters in America and
:o-editor of the Cosmopolitan, has re
signed his editorial position and will ap
ply himself exclusively to his writings.
As Mr. Howells but recently accepted
that position the report is surprising.
In any event it is of moment to note
that a man engaged in creating great
works of literature is probably not doing
best by himself when he pickets himself
in an editor's chair. From the famous
men of the old Spectator down, authors
have found this out sooner or later. Mr.
Howells' business is to make stories not
to improve the quality of American
magazines, even though there are enor
mous possibilities in that line of en
deavor. Besides, in the act of .quitting
his job, to put it elegantly, Mr. Howells
has acquired a new experience, run
through a new gamut of human emo
tions and possibly found another thrill
ing incident to be embalmed in litera
ture.
The democrats will have another job
on their hands now and Commissioner
Peck, of New York, can take a little
rest. Mr. Horace G. Wadlin has fur
nished a report for the democratic gov
ernor of Massachusetts and evidences
the fact that Massachusetts has been
benefitted by the wise provisions of the
McKinley bill as well as New York. In
presenting his report, Mr. Wadlin dealt
with - 4,865 establishments possessing a
total value of $669,935,835. The number
of wage earners were 325,724 in 1891 and
318,216 in . 1890, two-thirds males and
one-third females. The total wages in
1891, $129,416,248, and in 1890, $126,0S0,-
303, an increase of $3,335,945. The
average yearly earnings Increased nearly
one per cent.
Speaking of land grants bestowed up
on corporations by the general govern
ment, the Review savs the grant to the
Illinois Central, the measure of which
Douglas, the great national democrat,
was the father, was in fact the most
valuable land grant ever given to any
railway corporation. It consisted of
over 2,500,000 acres through the center
of the state of Illinois, everv rod. of
which was as fertile as any garden plat
in the Inland Empire. Compared with
this grant the desert land along the
transcontinental railroads is of trifling
value.

An illustration of the difference be
tween a free trade editor when talking
free trade and a free trade editor, when
talking sense, is given by the following
extract from a labor day editorial In the I
Times, of which Col. A. K. McClnre is
the editor : "The cold facts are that the
working classes in this country are so
much better off than elsewhere that the
working people of the old countries
crowd every immigrant ship to share in
their prosperity. The working people
enjoy more privileges and enjoy more
prosperity in this country than. in any
other, and enjoy them in greater meas
ure now than at any former period."
We wonder if Col. McClnre would have
talked in this vein had he been given
the chance to engage in joint debate
with Gov. McKinley.
Senator Felton, of California, in an
interview in San Francisco last week,
predicted that the United States will
have to go to war with the Chinese em
pire if the United States insists on a
strict enforcement: of the Geary registra
tion law. The Chinese empire claims
that law is in violation of international
rights and ought not be tolerated, and it
will resent any strict enforcement of the
same on the part of the United States.
Traveling men visiting the great Fa
Jonse country report a wonderful im
provement in tbe volume of business
being done there since the grain crop
commenced to move. The wheat is not
flowing into market very rapidly as yet,
but every one seems to have plenty of
money and there is a good feeling gener
ally prevalent among the merchants.
The Great Northern tunnel under the
Cascades will be an engineering feat of
no small magnitude. The boring will be
two miles in length and it will take two
years to. complete the work. When the
tracks are laid through the tunnel an
electric plant will be lighted throughout.
In the meantime the line will be run
over the mountains by a series of grades
so as not to delay the establishment of
communication with the coast. After
the completion of the tunnel the line
vrill be diverted to run through it, a
course which .will save considerable time
as well as expenditure for motive power.

Certain labor agitators teach that the
mills, mines, factories, etc., belong to
the employes whose labor created them
as much as the capitalists in whom is
vested the title. With equal reason the
capitalists might claim he laborer's
cottage because his money built it. We
in this country, says the Garfield Enter
prise, put our labor on the market in the
shape of wheat. Would it benefit us to
blow up a few elevators and shoot the
wheat buyers -when the price offered
not satisfactory?
