OUR MERCHANT MARINE.
From "Washington today we have the
annual report ot the commissioner of
. navigation, in which is advanced some
new ideas as to w hafts most needed to
improve our merchant marine. Com
O'Brien expresses the opinion that the
exclusion of foreign vessels from partici
' pation in onr domestic and coastwise
commerce, provided by the art of 1873,
' has alone saved our ship-building and
shipping interests from ruin, and that
in the absolutely protected branch of
our merchant marine we have attained
Success in nautical affairs far surpassing
. those of any other nation on the globe.
. He says :
"While American steam navigation
has been entirely driven from the trans
atlantic trade, it survives on the Pacific
ocean, first for the reason that American
trans-Pacific lines are liable to sustain
themselves through the association with
n absolutely protected steamer line be
tween New York and San Francisco,
and the benefit of protection which
arises from their association with a
transcontinental railway line." The
commissioner, however, calls attention
to what he regards a threatning danger
on the Pacific and says it is the fact that
the dominion has enabled the Canadian
. Pacific railway to con6trnet its line
across the continent and place on the
Pacific ocean a line of steamers which
receives from the Canadian and British
governments an annual subsidy of $400,
000 a year, which is five times the amount
paid annually to American steamers
: carrying to and from Asia, which several
times exceed in magnitude the mails
carried by the Canadian lines. He re-1
gards this as an assault upon the dig
nity, as well as upon the commercial
and shipping interests of the United
States, and as a protective measure rec
ommends the imposition ot a discrimin
ating duty upon Asiatic goods when
imported into the United States from
Canada.
While the tonnage of American built
vessels employed in the protected do
mestic trade of the country has ad
vanced, the unprotected foreign com
. merce branch of our merchant marine
lias declined. He does not regard the
measures of relief already adopted as
adequate to the restoration of American
shipping engaged in foreign commerce,
The commissioner says : "The adoption
of the policy proposed by the house
-committee on merchant marine and
fisheries for admitting foreign built ves
sels to both our domestic and foreign
trade would inflict upon the ship-building
and ship-owning interests a more
severe blow than it received from con
federate cruisers during the late war."
DESERTED THE SHIP.
The democracy have done it. They
have fallen 1y the wayside in Oregon ;
ignominkrasly driven to eat crow, and
compelled, to swallow the dregs of de
feat before meeting the opposing forces,
"It is the only thing for us to do," says
Chairman Dan Murphy ; one of that
stamp of politicians whose proclama
tion : ; "I am a democrat," will-hence
forth be received with very considerable
scepticism. But the fiat issued from the
national democratic committee com
manding it, and the weak kneed elect
ors withdraw from the contest, surren
dering whatever political integrity they
may have had. These machine leaders
will learn by next Tuesday night that
the voting element of Oregon democracy
is made of sterner stuff than they have
reckoned, and will cast their ballots for
what they consider a principle above
the one idea of "anything to beat Harri
son." It is an insult to be told in so
many words: "Leave your ship; let
the old hulk sink; get on board the
Weaver craft ; sacrifice your time-honored
principles and indorse the Omaha
platform ; if Weaver can carry Oregon
by such methods." Mr. Murphy may
believe himself to be "as good a demo
crat as there is in the state of Oregon,''
and he may consider himself competent
to Epeak for republicans in the third
party, but he should be advised of one
sure thing, that his zeal for machine
politics makes the motive so transpar
ent that it will produce nausea in many
parts of the populist camp even, where
honesty of purpose is paramount in the
minds of the voter to low down trickery
and political vagrancy.
INCREASE OF WAGES.
. These are the ' days when cold facte
and figures talk for the McKinley bill,
and when the calamity ehriekers ' are
finding themselves stranded here and
there' without an occupation. Recently
some interesting statistics from the
democratic Boston Herald regard
ing the marked - increase in 'the
manufactures of that city, as well as in
the number of men employed and
the yearly wages received by them, were
published. Now the census office comes
forward with official bulletins covering
the manufacturing of sixteen cities, and
showing the advance that has been
made within the past decade both by
the manufacturers and the workingmen.
The record is a cheery one:
Per cap.

. Isn't it nearly time the democracy
were fortifying their calamity talk with
a few authentic statistics in substantia
tion of the of t-asserti?-! claim that pro
tection stifles indnsti'v and reduces
wages? Here are sixteen cities wherein
wages have increased since 18S0. It will
be a long time before the democracy will
find ten cities showing a decrease.

There's a patent medicine which is
not a patent medicine paradoxical as
that may sound. Its a discovery ! the
golden discovery of medical science ! - Its
the medicine for you tired, run-down,
exhausted, nerve-wasted men and wo
men ; for you sufferers from diseases of
ekin or scalp, liver or lungs its chance
is with every one, its season always,
because it aims to purify the fountain
of life the blood upon which all such
diseases depend. The medicine is Dr,
Pierce's Golden Medical Discovery,
The makers of it have enough confi
dence in it to sell it on trial. That.is
you can get it from your druggist, and
if is doesn't do what its claimed to do,
you can get your money back, every cent
of it' ,
That's what its makers call taking 'the
rink of their words.
J. F. Borkelaw and Frank M. Conroy
of Brooklvn, N. ., left Ogden last
month to examine the territory of the
cliff dwellers. While following a narrow
trail above a gorge, Conroy's pack mule
became fractions and they both went
.. . . ,
over the precipice togetner. vonruy
lighted on a ledge of rock, wounded,
near an eagle's nest and the old birds
attacked him, tearing him with beak
and talons, and he finally fell oft the
rock siml was dashed to pieces below.
His companion returned alone to Odgen
yesterday.

The wheat brigade at Latah was photo
graphed the other morning, when over
60 teams were in line waiting to unload.
Representations of the warehouses, filled
to overflowing, and the long train of
grain ladened wagons will prove effective
immigration documents in eastern sec

That the fact was not ascertained un
til after the wreck arid loss of many
lives, that the Rotimania was unsea
worthy, causes a suspicion that the
British are not so careful about marine
inspections as the Plimsolls and Lloyds
would have the world believe.
The committee designated by the
treasury department last August to es
tablish a dividing line between shearling
sheepskins, the wool on which has no.
commercial value and may be admitted
free, and those on which the wool is
sufficiently long to be subject to classifi
cation and subsequently to duty, has
reported that the "wool on all shearling
has a commercial value, but from inves
tigations made by this committee we are
of the opinion that the wool on shearling
sheepskins, which does not exceed a
quarter of an inch in length on the body
of the pelt, is of such little value that all
should be passed free of duty ; that all
shearling skins where the wool exceeds a
quarter of an inch in length 'should be
subject to duty." This conclusion has
been adopted as a rule of the depart
ment, and all collectors have been so
notified. ..
Forty blocks of lov lands lying along
the river front in East Portland are to
filled in at an early day. The estimated
cost will be ?300,000, and the work will
increase the value of the property to at
leastifl.COO.OOO. The Bowers dredge will
pump gravel and sand from the river
upon the land and the harbor along that
side will thereby be greatly improved.
The prices of tinplate are lower in
Great Britain than ever before in the
history of the trade. This is due to
American competition and to the neces
sity the foreign iimnufacturerjfinds him
self under of paying the tariff upon ship
ments to this country. The weekly tin
plate report of Liverpool says that 180
mills are idle in Wales and will continue
idle until the workmen assent to a re
duction of wages.
Pheep throughout the Inland Empire
are in excellent condition. As there are
but few for sale their price is advancing.
There is an unlimited quantity of feed
in the country and owners are "well

The only authentic portrait of Colum
bus is as plentiful as the tree under
which Washington tied his horse, and
the original mugwump. People remark
that no two pictures of Columbus look
alike. Let them remember what change
only a few years make in an ordinary
man, and then reflect what must be the
results of four centuries.
A Denver dispatch says that Dr. A. J
Overbelt and Silas Hutchett, two of the
electors on the Weaver ticket, refused to
permit their names to be used as the
head of the Cleveland democratic ticket.
Their action is embarrassing in view of
the fact that the Clevelandites have
withdrawn their electors and substituted
populist electors.
The people of Washington will see to
it that John L. Wilson is reelected to
congress, for they believe that one good
term deserves another. .No state ever
had a more faithful and industrious rep
resentative than Congressman Wilson,
and having proved hid' eminent fitness
for the position it would be a serious loss
, to the state to fail to re-elect him.
The discovery of valuable coal fields
near Auourn, in liaker county, is report
ed, and preparations are being made to
develop the property on a large scale.
Heretofore no coal veins found in that

The western tariff association is dead
and will wind up its affairs today.
Meanwhile various schemes have been
suggested for the organization of a new
association, and the committee in charge
of the work will meet on the 10th to con
sider the subject.
A ledge of tin four feet thick discov
ered in Idaho has been traced half a
mile. 3Ir. Schermerhorn does not know
what the percentage of tin is, but he
states that sample sent to authorities on
the subject have been pronounced very
fine. -
Robert Louis Stevenson has organized
a literary club among the Samoans.
The reason for the innovation is not ap
parent to the natives. A literary club
is not good to eat. . '
It is the universal verdict that politics
is suffering from an overdose of apathy
administered at the hands of the voting
public.
The wheat blockade in Chicago and
New York is explained in our local mar
ket quotations today by an excerpt from
Mark Lane Express. Millers of Great
Britain are bidding low, confident that
our great surplus must go to them.
There is a lack of cars for the same rea
sons that there is a lack of tonnage on
the lakes, viz : "the elevators are filled
to the eves." In conversation with
railway traffic manager on this subject
he says the only "remedy against "car
hoarding," which is equally as vexations
in time of a blockade as the blockade its
elf, is to make a national association for
car service, such as' the Ross system on
the Burlington line. Exactly the same
principles could be made to apply be
tween the members of a national asso
ciation as Mr. Ross applies to the divi
sions of the Burlington. This would
practically pool the cars of the members,
but each would benefit largely by guar
anteed freedom from a car famine. In
this way also no line could be crippled
for lack of cars unless all other lines
were equally crippled. It would be the
duty of the chairman to shift the cars
where there is the greatest demand.
This would result in an infinitely super
ior service to the public and the cry of
favoritism between shippers in times of
car shortages would be forever stopped.
It is scarcely believable, but there is an
excess o.f cars twenty-five percent, above
the needs of traffic during any year in
the history of railroads. When the lines
in one territory are crowded those in
another may have their sidetracks full
of idle cars. A national car service
association vould almost completely do
away with this difference by finding use
for the idle cars. Why the plan has not
been adopted is a standing mystery
among railroad men. Perhaps it is the
Arkansas man's reason for not building
a roof. ,
