THE DALLES WEEKLY CHRONICLE, SATURDAY, NOVEMBER 25, 1893 The Weekly Ghroniele. OFFICIAL PAPEK OF WASCO rOCNTY. UORTOX AXL THE GRAXGES. mfcretarv Morton, of the department of agriculture, is one of President Cleve land's cabiuet officers who seems to con ceive it to be a part of hia duty to make war upon the grange organizations. He faaa stirred theui up by some sneering and unjust reference to them in a speech which he made at the world's fair agri cultural consrress, and the farciers are showing their resentment of it. The secretary of agriculture has evi dentlv mistaken the character of the grange organizations and presumes that the farmers are collectively ignorant. He has declared that these organizations are the enemies of the farmers' best in tereresta. So far as Pennsylvania is concerned this is grossly untrue, and we have no reason to suppose it is different generally. The grangers here have served the farmers a most excellent purpose in promoting social intercourse, n interchange of experience which has improved farm work and broadened the methods of farmers. It has not been an organization for interference with what did not concern the farmer, and it has in many ways been the means of improv ing the condition of the farmer. The grange was chiefly instrumental in securing the establishment of the de partment of agriculture, but the secre tary seems disposed to demonstrate that this was a mistake. It was, if all who were placed at the head of the depart ment should be like the present secre tary ; but fortunately that has not been the case. Both Secretary Colmau and Secretary Rusk had some knowledge of what was required of them. They did not go about the country scolding and sneering at farmers because they do not vote the democratic ticket and because, like people in almost every other pur suit, they find some advantage In organi zation. They sought to encourage and promote the interests of the farmer and, being practical men with a knowledge of what was required, they were not al ways without success. Secretary Morton is a very different kind of man. lie is a professional poli tician and has been such for a quarter of a century. He has neither fitness for the position he occupies nor the com monest understanding of the farmers' interests. He evidently believes his principal duty to be toinstruct the farm er how he shall behave politically, and the average farmer generally has a much more intelligent idea of that duty than a bourbon politician, such as Mr. Cleveland's secretary of agriculture. There have been no ill-advised political movements on the part of the farmers that have not been encouraged by demo cratic demagogues, and they complain only when the farmers' organizations cannot be bentto their partisan purpose. The grange is not a partisan organi zation and that is evidently what has aroused Secretary Morton s opposition j to it. He can be certain that it will not SXOH'ED CXDER. Editor Chronk i-k The statesman who enunciated the sentiment that "the sober second thoughts of the eople are seldom wrong but always efficient" would have had ample justification in his doctrine if he had been alive at the election that has just elapsed. The people had become discontented with their prosperity and they were be guiled into the belief that a change ! would be for the better, that the deuio- era tic party would give them a chauge I dm! Kl. nK.iilt InnMMlUil ttrftd IMrl t X Confiding in that promise, numbers of republicans supported that party and elected Mr. Cleveland president of the United States on the democratic plat- form, but that platform, threatening the protective principle, and that a mass of "wild cat and red dog" currency should I be let loose on the business world j alarmed the people, and called a halt. I The republican party reminded me of the unfortunate gentleman who caused to be carved on his tombstone : "I was well, wanted to be better, Took medicine, and here I am." The medicine they took was a little too strong and did not agree with them. They were like the patients of Doctor Sangrado, who had written a book, eulogizing bleeding and hot water, as re lated in nil. Blag. The doctor's patients all died, but the patients of the doctors who did not follow Sangrado's theories all got well. The Sangrado democracy have written percent, of reported European stocks of gold. Ciold is at a premium in Brazil and other South American countries, Spain, Italy and Austria. The United States treasury shows less gold for re demption purposes. than at any previous period since resumption of specie pay ments. A dollar will now practically buy more necessities than ever the world over. The Oregouian speaks hopefully of the morals of Portland, now that such vices as the Mercury and pugilism have been squelched. It says: "There is much to commend in the administration of crim inal justice in Portlaud for the last year. Social evils have been abolished that were traditionally held to be inexpunga ble. Pugilism has been routed aud the Mercury crushed. Thisencourages hopes that would have been thought vain a year ago. Perhaps the variety theaters will go next, prostitution will be limited and gambling forced to take to cover. It is too much to expect that thete forms of vice will be abolished; but it is not unreasonable to wish that they should be forced to hide, as they do in other cities." I CVRREXT PRESS COM.VEXTS.

It reads as follow "We denounce republican protection as a fraud, a robbery of the great majority of the people for the benefit of the few. "We declare it to be a fundamental principle of the democratic party that the federal government has no constitu tional power to impose and collect tariff duties except for the purpose of revenue only, and we demand that the collection of such taxes shall be mited to the necessities of the government when honestly and economically ad ministered." In addition to the foregoing they added: "We denounce the MeKinley tariff law enacted bv the Fiftv-first con gress, as the culminating atrocity of class legislation, and that we promise its repeal as one of the beneficent results that will follow the action of the people in entrusting power to the democratic party."

Blount, Cleveland and (iresh I am have made the common error of over stating their cae. They have sought their information among the dusky satellites and hangers-on of an opera boutTe court, and have been influenced by British rather than American inter ests. All the territory now embraced in the states of Washington, Oregon, and Idaho, says the Spokane Review, was once un der a provisional government. Pioneers of American birth ran up the American nag and knocked for admission to the Union. Then, as now in Hawaii. Brit ish interests came very near prevailing, but the Americans won by a scratch, ana trie vast territorv ot uregon was eagerly taken into the Union fold, and the natives were not consulted either. It was a lucky thing for the United States that a Cleveland was not then in the presidential chair. THE MARKETS. exist when it shall be in the farmers' in-1 ,,,e" ,,,,e " ",e ou,eT terests to abolish it. At nreaent the best I 8tate8' 811,1 81Te" Governor Kussell leave interests of the farmers seems to be in the abolition of Morton. Blonnt lied to please Cleveland, and Cleveladd expected him to lie if the truth wouldn't please. Capt. Cleveland has wrecked the demo cratic party, with all on board, and gone down beneath the waves himself. Minieter Thurston has published a lengthy statement in answer to Para mount Blount's report, in which he con victs that gentleman of promulgating some untruths, and establishes the fact that the revolution was accomplished without any interference from U. S. marines. The American people will ap preciate Mr. Thurston's candor and plain-spokenness at any rate. This is what they are accustomed to, instead of the secrecy, intrigue and deception with which Cleveland, Blount, et a!., now stand convicted in this Hawaiian affair. If all papers like tiie Mercury in the United States were forced to suspend publication It would be well for the gen eral morality of the country; and the (act that they are occasionally roughly bandied by the courts shows the detesta tion in which they ore held by the morally inclined. They are companion able only to the ignorant and the vicious, nd their influence can only tend to make these more so. As surely as water seeks its level, so all people who revel in reading the Mercury exhibit their prefer ence for the immorality of which it is representative. Everything grows with what it feeds on, and any person who habitually reads the Mercury molds his mind in channels of crime and lust. The Mercury's circulation was chiefly in the saloons and brothels, and it is a pleasure to say that none of the best people in Portland would tolerate it in their homes, and it will be conceded without argument that any devout be liever in the religion of Jesus Ciirist was not a purchaser of the Mercury. Tint Ciiboniclb did not exchange with the Mercury and never quoted from it, and while it may have been lion, Tn CiiHo.ticLK never acknowledged it as such. to withdraw from public life. New Jersey has rebuked the race track gamblers by 22,r'i22 plurality. Other states have passed their seal of condemnation on the book containing the democratic platform. The "change" was too great ; it was abhorrent to the American people and when it necessitated tlie stoppage of mills, furnaces, forges and manufac tories, and brought about the creation of soup houses, the sad emblems of a dis tressed people, the people rose in their majesty and said: "We have had enough of democratic policy. Eight months of that policy has been sufficient for us, and we will return to the republi can policy, which has given us good wages and enabled us to live and bring up our families with peace and comfort." To add to the maladministration of President Cleveland we are informed that contrary to all precedents he pro poses to set up the throne of the (Jneen Lilluokalani. We have never recognized any but governments de Jnetti. Unless a government has power of self mainten ance we do not admit it into the family of nations. Thus we recognized thegovern mentsof France, and that of the successor of Dom Pedro and other similar cases. This action may lead to hostilities and embroil us with either the power of the queen or with the provisional govern ment. Let us hope that the president i has a justification for his action and that he may make it manifest. Congress alone has the right to declare war and the president's action seems to be pre mature. T.

The wealth of the United States is estimated at about $1,000 per capita, or 67 million. The annual value of its product is about 10 billion ; about 12 per cent, of this is paid for transportation of persons and property ; all of it is the gift of nature, through the instruments of hand and brain. American railways show aggregate earnings since January 1st, are but a small percentage less than in 1802. It is reported there are 117 pig iron furnaces in blast, against 241 last year; that steel rails are selling at $21 against $.'i0 in 1802, and $120.50 in 1873.

There has been no change of note iu anything. Eggs are very scarce in the market, and ISO cts. per dozen cash is freely paid. The market is well stocked with iruit and all kinds of vegetables and former quotations Rre unchanged. The grain market continues steady and presents no new phases worth noting. Eastern markets have a better tone in the last few days. The iiears have it all their own way, however, as the hulls teem too timid to attack the great den. Clapp &.
