A BLOW TO LABOR.
From a recent iseue of. Bradstreet'a we
learn that the railroads of the country
dnring the first half of the present year,
showed very satisfactory aggregate gains
over last year. The total gross earnings
of 145 companies, operating abont two.
thirds of the country's railroad mileage
were $349,099,773, a gain of 3.6 per cent,
over the first half of 1894, while the net
earnings aggregated $10,767,786 a gain
of 8.1 per cent., or more than twice the
proportion of gain in gross earnings. ,
Tt is very evident from the above
figures that the railroads have learned a
tmng or two about reducing expenses
and at the same time working with the
same efficiency. The great difference
in per cent, gain between the gross
and net earnings represents the amount
the Methodist church has wrestled with
this problem, which now is nearer eola
tion than ever before. '' The ladies are
winning many supporters and as no
valid reason exists why they should not
be allowed to mingle in the deliberations
of a church of which they form the great

lowered. The conference at Spokane
took action favorable to the admission
of women and itis expected the Portland
meeting will not lag behind.

The total production of wheat in the
import countries for 1895 is estimated at
749,422,000 bushels, and the production

Mr. Ireland is generally so correct in
his statements and conclusions that the
above quotation of warrants is surpris
ing. Wasco county warrants long ago
reached par and for the last three
months have been selling at 1 per cent
premium with more people ready to bay
than there are to sell. It is no discredit
to Sherman county to say its warrants
are not so eagerly sought as those of its
older neighbor.
against an excess of exports in August
1894, of $9,079,075. . This -difference be
tween the two months is amply sufficient
to explain wby the gold is leaving the
country and a further bond issue deemed
inevitable. The net amount of gold ex
ported daring last August was $15,159,

evil resalts that has oue to labor by
the workings of a free trade administra
tion. Great corporations have been
compelled to practice the closest econ
omy, and have learned how better to
persons from all walks of life. In Euro
pean countries the fetes and fairs have
become fixtures in the life of the people,
while in America they have been al
lowed to degenerate in horse racing
exhibitions. The general interest that
is being taken in the State Fair is a sign
that people are taking more interest in

the trouble, for when once people have
learned to practice economy and have
found out they can do without certain
thing's, or certain help, will continue
their economic methods hereafter. The

in 1892 will be a long time in being
corrected. '

Do you doubt that hundreds of such cases
