ENGLISH
VERSUS
WOOLENS.
AMERICAN
In the Yorkshire worsted towns every
one is blessing the so-called Wilson law.
The shallow free-trader at home, who is
throwing bouquets at himself because he
believes free wool will help the Ameri'
can manufacturer in securing a foreign
market for his goods, is treated wilh de-
rision in the hotela and coffee-rooms
g regale. Instead of sitting up nights
worrying about what .the' American
woolen manufacturer will do now he has
free wool, the Bradford man is keeping
his mills open all nieht trying in vain to
snpplv the increased demand for British
manufactured goods.! I was authority
' lively told that tn many important lines
of goods the Bradford worsted mills can
supply no more orders earlier tha"u next
February.
TJnde.- euch conditions it would indeed
be ctrarae if the American manufacturer
could not secure a slice of pie. Hence
' the fact that our own worsted mills are
fairly prosperous, or rather have resumed
business after a period of great depres
sion.
How long will it last?
Within the next 30 or 60 days 25,000,
000 pounds of wool will come in from
England alone and displace that much
of our merino and cross bred wool. The
wool grower of Ohio, Michigan, West
Virginia, Western Pennsylvania, will
feel this competition severely. He has
been having some years of famine and
low prices and now, that in the natural
course or things a year ot plenty Das
come, he finds the foreigner on an equal
footing in the richest part of the pasture
enjoying it with htm.
"But tho price of wool has gone up,"
-says the free-trader, "under the free
-wool law and it went down under the
.McKinley law."
This is undoubtedly true, but a mo
anent's reflection will show the-fallacy of
this line of argument. The price of wool
went down aa soon as the free wool was
threatened. The wool buyers simply
discounted legislation and the present
temporary demand is. bound to send the
price up, perhaps by September, another
15 per cent. The question is not the
momentary price, but how long will it
remain up, and how soon will the pres
ent abnormal demand for worsted and
woolen goods be able to absorb alike the
enormous free importations of wool and
of manufactures of wool at reduced rates
of duties. I spoke to some of my British
friends about the yarn which our enter
prising and enthusiastic free trade con
sul at Bradford stated to the effect that
we were exporting worsted or woolen
goods to Bradford or England.
They simply roared with laughter
until I feared one rather stout gentle
man would be seized with a fit of apoplexy.-
A sample may have been sent
or some specialty. Nothing more.
Whatever may be said of eome other in
dustries and I have always been will
ing to acknowledge American eupreni
acry over England when genuine Eng
land ran beat us in woolen goods and
will for some years to come. The condi
tions are all against us at the present
time. A duty of 40 to 45 per cent, ad
valorem with the increased opportunities
which the present iniquitious law gives
for undervaluations, will give England
the cream of our worsted and woolen in
dustry. If there is a woolen mauufac
turer in the United States who will deny
this statement or modify or qualify it
the World will gladly give him space to
do so. The struggle has not begun yet
and may not for 12 months and the good
times may eyen last longer. When the
warehouses are again filled and the
stocks throughout the country replen-
ished, and the demand for wool to make
up shortage stops, the ravages of the
wool and woolen schedule of the present
democratic tariff law will be better ap
preciated and more clearly understood.
The free-trade liar is abroad in the land
and noisily po'inting to the busy factor
ies and increasing wages. Let him also
look at the increased importations and
explain how long this will continue
without glutting the market and bring
ing prices down with a crash. R. P. P.

from the European markets to compete
with the northwestern states."
Those familiar with the wheat situa
tion on the Pacific coast are aware that
the grain fields of Washington and Ore
gon are nearer the great markets for
wheat and flour than are those of the
middle west. Ships from all parts of the
world anchor almost within sound of the
thresher and were the railroads propor
tionately reasonable in making this short
haul as they are in the long haul from
the other grain producing centers this
country would speedily take that pre
cedence wich it is destined eventually to
assume by dint of energy and natural
advantages.
Mills are growing up on this coast that
rival in capacity and perfection of ma'
chinery the best in the region to which
Mr. Murtfeldt refers. This is the natural
point of supplies for China and Japan,
while ships from Liverpool and other
foreign ports are daily seen in' these
waters.
The wheat industry of this coast has
suffered severely by reason of combines
and adverse railroad discriminations, bat
it will survive. And, notwithstanding
the erroneous impressions entertained
by such friendly observers as Mr. Murt
feldt, it is gratifying to witness the grow
ing interest among the intelligent people
of the older states in the resources and
possibilities of this majestic empire.

THE -'OREGON" TESTIMONIAL.
WHEATS WESTWARD MARCH.
In a written article for the St. Louis
Republic Charles W. Murtfeldt traces
the march of wheat culture from the
'North river to the Pacific coast; He
falls into error, however, in presuming
that "while Washington and Oregon are
splendid -wheat states, they are too far
An effort is being made throughout
the state of Oregon to collect $10,000 for
the purpose of buving a set of silver
ware with which to adorn the dining'
room of the battleship Oregon. The
newspapers of the state have comment
ed upon the subject variously, eome
taking the position that to donate such
a sum would-be an act of wasting, while
others approve tne project, saying the
lesson on patriotism to the children of
the state will ' be worth the price paid
The committee which has the matter in
charge, earnestly believe the idea a good
one, and in order to fairly present their
side of the case, The Chronicle prints
the address prepared by the testimonial
committee to the people of the state,
Following is the address :
The committee appointed by the gov
ernor of the state to devise ways and
means of presenting to the battleship
Oregon a suitable testimonial as a me
mento from our state and people, beg
leave to call the attention of our patriotic
citizens to tne tact tnat tne general gov
eminent, oi tne united states lias hon
ored our elate by giving its name to one
of its newest and best armored vessels.
And as we are the recipients of this
honor, we should, in eome suitable man
ner, manifest our appreciation of it and
demonstrate, by oar action, our thank
fulness that in a navy so small as our
own, our Btate has been selected by the
powers that control to receive so signal
and gteat an honor, that a battleship of
the most modern design and greatest
effectiveness tnat American skill has
thus far been able to conceive, and
wherein the highest type of American
workmanship and scientific effort cul
minates, should bear the name of the
matchless vales and mountains, which,
to us, mean Oregon, and that the name
so dear to us shall be carried bv this
battleship to the far-away shores of the
stranger, in all climes and seas, and be
come the mailed patrol of liberty, bear
ing our flag, that it may be honored in
every land.
it is a time-honored custom that who
ever Bhall be honored in giving his name
to a vessel in the merchant marine,
should make eome fitting present to the
ship, captain and crew of the vessel
that bears his name, and will carry it
through her every scene of labor and
success. How much more, then, should
this custom be complied with when a
state is honored as our own has been in
the naming of this battleship?
Tkn i .i .
The npbuilding of the new navv of the
United States is the keynote of a higher
power and civilization than we have
ever reached in the competition of
nations. New ships of a design ap
proved by the naval Dowers of the world
are being called into existence, officered
and manned, and placed in commission
for the maintenance of taw and right, so
that a policy of peace may be main
tained with, all the world, without en
tanglements or loss of national honor:
and without the thought of conquest or
territorial aggrandizement, demonstrat-
ng that a nation, a republic of over 60.-
000,000 ot human beings, can live and be
prosperous without infringing the laws
of a weaker nation, and by being firm
and true to its constitutional rights and
fundamental doctrines, exhibit to all
mankind that it Would be iust. and in
order to be just we must be strong.
Had the navv of the United States
been in the same efficiency and power as
it is today, the Chili episode would have
been impossible, and were the naval
power of our nation at the standard it
should be, and which it must reach in
the near future, the occupation of an
important city of a friendly nation on
our own continent would never have
been permitted.
Ihe story of the nations of the earth
reaches but one conclusion, no matter
now good and excellent the laws may
be, or how well they may be adminis
tered, if the power to enforce them be
lacking. The laws of nations may be
equitable, but the power to enforce
them, so far as our own land is con
cerned, must lay within our navy, or
the nation must be dishonored. It can
not be otherwise.
The recent conflict between China and
Japan is simply the story of a modern
navy, well organized and effectively
carrying out the orders dt its govern
ment against a navy .without a proper
organization and a centralized power of
control. The lesson to ourselves, the
citizens of the' United States, is the ne
cessity for continued watchfulness on
our institutions, a vigilance as to our
growth and prosperity and ethcient or
ganization of naval power, and to ad
monish us to build up ourselves and
those who are to follow afler us, in every
way possible, with that patriotism and
love of our country that has always been
the guiding star of our people.
inerefore, to this end, let every citi
zen of our state see to it that the honor
bestowed upon us as a state, by the gen
eral government, shall be returned by
presenting- to the officers and crew of
the battleshio Oregon a suitable me
mento.' a fitting memorial, that wher
ever the ship shall sail, this merhorial
shall form with her a part, a token that
the hopes and faith of our people are
ever with her.
The committee having this matter in
charge estimate the cost of such memo
rial at $10,000, the same to be raised in
the thirty-two counties of the state by
subscription, from incorporated cities
and towns, from the various county or
ganizations within the state, from the
school children of every district and
every parish. The lesson of patriotism
could not be better instilled in the mind
of the child or citizen than that each
and everyone within our borders shall
have a patriotic, personal 'and financial
interest in this ship
"So stripes might stream and stars might soar
The glories of thv chosen name.
This memorial should be completed
and ready for presentation about JNO'
vember 15, 1895, and it is of importance
that all mayors of cities and incorpor
ated towns, officers of chambers of com
merce, officers of county organizations
and superintendents of schools in every
district arud parish, should place them
selves in communication with the com
mittee, or its chairman, so that this
work be at once prosecuted conscien
tiously and successfully.
The thought suggests itself that the
officers are not the only men aboard the
warship entitled to recognition.. In
former days when the American navy
constituted the glory of the country, the
best young men found their way in the
crew's enlistment. The successive vic
tories which our ships obtained proved
the bravery of the sailors, as well as
coolness of the officers. After a period
of sluggishness the American navy has
had a new birth, and from now on the
interest in our ships will have a con
stant increase. But this interest is due
in every man aboard the ship, and we
think the committee would have acted
wisely- had they made provision for a
part of the proposed sum to be expend
ed in a library for the common seaman
of the ship. There would be a fairness
about it that would appeal more forcibly
to the benevolence of the state, and
the reflex lesson of patriotism to the
children of Oregon would be still
greater. The Jack Tar of the navy is
entitled to the gratitude of the people
oftentimes as much as his superior.
an ugly animal for Salem, and
many other cities in the state would
find it a profitable investment to im
port some of the breed. The success of
Salem is not entirely due to its natural
advantages, but is the result, in a large
measure, of the push which its citizens
display. Salem will simply get all it
can, and cities, as well as individuals,
will find that little comes save for the
asking. The medical school, if conduct
ed on a high plane, will place Salem in
the front rank of the educational cen
ters" on the coast. ,
The decision in tho Stanford case
should be an example to those people
who want the government to go in the
money-loaning business. When once
the United States government would
make a loan it would be next to an im
possibility to get it back. But very
likely . the class of statesmen who favor
such a departure from established modes
of government have considered this fact
and are all the more in favor of the
plan.
EDITORIAL COMMMENT FROM
NORTHWEST PAPERS.
NEW ERA FOR THE NORTHWEST.
The successful bid of Morgan Bros, of
Seattle for the building of one of the
government's new custom bouse boats
has not attracted the attention through
out the Northwest that its importance
entitles it. The building of such a ves
sel on the shores of Puget Sound will
mark an era in the development of the
Northwest and will announce to the
holders of capital in the East that the
Northwest is something more than
place where money can be invested in
corner lots with no receipt of returns
The days of wild speculation in the lead
ing cities of- Oregon and Washington are
oyer, and it is well that they are. This
section of country was growing at a pace
which, -in the nature of things, could
not possibly continue; and when the
crash did come, it came with awful
force. The ' people of these two great
states have learned that something more
is needed for a healthy commercial life
than mere fictitious values of land. Diver
sified farming, the building of manu
facture! s and the abolition, or at least a
wide curtailment, of the unlimited sys
tem of credit so prevalent in the last
decade, will do'more lasting good to this
land of Eden than all the changing
hands of real estate, where the purchase
and sales were for speculation merely.
The Northwest is a great country. It
needs no booming to make its resources
known, nor need they be exaggerated.
few such deeds as the building of a
whaleback or a government vessel will
do more than anything elue to advertise
our forests, mines and workshops. Cap
iat is what this country needs ; capital
bat will develope the matchless re
sources with which we are blessed.
When money is brought to Oregon and
Washington and placed in legitimate
enterprises, a sufficient population will
follow in its wake. Ship yards in the
Paget Sound, manufactures in the Wil
lamette valley and Eastern Oregon, and
better systems of farming in the fertile
fields of Eastern Washington are the
gems which should adorn the states
that border on the Columbia river. '

Mr. Perkins and Mr. Johnson soon in
duced the proprietors to dispoee of the
shop, w hich they bought on credit, and so
the two young men started in business
on the corner where the St. Charles
hotel now stands. At the end of a
month tho condition of no money and no
meat confronted them and so shutting
up the shop they went into the country'
and found a farmer, named Doty, who
sold them five steers on credit. With
this increased capital they re-opened
the butchersbop and never had to close
it again for lack of meat.
; It was n si range coincidence that these
two gentlemen, who 'arrived in The
Dull 08 in the same month forty-three

The criminals the state of Washing

vict is now on trial in Walla Walla for
the murder of a fellow-prisoner. This
makes the second murder case which
has arisen from inside the prison walls

The editor of The Chronicle bad the
pleasuie during the fair of meeting R. S.
Perkins, Esq., the well-known hotel
man of Portland, and John Y. Todd,
who is also remembered by old settlers
of this section. While in an interesting
conversation the thoughts of both the
gentlemen went back to the days of the
early '50s, when Mr. Perkins and Mr,
Todd came to Oregon.
The reminiscences gathered from the
talk of these worthy persons was very
interesting to one whose knowledge of
early Oregon life comes only by hearsay.
Mr. Todd told bow in 1851 he came to
Oregon from California. The following
year in company with David Evarts be
left the Willamette valley with a load of
supplies and came over the Barlow road
co Tygh valley and then down to The
Dalles. At that time the place, where
now stands our prosperous city, was a
sand dune. Only one log house was to
be seen and upon that one there was no
roof. The cabin stood where the Col-
jimbia Hotel now is. . Over 100 tents
were pitched along the river bank. Mr.
Todd lived in Eastern Oregon many
years and then moved to the Willamette
valley. He nas now returned to The
DalleB, where he will make his residence.
At the close of Mr. Todd's story Mr.
Perkins was prevailed to tell of his in
troduction to Oregon. It was in August,
1852 the same month that Mr. Todd
spoke of that Mr. Perkins arrived in
The Dalles. He came by the way of the
plains, across which he drove four yoke
of oxen, in return for which he was
given his grub. At The Dalles the com
pany disbanded and Mr. Perkins went to
the Upper Cascades, where he worked
for a man named Bush. There were two
stores then at Cascades. One day Capt.
Van Bergen, who afterwards was captain
of the steadier Flint, came along and
offered Mr. Perkins a poeition of first
mate 6n , a scow which he gladly ac
cepted. ' After a few days of boating he
retired with .$75 in his pocket and im
mediately left in a whale boat for Van
couver, where his horde of capital soon
melted away. Mr. Perkins arrived in
Portland, October 15, 1852 and the next
day went to work for Albright & White
in a butchersbop. Working with him
was A. H. Johnson, who afterwards be-

DEJTANDED.
A general banking business is done by
the human system, because the blood de
posits in its vaults whatever wealth we may
gam trom day to day. This wealth is laid
up against "a rainy day " as a reserve fund
we're in a condition of healthy prosperity
if we have laid away sufficient capital, to
draw upon in the hour of our greatest need.
There is danger in getting thin, because it'a
a sign of letting down in health. To gain
in blood is nearly always to gain in whole
some flesh. The odds are in favor of the
germs of consumption, grip, or pneumonia,
if our liver be inactive and our blood im
pure, or if our flesh be reduced below a
healthy standard. What is required is aa
increase in our germ-fighting strength. Dr.
Pierce's Golden Medical Discovery enriches
the blood and makes it wholesome, stops
the waste of tissue and at the same time
bnilds up the strength. A medicine which
will rid the blood of its poisons, cleanse and
invigorate tne great organs of the body,
vitalize the system,' thrill the whole being
with new energy and make permanent work
of it, is surely a remedy of great value. But
when we make a positive statement that 98
per cent, of all cases of consumption can, if
taken in the early stages of the disease, be
cured with the Discovery, " it seems like
a bold assertion. All Dr. Fierce asks is that
you make a thorough investigation and
satisfy yourself of the truth of his assertion.
By sending to the World's Dispensary Med
ical Association, Buffalo, N. Y., you can get
a free book with the names, addresses and

From Far Away Ceylon.
I have received diiect from the Island
of Ceylon a large consignment of its
justly celebrated teas. , The extraordin
ary success which has attended the grow
ing of the tea plant in Ceylou is phenom
enal. Ten or twelve years aau a few
planters experimented crowing teat
(the coffee crop, for which the island
was formerly famous, .being entirely de
stroyed by a blight) with the result that
Great Britain alone consumes annually -190,000,000
pounds of theso teas which
would be a small matter to what would
be consumed in our country, when
Americans realizo the splendid qualities
of Ceylon. These teas are prepared by
modern machinery and picked by the.
natives with gloved hands and are in
comparable in their strength, purity and
flavor.
Economy is also a most important
factor in the use of these teas ; one pound
being equal in strength to two pounds of
China, it is only necessary to use half
the quantity yam would of any other. k
To make good tea is very simole
matter. Use an earthenware teapot and
pour on the water as soon as it boils,
allowing five minutes to draw. Water
which haa been previously boiled should
never be used. W. A. Joiixsto.v,
