The special session of ' 1885 cost the state about $65,000, snd a special session in 1896 wonld certainly cost no less, and would probably accomplish nothing. The taxes already levied and assessed will have to be collected whether or not the legislature is convened, so that the taxpayer will gain no relief by this measure. Moreover, if there is a true disposition to economize, it iaeasyfor the state officers to withhold expendi tures of money in many cases where the appropriation seems too large, until the regular eession, when the same relief can be obtained without the expense of a special session.

Ingersoll said were made by Moses The greatest of these mistakes is the president's unwillingness or inability to see any peril in the continuous treasury deficits, and his opinion that greenback retirement is a sovereign remedy for the government's financial ills. A good many Republicans, however, believe that a 8cberaeof gradual extinguishment of the entire demand-note debt would be wise, but it is folly to overlook or ig nore the revenue shortage menace. A treaty has been signed by Chili and Brazil which promises to be of commer cial benefit to both countries. An agreement is made that a steamship line between the two countries shall be sub' sized. It is stated that the successful working of this treaty will greatly im pair the trade of the United States with both countries. Chili and Brazil are carrying out the idea that was part of James G.

That law, in most of its features, went into operation on October 6, 1890. In the fiscal year ending June 30, 1891, revenues exceeded expenditures $26,- 800,000, and the excess was $9,900,000 in the year ending June 30, 1S92, and $2, 300,000 in the year ending at that date in 1893. Then the turning point came, and in the next twelve months the cus toms receipts dropped sharply, and there was a deficit ot Z7U.uuu.uuu. .But it is very easy to see that the menace which Democratic victory brought was the chief cause of this shortage. The Dem- An inter-collegiate debate has been arranged between the oratorical socie ties of Columbia College, New York, and the University of Chicago. Some ques tion of national importance will be taken as a topic of discustion, and prominent judges of New York and Illinois will be invited to decide the argument. In former ' years inter-collegiate debates weae not unusual occurrences, but in recent years the contest between the great institutions lay in the direction of muscle more than brains. New York and Chicago can possibly ineet on the piattorm witn eatery, Dut were sc. iouis a contestant, instead of the Empire City, it might be wise for each city to send its men of brawn.

This portentous fact unsettled trade of all sorts, cut down importation and brought the deficit. That endless chain of greenback with drawals of gold from the treasury did not begin to take dangerous shape until this administration and the congress which went into existence with it cre ated the revenue shortage. The senator had no diffculty in showing that coiner dence. In Republican days the endless chain was so harmless that com para tively few persons knew tnat such a chain existed.' Another drawback at tending Democratic government, or navy at the beginning of the war and broke their oaths to enter the confederate service. It is only to this comparatively insignificant number of ex-United States officers that the recent bill applies. The passage of the bill was all right, but the extent of its operation does not justify so much editorializing about it. Ex.

Meanwhile there is little doubt as to the success of the popular loan. one Pierpont Morgan and his friends will which the senator did not mention, but which, of course, he had in mind, is that no considerable body of the people anywhere has any confidence in Demo cratic management of national affairs, The Republican party, too, makes mia takes, as it did during the term of its latest president, but with that party mistakes are the exception, while with the Democracy (hey are the rnle.

If the government must owe money, it is bet ter that its own friends be the creditors.

Hence, it always "has and always will create a demand for labor, which must increase the wages of work ingmen. Cheaper imported competitive com modities will destroy national prosperity and the demand for labor must decrease in proportion to the importation, because all -competitive importation 'eupplants home production, closes the avenues of employment, thereby reducing the rate of wages. Of all men, the wageesrngttis most in terested in creating. a demand for labor. which he can only secure by having the industry from which he obtains employ ment, protected to an extent that will produce the greatest amount of employ ment. . If capital, without which no industry can exist, is not made secure against the effects of cheaper competitive foreign competition, it will not be employed. Without the medium of capital there will be no employment for labor. . The only capital possessed by the wage earner is his labor. His capital increases in proportion to the demand created. The greater the demand for employment the higher will be the rate of wages This axiom has held good in the pa6t and will hold good for all time. If the American workingmen desire to retain their high rate of wages and recover their past prosperity, they must create for themselves a demand for labor. This can only be secured by keeping out of our country the foreign competitive manufactures, which, for self preserva tion, should be manufactured at home It does not lie within the brain of mortal man to frame any, law that can determine, for the whole people, a fixed rate of wages without destroying personal liberty. The prosperity of every nation is measured by the prosperity of the masses, which is determined by the rate of wages they1 receive. Freedom, per sonal liberty and national prosperity can not continue when the wage earner is poor and dependent. The Democratic party, and their allies, who advocate free-trade, claim to be the poor man's friend and party, a claim most untrue, for their policy and meth ods have always been antagonistic to the welfare of ' the wage earner and of the nation. . The poor man strikes a self inflicted blow, not only against .himself, bnt against his country, when he casts his vote for a party whose policy is to ad vance the interests of foreign countries instead of those of his own. Conse quently he surrenders his franchise to scheming demagogues, who betray his interests in order to obtain political power or personal aggrandizement, re gardless of the welfare of the voter or of the nation. tconoinist Over three-quarters of a million dollars will be required for slate expenses the present year. This amounts to About $2.25 per capita. When this is added to connty, school and municipal taxation the effect ot the pressure is more than the average citizen, without regard to party, is disposed to endure without a protest. OF LOCAL INTEREST. Monitor: Sherman county, though rich in eoll and climate, is lacking in timber. not even an evergreen suitable for Christmas tree is to be found in the count v. i That may be all so, but our county warrants are worth 101 : Perhaps eome others can do better. Wasco News. Arlington Record: G. W. Alexander of Bickleton was in town Tuesday look ing for subscriptions to make a new grade up Wood gulch. Of course the business men of this place are all favorable to the grade and will give substantial aid to its progress. Arlington is the natural mar ket place for that eection of Klickitat, and we are heartily in favor of doing anything that will give them better roads to our town. Elsewhere in this issue is a notice of a meeting to consider this matter. Goldendale Sentinel : In view of the danger of invasion in the event of a war with England, the Lyle board of trade propose to erect fortifications to protect the harbor and the Lyle and Goldendale railway. Their proposals and bids may may be called for the construction of a couple of ironclads; the board having appropriated S .UUU.UUU for defense, Col. Rowe, at his own expense, has ob structed the Klickitat at the falls so that it will be impossible for an English gun- Doat to reach wankiakus. . CLOSE TO THE DALLES! Klickitat Agriculturist: Goldendale has been auoted as a dull town bv har own people, but strangers from sister cities often express themselves differ ently. Money is not very plentiful, yet trade is comparatively good. The pros pective building of the Lyle-Goldendale railroad will do much to attract atten tion and capital this way, and an addi tional population to Klickitat. The outlook for the new year is certainly bright. Skamania Pioneer: Stevenson is going to boom in the spring. That is, it will go ahead, and not stand stiil as it has the past year. We know of several new houses that will surely be built, and there are indications that eeveral new business houses will be established here. Altogether we believe that the year 1896 is going to be a good one for Stevenson and the whole of Skamania county. It is believed that there will be a heavy immigration this year into this state, and if there is Skamania will, no doubt, get her share of them. Nowhere in the state is there government land so acces Bible as in Skamania county. ways thirty-two jackscrews were needed James Hanahhan, an experienced ship carpenter, has immediate charge of the work of repairing. lioad Supervisors fur 1896.

It seems very strange that the Orego nian, which until recently has let no opportunity slip to vilify and abuse the last legislature, is now advocating a Bpecial session of that body, ostensibly for the purpose of having the unexpend ed appropriations rescinded. In view of the fact that it has always insisted that the members are irresponsible pub lic plunderers, incapable of doing a pa triotic or disinterested act for the public good, and offered thanks when the last session adjourned, the reason - for this Bndden conversion of sentiment has doubtless some connection with Multno- The vote taken in the Ohio legislature resulted as long ago foteshadowed. J, B. Foraker received the unanimous Re publican vote. This marks the close of the Sberman-Foraker fight and both Republicans have triumphed at the dis- comfituie of Millionaire Brice. Sheriff Kil bourne of Baker county was. among the belated passengers in The Dalles today. He was en route to Salem, having in charge an unfortunate for the insane asylum.' Sheriff Kil bourne said Baker City had enjoyed a prosperous year, and expects to be treated better during 1896. The adja cent mines have yielded rich treasures, and the stringency of money has not been noticed there so much as in other places.

Such teachings are wrong, of course, and a greater injury to the South than to the North; but human nature must be taken into account. It can not be expected, ys the Spokesman-Review, that the Southern people will admit to their children that they were entirely wrong n plunging their country into civil war. That confession would throw upon them a terrific responsibility. . Children of the south, viewing the scars of war which have not entirely healed, could reproach their sires, for a wrong so grievous. 'You admit that slavery was a mighty evilf" they would say: "that secession was wrong. Why, then, did you perpe trate this great wrong in defense of a gi gantic evil?" And the logic could not be resisted. It is to shield themselves from this re- ponsibility that, the Southern people continue to give the lost cause a senti mental and theoretic defense. The virus, though, has become practically armless. Southern children may have mild attacks of rebel varioloid ; but the irulent epidemic will be seen no more forever. MATTERS POLITICAL. Albany Herald : There is some talk throughout the state of a special eession of the Oregon legislat ure for the purpose of reducing state expenditures, and the matter has been presented to the gov ernor. The only excuse for an extra Bession of the legislature- would be to reduce state appropriations by abolish ing useless commissions and other ex travagancies, so as to rednce taxation. Heroic reform is heeded along this 4ine. Unless, however, the members of the legislature have themselves reformed since the last session and are ready to practice vigorous' retrenchment, an ex tra session would only be an additional burden .upon an already outraged peo ple. It is said Governor Lord does not at present think favorably of the move ment. La Grande Chronicle: There are in dicationa that there is going to be a red hot campaign directed against extrava gant expenses incurred for state govern ment. This was a campaign cry two years ago, but the demands of the pub lic failed to fall on sympathetic ears after the offices bad been secured, and the expenses of government have been piling up mountain high. All this might have been more easily overlooked and forgotten during prosperous times, but when there is a decline ot about one half in everything else bnt state expend itures, the pressure comes too hard. A decision was rendered this morning in the matter of dividing Dufur precinct, The afternoon yesterday, as well as the morning, was taken up with hearing the arguments of the opposing sides. The debate was quite acrimonious, and the disputants were not at all averse to ex pressing themselves in forcible language The tilt of eloquence was greatly en joyed by the spectators and some side lights were thrown upon the play of politics in Dufur precinct. Messrs. T, H. Johnston and M. J. Anderson, who appeared as against the granting of the petition, left for their home last night and this morning members of the court received several telephone messages ask. ing that nothing be done until they could return, as. it was declared new evidence bad been discovered. The line to Dufur was kept "pretty hot," in the language of one of the courthouse offi cials, but the judge and commissioners decided that they had spent enough time with the matter, and declined to prolong the agony further. This morn ing the court decided to grant the peti tion asked for, which was championed by W. H. H. Dufur and J. M. Nolin. The new precinct will be called Ram sey, and will embrace school districts 27 and 36, with a portion of 37. The area mentioned will poll about seventy-five votes, but it is probable that a portion ot Kingsley precinct will be added to the one just created, which will give it a vot ing population of about 125. The end of the matter is not reached yet, and the echoes of the precinct division will be borne on the winds around Dufur town for some time to come.' Mr. Dufur and Mr. Nolin departed for home this morning in a happy frame of mind. The busiest place around town is where the Regulator is being repaired The sound of hammers is . heard from morning till evening, and no music is more pleasing than the sounds arising from industry. A score or more of men are at work on the boat, and a great deal has been done towards putting the steamer in better, shape. The . boiler tubing has been taken put and is being cleaned of scales. The mud which had gathered in the boiler has been re moved, and the latter made as good as new. A new mast is being put in the steamer, which Captain Waud declares one of the best pieces of timber he has 8 sen. The new mast is 57 feet long and free frdm blemish., The planking, which was worn out, has been taken np and new ones are being put on. Con sidering the hard service the Regulator has seen since she was last taken out, her condition is very good, and when the repairs hav been made, she will be among the best boats on the Columbia. Repairs arei most needed on the bow, where the strain of making landing is felt. A new keel will be put in at this partof the boat and the timbers strengthened. In order to raise the boat from, off the Republicans in Wasco and Sherman counties are getting in line for the be ginning of club work for the campaign. The state executive committee has called for a convention of clubs, to be held in Portland, February 4th. Tonight the McKinley club of The Dalles will choose delegates. The Columbia Precinct Re publican club will meet for the same same purpose at the Fairfield school house, Friday, January 24th, and the McKinley club of Moro will' meet the evening following. We are not, yet, advised of the meetings of other clubs in the two counties, but are as sured they will all be in line. The club work is getting to be an important fea ture of the campaign, and a great deal depends upon the enthusiasm shown at the Portland meeting. Every, club should send its fall quota of delegate and see that its best men are chosen Oregon is in the foreground of politics, and its election next year will be indi cativeof the political feeling everywhere, The matter of choosing delegates should not be left in the hands of a few inter ested people, but a large number should be present and a general expression given in. making the choice. Remember the meeting of the McKinley club this even ing in the council chambers. There are some people who are never positive in anything. ' It js always, don't know," or "I guess so..' There is a word of such people , and it is refresh ing sometimes to hear a person speak as one haying convictions, like Mr. Chas F. Snyder, of Bangor, P., who wrote ; "I ran heartily recommend Simmons Liver Regulator to all who are troubled with Dyspepsia or Liver Complaint." Advertised Letters.

Mrs. Fred Hunt, of Glenville, N. K, says : " I read about Dr. Pierce's Fa vorite Prescription being so good for a wo man witn cnua, so 1 got two bottles last September, and De cember 13th I had a twelve pound baby girl. When I was confined was not siek in any way. I did not suffer any pain, and when the child was born I walk ed into another room and went to bed. 1 1 1 keep your Extract of btpart-weea on hand all the time. It was very cold weather and our room was very cold but I did not take any cold, and never had any after-pain or anv other oain. It was all due to God and Dr. Pierce's Fa vorite Prescription and Compound Extract of Smart-Weed. This is the eighth living child and the largest of them all. I suf fered everything that flesh could suffer with the other babies. I always had a doctor and then he could not help me very much, but this time ray mother and my husband were alone with me. My baby was only seven days ol when I got up and dressed and left my room and stayed up all day." Mas: Hunt. Ttaa Wheat Trade. The local wheat market shows signs of strengthening. In The Dalles today the prices quoted are 45 to 46 cts per busbel. In Pendleton the nominal price ia 40 eta. Although considerable wheat remains in the warehouses, but little is changing; handa. The conditions in Portland and the East are reflected in the following taken from the Commercial Review in Portland: We have passed through a week of dullness, holders of grain in Eastern Oregon and Washington are Btill cling- 1 iug on to their wheat, and will only aell .. at an advance above market quotations. Many will sell if they can realize 60 cents per bushel . there, 624 cents at Portland. Thia is practically out of the question,, according to prices paid in Europe and Chicago. In the Walla Walla country very little wheat has been disposed of aa yet. : Holders there are convinced, that prices will advance as to enable them to sell at a good profit. At the present writing we hardly see where their hopes can be realized, and hope that expectations may prove true. Receipts have been fair and sales mostly are made to interior millers, at 2)4 centa above the local price. Exporters' wants here are small ; there are few ships at hand to load, and these have cargoes pretty well provided for. Not many ships are due to arrive in the near fu ture, and those under forward engage ment, but not yet provided for in the way of cargoes, are not likely to suffer any detention. Values are about 90 to 92 cents per cental for lair average Walla Walla: 95 cents for round lots of valley. EASTERN MARKETS. The past week was a moderately act ive one in the speculative markets. Ad vices from Europe were a little more encouraging to holders. Stocks of bread stuffs in Europe are understood to be . gradually decreasing, though the im ports are quite liberal. I he receipts of gram at the larger distributing points, while not so free, were fairly liberal. and considerably in excess of the arri vals at this time last year. The move ment of grain eastward was fairly libera, and widely distributed, consid erable grain of all kinds being distrib uted through the eastern and middle states, and also through the central West, more particularly to millers. Stocks are accumulating at interior points. The estimates of the govern ment of grain production in 1895, issued early last week, show returns about aa previously foreshadowed, with the ex ception of wheat, which is Tetnrned aa fully 43,000,000 bushels ereater than suggested by the figures given ont in October. This makes the crop about 7,000,000 bushels greater than that of 1894. The winter wheat crop shows a shortage 65,157,000 bushels, while the spring crop is 71,992,000 larger than ia 1894. The average production of wheat for the past ten years baa been 462,000,- COO bushels, sp the crop last year was only fractionally above the average for the last decade. Judge Blakejey and County Commis sioners Uarneilie and Blowers decided upon the tax levy thia morning for the ensuing year. The county- levy waa placed at 21 mills. A special road tax of 1 mill waa levied, the proceeds of which will be applied towards making needed repairs upon county roads and especially upon the lower 5-Mile road leading out of The. Dalles. The neces sity of improvement lias long been ap parent. The dividing of the Dufur pre cinct made some changes necessary in the list of judges and clerks as published Tuesday. For Ramsey precinct, Jamea LeDuc, P. M. Thompson . and K. P. O'Brien were appointed judges and J. . W. Nolin and Frank Chase clerks. Aa the first two named had been appointed for Dufur precinct but, the division throwing them into Ramsey, Monroe Heisler and Edward Bohan were named in their stead. A new road district, No. 27, was created today.
