Bayer to Depress the Market. . The East Oregonian springs a sensa tion in the Pendleton community by charging that . the North Pacific coast market is in the hands of a combination which has for its object the aill further depression of a market which now; pare' ly affords the producer the expenses ol raising wheat. For several weeks the East Oregonian has heen making a auiet canvass and has found evidence that ' the various grain buyers whose businees center in Portland have combined to depress the price of,wheat and rob the producer. It will be observed that in Pendleton the hnvini in almost entirely confined to the two mills. Of course, some wheat ffoos to other buyers, but almost none- excepting that which has been delivered snhiect to chattel mortgage. The free buying is confinedto the mills. In form er seasons the elevator companies and the mills have all been in the market, and. the consequence was that Pendleton was a good market for the cereal. These are facts an agreement has been entered into whereby the two mills are riven undisDUted possession of the Pendleton wheat market. They buy now as much wheat as they have caDital to purchase. By reason of lack of competition, the mills are en abled to bay at lower prices than would prevail were the other buyers in the market. When the mills have bought all they can take with the capital they have, the other buyers .will come in and take the balance. Later in the milling season, the mills will have ground all the wheat they pur chased under the arrangement now in force, and they will want some more wheat. Then the elevator companies wiil come forward with their wheat, sell it to the mills and make the profit on the sale as compensation for keeping out of the Pendleton market now. Here is the way it balances, and each party is benefited. The mills can buy now with no competition from the eleva tor companies. The mills purchase on ly enough for a limited period of flour grinding. So after a while the, elevator companies can buy with no competition from the mills and bring it here and sell it to them. It is a mutual exchange of courtesies and profits. Regarding the existence of this agreement, the East Oregonian is in possession of informa tion which permit's it to make the asser tion as a positive fact, and with the knowledge that no one can successfully contradict it. So far, then, as the Pendleton end of the arrangement is concerned, it is a settled fact that the combination has been made and the market put in condi tion so the wheat offered can be bought advantageously by the lozal mills. So far as concerns the outside featuies and the effect of the combination on other market points, the evidence, in the opinion of several gentlemen of high standing who were consulted by the East Oregonian on the subject, . is that the most of the buying companies are in the agreement and will attempt to de press the saeson's market prices by avoiding competition. The Pleasures of Youth. Yesterday afternoon between 2 and 4 o'clock was a memorable one for some two pcore of little folks who were enter tained at Mrs. J. T. Peters' residence by little Helen and Grace Peters. After an hour's play they were ranged up on the south side of the lawn and given plates of lemon ice and cake, which disap peared in .quite a matter of fact way, considering the fairy-like appearance the little ones presented, with their dainty costumes of spotless white or glimmering pink. Their bright eyes, which accented their beautiful baby-like faces, betokened the pleasure they were enjoying, and later their fluffy hair, vieing in attractiveness with fluttering and gaily-colored bits of ribbon, was confined with unique paper caps which were found in some candy of wonderful architecture, which they investigated with delight. The following were the little folks who participated in an event that marks a milestone in their lives : Katherine and Wallace Taylor, Nita and Crystal Bennett, Guy and Winni fred Douthit, Florence Hollister, Thomas Hudson, Jr., Harry and May Walthers, Alice, Laura and Dorris Kurtz, Clifton Condon, Genevieve and Harold Fish, Celia Gavin, Vincent Wood, Marmaduke and Bebe Vause, Etta Farley, Bert and Mary Varney, Alfred, Lois and Edna Thompson, Louise Briggs, Geraldine and Gilbert Ke".ley, Harry Lytle, Eva Phelps, Gus Parson, George and Lily Brown, Hobart and Leah Booth, Helen and Grace Peters. The Dalles a Business Town. A Dalles correspondent of the Oregon ian speaks at length in today's issue of our mammoth business interests.. He tells of 750,000 pounds of wool, which win De snipped tnis week on consign ment by Mr. Pease. This wijl be the largest shipment so far this season, and will bring the total amount thus far. shipped up to about 2,000,000 pounds. There is also a strong movement of salmon, wheat and fruit from The Dalles now. Seufert Bros, and . Herrick's canneries have shipped a total of 10,000 cases of salmon this season. The Dalles Commission Com pany has a number of carloads of prunes and sngar plums, on which very fair prices have been realized. The report concludes with a complimentary refer ence to the fine new business blocks of Max Vogt and A. M. Williams & Co. THE FACTS IN THE CASE. Mr. Craven I Plentifully Supplied and Applies Thxm Mercilessly. Mr. Herman W. Craven of Seattle de livered a ringing Reoublican address at the court house last evening to an audi ence. taxing the capacity of the court house la6t evening to contain it. No more enthusiastic Republican exists than Mr. Craven and he succeeded in communicating a generous share of it to his audience, who cheered him wildly from start to finish. The only nnpleas autness which marred the evening were the babblings of a drunken individual upon whom therefore the timely rebukes of the speaker were lost. His eene of shame was sunken in his inebrity. Mr. Craven was pleasantly introduced by Mr. F. W. Wilson as a citizen from sister state who comes' to us to preach the gospel of protection, sound money and McKinley. . The speaker openeofwith the state ment that while Ortgon seemingly con' tained more Republicans than Washing ton, yet he claimed his state would not be in the rear in November, and referred to the recent Vermont and Maine elec tions as a tremendous expression of the conservative element in the East. Tak ing np the extravagant claims of the silver forces he exposed to view a copy of the San Francisco Examiner of the 29th of August, where that paper con tained the following "scare" headlines "New England Engulfed by the Huge Wave of Silver Sentiment The Repub licans Will Have Trouble With Maine Yet." The only ,v trouble, said Mr. Craven, was to count the un parallelled Republican majority. The speaker ex ploded the claim of the silver people when he said , the change from nnex ampled prosperity'in 1892 to the lowest depths of financial distress in 1893 was sudden, quoting from Dunn and Brad- street's commercial agencies incontest ible proof. The Weekly Review of . Trade, June 30, 1892, said : "Business is better than ever .before in history; money is in better demand, but it is in ample sup ply ; woolen mills are running night and day to supply the demand : stocks of goods are low." Dunn & Co. said (Dec 31,1892): Today closes the most pros perous year ever known in business; the holiday trade is the largest ever known ; all woolen, cotton, and silk ma' clunery is fully employed. There were fewer failures in 1892 than in all the years preceding it since 1886. On Dec. 30, 1893, the same agency said : The year, beginning with the largest trade ever known, has cloeed with a sudden sinking of trade, the worst for fifty years. The failures of 1893 far surpass those of any previous year. Bradstreets of the same date said : The year 1893 shows heavier net losses than for the past eighty years. There is more than 1,000,000 wage earners in enforced idle ness more than one year ago. After fastening the responsibility for the great and sudden depression where it belonged, Mr. Craven turned his at' tent ion to the .financial question. He claimed the subject was so vast that if all the facts needful to know were boiled down to the smallest possible compass it would vet take about eight hours to deliver tbem in a set speech. He could therefore do no more than fool around the fringes of the question in the Bhort time Allotted him. He said he only wished that those who wanted free silver could have it; and those who did not want it could be free,' illustrating the thought by a witty story about the man who was wounded in his substitute. The question, said Mr. Craven, called for the deepest reading, study and thought. When the great question came up whether or not the black man should be bond or free, it was a question of the heart. Anyone who had human sympathies could go to the polls and cast his vote for abolition of slavery, but the financial issue is a question of the head and not the heart. Mr. Craven then it lustrated the present worth of the silver dollar as bullion, and declared by un questionable proof that the fiat value could never be more than its bullion worth. Here the first interruption arose. "Better have . a fifty-cent dollar than no dollar at -all," wild ly shrieked out a Populist. . Mr. Craven drew himself up to his full height and launched the following an swer like a thunderbolt: "My' friend, you will have no dollar at all, you will not even have soup if your vote pre vails." A second interruption provoked the following:' "You go off and get the work ; do less talking and you'll have more work." The sallies provoked the most tremendous applause. Mr. Craven then followed with some interesting figures. During 1896 there has already been coined as many silver dollars as for a period in our history cov-' ering 8?years. From 1793 to 1873 there was coined $147,000,000 in silver, while from 1874 to 1893 there was coined $525 000,000. From 1853 to 1873 there was coined but $5,524,000, and since 1873 more than $434,000,000. The speaker than showed how 53 -cent dollars would affect for 111 every wage-earner, every small depositor in sayings banks; a stated salary wonld mean less money for the earner of that salary. Under free coinage, prices would rise rapidly, with no corresponding increase in wages. If the government stamps a silver and a gold dollar equal in value at a ratio of 16 to 1, it is flying in the face of all reason, and all history, particularly American history, to urge that that value can be maintained. ' Quoting Senator Jones, who was appointed by congress in 1870 chairman of a monetary commission to investigate coinage laws, he showed that gold went out of circulation when, there was a difference in gold's favor of but 7 cents in value. Mr. Craven concluded with a brilliant peroration npon the worth of the grand old party and its immortal heroes, con eluding with an adaptation of Bryan' famous "cross of cold and crown of thorns" gem of speech, in this wise "You shall not press down upon Ameri can industry this crown of thorns; you shall not crucify American labor by this cross of repudiation." . Mr. Crowe, president of the McKinley club, then announced a regular meeting of the club for this evening, when he would appoint the committees. Committee Announcements.
