8 A TISFA CTOR Y RE VEN UE.
It is now seven months since the
Republican promise of a pew tariff
was made eood. In anticipation of
fiigber duties stocks of goods were
increased enormously in all lines.
No one could tc!l just where the in
crease of duties would strike. The
only sure thing was Jthat the changes.
if anv. would be upward, instead of
downward. From the day McKin
ley electors were chosen to the hour
when the Dingier tariff bill was
fiiirned the slockins up policy was
followed, so far as possible. It took
a long time to work off the surplus
imports. At last it has been. The
monthly statement of the treasury
department, made at the close of
February, indicates that our national
revenues have reached a normal con
anion. Ihe treasury once more
chow a surplus, in place of a deficit.
aays the Inter Ocean.
Daring the twenty-eight days of
February the receipts of the treasury
were a little over twenty-eight mil
lions of dollars. This was a better
showing: than any February bad
made during the entire second term
or urover Cleveland, iue aggre
gate of the month was about one
million and a half above the expen
ditures of the period. It seems like
good old Republicans days to have
the difference between the receipts
and expenditures of the treasury on
the credit side ot the ledger instead
of the debit side. Each day in the
month, take the month through, the
government took in 117,000 more
.than It paid out.
The difference between the Wilson
Tuia Dingley bills is almost exclusivc
' ly in the tariff revenue features.
Both bills include interest as well as
impost taxation. The two bills
rested upon the same general lines of
fxTicy as regards international reve
- ue. The increase under the Ding-
ley law was subtantlally all due to
increased receipts of customs.- The
jrercentage of increase in customs
duties, comparing the first Dingley
.month with the seventh, was. about
U40 percent. It is safe to say that
'the Gist full year of Dingley will
show jm) merease of about $25,000,
vflOO over the first year of Wilson.
'These figures do not take into ac
count Any of the money received by
4 he government from the Pacific rail
way sales of the last few months.
"They simply attest the healthy con
dition of the treasury under a Be
- publican revenue law.
lhe country is now on a revenue
fasls which protects not only, the in
dustries of the people, but the finan
ces of the government. That "end
less chain" cannot operate against us
while our income exceeds our out
goes. The gold in the treasury to
day is largely in excess of the re
demption needs of the government.
This financial feature of the case Is
iiardly less important than the indus
trial. Taken together they round
oat the requirements of the situation.
TRADE IS SOT DEPRESSED.
Dunn & Co.8 Weekly . Review of
Trade truthfully and consolinsly says
that, though'the rumors of war have
at times "affected speculation in
tocks, they have not distutbed the
industries and trade of the country."
This is well put.
- Whatever the future may have in
store, the commercial element is un
disturbed, and imposes confidence in
the wisdom and patriotism of con
gress and president. The business
failures have been exceptionally few
daring the past month, and the small
mess of the capitals involved has been
equally remarkable. The clearing
houses report an almost unprece
dented promptitude in the payment;
of liabilities, and the volume of
monetary transactions has been un
usually large. The clearing house
transactions in Chicago were greater
hv more than thirtv-four per cent
during the week ending March 3d,
than during the corresponding week
of last year It is long since mone
tary condition? were in a more saiis
factory condition than they now are.
We have ceased to . be exporters of
gold in payment for European goods.
The gold of Europe is flowing to our
sbcres, $5,300,000 being now on the
way.
An incieased demand for all the
great staples is noticeable, and there
is an improvement in the price of
most of them. Trade is rot de
pressed by the prospect of war. The
traditions of the activity in manu
facturing, agricultural and transpor
tation enterprises between 1861 and
1865 have not faded out of memory.
campaign in Oregon:
The campaign of 1898 in Wasco
county may be said to be fairly com
menced. The free silver forces have
held their primaries and elected del
egates to the county convention.
Just what the result of this concerted
movement may be is yet to be de
termined; but it is perfectly evident
that the idea of fusion is uppermost
in the minds of the Populists and
Democrats. The Free Silver Repub
licans the name is a gross misno
mer are hunting for some place
in wuicn tney may case uieir lines,
and" undoubtedly they will find some
sort of refuge among the Populists
and Democrats.
Not since the close of the war has
the issue been more direct and une
quivocal than it is at this time. The
Democrats no longer preach free
trade; the Populists seem to have
abandoned all their cherished tenets
of political belief except their undy
ing attachment to free silver, and
all have nnited in opposition to the
monetary system advocated so stren
uously by the Republican platforms.
It is cheap money against sound
money, with no equivocation oi
terms. Thj unparalleled prosperity
which the nation has experienced
since the inauguration oi president
McKinley seems to count for nothing
in the minds of the blind worshippers
of the silver eod. and the lines are
drawn in the same places, as they
were in 1896.
The last presidential campaign
was remarkable for the great interest
taken by the business men of the
country. The politicians so called
were in the background, and the rep
resentatives of the business world
went to the front and carried the
banners of sound money and the
maintajnance of a stable currency
system.
As far as Oregon is concerned,
the same thing must be done again.
Whatever reason a year or so ago
there may have existed in the minds
of some people for going to a silver
basis, there is none now.' The ca
lamatcus predictions so confidently
made by Populists and Democrats
have been unverified, while the as
surances made by the Republican
party that prosperity would return
with the election of McKinley, has
proven true. Oregon cannot afford
that its fair name suffer by the defeat
of the Republican party and the
cause of sonnd money.
The duty of every good citizen is
plain. Politics must be sent to the
background, while good judgment
and patriotism predominate. A
sweeping victory in June will be a
splendid advertisement for this state,
and the end is well worth the em
ployment of all-legitimate meant.
Candidates for the legislature this
year. should be chosen with particu
lar caution. There should be no
room for men .of the Brownell type.
To be a member of the legislative
assembly is an airbition worthy any
honorable citizen ; but it isn't every
voter who is fit for the position. Po
litical' parties treat this matter too
lightly; but the people are becoming
aroused to the necessity of having
cleaner representation, and it would
be well for the nominating conven
tion to consider well before making
nominations.
' If the Republican party is defeated
in Oregon, such a result would be
due, in large measure, to the internal
dissensions of the party. There, is
need for - broad-minded statesman

WHY OPPOSITION EXISTS It)
The Mitchell Republicans, have
about leached the conclusion that no
extra session of the legislature will be
called. Governor Lord has been
asked time and again if he intends to
do so. and the invariable answer has
been that he sees no necessity for
such action on his part. The only
desire on the part of the Mi'.chell
Repub'icans to have an extra legisla
tive session lies in the hope inat pos
siblv J. H. Mitchell would secure
enough votes to get back into the
Unite J States senate. The term ot
the 19th legislative assembly expires
after the promulgation of the official
vote cast for senators and represent
atives at the election next June,
after which any call tor a special ses
sion ' would be directed to those
elected to serve during the 20th bi
ennial session. Oregonian.
This is about as near correct as
the Oregonian is able to state a fact
nowadays whenever local politics are
concerned, and yet anj'one who is at
all conversant with the 'situation
knows that the above article is far
from true. It is the Simon men
who do not want an extra session of
the legislature and who, through the
connivance of Governor Lord, have
been able to prevent it They are
opposed to an extra session because
they fear Mr. Mitchell, or some gen
tleman over whose - head the Simon
hat does not fit, might be elected.
The Mitchell men, or anti Simon
men, or whatever you may wish to
call them, may or may not be in
favor of an extra session. We have
no information upon that point, but
we do know that the people of Ore
gon, irrespective of political faction,
are desirous that Oregon should have
her prorer representation in the
United States senate, and that the
senator to be chosen shall not be t
Democrat, Populist, nor both.
It is safe to assume that the Ore
gonian and Joe Simon would rather
see a Populist like Pennoyer or
Bourne elected senator ' than that
some man like Binger Herman, John
H. Mitchell or Charles W. Fulton
should be chosen. The interests of
the state are as nothing in Joe Si
mon'8 opinion compared with polit
ical prestige and pull.
The Dingley tariff continues to
justify itself, at least to its friends,
by the revenue receipts. February,
though a short month, showed the
largest returns of any month since it
was enated, exceeding (15,000,000.
The total of receipts for the month
was $ 28,572,000 and the expendr-
tures $26,599,000, showing a surplus
of a little less than $2,000,000. As
compared with Febraary, 1897, the
income is considerably larger and the
expenditures somewhat smaller.
There was" then a deficit ot nearlj
four and a half millions. The Ding
ley law has been in operation now
seven full months, during which it
has produced $75,500,000. Com
pared with the first seven months of
the Wilson tariff, this shows a differ
ence of somewhat less than $3,000,
000 in favor of the productive capa
city of the Wilson law. It is, of
course, to be remembered that the
importations during the last four or
five months of the Wilson law were
extremely heavy in anticipation of
the advance of rates, and therefore
the importations were correspond
ingly light in the first four months of
the Dingley law. The customs re
celpts for the last month were the
largest February receipts since 1893.
Very little doubt is now entertained
by the friends of the Dingley tariff
that it will produce a sufficient in-,
come, and that for the rest of the
current fiscal year it will show a
handsome surplus, with the constant
increase manifested in internal reve
nue returns. , v
There is need in the United States
senate pf another member represent
ing Oregon. It is not reasonable to
expect that one man can properly at
tend to all the necessities of the state,
and they can but suffer m his hands.
The duty before Governor Lord is
plain, and unless he hears, the call,
bis political future is undone. It
makes no difference who is chosen
senator, provided he is an able, con-
scientious Republican in accord
with the platform of his party and
anxious to further the material pros
perity of the state. We want no
Populist to represent us ; yet such a
calamity is possible unless an extra
session is called. (
Governor Leedy, of Nebraska, has
undertaken to run the supreme court
of the United States. He will find
this a bigger job on his hands than
Pennoyer bad when he tried to run
President Cleveland.

WILLIAM'S GREAT STABLE,
Three Hundred and Forty Horses,
Eleven for tbe Empreu.
The "marstall," or stable of the Ger
man emperor, consists of 340 saddle and
carnage horses, all from five to ten
years old. Eleven of tbe finest of these
are reserved especially for the use of
the empress. Six of them are brown
trakehnes and are for carriage use, and
the others are broken to saddle. .
The horses are entered in the stables
when they are "five years old and are
trained a half yean before they, are
used. The requirements are hard
They must be showy and fiery, be per
feet in action and still be as gentle as
lambs. They must be broken to the
noises and traffic of city streets, to
troop3 and to hot infantry and artil'
lery fife, and must be taught, in addi
tion, to remain perfectly unmoved
when there is loud shouting from the
great crowds all around them.
The empress was a poor horsewoman
when she was married, but since then
she has ridden almost daily. She has a
special stallmeister who rides with her.
lie is a beautiful creature in a red coat
embroidered with gold, white riding
breeches and high black boots. For or
dinary occasions, such as the daily
pleasure drives of the empress, she has
a coachman, two. outriders and one
mounted man ahead. For festal' occa
sions, even though she be alone in the
carriage, six great biacic traKennes
draw her carriage. The leaders are rid
den by men in handsome livery.
In parades she rides a great geldmg
and wears a dress modeled after the
cuirassier uniform, witn a big wnite
feather-covered hat. Her hunter is a
brown horse.
BURROS FOR JAPAN.
A Biff Dnncn of Them to Be Shipped
from Oregon Rocgci.
. Not long ago, when tV. L. Powell and
A. J. Powell were riding through Wal
lowa county to buy horses they noticed
on the range nutaerous-herdsof burros.
They hunted up the owner, a hotel man
at Elgin, says the' Portland Oregonian.
'What do you want for .those .bur
ros?" asked one of the Powellsv.
The owner fixed no price, but would
sell.
'I'll give you $3.50 a head and round
them tip myself or six dollars a head,
you to deliver them at the corrals."
A con-tract was made on the latter
basis for 600 head. The owner found
the job of collecting those burros a big
one. They were wild and free and ob
jected to captivity. Since August last
from six to ten men have been, busy
with lariats, and they have just finished
the work. When a bunch of six or
seven were captured their heads were
tied together and they were released
until wanted. Nearly 1,000 head, many
of them young jacks, were at last
rounded up and delivered. The Powells
took them all. They will be shipped to
Seattle, and the majority are destined
for Japan to be used there as pack ani
mals. Some go to the Klondike, how
ever. The younger ones will be re
leased by the Powells on the ranges
near Prbsser, Wash., to further in
crease and multiply.
a dozen years or so ago xne paoK Train
of an emigrant-outfit, consisting ofbur
ros, was turned loose in Wallowa valley.
From these ancestors sprang the 1,000
head that now comprise the novel
shipment of the Powells. ...

Prominent among the business men of
Detroit, Mich., is Patrick H. Monahan, who
resides at 199 Baker Street.
He has been actively engaged in the gro
cery business for the past forty-seven years,
of which forty-two years have been in Detroit.
Coming here nearly half a century ago he
started into business at the comer of Second

Monahan Marine Grocery was kept open for
the convenience of the lake boats. He is
the best known and oldest retail grocery
dealer in Detroit. He has been successful
in business by his square dealings, and is yet
to be found behind the counter any day at
his large store, corner of Twelfth and Baker
Streets. To a reporter, he recently said :
" When we first opened the Jefferson Avenue

vessels that needed supplies, wanted thein

hour counts with them and we had a double
set of clerks that worked day and night. I
have been hustling all my life. No man
can succeed in business without hustling.
Some people hustle too much, and I was one
of them.
"About four years ago I had to give up
on account of my back giving out. It had
bothered me for years. For a week I sat

much for nearly two years, and doctored for
my kidneys. My friends advised me to try
remeaies mat iney nau imui m, men
neurit all of them. I was ready for any
remedy that would relieve me, but I did
not receive any Denent.
"I read considerable during my sickness
and in my daily paper I noticed frequently
articles regarding the wonderful cures made
by Dr. Williams Pink Pills for Pale People,
and how the pills contained, in a condensed
form, all the elements necessary to give new
life and richness to the blood and restore
shattered nerves. One day I read of a case
like mine, in which a complete cure had
been effected. That convinced me that the
pills had merit, and I decided to try them as
they cost only 50 cents a box (never in loose
form) or six boxes for $2.50, and could be had
at any druggist's, or by mail from the Dr.
Williams' Medicine Company, Schenectady,
N.Y. The next day I asked the druggist re
garding them. He said. 'We sell large quan
tities of the pills and they are well recom
mended by the purchasers.' They build up
the blood, and restore the glow of health to
pale and sallow cheeks, and effect a radical
cure in all cases arising from mental worry,
overwork or excesses of whatever nature. I
bought a box and took it home, and commenced
to take the pills. Before I had taken one box
that intense pain which for fifteen years
had nearly killed me was gone. I con
tinued nsing the pills nntil I had taken
four boxes, which made me feel as well as I
had for years previous to my sickness. My
friends noticedthe change at once and were
more than pleased to see me out again. I
continued using the pills, and in less than
sixty days I was so much improved that I
was able to attend to business."
