They are all Tongue Republicans
in the north end of the county, ad-
cording to our Beagle correspondent.
This is the way he puts it: "Tub
Medford Mail, our weekly wel
come visitor, voices the .general
sentiment of all Republicans in the
north end of the county when it
says Hon. Tbos. H. Tongue should
be returned to congress."
As events are being dimly, but
no less certainly, foreshadowed from
the mists of the future, it is impos
sible to foresee what will be the
consequences of the issue of the
Spanish war. That the United
States niuBt advance from its pro
vincialism and take its place among
the great powers, is an imperative
decree which it can neither ignore
nor set aside. Whether such far
reaching results were contemplated
or not, it is now too late to stop to
consider. What is now essential iB
io so shape public policy as to de
rive the largest measure of benefit
from the changed condition of af
fairs. There are but two distinctive
essentials in government, and these
are, to make provision for, and
control its finances and to regulate
the conduct of its citizens. As an
economic feature of the regulation
of its citizens, it is the duty of the
government to so provide for, guard
and protect publio interests as will
beet promote the prosperity of its
Members. The Spanish war. though
it has involved the United States
ia Colonial complications of great
delicacy and responsibility, ytt the
compensating result has been that
it has completely unhinged and
thrown open the oriental gates of
trade, and rendered available a vast
leld of productive energy, rich as
it is boundless, in the commercial
exchanges that go to make up the
world's markets. To take advantage
if this market and meet it with
vigor and energy and in its largest
ense, should be the determined
-purpose of the American people.
While the war with Spain was
waged primarily to protect Cuba
from a gross system of extortion
and tyranny, it ultimated in seem
ing to the United States a valuable
commercial basis in Asia with ex
tended outlets for our products and
manufactures. In the years past,
the marts of this great empire of
boundless resources and untold
wealth, have been closed to pro
vincial America, and European and
. Asiatic powers have enjoyed to the
full the golden margine from a rich
and varied traffic. This is changed.
The flag floats over Asiatic territory,
And the United States holds the
"keys that are destined to unlock
every port in the oriental world.
Republican voters of the county
will do Oregon and the entire Pa
cific coast a great service by in
structing their delegates to the
.county convention to vote for Tongue
delegates to the congressional con
vention. Never before in the history
of the coast has been the election of
a congressman of so much impor
tance as at the present time. The
talk of electing a new man is the
sheerest nonsense. Oregon cannot
nflbrd to educate a new congress
man to the requirements of the
state at this critical time. The
rapidly extending trade and com
merce of the coaBt with the Orient
will require great core and vigilance

decide in no small measure the
future oommereial deetioy of out
state. It is apparent, therefore,
how essential it is that the usue
should be watched and guided by a
wise head and steady hand. In a
matter of suoh far reaching conse
auences to the commonwealth, it
.
would be an inexcusable error to
suffer publio interests to become
subservient to personal or party
ends. The choice to be made is
one wholly affecting propositions of
business, and should be decided
upon business principles. Summed
ud in a concise sentence, it resolves
itself into this Bimple, practical
question: Who can best mee the
reauirements of the situation? That
Mr. Tongue has made an active and
useful representative and shown
himself qualified to grapple wits,
and meet the leading questions of
the day, and has to hisoredit large
experience and influence, cannot
successfully be denied.
Following is an editorial from
the Oregonian, of April 8, 1896:
"The Albauy convention has
done its work well. Mr. Tongue
is a man who will represent the
intelligence of Ortgou, who un
derstands its need and its re
sources, and who has the en
ergy and ability to make itsj
influence what it should be in
the national house of represen
tatives. No man in Oregon
has expounded the principles
or upheld the traditions of the .
Republican party more faith
fully or more cogently than has
Mr.-Tongue. He understands
the essential principles of the
money question, and no tele
gram from Washington would
be needed to furnish assurance
that ihe platform of the St.
Louis convention will be' his
platform. From a party stand
point his nomination is pecul
iarly gratifying as his with- ,
drawal from the sena orial fight
last winter, after the caucus
had declared for Senator Dolpb,
was prompt, in good spirit, and
so far as appeared, conscien
tioufly adnered to."
The deprecating wail of "govern
ment without the consent of the
governed," beard upon every hand,
is an empty sound without meaning,
save as it may have reference to a
people wiBe and strong enough to
appreciate and enforce it. Many
people within the jurisdiction of the
United States, aside from the re
cent outlying possessions, ' are gov- j
erned without their consent. No
territory, except the states of the
union, enjoys anything like self
government.. The American people
have not simply 'one government,
as many suppose, but a number of
special governments to meet special
cases. The District of Columbia is
governed by congress, Alaska by
Federal appointees, while ' New
Mexico, Arizona, and Oaklahoma
are allowed a delegate to congress
who is not permitted the privilege
of a vote. The Indian territory is
praotically without any govern
ment at all. With respect to the
consent of the governed, very much
depends on where a citizen happens
to live. If his home is outside of a
state, be is governed without bis
consent, and is practically without
representation. The people of the
District of Columbia have neith' r
voice, vote nor representation, and
in fact, are completely disfranchise
except for municipal purposes
within the city. They are governed
entirely without their consent, by
congressmen from the several states,
and don't howl about- "government
by injunction" either. '

Harvey K. Lounsbury, traveling
freight agent (01 the Southern Puulllu
Company, has boon In the vulley this
week working on tho creamery propo
sition. Mr. Lounshury, accompanied
by Fort Hubbard, Tuesday morning
started out with team and made a three
days' oauvass of tho eou'try around
Modford In the Intercuts of the estab
lishment of a creamery here. They
fouuil every furmur with whom they
tnlkvd eager to ougu'go lu dairying and
some of them wanted stock in thu cream
ery. In all their canvass thuy did not
Dud a single farmer who talked dls
coiiraglngly ot tho projeot. All teemed
anxious to learn all they possibly could
of the proposition and were ready to ac
cept any class of farming that would
assure to them a greater profit tbun
they wore realising from growing
wheat. These gentlomen, la pretty
nearly every Instance, oonylnced tho
farmers, by producing facts anu fig
ures, that dairying was the avenue
through which they might escape tho
wheat bondage. The greatest difficulty
encountered was the scarcity of oows.
There are probably not to exceed 00
oows within an area wnioh would be
tributary to a creamery established in
Medford, but many ot the farmers ex
pressed a willingness to add to their
herds If there was assurance given that
aoreamery would be established.
A co-operallvo oreumery ut Medford
would cost say :000, which could be
easily provided for through the sale to
farmers and morobants of sixty shares
of slock at .) per share. If a 0'ettinery
was now In operation here and receiv
ing the milk supply from 300 cows the
following results could reasonably bo
expected per annum:
Milk from 300 cows, or 4600 pounds
per year for each cow, would give a
grand total ot 1,3T0,000 pounds peryoar
for tho 300 cowb. Taking the test of
cows supplying milk to the Ashland
oreamery as a basis we would have as a
product 60,802 pounds of butter. At
twenty-three cents per pound the
amount realized would bo 17.405.02.
Now let us suppose tho output was mar
keted in Portland. We will estimate
the cost of freight and commission at
two cents per pound and tho price of
manufacture at three cents per pound,
we find that the expense of operating
and marketing would not exceed
13403.10; which would leave 1:1,972.52
to be divided among the patrons, or
flti. 57 as tho earnings of each cow.
With these figures looking the farm
ers squarely la the face thore eems
little grounds for hesitancy In taking
hold of the proposition.
There will probably be a m etlnj of
farmers and business men oallud to de
cide what Btepa will be taken In this
matter, announcements of which will
be made either through these columns
or by posters, or by both .
