Over 400,000 tons of merchant veeeele were built in the United - States during the fiscal year which ended on June 30, 1900, and yet but one, a steamship of 1,770 gross tons, was built exclusively for our foreign trade. Under the operation of the Wil son . free trade tariff for reveuue only, there was a deficit of $108,- 000,000 in thirty-five months. Un der the Dingley tariff for protection there was a Burplus of 146,000,000 in thirty-two months. Nebraska hogs Bold in Omaha, Nay 31st, at $4.60 per head more than on the same date four years ago, yet the World Herald, Mr, Bryan's personal organ, which is published in Omaha, asserted very vigorously during the 1896 cam paign that the prices of no farm products could advance without the free and unlimited coinage of silver. ' No one can fail to appreciate the contrast between the improved com mercial conditions of today and those of the presidential campaign four years ago, and it will be im possible to persuade the voting teasces that they should return the power of government to the hands of those whose erroneous policies and micmansgement brought four years of dt pression and distress. The charge to the Republican ad ministration gave immediate relief, and people are not likely to forget or overlook the fact. Klamath Falls Hepublican. Reports from Fekin give little fcope that any of the foreigners are alive. The vicious and cruel fanat ics have shown a degree of barbar ian, not hitherto imputed to them. Their treatment of wounded foreign ers who fall into their hands, brands them as a race incapable of appre ciating the amenities of enlightened warfare. They are a nation of mur derous assaseinB and cut throats, more vicious, bloodthirsty and re lentless than the lowest tribe of sav ages. Well will this benighted em pire pay for the high handed out rages committed under its implied sanction. Additional Local Ittau. The news of the'' death of rac Skoel, which ooourretl at Salem Tues day afternoon, was reoelved In Medford the same day, and much grief was ex pressed by the many friends here who have known the young man from child hood. The cause of death was hemor rhage of the lunirs. He lived but a short time after having been taken, He was at his work, that of eleotrlolan, at ten o'clock in. the forenoon and at four In the afternoon of ' the same day he was a oorpae. The remains were brought to Grants Puss, where his parents reside, on Wednesday, and the funeral took plaoe yesterday. Dooeasod was twenty-two years of age and had been In delicate health for several months, having had several hemorrhages previous to this one. The sympathy of all Medford people goes out to the family in their hour of sad bereavement. Leondor Bros.' otrcus gave two ex hlbitlons in Medford Wednesday. The afternoon entertainment was fairly well patronized but In' the evening there was only a small orowd in attendance. The performance, while not as great In extent of flash and trumpet blast as some shows on the road, was first-class In what there waa ot it. Every feature was (rood better than Is generally seen in the larger shows. There Is no fllm-lammlng about It It's strlc tly up- to-date and good In every detail. The show travels by wagons and has just come In from a hard trip across deserts and over mountains in eastern Oregon and the men and horses are pretty well jaded. The show was in Jacksonville yesterday and is billed for Gold Hill to day and Grants Pass Saturday. For sale, two good driving horses; see Sohermerborn at second hand store. R. H. Ealley is putting on more 'shine" than anyone. His new briok, the front of which is one of the pretti est hi the city, is completed, and to finish op a good job In first-class shape he has decided to put down a oement walk In front of both his brick blocks. This will be an appreciated improve ment and while it's a little rich in price at the start it lasts enough longer than wood to more thau pay the differ enceand as for a brick walk, why, they are just a little worse than none at all. Postofllce patrons will please note that Mr. Halley is going lo tear np his brick nuisance and cement the whole works. Alt' London, July 17. 12:45 p; m. The Daily Mail today gives the Assouiated Press the following dispatch from its Shanghai correspondent under date of July 17: The alliod troops resumed the attack upon the Chinese walled oity of .Tien Tsin on the morning of July 14 and succeeded in reaching the walls aud capturing all the forts.

No national party since the formation of the government ever manifested the truckling, ob ciquious, servile and subservient fpirit which was manifested in the edoptu.n of the. Democratic plat form. It is Bryan populism, pure and simple. So supreme is Mr, Bryan's authority over' his party that he would suffer it to be nothing else. - He is the most absolute and uncompromising political dictator . the United States ever produced If Mr. Bryan, as president, should exercise the same dominating spirit over the affairs of government he now exercises over his party, well may the people of the country fear imperialism so loudly disclaimed gainst by this absolute czar of his party. This disposition to rule and dictate without opposition or argu merit is the most forceful considers tion why it should be dangerous for Mr. Bryan to be elected the chief magistrate of a great, independent and progressive republic Takes Up.

The Japan ese Infantry and mounted battery advanced to the foot of the walls, supported by the Americans and French. De spite valiant attacks, the al lies were only able to hold the positions gained outside the walls preparatory to re newing the assault in the morning. The casualties sustained by the allies were exceedingly heavy, especially those to Americans, French and Jap anese. Several explosions in the native city were caused by the bombardment. The Chinese appear to have exhausted their supply of smokeless powder, as they are now using black powder. J. W. Curry writes Tub Mail, from Washington, D.

"Dairying in Oregon is oreating a good many demands. , As a result of the growth of the industry thou sands of dollars worth of new sup plies of. many kinds are being bought, Besides herds of dairying stock at a considerable cost to the owners. Considerably more than $1,000,000 will be put into circul tion in 1900 through the activity the dairying line. "Large supply houses and whol sale firms realizing the value of the dairying business, are beginning cater to the trade and have spec! representatives on the road. William M. Springer, of a supply house i Denver, has returned from a trip through the valley, and, like every one else who understands dairying, is enthusiastic at the opportunitie the valley offers for dairying. " 'In my judgment,' said he. mere is no spot on earth more favorable for dairying than the Willamette valley. It has climate feed, water and all the natural con ditionB for perfect dairying. Fvery country has some drawbaoks. The valley has only one, aud it can easily overcome bad roads. Wood roads are essential to successful dairying, and the sooner they are improved the sooner dairymen, and for that matter, all olasses, will reap the benefit.' "Mr. Springer said butter could be produced moreoheaply in Oregon than in any state of the Union. this state does not become the ban ner butter state it will be the fault of the dairymen. In his opinion stock would not need feeding dur ing the summer months when the grass was dry. Cows would not give so muoh milk, but it was rioher and would produce more butter. "Mr. Springer said there was no danger of over production. There would be a market for all the butter Oregon could turn out, and that would represent a pretty big figure." The same conditions, or even bet ter, favorable to the dairying bus! nets exist in the Rogue river valley and still there is bnt one creamery in the entire valley. There has been much talk upon the creamery line in Medford and the surrounding country, but un fortunately the matter has been al lowed to take a too easy pace, When the farmers shall have gotten through with some of their rush work it is probable, and to be hoped, that they will give the subject more attention. . ..
