The con ipt roller of the currency in his recent report to congress gives some figures which show that, although since the election is over the matter has heen disregarded, that the guaranty of bank deposits remains a desirable object. From his report it appears that since the creation of national banks, in 1865, the total losses to creditors, actual and estimated, have been $-32,000,000. The annual average loss is now $90.5,293, which is only 0.06 per cent of the annual average deposits of the active national banks, amounting to $1,598,000,000 for tho fn,.i, years since 1865. This average loss to depositors and other creditors, of uufc M.wmnurecmis ot l per cent of the total average de posits in national banks, shows that a tax upon deposits of one-tenth of 1 per cent would be much more than ample to provide a guaranty fund that would give absolute se curity to depositors in all national banks. Hence, would it not pay you, Mr. Business Man, to pay your one-tenth of 1 per cent to insure vour deposits? AV ould it not be worth $10 a year to you to protect a bal ance of $10,000? . ! ffjf f& : Hi i) I : ; .) 'i'll - - BUY AT HOME. It is gratifying to note that the people of the state of Oregon are taking increasing interest in Oregon made goods and are beginning to realize that an article mami lactured near at home is, in most instances, the equal of he one bearing the mark "made in Germany or some her place remote from this state. Distance mav lend ,.f..I)m.!iaVC I'T in .(?7Bin a hu'Se nunibpi- of local man ut. cturing plants which buy their materials close at hand and give Oregon development the boost of substantial pay rolls It is manifestly unfair that our people should buy an article which has only a foreign label to lend it added value. There is a world of wisdom in the advice to "pat ronize home industry." Nothing will lend a more substan tial aid to the development of Oregon's latent resources. i.V UNJUST DISCRIMINATION. Three leaders of the American Federation of Labor, Gompers, Mitchell and Morrison, were last week adjudged guilty of contempt and sentenced by Justice Wright of the supreme court of the District of Columbia to" serve terms of imprisonment. And as a result press dispatches tell of a flood of telegrams being poured into the White House, urging the president to interfere and stay the exe cution of sentence. Labor leaders are unanimous in de noimcing Justice Wright, calling his action an outrage. there is no doubt but that the thvee men were guiltv of contempt. They violated an . anti-bo vcott injunction issued against the Federation and its officers, in the suit brought against them by the Buck Stove and Range com pany. The concern was boycotted and the labor leaders after declaring their intention to disregard anv anti-bov-cott injunction, did so. That they took this action upon the advice of their attorneys based upon their constitutional rights, makes them no less guilty, but it does resolve itself into a question of constitutional law and its bearing upon what are called the inherent and necessary powers of a court to punish for what it may deem contempt of its own mandates. Gompers. Mitchell and Morrison violntml the court at their own peril, and took a hazardous chance ot nemg upneiu nv the court ot appeals of the District, of Columbia, to which court an appeal has been taken. There seems but little chance, however, of a reversal on appeal. The United States supreme court decided in the famous "Hatters case" that a boycott is a conspiracy in restraint of trade, and so under the ban of the Sherman anti-trust law, and that labor organizations are under that statute! as corporations or individuals. .However, having taken the step they did, believing themselves within their constitutional rights, they have been treated villi undue severity by .Judge Wright. And the sentence amounts to injustice when one reimubers how the other violators of the Sherman anti-trust and the inter state commerce law, which include E. .11. llarrimau and John D. Rockefeller, have all escaped jail. It seems almost as if the courts were discriminating between the classes. Surely the workinginan is entitled to as much consideration as the millionaire at the bar of justice. As The Tribune "perverts facts," we would respectful ly refer the following question to tho Mail, "so that the people may know:" If the present city tax levy is 17 1-2 mills, what will it bo when the revenue to the city from the saloons some $8000 next year, is lost?
