Subscribe for four months Still they come. Kveu the few North Carollua Itepublicans are do Bertiug the old hulk. ' A dispatch from Winston, X. 0., says: "Dr. J. J. Mott, of Sateevilks has de cliued to accept the place on the Kepublican state ticket to which he was noiuiuated yesterday, and says he will vote the Democratic ticket, Mott is called the 'Iron Duke' of North Carolina, aud has for many years been the dictator of the Republican party iu that state, His action , insures a Democratic victory iu the state," 'From the local columns of the country press the conclusion cau be drawn that the towns all over Ore goo are making rapid improve ments, and that they are generally prosperous. Aew buildings, txttn business blocks and houses, are go ing up,and strecta are beiug opened, while bonds are being voted to provide them with water-works and sewerage systems. The crops are good, and mortgages are becoming a thing of the past The farming population is buoyant aud the townpeople are happy with in creased trade. Telegram, The Astoria JUuliil sas that il "the liepubucatis or Oregon are so badly demoralized in every county in the state as they are in Clatsop, Cleveland will have a walk-over. Here they are thorough ly demoralized, disorganized, and discouraged, and are making no campaign whatever. This state of affairs has been brought about by the greed and treachery of, the bosses, who have worked polities for all there was in it for themselves. The Clatsop county ring isdowucd, and the people will see to it that it stays down." Our friend, if ho will take a squint over the entire coun try, will find the same condi tion existing in every state in the Union. In fact, the g. o. p. is de moralized uigh unto deuth every where. They tell the story of a Soul hern gardener who drove into town with a load of cabbage, which he offered at two heads for five cents. The negroes would not buy, becaune they "had no meat to boil with the cabbage." The farmer went to a store and bought a side of pork, which he cut into small slices. Then he put a slice on each cabbage and offered the combination for five cent. The negroes fell over them selves in their haste to buy, though they paid more than at the former price. Here we have a practical illustration of the wisdom of supplying what customers want. The wise finds what his customers need and then offers it the unwise man gets mad because people won't bny what he thinks they should. BUiietnmn, In passing an ordinance for the purpose of removing all unwhole some matter from the streets and public places, back yards, etc., the city fathers have done the right thing at the right time. To be sure there is no disease here now, but in view of the rapid approach of the dreaded cholera from the East, and with diphtheria on the increase in the adjoining county of Crook, we had better be a looking a, little out. The citizens should show their ap preciation of the council's efforts by not waiting until they are forced to clean up around their premises, and shonld even go a little farther and use disinfectants freely in their homes. Prevention is so much better than a possible cure, Fos sil Jourrud, Fossil is not behind the times, as its name would indi cate. Let Independence take a timely warning from the above. FQRHItlN TtlAIti. Twenty five yearn ago the pro duct of grain In the United States was on an average thirty-three bushels fur each inhabitant. Last year the graiu product was fifty. Ave bushels for each man, woman, and child iu the country. We have brought into cultivation about one filth of our arable land, and upon that small acreage we pro duce not only this grain crop, but all our cotton, rice, tobacco, sugar, and vegetables. Now is it any re flection upon the most Intelligent farming population iu the world to My that we as yet produce things by methods that are wastefult It cannot be otherwise as long na our farmers are working clump lands, frequently virgin soil. They are, to use the words of Kdward At kin- son, still ''treating their lands its mines and not as lalmratories." Nothing, then, is clearer than that the present farm product of the conutry is but a meagre fraction of what the country cau and will pro duce as methods of cultivation m prove aud larger amis of laud are brought under the plow. So with manufactures, surpassing all (Him pctitors in the abundance and cou venteiieo of raw materia), and iu the invention and use of machin ery. It is not easy to imagine a limit to our capacity for produe tiou In auy of the grert machine using Indust ries. Indeed, it is well known that in these Industrie and in some others our existing plant is more than equal to the d mauds of our consumption. If, for years to come, we should build no more mills or factories, If w should invent no improvements in machinery or in methods of pro duction, we should not overtax our present equipment, working eon stantly with its full complement of hands. ith the capacity to pro duce so much Iu excess of our needs, what is the ludisNnsnble conditiou of the prosperity ami growth tf both farming and maun fact tiring T Plainly, and hcyoud controversy, mora market. Napo leon oucesaid very aptly and truly "Foreign commerce represents sit perabuiidanee and good for ngri citltnre and manufactures." Th superabundance of one iiuople must le exchanged for the stipcra buudanee of other peoples, ot those who produce it find no profitable return for their lulwr, aud forrlg commerce is the only chaune through which that exchange cau be made. To day, however, there are two ways of dealing with a stir plus, whether it lie of farm pro ducts or factory products. The profitable aud natural way, as stated by Napoleon, is to find vent for it into markets where it may be disposed of at paying pri ccs. The artificial way, little kuowu in the days of Napoleon, is to reduce production to the renin nerative demands of the huiuo mar kets. The farmer must choose one of these two ways. He cannot by any scheme of combination, or auy lore sights of weather or seasons, or of the various pests thiit ravage his crops, estimate in advance how many acres ho must plant in graiu to meet the demand of the home consumers. He must look for prosperity not through small sales at artificial or law-made prices in the markets of his own country only, but through the largest pos sible sales in all markets. Foreign trade is, therefore, tho solo present or future dependence of the Aincr lean farmer for getting rid of his superabundance, aud for good em ployment; that is, for good return for his labor, lint in the United States, under licpublican rule, we deal with foreign trade an with a threatening pestilence, and admit it to tho country under all manner of vexations and oppressive burdens, Farmers, now think of this: you now hold your grain awaiting a de inand from a foreign market to re numerate you for your past year's labor; think, if I huso markets are virtually closed against an exchange of products with ours; what will lie the result! Ill advised legislation has already reduced the price of our products, and a continuation of the same legislation will be still more disastrous iu the future. SENA TO It macrons XT.

Major McKinley was sum moned from Ohio to wake up the farmers to tho beauties and benefi cencies of the tariff. Senator and ex-Secrctary Proctor, in a speech made in Ar.gust at Kill land, told tho people that "tho vole cast for tho state ticket this year is really your vote for president," and fur ther said: "If the Kepublican par ty maintains its average majority it will bo hailed as a Kepublican vio tory. If tlio Democrat! reduce that majority it will be heralded far and wide as an omen of Domo- erulle success iu the nation." Ap plying tho Proctor test, the Demo crats seciii to have gotten away with it. The average majority in Septomlior elections' in presiden tial years for tho past twenty years is 25,000. This year the republi can vote has fulleu to about !t!l,000, a loss of 0,000 since 1888, and the plurality is reduced to 20,000 the lowest in all Uils period. It is 3,700 smaller thau the Kepublican majority iu 187(1, which was fol lowed by tho election of Tlldou, aud 'J, 700 smaller than the majority ofl88Hhat presaged tho election oi Cleveland. The country will accept Senator Proctor's words, and regard tho re duced Kepublican majority in Ver mont us "an omen of Democratic success In tho tmtiou." ivitctm to fight. The Itepublicans understand per fectly that their hold upon the West is pieeurlous. They are pre paring to contest several states in that section as they never felt obliged to fight for them before. The Illinois state committee has asked that Governor McKinley, Senator John Bherman, and other national leaders of distinction, es pcolnlly Germans, lie Bent to their help. They rccognl.e the fact, which some purblind Democrats at the East seek to discredit, that Illinois is a debatable state. On a poll of nearly 760,000 votes in 1888 Gen eral Harrison's plurality was only 23,105, In 1800 the Democratic plurality on treasurer was 9,847 and on congressman over 30,000, The conditions in Illinois are very favorable to the Democrats. General Stevenson's personal pop ularity lieljw the national ticket. The people believe in Grovcr Cleve land aud tariff reform. The revolt of the Germans against Republican bigotry and Intolerance is still gen end, and the state ticket is a very strong one. New York World, FLAUS OF Ft) lit NATIONS. Perhaps there is only one place ,lu the world where tho flags of four nations, each on Its own soil, may be seen waving in friendly rivalry or in defiance, according to the con ditiott of Kuropcitn politics. Mid way in the narrow channel at the southern entrance to the lied Sea Is tho dark gray Island of Perliu iiIhivu which floats the Union Jack of Britain, Surmounting the steep cliff on the neighboring shore ot Arabia is the crimson banner of Turkey, and on the opposite coast is the border line lietwecu the Red Sea territories of France and Italy whose flags are flung to the breeze within half a mile of one another, if these four nations should have a serious falling out, it would lie in tenwting to watch the comer of the world where their frontiers meet. The Hon. Thomas F. Bayard re cently addressed the class at oue of the medical colleges iu Baltimore, having for his theme, "The Lawyer and the Doctor." It has been his fortune, he says, to be thrown in contact with not a few medical men who have beeu "as the salt of the earth" in their respective commit uitics. A man who is already eminent by reason of his natural endowments may bo said to double his talent by becoming a physician, 'It has beeu my personal fortune," says Mr. Bayard, "to know such a man, It has been my privilege aud delight to accompany him in his visits where his only medicines were his personal presence and con vernation of the man himself.

Two months ago the manufacturers of these tools formed a "trust,'' and the combine now has complete control of the market. An advance has been made of 1.75 to f 2.22 per doon. Now let us see what part the pro tective duty plays In ax manufac turing. Under the McKinley law the duty is 43 per cent. The price I to the home trade is 97.70 per doten for first quality delivered on oars at the factory, and 18.24 per dozen for beveled axes. Now see the difference on the ex port trade. The first quality is de llvered in New York for tho export trade at W, 73 per doisen, a dilVer enceof 1.01, and for the beveled axes, 17.20, or a dilTcreuce of fl.04 on the doien. You can buy the American ax in England $1 doxen chwier thau you can buy them right here at the factory.
