The tendency of the tinuss toward a consolidation or inttuwi in vrbiou the lahoror, the man who is compelled, as is the farmer, to dt hlsown work, is robbed. Hew is what Senator lngalls fans to say ol the situation. Labor and capital should not be an tagonists,allies rether. They should not be opponents and enemies, but colleagues and auxiliaries, whoar co-operative rivalry is essential to national prosiwiily. But I can not forbear to atttrtu that a Ktit ioiil system which under such despotic power can be wrested fitm tin people and vested in the few is a democracy only in name. A fin ancial system under which more than one half of the tnormow wealth of the country, derived from the bounty .of uature and the labor of all, is owned by a Huh more than 30,000 people whih l,tH0,iHK American eituens. able aud willinjs to t .il, are liomeles." tromjw, starving for bread, rwjumi adiustment. A swial system which offers to tender, virtuous and inde pendent woman the alternative betweeu prostitution aud suicide a an escape from hegpiry is orgnniiml crime, for which some day unre lentiuK justice will demand atone ment aud explanation. Mr. Presi dent, the man who loves his country and who studies her history will BCiueh in vain for any national cause for its appalling condition. The earth has not forgotten to yield her increase. There has been no general failure of harvests. We have had betiignaut skies and the early aud the late rain. Xeithei famine nor pestilence has deci mated our population nor wasted itseuergies. Immigration is flow In from every land, and we are in the lusty prime of national youth aud strength, with unexampled resources aud every stimulus to their development; but sir, the great body of the American peo ple are engaged today in studj irifc these problems that I have sag gtwted in this morning. They art disheartened with misfortune. They are tired of the exactions of the snwrnhitors. They desire peace and rest They are turning their attention to the great Industrial niirtitlmis which underlie their material prosperity. They are in different to party. They wire noth ing for republicanism tor for dem ocracy as such. They are ready tosav. "A plague on both your houses," and they are ready, also, Mr. President, to hail aud to wel come any organization, any meas ure, any leader that promises them relief from the profitless strife ol ftoliticians aud this turbulent and .liHti-iutinc agitation which hah alreadyculmiuated in violence and . may eud in blood. Such, sir, is the verdict which I read in the elections from which we have just emerged; a verdict that ' was unexpected by the leaders ol both parties, and which surprised alike the victors and the van quished. It was a spontaneous,un premeditated protest of the people against existing conditions. It wa tt revolt of the national conscience against injustice; a movement thai is full of pathos and also lull of dan ger, because such movements some time make victims of those who an gniltles. It was not a republican defeat It was not a democratic victory. It was a great upheavel and uprising, independent of and superior to both. It was a crisis that may become a catastrophe, filled with terriblo admonition, but not without encouragement to those who understand and are ready to co-operate with it Is round numbers there are 3,500,000 scpiare miles of territory in these United Slates. In u square mile are C40 acres of land therefore the area of the United States in acres is 2,210,000,000. II all other public taxes and income.' were abolished such as tarilts, sales of public lands, direct taxe. of each state, and a tax of one dol lar an acre levied, the incoim would amount to the yearly sum of 12, 240, 000, 000, The income valae of good farm land being only say $5 an acre, and of town lots much more, the average tax on wild lands could be made as low as teD cents an acre, farm lands thirty cents, and incomes in cities, aim taxes on franchises of corporations wake the balance. It costa about $700,000,000 year lyto support our general govern ment, and about that much more yearly to support our state and municipal government. If lands alone were taxed, giving an income of $2,240,000,000, a full $1,000,000, 000 would 'remain to be used in making the life of onr people easier. Why should products of labor be directly taxed? Why not place taxes at the foundation and let our people be tenants to our govern ment instead of the grasping indi viduals, now fast becoming syndi cates of immense power. Tntikfkndente has always stood ' '4 "' M tMimotttU' lo i ;3h hnJ with help el.tuiu'legislat Urn in tavor of the Normal School; and has also been lilwral in making money con tributions. Monmouth tiectls no more help, so now let us have a meeting of eitiens and decide on a course to pursue in having the Oregon legislature pass laws to keep the Willamette river opeu throughout the year. It has been estimated that only a few thnusaud dollars expended in connection with the appropriation by the gov ernment will keep an open river throughout the year. Axn how Independence Is soon to be connected with Salem by motor. Our merchants are already beginning to think of the day when all the trade of the town will goto Salem. Monmouth thought all its trade would come to Inde pendence, but it did not, when the motor lino was completed, aud so will Independence Ui surprised at the result Hundreds will visit our tow n who never come now and our county w ill fill up us never before. We welcome the advent ol the electric lino from Satem.
