Then it but on ufv qf obtaining 6m 1e-publlcity; but one way o obtain ing publicity (tdivrtiting-Jjfockwooii Someone asked the editor of this paper, a week or so ago, what amount of gold and Oliver was used in the industrial arte. The latest report we have is 1890, when 18,105,901 of gold and (9,231,178 in silver was used, a large part of which (two thirds) was new bullion. When Uie regors of winter are up on us, and people starve, will not riots take place. Union we are careful, some uuu will rale this na tion with a strong hand, instead of the people ruling. Our boasted liberty will then be at au end. Muss meetings should be called and pa trlotisro prevail Instead of partisan ship. Senator Sherman was asked what he thought of the prospect for the repeal bill. He replied that it all depeuded on the demoeratio side of the house, adding: 'We (referring to the repeal re publicans) are quiescent. They do not seem to realise Utat they are in the majority and responsibility for legislation rests with them. , Vukjj an assessor takes his eatb of office to asserts all the property of county and then knowingly turns in au assessment roll npon which the county court Axes the county levy, and at the same time the roll is incomplete, is he not vio lating his oath of office ami is not the county court equally at mult! Does, or does not such a state of af fairs exist in the proseut tax roll of Polk county! The New York Press, in speak ing of the demoeratio policy, says: Repeal the state bank note tax, re peal the silver purchase act, repeal the McKlnley tariff, repeal the Fed eral election law in a word, undo republican legislation, is the sole definite policy of the democratic party. Such a thing as a construc tive policy does not euter its bead. ' WSSSSSSL I Dckino 1890 the cost of the con Kress of the United States was 17, 103,469.80, and of the executive de partment 112, 526,50. 07, and of the judiciary 15,808,080.77, or a total of 125,438,119.64, or a daily ex pense of almost $70,000. The total cost of our government in 1890 was $731,126,376.22, or an average of 12000,000 a day, or about 34,000 an hour. Whenever you see a partisan paper throwing water on any at tempt at political or other reform, yon should look behiud the seem and see what causes the opposl Oon. In many cases you will find the opposition arises from ignor ance of what the party which the paper represents would want it to say. So it is the independent pa per, tied to no party, that can ex press its honest opinions. Thus on the expression editorially by papers in "direct legislation by the people," muoh depends upon what powers are behind the throne, what the opinion will be. A man up at Sheridan wants new county pared ont of Polk and Yamhill counties and spliced onto the Indian reservation west of us. Some time ago the subject of county seat division was discussed by the local press, but it was not then de termined whether the forming of new county would be practicable or easily accomplished. It is the pur pose of this paper to inquire into the matter and as early as possible give the voters, who would have voice at the next election, a due as to whether such a Droiect can be bronght to successful issue. Perry dale Patriot Tint county court at Dallas maintains a stolid silence in regard to the why and wherefore of county printing. Some of our readers are themselves wondering why this part of Polk county should receive no recognition by the county court Thiscouuty court was supposed to be unbiased and willing to divide the patronage but never has a set of officials shown more sectional fuel ing. They may have some good reason for it. but noue appears on the surface. To illustrate this mat ter we will point out to the county court that if they were so Inclined they could give the financial state ment to the West Sips as well as the Itemizer, under the law. They could also allow this office to bid on job work, without doing themselves or Polk couutv any harm. If the West Side had opposed the eleo tion of the gentlemen it might be ig nored. with propriety, but it was the wariniwt friend thoae gentle men hud In the campaign. In a recent issue of the North American Review appears an arti cle by T. R. Gilmore who takes the side of the saloon in a very con vincing manner and shows that the saloon has some good reasons for its existence and for that reason it can not be abolished. He then points out the ideal saloon, one partaking of the nature of a social club, and then shows the departures. There are new ideas contained in the arti cle. The club-room idea would embrace furnishing of reading mat ter to patrons, and that idea would be popular with the newspaper fra ternity, for if every saloon were by law compelled to subscribe and keep on file evwy newspaper with in a certain district it would be a very material help to the business particularly in a city like Port land where there are fonr hundred or more places where liquor is sold. By all means let the saloons be elevated. . The statement has been made so often, by the free .coinage papers that if the purchaslug clause of the Sherman silver bill is repealed that half the mouey of this nation will be destroyed, that many intelligent nersonahave taken the statement to be true, and believe that all the silver money now in circulation will then be worthless, or in other words "destroyed," as the papers express it The statement is not true. The repeal of the Sherman purchasing act simply means stop ping the coining of more silver, but every ounce of coined and nn coined silver now in the United States treasury or in circulation will be a full legal tender, as much as it is now, and continue to circu late. If we were to suppose that there were but two kinds of money in the United States, gold and paper, and after 1615,000 in paper was placed in circulation with 1650,000,000 in gold, it was found that increasing the paper circulation 154,000,000 a year, and no increase of gold, was apt to make the paper depreciate, a law were passed stopping the issue of the 154,000,000 yearly, does any one suppose the 015,000,000 of paper already in circulation would thereby become valueless, or be "destroyed!" Not at all. It would be more Btable than ever since the government would le bet tor able to redeem it. not be dictated to as to rales, and if these California companies do not think they get enough for their risks in Oregon they cau seek another field. The farming element down on this kind of a bulldox- ing scheme as they well know what the result would be if a foreign com bine bad this field to itself. Every man who works for the State Insurance company has his home In Oregon. Their mouey is all spent here. None of it loaves the state. This company has risen to the place it occupies in insurance circles bv hard honest work and it Is a thing of pride to the state. It is one of out institutions. Our prosperity us a state depends upon the success of home enterprise Every business of the magnitude of this, our home Insurance company that bus grown up in our midst, means thousand of dollars addeded to the wealth of our state. Further more, it menus that other business enterprises will plant themselves on our soil, feeling safe la the knowledge that the Oregon people will support Oregou institutions. These business ventures will grow and'add untold wealth to the state. The proposition that wo are to allow a foreign trust to come here and carry away our wealth is ah surd. Our farmers and our mer chants well know that It Is to their interest to put their mouey where they can get it bock again. II they spend a dollar for insur ance they want a clmnee to receive It back tor wood and grain, for but ter and eggs. Kvery merchant in the city knows that he annot spend dollar in home market without getting part of it back sgaln in some way or other. Theae men also know that if they send that dollar out of the state that is the lust they will ever hear of it. This Call ferula insurance trust cau assure It self that the webfoot state knows its interest too well to be .duped by glib talk of its agents. Our motto Is, Oregon for Oregoluiw first, last, and all the time. Salem Iudepend ent. . 20,000 STOCK Must bo olosod out In tho noxt Sixty Days I DlttOl J, r.

AN INSURANCE 1 BUST. If it Is true that the democratic party Is not capable of successfully carrying on this republican form of government, and we most wait for three years before we can make a change, what Is to become of this republic in the meantime! How much longer are these hard times to continue and the people quietly submit to such apparent mis-man-foment of our national affairsl The insurance companies of Cal ifornia have filmed a powerful trust in the hopes of killing those competitors who will not "stand in" there by leaving the field to themselves. Like all other organizations of the kind they do not scruple us to methods. Their intention is to wipe out all that stands in the way of the combine and in order to do this agents are put into the field whose business is to hamper compe titors in every way possible. These agents have their instructions from headquarters and are hired accord ing tb the ability they display in distorting and misrepresenting facts they are an oily tongued crew and it is well for the farmers of this com munity to look out for them- The California combine is anxious to procure a clear field in Oregon, and it hopes by the methods it is adopt ing to either force the. State Insur ance company to the wall or eke into the combine. They will never he able to do either, however. The State Insurance company is an Or eeon institution and is capable of taking care of its own Interests as well as those ol its patrons.
