same for au advertisement from
baleui mervnaut, eousequetitiy w

siuue other papers do it clieuoer. Out
feeliug iu the matter was that local
merchants were entitled to all the

taken. The local mere ha uls of Inde

paper has managed to live otf the local
patronage.
We wish some of the advertisers in
the West Bide would expres them
selves on this subccL It is oue ol
importance. ' It cannot be decided
from the standpoint of a proprietor
alone. What do you think about it?
If it makes no difference bow a man
makes money just so that he makes it
then there would be but little honesty
in mis worm, it uoes make some
difference and while a man may pros
per for a while by diiibouest methods
he will finally come to grief. Tbe
alow steady plodder lu uiouey getting
is the one whe comes out ahead iu the
long run. A man must give value
received for whatever he gets aud on
that account iu these days of low
wages tbe margins are very close.
There Is a faacluatlon in making
money rapidly which few can realm
and many an honest man becomes lu
such cases really dialioneat without
knowing it.
Times have Improved greatly over
the whole United Htates during the
past six months, yet they still luck
much of being where they should be,
The expense of our government are
far in excess of Its income and as
conseqnence our finances are In a bad
condition. An Increase lu our public
debt of $300,000,000 during the Cleve
land administration seem like pretty
large figures. In order to pay that
deficiency alone will require nearly
one year's Income of our government
The republican party has no easy
problem to solve in getting our country
back In the right path.
Whether there be any truth or not
in the rumor (for it seems to be nothing
more) that the Southern Pacific is
going to operate an express train over
the motor line from Independence to
Monmouth thence to Portland, yet
if there Is any advantage to be gained
by our city In having a daily morning
and evening train our citizens should
make some move toward securing It.
It is in such matters as this that a
board of trade is required so that con
certed, well advised action may be
taken. The advantages to us of river
transportation should not be overlooked
however.
A vigorous protest should be entered
by the American people against the
appointment of consuls to foreign
countries who are lacking In the
qualities necessary to make them
of value to the commercial
interests of this country. The
salarlis and fees paid range from
$3,000 to $00,000 a year, and tbe very
best material can be obtained. The
national boards of trade should take
up this matter and exercise some sort
of supervision over our consuls. The
complaint against our present consuls
is wide-spread.
Senator Brlce may need the money
he has contributed to the Ohio pro
hibitionists for use in this campaign.
But whether , he does or not it Is
absolutely thrown away.
Wheu the republican party gvtsbaek
Into power it must first regulate our
resources so that we may have wort
Income than outgo. Next our finance
will receive attention. Then will come
the Nicaragua canal and Hawaii.
Woiuans suffrage is going to out some
figure lu the coming years. Improve
inputs lu our postal system la needed.
Then our consular appointments
should be regulated so that better turn
may fill the positions. That will com
in 1SUT. A lieu ownership of our lauds
should be regulated. The above are
only few of the public durations
waiting solution by
party. -

These yards are located just across the
river from Independence, and are the
lurgest in Unit section. The magnitude
of harvesting u large crop of h(.ps can
inly be realized by seeing. Over 5(X)
pickers are engaged in the.e yards, and
eight largo dry houses are kept busy.
Verily, It Is a cause of wonderment to
the looker-on bow there can he any
money in the business to the grower,
