PATRONIZE HOME I INDUSTRY.
OREGON CITY, FEB. 3, 1899.
Trusts are incteasing at a rate, if kept
up. will in three or (our )ears olace all
of the nation's industries in the bands
of about 300 men.
A republican crmtemoorary calls at
tention to the senatorial brilry sennda's
in the legislatures ol California and
North Dakota. Well, what of it? Both
of these bodies are strongly republican
and as lout; us that is the case, put so
long will scandals be in vogne.
: Tub Coumer-Urkai.d is in favor of
township organixaii' n Erowned's bill
tor the election ol roail supervisors is
good, but it does not go far enough. Let
each district elect its own roI super
visor and assessor and spend its own
iiioney as it sees fit.
Tiik republican bosses have before the
legislature a bill redisricting the state,
which should be promptly killed. It
increases Multnomah county's number
of senators and representatives at the
expense of the balance of tho state. In
event of this bill becoming a law the
Clackamas county joint senator will al
ways bo from Multnomah county, be
cause they can outvote us every time.
The m.ichanic is taxed on his tools of
trade, the farmer is taxed on his pigs
and pumpkins, the poor sewing woman
is taxed on her sewing machine, and
the common unskilled labo'er is tax
re bbed on his scanty household belong
ingsbut tho biliioniiire landowners
are not taxed a cent on their bonds -and
that's a sample' of what is called
"equality before the law1' in this gold
plated ajre when tnnt oidy thrives and
Jio;-est industry is withered.
. T)nKS the election o! tlie United States
sonator now going on in t everal states
look much as If the people had a voice in
the matter? Mont sen Mtors are chosen
on account of the size of their "bar'l"
not their brain; or because thev are
pledged not to interfere with the ar
rangi itienU of the great combinations of
capital, commonly called trusts and
the gold trust is the Sure that breeds all
the other trusts. Is it not about time to
call a sudden ha't on this great octopus?
Our Eastern Oregon friends are hav
ing an object lesson just at present on
the tariff question. The tariff on wool
is 12 cents per pound, and yet the hijjh
st prices now offered are 9 and 11 cents.
The campaign howl of the republican
apellbiru'er that a high tariff on wool
makes high prices for wool is not borne
out by the logic of events. At the same
time we should not forget that Tom
Tongue, our distinguished congressman
from the first district, had a similar ex
perience with his prune tariff. Like the
old fashioned bell-muzzle shotgun, it
has a habit of kicking backwards. By
the way, the reform forces predicted
that triiHtrf would flourit-h as never be
fore if McKinley was elected. It's
something to know that we were light,
after all. There is nn ominous silence
on the part of the great republican
lailies on the tariff question. Why?
Is It because the Oregoniau bus the free
trade jinijanis again?
It is as utterly impossih'o for a gold-u-d
newspaper to tell the trut h regard
ing silver, us it is fir the modern wind
jabber of a "fashionable church'' to
preach a christian sermon and hold
his job. As alitile sample of how the
johnnybull press will lie, when referring
to silver. The Saint Joseph, Missouri,
News, of recent date is a case in point.
In an editorial it quote the wneos ol
skilled and unskilled labours in India,
which ranges from ifl.HO to U.'M a
month, nnd then winds tip its silly
harangue with this sentence: "What
do the workingnien of America think of
thti condition of labor in that silver
country? And what reason is therein
the cry of the damauogno that the
laboring men of America are downtrod-1
den and have no chance to ii-e above
abject poverty?" Now, the facts are,
as every school boy in this country well
knows, that Indit is not "a silver
country," but i only a colony of
l'.ngland, that (Jneeti Victoria is the
impress of India, and that Johon Huh
vhildxruth is the tinancial dictator ot
India the same as ho is of America,
-which easily accounts for the low wages
paid to skilled ami unskilled workmen.
It ca,tu"t be that the News is ignorant
of the-t' facts, and it can only be excused
by its presuming its readers to be
'Ignorant and they certainly must be If
they swallow uch driveling rot but it
is the best the tory press can produce in
favor the single gold standard.
ENDORSED SILVER.
The Monticello Club, of Chicago, is
one of the strongest democratic clubs
in this country. Last Saturday at the
regular weekly meeting at the club, the
following resolution was introduced and
passed by an overwhelming vote:
"vvnereas, tne claim Has Been ex'
tensively published through the sub
sidized gold press that this club is in
favor of abandoning the fight for the free
and unlimited coinage of gold and silver
at the ratio of 16 to 1, which report has
resulted from the expression of the
personal views of some one of the mem
hers, and is being used with the evil
purpose of injuring the cause of free
silver.
"Resolved, by the members of this
club now present, that we are cordially
and enthusiastically in favor of the
adoption by the national democratic
convention of 1900 of the whole demo
cratic platform of 1886, including the
free and unlimited coinage of gold and
silver at the historic ratio of 16 to 1,
independent of the action of any other
nation."
