On the showing made by The Reporter
last week of froe locks at Oregon City,
J. O. Cooper of this place has figured
that it means tons of freight for each
inhabitant, and has sent the board of
engineers the following showing:
The territory interested in the locks at
Oregon City are the counties of Benton,
Lane, Linn, Marion, Polk aud parts of
Clackamas and Washington. The state
board of agriculture gave the population
n.roo vuiutiius in iBiio as ioiiows:
Benton, 7,500; Marion, 33,000; Lane,
22,000; Folk, 11,200; Linn, 19,000;
Yamhill, 16,000 total, 108,700.
Add to this 10,000 in Clackamas and
6,000 in Washington give a total of
123,700. This territory is engaged in the
same class of pursuits and industries as
Yamhill, which, at the ratio of 3g' tons
to the inhabitant, will give 432,950 tons
as the product affected by the locks at
Oregon City, which at 50 cents a ton,
aggregates .16,475, as the annual drain
from the pockets of the producers and

The Germans, Ancient, Modern.
In a very able and exhaustive address
delivered in Detroit, Mich, some weeks
since by the Hon. John J. Lenta, con
gressman from Ohio, on "The Germans,
Ancient And Modern,", the speaker

Anglo-American alliance at this or at
any time would not be beneficial to the
American people. It is the aim and in

upon the United States an alliance of.

lation, and her commercial interests de
mand that new ports and new countriea
be opened for that purpose. The desira
of the Germans is to better their condi
tion as a people, the aim of the English
is to subject the balance of the world's
commerce and population to the English
gold standard. The Germans in the
United States are here, as they have
been from their earliest history, a liberty-loving,
sober, industrious people,
whose chief aim is to make and keep a
home. Their societies are known and
respected wherever organized, their love
of their adopted or native country un
surpassed by any of the races, and
whenever this country has made a call
for men or money the Germans have re
sponded with a patriotic unselfishness
well worthy of imitation. They helped
the struggling colonies in 1776, and in
1812, and the familiar phrase "You
fights mit Siegel, you drinks mit me" is
known and remembered by all the sur
viving G. A. R. veterans.
Mr. Lentz devotes much of his speech
to quotations from ancient and modern
historians regarding the Germanic race.
But he has omitted one great authority,
the Roman historian, Tacitus, who lived
within one hundred years after the an
nihilation of the Roman legions under
Varus by Herman in the forests of an
cient Germany, and well understood the
power of a free people when directed by
a great genius. The Greeks did not
know personal or individual liberty, the
Romans were ignorant of it, all the an
cient civilized nations were subjected to
absolute and despotic arbitrary power
centered in the hands of a few.
In the coming struggle against the
English gold standard in this country
we need the help of every citizen anx
ious to throw off the English yoke which
is as disastrous to the liberty of Ameri
cans now as were the "red coats" of
Qeorge III in 1776. To throw off once
lor all, to establish in its place an
American system, will be the work of the
future; and in this great fight between
freedom and slavery, liberty and servi
tude, monopoly and unrestricted com
merce, the Germans of the United
States, native or foreign born, will be
found, as were their forefathers at the
beginning of the Christian era, on the
sido of liberty, labor, homo and freedom.
The sentiment that inspired them with
courage and intrepidity to attack, defeat
and annihilate the flower of the army of
Augustus Imperator representing the
power and majesty of the Roman Em
pire will animate them in the coming
political struggle to apply the same de
feat to their enemy, our enemy, hu
manity's enemy, , the English gold
standard. g
Prosperity? Veil Hardly.
The following from the Baltimore
American copied into the Oregonian is
of vital interest to the Oregon farmer;
PROSPERITY BVKRYWIIKRK.
Baltimore American.
In an interview in Washington Repre
sentative Landis, of Indiana, said :
"Our people are too well satisfied with
the prosperity under this administration
to desire a change. It would do your
heart good to drive along the country
roads in Indiana. Thero are new roofs
on the houses, new paint on the barns,
new rails for the fence!, new porches
and new wind pumps. Everybody is
happy and prosperous. Farmers are pay.
ing oil their mortgages and lending mon
ey. They have seen that the price of
wheat is not dependent upon the price
of silver, and they have abandoned the
belief that free coinage is necessary for
good times."
What is true of Indiana is true of the
whole nation. The credit for th
con ution belongs solely to the republic
ans, and the people of the country will
not soon forget that fact.
This man Landis, if I am not mista
ken, is the congressional successor of
Johnson who so unmercifully berated
McKinley and the administration on the
war in the Philippines. His Bpeech was
probably the best and truest, because
founded on fact, delivered in the last
session. He told so many unpalatable
truths about the criminal blunders of
Mack and his cabinet, that the whole
gold bug press jumped on him and tried
to discredit his many assertions about
the people in power. However as time
has proven everything he said regarding
the management of the

"Farmers," we quote again, "are pay
ing on their mortgages, and lending
money." ltiey are paying them off as
the Clackamas county farmers are nav
ing theirs, one recent month there were
thirty cancellations tf mortgages and
thirty-two put on file.: As Cleveland
started the country on the gold standard
we were told that with McKinley's ad
vent the farmers would pay off all their
indebtedness,, and , as our cheerful
friend, Landis, says "are lending mon
ey," At this rate the farmers will soon
take the place of the bankers and bra
kers. With a few more crops like this
year's, and prices to match, he will dic
tate to Wall street the prices of Granger,
Vanderbilt, Industrial and other stocks.
He will notify Lombard street and Hie
Bank of England that the financial cen
ler ana nuD oi tne commercial world
has taken the course of Empire and the
of Greeley "to go west," and now is to
be found in some populistic town of
Kansas. As the farmer is daily becom
ing possessed of more and more cash
owing to the high price of wheat, cotton
wool, etc., he undoubtedly will soon be
in a position to absorb the world's
wealth. The farmer, all, these years
since Mack's inauguration, has been
getting enormously rich and not know
ing it. He has deliberately declined
and shunned champagne, terrapin and
such like necessities, and blowed him
self on buttermilk and potatoes. He
has, for the benefit of his health and di
gestion, started the day at 5 a. m. and
kept industriously at it till dark. He
reads it this way : "Late to bed and
early to rise makes men healthy,
wealthy and wise." He must stop now
and consider what he is going to do with
his vast accumulations when he gets
them. Will he use this wealth to de
press the price of stocks of all kinds?
Will he hire a large army of Piukerton
mercenaries to keep up order and down
socialists? Will he endow agricultoor
altooral colleges and universities for the
spread of knowledge concerning parasitic
germs? Will he have a whole car for
himself and family attended by obsequi
ous attendants? Will he go to Europe
and on his arrival at Southampton have
his interview all written ready to be ca
bled by the Gould Associated Press to
the Oregonian and papers of that stripe?
Will he, 0 1 will he marry his daughters
to foreign noblemen and throw in a few
million dollars for good measure? Will
the American farmer do all these ab
surdities, after of course all the mort
gages are paid and he has gobbled up
the realty and personal goods of his
country? Well scarcely. In the first
place he is not paying many mortgages ;
some are being cancelled," but tho load
is not lifted. Some who were paying
ten and fifteen per cent interest on their
debts have funded them into seven and
nine per cen. but they find it as difli
cult to pay seven and nine as they used
to ten and fifteen. Their choice lies be
tween struggling along under a load that
is continually adding to its weighi, or
throwing off the entire load by surren
dering the home and farm to the credit
or. The latter is the way thousands are
solving the question and millions more
will under the gold standard.
Now, Mr. Editor, let us see what
prices the farmer is getting for his pro
ducts that enable him to discharge so
rapidly his enormous debts. Wheat per
bushel, Portland 57 cents, Chicatto 69
cents; and as silver bullion is CO cents
per ounce I think in spite of Landis that
wheat and silver are very close together.
Wool, 10 to 15 cents, very close to CO
cent silver; and nothing like wlun
times were flush. Cotton in New Or
leans and Atlanta, Scents; 20 pounds
to buy a dollar. The planters or farmers
who are paying off mortgages, according
to the evidence adduced before the In
dustrial Commission in Washington,
would have been $00,000,000 better off if
they had not planted a seed of cotton
last year, and of course could have liq
uidated that much more in mortgages.
Poor deluded southern farmer I He
should pattern after his thrifty Indiana
brother and raise wheat. Oats per
bushel, in Chicago, 19 cents; perhaps
it's not best to inquire what they bring
in Iowa, Kansas, Nebraska and the
Dakotas; not enough to make the west
ern farmer point with pride, etc. No,
when we are asked to be specific on the
subject of prosperous farmers, we in Or
egon are compelled to fall back on our
agricultooral statesman from the Waldo
hills, who spent his whole life in pursuit
of happiness and dollars on a farm, who
is still first class authority on how to get
rich on the farm, but who never made a
dollar till he began serving his state in
the capacity of statesman, and who is
now happy in the drawing of a five
thousand dollar per annum salary,
three thousand five hundred dollars of it
unconstitutional.

pointed out, I believe it would do more
for reform than tons of theory. With
this view 1 send you an article clipped
from the New York CommerciaUuiy20.
Let the reader read slowly, noting the
significant facts as he reads, the un
questionable official statement of Council-General
Pollard. The figures in par
enthesis are the prices reduced to U. 8.
gold coin. Mexico admits t free coin
age both gold and silver. Here is the
article.
WASHiNGioNjJuly 20. John K. Pollard,
United States Consul-General at Mont
erey, Mexico, sends the following re
report :
"Mexican farming is widely different
from that in the United States. Irriga
tion is necessary in the greater portion
of this country, and on account of the
scarcity of water a large extent of land
cannot be utilized. When the owner of
land has sufficient water for the purpose
indicated he holds on to his property,
and rarely can be induced to sell, as it is
of permanent value to him. For the
last 300 years large tracts of land have
been owned by individuals, or families
i i i
who nave spent neavy sums or money
or canals and dams in order to make
them productive.
"On account of this and the attending
expenses of irrigation there are fewer
small farmers in Mexico than there are
in the United States. Until recently
larming in Mexico has been on the
irimitive order, but if he can get the
water his land becomes fertile and yields
generously. During the last two de
cades decided improvements have been
accomplished through the introduction
of modern implements into farmi nc in
Mexico. The increase in production
corresponds to the improvements in
farming apparatus. The great railroads
of the country have been important fa
tors in this advance, enabling farmers
ith a surplus of production to ship to
those less fortunate.
The cost of labor is from 25 to 50 cents
(12 to 24 cents in United States curren-
y) per day, depending on the locality.
I here are two crops of corn a season
upon which the farmer averages $50
($24.00) per acre gross. Sugar cane
turned into piloncillo, or brown sugar
averages irom ijidu to $200 ($72.15 to
$96.20) per acre gross; beans, fron $00
to $80 per acre ; rice, from $75
per acre, all other products
correspondingly nign prices,
will be seen that the profits of
mer must be large. Hay is not made in
any great quantity, out corn loader 18
sold to advantage. Baled oat and wheat
straw sells at from $50 to $00 per ton
Adjacent to cities, a lucrative trade is
carried on in green barley and corn
which is cut before maturity and de
livered in the cities to owners of horses
and cows.
"Uattle raising is and always hai
been, a profitable business in Mexico,
consequent upon cheap labor, low taxes,
and the large tracts of cheap land which
are suitahld for grazing only. Until re
cently no attempt has been made to im
prove the stock, but certain! large cat
tlemen have now undertaken to do this
and steady improvement is certain
henceforth. The demand created during
the late war with Spain and the high
prices which obtained in the United
States increased the price of cattle to
such an extent that the northern por
tion of the country has become depopu
lated ot its stock, which, it it said, will
take several years to replenish. This
means a continuance of high prices in
cattle in that quarter.
"Dairy farming in the neighborhood
of large cities is lucrative,, milk selling
at 50 cents per gallon, and butter at 75
cents to $1 per pound. Those engaged
in this business make money rapidly.
"Fruit and vegetable farming is be
ginning to attract attention. Formerly
this amounted to simply enough for the
home market. Now an effort will be
made to supply the United States with
early fruits and vegetables. The move
ment Is in its incipiency, but it is des
tined to grow into largo proportions.
Oranges, lemons, tomatoes, beans, etc.,
are produced in Mexico from four to
eight weeks earlier than in the United
States, hence, this will be a profitable
business in the near future.
"Wheat is cultivated in the high table
lands of Central Mexico and is iairly
profitable. It is not the equal of that
grown In the United States, either in
quantity per acre or quality. Para and
Bermuda grass give pasturage in many
sections of the country. They are said
to be equal to any in the world.
"Parts of the country are adapted to
the growth of tropical products, vis,
coffee, vanilla, rubber, cocoanut, cocoa,
etc, the quality of all being first class.
It is said the best vanilla in the world
comes from the State of Vera Cruz, and

and the sugar production of Southern
Tamaulipas or Northern Vera Cruz is
said to be surpassed by that of U3 coun
try, save Hawaii, in quantity, and it is
more profitable to the producers, for the
reason that seven to ten crops are the
result of one planting, whereas the Ha
waiian planters get only two."
I note a few of the significant state
ments:. Farm laborers receive from 25 to 50
cents per day, just about what farm la
borers received in the .Western states
from 1850 to I860. It is altogether prob
able that with their antiquated imple
ments, want of skill and active energy,
mat eacn laborer upon au average ac
complished much less than our fatm
laborers did during that decade. And
as with our improved machinery, farm
laborers now accomplish from two to
four times as much as then, and three
to five times as much as Mexican labor
ers, the latter are as well or better
paid than our farm hands .
Machinery being introduced, and as
they acquire skill and energy, wages
will advance.
The farmer averages $50 per acre for
his corn $24.05 in our money. This, I
presume, is for the two crops a vear. or
$25 in silver, or $12.02 in gold per
acre. Now let us comnare t.hnau
with what American farmers receivo-
The average value of an acre of our
corn was, 1806,$17.25; 1872, $14.87. For
thenve years 1894-98, inclusive, $8.80
$0.C4, $6.66, $3.26 and$7.10 respJctfally
The average for the five years being
about $6.98. This is only a fraction over
a third the farmer received for an acre
of his crop in 1800; less than half he re
ceived in 1872, a little more than nn.
fourth the Mexican farmer receives in
silver dollars, and only a fraction more
than half he receives in gold.
Sugar brings the Mexican from $150 to
$200 in silver per acre, or $82.15 to $90,
in gold; beans $00 to $80 silver.etc. All
other products realize correspondingly
high prices. If the farmers of the
United States could realize such prices
how very soon they would bo in the con
dition Secretary McCulloch said they
were in in 1806-"practicallv out nf
debt."
The republican party when it nomi
nated Lincoln, in 1800, declared for that
policy which secures to agriculture re
munerative prices. How basely that
party has betrayed the farmers, let .
study of these and other facts answer.

Belief That Great Britain Win
Risk War for the Alaska
Boundary.
Chicago, Aug. 6. A special to the
Record from Victoria, B. C, says:
"The imperial government and the
dominion authorities have decided to in
crease both the regular military and
militia forces on this station, the Pacific
coast depot of the British army and
navy. Ooming at this time, when the
relations between Canada and the
United States are acknowledged by Pre
mier Laurier to be rather strained over
the Alaska boundary question, it looks
as if Great Britain and Canada were de
termined to assert their claim to the
portion of Alaska demanded by Canada
by force of arms if necessary.
"Be this as it may, the garrison is to
be at once greatly increased. The bar
racks on Macauley point, where the big
forts are situated, which, with their
long-reaching disappearing guns, com
mand the entrance to the straits of San
Juan de Fuca, will aoon be the home of
more than treble the number of engi
neers, marine artillery, sappers and
other united service men than are now
quartered there. Some of the additional
garrison has already left England and,
others will come out in big squads with
in the next few months via Halifax and
the Canadian Pacific railway. The first
squad of troops to come will number 320
officers and men, and the present ac
commodation being too small to hold
them, much larger barracks will be at
once erected.
The cost of the new military post, half
of which is to be borne by the dominion
government and half by the British au
thorities, is 25,000, or about $125,000.
It is also said the naval forces will be
increased by the addition of a depot
ship, the Temerarie, which will be sent
out from Chatham in September. The
warship with the new admiral is due
from England two weeks hence."
Chicago, Aug. 6. Sereno E: Payne,
of New York, chairman of the ways and
means committee of the house of repre
sentatives and a member of the joint
committee on the Alaska boundary, ar
rived in Chicago today on his way home
from a tour of two months in Alaska and
the Pacific coast. Mr. Payne said :
"Being a member of the commission,
my lips are sealed as to the probable re
port and the course the boundary matter
Will take. This Would he a matter for
an arbitration commission, if one were,
appointed. I do not tnink Sir vVilfrid
Laurier had any idea war would result
from the boundary question when he
made the recent speech in Ottawa. I
do not consider such a thing worthy of
serious consideration.'
