The trust is socialistic It is private socialism. It is unregulated socialism run for .the few at (lie expense of the many. The task that the trust has forced upon the people is to regulate this socialism. Giordano Bntmo, the name of the daring Italian thinker who was cooked alive in the Campodi Florl, Rome, on February 17, 1GO0, on the spot where his statue stands, has become the war cry of the Italian liberals. This is the forcible way the Orego nkn sizes up the present U. S.congress: "When has there been en weak a lot of senators and representatives in congress? 2s ot since the days when numbers got on their knees bafore the Slave Power, its these now get on their knees before 4he Protected Grafters." Tub Umatilla republican county ticket and convention were ruled by a former democrat in much the same manner as Drownell rules Clackamas, The repub lican rank'and file made no more-objection than they did here, seeming to pre fer to follow any black sheep that takes ip n itself a desire to h ad . Vkrv recently an English company purchased 2,000,000 tons of coal in Ala ia'iia, paying therefor 50 cents per ton At the mouth of the pit, and the cost per ton for carrying the same to tidewater will be less than $1. Talk about the products of cheap foreign labor swamp ing this country! How long will it be lioforo the countries of Europe will have to nut on a protective tariff to save them tfrom being swamped with the products of Am "rican cheap labor? Tim report of the New York buroau of flabor statistics shows that during the Vast three years a period of "prospei fity" over 20 per cent of the working poople In that state have been without employment. If 'we place the popula tion of the state at about 7,000,000, the number of men continually out of work for three years is 303,000. Rather liieor prosperity, isn't it? This fact shows how the workingman suffers iu the north Atlantic states. An address has been issue 1 Blgned by the representatives of 84 English labor unions denouncing the war against the Transvaal on the ground that it is being waged for the nolo purpose of enabling a Sew millionaires, Rhodes, Earl Grey et l to exploit the gold and diamond ninea of South Africa with cheap "nig ger" labor that of the Kaffirs, by Im pounding them la herds like convicts. Among the signers of the address are snambors of parliament and other tnen of prominence. At Johannesburg the Boer laws were su :h that the Kaf fir could not be worked to death at star vation wage, This was a thorn in the uside of the Brtish exploiter. Thomas U. Tomgub was renominated for a third term by the republican con igneeiional convention at McMinnville on Tuesday on the first ballot, receiving 92 votes. Gatch received 28, Brownell 17, Hewitt 14, Carter 11, scattering 1. J, B. David, ol Yamhill, and George A. Steel, of Cluck a mas, were elected delegates to the Philadelphia convention. George G. Brownell was made committeeman for Clackamas. This nomination is a practical Indorsement of the administra tion and Tongue's vote for the Puerto IP.lco bill and a slap at the Oregonlan ;and its free trade ideas. In the conven tion were 17 federal office holders ai delegates. No wonder Tongue got the nomination. Without these 17 he would mot have had a majority. Brownell did Tory welli considering the fact that he wat ft new candidate, and it shows thai where he is known be rules, despite the f pposition of hit political enemies. Even his enemies here wished bis nomination, so he would get out of the way arrd leave Clackamas to them. A prominent anti-Brownell republican of this county bt 2 to 1 lhat Brownell would not get four votes besides his own county dele gation, and won. Gatch and Brownell a Ivocated free trade in Puerto Rico. Our German fellow citizens who have been so loyal to the republican party while Its advocates denounced the demo crats for favoring English free trade, will njw have time for a little sober re flection. The republicans having de ceived them with thir protective falla cies until they have secured the English financial system, they are now moving cautiously towatd the goal of free trade, while at the same time endeavoring to teach our patriotic German ,.nd Irish American voters the many advantages which would accrue through an alliance with Great Britain, t j the end that the civilizing influences of the British em pire may extend over the republics of South Africa and justice be established among all classes of their citizens. These Kruger-Steyn olegarchies have been a source of great annoyance to that prq found English statesman, Cecil Rhodes, for many years, and that characteristic cabli gram from Lord Robert3 that (by the aid of Almighty God and superb British soldiery) a great victory had been gained for civilization In the dark continent, should Bend a thrill of joy through the heart of every German on this side of the Atlantic. The republi can party is par excellence the party of freedom, and the only reason that the present administration favors Great Britain is the fact that those Dutch burgers have not the faculty to under stand the elementary principles of free dom, though they are fighting for it to the death.

Tne Scientific American says: "Mod ern machinery has po greatly enlarged the productive power of the workman that it becomes possible to pay him wages far in advance of those earned by his hand-labor predecessor, and the same labor-saving devices, while raising liis wage, have increased its purchasing power by lowering the cost of food and clothing and many of the luxuries of lifo. Hence, the automatic m idline is not, as the agitator will even yet suggest, the enemy of labor, but is in every re spect its best fiieud." In saying that the machine la labor's best friend, the paper bogs the question. The "agita tor" does not claim that the machine is his enemy, but his com plaint is that the capitalist, who obtained his capital by floecing labor, abwrba the proiit ob tained through the machine operated by the agiUtor. If the capitalist's profits were moderate, the agitator would not exiHt, for In that case he. would receive that share of the profits which is due him. This Is the bone of contention between capital and labor, and accounts for tho unrest pervading the toiling millions. WORK TO DO. The degree ot success of the citizens' ticket will depend on the efforts of the citizens who have made it. If each democrat or populist considers himself to be a committee of one, in duty bound to do what he can, honestly, to win votes, it is a dead certainly that the ticket will come nearer being victorious than if each remains in his own shell, doing little beyond casting his particu lar vote. There are scores of republican voters in the county, upright and well meaniug who are not familiar with the merits or demerits ot the two opposing ticketr. Many have been so blinded by the dust that political trickster, Brownell, has cast into their eyes, that they cannot recover until after the elections this year, when, seeing his deceit, they will curse him. But letting the blind lead the blind.there la a host of wide-a-wake repub licans who do not worship at the shrine ot the tiu god from Kansas. These men care more tor principle than pelt. They will listen to reason and argument, and it we can show them convincingly the corruptive principles of the republican party on the one band, and the forceful efforts ot the reform party on the other, they will vote against the republican party in June and November. Campaign work must be done. We must offs et, as much as we can, the covert machina- tions of Brownell and his tools, and tie bedeviling influence of the republican sack. It should not le forgotlen for an instant that no trick is too contempti ble for the managers of the republican county cam paigrf. Let us not alone be upright but on our guard. COMMERCIA LISM. In America," the land of promise heretofore the inspiration of every heait longing for liberty and opportunity capitalism and commercialism are tri umphant. M ith unbounded natural re sources, with a prodiglcus woalth of food, fuel and of all that humanity needs, nevertheless Ihcusands of he workers perish annually from sheer want, sur rounded with the wealth which they helpi-d to bring forth. Tens of thous ands awake every morning hungry and penniless, while tens of thousands be sides shiver in the cold for the want of clothing or fuel, and the vast majority of those martyrs are not dissolute or dis sipated either. America now has a surplus of labor, and wilh the white man, the black man, the yellow man and the machine pitted against each olher, the condition of the workers is deplorable. The capitalists and mammonists thrive and pile mil lions on top of millions.' Their hirelings, the press, the pulpit and the politicians, are ever ready to defend them, and woe be unto the man who dares to question the righteousness of the mammonists, As an example, Mr. Rockefuller recently donated a considerable sum of money to the church in a town in the oil region of Pennsylvania, and the pastor of the church remarked that although the money might have come to the donor by dishonesty, still, the church being the medium through which the Lord works to uplift humanity, he could Bee no ob jection to receiving the money. Mr. Rockefeller heard of this, and straight way had the pastor dismissed. No where in the world is capital so arrogant or the workers so hopelessly helpless as in the United States. Com mercialism has reigned undisputed for a little less than half a century, and we see on every hand the fruits it has brought forth. Every, unemployid man, every famished woman or child and every crippled worker that you meet is the direct fruit of this abominable barter and trade supremacy. On the face of each of its millions of victims seem written these words: "Capitalism and commercialism made me thus and coined money." Where will it all end? San Francisco CoaBt Seamen's Jour nal. To the Man That Was Pinched. Editor Courier-Herald : I see a letter in your last issue signed by George L Story, a two-by-four law yer of Oregon City, accusing me of be ing a treacherous cuss, etc. Now, if you will allow me space, I would like to tell my friends the facts in the case. I met Mr. Story a day or two before the republican county convention and he asked me if I could place his name before the convention for the office of county clerk. I answered "Yes, I can, but had rather not. It would be better for you, any way, to get some one who could and would make a neat little speech and give you a good sen .off." He said "I don't know who to get." My answer was, "Oh, you can find plenty to do that." I think this is almost the exact language that was used. He never opened his chops to me about it on the day of the convention, and I supposed, as any sane man would, that he had found another man. In conclusion, let me say that since reading his letter I am very glad he did not get the nomination, for I think both parties prefer to have a man of common sense for that office. J. N. Harrington.
