PLATFORM.
Resolved, That we believe In returning to llio
policy of the fathers, to the end that the Declara

political inspiration and of our patriotism and to
the end that the constitution of the United States
hall remain the sheet anohor and safeguard of
our liberties. . ;
Resolved, That we denounce the imperialistic
tendencies of the republican party, and In the
broken promises of Hie present administration to
the people we reooguiie this parly as an .enemy
of good government.
Resolved, That ue denounce the McKinley ad
ministration for its action In passing the Puerto
Itlcan tarltl'btll and view with alarm and disfa
vor this attempted subversion of our national
constitution,
Resolved, That we favor the lssuanoe of all

of the Mouth African republics in their struggle
for liberty and national exlsti nce.
Resolved, That we are in favor of tile Initiative
and refateiiduin, and pledge our legislators to
work and vote for tho pending amendment to
the end that it be submitted to a vote of the peo
ple We demand honest and emolont administration
of ouuniy aliuli B on the part of our county oltl
rials, anil that tho oounly printing be let to the
lowest bidder.
Wo are unalterably opposed to boss rule lu
oounty, slate and national atldrs.
We welcome to our aid all good citizens In this
our effort to put patriotism above party and to
make clvlo virtues the key note to party sucocss.
Resolved, That the Oregon legislative assembly
lie asked to pass a law making it a penalty for
manufacturers to work their hands more that
ix days per week or more than 12 hours on one
alillt.
Bonsihm. in politics ia dangerous and
corruptive. The voters will therefore
promote their own interests if they de
feat the Brownell ticket.
An International effort will ba made
by the farmers to control the world's
wheat markets by limiting production
and to tlx the minimum price at II per
bushel. A farmers' trust la what we are
patiently hoping for.
Titu American clipper ship Sea Witch,
laden with 1700 torn of flour and forage
for the Transvaal, ran the British block
ade at Dulagoa Bay. Ooptain Howes
bad smoke with Uncle Kruger at Pre
toria while Ms cargo was being un
loaded. Kbupp, the great manufacturer of the
implements for killing men, employs
42,000 people. He has a monopoly, but
i, la mnnonolv is not feucedoff by a tariff
wall. II competes with the world, and
is sure of market 10 long as tne pres
ent kind ol civilisation persists.
In oar last issue we mentioned the
fact that Bro. Porter was trying to down
.A. S. Dresser, who was Indorsed by the
Brownell county convention for Joint
representative, but he failed. The arti
cle appeared to read as though Mr.
Scott had promised Porter a two-yean
contract for the county printing, when
took it for Bran t-
. .. ... v....o ha was beinir supported
QCt I ) IwvewBv '- -
by the senator from Marion, that that
man could gei
Scott. This show the depths to which
"Senator" Porter will stoop to gain a
"trick."
In Multnomah, no lets than in Clmk-
amaa, there is a feeling of rebellion
arrfong republicans against one-man
power. 1 Grafter Brownell here is dupli
cated by Grafter Doe and Grafter Roe
there. Party lines are loosening, and
the corruptiinists will likely get it in
tlie neck in June and November. .
The English frove'nment is pleased
because the Indian budget presents
what is called a "favorable showing."
That millions of the inhabitants of India
are dying of want is not considered in
tliis showing. For 200 years the Eng
lish vampire has civilized that unhappy
country with an eye on the favorable
budgft. ' ..
Tub Enterprise, the organ that hired
a professional mudslinger during last
campaign, has commenced in the same
line this year. ; The Courier-Herald is
and always was opposed to mudslinging,
but if the worthy senato from Marion
county wishes it thus, we might accom
modate him. He devotes over a column
to mud and this paper in his last issue.
The Sviet, the organ of the war' party
in St. Petersburg, says that "the expul
sion of the English who are attempting
to root themselves in Beloochistan and
Southern Persia is imperative". "For
ward" is Ihe policy advocated by the
Russian press and persistent y followed
by the Russian government. There
maybe truth, therefore, in the report
that Russia contemplates seizing Herat
and advancing from thence to Cabul,
from which point the march to the
plains of the Indus would be compara
tively easy of accomplishment.'
Jamks J. Hill and nine other railroad
magnate, known as the "Big Ten," are
planning to consolidate the principal
trunk lines of the country. If this their
plot against the common weal succeeds,
they will discharge 60,000 men and
raise the freight, rates. The shrewd
railway lord knows the value of co-operation;
he has faith that with million
aire socialism the country is safe, per
fectly safe. . But from the tyranny of
labor unions, which would compel him
to treat the workingman j'istly, good
devil, deliver himj
Now that Hon. George C. Brownell
has done with chasing his congressional
bonmlet, he can devote his peculiar tal
ents to booming the republican ticket.
That these talents are not of a common
order is an acknowledged fact, for in
1898 even theOregonian wa6 constrained
toidmitthat "he is contemptible and
despicable beyond all comparison and
competition." The honorable gentle
man is hence peculiarly fitted to be the
representative of that gang of grafters,
with Hanna as boss, who have posses
sion of the national government.
A wealthy farmer of Marion county
who was a delegate to the populist state
convention at Portland Btated privately
that the social democracy could poll
1000 votes in his county. Since social
ists have been organizing lodges in this
county and Mu'tnoma hduring the win
ter, it is hard guessing how Btrong they
are in this part of the Willamette val
ley. The storm is gathering. vVe can
not assuage its stress by shutting our
eyes. The lotten republican party is
recruiting the socialist aimj with alarm
ing rapidity. The robber barrns do not
see the signs of the times, because their
god, the devil, In the words of Emerson,
"is an aes "
Since the republican state convention,
the Ryan and anti-Browaell republicans
have an excuse, if it is a small one, ti
support the one-man ticket put up by
the boss, J. U. Campbell, a lieutenant
in the Spanish-American war, was in
doraed In the une-man convention of this
county for district attorney and went to
the state convention expecting to get. the
nomination for the office, but on arriv
ing found that Judge Ryan had been
there before him, and he was promptly
turned down and a man from Astoria
nominated instead. He will have to
take a dose of the medicine he and Brow
null administered to the rank-and-file
republicans on March 31st.
At the shoe factories in Brockton;
Mass., a pair of men's fine shoes that
retails at $3.50 Is made and packed in a
box In 29 minutes. That la to say, for
every half hour of time employed in the
shoe factory, men, women and children
considered, a pair of such shoes Is pro
duced. By the old hand process, a
journeyman made three pain of these
shoes a week, and made a living at it.
Each of the 21,000 men, women and
children that work in the shoe factories
of Brockton can, therefore, If employed
300 10-hour days annually, produce 6000
pairs of $11.50 shoes. At the men get a
wage of $50 per month, It needs no re
flection to perceive that the employers
and middlemen's profits are enormous
and that we are paying too much for
shoe leather.
Tub Enterprise is still harping on the
county printing. This seems to stick in
Ita craw, for some reason. We still
maintain we did not agree In our con
tract with the county to publish sheriff
ales for $3 25 per inch, but we volun
tarily came down from $3 and were not
forced to do so.' .. We published delin
quent tax tales for $1.20 per inch and
furnished stationery for 75 per cent of
former prices, as per contract. Brother
Porter talks about "leaded ' notices.
iHow long since he or any one else has
dictated how tMs paper s'lall be printed
or run? He fails to state that he charges
$3 per inch for notices set in minion, a
size larger type than we use, and he has
about half the circulation He isn't so
slow himself. - A man that was given
outright .a newspaper and then makes
candidates put up before be will support
them shows the stuff he's made of. He's
a grafter from "way back."
Ok May 8, 1899, before Joe Chamber
lain had gotten into bad company and
sold his soul to the devil, he said in par
liament : ''In some quarters the idea is
put forward that the government ought
to have issued an ultimatum to Presi
dent Krugerj an ultimatum which
would certainly have been rejected and
which must have led to war Sir, I do
not propose to discuss such a contin
gency as that. A war in South Africa
would be one of the most serious wars
that could be possibly waged, It would
be in the nature of a civil war; it would
be a long war, a costly war, a bitter war.
To go to war with President Kruger in
order to force upon him reforms in the
internal affairs of the stale in which sec
retaries of state standing in this place
have repudiated all right of interference
on our part, that would be a course of
action as immiral as it would be un-
Tiie huge machine built to unload ore
and coal from large vessels on the great
lakes his been perfected and put in use.
With this machine as much work can
be accomplished by six men n one hour
as 1000 men can do in one day! Two
more machines just like it will be built
and put in use, whicUl undoubtedly
means the discharge of 80 out of every
100 men employed. If, as is not at all
unreasonable, these three machines are
able to do the work of 20,000 shovelers,
then 10,000 of these men will be com
pelled to join the vast army of the un
employed. What will these men and
those dependent on them do for a living?
Is there anything in our social or gov
ernmental economy that serves as a
compensation for so great a loss to so
many persons? No, there is none. . But
this great loss signifies more profits to
the. wealthy owner of the ships.
THE' LOAD OF TRUST WATER.
The trusts, or so-called industrials,
are capitalized at $3,000,030,030, one
half of which is water. A five per cent
earning on this four billions of water
means a totil or two hundred million
dollars per annum.
It is a heavier burden thrust upon the
consumer of this country than that im
posed upon the people of Germany in
supporting a standing army of nearly
half a million men. Germany's annual
budget for the army is about 600,000,000
marks or $159,000,003. It is an amount
equal to nearly the entire wheat crop
of the United States for 1899, at 60 cents
per buBhel. This burden falls oack upon
the shoulders of the"man with Ihe hoe."
The attempt to earn $200,000,000 an
nually upon something which never ex
isted, is virtually a tax levied upon the
consumers of trust articles. Capital, we
are told, is timid, yet capitalists fell
over each other iu subscribing for stock
Issued upon wind, backed by faith in
the gullibility of the people and the con
tinuance ol the trust party in power,
Capitalists are shy of inflation, yet 5 per
cent ol tins inflation loots up
more than all the silver minted In any
ten consecutive years of our history.
Does this stock stand for honost dol
lars? In attempting to p iy dividends
on this dishonest capitalization prices
have been forced up from teu to two
hundred per cent. This has been shown
to be true on a list of several hundred'
articles. Tinware and enameled ware
have been advanced from forty to sixty
percent. Crackers have been nearly
doubled In price. Nails and barbed wire
have within fourteen months been ad
vanced 180 per cent; where one year ago
it took three bushels of wheat to buy a
hundred pounds of wire or nails, now it
takes eight bushels. So we may go on
down the list.
THE RAILROAD QUESTION.
In his address to the anti-trust confer
ence at Chicago, President Lock wood
said :
"One of the gaeatest jurists that
ever lived has laid that a public high
way cannot be private property. Here
is a proposition that I desire to present
to you :
"That the reduced rate of Interest
which the people will lave on the rail
road debt by government ownership will
pay for the entire railway system of the
United States in less than 50 years. The
average rate of interest today on the rail
road bonded indebtedness in the Unite j
States is 5 per cent. The government
can place the entire railroad debt at
from 2. to 3 per cent, and the 2 per
cent annual iu teres t saved will pay for
the entire railway system of the United
Statet in lest than 50 years.
"Yes, we not only save in interest
enough in 50 yean to pay for the entire
railway system and own it ourselves, but
we take at once the corrupt and corrupt
ing influence of this railway capital away
and out of our political life. And we do
something more which is ten thousand
times more important than that; we re
establish the equil rights of the people
over the highways of our country. And
then these brigands who stand upon the
highways of commerce today and rob the
producers and consumers of hundreds of
millions annu illy then these brigands
will lose their occupation ; aye, and they
will be cliiiibingover one another trying
to get out of the country before they can
be indicted and sent to the penitentiary
as a punishment for their crimes ','
THE PORTO RWAN IS F AMY
The Chicago Times-Herald," a leading
republican journal that has remained a
steadfast friend of President McKinley,
thus expresses its opinion of the infam
ous Porto Rican tariff bill
Americans wonder and scoff at the
fatuity with which British commanders
permit themselves to be entrapped and
humiliated by Boer strategists in South
Africa, while under their own eves in
Washington the republican leaders are
ruihing open-eyed into as fatal a trap aa
ever yawned before a great party.
In vain are the warning cries of faith
ful friends. ' "
In vuii! are the appeals to.dutv.iustice
and good faith.
In vain ihe traditions "f tlie republic.
In vain are all invocations to save the
nation's pledged w ird from dishonor.
In vain art, rumblingd of popular
wrath, the threats of party disaster.
Rooted in dishonor by petty Doutical
considerations and sordid special inter
ests, the republican majority in the sen
ate jammed through the iniquitous Porto
Kican tariff bill.
Never in the history of military or po
litical warfare has there bean such an
Instance of benighted and foolhardy
leadership.
This is not a polilic.il question, but a
mora! one, and the American Deonle will
not accept the intrigues of Washington

perseding the teachings of the decalogue
and the gospels. . c. '
After the senate, the hiuse of repre

After the house, the president !

PEOPLE!
WHAT IS THE REMEDY t
Tho total wealth of the United States,
according to the estimates of the govern
ment's official statisticians, is sixty-two
billions of dollars. Upon this wealth is
bonded and mortgaged indebtedness of
over forty billions of dollars. The annu
al interest on this debt is not less than
three billions of dollars. This is an an
nual tax on every man, woman and
child in the whole country of $34 34, or
on every family of five persons of $171.50.
As a matter of fact, the producers, the
actual working people, pty it all, but
they do not yet understand the means
by which this monstrous injustice is ac'
complished.
We have eight billions of dollars bond
ed indebtedness held abroad, on which
we pay annually three hundred and
twenty million dollars interest.
There are more than nine million
mortgages on American homes and
lands. Thirty thousand people own
thirty-five billion dollars, or more than
oue-half the wealth of the nation. Fifty
million Americans own no homes, aud
have to pay either reut or interest,'
There are three million unemployed
men in this free America, or about one
fourth of the total voting population;
1,200,000 child laborers below the age of
18 working long hours in factories and
sweat shops ; 2,000,003 women toiling 12
to 16 hours a day for such beggarly
wages that they must either die of want
or live, by shame.
Twenty-seven individuals or corpora
tions own in the United States 22,532,
000 of land, while three millio.i Ameri
can citizens are out of employment.
We have 240,000 saloons.
Twenty-three thousand men and wo
men are killed and mangled on railroads
of this country annually for the want of
safeguards. There were 10,500 murders
in 1896, a gain of a thousand per cent in
ten years, while the population gains
only a hundred per cent in 25 yean.
This Is an average of more than one
murder each hour in the day for every
day in the year, to which must be added
7000 suicides last year, and these increas
ing more. rapidly than the murders.
Thirty-five thousand little children are
dying annually from starvation and
want; 20,000 people of all ages dyiug
annually in New York city alone from
want.
Two hundred and sixty thousand great
financial failures during the last 35
years ; a million more failures of men
for less than $3000 each, small grocers,
restaurants, hotels, etc. average busi
ness men "the bone and sinew of the
nation." Bank embezzlements and fail
ures during 1896, 125,000,000. The fore
closure of not less than 25 per cent of
the farms and homes of the people.
Two hundred and ten million acres of
public lands granted to railroad corpora
tions. These are the bitter fruits of igno
rance, apathy prejudice and partisan
ship on the part of the people by which
their rulers have bean aided and encour
aged to pile up this monstrous iniquity.
Forty billion dollars debt.
Nfne million mortgages. '
Three million un.'inployei men.
Class Struggle.
OUP ALLY, ENGLAND.
The assertion is boldly made by those
not in sympathy with the tortuous pol-J
icy of the administration that it has so
far bound .itself tip in diplomatic alli
ance with Great Britain that it positive
ly cannot move hand or foot except with
English'consent. There is reason to be
lieve that when the Treaty of Paris was
negotiated tho Anglo-American-China
development company was a powerful
factor and thu company represented a
union of English and American capi
talists who have undertaken to exploit
the Empire of Ohina. No one supposes
for a moment that the sovereignty of the
United Slates over the Philippines was
conceded by England without some dip
lomatic understanding with the state
department of our government, and the
vaunted open-door policy of Secretary
Hay has not betin advanced without an
understanding between o'ur government
and Great Britain as to the tariff status
iu the Philippines and the attitude of
t'ie United States toward the dismem
berment of China. Senator Lodge has
distinctly declared that our policy is
aimed at participation in the Chinese af
fair. It is claimed that the admini tra
tion has au understanding with Great
Britain that the open door shall be
maintained in the Philippines, and the
desperate state of tlie republican mind
is due to the discovery that the pledges
of the United States to England cannot
be executed without violating the con
stitution of the United States. The Anglo-maniacs
are challenged to disprove
that the United States is in the Philip
pines upon the sufferance of England,
and that the woeful and shameful waiver
in the Hay-Pauncefote treaty of our right
to fortify the Nicaragua canal was a part
of the price paid for our peaceful pos
session of the Philippines.

s', ect of a Trip Through Seventeen
States by tlie Editor;

' There are many prints of interest in
New Orleans. Its markets are a pecu
liar feature. Here you '" will find dis
played fruits, vegetables; fish, game,
meats, etc. You will also find small
coffee and lunch stands so th.it shop
pers or visitors can refresh themse Ives.
We partouk of an excellent lunch in the
French market by buying the eJibtes
and having them cooked to order.
There are four markets in the city," the
French, Poydra s, Magazine and Dry
ades. . "
The cemeteries of New Orleans are
very peculiar and ' interesting. The
graves and tombs are built entirely
above ground and were well kept and
presented a neat appearance. The peo
ple of this place seem to take pride in
outdoing their neighbors in the way of
tombs and monuments. If a body is
burkd on top of the ground it is covered
with earth and cemented in, as the
lowness of the ground prevents vaults
being dug on account of water, the
ground being six feet below sea level.
Many societies aud tlie richer families
have tombs, and the coffins are shoved
endwise in pigeonholes in the walls on
either side, and sealed up. Some of
these cost thousands of dollars.- The
tombs of the arm of Tennessee and of
the army of Northern Virginia in Me
tairie cemetery are grand. The former
contains a chapel, and here are buried
such noted personages as Gen. Albert
Sidney Johnson and Gen. Beauregard.
The piorer classes rent these "pigeon
holes," and after a number of years the
ashes are purchased back and the tombs
rented gain to some other unfortunates.
The most noted cemeteries are the Matai
rie, Greenwood, Lafayette and Chalmette,
which was the battleground of Janu
ary 8, 1815.
Other points of interest are the U. S.
mint, lake Pontcbartrain, the numerous
statutes and squares, the levels, Audo
bon park, which was the seat of Cotton
exposition.the theatres including the old
French theatre, Howard memorial li
brary and hall, where the Jeff Davis
collection of curios is located, Tulane
university, custom house and pos .of
fice, old Spanish fort, city park, etc.
The sewers of the city are bailt on top
of the ground alongside the sidewalk
and are open, in which water is sup
posed to be running all the time. The
streets are all paved with flat Btones and
the sewage doesn't run off as well as one
from the north or west would expect,but
the Southerner! seem satisfied. They
say all the refuse that is not carried off
ia dried np by the hot summer sun. To
our notion there is no wonder they have
yellow fever, although the white resi
dent does not seem to be afraid of it.hut
from the looks of the well-filled ceme
teries we should say they died once in a
while, at least.
We were given a iteamer ride on the
Mississippi on February 23th, but we
did not enjoy it very much as it was
very windy and cold, the only disagree
able day we spent in the south. The
weather in New Orleani compared with
the weather in Oregon at the time we
were there and seemed quite l;ke home.
The Mississippi rivet steamer differs,'
from our river steamers in hayirg two ;
smokestacks instead of one. v
The swamps through southern Louisi
ana are partly covered with water, cy- ,
press timber, which is used for lumber,
and small plant palms, such as the writer
has in his office window, and were for-
tineily iuhabited by alligators and run
away negroes. The alligators are fast be-
ing exterminated and alligator farms
are now features of the South.".
Restaurants, cafes and oyster counters
are very plentiful In New Orleans,Nand
from the quantity of oyster shells used
for roads, the people must eat a dozen
raw before each meal and another dozeu
before going to bed. The oysters of the '
Mississippi are very large ; a dozen and
a half made the writer a good meal al
though a native can eat several dozen
every day. Oysters are very cheap
costing 10 and 15 cents' per dozen on the
half shell at the bars. ; '
After three , days of convention we de
parted for Bay St. Louis, where le
were given a, carriage ride along the
oyster Shell road and a lunch ; then for
Gulfport, where we. were given a recep
tion, oyster roast, a boat ride on the
gulf, etc. The next morning we found
ourselves in the pine woods of Southern
Mississippi, 20 miles from the next town,
where we were expected to breakfast
with a broken engine. HaviDg w aited
Beveral hours, we arrived at Hattiesburg,
Miss., where we were given a barbecue.
Here the weather was too warm for
comfort, but the following morning we .
were too cold for comfort while crossing
the Ohio river at Cairo, arriving at St.
Louis later in the day,wheie the streets
were being cleaned of snow' and Ice. In
our trip throcgh the South we traveled
by the Illinois Central, the . Louisville'
& Nashville, and the Queen & Crescent.
Must Have More Room.
For the last fifteen years, Oregon City
has had the name of -being a poor field
for any mercantile enterprise, on ac
count of the short distance to the me
tropolis. No doubt that there was some justifl- ,
cation to this theory, as many newcom
ers tried to run stores with a special line
of goods and just as many bad to close
their doors after , a short period of un
successful operation, all on account of
Portland competition. . . . .
But after all we are proud to state
that there is one firm in this town that
would not get discouraged by failures of
other stores; on the contrary, these ."
wide-awake men, B. S- Bellomy , and ,
Frank Busck, worked with more energy ,
and skill and finally brought their eu- '
tablishment to a point where it is a
household item for the people of Clacka
mas county.
This firm, seeking larger salesrooms,
two years ago occupied the Weinhard
building, the most commodious stores in
Oregoli City. But after two successful
years, our housefurnishers again need
more room, in order to accommodate
the demands of their erowinJtrade.
They have under construction a build
ing 25x55 feet adjoining their present
storerooms, which will be rearty for oc
cupancy by the 23d of this month.
So we will sav that Messrs. Bellomy
& Busch's establishment is a living '
proof that Oregon City is a good field for
merchants and th:it by judiciously ad
vertising, trade is invited to come to
Oregon City and also benefits those
merchants ' that seldom advertise
their goods. " '
