OREGON CITY, JAN. 11, 1901.
BiSMARck predicted that the British
Empire would split on the rock of
South Africa, and it is not at all cer
tain that his prediction may not he veri
fied. In all aaes wealth, like all power, has
found that it rniiBt rule all or nothing.
Its destiny is rule or ruin, and rule is
but a slower ruin. Hencs we find
monopoly in America securing every
year, a firmer control of the central
power in the states and at the national
capitol.
Tub great packing houses of Chicago
have revolutionized the beef butchering
business. The by-products of a steer are
worth more than the meat. A sleer
costing $35, yields $40 in meat and $45
in by-products. No wonder that within
a few years, the beef packing firms have
grown enormously rich, at the expense
both of the farmer and the consumer.
Ex-SPKakKB of the House of Repre
lenlatives Thomas B. Reed, while in
Wellington recently, propounded the
fl owing conundrum to some of his old
ffiiindsi ''If the United Slates can kill
Ki,003 Filipinos in ten months and call
it benevolent assimilation, how many
I 1 Spain have to kill in three hundred
l rs to warrant the United States in

a liHiulatu to conquer the Filipinos at

in.in becomes timtly : "Already Eng

anish policy of coercion, and why
puld they not complete the course?"

According to Brads'reut's, tin lead! ig
trusts which have been organized in
Falkland in the last few years are cap
italized at ,40,800.000. One of the
i'uits, the J. & P. Cnates Company,
Limited, absolutely contro's the world's
output of sewing cotton. During 1898
't paid dividends of 30 per cunt and
a mrther bonus ol 10 per cent to stuck

etfitalUed and advertised to the public,
ih't railroad companies havs long since
i' w ed to compete as regards rates,
i lie steamship lines have a freight agree
ment which, is strictly kept. The Lon-d-'H

.' joal dealers in qther districts, and a
trcvral coal trust is beved to exist.

The words of Abraham Lincoln with
regard to twenty of the twenty-three

voted against him in 1860, because he
reprefented the principles of human
liberty, are applicable today. He sid,
' These men will find they have not
read their Bible right." So it is with
thousands of conscientious Christian
men to-day who supported Hannaism at
the last election, an ism that seeks the
establishment of a worse slavery than
the slavery of the black race in 1860.

A group of mechanics now returning
from British India bring with them the
story of an American expansion in
which all can rejoice. They have com
pleted the construction of a great steel
bridge in the Shan Hills of Bui ma,
which is to be part of a railroad built by
tht government from Rangoon into
China. The steel was made by a Penn
sylvania firm, which secured the con
tract in competition with the world.
Three great freighters conveyed the
structural material across the seas, and
forty mechanics went out to do the
skilled work. Higher than the tallest
office hui'dings of Philadelphia and
nearly half a mile long, this bridge is a
fitting monument to American enter
prise and skill.
In applying the old militarv methods
to the solution of modern political prob
lems we may be as antiquated and out-
of-date as we should be in using the tac
tics or weapons of Wellington in a mod
ern battle. We may come to recognize
that even as the spasms and convulsions
of nature, though she works through
them, are less Important than the slow.
silent, everyday forces, so history is now
made less by the fire and .sword otthe
fighters than by the humble, prosaic
stay-at-home. Even if we regard the
fighters as the best means of expressing
the national force in a .crisis, Jlet us re
member that it is the national f.rce
that they express. For since thev
themselves "are in every sense a des
tructive, not a productive, element, the
very possibility of an effective fighting
force restB upon the commercial pros
perity of 'the country. I. Zangwell.
Last year Carnegie gave to colleie
an 1 churches over $3,000,000, and J. D.
Rockefeller during tlie past 15 years,
$15,000,000, They should have given
much more, as they gave only that
which, equitably, was not theirs. For
the dishonesty and hypocrisy they prac
ticed and the injustice and suffering
they inflicted on their fel'owmen dur
ing the years they were amassing the
millions f om which they made these
la g sacs, they omll not make atone
m 'tit even if thev bes'owed all that they
have on the pjor and joined the Salva
tion Armv. They have taught the
young men of Europe and America the
lesson that it is, morally, a matter of
indifference what means they use to be
come wealthy; that the end, millions,
having been attained, the means, how
ever wicked or lawless, will be sancti
fied by the worship of the "upper
crust" and the fawning of preachers
and college professors; iu short, tint
money is "ihe whole thing."
Tub New York Times, taking for its
text President McKinley's advice on the
subject of the reduction of taxation, that
thee should ba "remission of those
taxes which experience has shown to be
the most burdensome to the industries
of the people," palls attention to the
burdensome tax of $(l per ton on paper
suitable for newspapers and of $1.67 per
ton on mechanically good ground wood
pulp as a needless burden on a purely
domestic industry. It. is not threatened
by foreign competition snd needs no
protection. But it is taxed not only
on the raw maleritl, but on the mate
rial fr.uu which ihis is manufactured.
The duty is bo high that paper manu
facturers are able to agree on prices
amoiii: themselves free ivt only from all
danger of foreign competition, bu: from
the competition of new factories that
use imported pulp. They have become
a trust or monopoly very injurious to
the newspaper industry through favors
conferred by legislation. New Haven

Huopose we hi I a people with ahnn
dance of fond, but who luve been hoo
dooed into a notion that before they can
eat they must be provided with knives
and forks; but the making and furnish
ing of knives and forks has been made a
government monopoly, and run in the
interest of a few who ate engaged in the '
business of loaning out knives and forks
for people to eat with. Now that would '
be an absurd situation, wouldn't it.' I
But it Is exactly the present situation

abundance of credit services rendered '
to society and property .'owned, u-ith

production and the highest lonler of in.
tjlligenoe, who have been hoodooed into
the notion thatMor they can use that
credit, they must have certain tools
called money which have been ao
thorhed by the government; and then
when they complain of the scarcity of
those tools, they are set to quarrelling
among themselves as to what those
tools shall be made of .
It is like getting people, who are
starving for the want of knives and
forks, to quarrelling, as to whether those
knives and forks shall be made of gold,
or silver, or wood ; or what shall be the
standard of length to make them. For

SALOON VS. CHURCH. !
Rkv. Geo. L. McNutt, late pastor of
the Fourth Presbyterian Church of In
dianapolis, a Princeton College student
and graduate of Northwest University,
has finished a two-year's post-graduate
course in the school of bard labor, mills
and factories. He has learned why the
workingmen of our great manufacturing
cities attend saloons";nstead of churches
and reading rooms. He says as re
ported in the New Yoik Sunday Jour
nal, Dec. 16:
"In Braddock there is a magnificent
big building known as the Carnegie li
brary. Sunday, the only rest day of
the seven, the only day when the work
ing people really had a chance to bene
fit by Mr. Carnegie's so-called philan
thropy, that institution was closed. I
entered a chnrch. It was a magnificent
stone structure. My appearance elicited
some attention for I was dreBsed in over
alls, jumper and sweater. Aside from
that curiosity wbich my appearance
created I was unnotice'd. The sermon
was a series of hair-splitting legal opin
ions concerning something in the creed,
and .failed to interest me. I had
worked hard all the week in the air
brake shops and was not in the humor
to listen to such dry theological dis
cussions. I could readily see why the
working men do not go to the churches.
"Most churches today are a sort of
refrigerator, where religion is kept on
week-davs when it is not in use. The
saloon keeper understands the art of
reaching the masses better than the
churchman. The saloon Is made the
workwoman's club. '

The TarU Cab Driver.
Outside of many wine shops In Paris
and In the principal cities of France a
sign is often to be seen bearing the
words, Au cocher fldele ("To the faith
ful cocher"); beneath It a driver Is
pictured, bat In hand, restoring to a
gentleman and lady, the hirers of the
coach, a purse forgotten on the cush
ions of the vehicle. This Is not a con
ception of the artist, nor vile flattery
of the restaurant or wine shop to draw
thither the coachman with a foible for
the bottle, but a reality wbich ofteu oc
curs and of which the cocher has every
right to be proud.
Anybody who has lived any length
of time In Paris will Indorse the state
ment. Who has not forgotten au um
brella, a walking stick, a small satchel
or some little object on the seat or floor
of a public vehicle? And who has not
had his property restored without even
having taken the number of the ve
hicle, without any remembrance of the
physiognomy of the driver? By a sim

prefecture of police, Where all objects

Professor Countemfast Is a small
man with a large mentality. His wife
is a tnll woman, who believes In the
power of matter over mind. The pro
fessor had been absorbed the whole
evening In a profound paper on the
mental ohiinicterlstlcs of people who
were unhappily married. Suddenly
looking up. he remarked:
"My dear, are you aware of the fact
that a man's brain weighs about 3
pounds?"
"Humph! You've Just read that
haven't you?"
. "Er-er why er oh. yes; certainly.
of course."
"Well, that article says a woman's
brain Is not so heavy, eh?"
"Er er yes. It certainly does, but"
"And It also states that a woman's
brain Is of much tiner quality, doesn't
It?"
"Er er well, yes; you are quite
right, my dear."
"Now. listen to me. Just concen
trate your 3Ms pound brain on that
scuttle and figure Out how much It will
weigh after you bring It full of coal
from the cellar." The professor meek
ly bowed his great head. and. as he de
parted for the lower regions in search

Some years ago a man rnn hp a bill
of $200 In the Tremont House, Chica

it. The trunk which remained In his
room was uuusunlly heavy and when
opened after his departure was found
to contain specimens of ore, brought
from the gold and silver mines of Col

all his mouey. After waiting out the
legal time Mr. Gage sent the contents
of the trunk to an assayer. who return

than $100 iu excess of the bill after
deducting his own fees.
