OREGON CITY, FEB. 15, 1901.
In the face of a $180,000,000 private
sliipsubBidy proposal at Washington
the $10,500,000 demands for private pen
sions now confronting congress can
hardly be classed as illogical.
Jambs A. Garfield happily summed
up the Bervice John Marshall performed
for his country when he spoke of him as
"that great judge who found the consti
tution paper and made it power; who
found it a skeleton and clothed it with
flesh and blood,"
In 1890, convertible paper money to
the face value of 744,000,000 was in cir
culation in the European world (includ
ing America and the colonies) and the
stock of gold and silver coil was about
JE800.000.000, of which about one-fourth
was held as reserve. The gold standard
evidently rests on a paper base.
Im Edward VII's kingdom, despite
the passing artificial aid to prosperity
of a big war, there are 1,003,005 paupers
supported by public taxation, a a cost
of nearly $67,000,000 a year. With such
an army of destitutes, over a million
Btrong, it would seem ttiat British states
men miitht find better use for their sur
plus revenues than carrying on wars of
conquest.
Tin family that enjoys the throne of
Gieat Britaiu is know as the Guelphs.
They are a long-lived race ; one of them,
George III, dying in the 60th year of his
ruin n, the longest reign in English his
tory, lie was 81 years, 7 months and
1(5 days old when he departed this life,
and the same number of years, months
and days vouchsafed to Queen Victoria
would cause her death to fall on the 4th
day ol February, 1901. George I died
at 07, George II at 77, George III at
nearly 82, George IV at 08 and William
IV at 72.
Unless some vigorous pruning shall
be duue,of which there is no Bign,the ap
propriations for the second session of
the Fifty-sixth congress will reach $800,
000,0110. The appropriations for the
first session were $710,150,802.88. The
total appropriations will be greater tl.an
they ever were before and will include
approximately $77,000,000 for the navy,
$113,0,10,000,000 for the army,$ti0,000,0u()
for river and harbor improvements,
$140,000 for pensions, and other tie-
llHMldollH BlllllS.
Between Jan. 1 and Dec. 31, 1000,
American manufactures of iron and steel
amounting in value to $120,0:13,180 wore
sent abroad and profitably sold in foreign
markets. This was more than twice the
valuo of our exports of the s.imo manu
factures for the year 1807. In f,e face
of all these cumulative proofs that it
is no longer needed, the Diugtey worse
tlutu war taritr roumius un revised and
the trusts formed under It continue to
charge the American people more than
they are selling their goods for in foreiga
markets.
Sinc 107b, when the world's stock of
gold and silver coins was about $1,250,
000,000, three have been produced over
$15,000,000,000 of the precious metals.
Of this vast sum only about one-half re
mains on hand in the world as money;
the other half has gone into the arts,
brenlont.or hoarded in Asia. Were it
not that on the whole gold and silver
havo beeu mined at a loss, as statistics
prove, their consumption in the arts
would have been far loss than it Ins
been .
Tiik raheal dill'orence between the
.Eastern methods of raising Btoci and
those o( the West, is shown by this ex
cerpt from a contribution to the Breed
er's Guxeite,uublibhedin Indiana: "The
miooesHi ul feeder must mature his ani
mal as rapidly as possible from birth to
market, slid sell his beeves as yearlings,
weighing 1200 to 1300 pounds; his pigs
t six or eight mouths of age weighing
100 to 250 pound, aud his lambs at
from three to five months of age, weigh-
ing iromOO to 90 pounds. From the
foregoing one can better camprehend
why he selects 2500 to 3000-pound fin
ished cattle to raise the 1200 to 1300
pound baby beef.or the 850 or 900-Dound
hog to raise the 200 to 250-pound pig."
If the re-organizers would spend
more time opposing republican policies
and less time denouncing the nonuliats.
they would serve the cause better. The
populists came to the help of the demo
cratic party when the re-organizers
abandoned it and the latter are not in a
position to boast of superior attach
ment to democratic principles. What
is true ot the populists is also true of th
silver republicans, who have for years
vied with the democrats in their efforts
to advance the doctrines set forth in the
democratic platform. It will be an un
fortunate day for the democracy if the
bolting element on the outside or the cor
poration element on the inside is able to
so alter the party creed as to make it less
acceptable to our populist and silver re
publican allies. Bryan's Commoner.
Oub age is retrospective. It build)
the sepulchres of the fathers. It writes
biographies, histories and criticism.
The foregoing generations beheld God
ana jn attire, face to face: we throueh
their eyes. Why should not we also en
joy an original relation to the universe?
Why should not we have a omtrv an.i
philosophy of insight and not of tradi
tion and a religion by revelation to us,
and not the history of theirs? Embos
omed for a season in nature, whose
floods of life stream around and through
us. and invite us by the powers they
supply to action proportioned to nature,
why should we grope amoDg the dry
bones of the past or put the living gen
eration into masquerade out of its faded
wardrobe? The sun shines today, also.
There is more wool and flax in the fields.
I here are new lands, new men. new
thoughts. Let us ' demand our own
works and laws and worship. Emer
son. E L. Godkin, the eminent editor.
says in the New York Evening Post,
that ministers should not Drav for "the
success of our armies." He thinks they
might as well approach the throne of
grace "with a petition that ilia finftm v
might have his optic nerve cut by a ball ;
mat ne might have his pelvis smashed J
that he might be disemboweled : that h
might lose one or two legs ; that he
might He on the field 36 hours mortally
wounded ; that he might die of enteric
fever; that his provisions and water
migut give out; that his house mieht be
burned and his fami'v left roof-
ltss and starving. " In this way the leal
nature of the war would be laid before
the public carrying it on, and something
would be done to disabuse the minds of
the young men and their parents of the
idea that war is simply a kind of diver
sion, of the nature of a football game,
which will elevate their health and in-
crease their business.
Multituuinous are the plans for re
form, and for every plan there is a spon
sor. We seem to forget that the evils
we would reform are of slow growth ;
they have become a part of our national
and social growth. To make radical
change is but to bring in the wake of
change evils as great as those we labored
under before. Real reform consists not
so much in tearing down institutions as
in building up character. We must look
to the individual as the source of all real
progress. It is to the correct moral and
intellectual development that we pin
our laith for future generations. We
know that we have Btumbled in th
darkness. We build schools, we study
philosophy and religion, that we may
be enabled to so train the child that he
may avoid the pitfalls we have dug. Let
us not forget, in our fervid desue to edu
cate the brain, the development of the
moral nature. Moral purity and prob
ity is tho bed-rock of all true reform.
In 1783 the colonization of the unex
plored continent of the Southern Seas
began with the landing of Piiillin's
Jloet at Port Jackson, now the great city
ot Sydney, with a cargo of criminals.
ow at the moment of their consoliilu.
tion into a united commonwealth, the
people of Australia find themselves,
man lor man, the wealthiest of all na-
tiona in the world. They are in the un
questioned possession of a continental
island, tich in land fit for settlement and
industry of every kind practised in al
most any part of the world by men of
the race from which nearly all of thr.ni
have sprung. They have already laid
tiie foundations of a national prosperity
dependent on uo single product or indus
try, but embracing pastoral, agricultural
and mining industries in almost equal
degree; to which are rapidly liinr
added manufactures of the kind most
suited to the circumstances of the coun
try. Last year the total value of the
products of the colonies now forminir ih
commonwealth amounted to fully $.550,
000,000, of which th.ir pastoral indus
tries represented fully $150,000,000.
their agriculture $140,000,000. tl eir in in .
eral products fully $100,000,000 aud their
manufacturing and other industries the
remainder. This production was the
fruit of the industry of a people num
bering less than four million souls, and
it therefore represents a sum of one hun
dred and thirty-seven dollars for every
inhabitant of the country a sum proba- '
bly twice as great as that representing
the average earnings in any European
nation, and at least half as great again as
that in even this country
COMMONER PARAGRAPHS.
The following are excerptB from W. J.
Bryan's newspaper:
It is said that the new senator from
Minnesota is an anti-imperialist and a
Boer sympathizer. It remains to be
seen whether the pie counter will im
pair his mental digestion.
The latest official report from Luzon
conveyed the information that the "in
surrection" is ended. It also conveyed
the information that reinforcements were
needed without delay.
The Chicago Record says that Cuba's
debt is a puzzle. There is nothing
Btrange about this, however, the world
is full of such puzzles.
The banishment of the Manila editor
who dared to criticise an army officer is
calculated to make the Filipinos fall over
each other in their haste to accept the
liberal government proffered by the Taft
commission.
STATE SOCIALISM.
The conservative party of England has
proposed to the country an important
measure of state socialism. In an ad
dress at a recent conservative banquet,
the premier, Lord Salisbury, insisted
that if the conservatives were to keep
their hold on London th6V must take up
the housing question. "They should, "
he said, "devote all the power they pos
sess to getting rid of that which is really
a scandal to our civilization the suffer
ings which many of the working classes
have to undergo in the most moderate, I
might say, the most pitiable, accommo
dation." They must not be frightened
away from the remedies for social evils
by the fact that they are made a cover
or pretense for attacks upon property
and other institutions. "You must rt
pei these attacks, but at the same time
you must not allow your attention to be
diverted from the stern necessities which
the vast social changes of our time are
imposing upon all who cherish the pros
perity of this country."
It is a new matter altogether tor the
imperial parliament to undertake social
reform in the cities at the expense of
the taxpayers of the whole kingdom .
From all indications it appears the pro
posed programme will be acceptable to
the public. The Spectator in comment
ing upon it says : "It is a vital problem.
Unhappily, there are at thiB moment
thousands of children growing up in
London and the great towns under con
ditions which do not allow them to be
come good citizens, morally and physic
ally. Unless that state of things is
stopped, and we cease to produce a slum
population, the state is in danger of an
invasion of the worst possible kind the
invasion of an unfit and demoralized
population, not from outside, but from
within. No doubt the destruction of
slums is costly, but remember that the
essential thing for getting rid of slums
is not money, but care and trouble and
keeping watch that England is not'
fouled by recklessnes or laziness."
NO GOLD STANDARD.
The government of British India has
failed in its attempt to establish the
gold standard In the vast and populous
country under its control, and has
merely made gold coin a legal tender
equally with silver.
The present condition of scarcity of
silver iii Mexico and China, as well as
in India, forces the "Silver Question"
again into prominence, in spite of the
methods and policv that have been em
ployed, notably during the last eight or
nine years, to permanently break dovv n
the equality of white metal with gold,
as a standard money metal for use by
tho mints of the world.
The action of the Indian government
is always subject to the approval of the
British imperial government; and, as
we are told "that there would be no
currency questiou," in India, "if thoie
were no home charges" (the sums which
India must pay in Loudon for expenses
of government and interest on loans),
we must look rather to the policy dicta
ted by the Indian council of the British
government residing in London, favor
ing the interests of Great Britain, than
to the effect of that policy upon the in
terests of the people of India. Alterna
ting prosperity aud famine in the In
dian dependency have pushed the home
government to their wit's end to render
effective the well-known assertion of
Mr. Chamberlain, when he proclaimed
in parliament, in advocating a tempo
rary subsidy for the Vest Indian pos
sessions: "This country al
most lives upon its colonial empire."
The Sir H. II. Fowler committee re
ported in July, 1809: "Gold is not a le
gal tender in India, though the govern
ment will receive it ill payment of pub
lic dues ; that, the rupee remains by law
the only coin in which other than small
payments can bo nude ; that there is no
legal relation between rupees and gold ;
but that the Indian government lias de
clared (until further notice) a rate t
which rupees can be purchased for gold
coin or bullion such rate serving to de
termine the maximum limit to which
the sterling exchange can rise under
present arrangements."
