Til li STEEL TRUST.
An American millionaire now visiting
Germany has said : ' "We do not fear
England in America, nor does Germany.
We simply fear each other, but the
world is big enough for both nations and
the rival trusts are going to harmonize
their interests. Mr. Morgan will be
here. After he begins it will not be
long before an international cartel to
regulate prices and products .will be
formed. We do not fear England be
cause tier machinery is obsolete and her
men are spiiitless and'ground to a low
level by false unionism. America and
Germany are going to stand together
and dominate the world politics of busi
ness. I think that one day the indus
tries of the entire world will be syndi
cated." In the meantime it is to be noted the
United States Investor declares a con
viction that the prime purpose of the
sleel trust is to promote speculatim.
After describing the John Law craze in
Franue it says : "We don't for a mo
ment suppose that the American people
are going to make such fools of them
selves over Mr. Morgan and his steel
combine as the French people did oyer
the marvelous Scotch financier in the
first quarter of the eighteenth century,
but unquestionably the new steel com
bine has been formed for the purpose of"
stimulating speculation, and the pro
moters, we take it, will be vastly dis
appointed if it does not foster a more
unrestrained speculative movement than
has ever yet been witnessed in this
country."
Tim three houses of J. P. Morgan,
Rockefeller and Rothschild, ahiehhuve
'financed the great Bteel trust, have a
Combined capital of three billion dollars.
'.Any and all governments in the world
are powerless against ibis consolidation
of wealth. It ru es the world, and un
less it ha overthrown peaceably if it
can be, but smashed in any event it
will become the world's tyrant. Com-
petition iu trade, except in a small way,
has become a thing of the past. How-
'evoi, we will not submit to being en
.slaved by the trust. Liberty shall nut
jierish.
TIIE PERIL OF THE CZAR. .
Yt u who live tranquil lives can scarce
ly realize the untiappy condition of
Nicholas II, the Czar of Russia, who,
with his millions of soldiers, millions of
acres and millions of gold, is unable to
find a sinule moment of peace and lives
iu a continual fear of his life.
A short time ago he tied from St. Pe
tertsburg, when warned of a plot, and
I now it has been discovered that he fled

mine under the uaiace out n wo iuu
before the plan could be cairied out , and
the czar is now confident that his trusted
officials told him of a fake plot at St. Pe
tersbura and advised him to go to Tsar
koe-Selo because it was their part of
thn scheme to send the czar to the
mined palace.
Like his predecessors he now fears to
partake of food that is hot prepared
his presence lest it contain poison. He
fears to remain in rooms that are not so
arranged that his enemies could not ob
tain access. And, worst of all, he
never sure whom to trust. Frequently
those who have pretended to be his
warmest friends and councellors have
nroved themselves traitors and con
spirators.
Threatened with war, with revolt of
his countrvmen. and with his own as-
sassination, it is no wonder ihat he is
"trifle nervous," and threatens to jum
his iob if the next baby that Mrs. Cza
bears him isn't a boy.

Ramble in Eastern Oregon.
A home missionary who has traveled
leisurely by team from California thro'
southeastern Oregon to Umatilla coun
ty, says that in no other part of the coun
try has he found so much waste land as
in the state of Oregon. One can not
form a conception of the fact he elated
without seeing that portion of the state,
which does not mean a shifting, fleeting
glance at it from the window of a rail
road car. Jne must walk along the sto
ny roads following the crooked canyons
among the rolling hills. The larger por
tion of the hills in the southern part of
Wasco, not to speak of the territory fur
ther south, is eoverid with the debris of
volcanic rock, scattered pell-mell as if
a huge crater had spewed its molten con
tents over the face of the earth. Rain
is scarce here and for all time to come
this rugged region will be only fit for
pasture and have but a small popula
tion. On the other hand, the level bottom
lands along the creeks and rivulets, and
in Btuall glens where springs burst forth,
are often wonderfully fertile. Fruit trees
grow there to perfection. The diseases
that attack them in the Willamette val
ley are unknown. Apples are sound
and hard in mid-winttr. Two imps of
grain are harvested from one sowing.the
second year "volunteer." With irriga
tion garden stuff grows in abundance,
but many old settlers are too lazy to
prepare the soil and plant it. They are
busy thinking over the profits on their
cattle or sheep.
The range here is overstocked with
heep. The grass is eaten off cIobo, yet,
so nutritious is it that the flocks keep in
fair condition. Were it not for the sum
mer range in the mountains, ihe sheep
business of Eastern Oregon would col-
apse. Judging from the burr in their
English, the majotity of sheepmen in
the region around Antelope are Scotch
men. JNot a tew oi them made their
start as herders. Having saved their
earnings for a few years, they bought

necessary and long stacks of rye nay uoi
the landscape at many points.
Here, also, indications of coal and pe
troleum are attracting the attention of
the prying capitalist, and mining for
gold has been begun in earnest.
The shooting of torn Kltey, a neruer,
on Trout Creek, by Jack Bruner, is uot
surprising, for there are tiockmasters

GLUTTONY
Is more common tha.we may think, if
we define gluttony as eating beyond the
body's need of sustenance and beyond
the stomach's capacity for digestion and
assimilation of food. That is a fair
definition, and it fastens the name glut
ton on many a person who would resent
the term as an insult. The fact of this
fluttony is marked by its consequences,
he overloaded stomach becomes dis
eased. The popular term for the condi
tion is "weak" stomach. The "weak"
stomach fails in furnishing adequate nu
trition for the body, and soon the "weak
ness " spreads from the stomach to other
organs.
Dr. Pierce's Golden Medical Discovery
cures diseases of the stomach and other
organs of digestion and nutrition. It
enables the perfect assimilation of food,
by which alone the health and strength
of the body is maintained.
"Your medicine helped me so much that I
cannot praise it too highly," writes Mrs. C. L.
Brooks, of Poland, Androscoggin Co., Me. The
first dose I took helped me. I cannot forget
how I felt when I took it ; I was suffering every
thing with indigestion, and mv stomach was so
bloated that it seemed as though it must burst.
My husband said he was going for the doctor,
but I said if he would get me a bottle of the
'Golden Medical Discovery' I would try that.
I had not taken it long when I felt relieved, and
have not had a touch of indigestion or stomach
trouble since. I had been sick for four years,
and less than four bottles cured me. Some
people that knew me before 1 began to take the
rGolden Medical Discovery' tell me that they
never saw such a change in any one, and they
also say they don't see how I can do such larife
washings as I do now, when I had not done a
washing for so long."
Dr. Pierce's Pellets cure biliousness.

THE rOl'ULlSTS.
On the money question the populist
partv has done a ureat deal of edu
cational work. It has steadfastly de
fended the greenback against the attacks
of the national banking iuteiests and
lias insisted that the rmht to issue
money is a sovereign function of govern
meut which cannot safely bo delegate
to private individuals or corporation
The democratic party has iu two conyen
lions supported this doctrine, although
dill'ering from the populists in the sub
ject of redeemabihty. The democrats
advocate a legal tendergieenback, issued
by the government, redeemable in coin,
the Kovet'ument to exercise the option
as to which coin, while the pipulists
believe n au irredeemable gieenback.
this diuereuce, howevei, has not pre
vented the democrats and populists from
act'ng together to save the greenback
annihilation.
The populists believe iu the quantita
tive theory of money and favor bimetal
ism b.'cause it w.uld give more
money thau inonometalisui. While
the democrats in the senate and
house of representatives had for twenty
years been voting for free coinage at six
teen to one, the populists were the first
to name the ratio iu a national platform.
The unexpected and unpromised in
crease in the supply of gold, while it
has tendered to lessen the immediate
importance of the money question, has
vindicated the quautiutive theory which
is advocated by democrats and populists
but wis until recently denied by repub
licans.
The populists, as might be expected,
oppose imperialism and trusts. They
also unite wit'i ihe democrats in favor
ing arbitration and condemning govern
ment by injunction and the blacklist.
No one wh i understands the history
of the last tun years cm djubt the in
fluence which the populist patty has ex
erted upon public affairs. It has been a
great educational factor and the demo
cratic party has strengthened rather than
"Bunchof Trouble on the Horizon."
The following letter is written by J. A.
Ord way, a United States soldier in the
Philippines to his mot lit r in Easton.
The letter is doubtless as truthful as it
is humorous :
Dear Mamma You asked me to de
scribe to yoi ths Pnilippines and Ma
nila. Well, I will try. The Philippines
are a bunch of trouble on the horii'm
They are bounded on thn north by rocks
and destruction, on the east by typhoons
and hurricanes, on the south bycinni
bals and earthquakes, and on the west
bv sharks and smuL'KlHrs, and the in
tericr of these islands is composed of
mud and mountains,
The total population of the Philip'
pines is 80,000 caribous, 8,000,000 peo
ple and 80,006,000 roosters; out of
these 8,000,000 population eight millions
are "InurectoV eiht million are
"amigos," and the balance are gamblers
and carromeeta driveis.
Tne Philippines are a good present for
a deadly enemy, and the cl:m ite is
pleasant for mo-qnitos, ants, tl -as, Hies,
hats, lizards, tarantulas, scorpions, cen
tipede, snakes, caribous and adigntors.
Mai trial fever is so prevalent, that on
many oc.sions the islands have been
shaken by the vibration oi the popula
tion. Just to cheer you up, and by way of
variety, are the gentle and soo lung
diseases: Beri Beri, smallp ix, leprosy,
uobile, itch, cholera and the bubo,.ic
plague.
The soil in the Philippines is vich
and produces largecrors of sugar, hemp,
tobacco, rice, disease, insurrection, hell
and foul aromas.
The inhabitants of the Philippines aie
very industrious; their chief industry
being cock fighting, stealing and mak
ing bolos. The houses and dres of the
natives are very attractive and consist
of transparencies and landscapes. The
Filipino wedding service is deeply im
pressive, especially the clause in the
marriage contract wherein the bride is
given the privilege of working as much
as her husband desires. The principal
diet in the Philippines sflVrds a large
and wholesome variety including fried
tish, rice, rice, rice and fried tish, boiled
tish, stewed rice and tish, and fish and
rice.
The Philippines are a good place for
the ordinary sucker Irom t.ie United
Slates to keep away from.
The above statements read like a ser
ies of j'ikes but they are the truth, the
whole truth, so help me Moses.
