OREGON OITY, AUG. 9, 1901.
Ex-Mayor Hewitt, of Now York, de
clares thai to be rich and not to use
riches lor the general good is to be dis
graced, "because after all riches are but
the result cf general co-operation."
That is exactly whut the socialists con
tend. Tub extension cf trolley lines in the
East amounts now to something like a
formidable rival to the steam roads It
is announced that Detroit and Pitts
burg will soon have trolley connection by
way of Cleveland which will give a road
of 375 miles under one management.
A contributor to the Contemporary
Review for May says that Great Lrit
ain has ceased to bo (he ' banker of the
world." "If we sum up Ue facts and
figures given," he i-ays, "evtry symp
torn points unmist.'.kenbly to the fact
that the British nation is living on its
capital." In 1893 its excess of imports
over exports was 207 ,019,843.- In 1898
the trade of Great Britain's cotton, iron
and woolen indus' ties was rAi, 500,000
less than in 11(73, while the annual im
ports of food were JC02.800,0(K greatfr.
J. J. McCarthy, president of the Iowa
Bar Association, in a recent address at a
meeting of that body said : ' One of long
experience on the be rich writes me that
in his opinion about one-half of all evi
dence received on behalf of the defense
of criminal cases is falte. Another judge
tit equally high repute writes that he be
lieves 73 pi r cent of the tvidence offered
in divorce eases approaehts deliberate
perjury. Another writes that per
jury is committed in a majority of
important lawtuils and that the crime is
rapidly h en asinp."
To do a geod ael because one is to get
something for it is to destroy all that
makes the doing of it good. To puisue
godliness because it is profitable, either
for this lile or some lifo to come, is to
thoroughly discredit godliness, and to
le!mo it i..to a coin of exchange. The
universe has nothing wherewith to pay
a man for doing right or for loving his
brother, because it has nothing of eo,ua!
or comparative worth. . The
reward of doing right is in being right ;
the reward of love is in loving; tho re
ward of service is in serving;
Ihe reward of telii ig the truth is the joy
of being tiue. Ex.

gist, and last but not least, a political
economist. Who of all professionitlists
aiv so intimately in touch with nature
as the farmer? Who e working mati rials
are so mighty, mysterious and Iwiulifnl
as his? What is the field, the garden,
lhegrienluu.se, but a vast laboratory ,
wbeio nature makes her ixperiuunta
continually on a scale so grand, by
methods so delicate, with precision so
perfect, with Miccess so infallible, that
wan, with ill t! e ; cmmulaU d tn amies
cf know ledge, with all the resources cf
vipeiied wisdom, can imitate her feebly,
and beholds her wonders with mingled
sensations of awe, delight and despair?
Ex.
At the present day, the devout peas
antry of Europe and the French peas
ants of Quobec use the same rude mi
)lenienls as their forefathers. On the
ether bund, the farmers of America have
in two hundrd and fifty years perfected
the most elaborate and scientific sys
tem of agriculture ever known. In
stead of the aooden plow and the hand
spade they have invented the steam
plow and harrow, the automatic seeder,
harvester, binder and thresher, the milk
separator, and a hosUof handy labor
saving contrivances. Every year, in the
United States alone, our farmers buy
125,000 self-binders and 175,000 mowers.
We have fifty agricultural colleges and
sixty government experiment stations.
Agricultural chemistry, a science un
known prior to the nineteenth century,
is now engaging the attention of brilliant
thinkers, and being popularized through
the medium of over three hundred
farmers' papers and magazines.
With the American Book Company to
pull the strings, the msnagement of the
text book business in the past by the re
publican party has been an outrage, says
the Capital Journal, and but for the hot
fight waged by Rev. Horace S. Lyman,
when he was a candidate for state su
perintendent on the union ticket in
1898, this change would never have heen
brought, about. It took a populist of so
cialistic proclivity to air the enormous
wrong done the schools of this state by
the republican managers, bring them to
the mourners' bench, and make them
cry ou, "Oh I my soul deliver me from
my associations. Give me a new heart
and a cleaner record than I had when I
was simply the political sgent of a mer
cenary trust." As a result of that fight
Ackerman was elected t tate superintend
ent by a majority several thousand less
than the rest of the ticket. He repudi
ated all his connection with the trust.
for whose entire list of books, he had
voted twice. The trust . has still a grip
on the educational department of this
tate and the people may look to see its
workers still co-operating with a large
and powerful faction of the republican
party.
THE LABORER'S PLIGHT.
"A long as there are millions of un
employed men in the United States,
only to glad to get a chance to work for
wage that will afford them the bare ne
cessities of life, wages cannot rise above
the minimum rate."
It is the pressure of the unemployed
that is the cause of all the strikes that
are lost. It is more effective to unions
defeats than than the policemen's clubs,
the militiamen's bayonets, or the stand
ing army's galling guns. It is this pres
sure that forces men into the army st
$13 a month to shoot down their fellow
men t nd devour one another; that
iri ses them rash the life out of each
other ; that drives men mud, tj aban
don their children and curse women
into beasts of burden or instruments of
lust.
When a scab appears on any part of
your body, you say that it is an indica
tion Unit your system is out of order.
The industrial scab is the product of
thu same cause, and cannot be removed
by oppressive or repressive means. The
social system is out of order, What is
the caune of the increasing number of
scabs, tramps hovels and .beggars, un
known a few years ago, whose appear
ance saps ihd vitality and threatens the
very life and existence of the trades
union movement? It is ealy ascertained.
It is caused by the industrial changes
that have revolutionized Ihe world in
the pa: t tvventy-fivo years. Every scien
tific discovery, labor-saving device and
mechanical invention, tends t ) render
physical labor unnecessary. Men are
const quoiitly discharged to shift fir
themselves, endeavoring to secure em
ployment on a labor m.tikot already
overcrowded, resulting in the condition
described ab ive.
"Wo are informed by unchallenged
and ineontrovcrtahle statistics, that hy
the development of the ste un enirine
anil lab a' saving machinery, the labor
of ouo mull can produce c unmo.lities,
food, cl. 'thing, lodgiiiL', etc., to nure
than c imfortably provide for twenty.
We are bitterly conscious of a grave
injustice and monitions in qudities by
which the wealth of iho nation is ag
gregated into the hands of a few and
the masses are pauperized. The hi
cieasing number of trades unioni.-ts is
but a protest against existing conditions,
liow then can we make our protest ef
fective, thai we may tnj y the full shaie
of the product of our l.tbor? Our Hp-
lions from the courts. The strike is
rendered ineffective by the policeman's
club and th.i si.Mier's yuu since the
boycott, the picket anil even the usj of
moral suasion is declared unlawful and
unconstitutional by the c mrts. Our
proV-ts will become effective, our de-
mands w ill be enforced and our appeals
will be heeded, only when the wage
workers themselves have developed suf
ficient intelligence on economic con
ditions to register their protest at the
ballot box, by voting with tlie social
istic party, whice stands for the masses
interest . It shonl 1 be evident to Vm
dullest intellect that if you would be
industrially free, you must control the
means by which you must live.
The capitalist class understand the
powers of having tho people read their
literature. They own and control al
most the entire press of the country and
it is the most effective instrument in
their possession. They poison, confuse,
deceive and befuddle the public minds,
in order to facilitate their operations in
robbing, cheating, swindling and skin
ning the producing masses.
If we would preserve the remaining
manhood and honor which is left un
crushed in the wageworker's breast, by
capitalist coercion and oppression, we
too, would educate and promote the in
telligence of our class, by having them
rtad our literature, published for their
interests Ernest Dugas in Painters'
Union Journal.
Slolalla Prairie. ,
(The following is an extract from a
pamphlet, now under preparation, show
ing the resources and advantages of
Clackamas county. The work of raising
funds for an edition of ten thousand
copies, estimated cost $500, has
been assigned by . the Oregon
City Board of Trade to a com
mittee of three Thomas F. Eyan, W. A.
Huntley and O. W. Eastham. Subscrip
tion blanks for the Molalla locality have
been placed in the hands of Bobbins &
Son, but the committee has not yet had
a report of the amount subscribed. Bar
low precinct has come forward with the
most liberal subscription yet reported of
$40. It is expected that Oregon City
will subscribe an amount equal to the
combined subscriptions of other parts of
the county.) .
Some fifty years ago an emigrant train
passed down the western slope of the
('ascada mountains. On the eave of a
tedious journey, the exhausted frontiers
men pitched their tents, where now
through a garden spot of farm land
beauty, the sparkling Molalla ttireads
its way. Here, in its picturesque ex
panse of shaded groves and broad green
pastures, they saw the long sought
Western Paradise.
They would build a home here, where
was neither church nor school, nor town
nor neighbors habitation. They would
turn to the use of man, the lands en
dowed by nature with abundant waters
and soil of unsurpassed richness.
A thriving people should arise here,
where, for unnumbered years, an untu
tored Indian tribe had joined in the
festive chase, where its proud hunters
had danced their mad dance in com
memoration of their skill and prowess,
where at night all had gathered round
the smouldering camp fire to listen to
their boasting tales of brave adventure.
Haifa century is gone and only a
name is left of the proud Molallas. Their
hunting grounds are nqw rich fields of
of prosperous farmers. Their beaten
trails have become broad highways. A
schoolbouse stands now, where thu
canipfire's curling smoke floated up
ward in pillowy folds. The great herds
of deer and elk are slain or have tied to
the mountains. After them the silent
retl man lias pressed his lonely trail.
Such was the plan of Providence that
a way bo made for their progress and
growth. Here were destined to stand
tho wi ndei fill grain fields of 01 ckamas
count v, the pride of the Willameue val
ley. There is coming now yet another re
generation. Tho pioneer was a huuter
or a warrior, not a farmer. His son, by
a course ol nature, passed into the whirl
pool of city hie and gaiety. The rich
farms of 320 or 040 acres are many lying
idle, many indifferently tilled hy their
pioneer owners who are now passing into
life's afternoon, a time that U deserving
of rest. Enterprising, up to date farm
ers from the East are beginning to see
the wealth lying idle here. Just as
these lands fifty years ago had no value
at all because of their being entirely un
known, bo now, because of their heing
little known, they are secu-e I by East
ern buyers at a tost of about $20 an acre.
Gulden opportunities are still awaiting
enterprises in this beautiful violalla prai
rie. An abundant harve-t rewinds him
who sows. When Bummer suns have
made the fields a waving, gilden sea,
stop in passing and look upon these
farm homes of plenty and ease. Here,
in the growing West, seek a home free
fiom the Bummer's binning sun, irt-e
from the winter's bitter cold, seek a
home free from insects and pests that
infui-t ihe middle states, find here un
bounded opportunities for the growing
boy .
