Among tha possibilities is the expor
tation of breeding animals from the Pa
cific coast to EaRtern Siberia. A recent
consular report from Vladivostock Bays
th-re is a great demand for cattle in
tli it country, and Intimates that sheep
ami swine might be introduced from the
United States.
Thkrb is nothing m ore va'uable in this
world than youth and health and a pro
tetlve tariff. Mr. Carnegie said the other
day that ha would willingly part with
all of his millions to be put back aa he
was fifty years ago. The old skinner
is sorry because of the opportunities he
neglected to fleece the country.
The Coast Seamen's Journal of Au
gust 28th asserts, practically, that vic
tory is in sight for the army of strikers,
in San Francisco. Two hundred vessels
are tied up. The Examiner's most val
uable aid to the strikers' came will be
remembered by laboring men through
out the entire Pacific coast region.
Henhy L. Nelson, in a letter to the
N. Y. Evening Post, sums up the Phil
ippine policy of the Administration by
saying that "the Fillipinos are rebels
for political purposes and belligerents for
taxing purposes." The tobacco, sugar
and hemp interests are not ready for the
application of the Port'j Rico policy to
our Eastern possessions.
Tub best of commercial authorities
. have proven that only one man in twenty-five
who engages in business can suc
ceed ; all the others must fail sooner or
later. This is the history of commercial
enterprise in the United States for a
hundred years. Any system of industry
which can make no better showing than
this is a failure. We are in the stress
of a crisis, and we are fools if we shut
our eyes to the fact.
Tiiouau the national governmentowna
navy yards valued at $150,000,000, dur
ing the past ten years it built but four
Bhips in them of the toti 1 votal of $7,
200,000. During the same ten years
contractors built for the government 139
tdiips, and were paid for hull and ma
chinery $131,120,000. Millionaire ship
builders with a pull have shoved their
paws into the people's treat ury up to
their elbows. The capitalists run the
government, and no mistake.
Monisyocracv, the reign of money will,
comparatively speaking, be short-lived ,
for it must cease when it lias readied a
certain point of accumulation and be
comes openly antagoniHtiHtic to the wel
fare of the community. A generation or
so may pass away before the end is
reached, but cconnmio forces are at
work whioh will not permit much lon
ger of its postponement With tue evo
lution of those economic forces will
come the class consciousness of ihe
worker and the realization of Social
Equality. Ex.
Tun multi-millionaires hi'o rolling up
ill-gotten profits in ever increasing vol
ume. The 40 trust companies doing
businoHS in New York city reported their
profits for the Bix months ending July
1 a4l,'i per cent, or 89 pjr cent, per
annum. Astlieseoinbiiiationsof money
grubbers accumulate their stolen mill
ions, thoy are accumulating wratli
against the day of wrath. The day will
come when humanity will demand a
reckoning from thorn, granting no mercy,
for they grant none. As one sows, so he
reaps, is a law of nature.

Tub English and Irish cattlemen have
petitioned parliament for the redress of
a great grievance. They allego that the
Americans have by foul means obtained
control of Smithfleld, London's central
meat maiket. They say that British
cattle raiso" are. absolutely excluded
from that market ; that the Yankees get
together at 2 o'clock every morning and
fix the London price for meat for the
tilUs robbing consumers; that they
have secured possession of the market
.-bv means of unlimited expenditure
wked by newJ b'"8" nd thal tluy
b e doJ other dreadful things "They
Have held their pernicious.nionopol, long
uourU."
Thb agricultural interest in Germany
has secured a complete victory. The gov
ernment has acceded to all the demands
of the agrarian party, and the new Ger
man tariff is specially designed to pro
tect German farmers against foreign
competition. It will operate to restrict
the German market for American pro
duce, in some ways quite unjustly.
That farmers have thus been able to
dominate one of the most raonarohia! of
fernments, is an indication of what
ay can do in state or national affairs
in this country if oar farmers are united.
The tiusts, promoters .and politicians
who are so eagei ly planning to induce
the next congress to admit tropical pro
duce duty free, may wake up to find
themselves disappointed.. And if our
farmers in any state fail to secure just
laws, equal taxation and equal privi
leges with others, it is largely their own
fault. They only need to use their
power. . . .
Whb.s Hanna was speaking in Ohio
during the last campaign, writes H. G.
Wilshire in the Challenge, Davenport's
$ cartoons worked on his nerve. He
would ask his audiences if any one cou Id
see any dollar marks on his coat; then
when nobody, tpoke up he would
"smole" a great smile. However, when
he spoke in Tiffin and asked the Ques
tion, one fellow on the front benches
yelled out, "Yes, I see them all over
you." Hanna was discomfited a mo
ment. Then stepping forward on the
stage he turned out his coat for close r
inspection to the fellow who said he saw
thing., asking him to pick them out, so
the audience could see them also. The
man then cried out, "They are not on
vour coat, d n you j they are on your
hide." Hanna did not pursue the sub
ject further. '
The secretary of the interior has de
cided the case of two homestead entries
carried on appeal f om a Ualiforaia land
orace, that it requires residence, cultiva
tion and improvement, says the Eureka
Standard. The residence must be con
tinuous or as nearly t,o as the circum
stances will admit., A person who has
ahonesteid entry can go to some other
place and work o earn a living for a
When, years ago, County Judge Matlock had given the
county road between Oregon City and New Era to the South
ern Pacific railroad, the people of the southern part of the
county expressed their indignation by saying that if a county
g judge ever committed such a high-handed act of injustice again
they would mob him.
2 Recently our county board gave to an electric railroad com
2 pany the right of way from Oregon City to Canemah over the
J public highway, for which said board could have exacted and
received about $8ooo.
2 No effort has been made to mob the board for thus giving
tt away the people's property. This $8ooo would have built a
road over the bluff to replace the road given away. But
now, if we want that road built, another sum of thousands of
dollars must be piled on our county indebtedness. Say, are not
the taxpayers getting tired ?
Mobbing public officials faithless to their trust might become
as popular in Oregon as the lynching of negro ravishers in the
Southland. J. Voorhees, of the grange legislative committee,
does not hesitate to express the
j corrupt legislators should be hung. jjj
time, if necessary j but his home must
be on the land and nothing else will take
the place of actual residence and im
provement. Those whe tell homestead
entrymen that they only need to visit
the land occasionally and stay over a
night or two in the cabin erected as an
excuse for a dwelling, do injustice to the
entrymen, who often lose their claims
by accepting it . Becai.se some entries
are made and the land patented under
such circumstances, when no contest is
made, it must not be inferred that the
law requires nothing more thin a cabin,
a little fence or clearing and an occa
sional trip to the land embraced in a
homestead entry.
Pbhiiai8 tha most remarkable of the
sixty different substances obtained from
coal tar is eacchar'ne, 220 times sweott r
than cane sugar, useful for sweetening
fruit preserves, jams, jellies, etc., where
ordinary cane Bujiar would mold and
ferment in course of time. A most in
teresting and important property is that
it does not nourish and fatten the body
as cane sugar does; hence it is of value
in certain troubles l.ke diabetes, where
it Is often recommended by the physi
cian for sweetening tea or coffee in place
of cane sugar, Vanilin, now obtained
from this tar, is a delicate flavoring es
sence resembling the true vanilla'from
the vanilla bean, and the cultivation of
the plant in tho Cordilleras and Mauri
tius has been greatly restricted from the
introduction of this artificial vanilla. By
mixing essence of mirbane with a certain
proportion of this coal-tar vanilla, Lord
Uoacoe has prepared a delightful per
fume known as white heliotrope, and
many of the pleasant perfumes which
play an important part in the toilet of
every pretty maiden and courtly dame
are extracted, by the magic of chemis
try, from that black and ill-smelling
substance, tar.
' Thb middle, glass has had ever as its !
shibboleth the cry that "competition is
thelife of trade 1" It realizes that the
trust destroys competition ; that the stage
of competition in industrialism is rapidly
giving way to the monopolistic. Of the
business failures, which amounted dur
ing tha last decade of the nineteenth
century to, on the average, 14,000 per
year, 87 per cent, were of those whose
capital was under $5000, and 9 per cent,
those whose capital was over $5000, but
less than $20,0JO. Therefore, of the to
tal failures only about i per cent, had a
capital in excess of $20,000. More of
the 1,168,343 firms during business in
the United States and Canada in t he
year 1897, 223,332 either failed or went
out of business because their funds were
exhausted- In five years at this rate
the whole middle c'aBS would be wiped
out if it were not for the fact that there
are men with small surpluses who think
they can beat the game and who fill up
the vacant places. But the gambler's ax
iom that a "sucker is born every min
ute" can't hold good much longer in the
business world. These statistics give an
idea of the methods and progress of the
trust. What monumental gall, then, for
the Morgans, Rockefellers, Schwabs and
their like to deny the right of labor to
extend its organization by all the kind
of. pressure that the law will allow!
THE STEADFAST SEA.
That the sea has ever maintained the
even and level tenor of its way, while
the level of the land has been and is
constantly changing, says the London
Mariner, admits of easy and incontro
vertible proof. It is only a century ago
since marks were cut in the rocks on the
shore of Northern Sweden, near the
ocean level, and these marks are now
about seven feet above, the level
of the Baltic. It is found that
the coast of Sweden on the North
Sea rises at the rate of one foot In
ten years. At that time, ' also, correr
sponding marks were made on the south
ern extreme of the Province of Scandia,
and thes are now found to be three feet
below the level of the Baltic. . Even the
most ardent advocate of the everlasting
THEN AND NOW. 1
opinion from the rostrum that f
stability of the land will not expect us to
believe that the level of the ocean could
fall in the north and rise in the south, and
we may take it that the land in North
ern Sweden has risen, while that in the
southern portion has sunk. Many other
similar instances might be cited, nota
bly the observations of. Admiral Fitzroy
and Mr. Darwitj on the western coast of
South America, observations which tend
to Bhow that the greater part of the
South American coast has been raised
by a succession of upheavals. But our
endeavor is only to prove that the sea
is the stable element and does not
change like the land, and that a"tidai"
wave in midocean an! in fine weather
h an impossible condition, unless set up
by soma upheaval.

How To
Gain Flesh
Persons have been known to
gain a pound a day by taking
an ounce of SCOTT'S EMUL
SION. It is strange, but it often
happens.
Somehow the ounce produces
the pound ; it seems to start the
digestive machinery going prop
erly, so that the patient is able
to digest and absorb his ordinary
food, which he could not do be
fore, and that is the way the gain
is made.
A certain amount of flesh is
necessary for health ; if you have
not got it you can get it by
taking
You will find it just as useful in summer
as in winter, and if you are thriving upon
It don't stop because the weather is warm.
