OREGON OITY, SEPT. 27, 1901.
Till: LOST STRIKE.
Tho failure of the great strike of the
Bteelworkers and their loss of millions
of dollars in wages, is a severe blow to
them. All their suffering and sacrifice
seem to have been in vain- But they
will prove not to be. It has '.taught
them a lesson which thoy will not for
get. They have learned, unless they
are "brothers of the ox," that they must
fight their oppressors, the tyrants of the
steel trust, with the;r ballots; that the
candidates for office, from president
down, selected by the republican party,
are their enemies.
The failure of the strike wili intensify
the rapid growth of socialism in this
country. The laboring men see that
from a government that is in accord with
the trust tyrants they can get no relief.,
Therefore they will sot out to capture
the government.
This is no idle prophecy. Oppression of
the toiling masses has made the socialist
party so powerful in the Qermnn em
pire that the time is not far off when
it will capture the reichstag. The
socialists will capture congress, if Mor
gan and his gang are allowed a little
more rope with which to hang them
solves. "Whom the gods would destroy
they first make mad." The money
mad tyrants will find out in the sweet
by and bye that they are a pack of sav
age fools, not more civilized than the
cannibals.
Till'' SPIRIT OF LAWLESSNESS.
Tho s. e ls of anarchy are being sown
by many respectable people in these
later days. The growing lack of reppect
for law, courts, legislatures and oiliccrs
on the part of the people, is teaching ig
norant fanatics to go a little farther in
the eamo direction, and from being
sneercrs and maligners of our govern
ment, they bacome haters and plotters.
Every mob that lynches a criminal, no
matter how guilti', is an outbreak of
anarchy, or doing away with the forms
ol law, Every defiance of the law and
oUU'"3 by the liquor power, by the gam
ble's, by tho Hollers of the bodies of men
or women, by organized crime, is one
step toward Anarchy. Evorj defiance or
over -riding of the law by great compan
ies and corporations, in franchise steal
ing, in tax evasion, in unlawful com
bines und i'logi'l oppression of their em
ployees, m n weakening of the very law
and government to which they are the
quickest to appeal when any threat of
violence c lines,
Tie rieh who help to break .down the
let'p.'i t for l.uv by bribing councils and
legislatures, who help to bring authority
into contempt by UMiig itulwaya to
prokvt their pioperty whilo they op
proas (tie peoplo by raising tho prices of
the necessaries of life and cut down the
wages of the toilers, tho mayors, chiefs
if pi'lico nnd other executive officers
who assntuo to nullify laws by non-tm-foiceutcnl
when they do not please them
in f act all Americans, rieh or poor,
who obey only those laws ndiich pleaec
them and evade ir break down all laws
that they don't like, are but touching
the ti.rt principles of anarchy, which is
that t very man shall do as '.he pleases
and not lie bound by laws that he
doeMi't like. This etrikes at the veiy
louiul Uioti ol the government. As
Abraham Lincoln said :
"To the support of the Constitution
and the laws let every American pledge
Ms life, his property, and his sacred
honor ; let every man remember that to
viola!" tho law is to trample on the
blood of his father, and to tear tho char
ter of hia own and his children'sliherties.
Let reverence for tho laws be breathed
by every American mother to the lisp,
in,' bubo that prattles on her lap; let it
bo taught in tho schools, in seminaries,
in college; let it bejvritten in primers,
ppi.'!!ina' books, and almanacs; let it be
preached from the pulpit, proclaimed in
legidative halls, and enforced in courts
ofjtiBtice. And in short, let it become
the political religion of tho nation."
Pacific Bnptist.
AN OVERFLOWING TREASURY.
The public debt statement issued shows
the government has interest bearing in
debtedness of $970,000,000. The cash
piled up in the treasury a ounts to the
enormoiH sum of $1,160,089,789. This
immense sum is kept locked up on the
fiction that $770,000,000 of it is pledged
to the payment of treasury notes issued
for silver bullion purchases that were
Coined into dollars which are piled up in
the treasury vaults. No treasury no e
has ever been presented for redemption
in silver nor will it be. The money
piled up in the treasury could be put in
circulation without impairing the secur
ity of holders of treasury notes in the
least.
Much of this billion locked up in the
treasury, has been taken from the peo
ple by indirect taxation. The withdral
al of it from the arteries of trade and
commerce has contributed to no small
extent to depress prices of labor and ag
ricultural products.
'lhecousus of 1900 gave the United
St ttes a population of 76,000,000. The
total coinage to June 30,1900, was $2,996
000,000, a per capita coinage tf$o9. Of
this $15 per capita is locked up in the
treasury, and that, too, when it could
he put in circulation if the republican
party leaders were so minded.
According to the reports recently is
sued regarding the state of the camps in
South Africa, the Boer women and chil
dren were swept into them from their
burned-out homesteads by thousands.
Men fight and forget they were enemies
and with anything like self-government
in the course ol a few years the male
Boers might become citizens. . But the
memory of scenes witnessed the last few
months in these camps has been burned
into the minds of the' women to remain
until the last hours of their lives. They
will neither forget nor forgive. Their
hate will be imparted to their children,
some old enough to remember for them
selves, and others yet unborn to imbibe
with their mother's milk. It is not Ma
juba, Colenso, Spitz Kop and Paardeberg
that will be the ominous words in the
future history of South Africa, but the
Dames of these camps, little known to
the outside world, where women watched
their offering sicken and die, and
where little mounds of earth cover their
dearest treasures. Boston Evening

Theodorb Roosbvelt becomes Presi
dent of the Uuited States at the age of
forty-three an astounding climax, to
even his meteorio public career, lie
was graduated from Harvard at the age
twenty-two, was elected to the New
York Assembly at twenty four, was a
candidate for Mayor at twenty-Bix, ap
pointed a member of the National Civil
Service Commission at thirty-one, made
President of the Police Board of New

as colonel of volunteers for gallant ser
vices in Cuba at thirty-nine, was elected
goyemor of New York at forty and Vice

busy period he has found time to write
and publish twelve books and to make
almost numberless speeches.
Nuw light on the origin of species
among plants is to 1)3 credited to Prof.
Hugo do Viies, the well-known Dutch
botanist und biologist. Briefly stated.his
observations indicate that new species ap
pear suddenly by mutation, or change,
never as tho outcome of a progressive
variation. Ho avers that he lias been
able, for tho first time, to watch the
formation and development of new spe
cies. A reviewer of his work in the
English scientific journal, Nature, says:
"The facts are bo slrik ing and convinc
ing that an outsider, like Iho reviewer,
cannot but fool that a new period in tho
theories of the origin of species and of
evolution has been inaugurated."
Wiiit the aid of thiovinguity and state
officials, w ho, as silent p irtners, come in
for their share of the plunder, all the
street car and lighting plants of Phila
delphia have been combined with a cap

probably lest than 825,000,000 the bal
ance is tho value of tho me of the
streets which belong to the people, and
who thus are forced to pay for the use of
their own property.
Tun ostrich is a descendant of a genus

Tuts Pittsburg Post says that all the
bituminous coal mining companies of
Pennsylvania, Ohio, Indiana, Illinois,
i West Virginia and Kentucky are to bo
consolidated into one great corporation
by the J. P. Morgau syndicate. The
capital iuvoled amounts to $300,000,000.
Tm Employers' Association of San
Francisco has been formally condemned
by the Board of Supervisors and the
governor of the state for its policy against
the trade-unions. Tho latter lias re
fused to uso the militia for breaking the
strike.
The tobacco planters of the Connecti
cut valley are now' raising Sumatra to
bacco that is superior to the foreign
grown article. The result ia that in
stead of getting about 25 cents a pound
for their product they will get $1.75. It
paid them to experiment.
A Trust Article and Price.
Tl.e following from the Eugene Guard,
will be appreciated by the fellows who
work on ihe shift Y& hours for $1.50:
"In June 1899, a little over a year ao,
the Guard bought news paper for $2.85
per hundred pounds. About that time
the paper manufacturers got together in
a trust and began to gradually advance
the price. Paper bought the other day
cost $4 per hundred pounds.
Figure out the percentage of increase
$1.16. It is nearly hall the June,1900,
price, to be exact forty per cent. That
is what a trust has done to the newspa
pjrs. We do not charge a cent more
for subscription or advertising rated now
than- then , yet our paper costs us for ty
percent more. We do not love trusts,
in fact believe we are being robbed by
one of them.
The material, balm trees; from which
this paper is manufactured grows along
the Willamette river. It costs no more
today than U did in June, 1900. We
have not heard of an increase of wages
to the Oregon City paper mill employee.
The Portland dealers were just as anx
ious to sell us paper June, 1900, as they
are today. They were not losing money
on the goods. We are anxious to know
who gets that forty per cent advance
that we are paying. We like prosper
ity but do not want the other fellow to
get it all.
Y. M. C. A. Notes.
The work in the Yonn? Men's Christ
ian Association has begun in earnest.
New members are continually coming in
and the outlook is quite encouraging for
a prot perous season. Last Sunday ai
ternoon the first regular religious
meeting was held and the good attend
ance -vas noticeable. General Secretary
Stone of the Portland Y. M. C. A. was
present and had charge of the meeting,
which was good, as all his meetings are.
Loyalty to the Association, and com
pactness in effort was urged. With
these two essential attributes, the ac
complishment of much good is a cer
tainty. The gymnasium classes have been
started and this work will be made a
special feature of attraction and benefit
to the young men of Oregon City. There
will be special classes for business men
three afternoons of each week from 5 to
6 o'clock. Young men will have their
hours after 7 o'clock p. ra.. Intermedi
ates are to be given three half days in
the gymnasium, and the juniors will
have two. In all probability a ladies'
class will be organized after the work is
arranged.
Tbe educational classes will begin
work on the evening of Oct . 7th, and
only competent teachers will be em
ployed. It will be required that all
those who enter the night school Bhall
be members of the Association. The
fee will be so small that any one, not al
ready a member, can afford to join in
order to take the work desired.
By no wise least in importance in the
carriculum i9 the Bible study classes,
which are also to begin on October 7th.
It is hoped that a largenumber of Christ
ian young nun will avail themselves of
this opportunity to more thoroughly fa
miliarize themselves with the teachings
of the Mtster. Any mm whether a
member or not will be admitted to
th-se classes.
