OREGON CITY, OCT. 11, 1901.
SPREA D OF dOClA USM.
One of two results is' certain. In pro
tecting their investors the great trust
companies will either succeed or fail.
Let ua assume that they will fail that
they will not bb able to maintain their
monopolies, and that they will, there
fore, be unable to pay dividends on their
chares. The billions of dollars now be
ing poured into their treasures will in
that case be lost to the investors. Can
any man estimate the suffering and dis-
' tress which such a default would entail?
Is any prudent man willing to face the
Indignation of these multitudes? Will
any far-seeing man outline for us the so
cial discontent and fermen tation likely
to result from such'a colossal disaster?
On the other hand, let us assume that
the trusts will succeed in maintaining
their monopolies, and thus in paying
dividends on the masses of fictitious
capital which they are now putting into
circulation. In this case the investors
, should be measurably content; but how
.about the consumers? From them all
this vast tribute will be extorted? Many
of the necessaries of life will be made
dearer to them by these monopolies.
The drain upn their resources of this
alupenoua over-capitalization will be
constant and deadly, Does any sane
man believe that they will continue to
submit to it? It is not to be expected.
The Ameiiean people are not slaves, nor
will they endure such an imposition. If
thobe combinations are protected by law,
someway will be found of setting aside
the law. Of course such mighty masses
of wealth, with vested rights, and with
their roots spreading so widely through
out our society, will not yield tlioir
power without a ttrugglo.
These mammoth capitalists will
be backed by a large number of share
holders, whose interests have become
adverse to the interests of the consum
ing masses, and who possess enouoh in
telligence and social influence to rauko
the contest difficult and perhaps desper
ate. They will maintain, and with some
justice, that the state lias legitimated
the property they hold, and encouraged
them to invest their money in it, and
that the stale must protect their inter,
eetfl.
Such is the conflict which wo are pre;
paring for ourselves. I do not pretend
to know exactly how it is coming out,
but I know that tlio seeds of madness
and violence are being sown broadcast
every day, and tho harvest w coming
sure ami soon. Such a gigantic attempt
to bind burdens upon the whole com
munity of consumers munt provoke a
violent reaction. The billions of watered
slock are simply a legalized demand upon
the people for contributions of their sub
stance to tho.o who have given them
nothing in exchange. The feudal lords
of tho olden tune m.ulo no more unjust
demand. It will not bo endured. And
there ia terrible danger that these in
justices will bo swept away by a whirl
wind of popular wrath.
Is it not tiui" that sober men and wo
men of ull classes wire trying to think
this business through and siio what. the
issue must lie? Can the enormous crea
tion M lii'.titiotn capital which we are
now witnessing have any other signitl
vauco than this a determination to ex
act from the industries of the country
vast contributions for services not ren
dered? Is tins consistent with justice or
freedom? Is not this the very substance
of feudal oppression? Will a free peoplo
continue to Bubmit to it? "Universal
corporate compulsion in tho interest of
capital" is the goal toward which, in tho
estimate of Professor Small, our econom
ic wot Id Is moving. Of course- we shall
not tarry at that goal ; probably w e shall
never reach It. The swifter and tho
stronger the movement toward it, tho
more prompt and resolute will be the re
volt. When the purpose becomes evi
dent, these vast aggregations of capital
vill be "seized, their holders will be ex
propriated, B"1 t'ie propertied will pass
under the control of the people. In
dustrial feudalism, when it is finished,
will be speedily transformed into in
Jus trial democracy.
Tims it is that the present tendencies
in the business world are carrying us to
ward socialism at a plunging pace. The
shrewdest capitalists themselves recog-'
the fact. Rev. Dr. Washington Gladden
in Outlook.
THE STEEL OCTOPUS.
How vast and overpowering the Steel
Trust is, is shown by this brief table.of
the annu l output in tons of it3 princi
pal constituents:
Carnegie Steel Company 3,850,000
Federal Steel Company 2,500,000
National Steel Company 1,800,000
American Steel Hoop Company.. 1500,000
American Steel & Wire Co 700,000
American Sheet Steel Company 325,000
Total 11,375,000
This single corporation, controlled by
comparatively few men and equipped
with the most costly and complete ma
chinery, makes more than one third
of the steel products of the entire world.
The Carnegie Company alone pro
duces more than twice as much as all
France; the Federal Company twice as
much as all Russia ; all Great Britain
itself a million tons less than these two
companies combined.
The English autkor, Frederic Harri
80n, writes in Current Literature: "No
competent observer can doubt that in
wealth, manufactures and material pro
gress of all kinds tho United States in a
very few years must Hold the first place
in the world without dispute. Its popu
lation will soon double that of any na
tion of Western Europe. That popula
tion will have an education second only
to that of Germany and Switzerland, and
superior to that of any other European
nation. The natural resources of their
country exceed those of al! E"rope put
together. Their energy exceeds that of
the Eritish; their intelligence is hardly
second to that of Germany and France.
And their social and political system is
more favorable to the material develop
ment than any other society ever devised
by man. This extraordinary combina
tion of national and social qualities.with
vast numbers and unbounded physical
resources, cannot fail to give America
the undisputed lead in all material
things. It is a curious instance of the
power of national egotiem that Europe
fails to grasp this truth that Germans,
with their wretchedly poor country, nar
row seaboard and scanty rivers, ports
and minerals, alJ aspire to the first place ;
that Frenchmen fail to see how their
passion for art, rest and borne has handi
capped them in the race for supremacy
in things material ; that Britons, in their
narrow island and comfortable traditions,
will not recognize tiiat the industrial
prizes must ultimately go to numbers,
national unity, physical resources, geo
graphical opportunities, trained intelli
gence and restless ambition.
Tub war department has given out a
carefully prepared statement compar
ing the imports and exports of the Phil
ippine Islands for the seven months
ending January 31, 1901, with the same
period a year previous. This statement
is intended, of course, to show that U.
S. ownership and control of the islands,
is benefitting our trade, but a careful
study of the figures presented brings out
little to encourage that idea. When the
number of American soldiers and civil
ians on the islands is considered, the in
crease in the imports from the U, S
from $89,1,010 to $1,49J,4SS seems absurd
ly small, especially whtn tho increase
during the same period ia imports from
Europe was from $j,270,7iW to $3,97 1,
183. In the exports from tho islands
the IT. S. makes a still poorer showing,
the later seven months showing only
$1,477,011 against $2,030,030 the same
seven mouths of the previous year.
What adds to the aggravation of these
figures is that expoits to Europe show
an increase from $3,201,0 )3 to $7,983,751.
Even admitting that the commerce of
the Phillipinos will in the course of time
become as great aa the most sanguine
predict, where will tho benefit to U. S.
commerce como in, if Europe is to con
tinue to control the lion's share of it?
And there seems no way to shut the
European way out. The treaty of Paris
pledges the U.S. to give equal com
mercial privileges to all nations cut an
important figure in our future politics,
should lose no time in taking another
hard think on the subject.
The pictures that most men form of
this blissful existence are extremely
curious; the immaterial soul is placed in
tho midst of grossly m tterial pleasures.
Tho imagination of each believer paints
tho enduring splendor according to his
personal taste. The American Indian
trusts to tind in his Paradisj the finest
hunting grounds with innumerable
hordes of buffaloes and bears; the Es
kimo looks forward to sun-tipped ico-
bergs with an inexhaustible supp!y of
bears, seals and other polar animals ;
the effeminate Chingalese frames his
Paradise on the wonderful island-paradise
of Ceylon with its noble gardeus
and forests adding that there will be
unlimited supplies of rice and curry, of
cocoanuts and o'her frait, always at
hand; tho Moliamme.lau Arab believes
it will be a place of shady gardens of
(lowers, watered by cool springs and
filled with lovely maidens; the fisher
man of Sicily looks forward to a daily
super-abundance of the most valuable
fishes and the finest macaroni. In a
word, each believer really expects his
eternal life to be a direct continuation
of his individual life on earth, Only in
a "much improved and enlarged edition."
C. G. Luce, past master of the Michigan-
State Grange and ex-goverr.or of
the state, said in a recent address : "The
first great lesson to be learned in co-operation
is confidence in ourselves confi
dence in each other, confidence in our
Order, and love for and confidence in
our calling. If we entirely fail in this,
we fail in all. This kind of :o-operation
is not all embraced by membership, pay
ing dues, or even attending the meetings
of the Grange; something even broader
than this is required. The farmers of
the whole land ,need co-operation mere
than any other portion of our people. In
the very nature of our calling, we are of
necessity more isolated than others. It
isneeeded for social improvement as
well as for intellectual achivement. . It
is demanded for the protection of politi
cal IMGrhta Tf la ranniraA Hit tVia Kt.l.
est ana dearest Interests of all."
According to Popular Science, imita
tion new potatoes are now made, an in
dustry peculiar to the Portuguese, Ital
ians and Chinamen. Late in the season
a crop of potatoes is planted . Before
winter they attain a moderate size.
They are dug and buried until new po
tatoes begin to arrive from the South.
Then they are unearthed and dipped
into a large kettle contains hot water
and lye. The process causes the skin of
the potato to curl and also hardens the
potato itself, making it much more firm.
Upon removal from the solution the po
tatoes are rinsed and spies 1 out to dry.
So far as outward appearance is con
cerned, the imitation is so good that it
is next to impossible to pick out the
doctored potatoes from among those that
are genuine. California is said to be
the home of this mode of gardening.
From gold to grain. The transporta
tion companies running steamships to
Alaska are now in search of settlers for
that country, and it is stated that that
they are preparing to settle the valleys
of Southern Alaska with thousands of
hardy immigrants from Norway and
other northern European countries. But
even as far north as the valley of the
lower Yukon farming will prove remu
nerative, as experiments have demon
strated that there potatoes and other
vegetables grow to a large size and ma
ture. Emkbson says that whoever puts a
chain about the neck of his fellow fast
ens the other end about his own neck,
for we are of one flesh, and nothing is
more clear than that no one can in the
end really profit by injustice.

"Crgifig for
HicMoon"
Has become a pro
verbial phrase to ex
press the futility of
mere desire. There
are a great many peo
ple who think it is as
useless to hope tor health as to cry for the
moon. They have tried many medicines
and many doctors, but all in vain.
A great many hopeless men and women
have been cured by the use of Dr. Pierce's
Golden Medical Discovery; people with
obstinate coug-hs, bleeding; lungs, nig-ht-sweats
and other symptoms of disease
which if neglected or mmskillfully treated
find a fatal termination in consumption.
"Golden Medical Discovery " has a won
derful healing power. It increases the
nutrition of the body, and so gives strength
to throw off disease. It cleanses the blood
from poisonous impurities and enriches it
with the red corpuscles of health. It is
not a stimulant, but a strength giving mcdi
cine. It contains no alcohol, neither opium,
cocaine, nor any other narcotic.
Sometimes the extra profit paid by
inferior medicines tempts the dealer to
offer a substitute as "just as good" as "Dis
covery." If you are convinced that "Dis
covery " will cure you accept nothing else.
"I was In poor health when I commenced
taking Dr. Pierce's medicine," writes Mr, Elmer
Lawler, of Volga, Jefferson Co,, Indiana. "I
had stomach, kidney, heart, and lime trouble.
Was not able to do any work. 1 had a severe
cousin and hemorrhage of the lungs, but after

leaving me with a severe cough. I had the
doctor, but he didn't seem to help me any ; so
I commenced your med
icine again and took
three or four bottles of
the ' Discovery ' aud two
vials of Dr. Pierce's Pel
