PATRONIZE HOWS INDUSTRY.
OREGON OITY, DEO. 27, 1901.
Exclusive of the enlisted men of the
army, we support 212,000 federal office
holders. And the number of tax-eaters
is constantly increasng.
One of the greatest hindrances to the
increase of population in this county is
the high rate of taxation and the large
county indebtedness. What is the
cause of it? Why, the stupidity of the
voters.
Tub railway earnings for the year
1900, according to Poor's Man'iel, the
recognized authority on railroad mat
ters, show an increase over the previous
vear of 27 per cent. Operating expensed,
of which wages figured as a partf ehow
an increase of one per cent.
vVilsiiirb's Magazine, suppressed by
Third Assistant Postmaster-General
Madden, is now published under pro
tection of the more liberal English gov
ernment in Toronto, Canada, at Temple
Building, whence it is mailed as second
class matter into the United Staies.
.In spite of drought and cyclones, Ok
lahoma cannot complain of being let t
out in the cold, for it produced over $50,
000,000 worth of agricultural products
during the past year and its population
increased over 100,000. Mercurial Kan
sas is not in the rear of the procession,
Unless its $50,003,000 worth of wheat
and $87,000,000 deposits in the banks
count for-nothing.
Tint four1 transcontinental railroads
have an aggregate mileage of 47,
372. On this, allowing an average cost
yer mile of construction of 1(25,000, the
four roads have issued noarly two bil
lions of watered stock, on which they
pay 4 per cent nearly $80,000,000. This
eighty millions is a tax on the country,
as much so as auy government tax. The
levying if such a tax is no less a violation
of law than a "hold-up' by a lone high
wayman. It is a heavy load placed on
the shoulders of commerce, mining and
agriculture by the modern' robber-bar-
0118.
Tim conference which was held in
New York city between J. P. Morgan
and other millionaires, besides diatiu
Slushed clergyman and lawyers, on one
side, and leaders of organized labor on
the othor, was a distinct advance to
ward the eventual goal of industrial
democracy, or to put it in other words,
towaid economic freedom without which
tho political freedom we have is hut
au ldld phraso. The gre.it strike of the
Steel workers has borna rich truits, for
any differences between tiie United
States Steel Co. and its 125,000 hands
will hereafter bi) arl itra'ed by a slaml
ingcommiitee of 30 gentlemen selected
from both sides. The captains of in
dustry perceive that without a loyal
'jinny of workers they me helpless.
Tiikrb is a hue and cry about anar
chists, and justly. But anarchists of
what stripe? They are pictured in the
funnyjpapt-rs as unkcmpt,haggnrd and of
slovenly gaib. But there is another
kind : a horse of different color, fleeter
and of faster gait. The Wall Street
Journal says the great railroad mo
nopoly formed by means of the North
ern Securities Company "will stand re
gardless of tho laws on the statute books.
There will be no real trouble for the
corporations no matter what the laws
may be." Is not this a distinct avowal
that the railroad monopoly defies law,
is anarchistic? If the country makes
laws against little anarchists what shall
it do with big anaivliistswhieh whodinrc
gaul law and are determined to do as
they please?
Thk Electrical Review calls attention
to an interesting explanation of tho
burning of coal. Coal, petroleum a"d
illuminating gas are relate ! to one an
other much asari) ice, water and steam.
For this reason, perfect combustion of
liquid fuel is already advanced a long
jtep toward vapjriziUion, just as ica Is
advanced toward steam when turned
iuto water. The volatile elements of
eaal are locked up m tho solid form, cr
virtually frozen solid. Professor Dowar
lui demonstrated how groat an amount
vt heat must bo taken from the so-called
permanent gases to make them solid.,
Yet nature has solidified gas into the
form of coal, and solid coal, like solid
ice, pill only dissolve into vapor through
the expenditure of heat.
A large number of Germans have
settled in Argentina and Brazil. By
furnishiug them 'with German schools,
the Kaiser provides a means of retain
ing their descendants as Germans, and
consequently should the Brazilian gov
ernment go to pieces at any time or even
become involved in sectional wars, there
would be a strong German element
ready to set itself up as an independent
statement. It is asserted by some au
thorities that the German government
is working for just such an object in
Brazil and Argentina. One of these
says: "Germany believes the
life tenancies of the dying
nations are running out. She thinks
she sees such places in South America,
in Asia Minor and in the far East, and
there she plants her schools. There
she hopes in future to direct her sur
plus population."
Nearly all the ancient nations cele
brated the winter solstice as a religious
festival. In India this custom is found
ti be of great antiquity. The people
cover their houses with leaves and
flowers and distribute gifts to their
friends. The date of this celebration
has always corresponded nearly with
that of Christmas. In China, in time of
the winter solstice, the last week of De
cember is celebrated with religious so
lemnities, and busines of all kinds is
stopped. The Bame may be said of Per
sia and Egypt. Budha and a number
of mythical heathen gods are said to
have been born on or near December
25th, that is, at the point in the earth's
orbit when the god of light, the sun,
is reborn, the days beginning to
lengthen. Mr. GibboD, in his "De
cline and Fall of the Roman Empire,"
says: "The Roman Christians, ignorant
of the real date of his (Christ's) birth,
fixed the Jsolemn festival to the 25th of
December, the Bruroalia, or Winter Sol
stice, when the Pagan annually cele
brated the birth of Sol." Thus the
Pagans were weaned from idolatry.
In '53 or'54, Captain Strain, a govern
ment officer, accompanied by a party of
sailors and natives of Nicaragua, started
from the town of Darien on the Atlantic
Bide of the Central American isthmus
on an exploring tour with the object of
crossing the same to the Pacific. The
map he bad for his guidance proved
very defective: where ho had expected
a plain course and easy traveling, a
pleasantjannt, as it were, be encoun
tered great obstacles for the surmount
ing of which he had made no prepara
tions. Rivers not on his map confronted
him. At last, after incredible hard
ships, to which not a few of the party
succumbed by death, the exploring
party reached the Pacific, the redoubt
able captain, like a true leader, proving
himself to be the most 'courageous and
spirited of them all. The isthmus has
at Darien a width of only 23 miles, and
the outkok is now that the straight
route across which Captain Strain en
deivored to explore, will be pierced by
a tido-water canal having a length of
20 miles, which will connect the Atlan
tic and the Pacific.
IXSULAR TRADE.
The bill applying Dingley tariff rates
to importB from the Philippines, passed
by the lower home of congress, could
not be more unstatosmanliko. It bIiows
the supreme powor of tho fat protected
interests in congress. They fix and
control the financial policy of the coun
try. As it is, European countries con
trol most of the Philippine commerce.
their total foaa year being $48,00:1,000,
and this insane folly of congress will
only tend to lessen tho small American
trade with the islands. The situation is
similar with regard to Cuba, which is
now buying $37,000,000 worth of goods a
year from other lands than this, and her
purchases from such lands are rapidly
increaang, while those from the United
States are decreasing. In tho seven
months ending on January 31, 1901. as
ompired with the corresponding
months a year before, tlure was a de
crease of $1,104,840 in Oaban purchases
from the t inted States, and an increaso
of $504,512 in Cuban purchases from
Germany alone. Cuba buys $0,000,000
worth ot cotton goods a year, of which
the United States Biipplies only $500,000 ;
and $2,000,000 worth of vegetables and
vegetable fibres, of which we supply onlv
$171,000; and $2,500,000 worth of oils, of
which only $713,000 worth conies from
this country j and $-3,470,000 worth of
animals and animal products, of which
this country contributes less than $2,
000,000. The tame is true in respect to
wines, leather goods, woolen goods and
other items. Our Cuban trade is dis
creditably small, and is crowing smaller.
But what hope is there of getting a bet
ter hold upon the Cuban market if we
do not open our market to Cuba, or a
better hold upon the Philippine market
if we do not open our own market to the
Philippines?
Charles Ueploglo, Atwater, O., was in
very bad shape, lie says: "I sutl'ered a
great deal wi'n my kidneys and was re
quested to try Foley's Kidney Cure. I
did so and in four days 1 was able to go
to work again, now I am eutirely well."

How many mothers realize that when
the baby's advent is expected they need
strength for two instead of one. Wom
en, weak, nervous, "just able to drag
around," find themselves, confronted
with coming maternity. They have
not strength enough for themselves, how
can they have strength to give a child ?
We don't look for the birth of strong
ideas from a weak miWl. Why should
we expect the birth of strong children
Horn weak motnersf
. The way to ensure health and strength
to mother and child
is to use Dr. Pierce's
Favorite Prescription
as a preparative for
motherhood. It
brings the mother's
strength up to the
requirements of nat
ure, so that she has
strength to give her
child. It nourishes
the nerves and so
quiets them. It en
courages a natural
appetite and induces
refreshing sleep.
Favorite Prescrip
tion " makes weak
women strong and
sick women well.
There is no alcohol
in "Favorite Pre
scription" and it is
tree Irom opium, co
caine and all other narcotics.
"I wish to let you know the great benefit my
wife derived through taking your ' Favorite
Prescription,' " writes Mr. Robert Harden, of
Brandon, Manitoba, Box' 235. "It was when
her baby came. We had heard so much of
your medicine that my wife decided to try it
I may say my wife's age was thirty-three
and this wai her first child). She commenced
to take ' Favorite Prescription ' five months be
fore her child was born. We have a fine healthy
girl, and we believe that this was mainly owing
to the ' Favorite Prescription,' taken faithfully
according to directions. We shall certainly rec
ommend it wherever we can."

CHEAT LUCK OF AN EDITOR.
"Fortwojeara all efforts to cure Ec
zema in the palms of my bands failed,"
writes Editor H. N. Lester, of Syracuse,
Kan., "then I was wholly cured by
Bucklen's Arnica Salve." It's the
world's best for Eruptions, Sores and
all skin diseases. Only 25c at G. A.
Harding's.

having always believed that no doctor
or medicine can cure in every case, but
never having heard where Banner Salve
failed to cure . leers, sores, tetter,eczema
or piles, as a matter of curiosity would
like to know if there are such cases. If
so they will gladly refund the money

There is more Catarrh in this section
of the country than all other diseases
put together, and until the last few
years was supposed to be incurable.
For a great many years doctors pro
nounced it a local disease.and prescribed
local remedies, and by constantly fail
ing to cure with local treatment, pro
noun :ed it incurable. Science lias
proven catarrh to be a constitutional
disease, and, therefore, requires consti-
mtional treatment. tiall'8 Catarrh
