OREGON CITY, JUNE 6, 1902.
Lmxtati in butter, or oleomargarine, is
produced at a c rat of 4 cents a pouDd.
Among the tenement populni'on of
New York city are nearly 30,003 inflict
ed ith tuberculoma. Wliat to d with
tLfsa victim i of sweatshop existence is
an appalling problem.
One per cent of population owns as
much wealth a the other 99 percent
That is to say, 760.000 people own $40,-
000,000,000, and about 74,000,000 people
own another $40,000,000. It is easy to
see how and v, iy an oligarchyof mil
lionaire8 rules the country.
Mohgan's steamship merger includes
118 ships with 891,003 tounage and a
couple hundred millions of capital.
Other lilies not directly in the merger
affiliate with it. Justly, the Britishers
are alarmed over this Yankee invasion
of Europe.
All of the real and personal property
in this country is valued at $81,000,000,
000, and 3828 millionaires own $16,000,
000,000, or one-fifth of it. The financial
interests of these 4000 rich men control
the actions of congress, and that is why
it is so averse to do any legislating for
Ceba or the Philippines or the proposed
isthmian ship canal.
Tne cost of operating the fleet of 43
transport tteamers plying between San
Francisco and Manila during the first 16
months of the Philippine war waa nearly
$11,(100,000, which was about five times
as much as the cost of operating a simi
lar fleet of passenger and freight Bteara
,ers. The contractors, therefor, stole
over $8,000,000 in the 16 months.
In Great Britain the average life time
of a luboror is 29 years, while that of
the man jf means whom he carries on
ilia back is 65 years. If a laborer of un
commonly rugjed constitution happeu
to.reach old age, the man whom he has
v carried on hia back chucks him into the
poorhouse, to straddle another able
bodied bumpkin,
'U this Mr. Rockefellers' church?"
'No air; this is not Mr. Rockefeller's
church. This is the Fifth Avenue Bap
tist church, of which Mr. Rockefeller is
member." This question and reply
can be heard jevral dozen (imes every
Sunday morning at the door of the Fifth
Avenue Baptist church, New York
city. ' i
The latest municipal hold-up took
place at New Haven, Oonn. The city
gave to certain genteel footpads a water
franchise worth $2,000,000, not to be
taxed in all eternity, and conferring the
privilege of charging 25 per cent, more
lor water than the rates in nearby
towns. If Oregon City or CluckamaK
county has any more valuable fran
chises todonate, this is a pointer.
N. O. Nki.hon, millionaire, has for 12
years successfully conducted a large co
operative factory at Leclatre, a village 18
miles from St. Louis which he founded.
The extensive business is conducted on
democratic plans. Nelson lives in a cot
tage among Ids employes, and strikes
never take plate at Leclaire. Every
Lody is contented and does what he
pleases lit cause he pleases to do right.
PiutiDBNT Schwab tells us in his re
port of the Steel Corporation's first fis
cal year, just issued, that the market
value of iu product for the year waa
$ 159,000,000, its total wage payment to
its 158,000 employes neaily $113,000 000,
And its net profits $31,500,000, after ap
propriating $24,5 )0,000 for "repairs and
"maintenance." This "infant" sella
eteol to the English $6 per ton less than
to home customers.
The common laborers at II err Krupp'g
mammoth steel and iron works in Ea
Bv'ii, Germany, receive a dollar a day
nd pay .20 cents a day for board and
lodging. As their job lasts a life-time
. ond many privileges are thrown in with
the wages, which have been procured
Vy the munificent proprietor, they are
really better off than an American la
borer who rceives $1.50 per day, but fur
ther little thought or consideration from
Ji is employer.
On u of the worst results oi the domi
nant commercialism Is the employment
of women, which is detrimental not
only to them in many ways but also to
the male workers, their wages being
lowered in cousenueuce. By compari
sons taken from government labor and
wage tables it is shown that in many
manual mid mechanical employments
women now perform the same Borvice,
yetting the same results, for one-third
to one-half the wages formerly paid to
men, while the raw materials cost even
leea and the unfinished proluct is sold
lor the same, or better, prices.
Boston ha.i a population 'f nh ut
450,000, a Utile greater than that of Ore
gon. It ha9 a public-owtiec ship print
ing plant, in which all th - Hub's printing
is done. Ib five years' time the ex
pense of this Bervice v as $40,128 in ex
cees of what it w uld have been if per
formed by a private-ownership print
shop. It will save money to the people
of Boston to go out of the pr'mtin g bui
ness, and to the people of On gin tuo.
Germany means, if die can, say the
London Spectator, ''to pull down the
British Empire and erect on its ruins a
Teutonic world power, just as she hopes
to build up on the ruins of the Austro
Hui giirian Empire a European state
which shall embrace all German-speaking
Europe. The intenEe popular ani
mosity felt in Germany toward England
is not sentimental, fictitious or unreal.
It is deep and genuine or, us a German
philosopher would say, positive and cate
gorical." The coal n-gions of Virginia are under
the despotism of capitalism. The school
houses are never opened in order that
the children of the miner may receive a
smattering of education: they must
work to awell the profits of the owners
of the mines in New York or in Paris,
perhapa. Little boys work 14 hours
daily in the coal mines, for 6Q cents a
day. Tuey grow upiu them becoming, at
maturity, stunted in body and mind.
The black HbI excommunicates any
miner that dares to i-ay that his soul is
his on. Negro slavery in its worst
form was never more inhuman than
this white slavery.
PaoTiscnoN has put a prohibitive tar
iff on the cattle and sheep from Canada,
Mexico and South America, and the
great packers, who poured their hun
dreds of thousands into the Mark Hanna
campaign chest, now control the cattle
markets of this'country . They own the
great packeries, nearly all the storage
plants for meats and perishable food
producta and the refriger.Uor cirs by
which alone ttey can be transported to
the consumers of the nation. Is it any
wonder that with its six-finuered hand
of protection-mailed power on the throats
of the people the beef trust should levy
on their Uvea the heaviest taxes and
tributes that the tables and stomachs of
the consumer will bear?
M. E. Inqalls, president of the Big
Four Railroad, said in an interview in
Chicago: "It is time that somebody or
something called a Jhalt, else who can
tell how far our Caesar's ambition may
lead? If this thing of merging railroads
keeps up and the logical end is reached,
it means one-man ownership of railroads.
That intolerable condition would neces
sitate the government buying out the
roads, and government ownership would
be a calamity." That "c ilaraity" would
lead to more "calamities." If the railroad-magnates
sold out to the govern
ment, would they not absolutely mo
nopolize several principal industries by
investing their idle billions in them?
They are steering the country rapidly
into the unknown ocean of socialism
Huqo Pr Vkiks, profeBsor of botany
in the University of Amsterdam, has
originated, within a few years' time,
three new constant sptcies of plants,
viz.: A five-leaved clover, a double chry
santhemum (from the grandiflorum
variety of the golden corn flower), and a
gigantic evening primrose. By scientific
cultivation under conditions most favor
able, De Vries accomplished evolutions
in the production of these three plant
which unaidhd, in a state of nature,
would have required ages. He finds
that man cannot make the varieties
from which newspe;ies are produced,
but can only" direct them, and that they
come at once, spontaneously, complete.
Careful culture is selection itself, for
selection is the choice of the best nour
ished. It Is positively asserted by those who
have critically Btudied the Chinese ex
clusion act pasBed by congress, which
went into effect May 5, that it. haa men
so cunningly and loosely worded that
Chinamen can enter the United Statee
through the Philippine islands or other
foreign countries, as Mexico or Canada,
inun'imited numbers. The senate ab
solutely refused to pass any bill more
stringent than the one which has become
a law. The pro-Chinese lobby is all
powerful at Washington, and it i gilded
palm has pursuaded congress to betray
the American people. Greed holds ty
rannic swsy at the nation's capital.
The republican party must be held re
sponsible for this piece of wicked legisla
tion.
Graduating Exercises.
Editor :
Anyone who attended the graduating
everoises Tuesday evening must have
recognized the excellent quality of the
entertainment generally. It is to be re
gretted that eo few were present to en
joy it. The empty Beats were more con
spicuous ' than the occupied ones.
The graduating exercises are but a
part of our public school systom, a beau
tiful and impressive part, whose areat-
eat usefulness lies in keeping interest in j
me nigiier uepanmeni 01 our scuooi,
and in being a goal for pupils in the
lower grades. It. can accomplish its
end best I had almost 8 od only when
a large number of our people are iu ac
tive cooperation. To charge so large an
admission to a function so obviously for
the people, that the people feel unable
to atti nd ito defeat the very or jcct for
hioli iheixercises are intended. -
The lust entertainment was well worth
25 rents, but when that i too much to
permit even Shively'n hall to be filled,
some other atrangement should be made
sn the inspiration of the occasion mav
reach those who most need and perhaps
most desire it. The college towns al 1
over the valley make commencement
wetkavala week, a season of gaieties
and festivities And here we vif)h no
h'gher insti'uijon to lemand our active
interest, can not have more enthusiasm
Idisplayed than a half filled hall on one
evening.
On behalf of the school children and
gradiiitt.es I appeal fur a heartier dem
onstration. On behalf of the public, I
appeal for such an arrangement as will
make possible a large attendance at the
exercises.'

BEPUBLICAX LANDSLIDE.
Enire County ticket Elided by
Majorities Banff ing from
' 100 to 1500.
As a result of Monday's election after
July 1st, the Oregon City court house
will be entirely occupied by republican
officials, first time for six years. Every
body has excuses and reasons for tile
defeat of the citizens ticket. The writer
believes many votea were lost on ac
count of the personal campaign made
against one man, who beat the strongest
candidate the opposition had by a large'
majority. One act that lost more votes
than any other was tha getting out of a
campaign sheet called the "Good Citi
zen" at the eleventh hour; others were
the day's sojourn of Col. Hofer,of Salem,
in Clackamas county, and the sending
out of speakers that should have stayed
at home. The Courier-Herald tried to
have a campaign without mudslinging
conducted and had njthing to do with
the printing of the "Good Citizen" and
knew nothing about it till it was mailed.
Maybe eome of the enthusiastic cam
paigners realize now that the writer
was nearer right that he was given cred
it fir on several occasions when these
matters were brought up. He haa al
ways tried to do his duty and dil w hat
he thought waa best and is satisfied that
several "citizens" would have been
elected had his advice been followed.
We do not wish to ceisure anyone but
we have been criticized and wish
merely to state our position. It is the
opinion of many that a straight demo
cratic ticket would have polled more
votes. Look what was done in the
state a straight democrat elected gov
ernor in a ranK republican state, and
with no fusion either The citizens
ticket was one of the cleanest and best
t ckets ever put up in Clackamas county
ami its defeat wis not a bio w at the in
dividuals but at the methods employed
to elect. The republicans now have all
the reins of the county government and
we look for them to "overdo it" in two
or three years to such an extenfthat
we'll no doubt have another change by
that time.

As Is well known, Dr. Hartman Is the

In view of the great multitude of
women sufferings from some kind of
female disease, and yet unable to find
any cure, Dr. Hartman, the renowned
gynaecologist, has announced his wil
lingness to direct the treatment of as
many cases as may make application to
him during the summer months with

Tha treatment will be conducted by
correspondence. The doctor will pre
scribe all medicines, applications, hy

sary to complete a cure. The medicines
prescribed can be obtained at all drug
stores. This offer will prevail during
the summer months. Any woman can
become a regular patient by sending a
written statement of her ago, condition
of life, history and symptoms of her de
rangements. All cases of female diseases, Including
menstrual irregularities, displacements,
ulcerations, inflammations, discharges,

"Peruna is wonderful and good, and a

been ill and have been taking doctor's
medicine for several years, and found
that none did me any good.
"Every day It was a worry. I was
always sick. I had come to the con
clusion to give up, and not use any
more medicine. I was sick Indeed tor
the past two years. Just before I began
to take Peruna I was very weak, be

" I had pains in my back and side and

"One day while reading my news
