OREGON CITY, JUNE 27, 1902.
"Tue majority of people, "says Ludwig
rucbner, "are always inclined to give
more credence to one f;ol than to the
sayings of seven wise men."
Morgan's steamship trust has raised
the freight on American flour from New
York 100 per cent and has thrown out of
business an immense fleet of ships not
iti the trust.
Senator Choatb estimates that the
Philippine war has cost us $400,000,000
and directly and indirectly has caused
the death of 600,000 Filipinos in two
provinces alone $GC6. 66 for eacb"good"
native .
The pledge of the French general,
Brngere, at the unveiling of the Roch
ambeau statue.is likely to became one of
the lasting phrases in our history. It ie:
"Enlre vou, entrenour; a la vie, a la
mort," (between you, between us; in
life, in death).
Wmi all our vaunting about popular
education, the fact remains that its Stan
dard is lower here than in Germany.
The Germans have learned the value, in
this commercial age, of technical educa
tion, about 9,500 chemists alone being
employed in her manufacturing estab
lishments. Tub expenditures of Dr. Wood'8
carpet-bag government in Cuba furnish
fun for Democrats. One of his pets, a
lawyer, held down ten jobs or grafts for
which he drew $07,080 per annum, ana
Wood and the sugar trust paid a lobbyist
by the name of Thurber for stuffing con
gress with political economy from the
Cuban standpoint. .
Butter is being shipped by the mer
chants of Portland in hermetically sealed
cans to Asia, Australia and the islands
of the sea. The foreign demand, con
stantly growing, is several times greater
than the supply, and it is practically
impossible for the Oregon i'airy farme
to overstock the maiket with choice
creamery butter.
Uoncciousnbss is the sum total of our
sensations, changing in different per
iods of life or under different conditions.
The consciousness of a man who has
grown wealthy is different from what it
would have been if he had remained
poor. This fact probably explains why
bald-headed multi-millionaire Rockefel
ler can be, or can make himself believe
he Is, both a law-defying, merciless
moneygraober and a pious, devoted
follower of Jesus Christ.
In tub supposedly prosperous and
typical city of Cincinnati the manager
of a large chattel mortgage loan com
panv savs that from data he knows to
be reliable two-thirds of the people in
that and other large cities of the country
"live within three days of starvation."
la other words, if wage-earning ceased
for three days from one end of the nation
to the othert.wo-thirds of the city work
ers would turn up on the fourth day pen
niless and clamoring for bread to satisfy
their helpless hunger. How long will it
be, under present conditions, before
prosperity reaches the fifteen million of
wage-workers in the country? It is an
absolute fact that, under present condi
tions, prosperity will never reach them .
It is being bIiowii by the statistics of
the labor bureau of the government that
15,000,000 wage earners in America
average only about $100 each per year
aud have two dependents to provide for
out of that sum. That gives $11.11 per
month to each beneficiary and half of
that only is available for lood a sum
that allows but six cents per meal to
each person. That is prosperity with a
vengemeel Imagine the fullness of the
dinner pail that has only six cents with
w hich to purchase the Oiling -and beef
at thirty cents a pound ! No wonder the
Republican campaign uunageis are be
ginning to tremble at the coming ides of
November and less wonder that they
are warning the trusts that it will cost
more cash to curry the country this fall
than it has ever cost before The empty
dinner pail is preparing to go on the
war path.
Almost any Loudon newspaper which
wo may chance to pick up these days
will acquaint us with two iniportaut
items of information: first, that King
Kdwaid VII. will be formally crowned
dining the last week of June, and, sec
ond, that British industrial prestige is
slowly but surely giving way before the
steady advances of American competi
tion. Tj pical of many other like editor
ial complaints is the following wail fronj
ihe London Black aud White: "Very
t-ooii there wilt tie nttie leit Here in
which the United States does not either
wholly possess or hold a ruling shaie.
What we wear, w hat we eat, the too$
we ue from our pens and writing desks
to the machines that run the workshop
and the foundry and the furnace, all
these, and more, are American. There
is not a market in which American com
petition is not pressing English manu
facturers harder and harder."
The debts of the corporations whose
securities are listed alone on the New
York Stock Exchange are $15,702,807,'
116. Of this $9 600,000,000 is preferred
and common stock and $6,085,000,000
bonds. In most of the corporations
the stock represents the legalized steal
ings of the promoters. Take the United
States S eel Corporation. The actual
cost of its property is estimated to be
not much above $2j0,0C3,C 0. on which,
by the way, it acquired during the 12
months ending March 5, a net profit of
$35,000,000. On this solid foundation of
actual assets it issued common and pre
ferred stock and bonds of $1,319,563,00.
In San Francisco the debt placed on the
consolidated street railways has risen
in ten years from about $10,000,000 to
$75,000,000, though but small increase
has been made in the properties. The
aggregate of the railroad debts of the
country is over $ 10,003 ,0G0, 000, of which
nearly one-half is stock and a little over
ODe-half is bonds. We see what pros
perity means to the astute financier
whose business is stock watering.
THE SHIPPING SUBSIDY.
The pro.oaed shipping subsidy is oulv
an extreme example of the state social
ism which saturates and perverts the
entire protective system. The under
lying principle of the system is that the
people should be supported by the favors
of the government, not that the govern
ment is a simple agency of the people to
serve necessary common needs at as low
cost aB possible. The protectionists are
now howling that it would be fatal to
disturb the business of the country by
reducing the taxes on competing foieign
goods. They admit by this cry of dread
and distress that they have bound the
business of the country hand and foot,
if their warning is worth listening to, to
the chances of government action. They
have arrogated to the government an
influence upon the private affairs and the
personal interests of citizens which no
despotism of ancient time? dared to aB
eert. But, this influence being within
the ultimate disposal of the voters, they
set up the most powerful incentive for
the believers in the socialist system to
amplify and extend it. They throw
Vwn the old barriers of individual
independence by magnifying the power
of the state And they encourage every
dreamer who wishes to make the Btate
the arbiter of all fortunes. Their own
game is essentially greedy and treacher
ous, but it is also dangerous New York
Times.
