OREGON CITY, JULY 25, 1902.
Tub American coin me rial agent at
SStanbridge, Canada, tells of the perfec
tion by a Canadian inventor of a ma
chine for laying bricks. The machine,
worked by two men and a boy, will lay
between four and six hundred bricks
per hour.
General Fitziiugh Lke predicts that
the condition of industrial helplessness
and torpor in which the do-nothing pol
icy of the republican party (in obedience
to the beet-sugar clique) has left the re
public of Cuba, will culminate either in
aa appeal for annexation or in anarchy.
It is only a question of limited time
when, most probably, a change of fuel
will produce a decidid revolution in
manufacturing industries in this state.
We may s.e crude oil from California
supplant cordwood, because it will prove
cheaper. When shipped in bulk in large
quantities, the cost of carriage will not
prove an obstacle to its use.
Couu.uiE, according to Health, has a
hygienic value. "Fear," says this med
ical paper, "'weakens the heart's action,
induces congestion, invites indigestion,
produces poison through decomposing
foods, and is tins the mother of auto
poisoning, which either directly causes
or greatly aids in the proJuction of
quite ninety per cent, of all our dis
eases." The United States treasury has a sur
plus piled up of $200,000,000. This
ought to be in the people's pockets, in
stead of having been extracted from
them in the form of high taxation, It
reduces the circulating medium and is a
temptation to congressional extrava
gance. That idol of the bigoted repub
licans, the protective tariff, will have
to be smashed.
Walter Wellman states in the Chi
cago Record-Herald, from official data,
that in 1901 the ad valorem duty on the
808,000,000 worth of imports was an
average of 50 per cent. ; that the 38 per
aent. protection on the $835,000,000 of
products of our iron and steel Industries
yielded their owners $;U7,000,000, and,
to give one an idea of the gigantic profits
in this business, that American steel
has beeu sold in London at 95
cents per 10Q pounds, when the same
steel was sold in America at $1,65 per
100.
How the state of Oregon any refuse
to pay Mrs. Waggoner the $1500 offered
or the return of Merrill, "dead or
alive," and retain its name for reliabil
ity, is quite beyond the ken of most of
us. Certainly, Mrs. Waggoner has re
turned Merrill dead, and that was one
of the two stipulations on the part of the
etate. Merrill was just as dead as he
could be, so that the state of Oregon got
what it wanted and should pay what it
promised, I'oitland Journal.
We Dud from the census that in 1890
there were 9,977 manufacturing estab
lishments in the city of Chicago. There
were 19,L'03 ia 19 X), or an increase of
jiearly 100 per cent. But the average
amount of capital to the establishment
was 20 per cent, less in 1900 than in
1890, which shows that plentyof men
.found chances to invest their brains,
'Skill and small capital in good enter
prises. T:ie trusts do not own all those
nearly twenty thousand factories in
Chicago, imr the majority in other great
rities.
That the hum ui race has recently
wonderfully increased in all the ele
ments of civiliztlion is bIiowii by this
stupendous fact, stated in an address by
Sir Kobe. Uillen : "During the 19th cen
tury the nii.nher of Earope.ui people
rose from 170,000,000 to 500,000,000. If
the same rate of increase continues dur
ing this century, at its end this popula
tion will have become 1,500,000,000 to
2,000,000,000." The remainder of the
world's population will, so far as can
e judged from the pint, remain nearly
stationary.
"Biiiioui to what competition in trade

from an address to the United States
senate on a bill before the senate to pre
vent adulterations, etc., in the District
of Columbia and U, S, territories, that
. Senator 1. J. McCuiuber, of North Da
. kota, stated that deleterious dangerous
food products to the value of more than
eleven hundred millions of dollars were
placed on our markets for sale last year,
while the total amount of adulterated
food products would come nearly up to
four thousand mihiouB tf dollnrs. In
other words, that we are paying at the
late of over $50 per head of our whole
population for spurious goods, and about
$15 per head for products positively
harmful.
CONGRESS AND LABOR.
The difference of interests between
the labor element of our population and
the last congress was fundamental. The
Coast Seaman's Journal of San Fran
cisco says in its leading editorial of July
16:
"Congress did nothing for labor, and
leas thap nothing for the seaman. The
action taken on the Chinese Exclusion,
Eight-Hour and Anti-Injunction bills,
amounts to nothing practical; st'll, the
fact that action was taken at all proves
that the national lawmakers have not
yet arrived at the point of entirely ig
noring the interests of the whole work
ing class. The refusal of congress to
recognize the interests of the seamen,
even to the small extent of formally in
troducing the bill offered in their behalf,
marks the line between formal defer
ence and open contempt.
"No legislation in the interest of the
seafaring or any other classyf labor need
be expected so long as the republican
party continues in control in both houses
of congress. Such, at any rate, is the
deliberately expressed judgment of the
men specially delegated by the Ameri
can Federation of Labor to k ep watch
upon the legislative interests of its con
stituents. This opinion is not tinctured
by partj bias, but is baed solely upon
the facts brought out in the course of a
long period of hard work to Becure fa
vorable action upon the labor bills.
"The Bingle exception in the anti-labor
record of congress is the defeat of the
Allen bill," which in its spirit and in
tent was a barbarous relic of the Middle
Age.
