OREGON CITY, AUGUST 8. 1902.
Tub American carpenter pays $2.25
for the same kpg of nails for which the
foreigner pays $1.30.
According to a bulletin of the census
bureau, there were in the country in
1890 5,739,657 farms, valued, with live
stock and farm implements and ma
chinery, at $20,514,001,838.
The forcible retirement of General
Jake Smith for his "kill-and-burn" order
in the island of Saiuar, is but a con
temptible attempt of the war depart
ment to make the old fighter a scape
goat for its own iniquities.
Monby and "loot" is all that Aguin
aldo was after in the Philippines, ac
cording to Admiral Dewey. Well, what
else is there in the Philippine civil gov
ernment bill when cut down to the
bone? Philadelphia (Pa.) Record.
Nineteen states will elect governors
this fall. They are: Arkansas, Califor
nia, Colorado.Connecticut, Kansas, Ken
tucky, Mhine, Massachusetts,' Michi
gan, Minnesota, Nebraska, Nevada, New
Hampshire, North Dakota, Tennessee,
Texas, Wisconsin, Wyoming and Idaho.
Wiiat say our republican friends about
wire nails, wire rope, shovels, axle
grease, washboards, meat choppers,
barbed wire, clocks, lawn mowers, fruit
jars, typewriters, sewing machines anj
pianos, which are made in America and
sold in America from 40 per cent to 100
per cflnt more than they are sold for in
foreign countries?
On the basis of government estimates
of condition and acreage, the wheat
crop of 1902 will be about 633,000,000
bushels, as compared with 748,000,000 in
1901. The present estimate of corn for
1902 is 2,590,000,000 bushels, as against
1,522,000,000 last year. The outlook for
oats and barley Is much better than it
was a year ago.
The Philadelphia Record sums up the
ibituation tersely when it says : "Grad
ually the economic issues before the peo
ple are tending toward one central and
all-embracing question shall or shall
not a high protective duty be levied on
trust-made goods sold in the world's
markets0 The burden of proof is upon
those who insist that such an adjunct of
public plunder is a necessary factor in
our administrative policy."
Tub franiers of the constitution of the
state of Oregon certainly never intended
that it would rotifer on the officials
composing the state administration the
authority to pocket exhorbitant Bala-
Ties. An honest interpretation of any
writton document is an investigation of
it with the object of discerning its au
thor's meaning and intention. No one
ill stoutly deny that our state officials
take their big salaries in defiance of the
wpirit of the constitution.
By the things it left undoue, the late
-congress bus demonstrated to the coun
try thut it was owned and controlled by
the trusts. It did nothing to relieve
Cuba. The anti-shoddy bill was smoth
ered in committee. It passed no meas
ure to relieve the pressure of the trusts
on the American people. The republi
can party had a large majority in both
liouses, and on that party rests the guilt.
How the republican voters can remain
loyal to a political party which is domi
nated by their enemies, the cormorant
millionaires, is ptiBt comprehension.
This luminous explanation of the
Mount Pulee disaster, by a colored
Vro'ieher, is proof to the most exacting
criticism, nt least from the view point of
the late lamented ltror. Jasper: "le
enrf, my fr'en's, resolves on axels, as we
all knows. Hum' fix' suah, am needed
to keep em axels gieaied, bo do good
I.awd, in His wisdom an' fo'night, put

then, my fr'en's dere am tru'.ible,"
New Zk.u.and, with n population of
ab jut three-fourths of a million, has a
national debt of $220,000,000, or about
$300 per capita. The average taxation
is about $100 per family. All of which
:goes to show that a socialist form of gov
ernment is an expensive luxuiy, yet
there is prosper tv in the island, "its
'foreign trade in l'.'CO amounted to .fL'3.-
:2ti57,5 ; rail way receipts all, or nearly j
an neionging to the government, toil,-
727,23(i, and frozen meats exjortedto
:20ii,t;2l,072 pounds. It needs no argu
iment to prove that the only way to es
'tabllsha socialist commonwealth is to
con locate monopoly properties. New
Xe.il.ind's experiment is preposterous.
It '.j .iIhm I i,:! the times.
Tub national debt under which France
staggers is, to a certain degree, due to
the corruption practiced by the great
capitalists. To find a remedy for the
financial stress and strain under which
the country labors is difficult.;. None
bat a Hercules could slay such monsters
as the great railway monopolies. The
state bore the expense of making the
railways In about the proportion of
four-fifths. The companies derive all
the profits. Opportunist sand plowers
gave them a guarantee of Interest that
costs France unbelievably great sums.
France also staggers under the incubus
of the tariffs made for the aristocrats of
the Cercie Agricole and the big manu
facturers and after milliards had been
spent in widening and deepening ports
and in creating docks large enough for
the commerce of the world.
Ex-Supbemb Judge Cahill, of Michi
gan, in a recent address said that an
election has become a useless expense
and trouble, and suggested that it is
easier to award the office to the highest
bidder, for that is what it jractically
amounts to; that politics is fast becom
ing a trade or occupation in which men
hire themselves out, as Hessians or
otLer mercenary soldiers were hired out
in old times to the man or cause who
would pay the higheBt price. These
last pander to the ambition and flatter
the vanity of the rich, and the rich man
now embarks in politics on the same
plan that he would embark in any other
enterprise, the first question being how
much capital is required to set up and
work the machinery. One of these pau
derers in politics said to Judge Cahill
not long ago, "Give me $50,000 and I
will control the nominations of any state
convention in Michigan in either party."
THE ELEPHANT'S LOAD.
The old republican elephant is going
into the fall compains carrying a ludi
crous load of the lame, the halt and the
blind.
He will carry on his back the Dingley
dervishes and the protective tariff that
BUDDortB the trusts and levies ten times
' more oppressive taxes upon the Ameri
1 can coneumer than it has gathered from
the customs duties paid by foreign goods
entering our ports. The schedule of the
cost of living to the humblest families

centages that are but measures of the
robberies perpetrated by republicanism
for the benefit of the protected and plu
tocratic classes. The party has stub
bornly refused to take off even unnec
essary taxes that are used now only for
purposes of criminal extortion.
The elephant carries the lame and
impotent conclusion ot the trust and
beet-sugar section of the party in the
case of Cuba. The Cuba that was freed
is left desolate and delivered over to in
dustrial poverty and political inanition.
And for this result the party demands
the approval of the humane and honor
able voters of the nation.
The surplus in the treasury has been
squandered, the ship subsidy advanced
half way to success, the civil service de
nuded of its integrity, and the bloody
shirt resurrected by partisans who at
last feel that their Bafety must be reach
ed through the revived passions of the
civil war rather than through the aspi
rations of new century patriotism.
A Poem on the Death of William
McKlnley.
The following excellent poem was com
posed by William Garduer, of New Era,
and we know Mr, Gardner's frier ds and
admirors will be pleased to see it in
print :
Our chief McKinley is dead and gone,
His work on earth is o'er.
lie's crossed the chilly stream of death
To yon ctlestial shore,
To dwell with them he loved on earth,
Who died for sinful men
And women, too, who loved the truth
And evil doth condemn.
No politicians will be there,
But those that tried and true,
And judging them by Holy Writ
I think there'll be but few.
Our chief was born of humble birth,
No blue blood in his veins,
Hut very soon he let them know
It waB not blood, but brains
That lifts a man to nobler deeds.
So humble be his lot,
But, O, how sad and yet how true,
Our President was shot.
His bod) 'a mouldering in the dust,
His s.irit gone above
KiU' from 'lieBO Bcenes of care and strife
To a life ot endless love.

A YOUNG LADY'S LIFE SAVED
At Panama, Columbia, by Chamberlain's
Colic, Cholera and Diarrhoea
Remedy.
Dr. Chae. H. Utter, a prominent phy
sician of Panama, Columbia, in a re
rent letter states: "Last March I hail as
a patient a young lady sixteen years of
age, who had a very bad attack ot dys
entery. Everything I prescribed for
her proved ineffectual and she was
growing worse every hour. Her par
ents were snre she would die. She had
become so weak that she could not turn
over in bed. What to do at this critical
moment was a study for me, but I
thought of Chttmberlain's Colic, Cholera
and Diarrhoea Remedy and as a last re
sort prescribed it. The moBt wonderful
result was effected. Within eight hours
she was much better; inside of three
days she was upon her feet and at
the end of one week was entirely cured."

CONGRESSMAN FITZPATRICK
Says Pe-ru-na is a Splendid Ca
tarrhal Tonic. .
Congressman T. Y. Fltzpatrlck.
Hon. T. Y. Fttzpatrick, Congressman
from Kentucky, writes from the Na
tional Hotel, Washington, D. C, as fol
lows :
"At the solicitation of a friend I used
your Peruna and can cheerfully recom
mend your remedy to anyone suffering
with catarrh or who needs a good
tonic." T. Y. FITZPATRICK.
A Good Tonlo.
Pe-ru-na is a natural and efficient
nerve tonic. It strengthens and re
stores the activity of every nerve in the
body.
Through the use of Pe-ru-na the
weakened or overworked nerves resume
their natural strength and the blood
vessels begin at once to regulate the
flow of blood according to nature's laws.
Congestions immediately disappear.
Catarrh Cured.
All phases of catarrh, acute or chronic,
are promptly and permanently cured.
It is through its operation upon the
nervous system that Pe-ru-na has at
tained such a world-wide reputation as a
sure and reliable remedy for all phases
of catarrh wherever located.
If you do not derive prompt and satis
factory results from the use of Peruna,
write at onco to Dr. Hartman, giving a
full statement of your case and he will
be pleased to give you his valuable ad
Vice free.
