OREGON CITY, NOV. 7. 1902. THE AFTERMATH. For a minority party which had been practically routed and driven from the field in 1896 and 1900, the democracy of the Nation made a very satisfactory Bhoing on last Tuesday. In evtry state in the Union they trade a decent manly fight for their ticket and their platform of princip'es. In the great states of the East they came up remark ably strong. New York with her two mill ion voters deciding the governor's con" test by a mere bagatelle of 10,000 votes. It indicates that once -more in the af fairs of this nation the d mocratic party is to be more than a minority party, It indicates more, that the democratic party when united is a splendid, magnificent and powerful political organization. Had it not been it would have been wrecked upon the shoals of political va garies and the rocks of many iama years ago. We are getting "our second wind ;" we are getting together, so to speak. Democrats and the people of the coun try at larire are coming more and more to the believe that the democratic party as a political organization is the friend of the individual common man. The "man who sweats and the man who toils" will find it his best political friend. This great pa.ty, with its hun dred years of hiHtnry behind it, is once more an united and powerful political organization, Ready, anxious and will ing to meet its common enemy on any field of political battle any day. We democrats should learn from the expe rienced of the last few years to abide at home a little longer. To have more faith in one another, and to always be true to the party and its creed. It is beter possibly that, we did not elect a majority of the house of congress. Let the opposition continue to control that body and every department of the fed eral government. Let them continue to bear the load l responsibility andan swer to the people for two years more for the iniquities of corporate rule, for the wasteful extravagance of public ex1 penditures, for the continual encroach merits of corporate wealth upon the rights of government. In the end the burden will get heavy, the great body of the common people will get tired, the right will prevail and democracy will triumph. AND WHAT OF THE FUTURE J If the lesson to be learned from the election of last Tuesday mean anything it means for the next ten years at least there are to be but two great political parties in this country, the Democratic and Republican. All third parties have been eliminated before the jury of public opinion. We predict that it will be many a long day before there are any others that will attract public attention or Le worthy of public approval. The Populists have paseed, ai Grovor Cleveland would sa, into "in ocuous desuetude." They themselves realize the fact that the party as a party is at an end. No Populist can ever be come a Republican; he may become a Democrat. Tuesday's election means that the political battles of the near fu ture will be fought out on broad party lines. The democratic party will stand for the common people, the individual citizen, as against plutocracy and com binations of capital, the home and home builders as against trusts and corpora tions. A revision of the tariff and a cheapening of living to the man who toils, as against a tarill' rate framed in the interest of capital and monopoly and a trust on every thing that enters into the home or life of the man of moderate means. It means that the man in the future who votes for a third party might just us well stay at home. It means that the common people ou one side, the farmers, agriculturists, the mechanics, and all men who earn their right to live "by the sweat of their faces," will ftio a plain and common issue. Shall the common people rule this great Ameri can republic, or sh .ill we degenerate into mi oligarchy of wealth controlled by cor porations and corporate wealth. The iseues will be clean cut, the parties will he aligned as two gieat armies, and it is jr each individual to say on which side of this question he will array himself. The platform of the democratic party will be broad enough and clean enough for all men to tUtui upon it. It will make no war on wealth or capital legiti mately acquired aud decently used. It will make uo war on any industry hon estly conducted for the jjiioj of all the people. It will ask for a returu to plain simple and honest government, and on that issue it ouht lo win. CLACKAMAS COUNTY. The com cf Clackamas is as big as the state of Rhode Island in acres aud territory. Rhcde Island has nearly one )ilt a million of people, Clackamas county has twenty five thousand. The land oi Clackamas county is as rich as the valley of the Nile, as productive as any of God's acres on this American continent. God Almighty never put any soil on the barren rocks of which the surface of Rhode Island is made. The state has become rich and great in spite of her inhospitable climate, bleak and barren soil, and storm swept coasts. This has been accomplished in many years by the indorn'table courage and restless energy of her people, old puritan stock, upon which years of adversity had grafted habits of frugality, thrift and economy. The climate of Clackamas county is salubrious to a remarkable degree. Beautiful summers with only heat enougl to mature the growing crops and ripening grain fields, no heat that is oppressive to man or beast, a winter mild, but wet, during which the earth is stored with water for the next seasons crop and harvest. Some day Clackamas county will be as densely populated and as rich in material wealth as the state of Rtiode Island! Her broad acres will be worth uncounted gold, her fields will blossom under the burden of each returning harvest, her waste land will all be under the highest system of agriculture, her many river water falls will be turning the wheels, of factories and mills and her products will go to all parts of the earth. And why not? The conditions are here to make such a future for such a county. Whether or not that condition will come within the life time of this generation depends largely upon the efforts of the citizens of Clackamas county to bring that end about. It may come within one or two decades, it may be deferred two or three generations. If every son and daughter of this garden of eden will put his or her shoulder to the wheel and at all times and places work for the ad vancement and in erest of the material resources and interest and exploitation of the counties advantages the time will come shortly when the wealth and op portunities of this land of promise will be known from one end of the country to the other, and the harvest of our ex pectations will then begin. LEWIS AND CLARK EXPOSITION. No matter of Legislation that is be fore the state of Oregon to day is of more vital interest to all of the people of the state than the proposed appropration of $500,000 in aid of the Lewis and Clark Exposition to be held at Portland in 1905. We are surprised that it should meet with opposition from any quarter. Nothing thai has been done by the Btate of Oregon in the past two decades to exploit her resources and advertise her wealth will have accomplished as much as this exposition in celebration of Lewis and Clark's discovery 'and ex ploration of this country one hundred years ago. More than one half million of people from all parts of the world will be brought by this exjosition to the garden spot of the Pacific coast. They will be largely people of means. While here they will look about them, Bee our resources, discover our native wealth, our beautiful farming land, our wonder ful timber resources, our mountains of minerals, all untouched and just as the good Lord made the. When these people go home they will advertise our state in all countries and will start a flow of imigration in this direction that will ere long build up the waste places and in a few years increase toa large ex tent oar material resources. It will only take a few years for this influx of new blood, and addition to our population to turn back into the Treasury in the way of taxes all of the money asked for from the state Treasury to make this venture a success. Clackamas county at that ex position sh mid be ably and accurately represented. Her native and acquired resources should be shown at their best, and out of all she should gather five thousand new people, twenty-five hundred new homes and a million of dollars in wealth. Then up with the flag boys and on with the work aud put Ore gon's best foot to the front. AN ABRAHAM LINCOLN REPUBLICAN. James Tracy one of the best known and one the most substantial farmers of this county was in to see the editor of the Cou.ier last week. He volunteered the fact that he was a Republican, an Abraham Lincoln Republican and not a M iro Hannah Republican. Good. There is some hope for a man when he is an Abraham Lincoln Republican. No clean- r manlier man every lived on this continent than Abrah . m Lincoln, Born iu Kentucky of obsecured and rugged ancestry, he lived to manhood among hardships, and trials, that developed all t int was good in his body and mind. He loved the common people, the common man. To compare him with Marc Hannah is odious. There is not and never was a single sentiment in common between the two men. Lincoln was generous toa fault, and kind as a woman. Marc llamia is an autocrat who rules with an iron hand and the dollar is his God. He would rather create a, trust that could wring money from the earn ings of thoee who toil, than to do one kindly act to the man ' of sweat and brawn. It is a "long cry" from an Abraham Lincoln Republican to a Marc Hannah Republican. There is hope for the former none for the latter. The Abraham Lincoln Republican will one of these days be where he belongs, fight ing the battles of the common people with the Democracy of the country. The Marc Hannah Republican will go to his grave deluded and beguiled, the nameless tool of an Iron master who would wreck the Republic in an hour for a pot of gold. THREE CITIES' LUMBER BUSINESS. While Seattle has 14 sawmills and Ta coma 12, to Portland's 11, and while the capital invested in Tacoma mills is re ported as mere than twice that invested in Portland, the cost of material used in the Portland mills is nearly 800,000 a year more than that used in either of the Sound cities, while the value of the products is also much larger, the figures given by the Pacific Lumber Trade Journal being as follows : Portland, $3, 539,268; Seattle, $2,695,778; Tacoma, $2,363,065. Portland has six sash and door factories, to five in Seattle and four in Tacoma, the value of the product here beirg also much larger than in either of those cities. Portland also has five wood-turning and carving plants, while there is none in either Sound city. Of furniture factories, Seattle has eightf Tacoma four and Portland seven, but again the value of products here is larg er than at Seattle, though scarcely equaling Tacoma's four The grand to tal ot these manufacturies gives Portland just ibout as much in value of the prod ucts as Seattle and Tacoma combined, which is quite out of proportion to the capital reported invested or the number of people employed, though it is to be remembered that valuations here for assessment purposes are lower than in those cities. Telegram . We noticed in the Roseburg Review of last week a slighting allusion to the fact that Hon. W. J. Bryan was enjoying Republican prosperity, that he had put in two mantels at his home near Lincoln that had cost him $2,500. No man who has lived in this country has made his money more honestly than William J. Bryan. In eight years he is said to have made a respectable fortune. He has done this by good honest labor His lectures have been a source of revenue since he established it and is yet making him good money. ' It is all right in Republican eyes for Mark Hanna, J. Pierpont Morgan, and Andrew Carniege to make their millions off the labor of the common people; but a crime for a Democratic apostle to be other than a beggar. Colonel Bryan will be loved by the common people of this country for years to come for his honest and manly fight for the right as he saw it. We are glad to know he is prosperous. Senator Turner,of Wasbington,showed hia strength in his home county, Spo kane, where, though it went republican otherwise by over 2000 majority, more than half the democratic candidates for the legislature were electtd. Washing" ton should be represented by a Republi can, of course, but that party will scarcely find a man of Turner's ability to succeed him. Telegram. Tug native Oregonian is happy. It has been raining incessantly for the last week. The streams are full of water and the rivers are rising and the mills have gone to work and the "vVeb-foot smiles" and is glad. The Oregonian "To the Manor bom" is never as happy as when it is raining and the harder it rains the broader his smile. President Roosevelt's home town aud precinct went democratic yester day ; his vote counted no more than that of Mike or Hans. Telegram. "The country is governed best that is governed least," is an old democratic doctrine. It was never truer in the past than it is today .
