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 .
