Farmers of the Pacific coast are
not favorable to the bringing back of
cheap Chinese labor.
Labor on the farm is too cheap
now. We farmers work so cheap
that we cannot pay interest and live
like American people should.

The science of credit or money is
not understood by farmers. Farm
ers do not think on these lines as a
rule. A few farmers understand the
fundamental principles of credit as
well as our leading bankers. Money
or credit as- issued by law is worth
what the law says it is worth and
no more and no less. We have too
many laws giving to each separate
values. Just how much money to
have in circulation no one knows. Just
how much is in circulation no one
knows. Our legal tender laws are a
puzzle for reasons best known to
bankers. The system is so unsatis
factory to a great many that Con
gress has discussed the advisability
of changing the whole entire system.
Some have advocated making our
money a sort of labor check on what
is produced by labor and taking away
its power to draw interest except to
ihe government.
Brother Robert Schuebel tells us
that he has not used a gun or even
threatened to use one yet but he has
taken a stand for "direct action" if
justice is imposed on too much.

Oregon could have been the first
state in the Union to federate the

let Kansas score first. How long are
we to be working in three different

lere in Oregon the farmer and
others are taxed for our agricultural
college enough every year to build a
power plant or salmon cannery. And
on top of that we are taxed by law to
buy spray dope for San Jobb scale in
our orchards to raise 60 cent apples.
The teachers of our college tells
us to get a Baume hydrometer to pre
vent the drug trust from skinning us
with poor dope.
Over in Pennsylvania there Is an
Insect that eats San Jose scale and
keeps the orchards clean free of
charge, which is much cheaper than
Chinese blaor.
Farmers think the Department of
Agriculture is for the benefit of
farmers. We once thought the same
thing. We know better now. Our
present Secretary says it is for the
consumer and general public and only
to aid the farmer to increased pro
duction. Increased production under
our present system of marketing is
a loss to the famrers. We notice in
a primary civil government used in
our schools, page 194, referring to
the Department of Agriculture, says
"The national government is attemp
ting to help the farmers in making
their work more profitable."
Our Agricultural Department now
spends 20 million and should be for
the benefit of agriculture and will be
when farmers organize and demand
it. We do not like to be taxed to
maintain an institution to benefit
others. Our Treasury Department is
run in the interest of bankers, who
borrow our money at 2 percent and
loan it to us for as much as the traf
fic will bear. Farmers themselves
are to blame for not organizing soon
er and patronizing such papers as are
printed in the interests or agricultur
ists. On the 2Cth last. Brother C. E,
Spence was nominated for the legis
lature by the "dry" convention of
Clackamas County, composed of del
egates from the W. C. T. U., church
es, farmers' organizations, and pro
hibitionists. Brother Spence was
such a favorite that the delegates in
their enthusiasm developed signs of a
general stampede. It bids well for
Oregon when this county is bo ably
represented by an agriculturist.
Brother C. E. Spence has for the
third time been elected Master of the

An old adage says "a dollar saved
is a dollar made." How would you
like to have a car load of silver dol
lars to spend? How would you like
to have eight or nine car loads to
spend every day ? That is what Un
cle Sam spends. We farmers get no
benefit whatever from this. We pay
for our post office privileges when
we buy stamps. Our state taxes pay
for schools. Will some one vigorous
ly deny this and furniBh a little proof
with their manuscript? Show your
patriotism.
We give space this week to the so
cial creed of our churches. Equity
members will be interested after
reding it if not before. It is not well
enough known that our churches have
a social creed so simple, so human,
so universally good. Thirty-two de
nominations have subscribed to this
creed. We also wish to catch the eye
of organized labor, which thinks the
churches are in league with their
oppressors, to this bow of promise.

OMNISCENCE
On account of a deplorable typo
graphical error an article which ap
peared in our issue of June 4 entitled
"Tillage" was credited to E. C. Dye,
an Oregon City attorney, instead of
C. I. Lewis, it's rightful father (ac
cording to a communication from Ja
cob Kesler.
As Mr. Dye has no great reputa
tion as an agriculturist and probably
would not know how to milk a cow
or hoe beans, (and, more probably,
would not do so. if he did know how J
the humor of the situation appealed
to the Equity editor, Mr. Meredith.
He therefore took the opportunity to
refer to Mr. Dye rather sarcastically
as a "Main Street Farmer." At this
point Jacob Kesler takes up the cud
gel for his lawyer friend and tells the
Equity writer a few plain facts In
the following letter.
Editor Courier:
Since time began there have been
men who professed otmniscence in
their respective lines. There-was
nothing in religion, science, law, med
cine, art or finance that they did not
know. There was nothing in any
thing that they had not bottled up
corked up tieht. In the years past
tne penalty ior disbelieving these fel
lows was even as high as death. '
To a great degree this spirit exists
to this day. You can find many a
doctor that would rather see his pa
tient die than to have Bome non-de-script
fellow tell him that he does
not know his business, and many a
lawyer would be glad to lose a case
rather than have some "country
jake" tell him he doesn't know all
things. ,

The Courier likes to hear from its
women readers upon subjects which
are of interest in a political way.
Usually those who write show a re
markable talent for getting at the
truth and telling it in a logical way.
We are inclined to think that the wo
men of Oregon are fully equal if not
superior to their husbands and broth
ers in political sagacity in spite of
their limited experience.
Woman suffrage is still in the ex
perimental stage in Oregon and the
ladies should exert themselves to
make it a success. There are politi
cal reforms which the majority of
Oregon women would like to see ac
complished and among these is the
abolition of the liquor business. Every
woman who has the good of her chil
dren at heart should do what she can
for the cause and write us a letter
(if only a few words) for publication.
It is going to be a glorious fight,
and we hope and trust the ladies will
win it. We are sure they can do
so if they will try hard enough. Our
columns are at your service.
Now read the following letter from
Mrs. Waldron, and then write us one
yourself.
I have read in the Weekly Ore
gonian several reports of hop growers
meetings and the attitude they and
others are taking in regard to pro
hibition. They are organizing, pro
testing and making quite a to-do
about saving the hop industry; in
fact overdrawing the situation. They
claim prohibition in Oregon will kill
the hop industry, and in the next
paragraph they say the hop industry
T .1 i : ; -i i ii.. TT.-i.j
a life of more shame than did the ne
gro slave of old, and more pitiful if
possible is the effect on the family re
lations. Always need of moral sup
port and often need of financial sup
port. It would take pages to enumer
ate the different phases of suffering
that follow in the wake of a drinker.
Why should we as a nation allow
such condition?
The hop men, the brewer, the dis
tilled, the dealers and all connected
with the business would find a nw
channel and other occupations and
like the slave holder of old will ad
just hemselves and find a way to live
like the rest of us.
At the hopgrowers meeting at Eu
gene, Mrs. M. J. Tibleta, was reported
to have said that she had raised a
family of two girls and four boys and
none of them had been harmed by the
hop industry, which she has partici
pated in for a quarter of a century. I
have a husband and we have raised
a small family, the youngest past
thirty, and liquor of any kind has
"never harmed one of them in the least
but I have seen it touch other lives
with a withering blight. The plague
of drink takes in all degrees of trou
ble, from slight discord to the parting
of family ties, wrecking of homes and
lending a hand in most of our trage
dies. It is not such as Mrs. Tibletts or
my families that netd prohibition,
but prohibition IS needed to curb the
men who have got the habit and
can't govern themselves, and to pre
vent the young from coming in con
tact with such blighting influences be
fore they are old enough to know the
danger.
There is plenty of women who are
broken hearted and broken in spirit
who need the prohibition to protect
their interests, and the little children
who are robbed of their birth-right
by strong drink who is there that is
so wrapped in their own selfish in
terests that they fail to see and feel
the crying need of the women and
children who are associated with the
curse of strong drink?. ,

They cost nearly as much in the beginning and far
more in the long run, or short run, either, for that
matter. The Blizzard is a practical machine. It com-
pines Knives, Ian and fly wheel instead of using these
as separate units, thereby saving power
and making a more compact cutter. It
elevates without fail into the tallest silo.
It cuts the material with a sheer cut,
does not crush it. The Blizzard is re

Gentlemen; We have used your Bliz
zard ensilage cutter the past season and
find them a very satisfactory machine
in every way. We put up over 600 tons
of corn and had no trouble cutting from
50 to 55 tons per day and elevating it
to a height of 32 feet, using an L-15 ma
chine. We consider them the best ma
chine made for the purpose. We also
used it to cut alfalfa and clover hay
fed to sheep and cattle at our yards this
Winter, and it handled the work in good
shape.

The length of the roll of men, great

ful. There is absolutely no question
that if all men would have their
minds open, the world would be just
about twice as far ahead as it is now.

is absolutely endless.
And it is increasing in length.
States and the whole world is de
manding Oregon hops. In that case
they do not have to rely on a home
market.
Now is it not true that the larger
part of one hop crop of Oregon is
sold and shipped to other states and
to Europe for manufacturing? If
prohibition should come in Oregon
there would still remain a market for
hops, if in time the demand for hops
should cease the grower would yet
nave his land left on which he could
raise hay, grain and stbek, and make
cheaper meat and food for the poor
people, then they will not miss the
few hard earned dollars they got
picking flops to help them eek out a
livelihood.
Then the man who has been rais
ing hops may not make quite as much
money in the change of the product
of his farm, but he will have the sa
tisfaction of doing good instead of
aiding in the debauchery of our coun
try. ,
Of course all fair minded citizens
which has been for so many years
feels deeply regretful for hop raisers
and all those who are engaged in the
manipulation of the liquor product,
considered legitimate business, but
not one of them can plead ignorance
of the situation as the liquor traffic
has been growing in disfavor for
many years, prohibition has been ad
vancing and there is no excuse for
not being prepared and accepting it
as an inevitable result.
This liouor problem forms a nara-
lllel case to the slave situation that
precipitated the Civil war. Slavery
was a many sided evil. A growing
disgrace to America, yet there were
many who had invested their all in
slaves and defended It as a business,
ignoring the bitter wrongs and in
justice it encompassed.
Yi here would our country be todav
if slavery had not been abolished?

How Mrs. Hurley Was Re
stored to Health by Lydia
E. Pinkham's Vegetable
Compound.
Eldon, Mo. "I was troubled with
displacement inflammation and femaU
weakness. For two
yearB I could not
stand on my feel
long at a time and 1
could not walk two
blocks without en
during cutting and
drawing pains down
my right side which
increased every
month. I have been
at that time purple
in the face and would
walk the floor. I could not lie down or
sit still sometimes for a day and a night
at a time. I was nervous, and had very
little appetite, no ambition, melancholy,
and often felt as though I had not
friend in the world. After I had tried
most every female remedy without suc
cess, my mother-in-law advised me to
take Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable
Compound. I did so and gained in
strength every day. I have now no trou
ble in any way and highly praise your
medicine. It advertises itself. ' 'Mrs.
S. T. Hurley, Eldon, Missouri.
