year, ISikViiil, $.i;,ti;ii.:.
This shows a steady decrease in the ex.
penscsof the county since issh, tintwith-
standing (he woiulcrlul increase in litigation
and circuit court expenses within the pan
four. wars, ami In fact) of the fuel tlint hind
and property values have decreased In an
appreciable extent. The extraoidinary
large ainouut of warrants drawn lor the
fiscal year ending July 1st, lStW, $J,:i;i!l Si,
is accounted for Ironi the fact thai U,l)u
was expended in present ownership hooks,
which have almost paid lor the outlay, in
finding properly thai had herelolore escaped
assessment, and flT.OHO was appropriated
for expensive but necessary hrid.'e. that
had been washed away by the Hoods New
bridges were erected on the Sandy, Clacka
mas, Tualatin and various oilier smaller
streams, all of which materially aided to
swell the expenditures fur that year It will
be observed that the amount of warrants i
sued for the year 5, were about M,iW
less than for the ,irevious year, and for the
present year ending July I, MCi, making
due allowance lor a lengthy term of circuit
court, the amount of warrants draw n will
be at least li.rtM less than last year
These figures show that the expenditures
of the county are decreasing, notwithstand
ing the heavy circuit court expenses The'
principal I'em oi ex pense of ( lie county is
litigation among its residents, which seems
to be increasing out of prnortioii to the In
come from the lax levy.
Another item of expense is roads and
bridges, the diversified surlace of Clackamas
county and numerous streams, rendering
much needed improvements in this line,
necessarily expensive. From July I, Xitrl
to January 1, isi, $27,8l'l 01 was appro
priated oueof the county fund for building
bridges; during this same Kriod fPUTl l
was expended inroad improvements;
I'.Di.ii) was paid for road material, and
12,0(0.35 was paid to road viewers and fur
road surveys These amounts were paid
out of the county fund, exclusive of the
special road tax, and nearly all this money
was paid out to laborers, (the majority of
them resident farmers), esiiecially that used
in road improvements This money ex
pended for road improvements and bridges,
goes into the pockets of the people who pay
taxes, and increases the value of their larins
It is not money uselessly expended, as
roads and bridges are an absolute necessity
On account of the financial stringency dur
ing the past three or lour years, the support
of the county paupers baa been no small
item. With the lengthy dockets of civil
and criminal actions in the circuit court,
road and pauper expenses, the county
authorities have exhibited good business
management in materially reducing the ex
penditures as shown in the figures above
given.
The net indebtedness of the county, as
shown in the semi-annual statement made
March 31st, lSi, is 11.510 Si, a remarkable
good showing for the third county in the
state in point of wealth and population.
when compared with the financial condi
tion of other counties in the state The
semi-annual statements of the county offi
cials of the majority of the counties in the
state of Oregon, include the court bouse and
other property owned by ihe county in their
account resources, but it will be noticed
that the financial statement published in
last week's KgTiaraisL, did not include
public property If the court house and
other public properly bad been included in
the resources of this exhibit, the fact would
have been shown that Clackamas county
was virtually out of debt

01'R FINANCES.
Absolutely false and vilifying statements
are being spread abroad by the populists of
Clackamas county for the avowed purpose
of misleading the ptople and to induce them
to cast their votes for the candidates of that
party at the coming June election. The
favorite method of proceed u re seems to be
in distorting the condition of the county's
finances in an ingenious way that would
lead the unthinking voter to believe that
the indebtedness of Clackamas county was
piling up at a fearful rate. But it does not
require an X ray machine to see through
all this rant and buncorne, aa sworn official
statements and figures speak for them
selves. Following Is the amonnt of war
ranU drawn by the county clerk of Clacks
in a county for the past teven years, esti
mated at the end of each fiscal year on Jnly
Jst: 1888-89, $,CM.25; 1889-90, $37,327.57;
Facts and figures shew beyond doubt that
the matter of tariff ami protection is of par
amount importance to the people of this
country. It is absolutely certain that there
must be a change in the tariff policy of the
government, and that soon, or the entire
country, individually and collectively, will
be bankrupt and the nation involved in
ruin. The eflects of the Wilson bill have
been sweeping and disastrous. This is no
idle campaign song. The hard, cold facts
are staring us in the face in Clackamas
county, as well as in the rest of the United
States. The calamity howlers, who are no
doubt honest in their convictions, like
drowning men grasping at straws, are led
by demagogic leaders who care nothing for
the masses of the people more than their
votes that they may be lifted into position
and power. These people are howling
about finance. They know as much about
finance as a yellow dog does about politics.
When once the Wilson bill is repealed, and
the affairs of the government are conducted
along the lines of a policy that will protect
the laborers ami farmers ol the country,
then, and not till then, will we enjoy the
prosperity to which we are entitled as a na
tion. These facts have been demonstrated
by the policy of the government at different
periods since the days of Washington in
such a way that a blind man could not be
deceived thereby. It is the only true patri
otic policy for the American people pro
tection to their homes and industries. While
it is well to have a sound system of finance
that will not discriminate in favor of the
moneyed classes again! the bone and sinew
of the country, it is of the utmost import
ance that we have immediate relief for the
drooping industries of the country. Our
country is Hooded with foreign manufac
itireo goons ami foreign agricultural pro
ducts, while American factories are idle, la
borers are out of employuieu!, and the
farmer cannot dispose of his surplus pro
ducts. Such a policy as this would wreck
the most stable monarchy of Europe. To
allow the country to remain in such a con
dition is a crime for which the masses of
the people should be held responsible. It
Is as impossible to have prosperity under a
free trade policy as it is for water to run up
hill.
Is L L Porter the people of Clackamas
county will have a representative that will
be above reproach His honor and Integ
rity are such that be will not countenance
or mix in any questionable deal or transac
tions such as frequently come up in legisla
tive halls He can be depended on lo work
and vole for economy in all public expendi
tures, and to give to the people of Oregon
that relief from the heavy burdens of use
less commissions ami kindred leeches on the
public treasury that is demanded
. Jcooc North hup, the Oregonian's candi
date for congress in the second district
against W. R. Ellis, the regular republican
nominee, stands no show of getting elected,
but he will probably accomplish the pur
pose for which Harvey Scott brought him
out, that of electing Martin Quinn, the
bowling populist agitator of Portland, to
represent that district in the next congress.
Al l. the various candidates on the repub
lican, democratic and populist tickets in
Clackamas county, including the candidates
fur justice of Ihe peace and constable, have
tiled their acceptances with the county
clerk, as required by statute Silas II
Smith, of Astoria, the populist nominee for
prosecuting attorney of this district, sent In
his acceptance to the county clerk with the
request that his lirst name, Silas, he printed
in full on the election ballots After elec
tion his name will be Dennis, insteud of Si
las. Not with standi Mo the fact that II L
Kelly assured the members of the late dem
ocratic county convention that the Lord
was with them in the light, and was induced
to accept the nomination for county treas
urer, he is no longeron the ticket B 8
Bellomy has been placed on the ticket by
the county central committee, anil has filed
bis acceptance with the county clerk. Mr.
Kelly has evidently lost faith, or else he
thinks that the Lord has forsuken the party .
Is spite of all that the "favorite sons"
can do, it looks as (hough McKinley's nom
ination will be made unanimous on the first
ballot. Cullom, of Illinois, was snowed
under in the state convention last week,
and a McKiuley delegation chosen for Ht
Louis. California endorsed McKinley this
week, and nearly every other convention,

The rule or ruin policy has. In Multno
mnb county, dictated the candidacy of II.
II. Nnrthup for congressman in the second
district, against the regularly ami honestly
n 'initiated candidate on Ihe republican
ticket. The same spirit that dictated this

bringing out Norlhup as an Independent
