ALBANY REGISTER. JU tog if ista. IT. 8. Official Paper tor Orciron. SATURDAY, OCTOBER 4. 1873. Republican Candidate. FOR COKGMSB, HIRAM SMITH, OP MSN. Raiijjoai) Land Grants. The people of Yamhill and Polk counties want an extension of the west side road Hiram Smith, the Republican nominee, is in tavor of such extension, and will work to accomplish it if elect ed. Tbe iwople of Eastern Oregon are urging the necessity of building the the Portland. Dalles & Salt Lake Railroad Hiram Smith, backed by tin ' Republican party of the State, is in ! favor of building, at the earliest possl- i ble moment, said railway, and will urge with all his power the granting j of land to aid Its construction. The Democratic party, through its plat form, declares its opposition to 'grants of land' to aid in the construction of railroads and Xesmith, should he un fortunately for the true interests ot Oregon, be elected, will be compelled to labor against such granting of lands in carrying out the declared policy of his party, will le compelled to work against the true interests of Ore gon. If the people want aid from the General Government in building rail raids or other public works they will show it by voting for niram Smith. - - Both by the same Pens. The leading editorial in the Ongonian fol lowing the quotation of extracts from the letter of Rev. ft. R. Geary. Which was dated September 10th, 1873, and the leader in the Albany Democrat of Friday of last week, entitled "'Mr. Geary and the Hippie Resolution," were evidently written by the same person and that person was not M. V. Brown, but a resident of Linn county, now acting with the Democ racy. The resemblance is so striking that we think we cannot be mistaken. There is no objection to this on our part; we only call attention to it as showing that a whilom Republican journal is now run entirely by Demo cratic braius, and will soon be com pelled to look for support and patron age to the Democratic party alone. A Journal that has acted the dastardly part of tbe Oregonian, may not expect to receive the suprort of the party it Is attempting to destroy. A Straw. The visit of Victor Emanuel, King ot Italy, to the capitol of the German Empire, hints strongly of the formation of an Italo-German alliance against France, who is still looked upon as a formidable enemy by both nations. France is directing all her energies to organizing and per tecting her army, and in a short time, to successful has she been, will be in. a position to cope with any power in Kuroie. Germany knows this, and thinks of Alsace and Lorraine; Italy takes note of it and remembers Pio Nono. Germany and Italy, for the first time in the history of the world, have common interests now Bis marck was as hard on the 'hurch of Home as Victor Emanuel. In ease ol a war with France, it can hardly be doubted that they would make com mon cause. If war does come, it will be the most colossal struggle tlte world has yet witnessed. Favorable for Hi. Reports from East of the mountains are to the effect that Nesmith's vote will be less by at least one thousand, and probably more than that, than the vote for Burnett last year, while tbe vote for Hiram Smith will be largely increased. This accounts lor tbe terrific whooping and yelling constantly kept up by the bolt lug and Democratic organs they are In the woods, and are simply yelling to keep up their courage. Washington Couxrr Pais Wlitch commenced on Monday, was largely attended. The show of thoroughbred cattle was very attractive, being doubtless the very best breeds in Ore gon. The weather was nne, and the prospects are that the Fair came out Ahead. Interesting Wheat Facta. We glean the following facts In rela tion to the present demand and supply of wheat which will prove interesting to all our renders at this time. Accord ing to the most reliable statisticians of the United Kingdom, that country requires, for the current year com mencing September 1st, 92,000,000 bushels of wheat, or only some 7,500, 000 bushels less than imported last year. France is also in the market, demanding, say, (10,000,000 bushels although authorities vary in their esti mates of the deficiency in France, put ting it at 50.000,000 to 82,000,000 bush els. The deficiencies In Spain, Italy and Germany are put down at the lowest as 30,000,000 bushels, while it is not yet an ascertained fact that Aus tria and Hungary will not be com pelled to import wheat to make good the deficiencies of the present season's crops. If these estimates are true, Continental Europe will require more than 300,000,000 bushels of wheat this year, or twice as much as demanded last year. Judging from the confi dence displayed by exporters in the United States and importers In Europe in maintaining the present high quota tions for wheat, it would appear as though the figures above given were taken as under estimating the real de mands and actual deficit of Europe. The decreased production of corn in the United States, and the extremely short rye and potato crops of Europe, will have a tendency to still further increase the 'value of wheat, as well as all other food supplies which may be used as a substitute. The total yield of the wheat crop of the United States for 1873, as estimat ed by the Department of Agriculture, is put uown at 2ou,wu.uuu bushels, or but little more than sufficient to meet the deficiency of Europe. T,ast year Russia and the United States mainly supplied the wheat deficiency of Eu rope. Russia generally has a large Surplus of wheat 1 for export, and though not yet positively known, it is reported that her harvests are very fa vorable, and she mav therefore be ex pected to liave a surplus of wheat for exort. If the wheat supply oaside of the countries mentioned is no larger tlum that of last year, then it is not unreasonable to expect that prices for wheat will rule higher in the United States before Spring, than at present obtain. But, as is truly remarked by an Eastern paper, -'it other countries should be able to increase their sup plies to a corresponding exient with the United States, the probabilities are that the present year's experience will confirm the theory of the English economists that the world's supply of breadstuff's is always equal to the de mand. But this involves a draining' of the surpluses of the whole world to an extent never before attempted, and which could only be possible under the wonderful developments of modern civilization. All the rolling Stock of all the railroads in the world and all the inland and ocean tonnage of the nations will be required to move and distribute the prodigious quantity of grain now beginning to rtovv from so many sources to Great Britain and Continental Europe. If there is too much wheat In the world this is a good time to establish the fact, and if any people have more breadstuff's than they require they can now make money by sending it promptly to market. The -Lane Demochacv" Of Doug las county, propose now to pay Nes mith, In his own coin, for bis efforts to "crush the Lane Democracy'' in 1802. No wonder Nez. finds the eonvass a hard one; and his com plaints of delates will grow more fre quent and will be longer protracted as the day of election approaclies. Finished to Tacoma.

The tunnel will be twelve miles in length, and it is expected will cut many rich veins of gold and silver, thus opening a vast mining interest. The Sierra Mad re Tunnel Company has already been organized lot this purpose. The money for carrying out the enterprise is to be furnished by English capitalists. QtERY. If the late "back pay steal" was shameful and iniquitous" a steal perpetrated when the finances of the country were in excellent condi tion, and the debt of the country greatly reduced how much more 'shameful and iniquitous" would be the act of voting "back pay" when the finances of the country were disorder ed, greenbacks worth nut little more than half their face, and the country groaning under a fearful aud burden some debt? The Democracy in Con vention assembled pronounces the back pay steal of the last Congress as 'shameful and iniquitous," and yet this Convention places in nomination as its candidate for Congress, J. W. Nesmith, the man who in 1800, when the country was struggling under a burden of debt hardly equalled in the history of the world, taxes exhorbitant, and business of all kinds prostrate, voted for an act increasing his pay from 13.000 to $5. 000a year, and mile age at a much higher rate than the late act. Now the question to be de cided is, does not the fifth plank of the Democratic platform condemn J. W. Nesmith, and are not Democrats au thorized by that plank to vote agfdnst him? Apologized to the wkono Ani mal. Mart. Brown asserts that Dr. Geary, met him at Conner's Bank and called him a "dirty dog," but after wards apologized. Brown must be mistaken, about the apology being made to him, for, as every reasonable person in the community will agree, in the light of the last Issue of the Demwitt, if an apology was due from the Dr., it certainly should have been offered the other animal. Whatcom county, VV. T., according to the report of the Secretary of the County Fair, has' thousands of acres of laud which will pr oduce 30 to 100 bushels of grain, or three tons of hay, or .100 to 500 bushels of potatoes to the acre, Within the county are thou sands of acres of timber, inexhaustible coal mines. Islands of limestone, ex tensive quarries of flue sandstone and unlimited means of water communica tion. Salmon, halibut, herring, clams, muscles, oysters, In abundauce. And they don't care about the "termi nus." The Oregonian cries out bitterly against the IMktin, Salem Statesman and New Northwest, and asks that they be suppressed .
