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

about one mile below the town r
Blaekhawk, on the eastern slope, in
Colorado, and run in a northwesterly
direction until Middle Park is reached.
The point ot starting is a short distance
northwest of Denver. In a rich mineral
locality. 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

against the IMktin, Salem Statesman
and New Northwest, and asks that they
be suppressed . Of course Its hide Is
terribly luseerated; by tlie scourgings
given it by these journals; but were
deserved, and so long as it remains un
repentant, it will be compelled to take
these scourgings regularly.
