The Director ot the Mint says the present supply of gold coin and bullion in the country is $600,000,000. A factory with facilties for making 100,000 wooden dishes per day is to be erected in Chattanooga, Tenn. It is aafe to say that when Bismarck dies,Congress will not send any condol ence resolutions te the Reichstag. Many North Carolina farmers in the country surrounding Goldsboro intend to plant peanuts extensively this spring. The cotton mills of South Carolina employ 4,500 persons, and the value of the product is placed at $6,000,800. If McGarrahan doesn't quit presen ting his everlasting "claim," somebody will one of these days be inquiring what it is all about. Three men were sold at public auc tion in Connecticut the other day. They Were white men, however, and it can net be called a Southern outrage. The Republican leaders regard the blood r shirt as their forlorn hope. If they fail te materialize that issue, it is all up with the grand old party. In a new life of John Howard Payne, written by Charles H. Brain- m mm ard, it is denied that the poet was in needy circumstances when he wrote "Heme, Sweet Heme." A London publishing house has pub lished one of the SpurgeoVs sermons every week.

Arthur will see te it that the Fed eral offices will be generously distribu ted in the South. The Southern dele gations are a good thing to bave in Con vention. J. W. Neil ef Jacksonville and C. A. Ceggswell ef Lakeview are spoken of as candidates on the Democratic ticket for Judge of the First Judicial Dis trict. Mrs. Haves is doing splendidly with her poultry yard, in which she natural- ly takes gre&t pride. Her husband's chickens regularly eome home to roost.

It was high time, says the A tnericmi Register, for tho Democratic party in Congress to call a halt in the long his tory of land robbery which this country has been called upon to witness. When the course of empire began its march westward, the American Union owned millions ef acres of arable land, and there was rich provision for all who might want to cultivate the soil, and !er a hundred years to come, tho poopb could contemplate this splendid domain as their own inheritance, and be sure of a home, if the struggle of life in the cities became too great. This was the prospect when tha Republican party came into power ; but where is this vast inheritance now ? Is it still the property of the people of the United States 1 Yes, abet remains of it it, but tho grasp of monopoly and political speculation has cut this grand heritage of a free people into fragments, and now holds perhaps the largest and best part of it for purely speculative purpo ses. The robbery of the public lands of the United States is the greatest piece of political villainy which has ever cursed this country, and this alone should drive out of power the political party which aided and abetted it. It has often been denounced in the press and upon the stump, but the enormity ef the steal and the magnitude of the wrong has rarely ever been properly made known to the people. We all know in a general way that our lands have been stolen from us by one device and another. But the amount of this robbery and the wealth it represents, is not known. And the worst of it all, is, that this land is bsing accumulated in the bands of foreign capitalists, who have no interest whatever in this peo ple, except tho money which can be made out of their investments. Of late this greed and rapacity upon the part of railroads and capitalists has became so great, that well-grounded alarm is felt, and this has taken shape in appeals to Congress to check the iniquitous system under which these robberies have become possible. In order to show where our land has gone to, into whose hands it has fallen the following partial list may be ef interest : Acres. Th Holland Land Cobkm, ot Sew Mcxt i.SOO.ooO An Kn-!iab vodR .te.

TUB UtlWOt KA4 0)r LI. The Democracy of Lion are in move harmonious condition thsn they have been fer many years. There will not be that bitter strife between rival can didates and their friends wbioh,at times, baa heretofore existed. From the man ner in which the candidates seem to be conducting the campaign, wo infer that all have determined to use suoh honor able means as are at band to secure a nomination, and if they fail, they will cheerfully yield to the voioo of the party as expressed in the convention, end then join in with their successful com petitors to secure the election of the ticket. This is honorable. This is praiseworthy. No man should offer himself to a convention for a nomination, if he he not willing to abide the action of the. convention fairly expressed. We are satisfied that all candidates now before the people will pursue this course. The Democracy ef Linn county deserve well of the people, both Repub lican and Democratic. For eighteen years, (except one term,) they have managed the financial affairs of the county in such manner as to call out and challenge the approval of the entire body of the people. True, they have now and then made some mistakes, but they have been errors of judgment,anch as all parlies are liable to make. We can form a correct estimate as to how well the Democrats have kept their promises to the people. It wilt bo re membered tbst Marion ceonty has been under Republican rule for the net twenty-five years. From 1870 to 1880 Marion county raised foe county pur- poses alone f 200. OOO more than L,inn county. During th.a period the popu- lation of the two counties was about equal, aal tbo taxable proporty about the same. The geographical extent of Linn Is nearly twice as groat as that 0f Marion, and bene her expense for ' ' reads aJ bridges would necessarily be bridges would oeoeasarily Btl&afcr as fair and reliable in its treat- Jjrtr But notwithstanding alt this U tOOfc SJU.UUO a year more to keep 00Unljr ' IWDIMnt ranln than it did in Linn. It is tbi OSreful and judicious management of county affairs that has snsbled the Democrat to retain control 01 county msDtjemeut almost uninterruptedly lor the last etgoteen years on a a . small msjerily. Let careful men be selected to admin- inter the affairs of the county and the party will meet rith no difficulty in electing them.

There will bo a terrific struggle in the Republican State Convention over the nomination of a candidate for Con gress. It will be between the weak anti-monopoly element and the monop oly element of the party. The Porta land delegation will load tho monopoly element, and will bo followed by the delegations in whole or in part, from Clatsop, Columbia, Tillamook, Wasco, Umatilla, Union, Baker, Grant, Doug las, Jaokson, Josephine, Coos, Garry Lake, Klamath and Crook counties' The anti-monopoly element will be led' by the delegation from Marion, sup ported in whole or in part by the del gations from Linn, Lane, Benton, Polk, Yamhill, Clackamas and Washington. Multnomah will support no man for Congress who is not in full sympathy with tho money and capital power as against tha people. This sentiment in favor of the money power baa been lowing active warfare against the people by its opposition te the mort gage tax law, which opposition haa cul minated in a droUion in the United States Circuit Court declaring tho law void. The Republican party of the state, like the party in tho nation, is in the complete control ot corporations and the money power, and we warn Repub licans who have boon talking about the party breaking loose ftom the control of these corporations that they are doomed to disappointment. The party is power leas to break loose from these influences, and the only way for those republicans to pursue who believe the people should rule instead of the corpo rate and money power, is to break lots from that party and aupport that party which dares to oppose and thwart the greedy graapings of those who would make slaves of tbo people STKAXCB MiftnErnnassTioa The Weston leader asys : "TSe Portland Standard, the Albany DsJo - out, snd other democratic journals are just now turning their politics to fioan eial account by frantic appeals for iUpport from the party men on the ground of their dUintereatod love ofl l0s grand old party, and their undying devotion to the diaaemiostioo of it principles."

Tbe working, of tbe tariff were fully demon.trated by Hon. Wm. M. Snrinc-1 or in a speech at Brooklin a few night. ago.

The fine grade which only the rich can afford, are tax - I ed 58 percent. Silks pay 60 per cent. heap woolen dress goods are taxed 90 per cent, while fine goods beyond the reach of the poor are taxed only 43 per cent These goods before tho wsr were taxed 10 percent. "If tbo transatlantic steamers form ed a monopoly and put up freight to fifty per cunt ad valorem on all importations thorn would be a btrwl, yet that would protect the American manufacturer from competition as much as does the 60 per cent tariff ? Why cheapen freight If tho tariff is to bo raised?
