Inst., and he made the principal speech of
the evening. The Jitforur tava that thla
speech mirrpreented the Industrial hla.
tor of the nation, and that It waa partisan
and unsUtcimanlike, Mr McKinley said,
for example, that the fourteen years of
low tariff from i&6 to tSCi were years of
depression and distress In manufacturing
The Crforter tay s that the president of the
Amoakeag Mills, who waa present at thla
banquet, could have told Mr McKlnljr
that in 1S46 the Amoskeag declared divi
dends of 25 per cent In stock and 10 pe
cent In cash, In 1S47 it declared 35 pe
cent In stock 5 per cent In cash, and In
1S49 It declared ao per cent in stock and J
per cent in osh, and there were but few
half year from that time to 1S00 In which
It did not par semi-annual dividends. Al
so that the following great textile mills
were ttarted between 1S46 and 1S61 :
"Atlantic milts In 1S49; Lyman mills
at Ilolyoke, In 1854 ; Naumkeag Steam
Cotton mills, at Salem, In 1S47: Tepperell
mills, at Blddcford.in 1S53; Dates mills,
Lewlston, In 1851; Hill Manufacturing
mills, at Lcwiston, In 1855; Franklin
' Company, at lewlston, In 1I57."
But the unktndest cut of all is the AV-
fotfers's mention of the fact that the cotton
ndustry has been in a worse plight since
the McKInUy tariff bill passed than it was
before. Here la what It says en this par
ticular subject:
Furthtrmore, the cotton manufacture
lag Industry of the Vnlted States has not
chanced to be as prosperous since the pas
sage, of the McKinley bill as It was for a
year or two before that n-.easure became a
law. The great Merrimac Manufacture
Ing company at Lowell haa recently re
duced ita semi-annual dividend to two per
cenc. It paid 3 per cent semi-annual In
1S90 and 4 per cent semi-annual in 1SS9,
and in 1S91 the shares of the company
sold for just halt what they brought in
1SS1, via., $1,000 itia 1SS1 and $t,ooo in
1891.
Equally partisan and iimutesmaullke,"
it aays, Mr McKinley's citation of
heavy exports o( golJ between 1&46 and
1S60 the fact beli. 2 that the great gold
discoveries of California came In this
period and It was just as necessary as to ex-
port wheat or tobacco, or any other com
modity of which we were producing a
large surplus. In aliort. In K'fKntrr ex-po-.es
McKinley as a yreat humbug, if net
a downright fiaud.
XOT EXI'KCTCD SO SOON
When the Democrat said a few days tgo
that in lets than two months republican papers
would he denouncing Ciip as a are trader
(although when elected they said be was a
protectionist) it did not expect that its words
would be verified even before le speaker
made up his committees, but so unsteady are
these organs that thus soon ccmes the New
York Pces, the Uading organ of that party
in New York, and emphatically establishes
the fulfillment cf our prediction. It sty:
Like Mills, f'risp is a thoruughgo'rg rep
resentative of ths free trado southern dem
ocracy. His bitter partisanship aod bis ad
herence to fret, trade were both shown in bis
speech scceptiog the nomination on Monday
night
Mr Crisp's anxiety that his hearers should
understand that he is at heart jus. aa fsnst -ioal
a frrs trader as Mill is manifest. His
record shows him to be a oonsisteot adviite
of British free trade.
Of oonraa tbsr it no reason for aurpriaejin
tbe mere fa:t that these organs should be
eating their own word', and saying things
exactly opposite what they fuiuiarly said,
bur, even atnonj deiuo;raU, there is some sur
prise thst t lie y ihonl'l tbas early repudiate
tbe things they were saying only cne week
ajp. Dot this is only carrying oat a general

by those organs that of depending upon

MICOTATTIIEJUUK.
The most determined effort to accomplish
tariff reform, if uiwiscljr directed, msy prove
to be the greateit ohstacle in tbe wsy of tha
reform.
The strength of MiKiuleyiso is tbe close
alliance ol (be beneficiaries of McKinley ism
"Divide and conquer" woulj te-m to le the
dictate of wisdom en the part of democrats.
All the subsidized interests represented in
tbe senate will surely stand together tn hostil
ity to ny general tirflT-reform bill that dem
ocrats can frame. They csnnot be held to
gether in opposition to sepsrate bills lor tbe
relief of the people
When the democrats shall have control 0
both houses of congress and the president, i
will be their duty to reconstruct ths entire
tariff sjstem upon a just and reasonable basis.
At p-esen' it seems clearly their duty to fore
ao much of reform as is obtainable.
It is folly to shoot intothe air when there
is a target tf error g to be shot at.
Then let us have a number of lariH bills.
Let us lisve a bill pmtirg binding twine, jute

Let u l:cve oce pulling wool aii tbe free list
and rtducirg thedu'y on woolen goods from

means of putting a numSer of the rrpablican
brethren in cinjrew to a crucial test. What
S'juiiniing there would b; when our republi
can frieri'li in congress were cil'ed to vote
upon such bilbt as the ulxjvc.
Tlie correspondent of the Oregonian tel
egraphs fiom Washington as follows:
'1 here It a good deal of speculation as to
what position Mills will take in the next
house. Mills star.dt ready to take the
chairmanship of the ways and means com
mittee li It is offeied him, and says he will
serve the party wherever he may be
placed, and bis friends think It will be very
strange If he is not off r red the place. Crisp
will hardly do jthervlse, because it would
only cinphanlz-j the claim made by the
Mills crowd that Crisp's election meant a
back track on the tariff. -
This indicate that there will be ro
wavering on the tariff question by the
democrats. The appointment of Springer,
McMillan or Wilson would mean the same
thing. The robber tariff will be the grea
leading vital issue in the next campaign.
The silver and other questions will be
secondary In Importance.
The story telegraphed from the east to the
c5 that Mills, after his defeat, sulked like
a school boy is hardly to be credited , but if it
h ere 1 rue, that trait alone would be sufficient
retua for his defeat.
Dcin Krats In Douglas county are taking
Hteps through L F Lane, chairrruu of the
county central ccmmlttee, to organize
clubs throughout the county.
UK KI'iLT 1'liAN,
Mr Springer who may bo made chair
man of the ways and means comtnltte of
tbe house gives his views of the proper
course for the democrat In congress to
pursue on the tariff question, lie says!
"I do not think we should attempt a
general revision of the toil IT at this time.
Ve should offer the country relief by
passing bills for putting the articles named
on the free list and sending them to the
senate. A general tariff bill cannot be en
acted into a law, and would keep congress
here until October. I think there should
be appointment nf a strong committee on
manuctures, with able Investigator on It.
It should consist of fifteen members; ten
democrats and five republicans. This
would make a sub-committee of three
each. They should divide the work, one
investigating texture induttrtc, another
Iron production, another glassware and
pottery, and soon. This committee would
be a sort of adjunct to the ways and mean
committee, which could go on with Its
work, ana then subsequently get all the
testimony without a long list of hearings.
These sub-commlttccs could go on during
the session and also during the recess.
Their Industries should not be conducted
with a spirit ,of hostility toward manu
facturers, but with a view to ascertain the
bottom fact and ascertain In each case.
wrat, it any, degree of protection Ik need
ed, as I have a suspicion that frequently
it Is represented that they need a grea t
deal more protection than Is really the
case. It should be ascertained what labor
coats, the thing produced, wage paid,
whether woik be steady or not, profits on
actual capital and not on watered stock,
relative stock of production here and
abroad, whether there are tacit or direct
agreements to limit production, and much
more Information of a practical character.
This Information Is not now to be had.
The party could then fight the McKinley
bill, and It we win in the election thl in
formation wonld enable us to form a tariff
bill adapted to the country, and become a
taw, and pas It In the 53d congre-. If
we fall In the election, then this informa
tion has been' obtained, and we can keep
on until the country Is educated against
the McKinley bill. ,

TOE VTILIAWITTB VALLEY.
Following ia the add reus of C. It
Schmidt, of Albany, delivered at the
Farmer' Institute at Silvcrtoo :
The Willamette Valley haa a splendid
reputation for ita production of fine
wheat ana we Dave excellent Hour and
bread ; but aa to butter, we must conies
that it is nearly as bad aa our road in
the winter. Indeed our present system
of farming is only possible where agri
culture is in ita infancy. It ia not alone
in this valley thatgrai.t growing has
been -Hie main thing while the land was
new and fertile, but we know the same
practice waa common iu the eastern
states years ago and we have like expe
rience from many countries in F.urope.
It ia very prolltable for us to examine
into this experience from our eastern
relatives, as we will find that it ia only a
matter of a few years timo that we must
follow in their track and learn their
practices. It is of great interest for as
to observe that while we are practicing
grain growing and grain selling we come
in direct competition with rough labor
and with countries which have a popu
lation ol people with only lew wants.and
we Iiave also to bear in mtnl the lui
mene expenses it costs to transport our
grain to the world s market thousands
of miles away. The actnal facts show
us everywhere that competition is
keenest where we srek competition with
unskilled labor, and abroad, on the other
hand, skillful agriculture is lIwfo.l with
but httle competition. lotdiewand gen
tlemen let us look into thoe important
facts and learn by them and we will sxn
see that our home industry is sadlv neg
lected. We now send thousands of dol
lars out of our state V7y to buy butter
from Iowa and other states which ounbt
to be distributed right here. v c cannot
afford longer to overlook the great dairy
industry. All of us w ho came here to
star are anxious to see this beautiful
valley developed, we wish to see it before
we die, we like to reap the leiie(it while
we live. We like to enjoy ihe fruit of
modern civilization, we w ish to see this
valley full of Ix.-autiful homes, full of
prosperous towns and cities. We can
not accomplish hat all good citizens de
sire to see developed before we get a
much greater population and income
from our land. V e need a million rood
people in this valley instead of 150 thou
sand, and the sooner we get them the
better for nil. V.'e younger men appre
ciate all what our brave pioneers have
done !or this sta'e and we owe them
every consideration, but this we can in
no way clearer manifest them by putting
oar shoulders to the wheel and carry it
forward step by step.
Raising of wheat exclusively neces
sitates a waste of over one hundred per
cent, grow corn on tne summer fallow,
Cut it into the silo and make it into flee
utter, and you can increase the net in
come in this Willamette Valley alone
ten million dollars a year; a marvellous
sum, and perhaps you doubt at first
glance, but travel through this valley in
every direction as the speaker has done
and you will not doubt it. Take one
hundred acres good plow land and har
vest year after year 1900 bushels of wheat
and this is belter than the average have
with summer fallow, half of the land is
wasted this same farm will on the sum
mer fallow raise feed enough to support
20 to 50 cows a year which will add over
100 per cent net income. Gentlemen,
when we double and treble our net in
come we will see great changes in this
state in a few years. We w ill find the
homes well supplied with the great
papers of the day, (the speaker here re
ferred to the many splendid agricultural
and dairy papers which ought to be in
every home besides the local papers.
Numbers of the Ureeders Gazette and
Hoards Dairyman was shown.) We will
see neat and comfortable homes, clean
yards and painted buildings, we will see
agricultural and dairy schools besides
and joining our other schools, we w ill
see model dairy farms and model fruit
farms as two sisters helping and depend
ing on each other. We will have good
roads in the winter well as in the
summer. The dairy industry offers twenty-five
(23) dollars every time the wheat
industry oilers ten (10) dollars. Dairy
ing draws into its ranks the best of the
farming community, and its reward to
them who put intelligence into it are
greater than in any other branch of
agriculture. Mr Ed Looney sells 2-1 lbs
of but'tr per week at 70 cents per roll,
the product of four cows. Mr Warren
Cranston had 24 lbs milk per day per
cow average during the whole month ot
May of his 60 cows. Ho uses now l'J lbs
of milk to one pound of butter. Col.
Cornelius keeps a cow to the acre. Jacob
Wilson gets ?60 net income of each cow
per year. - Douglass Co. gets fc0 cents per
roll for their butter, which is a common
price for good separator butter in Port
land. The wonderful growth of the
dairy industry and ihereof following
prosperity in many eastern states is di
rectly due to the liberal policy adopted
of the people through their legislature to
hold farmers' institute and secure spe
cial trained men to deliver free lectures
and make practical demonstrations here
ami there; In Wisconsin about one hun
dred institutes is held in a single season.
Likewise have the people through their
legislation bodies built addition after ad
dition to their agricultural experimental
stations and is ever ready to assist any
movement in the agricultural and dairy
line. Millions of dollars have been
gained to the country where hundreds
was expended. Let us be wise and follow,
The Home Market Club is to be con
gratulated cn one thing. It spokesmen
have at last been able to recognize the fact
that tariff reform hps been gaining ground
In New England. ' President Draper pro
fesses to hi mali!.! t aci.iu it f.r It, but
he acknowledges it and publicly laments
it The ostiich policy hitherto pursued by
the high-tariff brethren appear to have
been abandoned. "
A correspondent asks about what papers
south of Saletn take telegraphic news
There arc none. The Herald of this city
and Guard of Eugene took the dispatches
for a while, but finding the expense too
great for a merely local paper they dis
continued them.
ROUND BUILDERS.
The following U taken from the St
Louis public, supplied to that paper by a
correspondent at King wood, West Vai
Were the mound builder of America
differently constructed from man of today f
Were there mere giant among them
than there are now among the while race?
Or, were they a fading race of giant leav
Ing their footprint behind that other race
might know they existed? Their history
was not written In books, but bullded In
their mounds, which tutd their work of
art, implement of war and working
utensils.
Tha fore-arm and sldn- bone of the ne
gro are longer than that of the white race,
and it Is said he cannot jump is tar a hi
white brother, other thing being equal,
because hi heels leaye the Imprint further
back than the white man's. These thing
we know are distinctive of the African
rice.
Had the mound builder a defined an
anatomical distinction?
Were their skull a A rule farmed dlf-
feiently from curs?
These question forced themselves upon
my mind when I examined a skull found
In the Castle Mound whlchcontalued five
Wormian bones, and heard the history
connected with the mound.
This monad Is on what I known as Castle
Farm, about five mile south of King wood,
W, Va., and wa first opened In 1834 by
lion. James C McGrew and other of King.
wood. They found a peculiarly shaped
tone pipe, a stone relic In the shape of an
hour-glass, which was neatly and mechan
ically made, and, no doubt had been used
for the recording of tlm.
Wiley's history say of thK hour-glass:
"It might be captured ane placed In the
mound for safe-keeping by an Indlan.aa the
mound builder are supposed to hava left
Egypt wnen the sun dial was used, and be
fore the Invention and Introduction of the
hour-glass.''
In 1S81 an exploration of the mound was
made and In the bottom wa a layer of
bone, men, women and children having
been burled, in sitting posture, In a circle,
with their feet out . Dlts of charcoal scat
tered through ashes, alia the bones show
ing to a greater or lesa extent the effect
ol lire, tell plainly the story that they
burned their dead were crcmallonlst.
Above this layer a couple of feet, I a
second layer, burled in the satne manner
as the irst, and directly above It, In the
top, are found other remains.
Every skull found tn the mound by Mr
Wiley and other contained Wormian
bones, I. e., extra bone found in the sutures
of the bones of the cranium, and named
from Olans Wormlus, who Is said to have
first dlscovcrd them, although they bad
been noticed by a pbysclan at Strasburg,
C Andernoch, before Wormlus 'described
them. They are generally found on top
of the skull and are quite rtre. Occasion
ally a skull Is found containing one or two,
but the skull seen by the writer had Ave of
thess extra bone on the tcp sutures of the
skull.
A great many skulls were found In this
mound, but they were so brittle, from the
effect of ftre, no doubt, that they could
not be taken out without crumbling to
piece. The top of every skull showed the
Wormiana.
The skulls weru long and .narrow, with
low foreheads and long narrow face. The
wonderfully large bones found Interspersed
through the bottom layer show that there
were giants among them, at least seven
(ect high, whilst Ihe majority would In
dicate heights of 5 feet 8 to 6 fect.
If It is speculation, the, to say that they
were a fading race of giants with theta
data, what of the scientific men who con
struct whole skeletons, even giving us the
eontour In outline, of prehistoric animals
when they have one or two bones to start
from?
ihe mound builder sought a warmer
clime in the sunny south, likey forced to
do so by the on-coming of the Indian.
E M llccrsmans of the Frcston County

pieces of incinerated bon, some arrow
heads, Indian hatches, etc., '.hat he huind

two miles cast of KinBwood.
l)r Trippett of Kingwood has a very fine
specimen of the Indian hatchet. Itia made
of the hardest granite, beautifully be
specked and very smooth, found on the
Rldenon farm, Portland dltrlct,thre mile
from Kingwood. He ha an arrow head
of white flint, almost perfect In form,
which was found a few day ago by Master
Charles Morris, on the Morris farm, Cheat
River Bottom, one and a half mile couth
nf Kingwood. The doctor also own a
very tmall arrow head, about the sice of a
man'a thumb nail. It Is exceedingly sharp,
and the most perfect ever seen In this
country. It wa found In a cave about
fifteen mltea west of Kingwood. It had a
film of something on It when found that
waa bitter and puckeiing to the laate,
which required an scid solution to remove.
This Is thougnt to be a poisoned arrow,
Wlliiam Braham, a tenant of the Hon.
C M Bishop's, two mile east of Kingwood,
found on the farm on which he live, the
smallest specimen of an Indian hatchet
the writer haa ever aeen. It la about two
inches by i,made of granite.and wa given
to Di Trippett and I now in the Trlppett
Ileertnans collection.
Mr Branam also found an exceedingly
large specr head of dark flint on the lower
end of the Morris farm, spoken of above,
known as the Old Ferry place.
Many year ago there were three mound
on the Andrew Goff farm, seven mile
above Rowlesbury, on the Baltimore and
Ohio, Preston County, W. Va. Two of
them have been torn down, but one yet
remains.
There is another on the old McGiU farm
three miles east of Fellowsville, Preston
County, and another close to Kingwood,
which will soon be explored.

Poatland Dec 14 N Baum, the senior
member of the firm of Baum & Brandes, lie
dead at hi home at 335 Yamhill street. He
died about seven o'clock last evening from
the effect of a pistol wound that is believed
to have been self inflicted. Mr Baum left his
restaurant on First street about 6 o'clock last
evening and took dinner with his family and
several friend, While at tbe table lie chat-'
ted pleasantly and appealed to be in the best
ol spirits. Dinner was over about 7 c'rlock,
and as was his usual custom he lit bis clear
nd weat up stairs. ' He had hardly been out
of the room a minute when Mr Baum heard
a report up stair. She thought a window
had droppeJ, and went up to investigate, and
her sui prise can be imagined whea she found
tier husband lying on the floor of the bath
room with his face covered with blaod and the
brain oozing out of a large hole through the
head.
The unexpi cted and tragic ' desth of Mr
Baum wa the general topic of conversation on
the street corner last night, and ths suicide
theory as accepted almost without any ex
ceptions. As to tbe motives that could have
prompted bim to take this rash step, rumor
had it that li had lost some money in gambl
ing, He wkf a man of mean, bad a good
lusiness. plenty of friends. He wa naturally
a man of nervous disposition, and at lime
very irritable, and it 1 possible that he con
cluded to take his own life on the spur ol the
moment because of bis losses.
