little short of $55,000,000, an in

American inventors seem to be
active in the line of destructive
warfare. During the past year
the board of Ordnance has ex
amined and acted on 2S0 inven
tions, including artillery, guns for
high explosives, smokeless powder,
cartridges, air ships, etc. Blade.
One thing the farmer of the fu
ture must do and that is to edu
cate himself in everything that
pertains to his calling. Better
education means more knowledge
of the principles that underlie suc
cessful farming, and more and bet
ter applied knowledge means bel
ter results.
It don't take much to console
the Seattle Telegraph, judging
from the following: "Amid the
gloom which hangs over the local
election returns, it is cheering to
cast the eye towards the shining
light which illumines West Seat
tle. We elected a constable over
there. All is not lost."
The effort to induce Governor
Hill, of New York, to accept the
United States senatorship from
that stale, is a very clever scheme
to pave the way clear for G rover
Cleveland to the democratic presi
dential nomination in 1892. Gov
ernor Hill has no love for Cleve
land, and at the same time he has
presidential aspirations of a most
pronounced character. Consider
ing these things Hill would be
very foolish to accept the senator
ship. It lie does so, it may be
taken for granted that the shrewd
New Yorker has no hopes ot dem
ocratic success in 1S92. Telegram.
Fourteen of the thirty-one coun
ties of Oregon return tax lists ag
gregating $30,000,000. Consider
ing the altogether dishonest show
ing allowed and encouraged by
our assessment laws this may be
considered pretty good. Three
times that amount, or $90,000,000,
would probably be a fair valuation
of the property listed in these
fourteen counties, furnish an intel
ligent index-to the thrift and pros
perity of the portions of the state
thus represented, and, if followed
up by the seventeen counties from
which returns are yet to be made,
would insure the highest tax levy
in the history of the state. Ore
gonian. The Times-Mountaineer makes
the following very sensible re
marks: The Corvallis Gazette
has been sued for $5000 damages
for advertising the character of a
former citizen in its columns, and
this is food for rellection. An at
torney, before a jury, could smirch
the reputation of any witness in
the blackest and foulest manner,
and no action would lie against
him. Ajrain. in a breach of
promise case, by introducing testi
mony of any kind, he could rob a
girl of that which is dearer than
life to her for the purpose of earn
ing a fee from his lecherous client,
and it is not actionable. Why is
this? Perhaps, because the attor
ney is not expected to maintain
Itiat degree of integrity which the
publisher is, or that the forensic
efforts of the paid advocate
amounts to little or nothing out
side of the court room, while the
printed words of the editor burn
and excoriate, and lives on from
year to year, and increases in
strength with the lapse of time.
All must acknowledge the power
of the press, and the bar, pulpit
and the disciples of Esculapius are
actually overshadowed by it.
The democrats, ot the eastern
states are by no means so jubilant
as they were just after the election.
A consideration of the returns re
veals four facts which have greatly
decreased the value of their ap
parent victory. In the first place
it is seen that the vote shows no
increase of democratic votes but a
decrease in republican votes,
which proves only that republi
cans stayed at home this year and
affords no reason for believing that
they will vote against, the party in
1S92. In the second place many
of those who were elected and
were at first classed with demo
crats, are found to be members of
the Farmers' Alliance, and the
leader of that organization has de
clared that the Alliance men seek
to hold the balance of power in
congress and will not act as mem
bers ot the democratic party. In
the third place the victories in Ill
inois and Wisconsin were won by
combinations against compulsory
education, which will have no ef
fect in 1S92. Finally, in a district
which gave 3000 democratic ma-
jority in 18S8, McKinley was
feated this year by less than 300
votes, thus showinir that where
tariff was fully discussed and thor
oughly understood by the people,
the tendency of changed votes

The intelligent farmer of to-day
realizes that in farm matters there
must be a change. Either the
price of wheat, the chief product
of the farm, must be advanced so
that the- farmer can realize a
profit on the basis of the present
yield per acre of that cereal, or if
the present prices continue to be
the price of the future, the quan
tity per acre must be increased, so
that the farmer may leap some
profit upon the capital invested in
the farm. t
The price of farm hands will in
future, as they have in the past,
continue-to advance. The attrac
tions of our beautiful Willamette
valley, in the way of climate, pro
ductiveness, natural scenery, etc.,
is bound to cause large numbers
of people to locate in it and build
their homes in our midst. Immi
gration agents tell us that the in
flux of population during the next
ten years will Vie greater than we
have ever known before. This be
ing true, the value of land will be
doubled at least. Then if land now
valued at $30 or $40 per acre can
de-iiiot be farmed ac a profit in wheat,
raising, how will it lie when worth
! twice as much? The only answer
is that a more profitable crop must
be produced.
The experience of the past in
f Vi'-it raising is not very encourag-
unless different
modes and
methods are adopted. Those per
sons who have made fruit, culture
a sf tidy and bring the knowledge
ance, and nearly all ol l lie ene
mies of fruit known to the pomol
ogist are found in them. Many of
the neglected orchards are lit for
nothing but fire wood, and many
of them by proper attention can
be restored and made a .source of
profit, to the farmer.
ket for the small white bean would
pay the farmer from !'50. to $75
per acre clear profit.
The successful farmer of the
future will be he who has for sale
a diversity of products of the
farm, garden, orchard, dairy, hen
nery, etc., and he who adopts the
plan of raising a diversity of crops
will prosper while the exclusive
wheat farmer will continue to mur
mur '-hard limes," and that wheat
raising does not pay, and other
kindred expressions. Scio Press.

The cause of the shrinkage of
stocks in our eastern markets dur
ing the last three or four months
is known to have been the precipi
tation on the American market of
large amounts of American rail
way and other securities formerly
1 held in England. At last it has
I transpired why these securities
were sent over here to be sold.
Immense suimof money had been
. drawn away from England lor in
; vestment in South American
! bonds. These investments having
resulted in unparalled losses, the
bankers and capitalists of Eng
, land pushed upon the market all
securities held by them upon
which money could be- raised.
This action threw back upon the
United States vast quantities of
railway and other securities, by
! which the American market has
j been borne down. A iurther re
sult has been the depression in
value of all stocks except those of
the most solid character. All new
undertakings have been hindered
or crippled, and many of them
have been defeated. It has- been
: impossible to float the bonds of
, new projects, and it has evert been
difficult to get money for the-pur-i
poses of ordinary business.
The house of Baring Brothers
had so long held a position as one
of the greatest and most solid in
the world that the announcement
of its embarrassment came as a
surprise. The magnitude of its
operations is attested by the fact
that, its losses upon securities of the
bankrupt Argentine republic ap
pear to exceed $50,000,000, so that
the united financial strength of
London was required to prevent a
collapse that would have led to
ruinous results in all quarters of
the worid.
