Iiie reciprocity treaty wit IV
Brazil goes into effect April 1st, of
the present year, ft estimated
that under it our exports to that
country will be from twenty to
thirty millions of dollars per an
num. Last year they were less
t 'lan $6,000,000: That is practi
cal statesmanship.
The Sioux chiefs- who- went to
Washington to confer with Presi
dent Harrisorrand Secretary Noble
are dissatisfied with the results of
their visit, and threaten to go on
the war-path in the spring. The
government should heed the warn
ing and teach Uese troublesome
chiefs such a lesson that they
would never go on the war-path
agai n.
Henry Wattkbson's letter to
Gov. Hifl. may or may not have
influenced that gentleman-' in the
taking of the senatorship from
New York, but there can be no
two opinions as to its being about
as impatient a document as was
ever sent by any maw to another
with whom he had not the slightest
personal acquaintance. - No won
der Hill says- he never received
such a letter.
Sngland is decidedly uneasy at
present over the probabilitv of los
ing her trader with Brazil. TTe
trade :between Great Britain and
Brazil' is very heavy, and the loss
will be serious. But their loss will
be otrr gain notwithstanding the
growl of the free trade men
Thus again does the republican
party policy come to' the" front in
spite-of the kicking of the oppo
sition to the MeKinley bill, with
its grand reciprocity clause which
made such trade accessions pos
sible.' It seems thai th -Americans
are for America, whether
Nbrth or South. Ex;
After all the wind and ink
wasted the legislature has adjourn
ed without making any appropri
ation ' for the World's Fair or
amending the assessment laws.
The wagon road bills - have been-
vetoed and the governor's pet
measure",- the $400,000 appropria
tion for a portage railway at The
Dalles and Cellio failed to pass,
and 'the railroad commission, fish
commission, etc., still live. - Never
theless there has been a large
amount of work done andKmany
meritorious bills passed at this ses
sion. Senator Crosno and Repre
sentatives Moer andStarr, of this
county,: have represented their
constituents in' an able manner
and - the measures intrusted to
them have iared well in their
hands.
The wheels of the Kansas alli
ance are to be greased by cotton

lone wails of the larmers before
the election last- fall was the- adul

cottonseed oil, claimmg that it in
jured the sale -of lard, thwlegiti

OUR DOMESTIC TRADE AND HOME
MARKET.
The following is from' Secretary
Wiudom's last speech: .
One or two comparisons will
convey some idea of our stupend
ous internal conJrrierce. The ton
nage which passed through the
Detroit river alone during the 234
days of navigation in 1889 exceed
ed by 2,46S,127 tons the entire
British- and foreign tonnage" which
entered and cleared? at London and
Liverpool that year in the foreign
and coastwise trade.
The freight which passed through
the St. Mary's Falls Canal in 1S90
exceeded by 2,257,876 tons the
entire tonnage of all nations
which passed through- the Suez
Canal in 1889.
The freight carried on railroads
of the United States in 1890 ex'
ceeded by over 36,000,000 tons
the aggregate carried on all the
railroads of Great Britain, France,
Germany and Russia in 1889.
Commodities are interchanged
among our own people with great
er facility and at cheaper rates,
distance being considered, than in
any other country on earth.
The increase of national wealth
and prosperity, largely cfiie to this
system of protection to our home
markets and domestic trade, and
to the generous development of
these instrihieitalitie3 of com
merceihas become " the msFve of
the world. Take a few compar
isons, based fipott tli United
States census of 1880, and upon
figures furnished by Mr. .Mulhall,
the English? stati'stican.
In manufactures we exceed
Great Britain in 1880 by $1,579,
570,191. Fiance by $2,115,000,-
000, and Germany by $2305,000,-
000.
In products- of agriculture we
excelled Great Biitaiw by $1,425,-
000,000, Fiance by $625,000,000,
and Germany by $925,000,000.
Our earnings or income for 1880
from commerce, agriculture, raili
ng, manufactures, the carrying
trade and banking exceeded those
of Great Britain from the same
source by $1,250,000,000-,- Fiance
by $2,395,000;000, and Germany
y $2,775,000,000.
fn 1880 our home markets' con
sumed about $10000,000 worth of
our own products, an amount
eaual to- the- entire accumulated
wealth of Spain, three times the
ncrSase of wealth in Great Brit
aiii for ten years, and seven times
the increase of France for the
same period. Our home markets
that year absorbed ft?e' times-as
much of our : manufactured pro
ducts as Great Britain" exported of
hers to ait' the markets of' the
world."
If a member of your family was
dangerously ill would you call in
a farmer to-prescribe? ; If a? piece-;
of intricate machinery was out of
order would you employ a carpen
ter to fix it? If you had a com
plicated law suit to- defend would
you employ a merchant or',barrker
to do it for you? Ot course you
would not do any of these obvi
ously absurd things, and- yet?
otherwise sensible men are nu
merous who think it would be
wise to follow-the advice of those
who have never? had any large
financial experience; against that
of those who- have devoted them
lives to a study of the subject in
changing the financial system of
the country. It is the most mo-
mentens question that nations are
catledupon to' decide, and mis
step will be followed by untold
miserv. anion the poor. Let us
go slow in this matter.
Post3tster-General Wanama-
ker -has either made a mistake, or
else lie has an abiding faith in his
power to stand the criticism of the
thousands of post-msstrrthttragh-
out thVland which he has invited
them-to'rnake of his annual re
port, copies of which he has had
sent them. Ori second thought

ROTHSCHILD AND RUSSIA.
There is promise of a duel of
ducats between Rothchild and the
Czar. The banker objects td the
Russian" persecution of his" cd-re-ligio'nist,
the Russian Jew, arid in
asmuch as he can raise or depress
the credit of any nation on the
continent St will, he proposes to
pinch the Muscovite-! The whole
world will wish luck to Rothschild.
The exile to freer countries ot the
millions of Russian Jews implies
an industrial disturbance- which is
not for the good ot labor or capital.
These poor people are Russians in
their habits and instincts, which is
not against them, but the victims
of studied governmental persecu
tion are always warped out of
shape and don't fit into a normal
society. Israelites who have long
enjoyed emancipation m this
country and England and Southern
Europe understood this perfectly,
and they prefer that Russia shall
be coaxed or forced to treat her
Jews rightly, rather than under
take to receive and untwist them
... . -i -
in tins country or eisewnere.
Russia is the greatest borrower
amongst the nations, and has the
most profligate and unorganized
system' of finance. Her immense
resources are capable of being tax
ed lightly, if intelligently, to pro
duce revenues adequate to the cost
of the military establishment and
the support of all civil functions.
But, instead of such intelligent
taxation, the people are burdened
and the treasury is not benefited,
and the borrowing goes oh. This
lack of system in the national
finance is reflected in the personal
finances of the people, especially
the former serf's, and it is claimed
that the Jews take advantage of
this. The Czar, instead' of reform
ing the methods of his govern
ment, arid teaching his people by
that high example, proposes to
persecute and banish the thrifty
Jew, who takes advantage of the
unthrifty Russian. Rothschild
has a great opportunity now to in
flict a lesson, and' tlte whole world
will Watct with interest this wres
tle between- one man and a gov
ernment that controls 9G,000,000
people. San Francisco Alta.
The News Letter sstintatesr that
when fo the $300,000 gtveirby the
State for the CaliforTria exhibit at
the World's Fair there" is added
what the counties and private in
dividuals will expend for the same
purpose the total outlay from the
state will not fall short of $2,000,-
000: Oregon will have no exhibit
at the World's Fair. As has- been
usual in the past California wilf no
doubt draw largely on the' resour
ces of this state to make up her
exhibit and our people will take a
back seal" and let California have
all the glory and credit derived
fron-4 Oregon's - resources as her
own; ' - .
The financial condition of the
country is improving every day,
and more than five millions of dol
lars are added to the amount of
money in-5 circulation every thirty
days. This being the case it is not"
strange that conservative men
should be . satisfied to "let well
endUgn--alone.'r
, - -Senator
Morgan recently said
that he believed nothing could
please 'the American people so
much "as- a' foreign war. Some
would-be government contractor
or an ambitious army or navy
officer must stand in the senator's
mind for the American people.
The Farmers Alliance of Mary

IF WE
DON'T BUT
SELL."
WE CANNOT
Nothing seems rribre' certain
than that. But as a matter of fact
the English Board of Trade returns
show that we sold merchandise to
England valued at j95 millions
arid she sold td in goods valued at
44 millions; sliglilly over 1.8
per cent, of the total commerce Of
the two countries conHistcd ofHftlfrf
by England. On the other htunl,
England sold Russia 8 j millions
Worth 6f goods and took 27
millions worth, or the" salon of
England were slightly less than
24 per cent, of the total trudo.
But Russia has a more prohibitive
tariff than we, and the higher her
tariff the greater her sales to Eng
land and the less her purchases.
But there is nothing in this to
shake a free-trader's belief in
what his common sense tells him.
American Economist.-
The- Examiner says: "On Sufc
urday a man who stole 90 cents'
worth of property was sentenced
to two years' hard labor in Folsom
Prison. John C. Hall who stole
over $200,000 is still at large.
Justice is mighty and has a habit
of prevailing in story books, but It
does not seem to be startirfgiy suc
cessful in real life." .
istil&Sk has passed a law requir
ing purchasing agents for' state in
stitutions to buy Indiana produc
tions only. This was done by a
democratie legislature" everlasting
ly opposed to tariff laws and the
home market. But there is some-
i thing strange about it. "
