The give-something-for-nothing financial societies are after the money of the gullible. A word to the wise etc. The convention of the National Republican League at Cincinnati was like the republican party a "corker" and all right. The democratic managers seem to nave rather overdone things in the so called Western Commercial Congress recently held at Kansas City. Italy owes $225,000,000, and the prospects of obtaining a finan cial lift from the United States were not at last accounts encour aging. Ninety-nine men out of every nundred believe in their hearts that a day of retribution will come, and ninety-eight of them believe they will be overlooked in the jam. Sentinel. Chicago will have a republican mayor during the World's Fair which means ample security for the persons and property of those visiting the exposition. Good for Chicago, and good for her visitors too. The democrats have for months been endeavoring to create the impression that the president was at heart opposed to reciprocity, but all their carefully built theo ries have tumbled back into noth ingness from which they were created since Mr. Harrison made that ringing reciprocity speech at Galveston, Texas. It is daily becoming more ap parent that no considerable body of republicans favor the issuing of a currency by the Government that may be worth less than one hundred cents on the dollar to any man, rich or poor.- We don't want two kinds of dollars, one for the wealthy man and one for the la- Boring toiler. Dollars are like votes, one should always be as good as another. Either Hon. Win. M. Springer, who thinks he is in the speakership- race, has a double or his opinions undergo as many and as rapid changes as the weather. It is hard to pick np a paper that does not contain an alleged inter view with him, and no two of them represent him as entertain ing the same opinion. But after all, come to think of it, he is only following old time democratic methods of gaining votes. "What is statesmanship? Helping to add to the greatness of the country, commercially as well as politically. Making a profitable market for a million barrels of flour to say nothing of other American products and manufac tures, as the new Cuban reciprocity treaty recently made with Spain will do, is the republican adminis tration's idea of statesmanship, and it is one that every patriotic citizen can enthusiastically en dorse. In 188&'oats averaged 23 cents per bushel. Now they are worth 42 cents. As the New York Press pertinently remarks, "How the iree traders would howl if any manufactured goods had advanced at this rate." Everybody admits, Jiowever, that it is better for the country that the farmer should receive a fair price for his pro ducts. A great many people are still blind enough, however,-to deny that those engaged in manu facturing should receive also a fair return -for their labor. INVITING COLONIES. The Oregon Land Company has adopted a plan that has a great deal of merit. It is planning to locate whole colonies of eastern people on large fruit tracts near Salem. Half the letters this office receives from the east speaks of plans of torming colonies to come west. This system has many ad vantages. A colony can get bet ter pass3nger and freight rates, the trip together and the location in a body make their excursion to a far-off strange land far more pleas ant. In such companies people not only enjoy themselves better, but can get better terms all around, and be helpful to one another during the first years of struggle. The feeling of lonesome ness and home-sickness that is such a terror to women and young people, and even some men, is overcome by the colony plan. The Oregon Land Company has struck the right thing in this and it will result in immigration by colonies in place of families. Journal. In the interests of the import ant fruit industry of our state The Astorian directs attention to the fact that on fruit now arriving from California is the dreaded San Jose scale. This insect has cost California millions of dollars. So far our state is comparatively free from it, but if fruit, oranges, etc., covered with the insect and its larvse, are allowed to enter the the state it will not be long till our Oregon fruit will be devasta ted in the same way that Califor nia fruit has been. Next to wheat and salmon our fruit interests are of most importance, and the day will come when if judiciously fostered, Oregon's fruit will be first in importance. In this re gard "an ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure." About three years ago a fool professor in j a Medford, Mass., college, import- i ed a bug or worm that he turned loose to see what it would do. It proved to be the dreaded "gypsy moth." The result of the college man's experiment can be best judged, when we state that last year the Massachusetts legislature appropriated $25,000 as a gift to some one to devise some success ful means of ridding Massachu setts orchards of that fruit de stroyer. Astorian. The accomplishments of the Alliance legislatures when com pared with the ante-election prom ises of the stump speakers of that organization is as a mustard seed to a mountain. AH of which shows that it is much easier to promise relief than to give it. The farmers have grievances, se rious grievances, which must be righted before the industrious til lers of the soil will enjoy the pros perity to which they are justly en titled; but, we think, and we be lieve that the time will soon come when a great majority of the mem bers of the Farmers Alliance will think with us, that the republican party, which has always been the best friend of the working men, is the source from which practical relief will come. Commenting on the launch of the Monterey in the presence of President Harrison on Tuesday, the Chronicle says he could not fail to be impressed with this idea, that it is a great country which can build battle ships simulta neously 3000 miles apart, and that not in government shipyards, but in private yards, competing keen ly for the contract and rivaling each other in excellence of work manship. Tulare made a happy hit in re ceiving the president. They took him amid showsrs of flowers over a pathway strewn with new-mown alfalfa to the stump of a sequoia gigautea, from which he made an address. If this was not the .big gest stump speech, it was at any rate a speech from the biggest stump on which any president ever stood. Ex. THE FACTS ARE BEST. The Oregonian has had its usual Coos bay grapevine special, that the steam schooner Geo. H. Chance was bar bound at Yaquina bay. This as usual is a misrepre sentation. The truth is, that last Wednesday she had laid up at Alsea Bay, Waldport, just a week bar bound, and not much show of getting off. Coming from Port land the Chance put into Newport and discharged freight, getting out with no delay. The persistent ly ing about Yaquina to advance Coos bay interests will not help that region nor the Oregonian. The general opinion of seamen is that Yaquina bar is fully as good, if not better than the bar at Coos bay, and both are better than Alsea. The facts are best in all these matters, we think. There is 12 to 14 feet of water on Alsea bar at ordinary high tide. The Chance is reported drawing 10 to 11 feet. This paper has no interest in any of the harbors and only seeks to prevent injustice to any. Capital Journal. The New York Herald is not out of the way in the least when it says: "Our immigration laws are not half stringent enough. Neither are they enforced with energy enough. If a man is of any use to us, let him come in. If he has money or skill we shall be glad to see him. But if he has nothing but rheumatism and beg gary to contribute to the general welfare, if he comes from a poor house at home for the sake of a change of diet in an American poor house, we not only don't want him but we wont have him. If he insists on coming the only thing to do is to send him back. As for men with brains, all right; as for knaves, cut-throats and pau pers, Europe is welcome to them and can keep them. The Swiss have a queer system of taxation. The poorer a man is the less proportionately is his rate of taxation. That is, we will say, if a man is worth $100,000, arid the rate of taxation is two per cent., he has to pay $2000. If he is worth $50,000 he will pay, not $1000, but $750. If worth but $25,000 he will pay $250, and so on down to $5000, when he scarce ly pays anything. Then, every body makes his own assessment, but after a man's death the govern ment carefully investigates his estate, and if he has been defraud ing the treasury, it collects the back taxes with interest. Our English friends are getting a little worried over the tremen dous speed which the cruisers of our new navy are developing. It will be remembered that England subsidizes her lines of swift mail steamers on condition that the ves sels shall be armed and put into special service in case of war. Now it appears that our cruisers have developed such speed as to make it certain that English mail steamers could be caught and de stroyed by them should hostilities begin. Hence the worry of our friends across the pond. It may be a matter of interest to some very good people, and it is certainly a matter of justice to the president himself, that the fact should be known that President Harrison, and every person of his party on the present tour, pays the regular railroad fare to the Pacific coast and return. The Pullman company furnished the train without extra charge, and all railroads haul it for the regular per cent. An offer was made, to convey the party without expense, which President Harrison very sensiby refused. The democrats captured the Minnesota legislature last fall, after many years of promisin what great reforms they would accomplish in such case. Well, the democratic legislature has ad-, jourued, with a net result of in creased state expenditures for the year of over $1,000,000. Astorian. EAW AS EEEF-STEAE. Baby's Fearful Suffering from Skin Disease Covering Kntire Body Cured by Cuticura. My baby was taken very sick when he was three months old, ami in a few days be gan breaking out. We employed both of tbe home doctors, and they could do noth ing for him. Then we sent for the best doctor in Eaton Rapids, Mich. , and he doc tored him tor two weeks, and he got worse all the time; and then I took him to Jackson to a doc tor who attends es pecially to skin dis eases, and then he got worse than ever. Then 1 told my hus band we bad better try the Cuticdra Remedies any way; did not have any idea thoy would do any good, but in less than two months from the time we began giving them to him he was entirely well, and not a spot on him. His hair began growing right off, and we had thought he wonld always be bald-headed. There was not a spot on his whole body, face, and head, Only his nose and eyes, but what was as raw as a beef-steak. So poor there was not any thing but bones, and so weak he could raise neither hand nor head. Mrs. Frank Barrett, VVinfield, Mich. Cuticura Resolvent.
