This is only an ex pariment, the continuance of which, we trust, will be warranted by a sufficient reception of public patronage. It is the object and aim of its editor to make the Ga zette a first-class local newspaper trusty, reliable and reasonable, and especially devoted to the in terests of Corvallis and Benton county. Iu recognition of these things it has secured the services f Arthur Spalding, who will henceforth be employed on the local department of the paper. He is well known by our citizens and any favors shown him will be re garded by us with due appreciat ion. It has always been the in tention of this paper to be in con cord and harmony with the people in the promotion of public enter prises in the past, and it will coiir tinue to give support to such in the future. While thanking all for past favors, we will not reject, by any means, a continued en largement of public patronage, the reception of which we will en- deavor to regard with liberal grati- tude, and will ever strive to pro-' 1 . - A A. - J il. . ! moie me interests oi me common cause. . THE "OPPRESSED" FARMER. The farmers of the country are now the favored class, and all oth ers are crying out against their high prices. AVe hear now only of farmers' exorbitant prices, and no longer are "McKinley prices1' heard in the land except when men praise them in. the gates. For sugar is down to five cents a pound, and iron and steel, cottons and woolens and all other factory products are cheaper than when the McKinley bill became a law. But where are the prices of the products of the oppressed farmers? Away up, averaging perhaps fifty per cent, of an advance upon the prices of last year. Wheat and corn, oats and barley, and all kinds of meats now bring the highest prices they have brought for years and the "oppressed" farmer is now having a good time at other peo ple's sore cost. AVe congratulate him on his changed condition. Pretty soon he will begin to spend his money, and then all the wheels of industry will go round and round, and the poor people who work hard in rolling mills and 6teei works, in mines and quarries and in lactones and workshops will be steadily employed, even if they must continue to pay big prices for bread and meat to the Western members of the Farmers' Alliance. In more senses than one the farmers "feedeth all." Bulletin of Iron and Steel Associ ation. FACTS ABOUT FACTORIES. Factories are important iu the wealth-producing enterprises of the country. They grant employ ment to laborers who are both producers and consumers. They impel growth and promote pros perity, and enliven activities in the channels of commerce. The Northwest must soon devise some means of support for the army of immigrants which is trending westward, and it is time we were making preparations for their recent ion. Let us encourage the establishment of factories, the source of augmented business and the certainty of general prosper ity. Let us be a progressive peo ple in the lines of industry and enterprise, and cater to the solu tion! of problems of push and pro gress. We can not accomplish great ends without using great means. " .

Trouble is brewing pprehensions of a revolution Test.' r.:-..U: .' 'GOOD OLD TIMES." The "good old days" would be considered very hard times if they could come back. Our fathers of a hundred years ago paid 58 cents a yard for calico; in 1880 it was worth 29 cents; in 1890, 11 cents; in 1891, 5 cents. Let us make the same compari son regarding the prices of sugar. In 1790, it cost 18 cents a pound for cheap brown grade, such as nobody uses now; in 1830, it cost 15 cents a pound; in 1860, 11 cents; in 1891, 5 cents for the best gran ulated sugar. Take now something that the farmers sell in place of what they buy: In 1870, butter sold in Massachusetts at 11 cents a pound; in 1830, at 18 cents a pound; in 1860, at 26 cents a pound; in 1891, 30 to 35 cents a pound. Take another instance, that of dressed beef. In Massachusetts, in the year 1790, it sold for 3 cents a pound; in 1830, at7 cents; in 1860, at 12 cents; in 1891, 12 to 18 cents. Consider these facts when the free traders talk about the "good old days," when we had no manu factories, when our entire country was devoted to agriculture, and the number of those engaged in other occupations formed but a small percentage of the popula tion. Toledo Blade. The Philadelphialnquirer thinks it is a shame for us rude dwellers in Western Oregon and Washing ton to clear off, by burning the timber so as to get a little patch of fertile soil, on which to raise garden sass and sich. If the Phila delphia editor was to live out here for a little while he would have a mental grasp of the situation that is now denied him. Oregon is not wantonly burning timber just to see it burn, but folks with fine soil under their feet are tired of paying big prices for California hay and Iowa butter and Ohio bacon and Chicago lard, and want to clear a space about 20x40 to get a living from. Man is the crea ture of his environments, and hu man nature is the same in poor old worn-out Pennsylvania or on the virgin soil of Oregon. It is probable, judging from re ports at hand, that the August business in the United States was the largest ever done in that month, and it is highly gratifying to know that the increase has been general and extends to all the branches of trade and industry. These facts are proving to be the ablest missionaries for, the republi can party, and its principles, that ever took the field. Facts are" al ways knock-down arguments, and you cannot make a man believe when he is prospering as never before that it is wise to put the control of the government in the hands of a party which would re verse all of the laws affecting the great industrial interests in the country. The German police have been hunting for the authors of stories in the French newspapers about the health of the emperor. How absurd it seems to an American! The police here would get very "tired" hunting for the authors o stories about Blaine's health, or Harrison's health, or Cleveland's domestic relations. European dignitaries w6uld probably be hor rified at the ' hjntsin some news papers that Mr. Cleveland is pre paring a dramatic coup d' etat which will start off a fresh crop of Gro vers, and Fannies by suscepti ble mothers who name their chil dren for the hero of the moment. Tribune. The liberal, conservative adver. User is the man who gets the liberal, conservative trade of a community. You never see any cobwebs across his doorway, ' or any last year's goods on hand. He tells the people what he has through the columns of the local paper, and the public know where to go to get what they want. In that way the merchant has to keep his stock replenished, and his cus tomers always know that they are purchasing fresh goodsjn groceries and the latest styles in clothing. Truly, it pays to advertise by a very big vote. - - ; England and Canada will howl worse than ever when the "most favored nation" treaty, which has existed for some years with Spain, and which has given to England and Canada the cream of the Cu ban trade, is abrogated, as notice lias been given by the Spanish government that it will be July 1, 1891. It will not add to John Bull's comfort to know that the transfer of the bulk of his Cuban trade to the United States is the direct result of the reciprocity clause of the McKinley tariff law. If it be wrong for merchants and manufacturers to form trusts to raise the price of certain arti cles, is it right for farmers to do the same thing? Inasmuch as the farmer has been pretty extensively bled.by the trusts of various sorts he is hardly to be blamed for get ting his revenge when he gets the opportunity; but that does not change the principle of the thing. If it is wrong for one set of men to form trusts, it is equally wrong for another set to do so; no matter what objects are in view. It seems that Secretary Foster and Hon. John W. Foster, of In diana, who is at present looking after reciprocity matters for the state department, are being con tinually mixed up in the newspa pers, and one credited for what the other is doing and vice versa. It is fortunate with both gentlemen that both of them should occupy such high places in public estima tion, as to make it certain that this mixing up process will never cause either of them to feel ashamed of the other. The Prince of Wales is claiming the credit for having indirectly rendered great assistance to the Jews in Russia, as well as to the poverty-stricken Jewish exiles from that country, by lending his moral support to certain Jewish committees in England. Well, the Jews have been rendering great assistance to the Prince of Wales for lo these many years, by lending him their hard cash, and it is only right that he should show his gratitude for favors re ceived. Everybody who is old enough to remember war times remembers the quaint expression "I fight mit Sigel," which was originated by one of Sigels' German soldiers. Since the war Gen. Sigel has re sided in New York, but he is go ing to Fort. Madison, Iowa, where he has been selected to deliver an oration "at the German Day cele bration, on Oct. 6, to meet such of the men as "fought mit Sigel" as may be in that section. The Southern democratic lead ers and the Farmers Alliance are not on very loving terms just now, but that will not prevent the mem bers of the alliance, in the South ern states from voting the demo cratic ticket, as usual. We have no hesitation in making the pre diction that not a single county in a Southern state will be carried for a third. party National ticket next year. Nica-raugua has refused to ad mit Italian immigrants without special proof their respectability. This is the severest blow of all. When a man is not respetable enough to go to one of those revo lutionizing and throat-cutting Cen tral American republics he has fallen pretty low in the scale of humanity. Oregonian. The president's tour in the East, although much shorter than that through the South and West last spring, is just as great a buccess. Everywhere he is enthusiastically met by the people, and everywhere he has something to say appropri ate to the place and the occasion. At present the city is advertis ing for bids for $25,000 in bonds, In addition, it is proposed to col lect $70,000 in taxes. In addition to that comes liscenses; the retail liquor liscenses have been doubled by the new charter from $200 to $400. Astorian. Wm. A. Spottswood died at Mo bile, Ala., the other day. He was a veteran of three wars, the Serai- uok .Mexican and Rebellion. . The postmaster-general denies the published statements that free delivery experiments in small towns are not a success. He caused an examination of the latest reports from these experi ments to be made, and found that they are succeeding beyond the most sanguine expectations. If Secretary Proctor, who has been appointed to serve out the unexpired term created by the resignation of Senator Edmunds, makes as good a senator as he has a cabinet officer Vermont will have no reason to complain. Oh no, the Ohio republicans are not enthusiastically supporting McKinley; it is a pertinent sign of republican disaffection that 30, 000 of them turned out to hear their candidate speak at his open ing meeting. It is said that Mrs. Parnell does her husbands typewriting. She knows his weak spot and doesn't propose to take any chances. General Hawley . says he has not been offered the appointment of secretary of war. The presi dent concurs the general's denial. The Dalles again suffers loss by fire, the fourth within a week.

Relieved Instant ly and Cured in Four Weeks by the Cutieura Remedies. I have a few words to say regarding the Cutioura Remedies. They have cured me in four weeks time from a Skin and Blood Disease which I have had for over three years. At certain times my skin would be very sore, and always kept crackinjr and peelingr off. in white scales. In cold weather my face was one mass of scales. When in the cold air the pain was intense; it would almost bring tears to my eyes, and my blood also being in a poor condition with a loss of hair. I have tried every known remedy that was recommended to me, but it was of no use, and give me very little benetit. So, hearing of your Cutieura Remedies, I concluded to give them a trial. The first application gave almost instant relief. In a few weeks time I found myself cured, and I am thankful for what they have done for me. Your Cutieura Remedies are a blissing to those who may have the opportunity to use them. I can recommend them to anyone. EDMUND KERAS, 2704 J Union Ave., Chicago, 111.
