The: democratic congress continues-to
work hard at doing nothing
hut the people must foot the bills.
The nomination of William G.
Gilbert of Oregon, as United States
judge for the ninth judicial district
has been confirmed.
" The McKinley bill lest England
$22,000,000 - worth of trade last
year, and in consequence our Brit
ish cousins are not feeling jubilant.
- The farmers can enter a talking
match with any of them. A
windier convention was never held
in Oregon than that of the people's
party this week. Ex.
Some notion of the extent of the
baseball business can be gathered
from the fact that the factories in
Philadelphia use 100 horse hides a
week to make covers for balls.
The grand total of charitable be
quests in England during 1891,
excluding Baron llirsch's benefac
tions, was $15,000,000, as against
$11,500,000 during the preceding
year.
The Mercury says: David B.
Hill may visit Oregon, lie will be
a curiosity and as such will be
viewed by Oregon democrats with
no little interest. But wait till he
mentions Cleveland's name (if he
dare do it)!
The sugar bounties during the
past year amounted to $7,500,000,
and the people saved $00,000,000
on their sugar purchases. That is
to say, republican tariff reform was
worth $52,000,000 to the country,
exclusive of the sum paid for the
protection of domestic producers.
The Florence West thus ex
presses itself for the reelection of
Hermann : By the time one single
individual, of recent coming to
Florence, talks more of defeating
Hon. Binger Hermann for congress
the people will surely have lost all
patience with him. A man who
will strain his political prejudices
to the point of voting against his
town's interests, ought to appeal
to some authority for a Jittle com
mon sense.
John Wanamakeu, the Philadel
phia merchant, says that during
the ten days previous to Christmas
His sales covered about $100,000 a
day. so that the grand total for the
ten days was only a few dollars
tinder a million. He adds: tlI
spend $5000 a week in advertising,
and I pay a skillful man a former
editor, and a good one $1000 a
month to do it for me. I make
money by it. Advertising is the
leverage with which this store has
been raised up. 1 do not see how
any large and successful business
caiv be done without liberal adver
tising." From all parts of the northwest
come reports that nurserymen are
increasing their stock; and enlarg
ing their nurseries, while new nur
series are springing up on every
hand. 4 Yet with all this increase
many have a large part of their
stock engaged and the chances are
that notwithstanding this great in
crease in stock there will be none
left by the time the season is over.
This is a great fruit country and
thousands of acres will be set in
trees within the next five years.
There is not a week but brings
rumors of either revolution in, or
war among, the Central American
states. There is a lesson in this
for us that we must elevate the
standard of our popular education,
because an educated and intelli
gent voting population constitutes
the only safeguard of a popular
form of government and is the
only thing that can give it perpe
tuity. Ignorance leads to tyranny
and m our case it would be the
tyranny ot a mob, which is even
worse than the tyranny of a
(despotic ruler.
The Washington correspondent
ef the Hartford Courant gives no
credit to Senator Hill for declining
that portion of his salary which
Aecrued before he took the oath of
nice. He says, "The money re:
inains in the custody of the senate
subject to his order, -and the order
of has heirs, so long as time shall
last and the government shall ex
ist, unless Mr. Hill himself shall
direct that it be covered into the
treasury.. The trick to which Sen
ator Hill has resorted is one which
was familiar in the days of the sal
ary grab." It will be interesting
to note whether Hill ever orders
it covered back into the treasury.
.Probably be- proposes to wait a
year or two, then quietly draw it,
jind bestow it safely in the depths
of his own pocket. '
RIVER AND HARBOR.
The Ui ei;umaii's Washing
on
correspondent says the river' and
habor bill is bow completed and
is ordered reported to the house.
Representative Hermann secures
great results for Oregon. His slate
nggregatt's more appropriations
than any state in the Union, with
the excexition of .New York. Ihe
great canal and locks at the Cas
cades of the Columbia receives
nearly $500,000 and is placed un
der the contract system for com
pletion, the secretary of war being
authorized to contract for the
whole work, lor which $1,310,000
is estimated, exclusive of the sum
now allowed in the present bill,
which becomes immediately avail
able. Under the contract S3rstem
it is expected that ships can pass
through the Cascade canal and
locks of the Columbia within two
years. Mr. Hermann made a gal
lant and very persistent as well
as discreet struggle for the con
cession to his state. He firmly
insisted that if like privileges were
bestowed on any other great works
of the nation, it must now be un
derstood that the Cascade locks
should be counted in. He stub
bornly resisted any other arrange
ment. the river and harbor bill.
This policy will hereafter take
the Cascades canal out of the river
and harbor bill, and Mr. Hermann
thinks in the ne.xt congress the
permanent works at the dalles
and Celilo rapids can be under
taken and also placed under con
tract, unless the senate should
come to the rescue now when the
present river and harbor bill
reaches that body. No separate
bill can possibly pass the house,
in view of the immense sum which
is now given Oregon in the gen
eral bill. The items as now se
cured in the bill for Oregon are as
follows:
Columbia river at the Casc.icles. . . .$435,000
Mouth of the Columbia 300,000
Coos Bay 210,000
Yaqaiua Biy 75,000
Siuslaw river 10,000
Tillamook Bay 15,000
Lower Willamette and Columbia.. 50,000
Coquille jetty 25,000
Upper Coquille river 5,000
Yamhill river to McMinnville 3,000
Upper Columbia and Snake river 159,000
Willamette river to Eugene City,
with a commencement of the
special work at Oswego, Clacka
mas iiapids, Corvallis, Independ
ence and Salem 30,000
Provision is also made in the
bill for the examination by the war
department with a view of im
provement of Alsea river in Benton
county, of Chstco river in Curry
county; of Rogue river, from
Grants Pass to the sea, in Jose
phine and Curry counties; of the
Nestucca river in Tillamook coun
ty; of Coos river in Coos county,
and for the construction of a lock
and dam in the Yamhill river at
Lafayette, in Yamhill county.
Mr. Hermann hopes to see the
Siuslaw appropriation increased.
Upon this itexn the fight in the
committee was to reject the pro
ject entirely, and it was a triumph
to obtain the present allowance.
Since the house committee has
allowed so much for Oregon, a
smaller margin will be allowed the
Oregon senators to . increase the
appropriations for the lesser proT
jects, which usually have the great
est difficulty for recognition; and
liberality. The great demand is
to complete the large works first
and, benefit the greatest .com
merce. This position, however, is
that of the representatives of the
east, where the greater commerce
exists. Mr. Hermann says when
the senate has added even the
most jiecessary increases to the
house items, it will still leave Ore
gon with a larger appropriation
than was ever before obtained.
In the present bill the Willamette
river receives a larger allowance
than was ever before secured for it.
It is now nearly treble that of the
last congress. The mouth of the
Columbia is also completed and
does not require much, but obtains
a larger percentage of the amount
recommended than any other.
Yaquina bay requires much less
than before, and receives a good
percentage. A new project is pro
posed here. Coos bay has entered
upon a large project and obtains
a generous allowance. The full
amount for Yamhill river was
given in order to remove all the
temporary obstructions from its
mouth to McMinnville.
Oregon's total appropriations.
The total allowance now for
Oregon is $1,170,000 and nearly
equals that, of the "billion dollar
congress," although the aggregate
of the present bill, which is $20,-,
124,000, or less than that of the
last bill as it was reported from
the river and harbor committee.
Then it was $20,932,445. The
state of Washington receives an
aggregate allowance of $84,000, as
against $19,000 of last congress.
Mexico is calling for our corn.
The St. .Louis merchants' exchange
a few days ago, called for 18,000
bushels of corn for shipment to
Mexico, the first transaction" of -the
kind ever made. During former
years Mexico has raised an ample
corn crop, but last season the crop
failed and the -United States has
been called upon to supply the de-1
ficiency. "
A POINTEit.
Good judgment and the rules of
propriety should prompt a news
paper man to hew to the line, and
not even by indirection invade an
adjoining judicial district. Sug
gestions are almost always out ol
ordf r at least, they are so-ejVnsid
ered. We feel confident that our
republican brethren of the third
district are well able to look alter
the personal of their judgeship and
see that clean republicanism shall
prevail.
The third district, from a repub
lican standpoint, is very fortunate,
indeed, in possessing strong judi
cial limber. Burnett and rord of
Salem, McCain of Yamhill, Wol
verton, Hewitt and Blackburn of
Linn, besides many others, are all
able and worthy. We presume
possibly on the long standing of
the Gazette as a straight up-and
down exponent of republican prin
ciples when we modestly make
the suggestion that there is not a
single one of the learned gentle
men named whose republicanism
has ever been below low water
mark. It may be true no one of
these gentlemen has an ambition
in that direction. We believe in
none of this low water mark kind
of republicanism or in solidifying
around one whose alleigance is ac
tive to the different sops isms,
alliances, etc. in these dajTs rid
den for political and judicial pre
ferrment. These old calamity
breeders should be sat down upon
hard. The republican party in its
onward march cannot Gater to
those mischief makers who follow
in the wake of all the prevailing
issues, and who are more fre
quently found in the enemy's camp
than our own.
The republican party of the
third district, as regards judgeship,
ought not in decency be ridden for
revenue purposes only. That is
getting to be an old, old game.
Policy, expediency and soft solder
only feed disease and is no part of
republican doctrine; its use is get
ting to Jbe old in certain places.
Years ago we read the Arabian
Nights, and remember the old
man of the sea and we commend
the story as containing material
for thought to our brethren of the
third district.
Reward should be for merit,
not perverseness.
PEOPLE'S PARTY PL A TFORAI.
The platform of the people's
party, as adopted at Oregon City,
embraces the following leading
features. It demands direct loan
by the government at 2 per cent.,
tree and unlimited coinage of sil
ver, increased circulating medium
to $50 per capita, postal saving
banks, no alien land owners, cor
poration ownership restricted to
actual land used, government own
ership of railroads, abolishment of
railroad commission aiur maximum
rate, , reducing rates one-third,
government ownership of tel
egraph and telephone lines, im
provement of Columbia river by
buildir.g parallel railroad to be
operated by the government.
The only tax for the support of
the government, the 2 per cent on
loans by the government and grad
uated land tax- No exemption
for indebtedness without corres
ponding rendering of taxable
credit, liquor sold by state agent
and not drank within sixty feet of
purchase place, no license by
national government, equal suff
rage, anti-Chinese, state publish
school books, county officers re
slricted to salary, eight hours a
day's labor in factories; mines and
shops. Reorganize Knights of
Labor labels. Against Pinkertou
detectives. Against Nicaragua
canal, unless owned by the govern
ment operated at cost; direct vote
for all officers. To issue legal ten
der notes and pay Union soldiers
the loss occasioned by depreciated
currency.
A statistician has established
that erery worker in an American
factory consumes over $300 worth
of agricultural produce a year,
while the English workingmau
under the' most favorable circum
stances does not use more than
$4.42 worth annually of the pro
ducts of American farms The
obvious deduction from this fact is
that the American farmer derives
about twenty times as much bene
fit from having manufacturing
done abroad, because the Ameri
can factory hand is a twenty times
better customer than the English
worker, who takes more American
farm products than any other for
eign workingman..
If the democrats must-Jiave
i'dirt-cheap". clothing whydon't
they-provide for its manufacture
by our convict labor, instead of
sending our money abroad to pay
foreign pauper labor for the work?
The republican party is opposed
to labor competition with either
convicts, pa uvei'toir slaves.
Reciprocity; gives us as 'much
oif" more, as'-we give . in exchange
for it." Free trade would seize a
large share of our best market at
borne and give us nothing in exchange.
NOTES FOR WOAtEX. '
.The teachers instute was lull of
interest, and attention never flag
ged as subject after subject was
introduced, that of hygienic physi
ology was warmly discussed. It
was presented by Mrs. Preident
Keezel of Philomath who made
several good points. That the
very parents who declare that they
can teach everything "of the kind
lhaHs requisite to their children
are the ones who say that they
never learned phvsiology and such
a study is not necessary. Proiessor
Brownson of McMinnville' spoke
strongly on the evils of the cigar
ette and urged the teachers to set
their laces against the habit. An
other Prof, said that a practical
illustration was worth oceans of
talk, and that a few simple chem
ical experiments with nicotine
and alcohol had worked wonders
in his school.
Mr.. Riggs, state supt. of the W.
C. T. U., wiih quite a number ot
the friends of the cause, were en
tertained Tuesday evening by Mrs.
F. Berchtold. Mrs. Riggs spoke
on this subject and also about the
home for unfortunate women
which was founded in Portland by
the W. C. T. U. women. Of this
we will hear more at length in the
near future.
Lady Henry Somerset will soon
return to England, but will still
continue her articles for the Union
Signal. Would that we might
transplant so choice a flower to our
fair American climate and soil.
Mrs. Riggs says that women
might as well be ordained as
ministers for they will preach
without ordination. One hundred
and six pulpits were filled jn Bos
ton by women attending the
worlds W. C. T. U. convention.
Women will some day be emanci
pated. '
Women have full suffrage in
Wyoming, municipal suffrage in
Kansas and school suffrage in the
following states and territories:
Arizona, Colorado, Delaware,
Idaho, Illinois, Kansas Kentucky,
Massachusetts, Michigan, Minn
esota. Montana. Nebraska. New
Hampshire, New Jersey, New
York, North Dakota, Oklahoma,
Oregon, South Dakota, Vermont,
Washington, Wisconsin, and
Wvoming. In some of these
states woman has unrestricted suf
frage. In other the right is
more or less restricted. E. M. S.
The Washington correspondent
of the New York Herald has re
cently furnished that paper with a
table made up of the interviews
with leadink men from all over
the Union, which purports to show
how the delegates to the national
democratic convention will vote as
between Cleveland, Hill and some
western man. The table gives
Cleveland 265, Hill 2S5 and. the
western man 350:. Alaska's two
votes not being counted. Under
the two-thirds rule, which pre
vails in democratic conventions,
COO votes will be necessary for a
choice, and neither of the New
ifork men, it is thought, can get
them. Ol the western men, Pal
mer, of Illinois, Gray, of Indiana,
Boies, of Iowa, and Carlisle, ol
Kentucky, have the best chances
Senator Dolph's bill, author
izing the payment of $1.25 per
acre to settlers on the even num
ber sections within the forfeiture
land grants of Oregon and Wash
ington, passed the senate Tuesday
by a strong party vote. Every
democrat in the senate recorded
himself as being against restoring
these people the money they had
paid for their lands, beleivingthey
were to receive railroad benefits,
now that the lands are forfeited
and become a part of the public
domain and are sold at $1.25 per
acre,, while the older settlers and
the pioneers were compelled to
pay t wice that amount for those
they own.
Mayor Mason, of Portland, has
been on a trip to San Francisco.
He says of Portland: "We may
complain of the want of enterprise
here, but we have acres of it where
San Francisco has none." The
worn out theme of Oregon moss
backism will be a chestnut after
a while. Oregon will be the storm
center of progress for the next
twenty years.
