The pur chase of the railroads by the gov ernment would cost $10,000,000, 000. We have been nearly twenty-eight years trying to pay off a war debt that was originally about a quarter of this sum, and we have only paid off a little more than half of it. 01 course, we will nev er consent to burden the people with any such enormous debt as that contemplated by the proposi tion for government purchase of the railroads. The government -cannot in honor and honesty con-v-: fiscate the railroads, and the peo ple cannot afford to buy and oper ate them. The government oper ation of railroads would so increase the number of government officials, high and low, and employes, that it would be impossiblo to dislodge a corrupt administration save by revolution. The sub-treasury bill was made the subject ot unanimously adverse report in this congress. It is in violation of the constitution; it is class legislation; it would lend the money of the whole people on doubtful collateral to farmers. People having a particular kind of property to deposit could get money at 1 per cent, from the gov ernment and let it at a higher rate to other persons. If there should be a reduction in the value of the goods after they are stored below 80 per cent., the govern ment would lose; if the value in creased, the government would get none of the profit. :' Concerning this scheme Demo cratic Congressman McMillin said: "The inauguration of the scheme would be the speculator's delight. He could carry $470,000 worth of wheat with less than $95,000 cash, and pay " the government only 1 per cent' interest. The great in crease in the number of officials would make it almost impossible to dislodge a corrupt administra tion. ; No provision is made for the redemption of the many mil lions to be issued under the bill and the banks would have power to force the destruction of any part of the government money." The government of the United States has not the slightest shadow of right to lend the money of the people to any person or. class persons for the benefit of their private business; the government can appropriate public money for objects that stand for the public weal; the government can lend the credit of the nation to aid the completion of a vast transconti uental railroad, .like the Union Pacific, or a work of great national consequence, like Nicaragua canal it may subsidize lines of ocean steamers to the end of increasing the ereneral trade' of the " nation nd building up its commercial marine interests in our great fight with foreign countries for the trade of the world, and on the same broad principle of nationa! advantage it may help the world's fair, since this gigantic enterprise is of vast advantage to the pros reritv and eeneral welfare of the whole people, but the United 6tates cannot lend a dollar to any individual or class of individuals to help them in the transaction of Drivate business;' to increase its gains or limit its fesses; nor can the United States issue legal ten ders, which are a forced loan from the whole people, for " the benefit of any private . business, qr any particular class of people. The people's' party begin wrong to accomplish anything; they should begin by upsetting or evis cerating the --constitution-"of- the United States rand completely changing our form of -government from that of a government of in dividualism ".wfeich'-governs best when jt governs leait," to a gov ernment of patT&alism or 6tate socialism. l. Under thf constitutional mon arehiCsEurope the drift to pa- j tciBftlssnknd State socialism is natural, because under absolute despotism the people had been accustomed to have the state con fiscate the individualism of the citizen, his- liberty, his life, his property, his freedom of choice to live and move and enjoy his be ing, but the United States began a new departure from despotism; it stepped forward and rested its new experiment upon individual ism instead of paternalism for suc cess, and because of this stimulus to the development of self-reliant, self-governing individualism rather than the paternalism and state so cialism of Europe, we have in a century passed all other people in the race for prosperity, peace and happiness. The people's party legislation proposes that we shall retrace our steps; we shall surrender all we have gained and substitute for the individualism that has made America great, the paternalism that has made Europe's sighing millions anxious to find under our banner a freedom and a felicity that is unknown and unattainable under their own flag. In a word the people,s party is "Looking Backwards" when every true American looks up and not down; forward and not back, and while ready to lend another a hand believes in self-support, self development, the survival of the fittest by individual effort, rather than in the survival of the unfit test through the systematic pater nalism and statu socialism that seems to be the impending fate of Europe. Seattle P-I. What 6hall we do to be saved ? This is an old question, but one that the people of the United States must ask themselves seri ously. Demagogy is rampant, and the ignorant and the unfortunate and are being made to believe that they are wronged and oppressed, are being taught that the remedy they must seek is that of lawless ness and anarchy, the reign of mob rule. It is another sin that the democratic party has laid upon its soul, that it encourages this spirit of rebellion against social order in its eager chase after votes. Some of the leading democratic journals have talked honestly about the labor riots that have occurred, and have joined with the republi can press in condemning lawless ness and scouting as utterly absurd and inequitable the idea that any set of men have a right to dictate to others how they should manage their business or whom they should employ, or to prevent by force the employment of men not belong ing to their combination. These papers deserve the more credit that they place the good of society higher than mere party advantage and to that extent break , away from their party. But there are prominent leaders in the demo cratic party and influential papers, some of them in our own state, that have turned their backs upon the duty they well know they owe to society, and have encouraged the men who have committed deeds of lawlessness and assert the doctrine of the supremacy through force of organized labor. These papers and alleged statesmen saw in the tragedies at Homestead and Cceur d'Alene, 'and the out break at Buffalo only a chance to secure democratic votes by dema gogic utterances, and were suffici ently despicable to seize the oppor tunity and make, the most of . it. With such statesmen and public educators matters may well be ex pected to become worse and worse until disaster overtakes the nation. It is important to consider what we snail do to be saved lrom the natural result of such teachings, without having to correct them with powder and bullets. There is but one way, and that is for the belter element of the nation reso- utely to set its face . against such anarchistic doctrines and vote next November against the party that endeavors to 1 get into power by catering to the element that sup ports them.

Powder is a necessity, both in love and war. One can't wash a stain from honor with benzine. It is sometimes a pleasure to hear a man be quiet. Medicine is often a profession without much practice. Every man has too much faith in other men's faith in him. Weep with some people, and they will tell you all they know You can't tell what the average man thinks by what he says. The man of means is not very frequently the man of mercy. One can be happy with a very little, and miserable on almost nothing. It requires only a tew little wor- riments to make a great big trouble, If a man wants to know how silly he is, he has only to ask his wife; she knows. If we realized how very mean we are, we should all want to be objects of charity. Every man at some time in his life is made bait of by the devil to catch some other man. Of - course man is greater than woman, but it is funny to see him try to quiet a crying baby. Sun day Mercury, . If some of those farmers,who in speaking of the Oregon state agri cultural college, treat that institu tion with a sort of contemptuous sneer, and still dins to the belief that it is only an agricultural col lege in theory, of no practical ben efit to the agricultural community except as a burden of taxation to keep a lot of professors on fat sal aries, would only take the trouble to visit that institution they might learn something of rea practical value to them;, if they would attend the farmers' insti tutes, and read the bulletins sen t out under the direction of the ex periment station they might gain some valuable pointers that would assist them to raise the mortgages from off their farms. They only show ignorance by such assertions. The agricultural college is doing more to advance farming and ag ricultural interests in this state and places them upon a more pay ing financial basis than the farm ers themselves, yet there are peo pie in every community who cf Q nrl in thoir nurn liorfir Kw t rri r cr to throw cold water upon every public institution or enterprise started or to be maintained among them. It seems to be second na ture to them to kick. The commission men of Port land are said to anxiously hunting the country over for a supply of apples for , the coming season's trade. The apple crop of this sec tion is phenomenally small this year and there will be no trouble about a market for good, sound apples. Quite a number of apples are coming into market now but they come in all mixed up, big and little, sound and spotted, in the same lot, and lail to present an attractive appearance. If fruit producers could only turn . them selves into fruit buyers for a short time they would appreciate the value of attractive packing. Rural Northwest.

"Repeal the McKinley law," was the expressed purpose of the democracy one year ago yet, with 150 majority in the house, the party made no attempt to re peal the act, which they declare is 'the sum of all villainies." It would have been just as easy to pass a bill wiping out "the mon strous iniquity" as one putting wool on the free list, but none of the trur-reat democratic leaders had the hardihood to initiate the movement. The McKinley law has come to stay. It may be mod- ified in some particulars by a re. publican congress, as time -may; show the necessity ot the change, but it will never be repealed by a democratic congress. Statesman. Those croakers who were so free to predict the failure of the'Corval lis carriage factory when it began operations this spring, are begin ning to awake to the fact.that the factory is here to stay. The com pany is operating upon a solid financial footing and is making money every day , the factory is run. The demand for their maim tactured vehicles is increasing even beyond the expectations ol the stockholders. Forty to titty mechanics have' been given em ployment during the summer, and the force will probably be increas edtoone hundred within another month. Oorvallis is surely to be congratulated for having secured the location of a tactory of such magnitude here. A man in Jamestown, - N. Y tells Hoard's Dairyman that his son, a city-bre-l youlii, uj..; grad uating from the agricultural de partment of Cornell university, had no difficulty in securing a good po sition in charge of a valuable herd mis illustrates tne lacl that it is possible to secure practical know! edge at an agricultural college ot a valuable character. Thoroughly trained men to take charge of stock farms, creameries and fruit iarms are neeaeu ana tne time is coming when the value of trained men in such positions will be more thoroughly appreciated than it now is. Where is there a county in the state that could get up a better county fair than. Benton county? With our vast agricultural and hor ticultural resources, and the assi tance of the stale agricultural college, Benton county, - could have a fair that would be the ad miration of all visitors. Let some one start the ball rolling and let us have a fair next year. The seat of a Corvallis alderman is not an enviable one just at the present time. He must be a man 01 greaf loruiuae it ne survives A .

The exhibit of the state agricul tural college and the Corval lis carriage factory at the state fair and the Portland industrial expo sition will attract t he eyes of visit ors from all parts of the country. kpii It will be a great advertisement for Corvallis, ; v ?

They are eye sores to visitors as well as to residents. Would not 1 l. ; j " a 1 j luc ,ue"'u "- bavi"S insurance pay for the investment, to say nothing of the increase in value of the property. Corvallis is becoming an edu- ; cational town.
