TAXTGJ2T BY DEFEAT.
Grover Cleveland has been
chastened by adversity. lie is a
cleverer politician than he was
lour years ago. His letter of ac
ceptance is .a shrewder bid for
votes than he ever bethought him
to construct, when he believed
that he bestrode the democratic
party like a colossus and need con
sult no will but his own. He has
hobnobbed with Senator Hill's
friends to good purpose. Ilis ut
terance on the tariff has all the
apparent daplicity and real single
ness of purpose of the Brooklyn
speech. lie seems to endorse the
spirit of the Chicago platform by
the repetition of the state academ
ic platitudes of his message of
1887, only to close with positive
assurance that his conception of
tariff reform ends with the placing
of raw materials on the free list;
that he will conserve carefully the
interests of his friends the manu
facturers and banish ;the specter
of impossible free trade" to the
farmer and miner of the wes'.
This is the only thing Cleveland
could say on the tariff question,
without sacrificing in advance the
votes of states necessary to his
election, and he says it with as lit
tle peremptoriness as is consistent
with intelligible speech. Still he
can conceal Irom no one that it is
flat repudiation of the Chicago
platform, which declares all pro
tection a fraud, and the levying
of duties in) excess of the actual
needs of revenue a violation of the
constitution. The letter must be
regarded as a deliberate surrender
of the hope of gains from that part
of the country which is thought to
desire tariff for revenue only, and
as a declaration of purpose to rely
upon the eastern manufacturing
states for his election.
Senator Hill's influence is to De
detected in the paragraph of the
letter relating to silver coinage.
That clever politician invented the
absurd and impossible notion of a
6ilver dollar equal in intrinsic value
at ail times to the gold dollar,
which was eagerly adopted by all
the democratic platforms, and has
been accepted at last by Mr.
Cleveland, in. place of the clean
cut and honest declarations of his
former deliverances upon this sub
ject. For the rest, the letter does its
best to satisfy everybody. He
apologizes for the most creditable
acts of his former administration,
to conciliate the soldier vote, by a
declaration in'favor of liberal pen
sions. He truckles to the worst
element in his party by inserting
the plea for the personal liberty
of the liquor seller, whose absence
cost him so many votes in New
York four years ago. He en
courages the project of carrying
Illinois and Wisconsin for the
democrats on the school question
by craftily qualified condemnation
of compulsory education. He of
fers the New York'Sun the olive
branch of a blow at the force bill
and tickles the ears of the rau
wumps witn empty woras in
praise ot a civil service reform
On subjects not an issue of party
politics, Mr. Cleveland speaks
with his old-time clearness and
vigor. His approval of the Nica
ragua canal enterprise, of judicious
restriction of immigration, and of
the world's fair enterprise, leaves
nothing to be desired. For the
most part, however, the letter is
the most politic utterance of Mr
Cleveland's life. It proves that he
is capable of learning by defeat.

THE ASTORIA RAILROAD.
A gentleman well known in busi
ness circles, who returned from
Astoria recently, said to a Tele
gram reporter the indications were
that the Astoria railroad enterprise
was about to collapse. He said:
'The trouble is a lack of funds.
From ten to fifteen miles of the
road have been graded, and alto
gether about $300,000 expended.
But I learn that the contractors
refuse to go ahead until more
money is in sight. The contractors
have done their work well, and
have paid for labor and material.
I find that the report of the South
ern Pacific being back of the en
terprise is not generally believed.
The current impression is that the
projectors of the enterprise bit off
more than they can chew. It is a
bad time to sell railway bonds in
the eastern markets.
The real estate boom which the
projectors of the enterprise ex
pected to precipitate didn't show
up. It flattened out early. Cap
iai" a javei is auout me only man
who has pulled anything out
tne pot, and he was not a sub
scriber to the railroad subsidy
Luck just hit him off-hand. He
unloaded his property at a bi
price ana got over $100,000 of it
in cash. It will be a great mis
fortune for Astoria to have it
railroad enterprise nipped in the
bud, but perhaps new hands wil
take iiold of it and put it through
some day." Telegram.

The foreign policy of the present
republican administration did, and
in spite of the high duties and al
the difficulties attending the sud
den revival of a long-prohibited
trade in an officially slandered ar
tide, which the people had been
taught to believe dangerous
in
the few months that have elapsed
this new market for the western
farmers had amounted to over $2,

haps that is why the democratic
.convention amiably remarked in
its platform that the republican

the country has grown steadily
greater and more prosperous for
thirty years fosters no industry
so much as that of the sheriff.

THE WOOL INTEREST.
At a meeting of the farmers' in
stilute during the late state fair
Hon. John Minto delivered an ad
dress on the sheep industry of this
coast and of Oregon in particular,
Although the audience was limit
ed, owing to the various attrac
tions of the lair, Mr. Minto's able
and exhaustive address will have
the wide circulation that it de
serves, as it is printed in lull in
the Oregonian of the 23d iust
After forty-three years of experi
ence in the business Mr. Minto de
dares, in his address, that, given
the care and labor and stable pro
tective laws, lie Knows ot no
stock interest, unless it is that of
the dairy, which at present prom
lses better than the production of
wool and mutton. But if the
Cleveland and Springer policy is
adopted the sheep interest of the
whole country will be practically
ruined. Statesman.
I defy the man in any degree
conversant with the history, in any
degree acquainted with the annals
of this country from 1787 to 1789,
when the constitution was adopt
ed, to say that protection of Amer
ican labor and industry was not a
leading, I might almost say the
leading motive south as well as
north, for the formation of the
new government. Without that
provision in the constitution it
nover could have been adopted.

THE SILO.
' During the first night of the far
mers' institute, Professor French,
of the agricultural college, spoke
on the adaptability of the silo to
Oregon. He said that there was
no better state in the Union for
silos than Oregon, because they
can be used to keen up a healthful
ration during the dry season and
during the wet season. There'
should be two silos and use clover
for summer feed, and corn for
winter feed, tints carrying through
the whole year. Corn silage makes
a complete ration alone. During
experiments at the college, 8 J tons
of ensilage was harvested per acre
and this with the common grain
feed kept up the flow of milk all
season. The silo which is just be
ing emptied of clover at the col
lege will bo filled with corn in a
few weeks. Clover can be put up
without running through the cut
ter if one so desires, and can be
placed in the silo at a cost of 50cts
per ton. Bad weather makes no
difference, as water does not hurt
the clover. If anything, the water
helps it, especially in dry weather.
The silo can be made more sub
stantial by building round, the
boards thus acting as braces and
making it stronger. There isnc
where that the silo can be con
structed more cheaply tlian in
Oregon, because there are no ter
rible hard freezes to injure the
silage.
THE SINGLE-TRACK SYSTEM.
The exhibit in exposition
which excites most interest
ha
and
most comment is the queer-look
in? sinffle-track locomotive. The
o e-
novelty of the machine attracts at
tention while many are interested
in the problem of cheaper railway
const rnption. The railroads ar
the great developing agencies
of
the country, and they are the pro
moters of a higher civilization
But it reauires an enormous sum
of money to build a railroad
any length, and, as a rule, they
are not paying investments. Bu
tew roads in the country today
give a direct return on the money
invested in them. The profits of
railroad building are mainly in the
development of the country
tln-ourh which thev pass. Yet
o v -
when they are once built, they
have to be maintained and oper
ated. Hence it becomes an im
oortant factor to cheapen the cost
of construction and operation.
The single-track idea is not
new one. There have been sev
eral patents issued on the single
track system, but so far the inven
tions have not successfully materi
alized: An Oregon inventor, who
has given the system a thorough
study, now claims to have perfect
ed the system, and proposes to
make a practical test of it. If his
claim is well founded it will pro
duce a revolution in railroad
building. Chewing the bag is not
proof of th3 pudding, 60 ar
ments have been made with the
Portland & Mount Hood Railway
company to put down a mile or
two of the single track and allow
Mr. Mahana to make a practical
test of his invention. If it works
well, that will settle the whole
question.
The advantages claimed for the
single-track system are that it in
creases speed, it climbs better over
steep grades, a ten-ton engine will
haul as much as a sixty-ton engine
of the old style, and that the road
construction and equipment will
be lessened by one-half. If the
experiment proves a success, rail
roads will come into more common
use than turnpikes. Telegram.
Thebe has been nearly as great
a run on "cholera," says an ex
change, in the newspapers as there
was of la grippe. Great is jour
nalism as a spreader and magni
fier of epidemics, but it could easi-

The state of Washington, de
spite dull times and a spirit of de
pression compared with the ex
citement of two years ago, is forg
ing ahead, but still the report of
the state auditor shows a peculiar
condition of affairs. The value of
real estate has decreased from
$286,347,371 in 1891, to $243,
270,631 in 1892, and the personal
property from $52,148,599 to $38,
843,148. This does not mean that
the state is really going backward,
but that the estimates of 1891
were founded on the boom prices,
while those of 1892 represent
steady prices.

BABY FOUR WEEKS OLD
Distressing Skin Disease from Birth.
Cured In 5 Weeks. Made
Healthy and Beautiful by
Cutlcura Remedies.
My baby boy had been suffering from birth with
tome sort of an eruption. The doctors called it
eczema. Ilia little neck was one raw and exposed
mass -or tea, in
flamed flesh. Bis
arms and across and
under his thighs,
wherever the fat
flesh made a fold,
were jnst the same.
For four weeks after
his birth he suffered
with this eruption,
and until I got Cu
ticura Remedies,
there was little sleep
for any -one. In rive
weeks he was com
pletely cured. He
was nine weeks old February 1st, and you otigbt
to see his skin now, smooth, even, and a beautiful
pink and white color, lie is as henlthy as he can
be. The Cuticuba Resolvent has given him
tone, vigor and strength. I enclose his portrait.
Thanks to the famous Cuticuba Remedies. They
cannot be spoken of too highly, they have done all
that has been claimed for them.

From the age of two months my baby 'suffered
