GIVE US ASSURANCE.
The Hillsboro Independent, after
referring to the Oresonian's re
marks on the financial soun lness
of Portland, says: "There is an
other thing Portland can do to re
store confidence and that is to give
out in some authoritative way that
Ihere will be a price for wheat this
fall. It is important that assur
ance of a market be made." , If
the Independent editor did -not
say can " give out in some author
itative way that there will be a
price for wheat this fall," we
hould suppose that he were " talk
ing through his hat," as the ex-
- pression goes. Aiier an, uie euit
or is not alone in his supposition
lhat a community, or a state, or a
natiftn can raise itself by its own
boot-straps. Independent action
is commendable; but there is a
limit to its possibilities. The Port
land board of trade represents
l'ortland in a commercial way and
it is no doubt that body which the
ditor of the Independent would
liave give the required assurance.
Jmv fhera nra fin inanv who en
tertain notions similar to those of
this gentleman, it would perhaps
be the proper thing for lhat organ
ization to pas a resolution declar
iing that this year's crop of wheat
shall sell for a dollar a bushel; or,
owing to the possibility of the res
olution being effective, the price
way better be placed at $1.50 per
Dushel. This would not be an im-
mnrfcratA demand, if successful.
and it would put us all out of debt
. jn a short time.
" !The democratic party evidently
had a similar scheme on a larger
scale in' mind when its representa
.itiTes.were giving such flattering
-nsciirnitpn nf htfpr t imps nrnvided
Cleveland were elected. If. not,
the Independent ought to suggest
to the next congress the advisabil
ity of that body making wheat a
legal tender. How easy it would
he forcongress to brand every
bushel sack of wheat with the
.American eagle and the words on
one side: " United States of Amer
ica, In God We Trust, Dollar and
a Hall." It might add to the legal
lender quality, to print, on the op
-posite side, a representation of the
. seoreiary of agriculture holding a
few straws of wheat in his talons.
The ' word M Liberty " could also
appropriately; be placed oa his
J It." ' !--. 1 ,1
somurero iiai-uuiiu.
While the plan would be open to
criticism on account of the fact
lhat the action of other countries
lias mnch to do with the adoption
of a valuable circulating medium
for the United States, it is certainly
as reasonable, in principle, as the
one now in operation for the pur
pose of keeping up the price of the
silver product. .
. Somebody in San Francisco pro
cesses to have information that an
unexpended balance of $25,000 of
the Oregon world's fair fund is to
be. used for the midwinter fair in
jSan Francisco." Probably there
'will be an unexpended balance,
but there is no authority to use it
for any purpose . except the speci
fic one for which the appropriation
was made. The commission would
regard the suggestion of 'divert
ing", the unexpended balance to
the fair at Sail Francisco as absurd.
Only the legislature could do that.

United States is but $70,000,000 a

to harvest $50,000,000 in corn this

FRANCE IN SIAM.
Newspaper reports have had
France and Siam upon the Verge
of war for some time, and the pres
ent outlook is not improved. This
one, like every other little misun-.
derslanding which has arisen, be
tween any of the countries of the
old world, threatens to iuvo've the
j whole of Euiope in war. An ulti-
miitutn sent by France to Siam,
according to one report, contains
the following term-:
First, a recognition of the rights
of Annam and Cambodia, on the
lelt or eastern bank of the Me
Kong river; second, the evacua
tion of the forls held there by the
Siamese within a month; third.
full satisfaction for various aggres
sions against Irene a ships ana
sailors on the Menam river; fourth,
the punishment of the culprits
and provision for the pecuniary in
demnity ot the victims ; fifth, an
indemnity of 2,000,000 francs for
various damages sustained by
French subjects, and sixth, the
immediate deposit of 3,000,000
francs to -guarantee the payment
of the fourth and fifth claims, or
the assignments of taxes in certain
districts in lieu of the deposit of
3,000,000 francs.
To give a better understanding
of the sisuation the following is
reprinted from the Oregonian:
"France has had a hold in Siam
during a long period. Her inter
course with that country began
three centuries ago, and has been
pushed by a policy of pretty steady
encroachment, resembling that of
England in India, but not so effect
ive, fcince the French have not the
combination of tact and firmness
which have made the English
successful In colonial aggression
"The French hold large prov
cesin Tonquin, Annam, Cocli
China, and Cambodia, and tl:
control the eastern seaboard
the country. On the western sd
board are the English, and on t
rre
north is China, between which
country anil oiam there are con
tinual difficulties. A country of
8,000,000 inhabitants, so situated.
is almost helpless for defense un
less me intruders nglit amonjr
themselves. Germany is also on
the scene, having obtained com
mercial concessions at Bangkok,
the capital of Siam, and the
French probably cannot pursue
their aggressions very far without
protest from their European rivals.
"The great river of the country
is the Mekong or Cambodia. The
French control the mouth of this
river and the couutry on both sides
of it for several hundred miles into
the interior. The river, though
2,000 miles in length,is not navi
gable very far, since the moun
tainous country comes down well
toward the coast, and the river
during (he greater part of its
course is a great mountain torrent.
Bankok is situated far from the
French dominions, in the south
western part of the kingdom, on
the river Menam, the second great
river of the country," some miles
from the sea. Cut off from the
sea on the east by the French and
on the west by the English, Siam
has only a southern seaboard of
short extent. There has been
some fighting on the Mekong be
tween the French and the Siamese
at the line of the disputed terri
tories. This locality seems io be
far up the Mekong, several hun
dred miles from its mouth. Siam
has a considerable standing army,
officered in part by Europeans,
and might be able to give the
French considerable trouble.
"Bangkok is quite a large city.
It is described as striking, alike
from its extent, the strange archi
tecture of its more important build
ings, and the 'gorgeous greenery'
of the trees with which it is pro
fusely interspersed. Many cf the
streets are traversed by canals,
while a large part of the popula
tion dwells in floating houseslhat
are moored along the sides of the of
river Menam. The couutry, for a
great extent," is analluviat delta,
intersected by nn-and branches
the" river;, wit ha 'great deal of rice
cultivation :All the ordinary build
ings of the city are very slight, but
there are temples and palaces of
more solid construction. The spires,
and iii 6ome cases the whole edi
fices, are covered with a gilding of
many-colored' mosaic of the most
grotesque description, while the
roofs are adorned with fantastic
ridges and gables. This city is said
to contain 500,000 inhabitants. .
"Full possession of this country
would give France a most import
ant addition to her colonial em
pire. That France should covet
such a country and allow no op
portunity to possess it escape her!
is not strange, for France, reduced
and humbled at home, naturally is
anxious toextend her power abroad.
But signs of international negotia
tions begin to appear, and very
probably the affair will terminate
without, a great "change in the situ
ation. Russia, however, seems to
be evincing some partiality for
France, and possibly ths spark that
will kindle the war for which all
Europe is prepared may be applied
in Asia." . .'
PROTECTION'S BEST DEFENSE.
In the current number of the
Fortnightly Review thera appears
an interesting article from the pen
of an English writer who under
takes to warn his countrymen
against entertaining too exagger
ated expectations as to the service
the Democratic party will render
British trade by excessive reduc
tions in the tariff. He starts out
with the assertion that a large
proportion of the manufacturing
and commercial population of
Great Britain were imbued last
year with the conviction that the
election of Mr. Cleveland would
remove every obstacle to the un
restricted importation of British
goods. lie then goes on to show
why it is unreasonable to expect
that the greatest market in the
world will be "once again lying at

adopt is out ol' the question. In
other words, protection has so vin
dicated itself as a national policy
lhat the free-traders, in the opin
ion of this English writer, dare not
proceed to the length their Eng
lish admirers and sympathizers ex
pected they would. He proceeds
to cite facts in substantiation of
his assertion lhat the protective
policy has won for itself a position
from which it will be very hard
for ths free-traders to dislodge it.
Among these facts is the striking
one that (he increase i'i our ex
ports and imports during the last
ten years has been greater than
can be shown as having occurred
in the same space of time iu any
country in the world.
The writer in the Fortnightly
Review thinks that such facts as
these will stand as an impregnable
defense of the policy England
would like to see overthrown for
her own selfish purposes. The ar
ticle in many ways bears out the
arguments, of the protectionists,
and is remarkable English testi
mony as to the success of a policy
our free-traders denounce as a
miserable failure. The Irish

MIDWINTER FAIR.
A San Francisco dispatch un
der date of Jul' 24th, says; "At
a meeting of the finance commit
tee of the mid-winter fair this af
ternoon Temporary Chairman
Easton announced that subscrip-
lions up to the present aggregate!
$250,000 and that he thought he
would be able to announce at (he
nuiss meeting on Wednesday night
that $350,000 have been collected.
The general expression of the com
mittee was that the fair is a cer
tainty. It is now simply a ques
tion of magnitude, which rests en
tirely upon the volume of the
funds. General Barnes said the
condition of things is exceedingly!
iavorable and that the question as
to whether (he lair shall lake
place has been answered m the af-
fermative.
"According (o reports here the
people of Oregon are taking a very
decided interest in the mid winter
fair. Today a letter was received
from Wm. II. Murray and W. C.
Quimby, of Portland, saying that
they had been assured by the
chamber of commerce, the board
of immigration, the mayor of Port
land, the managers of the Port
land industrial association and
bankers that a strong effort would
be made to have Oregon well rep
represented at the California fair.
It is proposed by them to bring
the Chicago exhibit direct from
Chicago to San Francisco and to
add to it exhibits from the indus
trial exposition now in Portland.
The state horticultural society has
a committee at work already.
They were to meet the governor
of Oregon on the day the letter
was written and they say that, al
though he opposed a large appro
priation for the Chicago fair, he
stated he would make no opposi
tion to (his one."

As viewed at the U. S. treasury,
the week began with brighter pros
pects financially. A number of
recently failed banks took the nec
essary steps to resume, and Comp
troller Eckles lent, them all the aid
possible. The First National bank
of Santa Anna, Cal., which re
sumed Saturday, received in de
posits $12,000, while the with
drawal amounted to onlv $6,000.
This is regarded in Washington as
an evidence that confidence is
practically restored on the Pacific
coast.
