I I Eugene City Guard. rlW'UKDAY AUOUat 15, mi. Teu Year' Work for Notlilnar. While tho country ha inerwiHed cnormoUHly in wealth in the hint ilocuilo, an tho et'iinuH bullt'tinB nhow, tho farm-workers huvo not reci'ivcd their Bhare of tho increase. They contribute a larger proitortion to tho annual increment than any other clans of prnons in tho land, for they not only HUpply tho food to a jMipuhition of 05,000,000, hut they furnish tho materials for three-fourths of our foreign com merce; but while they make others rich they remain jnwr. There was a time when an industrious, intel ligent farmer could hope, by Bteady work and good management, to grow rich, or, if not rich, at least indejiendent. But that time is past. There are wealthy manufac turers, HeeulatorB, lawyers, doctors und imlitieians to hs found by tho score, and even by the hundred, but rich farmers are as scarce as uliitit liluekhirds. In 1S80 the value of all farm pro ducts in tho country was a little over two billion dollars 12,218, 100,000 which, divided among the 7,070,000 hthoiib engaged in raising them, was a gingerly aver ago of less than MOO each. The net manufacturing product of the country for the samo year was nearly two billion ilollarf 11,973, 000,(KX) which, divided among the 2,732,000 jK'rsons engaged in mak ing it, gives over 700 to each. This hIiows that manufacturers paid more than twice as much to tho hand ns farming eleven years ago. Ami tho difference jx nti 1 1 greater now, for tho last census in dicates that the net manufacturing product of the country has increas ed to :M00,XX),(XX); that is, it is nearly a billion and a half more than it was in 1HH0. Hut tho en tire product of the country's farms has not probably increased in value a single dollar and ten chances to ono when tho statistics come out they will show that all farm crops in 1SS)0 were not worth as much as they were ten years ago. Albany Democrat: Tho greatest boom failure in tho history of tho world is probably that of Pasco. Keep your cyo on l'asco for only three seconds and you can bco the whole towu, an almost dejOTpuIated place, with u 15,(XX) school house in the midst and about half a dozen children to enter it. It makes one's eyeballs acho to watch tho spectacle. Tho bubble is burst, and it is time to quit making bub bles. NewMrt Times: Tho railroad commissioners have abolished tho special rates to students of tho Btate University. This, while pcr hnps legal, is not. just by a great deal. Tho railroad managers are more progressive and liberal than any law or men whoso duty it is to enforce that law. Tho almost daily occurrence of railroad disasters in tho United States, involving loss of life and maiming of many victims, leads to tho suspicion that duo care and caution are not exercised by rail road companies. Tho Oregon rail road commission is endeavoring to earn a small per cent, of its salary by making inquiry into the causes of disasters occurring within the state. They are likely to accom plish some good in this lino. A thorough insiH-etion of track, trestles ami bridges is needed. Not that of riding over tho road on a Pullman ear at twenty miles an hour, but a careful insertion by experienced railroad builders. The causo of female sud'rago has received a tomiorary backset in Australia. Tho legislative assem bly of New South Wales, by a vote of f)7 to 34, has rejected Sir Henry l'urkcs' motion in favor of extend ing the ballot to women. Tho trial of tho new American 1 '2-inch rilled cannon at tho prov ing grounds at Sandy Hook the other day proves that we are not behind tho times in tho manufac ture of big guns. With a small charge of jMiwder a projectile weigh ing a net ton was thrown five miles. With tho full charge the range of tho projectile will bo twelve miles. Tho fight is on Mwoen tho Sher man and Forakcr factions in Ohio, which adds rest to the gubernato rial fight in that state. Both these jKjliticians want the senatorship, but care little whether Major Mc Kinley is elect! governor or not. Oregon farmers now generally concede, having investigated the matter thoroughly, that no branch of soil tillage pays so well as the cultivation of fruts. The bounda ries of this state embrace a grand fruit country, which in time will become famous for its excellent hor ticultural products in immense quantities. Through this agency Oregon farmers may easily iy oil' their mortgages and henceforth laugh at usurers. Tho world's fair directors have leased a right of way that will en able every railroad in Chicago to enter the ex(oition grounds. This kills the Illinois Central niouoivlv of the exposition tratlic and places the directors on a footing where they can afford to dictate terms for traiuc. The New Commander. Cantain John Palmer, tho new commander-in-chief of the (1. A. It., wn born on Stuten Island March 22, 1842, and has a splendid war record. He served during the war in tho Ninety-first New York vol unteers, taking part in all its en gagements. Since the war he hob lrf.pn entracred in fresco naintingand decoration business at Albany, N. Y. As a member or the u. A. n., ho was for several times commander of Lew Uenedict post. He was elected commander of the rew York denartrnent. and in lSrJ was elected senior vice commander-in- chief, all of which important posi tions ho tilled with creun. no is said to be a forcible speaker and a model presiding oiucer. Mr. Blaine is worse. Mr. Maine is better. Mr. IJlaine is a candidate. Mr. Blaine is not a candidate. Mr. Blaine is for Harrison. Mr. Blaine is not for Harrison. Snrelv no one has cause to com plain at the dispatches regarding the l'rcmicr in reureineni. mere is something for everybody. The fact that the mayor of Coun cil I'.liifl'x wuntfl all former negro slaves fK'nsioned suggests tho ques tion, "Haven't they un insane asy lum in Iowa?" An idea may bo formed of tho vast extent of the western grain fields from the fact that tho Cen tral Vermont Propellors, in eonnec- ii v..: t ii I. lion wiiu me iviuuiim iupjiukh freight lino, via New London, have transported to tho west this season one hundred and eighty-five thous and bales of binder twine used in binding grain, ond are now engag ed on a contract of forty thousand WW Each bale contains six rolls or packages of twine, valued at six dollars per bale, llm twino is made from manilla or sisal grass. Durinir the fiscal year beginning June 30, 1801, the jteojile of this country will pay if 11,000,000 in minh from the treasury window to 4,072 iiersons who have not earned a single cent ot it. ut these, .ju are in Louisiana and the remaining 3,942 in tho Vermont neighbor hood. Every man of them is the receiver of Btolen property. hat thov cet is not the less stolen be cause they call it a bounty, and in their case, whether they live in Vermont or Louisiana, the receiv er's as bad as tho thief. "Four tons of gold are carried around in the mouths of Philadel phia people." So says the Press. Well, that's all right. Quay has resigned and Bardsh is in the penitentiary . It is announced by J. It. N. Bell, now proprietor of tho Indoendence West Side, that he does not want to run for congress. Statesman. THE NEW YOKK DAY & ASI) FURNITURE DEALERS. Eugene, Oregon. University of 0m EUGENE.
