mIicii a spirit of enterprise possessed the
far-seeing few, who discussed tho probable
results of a npcculuUon In that line.
,111 1857, Mr. L. K. Pratt, having pre
vJoui)y nsqulrcd experience by erecting
two slmllur mills In tho East, nrrhed fiom
Mos-iachusetts with the machinery for Hie
v6olqn factory at Snlem, which has since
acquired a reputation creditable nliko to
its management and tho btntc. l'or the
pt thirty monllis after the comuienoemcnt
of operations, owing to n laek of public
confideneo Jn tho wcporlmsnt, und the dilll
qnHy of finding n market for their roanu
fnetured B0od,s, the compnnv were several
times on the, point of relinquishing their
business. In the hope of at least taxing a
litUo'from the fortunes then regarded ns
about .wrecked in no unsuccessful cxpcrl-
mcnt, Tho cash receipts of the concern
tvero o mere drbp Ip tup pucket of cxpen-
Uitures j .two per cent, was pecuiniilatlng
Mm .from ciJi.uuu no o,)y wm, jimi conn
pounding twice a year tho cnxlit of the
company vta about gono In the nelchbor
hood. Mr. l'rntt, who had clinrgo of the
Imbues, even wont so far as to keep a fam
ily boarding house for the htnds employed,
most of whom wcro willing to receive for
their surplus wages tho notes f tlio con
cern. To show tho low ebb of. the compai
ny's credit at that critical pen'od, it may
aot be amiss to mention that one of tha
present and most extensive stock proprie
tors wns then called upon for some mail
clncs lor n workman's sick wife, and when
tho company's noto was tendered as securi
ty for payment, It wns tossed back to the
tnnn with the remark -by the storc-kee per
that he woild tint give twenty-live cents on
tho dollar for It. During I lice dark months.
by dint of trading with farmers fabric for
raw wool, soma 10C000 pounds were ac
cumnlatcd, which, in the absence of ready
means to convert it Into cloth, they wcro
constrained to dispose of nt San Francisco'
for 810,000. The sama lot subsequently
sold at tho East for double that amount.
Hy the possession and uro ot tlio 810,000,
the business received a new Impetus, Its
crdk was repaired, and from that time
forward It has slrndily Increased, until. In
stead of cither lacking credit or consumers,
Oregon-manufactured godi hold n com
manding place In the woolen market, and
Its prosperity has InJiiced tho cstabllth
ment of n second factory of woolen goods
at Urownsvlllo. Kw nro these sufficient.
A company has Vrcn organized at Oregon.
City, and the creation of a large establish
ment commenced, to derive its working
power from tho celebrated WTillimftto
Falls an ample volume of water liclng
conducted thence through n flume. Whoa
completed, this fuctoyr will run ten sets ol
nmclilnery, nnd weenie work nt least equal
to that or tho Saliui Mill. 31r. I'rott,
from whom wo drrlvo soma Interesting
items upon this subject, left by tho steamer
l'nciflc on Monday evening- to procure
from tho Old Day Stale tho machinery for
the projected mill, at nn estimated cost of
820 000, nnd expects to huvo It ready for
use on next yenr's crop of wool.
A fiir Idea of the present Importance of
this branch of our homo Industry may be
had from tho following statement of moneys
Invested : The vnluo of ml'l property nt
Salem nmlTirownivlllo Isnt least 81.10 000,
the value of wool raised during tho past
year, ns near ns can be estimated in the ab
sence of uniform euro on tha part of coun
ty Mntlsticlnus, Js 8230.000; valne of sheep
estimated at 8150.000 muklng a -total
vnluntlon, according to the best aulliofillca,
of 8l.lf0.000 Invested lo tho growth and
manufacture of wool in Oregon.
The present capacity of machinery for
wool manufacturing purposes in Oregon is
equal to 450,000 pounds the Willamette
Mill at Balem using 300,000, and the
Urownsvlllo Mill 150,000 pounds. The
capacity of tho Oregon City Mill will equal
that nt Salem thus giving a promlso for
nrxtyear of manufacturing In this State
750.000 pounds, or 275 tons of wool.
Tin orly county In tho Slate which has
been carefuljy exnrobcd for .statistics upon
this subject has been Douglas, containing
80,000 sheep. Ksllmallng tho clip at four
pouods per fleece and It Is believed that
they will nvcrago four and onc-ba,lf pounds
we have threo hundred and twenty thous
and pounds of wool as ono year's product
of a Klogle counly. At a low figure, 20
ccuts per pound, here is nno source of in.
comepf-amQunUng to SGJ.OOO, among a
population numbering 3.2G1. It is not
claimed that Douglas Is superior to any
other county In this Stale for the rnlfing
of sheep, npd, we jjave, thcrcCQre. n right to
suppose- that when the subject is better un
derstood among our well-to-do farmers,
more closo nUentiod'wIirbeglvcntolt.niid
entirely Ignored ncd set aside by a class of
the quantity of wooj'largely Increased. The urging mountebanks, one-horse politicians,
existence of wild Mountain sheep tbr6ugl
this Stnlo is conclusive evidence that our
climate is peculiarly adapted to the" growth
of -the domestle .varieties. Welrare ?ca.
son -to lyjTdlint, l'.vidj:looj,monomcnt,
tho finest qualities of wool must form a
largo staplo of export, from the fact that
experienced farriers bao pronounced the
furs taken In Oregon equal, If not superior,
to any others In tho world. Owing to tho
present prices of -cotton goods, and the ab
sence of largo stocks of tho raw material,
as a rcsilt of the war, wool to a great ex
tent rrret take its place, nnd supply the de
mand for all descriptions of fabrics In which
It may be used as n substitute. Tha pros
pect of an Ir:rcoed tariff on Imported
woolen mantCscturcs Is Another incentive
to enterprise In this direction by our farm
crs, and Investments In fino wool and heavy
flecco sheep III never be regretted. In
fact, tho uvcrago quality of wool raised
here nt present Is so fiao ns to render It
necessary to import for uio io the manufac
ture of blankets and other coarso goods.
The first shipment of wool from Oregon
directly East was to Uoston, when $0,000
ipouods brought 50 cents, in legal tender
notes, per pound. At tho latest noconnts,
it was worth In gold 2122c., with a pros
pect of advance.
There has seldom been so good nn-oppor-tonity
to procure sbcep at low -rates, in
California, as now. The drouth in some
Kirtions of that State Is so extreme ns to
make some prompt disposition of the sheep
a matter of necessity. Thousands can be
had at from 75 .cents to 81 per head, nnd
some choice breeds at 82. Wo have It
upon the authority of a gentlemen whose
business enables him to form a correct opin
ion, that tho nvcrago export of sheep from
Oregon, for consumption In tho Ilritish
provluccs on the north, is not less than one
thousand head per month, and probably
much greater.
Notwithstanding tho Intelligent applica
tion of capitaldn woolen manufactures, our
sheep raljcrai.fcd a better system for the
culture, care nnd disposition of their wool
crops. We understand that farmers, large
and small, directly and indirectly, and
mostly in exchange for goods of home con
sumption, tnko Into Salem between three
usd four hundred thousand pounds of wool
per annum. While wo do not assume that
they cannot thus dispose of their stoiks to
udvautagc, wo believe it would be for the
'best interests of all concerned to recognize
the Importance of tho trade they arc aiding
to build up, and mako themselves familiar
each with tho other, as well as of bocks
uion the subject, that they inay Increase
the weight and improve thctexturo of their
wool, and cleanso nnd treat it to tho end of
enhancing its market value.
Upon tho return of Mr. Pratt, and the
starting of tho Oregon City Mill, if our
)coplo nro olive to their best Interests, the
wool-growing nud mr.niifacturlug Interrsts
of our Stato will reprcscut a round 82,

A most ccrlons nrtlcle appeared in the
Eiprcst of yesterday. 'I hat luminous nnd
ponderont organ of J. Davis has discover
ed that there Is no purity In the Democracy
ontsldo of Its own sanctum, TheYallan
dighams nnd Coxes nnd Seymours are
blunderers, all of them. They make plat
forms that belle the party. Says tho Kz
prtit: "It is a solemn truth that nearly all the
platforms adopted 'by Democrats In their
dittlreot localities throughout all the States
In tho Uuion, slnco the commencement of
tho war, in tho place of being exponents
of true -Democratic prtnolf leshave been,
and are now worlUcss trash. The great
essential principles of Democracy as taught
by Jefferson and his compeers, acknowledg
ed nnd appro, od by a great nnd powerful
party for a half century have been almost
incapable of comprehending tho mighty
issaes before the couptr; pr tf they com
prehend them arc too cowardly to avow their
convictions, pf truth lo the face of their
p9llttc.1l odvcrsarlw. With wry few ex
ceptions this has been the case all over the
Union, nnd wo tan hardly find n Democrat
ic principle now without going back and
examining tho declarations made prior to
tho election of Abraham Lincoln as Prcsl;
dont
Now Is it not refreshing to read such
troths where we least expect" to tee them?
We have for a loeg tunc Insisted upon tho
truth of tho proposition which that paper
so distinctly states, but ocr tumble efforts'
to convlnco have been only regarded by
our neighbor ns "Abolition lies."
Tho Efyrtu will not submit to noy
more such nonsense, and is evidently get
ting ready to bolt.unlcM the little squad
of Northern rebels who nro expected to
meet nt Chicago next month adopt a plat
.form that will salt it. Tho platform re
quired by the Etprtts is prcctscly that
which every traitor would most chccrfulij
endorse North nnd South.
"It will not merely grumble nt Lincoln
about the war, at now tonduttnl, bat will
affirm hostility to tho war conducted la
any manner for the subjugation of sover
eign States; teaching that fundamental
principle of American Democracy that
all governments should be founded on the
consent of tho governed. "
Does that .mean that traitors and pirates
should not le hung without their content?
Wo suppose that Is Radical Democracy,
bnt no, Fremont is the candidate of llw
"Radical Democracy." The Democracy
is In a terrible muddle. Wo had the "Lc
compton" and tho "Anti Lccompton," the
"Pcuco Democracy" and the " War De
mocracy," tho "Radical Democracy" with
Fremont, Wendell Phillips .t Co., nnd
now wo have tho original, the "Simon pure
original Jacobs" Democracy in our very
midst. Oh, shades of 1 Iallctt and nil tho.o
skillful political artluix, who have build
cil platforms for so many years, nevermore
shall thy handiwork be rccogulxcd. And
a for the new fanglcd policy platforms and
their makers, tlio Hiprtit will havo none
of them. "I am Sir Oracle, when I 0w
icy mouth, let no dog bark."
Wo wonder how largo a party thcro will
bo when the llxprtn shall have read out
the lenders. Hear It:
"Tho rank nud do of tho Democratic
party have moro sense nnd more honesty
thaulho leaders."
An honest confession is good for tho soul.
Was nr'e heartily glad to see tho Jlxpmt
ho so candid. There is yet hope, for
"Thllo the lamp holds out to barn, the

the value of greenbacks is ns follows : Di
vide the sum of 10,000 by the price of gold
in New York. Per example, soy that the
price of gold lu New York to-day is 108
10,000 divided by 108 is.30 I00198ths, or
very nearly .60; that isto say, a one-doh
