Lile al most firry 6ody else, wc are sadly in neetl of money witli which to pay our indebted nest not for investment or speculation Chir creditors tire in the same jir, and are crowding us. Consequently ire are com pelled to urge upon our friends the neces sity of the payment of the small amounts due us. Therefore we will at the earliest possible moment render a statement of cccouiii,'u appears from our loots Janu ary J, JS94, to every rson indebteil to us, Where there are so many small accounts it is next to impossible to keep all of them cor vectly. heuce when yourecciiea statement and think it is incorrect, evei if you have paid it and we failed to give gnu credit, don't "fly of the fondle" and gel tnad, but tcrite kindly and telius abont it if you can't write kindly, aecite any way, for we want to have our boots correct If you can't pay the whole amount of yourbill, a portion of it will be thankfully recciitJ, and if it is not convenient for you to pay any of it, let us know that fad also.

In the cnrivncv debate in the house Sperry of Connelicut snid that the lenl tender and trwiMiry notes shoild le retired, because tboir ex istence was rnnninf- tho government Into debL The 5100,000.000 that hss already been borrowed, was pretty certain to be followed in .February by another bond issue. Th amonnt of legal tender and treasury notes now outstanding is in round num bers 400,000,000. They are as much & debt of the government an any bond that has ever been issued. The difference between them and n bond is that they are payable on demand and draw no interest, while the bonds are payable at a stated time and bear interest. The government folly maintains its credit- when it pays coin for the portion of legal tender or treasury notes that may be j presented. Now the government will 1 never b-) freed from all obligation- to provide for the redemption of its de xamd notes until all its demand notes have been redeemed. To do this woali. require a bond i-.sna of --493,03000. So far the Cleveland administration has only ind .bands to the amonnt of ?100,000,003. Ad mitting that it rosy issue another 100,000,000, the total would be le.-s thin one-half of the amount that wunld need to be island to redeem draaad notes with If bank cur rency should b issued m place of government tlsniiind note, such Inufc notes would be redmib!a in coin. Tee banks naturally, so tang as there were demand notes in circulation, would gather them in and srot th-ir coin oat of the treasury, pretty much as they do now. COMMERCIAL WAR. It is somewhat singular that an administration which has made tbo fostering of foreign trade its especial purpose should God on its hands a kind of commercial war. The repeal of the McKinley tariff, carrying with it the reciprocity clause nnder which certain foreign aat ions were increas ing their trade with the United States, has provoked reprisals on the part of some of these nations. Tb administration has been forced to take note of this hostile foreign atti tude. A Washington ppecial says that the state department has in formed the Spanish government that If discriminationsagainst tho United States do not cease the president will exercise the authority vested in him by congress to stop the importation of goods from countries that perFist in such discriminations. The notice served on Spain will be extended to Germany, Denmark, France and other nations that Lave rnled out American product?. It is a great pity that such a threat should have become'necessary. Tho administra tion started out less than two years ago to conquer the markets of the world. Its first step ras to let the j world into our own market. Now that the great manufacturing nations have got their goods into our market on much morefavorable terms than in the last thirty years they torn about and ehnt American prodncts from their markets. During the pafet three months the Plaixdealep. 6ecnred over 300 now subscribers, au l yet we made no "blow" over the matter. Many peo ple have expressed the opinion that wo do not "toot our horn" as wo should. Perhaps we do not, but a newspaper that is always telling about its good merits and what n great sheet it is reminds one very forcible of the old say that praise is half slander " self The New York edition of the Ore goniBn, containing 40 pages, is an ex cellent number, containing much useful information, mostly relating to Portland and vicinity. So vend pages, however, are devoted to tho rural districts, and Rosebnrg and the Umpqua valley camo in for their share. THE NICARAGUA C'.IAM,. The Nicaragua canal must and will bf built.

This trade iis well as that of i::aunfa::n:l Jumber, will untirally ht transferred to this con.-t when the Nicaragua canal shall have beeu completed. Over two millions of people on this coast, among the most energetic and progressive of the wot Id's popu lation, are seeking for an outlet for tho products ol their labor. The de mand for more direct and cheaper communication between the western and eastern states, and between the Pacific coast and tho markets of Europe increases with our growth; and the p-opleof this coast appeal in no nncertn:n tones to the "nation for the relief of their oppressed iudns trW Genl. Grant in 1SSI speakiDg of the Nicaragua canal said. "I com mend an American canal, on Ameri can soil, for the American people, and congratulate myself on the fact that tho most careful examinations have demonstrated that the route standing in this attitude before the world is tho Nicaragna canal, which com mends itself hs a judicious economi cal, and prosperous work." Tho Nicaragua canal would bo the mo6t enduring monument to the civ ilization of the age, the crowning work of the century, and of far greater importance to tho western hemisphere than the Suez canal is to the eastern. Let the canal be bnilt ; and that speedily, and then will be annihilated the 10,000 miles of excess of distance by water that cow lies between New York and Portland. Lego. EEM1N1SCEXT.

Mr. Forre was at one time county jadgeof Yamhill county. He has been some years deceased. His daughter, Mrs. X. T. Day, was tint a child when ehe came acro?a the plains ; the writer of this article accompanied her father, in fact he drove n team for hiui on that weary travel, and fortunately and hap pily for hici he married his eldest dauyii ter oa their arrival in Orezon. That marriage occured oa the rOth day of March, 154(5, the flrit aarriass ever con summated in l'o;k couaty. Two of Mr Forrest's sons, brothers of Mr?. N. T. Day, were shot on Cow Creek, Doc 1: las county in t!io 'Tall ol 1549. We were re- taming from California. We ramped on Cow Cieek one nislit. In the morninK as one of the lirotlrers wa-j kneeling at the camp tire, the other brother hearinj; a noise in'a clump of timber not far off ateppid up toward it, thinking it might be a deer. Suddenly a shot was heard, and a iKilltrt passed through the calf of the lejra of both boy?, the fame bnllet wounding balli of them. Pretty goon about 50 Indian bore in eight, making hideous yells cs they approached us. There wss bat seven of us and not pre pared for battle. We mounted on om worn out ponie and ttarted northward, the Indians folloviin. We had made but littie advance ere we heard cow bells, and we roon met with a company on their war to California. Ti.is caused the Indians to cease pnmiit. Fortunately there waj a physcian in this company who dressed the wound of tho two brothers. A fcilk hatidLcrcief was torn in strip?, and the strips drawn through the wounds to cleanse them, this made tho boys uince and pained them more than the shot itself. We arrived palely home m the valley, and the Iwys eooa recovered from the wounds. These line have been hastily written, and we may again war to fcminifcenCfM relating to early times in Oregon.
