EFFECT OF FREE COMPETITION. From "Protection- and Prosperity" wo extract the following. Mr. Corliss, the author.'haa given much space to this subject nd his treatment is convincing and conclusive: The rain which roust befall oor coun try while ruling through the transfor mation 'from oor vast industrial system to tho conditions imposed by an applica tion of feo trade principles, is most appalling to contemplate. In order to Hold our home market, we must at once be reduced to the level of Europe as a producing country, and thus cacrifice billions of dollars In wages and submit loan incalcnable ehrinkage in values. But while this is taking place, our indus tries could not be kept intact. Our sys tem of doing business on credit is eo universal that shrinkage in values would ruin every manufacturing estab lishment and in turn wreck every bank, and in its destructive influence woul d reach every depositor and every home in the land. We should be left with a bankrupt people attempting, without capital or credit, to resuscitate and read jnst our industries to a condition under which, if they were continued, they would yield meagre returns to labor and capital. This process hu actually be gun. The calamities of the last three yearn are but a shadow of what inevit ably follow if tbe warfare is continued and the designs of free traders aro put fully into practice. The Gorman-Wilscn bill directed its attack against the woolen industry by reducing duties to an average ad valorem rate of less than 50 per cent,' which by a system of undervaluation that lis made possible, reduces the protective duty still lower. Tbe busy woolen mills of England and the idle woolen mills of the United Stales, with the Increased im ports of, woolen goods, show that the death-dealing process is doing ita wcrk 'SOME FACTS FOR FARMERS.

OB Any one wanting a iruit, vegetaoie or cnicKen larm OFFICE, S03 Jcluoa Street, at res idence of Mrs. J. Birzer. B03EBURG, OIL In 1877 the average ralne of the hay crop in the United States was $5.60 psr ton. The following year it dropped to $7.20, and in 1S79, the year next ensn ing, it jumped up to $9.32 per ton. Again. In 1S91, when this country was firmly on a'gold basis, tbe axcrage ralne of the hay'crop was (S.40 per ton in lbSCn leu to foV73 per ton, and in 1833 it rose to $3.63 per ton. Last year tbe average value was $3.56 p:r ton. AEsnming that tbe fall in prices is doe to the "crime of IS73," Low are thete fluctuations to be accounted for? Will some Bryanite explain also why it is that tbe average value of the hay crop per ton was greater in 1895, when we were on a gold basis, than it was in 1S73, when gold was at a premium? Hay has undoubtedly declined in price since 1S73, but why should it cot hare done so? Apart from cheaper methods of production and cheaper rates of tract portation, tbe annual hay crop increased Irora 25,0S5,1&0 tons in 1S73 to 65,766, 15S tons in 1S33. Last year it amounted to about 47,000,000. At tbe same time the cumber of bones in the United States increased only irom 9,222,470 in 1S73 to 15.S33.31S in 1S95. It is estimated that there are nearly 1,100,000 fewer horses in this country today than there were three years ago. These plain frets and figures should not be hard to comprehend. Let tbe farmer study them before he allocs him self to be hoodwinked by free silver dem agogism. Oregon-drown Peaches. A large quantity of Mori peaches are being shipped to market from E. E. An derson's orchards near Talent. Tbe peach crop has almost been a failure in all parts of Southern Oregon this season, on account of the late frosts, but there is an occasional orchard that has a partial crop. Mr. Anderson expects to market 1000 boxes from his orchard. The crop shortage has, of course, raised the price considerably for borne consumption, lo cal prices having run from Vi cents to 3 cents, where they are usually about 1 cent per pound. Tbe peach trees will hare a good rest this year, and will be prepared to do good work next year. or a suburban liome ean now be accommodated on easy j"SR brown, m. d, terms.
