INFLUENCE IN C0N0RE8S.
The Corvallis Gazette iav trjfflf
to boom Tongue fr a re-election
comes very near making itself ri
diculous. It exclaims: "Were
those petitions you signed, urging
the improving of Vaquins harbor,
honest expressions of your desires
in that direction? Were those con'
grstulations when the happy result
of Mr. Tonrne's labors with the
war department waa made kiowa.
genuine? Or ere you going to in
, . . .
'rress by your vote that yon law
form the war department and con'
no real interest in Yaquina bay?"
Yes, the petitions were genuine;
the congratulations were genuine,
and we dont intend to inform the
wardepartmet that we do not want
the further imyrovement of Ya
quint harbor. The reason that we
aigncd the petition was, to use the
statement of a prominent repub
lican of thio county, to force Mr.
Tongue to take some action in the
matter, and let him know that the
people were interested in the i
pTovement of Yaqnina harbor.
He had been in congress nearly
two years end had left the Yaquina
matter right where Mr. Hermes
had left it. And it wea only when
an universal expression of the peo
ple of hia district in the matter that
Mr. Tongue became aware thet
there was such t place as Yaquina
bay in his district, end woks np to
the tact it was time for him to be
np and doing er the people would
speak later on in the matter.
There is another side to this mat
ter that the Getette and sncb boom
era seem to forget, end thet is this:
la it net right and proper for
congressman to work for the whole
district which he represents? Is
not that whet he is elected to do,
May 13, 1898.
and is not thet what he ie paid bis
salary for doing? Should it be nec
essary for the people to have te
sign petitions to beg end plead end
coax end threaten their congress
man te ect in thb matter? This Is
e matter fof public importance, end
the congressman knew of it before
. . , s .1
ue etaw ewwiM ,... .ww. a.....
to have the work carried on if pos
sible. Does any sane men believe
that if Mr. Veatch ir elected that
he will not do his utmost to for
ward the work, and men who have
served in the Oregon legislature
with both Veatch and Tongue
frankly admit that Mr. Vtatch'a
influence in procuring legislation
waa far ahead of that of M r . Tongue,
and that in the face of the fact thet
the legislature wes overwhelming
ly republican. Talk about Mr.
Tongue having e great influence In
congress. Perhaps he has, bnt let
ua call the attention of the people
to one little fact. Up in Washing
ton atato they have e democrat rep
resenting them np there by the
name of Lewi a. Some people in
trying to be funny call bim "Dude
Lewis" because he dresses well end
hss handsosse whiskers. Well
this seme "Dude Lewis" has, al
toigh a democrat and without in
fluence, secured an appropriation
for Gray's harbor of $150,000, and
the Gray's hsrbor matter was
almost in the same shape aa the Ya
quina appropriation. What was
the reason of this, and why did not
MrVTongue, who has the gtcatest
influence, according to the Gazette,
secure a similar appropriation for
Yaquina harbor?
And then that last little break
about informing the war depart
ment that yov have no real interest
(n YaqrnT bay. That is absurd.
IarK government run alone for re-
ublicans? Do not the test of the
people have any rights or privile
ges? Or does Mr. Tongue own the
war department, and will refuse to
let it act on any matter unless he
ia re-elected?" Is it not a fact that
the war department is, ar far aa it
pertains to ita work, non-partisan?
They do net stop to ssk the politics
of every representative in congress
that they come into contact with
ia the performance of their official
dnties. It is absurd to say that
the result of the improvement of
Yaauise bay depends alone on Mr.
Tongue. The work will go right
ahead just the same it Mr. Veatch
(selected. This is the same old
cry that was set np when Hermann
was defeated for re-nominatien.
Of course if the war department
belongs to Mr. Tongue, or if be is
bearing the expense of the improve
ment out of his own pocket, then
it might be well to pay some atten
tion to to the threat covertly
made in the above. But the fact
is that this harbor matter is a bus
iness matter, and the department
don't ask.don't know and dont want
to know what the congressman's
politics are that seeks to have the
work carried on.
Hon. J. J. Whitney in his ad
dress last Monday night scored the
republican party of Oregon for their
misappropriation of public monies,
and especially for voting each state
officer e anm largely in excess of
the coatitutional salary; and for ac
ceding to every demand made by
Portland fof special bequests in her
favor. He also showed the ridic
ulous position which the republl
can party new occupies on the
money question, stultifying ell its
past records.
Number .
PROSPERITY.
MwAa-1,
It would seem from the public
declarations of campaign orators and
the private discussions of the rank
end file of the people that there is
great difference of opinion as to
what prosperity consists of. The
g. o. p. speakers tell us that we ere
right in the midst of the most pros
perous times we have ever known,
end that a man who cannot see
marked change for the better in the
last two years is so mentally blind
that nothing short of a miracle
could restore his eyesight.
Now if we desire to be
honest with ourselves we can soon
ascertain whether these are pros
perous times or not. Prosperity
means good fortune, success. How
many of our neighbors are snore
successful in business to-day thav
two years ago. Let all such man
ifest it by rising up. How many
who have been in business for the
last ten yeara are as well off today
aa the were ten years ago. Let
all such stand up. This is an eaay -and
practical way to settle the
question. Just take an inventory
of your worldly goods and chattels
and compare it with former ones.
Just glance around among your
neighbors end see how many of
them fere prospering in business
and laying up wealth. There is
no need of traveling a long distance
to get information on this subject.
Hero is a man shoveling dirt on the
railroad. Let us ask him. "Hello!
neighbor, what wages are you get
ting." "One dollar and a quarter
a day." What did yon get during
the Cleveland hard times." "One
dollar and a half a day." Do you
get as many days' work in a year
now as you did then?" "No, I
don't get on an average more then
one half as many." Do you find
it an easy matter to support your
family and lay up a little for a rainy
day?" "Lay up money? Don't
you know that emyloymenc is so
uncertain that there is not a mer
chant in Lincoln county that dare
give a laboring man caedit for a
barrel or nour." "Don't .you
know that nearly a hundred labor
ing men have been obliged to leave
this county during the past year in
search of work?" Well we must
confess that so far the cvidenc is
adverse to the prosperity theory,
but this evidence may be excep
tional; let us continue the inquiry.
How is it with our local industries,
such as bertofore have been impor
tant factors in the business of this
bay. We call up the Pioneer Sand
Stone company. "Hello. Pioneer,
we want the manager of the com
pany." "He Is st home tending
baby; will send for him; here he
is." "Say Mt. Manager, how
maoy men did you employ during
theCleaveland hard timea in 196."
"Fiom fiftteen to twenty-five men.
"What wages did yon pay." "One
dollar and seventy-five cents to three
dollars per day." "How many
men do you employ now and
what wages do yoy pay." "We do
not hire any men and pay no wa
ges. We can find no sale for our
producta and have been compelled
to close our works." How many
farmers ere better off to day than
they were two years ago. Can you
find one in Lincoln county? Can
there be ancb thing as prosperity
wheo the people are not prosper
ous? Let us think of these things.
One sadly Solemn thought
Comes to me o'er and o'er:
My taxes are higher now
Than ever they were before.
