HE Democratic party believes in a government which
X .- I gives fair treatment to all. It believes in laws and
gives
their administration to encourage individual effort and
to give to every man the fruita of his labor and en
terprise. We are against the capitalist enterprises which in
various ways try to take unjust advantage of workers. We are op
posed to the combinations which throttle legitimate competition and
make profits which are extortionate when considered in connection
with the actual cost of production, manufacturing and marketing.
BECAUSE WE STANCH LY BELIEVE IN THE CONTROL OF GREAT
INDUSTRIAL COMBINATIONS WHICH IN VARIOUS WAYS HAVE BE
COME OPPRESSIVE TO THE LEGITIMATE COMMERCE OP THE
COUNTRY DOES NOT MEAN THAT WE DESIRE TO DISCOURAGE
AND DISTRESS THE VAST NUMBER OF MEN WHO ARE ENGAGED
OR PROPOSE TO EMBARK IN THE RIGHT KIND OF BUSINESS EN
TERPRISES. We believe in railroad construction, BUT NOT IN KOBBERY
at the expense of the small shareholders and the patrons. We believe
in supporting men who honestly operate transportation systems, but
we do not believe in letting them be used by stock jobbers by illegal
and dishonest means. Because WE OPPOSE TITE ROBBERY
OF THE TREASURIES OF GREAT RAILROAD SYSTEMS
Is no reason why we should be charged with wanting to hamper legiti
mate railrotd operation and to discourage railway construction.
I believe in encouraging men to invest money to give many dis
tricts more t ransportation facilities. I believe these investments should
be legitimf ely protected and free from prejudicial interference. Our
country is growing so rapidly that nothing could be sounder in the
way of inve tment than in railroads in districts that are sure to develop.
I want the vorkers on these jobs to have good wages.
After tlie new lines are established I do not believe that there
should be arbitrary reduction of tariffs which will interfere with the
returns for cither the workers or the owners.
The supervision which must necessarily extend to interstate com
merce cann t be and should not be applied to all industrial enterprises
of magnitude. But when the control of any article by one man or set
of men bec mes of sufficient proportion to affect the comfort and wel
fare of the -ountry the government must take notice and deal with the
industrial sanation.
, THERE ARE SOME COMBINATIONS 80 HUGE AND 80 POWER
FUL THAT THEY DISCOURAGE INDIVIDUAL COMMERCIAL EFFORT
AND ACTUALLY RETARD INDUSTRIAL DEVELOPMENT. IT IS ALL
NON8ENSE TO 8AY THAT WE CANNOT DEAL WITH THESE TRE
MENDOUS AND POWERFUL AGGREGATIONS WITHOUT INJURING
THE LEGIT MATE BUSINE88ES OF THE COUNTRY.
I want t made clear that the Democratic party desires to encour
age industr .1 development and to give confidence in the stability of
our comme -ial institutions. We shall speak and act to secure and pro
mote confic nce. While we want to give equal rights to all, WE
SHALL SI tELY STAND FOR AN EQUAL CHANCE TO ALL

attitude of the Morpa toward the present American gov

Id be a great mistake to turn the Filipinos loose to decide

we have been too liberal in giving control.

The British ship Aberfoyle crossed
in yesterday atfer a voyage of 183
days from Antwerp, with all welt on
board, and with one death repoted
by her master, Captain Hulin. The
Aberfoyle had tempestuous weather
clear around the Horn, her passage
there covering the extraordinary per
iod of 46 days. As she cleared the
turbulent seas about the Horn one
of her seamen hung himself to one of
her shear-poles and was found dead
when the watch shifted, and instantly
the weather cleared and she had a fine
run up the two American coasts.
This is not reported in any spirit of
fun-making at the expense of the
unhappy mariner, but the talc of offi
cers makes the marked change in the
weather so sharply incidental with
that gruesome incident as to. warrant
the statement. On July 7th, the Ab
erfoyle spoke the French bark Vin
ceiincs, in latitude 27 south, longitude'
92 west, and spoke her again near the
equator, and both times the French
man reported all things well with
her. The Vinccnnes is now 166 days
out fom Antwerp, bound for this port
and there has been some uneasiness
about her.
The-chief item of marine news in
this port yesterday was the arrival
home from Alaskan waters of the
good ship Henry Villard, with the big
pack of the Alaska Fishermen's
Packing Company, of this city, and
the 200 people that have their homes
and haibtat here. She had a tine pas
sage down from Nushagak and all
hands are well and hearty and glad
to get back. It was not possible to
get a detail of her voyage yesterday
owing to the confusion of the hour.
The steamer Charles R. Spencer
came down from Portland with a
goodly lot of people for Astoria and
the Regatta; and when she went back
her jolly young master was a bene
dict, happy as his best friend could
desire to see him. Captain Spencer
and his bride have the best wishes of
a host of people in Astoria who have
come to think mighty well of him,
and of course their goodwill naturally
extends to his pretty and amiable
bride. . -
Among the handsomest of the vis
iting launches in this harbor this sea
son is the Willamette river boat, the
Eagle, the chosen means of locomo-"
tion and travel indulged by her own
er, Banker John Rogers, of Salem.
He goes everywhere in her and has
the jolliest time a pleasant summer
season affords. . His family is always
with him and they practically live
aboard the craft.
The steamer Lurline was down yes
terday on good time and brought a
big lot of people for the Regatta. She
will remain down tonight till 10
o'clock and take part in the marine
parade, and carry her limit of specta
tors around the bay. And tomorrow
night she will not leave up until
midnight. - .
-The steamship Breakwater came
down the river yesterday morning
bound for Coos Bay and had plenty
of people and freight on board. She
left out at once.
The fine launch Eva is down from
Portland for the Regatta season and
is finding plenty to do.
The schooner Albion cleared from
the port yesterday for the Sfuslaw
with a big load of cannery supplies.
The steamer Cascades came down
from the metropolis yesterday and
went to sea and San Francisco with
out any loss of time.

The Little Fellows Were Caught in
e Woods Near Chicago and Tied
to Trees, and Then Were Stripped
and Whipped Mercilessly, it is Said
CHICAGO, Aug.- 27. Stripped of
their clothing, tied to trees and cruel
ly lashed with switches-such was the
punishment meted out to two young
boys by two older youths for whom
the little fellows had refused to steal.
The case came to light yesterday
through the arrest of Arthur Holm
gren, 16 years of age, and Joseph Cas-
siboin, 18 years of age. Their accu
sers are Richard Engcr, 12 years old,
and Richard Kecnley, seven years old.
The attack of Enger 'occurred Tues
day afternoon and Ktnley was beaten
yesterday in the same woods at For
est Glen. The older boys stripped
Enger and bound: him to a tree. His
captives got switches and whipped the
helpless youth, bruising him and cut
ting into his flesh. Enger was begin
ning to lose consciousness when the
beating ceased and he was untied from
the tree. He was told to don his clo
thing, take a bunch of skeleton keys
which were offered to him and rob a
cottage a short distance away.
Enger, unable to speak, shook his
head, and at this he was again tied to
the tree and another beating was ad
ministered. Again he was liberated
helped into his clothing and ordered
to go to a bridge over the river, seize
a woman's purse and bring it back to
them. His second refusal angered his
captors still more and they prepared
to beat him again.
Enger pleaded with his captors and
declared that he would not commit a
theft, no matter what punishment was
half dragged their victim to Jefferson
administered to him. Then the boys
Park, where they liberated him and
boarded a car bound for the city. Ri
chard Keenley was seized while he
was playing in the same woods, and
was given a beating apparently for
the pleasure his screams and cries of
agony would afford his .captors, and
then was released. He told the po
lice afterward that he was not asked
to commit any crimes.
