Legislation did little to bring about this change; the defeat of Bryan con tributed to it, for then the money power and , monopolists, " having tiowned the man they feared, let loose the gold they bad been hoarding and hiding for the very purpose of creat ing a panic and scaring the wits out tf the people; but the principal causes were the greatly increased production of gold and. coinage of silver, and great crops i this country and famine elsewhere, .The morning paper has "'become-so habituated " to rnisfepre- , aentation of the issue in 1896 and the world-wide events of that and pre ceding and succeeding years that it .-' 1 t. 4.1t'L.'....lL 1 . .1 .

Recognizing the tre mendous changes that have i taken place, Mr. Bryan drops the. money standard question, but he will have good deal to say yet about our system of finance, and his criticisms thereof will be worthy, of attention. When nothing is to be gained or accomplished by its statements and arguments the Oregonian is apparent ly verr mucn in tavor ortanti re form. It has' quite sj' clear and com prehensive understanding of the in iustice and iniquity of the excessively nten protective tantf: out when the test comes, and though it knows that the tariff question hr conjunction with the allied trust question is the para mount one in national politics, it al ways supports the high . tariff ,. and J trust party and candidates. It says ne thing and does the other. Mr. .. Bryan would reform the tariff, and regulate or eliminate the trusts, yet the morning paper cannot even on this flnestton saw wnH in liia rnm. raeadation.

DEM AN ft FOR OREGON FRUIT. .. : :- . r-'f." -t-llie PURCHASE hera in. Btu 1 son by the leading fruit mer largs quantity'lrtid variety of Oregon fruits is in encouraging and signifi cant sign. Significant in his coming to Oregon rsther than to California t ' 1 U tiajDaaifol IfSJiiiQA Ol oar superior fruits.-' We Oregoaians have long known that our fruits, due Care beirtg taken in their production, are far superior to the tm' kinds of .California fruits, but outsiders, even Jn pur own country, have been slow to-. recognise this fac) as they now arc rapidly. coming to" do," -..We have progressed far,' too. in recent years, in the matter of sorting and packing fruits, and this beingtareful ly and conscientiously attended to, we shall "frml a rapidly growing ouricet tor Oregon fruit, not , only ; in por tions of our country that produce utile or none, but in various eoun tries of Europe ard, Asia. - C , ' The ' possibilities uf -the . hortJcul- tytal industry in Oregon and portions of Washington an J Idaho are beyond calculation,' almost beyond imagine tion. To use hackneyed phrase, this industry is literally in infancy, and it may and. shou'.J grr.w to gigantic proportions.. We" have the aoil---in southern Oregon, in eastern Oregon, in thp, Willamette valley; we have; save for an eeasiou.il frost or other slight ' setback, ; the climate; acience has Jaught fruitgrowers . how they may cheaply, and surely destroy the pests, and our fruitrsistrs should go on "conquering and to conquer" the markets qf the world. . : Nowhere on the globe is there so all-around good a fruit country, as this? jtht production as the demand in- crease can be .multiplied many fold; modern methods and devices will take our fruits with but slight deteriora tion half ifWy or more around the globe; the demand fn old markets is constantly increasing and new mar kets are appealing to us, and under all these circumstances the- present or prospective fruitgrower of the Pa cific northwest has a bright-prospect ahead of him. . , . -:,f.'y NEW ROUTES . SOUTHWARD. T LAST THE Southern Pa ; cific railroad is going '. to . build, ia building, an Ore gon-California- line that will avoid the " immensely expensive steep grades, the sharp . curves , and the loops over the Siskiyou mountains. This is a fine scenicToute; on pleas ant day one-can enjoy it very much; but 'from a business point of view it doesn't pay. It. ia. not supposed that this1 portion of the liee-wiB. be abandoned; it Is to be hoped that it will not be, for many people will always want to take a trip over 'that route, but with the rapidly increasing traffic that the Southern Pacific must handle a route with lower grades and less sharp sinuosity- became a neces sity,, and so the line from Natron via Klamath Falls to a point beyond the Siskiyou will be builC This will possibly be of great ad- vantage to ' PottlandlaBrihging the Klamath region into commercial ctn tact with this city, and diverting the trade of that country largely , from San Francisco to Portland. At least Portland merchants and manufac turer ought to have an even chance with those of the Bay City, to which Klamath" and Lake ; counties , have hitherto been - altogether tributary. And it is to be remembered in this connection that the product and pop ulation of the Klamath, basin, after the reclamation project - i . lully in operation, will be many times what they have been in the past, ' "In the not far distant future we will alsq doubtless have another route open between Portland and San Fran cisco, that via Coos bay; and, later perhaps, we can re.-.ch Coos bay by two, railroad routes, one over the Southern Pacific via Drain and an other down the Columbia and along the coast ; - Yes, surely the era of railroad de velopment for much more than has been mentioned here is going on ha come to Oregon at last Portland'a bank clearings for. this week increased 23 per cent over those for the same week last year. And Portland'a ball team is at the top of the percentage column of the Coast league. And ' Portland's r coast wise trade for August was greater than for any other month of the year." And Portland's but what's the use of rub bing it in? ' i" : ' The Partama canal commission wants $25,000,000 to expend during this fiscal year, intimating that by the rod nf Iw, when something like $100,000,000 wil! have been spent, they msy be ready actually to begin dig ging the canal. But this would be rather too much to expect' ' 'Whether he ever becomes president or not Bryan can well be proud and happy ia the esteem, confidence and love of "so great a , portion of .-bis eountrymen-There-are vbut-few ei his political opponents, evenr who do not admire and respect him.. - - SBS2 mi wm ' Of all the cities on the coast Port lsnd is freest from crime.
