WRONG PLACE TO BEGIN.
POLITICS AND BUSINESS.
E'
iVEN FROM the trust-manufac
turing state of New Jersey
comes a voice of warning to the
leadeis of the dominant party.
Representative Fowler of that state
tells them plainly that they can no
longer depend on "party loyalty,"
and the support of a majority of
the people for everything and every
body callted Republican.
Never before in the history of this
republic, says Congressman Fowler,
T
HERE IS a call for the aboli
tion of the Import duty on but
ter. The Washington State
Grocers' association demands it,
so that Australian butter can be
imported and sold at rates lower
than those now current. The de
mand was expree?d in a resolution
adopted at a meeting of the asso
ciation at Seattle last week.
The Journal is an ardent believer
in tariff reduction, but this obvious
ly Is the wrong place to begin.
Butter Is the product of farms
from Maine to California and from
Washington to Florida. It is one of
the asset- of the 8,000,000 farms ln
this country. It is a resource of a
class ln which there are 30,000,000
marks: "It begins to look as
If the river boats would once
more resume their runs regu
larly between this city and Port
land. A little boosting for an open
river all the year round would, not
hurt. It means much to business
conditions in Albany. The loss has
been felt locally this summer by the
cessation of river traffic."
,No, ' a little boosting," nor a good
deal of boosting, by the people bf
Albany and of all Linn county, not
only "would not hurt," but might
help a good deal. Every little helps,
and Representative Hawley will
need help next winter. He haa a

time to do It Is next year, when
congress can stay ln session eight
months if necessary for that pur
pose. That it Is a campaign year
should be all the more reason for
the Republican leaders thus to con
vlnce the people that they are sin

mind the people will be quite jus

SPECTACLE of the hour is
eastern dairymen invading the
Oregon markets with heavy
shipments of butter. It is ln
violation of every natural law. It
is the substitution of artificial and
unnatural conditions for natural
conditions. The eastern dairyman
operates on land twice or three times
as high priced as Oregon land. He
pays a higher price for feed. He
must meet the extraordinary expense
of long, cold winters, and the largely
increased cost of keep for his herds.
There Is a- neighbor at his front

PLENTY OF MONEY FOR BEST
SECURITIES.
mj OTWITHSTANDING the croak-
lngs of railroad presidents
X 1 about the difficulty of borrow-
, fng money, and Mr. Rocke
feller's recent Intimation that money
was not to be had at even 7 per cent,
eastern financial periodicals are
pointing with satisfaction to the fact
that $40,000,000 New York city
bonds were recently subscribed sev
eral times over. It is true that the
bonds, bearing 4 per cent Interest,
were offered twice before and were
not largely subscribed for, but now,
when bearing 4 ft per cent Interest,
they are greedily taken, and would
have been if the amount had been
$200,000,000 or more. The differ
ence of one half of one per cent
amounts to only 60 cents a year on
each hundred dollars, so lt would
seem that it was not altogether this
that Induced people with money to
buy the bonds. Or If it was, should
not 5 per cent railroad bonds raise
any required number of millions?
But the New York 4 per cent
bonds sold not only at par, but at a
premium, ln some cases as high as
10 per cent. One man, for Instance,
bid $110 apiece for 20 $100 bonds
$2,200 for $2,000 in 4 per Cent
bonds, so that his real interest dur
ing the life .of the bonds will be
.0409 per cent. Commenting on this
incident the New York Commercial
says: .. . '
In competition with reliable railroad
and other bonds selling below par and
bearing 4 and 6 der Cant interest, a 4 per
cent tif York City bond at par la not
fiaaailaUy attractive. Aa additional ea
