THE FARMER' IS KING.
Under the above title oar esteemed
contemporary, the Evening Telegram
says:
Commenting on a recent editorial in
The Telegram concerning the desirabil
ity of farm life. The Dalles Chronice
takes issue with -as by saying that farm
ing is the least satisfactory of all occu
pations, and is far from being the poetic
dream that writers paint it. We admit
that the farmer has all the annoyances
incident to any sort of industrial occu
pation. He has his taxes to pay and
his bills to meet, and he must earn his
bread by the sweat of his brow. Yet in
spite of all these troubles his living is
assured , and that is the main thing.
His work and his worries end with the
day. The night time, the season ap
pointed for rest, is his, and he can al
ways lie down under his own vine and
fig tree to enjoy the rest that he has
earned, with the comfortable thought
that his family is provided for. Fur
thermore, the farmer is conscious that
he holds the key to the whole financial
and industrial situation of the world.
Agriculture is the basis of all industry
and commerce. The price of farm prod
acts is the unerring index to the world's
prosperity. Hence his position is not
only one of independence, but it is one
of sovereignty. The farmer is a king, in
the highest and best sense. Just now
ha may be reduced to a temporary state
of political vassalage, but in time his
sovereignty will be reasserted and those
who have" rebelled against his rule will
be punished for their rebellion. It was
decreed in the beginning that the tiller
of the soil should subjugate the earth,
and eo it will be. Commerce and
finance are merely handmaidens, and
are dependent on him. The industrial
depression of these present times is the
result of a rebellion against nature's im
mutable law. The servants have risen
against the master, and are trying to
make a vassal of him, and abnormal
conditions will continue as long as this
rebellion is in progress. But in time it
will come to an end. It will exhaust
itself in its fight against a divine decree.
In his claim to sovereignty the farmer is
backed by the great Jehovah, and he can
afford to stand still and wait to see the
salvation of the Lord. It is coming
through the travail of these calamities.
The bitter experiencies of these troub
lous days tend to the exaltation of ag
riculture and to its restoration as the
recognized basis of all industry, and
when he gets back to that point the
dawn of h permanent prosperity will be
ushered in.
The Telegram is eminently correct in
theory, bat the practice is a different
thing. Tilling the soil should be the
noblest and grandest of all pursuits.
The pretty pictures of farm life as it
ought to be, but as it is in but few
cases, are pleasant to com template; the
shady nooks, the growing crops,
the lowing herds, the colts, the
calves, the chickens, the cute little pigs,
the bloom of clover, the hum of bees
these are all delicious on paper. But
alas I the practical, every day life of the
farmer is not made up of such as this.
The picture our contemporary draws is
not true to facts. The farmer does not
lie down to rest at the end of his day's
work confident that his family is safe.
On the contrary, he has as much worry
as any other man. Most of them are in
debt, and the payment of debt by money
made on a farm is slow at the best, and
most times impossible.
The farmer should be king ; he should
be all our friend pictures him ; but he
is not. Circumstances have changed
within the past thirty years, the change
being inimical to the farmer. The rapid
increase of agricultural productions, the
opening of new areas of fine farming
lands, and other causes have tended to
. decrease the price of all farm products.
It is not the fault of laws, but of circum
stances, and time alone can provide the
remedy. Farming is now at its lowest
ebb, from a financial standpoint; .but
nevertheless it is perhaps as satisfac
tory as an other pursuit.
"We would rejoice to see the farmers
able to live just as the theorist pictures
them, for if anyone deserves the grati
tude of the world it is the patient,
plodding, weary farmer who feeds it.
IT CANNOT PASS THEM BY.
Some two or three weeks ago this
paper contained an editorial squib to
the effect that the Oregonian was ad
vocating the proposition that Oregon
make an exhibit at the Tacoma fair, and
that it was doing so because it was paid
for it. The idea we intended to convey,
and the only one we believe that was
conveyed, was that the articles appear
ing in that . paper were in the shape of
advertisements, or paid matter. We
believed this, for long acquaintance
With the Oregonian, which is run on
business principles, prevented as from
believing it would give so much space to
that kind of an affair unless said space
was paid for. The Oregonian evidently
took that view of it, if the article was
noticed at all, until the Catholic Senti
nel told it that we had insulted and
libeled it. Its fury then was something
grand, almost equal to the passionate
fit of an angry infant. It takes the
safety valve off its bile ducts in the fol
lowing charming manner:
Yet it is unnecessary for.a newspaper
of standing and character to notice these
contemptible libelera. Utterly dishon
est and corrupt themselves, they natur
ally attribute their own vile qualities to
others. Legal refutation of their calum
nies is unnecessary, for the charges they
make against others are merely the reek
of their own corrupt nature, and self-respecting
journals pass them by. without
notice. .'.
The first three and the last two lines
of the article quoted explain why our es
teemed contemporary did not "pass us
by without notice."
THE STATE CAPITAL AGAIN.
If The Dalles Chronicle felt disposed
to retaliate, there is an opportunity to
make Salem come to time on the capi
tol question. An experience of 30 years
in Oregon newspaper work furnishes us
with some recollection of "Salem
clique" tactics which might not, even at
this late date, prove uninteresting if
properly aired through the courts. , By
a majority of the votes of the people in
1860 the capital was located at Eugene,
but a Salem clique, by the practice of
fraud, nullified the election and delayed
the "location" four years. In 1864 the
vote was carried for Salem, ' and located
the capital there "for 20 years only."
The time has long since expired, Bro.
Cradlebaugh; and the capital is now
subject to removal. The clause in the
constitution (which was put there be
fore the capital was located), declaring
that all other institutions of the state
should be located at the state capital,
has been regarded as a dead letter for
over 20 years, until Sherman revived
the "clique" and restored the hogging
game. Portland is the place for the
state capitol even though it was her
vote, caused by the Steve Coffin and
Lounsdale factional fight, which gave it
to Salem; "for twenty years," under
stand. Moro Observer.

Ayer's ' Sarsaparilla is one of the few
remedies which are recommended by
every school of medicine. Its strength,
purity, and efficacy are too well estab

ever. Ayer's Sarsaparilla leads all.
The only way to cure fever and ague
is either to neutralize the poisons which
cause the disease or expel them from the
system. Ayer's Ague Cure operates in
both ways. It is a warranted specific
for all forms of malarial disorders, and
never fails to cure. Try it.

"Ayer's Cathartic Pills cured me of sick
headache and my husband of neuralgia. We
think there is
No Better Medicine,
and have induced many to use it.
" Thirty-five years ago this Spring, I was
run down by hard work and a succession of
colds, which made me so feeble that It was
an effort for me to walk. I consulted the
doctors, but kept sinking lower until I had
given up all hope of ever being better.
Happening to be in a store, one day, where
medicines were sold, the proprietor noticed
my weak and sickly appearance, and, after
a few questions as to my health, recom
mended me to try Ayer's Pills. I had little
faith in these or any other medicine, but'
concluded, at last, to take his advice and try
a box. Before I had used them all, I was
very much better, and two boxes cured me.
I am now 80 years old; but I believe that
if it had not been for Ayer's Fills, I should
have been in my grave long ago. I buy 6
boxes every year, which make 210 boxes up
to this time, and I would no more be with
out them than without bread." H. H.
