THE SPENDTHRIFT.
Tbe Oregonian reads a homily on the
subject of wages and prices under the
title of "Meals Five and Ten," and ar
rives at the conclusion that economy
and thrift are lacking in America, and
that, in fact, we are a nation of spend
thrifts. This is no doubt true, ; but
whether that trait ia an injury to the
country or not is at least debatable.
j.nat me inruiy, snving man generally
accumnlatea a fortune, is undoubtedly
true; but would lie do eo if it were not
for tbe spendthrift class? Xf we were
all economical, thrifty and saving, it
would be a hard game - for each of us.
That the spending of money, even lav
ishly, by the rich is a blessing to the
country, ia undoubtedly true. The
clerk who gets $50 a month and spends
it, at least keeps it in circulation, and
assists those who are employed in mak
ing the clotbea that he wears, the luxu
ries that eat np bis income; and when
be gets, that much per week and spends
it, be simply quadruples the good he
does tbe class furnishing the articles
upon which his money- is spent. A
mining camp, a live one, is a regular
beehive; - everybody gets good wages
and spends . them. -The money circu
lates, and the economical, thrifty, sav
ing man finds in such communities bis
best picking.
We are a nation of spendthrifts. But
let that trait be suddenly corrected ; let
our foolish, if you please, spendings
stop, and thj business of the country
.would be stagnant. Our boasted borne
market would vanish, or enough of it
would that starvation would eel in, and
gaunt famine would sweep through the
manufacturing districts. Suppose to
morrow that every citizen of the United
States would determine to' save, and
things absolutely needed. The smoke
would die out of the factory chimneys,
the. stores would be two-thirds of them
closed, the- milliners, - the-- dressmakers
and the tailors would become .county
charges, the newspapers would lose
three-fourths of their patronage through
tht inability of tbe people to subscribe
for tbein, and. the uselessnesa of adver
tising. - The bicycle ' factories would
close permanently, and those of agri
cultural implement temporarily; grass
would grow on the railroad tracks, and
moss on tbe steamship wharves.
As long as we spend our money at
home the spendthrift Is no injury to the
country's business, but its benefactor.
Whrni wa hnv. ntrrn fl than thimrn trfl
different because we as a nation of
spendthrifts become easy plucking by
other nations whose people are more
economical, more savinir. - and more
thrifty. It takes all kinds of people to
make a country, and the spendthrift is
by no means the worst kind. He Is a
necessity, for his habits tend to the dis
semination of money into the channels
of trade, giving life to business, and
making it possible for that very spend
thrift's employer to raise his wages
eventually from "$50 a month to $50 a
week." We know this sounds some
what like the proposition of a man lift
ing himself by his boot-etraps, but it is
true just the same. God bless the
spendthrift! He furnishes the grease
that makes the wheels of industry run
smoothly. ' He gives employment to the
poor, keeps the lawyers and profession
als from hard labor, supports the coun
try editor in luxury, puts the are lighta
In the shop windows, encourages litera
- tare, makes talent appreciated, puts
music in Jenny Land's tongue, and mo
tion in Cerito'e heels, builds the palatial
hotels,' supports the floating palaces on
tViA rMpian t.ViA Hrctwiniy vrtrtm fa ra nn
lan I. He is the product of ino-lem civ
ilization, and yet the cause of it. He is
a necessity, and though not of the right
sex, is indeed the mother of invention.
His needs, or his imagined needs, are
tbe lever and fulcrum that move the
world. We like hiin, regardless of poli--i
tj;.. r:
liba, i y , ' ' i vi tviui ui. mi
bles are food for : the hungry, and his
toothpick shoes and Dr. Mary Walter
pants' are not made in vain, since they
create labor. Let him sack bis tooth
some cane, since some Dot! y got paid tor
making it, and smile not at his creased
pantalettes or his overpowering clothes,
for somebody bought groceries with tbe
money paid for tbem.
When we all get economical tbe silver
question will be settled, for copper will
then be good enough for tbe business of
the country. Economy ia wealth only
where the larger portion of tbe commu
nity is? not eononncal. The spendthrift
makes three suits of clothes go where
only one went before, besides tbe thous
and and one trifles which economy never
bnye, bat which the spendthrift uses
and therefore creates, and is a true
philanthropist. God bless- the spend
thrift! and send us good people here
at The Dalles several hundred dozen of
him.
COTTAGES NEEDED.
There is one thing our property own
ers must do if they expect The Dalles to
grow, and they must do it at once
That i6 to build cottages for rent. There
is not a vacant house in Tbe Dalles to
day suitable for a family of moderate
means that can be rented. Naturally if
a man comes here with his family, he
wants to look around a little while be
fore investing his money, and he does
not want to boy a town lot and put up a
residence the first thing. There is not a
week passes but that some person comes
here from the East, stops a day or so,
and goes on with the remark, "If I
could get a house for a month or two I
would stop and look at your section, but
I cannot afford to keep my family in tbe
hotels for two or three months.
In the burned district there are dozenB
of lots that are unoccupied, and only
adding to their owners' taxes. We sug
gest that it would be a good thing for
the owners to put up a few inexpensive
cottages, such as could be rented at from
$8 to $15 per month. It would not only
be a good thing for them in the way of
putting their property in shape to earn
something, but it would aid materially
in tbe building up of the city. As a
matter of fact it is an absolute necessity
that these homes be built, for, as we
stated before, there is not a vacant
building in tbe city. It is not neces
sary for everybody who owns a lot to
build, but we suggest that a half-dozen
buildings of the, class we have men
tioned be put up, and at once. When
they, are filled, and we think that will
be as soon as they are finished, more
can be built, until tbe supply equals the
demand. , . . V
There should be a spare dwelling or
two in the city. Which of our enter
priming citizens wijl undertake to help
supply the demand?
