A WONDERFUL INCREASE.
The wonderful activity in the gold
fields of South Africa, and the conse
quent frenzied speculation in the Lon
don exchange, has been the spectacle
which the financial world has been
viewing for the last few months. The
-activity is not confined to Africa alone,
nor the time to within a limit of late
duration. Since 1887 the output of gold
has steadily increased, till it seems
probable that in the decade in which we
are now livinz the world will see the
greatest output of gold than for any sim
ilar period of time in its history. Every
month brings us reports of new discov'
eries in some one or more of the old
fields. During the first five months of
this year such reports have come from
Russia, West Australia, North Carolina,
Alabama, and from different points in
. the Rocky Mountain regions. In these
old fields and in California there has
been a great renewal or expansion in
gold mining. Each region has given up
more gold since 1887. The total output
for that year was $85,000,000 : in 1894
.. that amount was nearly doubled. Dur
ing.the last eight years, from figures
furnished by the Chautauqaan, we find
the increase in several old regions 11894
over 1887) has been about as follows
In the United States $10,000,000; in In
dia, $4,000,000 ; in Russia, $7,000,000 ; in
the Guineas, $3,000,000; Australia, $10,
000,000. These five couDtries were all
producing gold in 1860, but the gain in
the years mentioned has been more than
$36,000,000. For two decades before
1887 gold production declined ; but since
that time the increase haa been remark
able. New mines have of course been
discovered, but the old ones, through
the agency of modern diecoveries in sep
arating the baser from the purer metal,
have contributed to the increase, till we
find that leaying out tho gold from the
new mines, there has been a steady in
crease from the old ones.
Six reasons were offered by a recent
writer as explaining the wonderful in
crease in the product ot gold. These
were: First, Renewed or increased act
iveity in the oM fields. Second, New
fields of prodigious promise. Third,
Better methods of extracting gold from
rocks and alluvium. Fourth, Wider
and better organization of the gold in
dustry. Fifth, A strong demand for
gold. Sixth, The increase of rock
mining over sand-washing in the indus
try. During the ten years following the dis
coveries of 1849-'50, 1,160 million dollars
were added to our stock of gold. Start
ling as was this vast increase, the pros
pect is good for that amount to be near
ly, if not quite, doubled. That this
present and expected increase in the
product of gold will favorably affect all
lines of business, there can be little
doubt, and the closing years of this cen
tury will be known as the "golden
nineties."
Receiver Burleigh, of the Northern
Pacific, says Spokane can have the rail
road shops formerly situated at Sprague,
if the people of Spokane will fulfill cer
tain conditions. Tnis settles the ques
tion, for without any doubt the people
of Spokane will make all necessary con
cessions. The building of permanent
shops in that city will mean more for
its growth than the mere transferring of
real estate, though the amount reach
millions. A city with industries Tiav
ing pay rolls has prosperity within its
walls, and Spokane cannot bestir her
self too quickly to turn Mr. Burleigh's
promise into reality. We wish the man
agement of the O. R. & N. Co. would
make the same offer to the people of
The Dalles.
England is willing to consent to the
United States enforcing the Monroe doc
trine, provided an exception is made
in her fovor,and she be allowed to oc
cupy all the territory in South and Cen
tral America that she may wish. The
Monroe doctrine was not originated to
favor England, and cannot now be con
strued to please her. Now is the time
for this government to take decided
action in giving the burly Englishmen
to understand that the American people
are made of the same kind of stuff as
were their forefathers in 1776 and 1812.
COMMENT FROM IEASTERN ORE
GON EDITORS.
The famous Durrant trial is drawing
to a close. The people will be consider
ably relieved when this trial is at an
end and Durrant has paid the penal By
that he justly deserves. Too much
prominence has been given this trial,
and it is time a veil was being drawn
over this black and diabolical crime.

Spain exterminated the natives of

same with Cuba. Will the nations of

it, or indirectly aid her in the butchery.

To Have Freight Kates Reduced.
Mr. W. H. Biggs is in receipt of a
letter published below from business
men in Arlington. The object is 'a
worthy one and The Dalles will gladly
aid its neighboring city in solving the
transportation problem. This city can
give other places pointers on how to
secure cheap rates. It woul'd be well to
have a meeting of business men and
send a delegation to the Arlington meet
ing. The letter reads as follows :
Arlington, Or., Oct. 21, '95.
Dear Sir : It is desired that vou con
sult the business men of vour place and
others who mav be interested in the
matter of lower freight rates, and secure
a good representation of your section to
meet with us in Arlington on the 31st
day of October, at 10 o'clock a. m.
We have reason to believe that the
time is oDportune for some united action
in way of devising ways and means to
secure lower freight rates and will be
prepared to submit some practicable
propositions. The resslt of some inves
tigations makes it apparent that if any
thing is to be accomplished it must be
by united action of those interested who
contribute to the transportation route
above The Dalles. In view of this fact
please to hove yonr point tepresented.

scrofula
Any doctor will tell you
that Professor Hare, of
Jefferson Medical College,
Philadelphia, is one of the
highest authorities in the
world on the action of
drugs. In his last work,
speaking of the treatment
of scrofula, he says:
" .xt is hardly necessary to state that cod-liver
oil is the best remedy of all. The oil should
be given in emulsion, so prepared as to be
palatable." ,
He also says that the
hypophosphites should be
com Dined, witn the oil.
Scott's Emulsion of cod-
liver oil, with hypophos-
pnites, is precisely such a
preparation.
