HIST.OJijr, OF FAMOUS TREATY.
Commercial America this year cele
brates the first centennial ot the first
great occurrence in its history. One
hundred years ago the successful result
of John Jay's mission to England,-witb
the full text of the treaty he had nego
tiated, had just bffn m .Ie known. This
treaty mark;) tlu line in American com
merce between constructive enccees and
doubtful uncertainty, sys the New
York Tribune.
Jay's treaty secured in the first place
a promise of peace at a time when such
a promise was urgently necessary to in
sure that tranquility indispensable to
nations or individuals who desire to put
their housed in order. . The treaty gave
the United States business in place of
-war, at a time when it was languishing
for want of profitable employment and
was in no condition whatever to invite a
new conflict. It secured peace with
honor, the exalted statesmanship of its
author perceiving that it was necessary
to grow in strength rather in aggressive
ness. By allowing no coercion of the
subjects of Great Britain or of the citi
zens of the United States, it established
a principle of individual liberty that wns
most salutary in its ' effects. It opened
to trade the door that had seemed to be
hopelessly closed. Not the leatt of the
good effects of thia treaty was the re
moval of all British troops and garri
sons within the United States, where
they were still held in violation of the
treaty of 1783.
The freedom of commerce and naviga
tion, then so vital to the prosperity of
the nation ; the absence of discriminat
ing duties on account of nationality ; the
appointment of commissioners to decide
on disputed questions of geographical
boundaries ; the introduction of the ad
mirable principle of arbitration to adjust
the claim of subjects of the one against
the citizens of the other country these
are but a moiety of the national benefits
conferred by the treaty negotiated by
Mr. Jay. The treaty was based on the
assumption that it was an instrument
affecting nations possessing the highest
civilization. The provision that private
debts and moneys were not to be inter
fered with between the people of the
two countries was a proof of this. Mr.
Jay, as well as Lord Grenville, recog
nized the truth of the principle that war
does not wipe out an obligation made in
dependent of war. The regulation of
the East Indian trade ; the equalization
of tonnage duties; the protection of offi
cers, passengers and crew 8 on neutral
vessels, and especially the clause rela
tive to the treatment of the subjects and
citizens of one nation in the dominions
of the other in time of war these pro
visions signalize the wisdom, the fore
thought and the unimpassioned commt n
sense which was the underlying princi
ple of the treaty which has conferred
lasting benefits upon our country.
ITS EFFECT IMMEDIATE.
History tells the story of the success
which followed the treaty. The mer
chants of the country felt ' the stimulus
of the new life at once. Foreign trade
jumped from $67,613,725 in 1794 to $117,
746,140 in 1795, and in 1796 it reached
$140,010,789 in amount. Shipbuilding
in America saw its first great boom.
Though foreign trade more than doubled
from 1794 to 1796, the proportion of
trade in America built ships was only
" 86 per cent of the whole in 1794, while
in 1796 it was 90 per cent of the more
than doubly increased whole.
In the opinions of the statesmen on
both sides of the water, war between
England and America is considered im
p.obable. Nearly all agree in thinking
an amicable settlement of the present
complication will be arranged. It is to
be hoped that right and justice mav be
done without an appeal to arms; but if
war is inevitable, the American people
will accept the issue and contribute seen
and money unstintedly. However much
peaceful relations may be desired, no
true American wishes to see this coun
try retract one iota from the position
President Cleveland has taken.
The last republican administration
Taid off $259,071,960 of the public debt,
reducing it from $844,106,220 to $585,
034,260. Under the present administra
tion, it has increased by $162,327,700, the
total, now:: standing . at $747,361,960.
There is argument enough in these few
figures to settle the presidential contest
of 1896.
SPIRIT OF THE PRESS.
Salem Statesman : The English news
papers need give themselves no worry
about the sentiment of the American
people. It was their sentiment impa
tiently expressed in ten thousand differ
ent ways that finally forced the message,
and it3 terms are not too strong to suit
the American people. Ajjd what it more,
they will fight it orit on the line even if
it requires a resort to the final arbitra
ment of nations. We cannot now re
cede, and no American wants to.
. Pendleton East Oregonian : The Walla
Walla Union says: "belfishneES impels
the hope that Senator Wilson will suc
ceed in getting his bill, for the construe"
lion of a government building in Walla
Walla, safely through the mills that
grind, and pasB inspection without a
veto." Yej, that's it. Selfishness alone
impels it. And such selfishness alone
impels a highwayman to hold up a stage
coach tnll of passengers. Why should a
newspaper uphold the robbery of the
whole people for its own town any more
than it would uphold the robbery of a
coach full of people for the benefit of a
highwayman 7 " The same principle is at
stake. Carried out in both instances,
the same result is secured. Such appro
priations are corrupt. They lead the
people to expect something for nothing,
and that is only to be obtained by
robbery.
The Look! and Their Completion.
Here is the way the Portland Dispatch
criticises the way the things have been
carried on in the building of the Cascade
locks :
It took a private corporation less than
two years to build the locks at Oregon
City, and the government has been
twenty-five years at work on the lower
cascades. The first estimates on this
work were about $1,200,000. Three
times this amount has been expended
and the work not yet completed.
The Moro Observer is of the opinion
that the tedious delay has been occa
sioned by the United States .engineers,
who have stood in the way.; Be this as it
may, money and time have been squan
dered at a fearful rate in this undertak
ing and still there is uncertainty at what
date the completion of tbo locks will be
accomplished. The people of Eastern
Oregon have learned patience,so that they
have ceased to murmur. The contrac
tors are on record of saying that boats
"will pass through the canal by March
1st, and the difference of opinion which
exists makes the subject a good one for
betting.' .
For the many accidents, that occur
about the farm or household, such as
burns scalds, bruises cut?, ragged
wounds, bitea of animals, mosquitos or
insects, galls or chaffed spots, frost bites,
aches and pains on any part of the body,
or the ailments resulting from exposure,
as neuralgia, rheumatism etc. Dr. J. H.
McLean's Volcanic Oil Liniment has
proved itself a sovereign remedy. Price

Anv doctor will tell von
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:
"It is hardly necessary to state that cod-liver
