DECEMBER 23. 1S95 THE REAL WAR. quickly, to prevent enormous impor titionB in anticipation of duty. Revision of thfr whole tariff Ecbed ules ehould- not be, attempted. That would take too long, and would en counter factional opposition. All par ties ought to 8gree upon the legislation indicated as" a war measure. At the very least, the president ought to be wil ling to sign it, as a means of carrying out the nolicv of his meeeaee. This will stop the flood of imports which is press ing gold out of tho country, and so con tribute to defense as well as offense in our war of material interests with Great Britain. At the request of several people we publish the following editorial, which appeared in Saturday's Oregonian. It is about the best of the many articles written on the present situation, which has come to our notice, and ehould be read by all persons interested in this country and its future. The suggestions which are mal are capable of being carried out, and ilie soojer they are put into effect the better it will be for the people of the United States. The Ore gonian voices the sentiment of fair winded people when it says: Probably actual armed conflict be tween England and the United States will be averted for the present by the prudence of both governments. The United States is not prepared to fight anybody, and Great Britain is euro to have her hands full in the East before next summer. But the diplomatic clash over Venezuela reveals a clash of poli cies and purposes long understood by thoughtful persona in the United States, and often pointed out by The Oregonian, and now clearly recognized by Sir Charles Dilke, the cleverest British dip lomat. This contaii s the potency of armed conflict, whiclr-may be delayed, but cannot bo prevented. Its arrival is as certain aa the precession ot the equi noxes. Meanwhile this coming clash of arms will be anticipated by a clash of business interests. There will be a war of bourses and tariffs before there is con flict ot fleets and armies. There will be a financial and commercial war as soon j as tho forces can be mobilized, and this is quicker work than the organization of armies or tho preparation of naval ex pedients. The first blow in this war has j been etruck already by the concerted movement of great London financiers, in j close touch with tho government, to jlump large quantities of American se curities upon , the New York market. This already has had the expected effect in ' causing two or tliree failures and bringing about a general feeling of inse curity and alarm in financial circles, ad ding to the ever-present danger of shock to the national credit by new drain of gold. This emergency must be met, like an emergency of real war, with judgment and courage. The condition of our finances constitutes aa great a state of unfitness for war as the weakness of our army and navy. We cannot hope to meet the strain of even the preliminary conflict of stock markets without taking some measures to amend our currency system. The president pointed out the way in his message to congress, and be enforces it in a supplementary commu nication, urging that body not to take even a holiday recess until it shall have given assurance -that the national credit will be protected and the stability of money values assured by making pro vision for building up the gold reserve and retiring the excess of government credit currency. If the congress, which has 6hown so much patriotic enthusiasm, has judg ment and boldness as well, it will lose no time in taking the step the president recommends. That is the first defensive measure in the war of business interests and relations which has been precipi tated by the clash of diplomatic policies over Venezuela. Immediately after, or simultaneously, congress should take the first offensive step by declaring a tariff war -upon Great Britain. We must . strike at her weakest point, as she has struck at ours. She has etruck at our sensitive financial system We must strike back at her sensitive trade. She is sending back our securi ties. We must send back her goods. She lias wrought a panic in New York. We must cause grass to grow in the streets of Bradford and carry ruin to the stock exchanges of Manchester and Glas gow. This way we shall hold our own in the war of business interests. Congress should prepare a tariff bill immediately after the holiday recess, . framed with two main objects in view to exclude British goods, and to shut British ships out of our carrying trade. This can be done without any infringe ment of the "most favored nation' clause of treaties, and without giving any just ground for. dip'o natic com plaint. . Heavy duties should be imposed upon all manufacturers of wool, cotton aid iron, and the old" discriminating duties ehould be restored upon all imports in foreign ships. This ehould be done The mere suggestion of war between the United States and England serves to awaken the slumbering patriotism of the people. Everywhere there is an outburst of enthusiasm, which 6hows the mighty reserve force this country has. Did the United States possess ships and military equipment in pro portion to the glowing patriotism of its citizens, war with England would be thing of short duration. A war scare does good in stirring up the people to greater interest in their country's wel fare. The peaceful slumber of our citizens was awakened last night by the rattling of windows and dashing of the raindrops against the glass. It didn't take long to tell that a genuine chinook had struck the town. The wind from the west has been blowinj? all day - with alternate bursts of sunshine and showers of rain The streets are sloppy and the sidewalks covered with pools of water. From what can be learned the chinook is general all over this section of country and the enow is rapidly disappearing. The weather bureau predicts colder weather to come tomorrow. Coasting and sleigh ing is spoiled for the time, but the win ter is young yet and there will be plenty of snow to make the roads good for cutters.

The dance given Saturday evening by the Gesang Verem Hormonie was in every way a complete success. A merry crowd of people assembled at the ' Bald win opera house and whiled away the hours to .the strains of music. The managers of the affair were unstinted in their efforts to make every one of their guests enjoy the evening, and the re' suits were entirely successful. The floor was in good condition and the repeated encores asked for by the dancers ehowed that the music was much appreciated The dances given by the Gesang Verein have al trays been enjoyable events, and the one of Saturday evening followed in line with its predecessors. mil Whether Yoa Salter Froia 3 s Diffsr F3 ri pi U"B" Or ra Ecallhy asi Ea3 3- mm INSOMNIA -iS-REFRESHIHG SLEEP NERVOUS DEB!LITY-afi39SOUND NERVES GENERAL DEBI LITY-s3k-GOOD CONSTITUTION DYSPEPSIA -?Sa-FINE DIGESTION THE BLUES WBRIGHT SPIRITS T IMPURE BLOOD --A GOOD CONSTITUTION 0 DR.

In his last work, speaking of the treatment of scrofula, he says: " It 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 combined with the oil. Scotts Emulsion of cod liver oil, withhypophos phites, is precisely such a preparation. 1,000,000 People Wear W.LDouglas Shoes Baldwin Opera House, Tuesday Evening, Dec. 31, 1895.
