A SOUND STATEMENT.
The Republican convention teemed
with sound money sentiment. Such
an overwhelming vote as the plat
form received shows how strong its
& sentiments were supported by . the
rank and file of - the' party. At no
convention - in . the' history of the
country was there, less trickery and
equivocation.- i ne ; piauorm adopt
ed is an honest statement of correct
beliefs. The candidates named are
- men of probity and ability.
Among many patriotic expressions
' made by eminent men none will carry
greater weight than this one uttered
by Chairman Fairbanks in his open
ing address. It is unanswerable by
the free silverites:
"As well undertake by a resolu
tion of congress to suspend the law
of gravitation as attempt to compel
. an unlimited number of 50-cent dol
lars to circulate with 100-cent dol
lars at a parit with each other.
. . ; A change from the
present 'standard to the low standard
"would cut down the earnings of
labor, reduce the value of the savings
i .r i i " j v..:us.. .1
loan associations, salaries and in
comes would sink, beneficiaries of
life insurance would suffer; in short,
the injury would be so universal and
far reaching that a radical chaDge
can be contemplated, only with the
gravest apprehension."
The fishermen's strike has been
declared off and taken its place in
". ,the graveyard of such movements.
The right or wrong is swallowed up
to a 'large extent in the sympathy
which is felt for the men, the dan
' gers of whose occupation fail of rec
ompense in the money earned. , How
ever much it may be wished that
the fishermen who spend their nights
in treacherous waters could receive
better wages, yet the laws of trade
are inexorable, and it is these laws
which clearly govern in the present
instance.
The predictions made early in the
year that The Dalles would be rec
ognized as the great wool market for
the West are being verified. Our
warehouses are daily receiving im
mense quantities, and the end is not
in sight. The fact that no satisfactory
price is being offered is not due to
any local conditions, but because of
national legislation enacted by the
' friends of Australian wool producers.
Whenever the market opens, if it
. ever does, it will be found that
; higher prices will be paid at The
Dalles than anywhere else. '
And now the Populist leaders
publicly adopt Teller into the fold
and indorse him Tor the presidency.
Well enough; let the issue be be
tween Populism and good govern
ment and see which the American
people will decree. Free silver, fiat
money, government control of rail
ways and telegraphs oposed to pro
tection, sound money and vigorous
government. There can be no strad
die on these points, and every voter
will be called upon to decide clearly
'between them. What shall the ver
dict be?
Water seeks its level, and so da
politicians " finally. ' That is what
Teller, Dubois et al have just done.
They have been Populists in deed
for a long time, but have just as
sumed the name.
William C. Whitney refuses to be
a delegate at large to the Democratic
National Convention. Whitney is
wise in his generation and knows
when it is time to leave a sinking
ship.

STATISTICS MAY ERR.
Figures Never Lie, rtnt Their Basil May
He Faulty.
Figures may not lie, but on the bae&
of statistics may sometimes be very
faulty. Commenting on this limitation
of the statistician's science, Carroll TS.
Wright points out that, in the matter
of crime, the number of sentences in a
given state may vary with the legisla
tion. Laws are constantly being passed,
Air. Wright says, to raise moral delin
quencies to the grade of positive crimes,
and then, after a time, such laws may
.be repealed, with the result of vitiating
conclusions obtained by comparing
one year with another. This is illus
trated by the record of liquor legisla
tion ' in connection with crimes. Pro
hibitory legislation seems uniformly to
increase drunkenness, for the. reason,
in large part, that it increases, if en
forced, the number of convictions. A
new class of statistics is called into ex
istence. It is to be noted also that, as
a rule, the authorities of large cities
are opposed to prohibitary laws, deem
ing licensee more rational or expedient.
They are accordingly often led to en
force prohibitory laws with extreme
rigor in order to make them odious and
secure their repeal. With a license law
they are lenient in making arrests of
drunken persons. Thus it comes about
that statistics seem to prove prohibition
extremely prolific in crime, while li
censes promote virtue. In any . case,
errors enter the record by reason of
want of uniformity in methods in vari
ous parts of a given state. This want
of uniformity at a particular date is ex
ceeded by the variations between dif
ferent dates. In recent years statistics
are better kept than formerly, with the
effect fit appearing to show an increase
Df crime. But appearances are deceptive
in this ease, Mr. Wright t hinks. InlSSO
the number of convicts in penitentiaries
was 37,538, or 709 to themillion of popu
lation. In 1890 the number of convicts
was 45,233, or 722 to themillion of popu
lation. WOOD MOST USED.
Fine la Fashioned Into the Greatest Va.
rlety of Products.
Oak can be put to the greatest variety
of uses, but as a matter of fact pine
wood is most used. A phenomenal de
mand for the latter in the wood-pulp
industry has arisen within recent years.
Over 1,000,000 tons of wood pulp were
produced in the United States alone in
1894, and 240,000 tons in Norway and
Sweden, the bulk of it from pine. Pine
is also largely used in ship" and house
carpentry, ' and . it is adaptable to
so many purposes, and is eo abundant,
that it has come into almost universal
requisition. Common turpentine is ex
tracted from it, as are also tar, pitcji,
resin and lampblack. Splinters of the
rtesinous roots ore used by the High
landers instead of candles.
J Fishermen make ropes of the inner
lark, and the Karotchatkans and Lap
landers steep the latter in water to
'make a coarse kind of bread. The oil
obtained from the snoots of the dwarf
pine is used medicinally by the peasants
of Hungary, while the soft-grained sil
ver fir is used for the sounding boards
of musical instruments, and the Ger
mans employ it almost exclusively in
their vast toy factories. The wood
used in the manufacture of lucifcr
matches is mostly pine, and the aggre
gate amount of pine wood used in these
various industries exceeds that of all
other kinds of wood put together.
