A MORIBUND-. CITY.
Portland people ore urging each
other to do something towards secur
ing a share of the Alaska trade, and
kicking each other because that other
does not do the said something. We
realize the natural advantages Port
land has, and we understand the ca
lamities in the shape of her own
business men, with which she has to
contend.
Portland will not control the
Alaska trade, or any part of it, for to
do so she would hare to become pro
gressivc. Unfortunately, Portland
is so happily situated that for the
first thirty years or more of her exis
tence she did not have to reach out
for trade. Everything came to her,
and her business men sat in their
offices and levied tribute on the Jbal
i ance of the country. That time has
passed, and she has vigorous rivals.
Seattle merchants are selling goods
that Portland should sell air through
Eastern Oregon; and, woise yet, all
through the "Willamette valley.
Portland is not reaching out for
trade, but is sitting wiih folded
bands, her business stagnant, while
her more energetic neighbors are
taking from her "even that which
she hath." Portland is the deadest
town on the coast, and yet one of
the richest
IS IT CORRECT?
They who think that silver may
rise as a result of the great output of
gold in Alaska overlook, the fact that
increase in- the total supply of money
diminishes the demand for that which
is least desirable. When there is
gold enough for the monetary uses of
all nations, none will use silver, and
it will have only commodity value.
As that condition approximates, its
price will fall, and every addition to
the stock of gold will send it lower.
The South African gold discoveries
sent down the price of silver, and
those in Alaska will have the same
effect. Oregonian.
This being accepted as true, will
our contemporarj explain why silver
went to a premium of about two per
cent when the California gold fields
. were struck? And suppose, for in
stance, (which is only supposition)
that gold shou.'d be found in such
abundance that silver would become
the scarcer metal, which ' would be
the more valuable? It is a plain
proposition that if gold becomes
plentiful enough, it will cease to be a
precious metal. Does it not follow,
then, that anything tending to make
the amount of gold as compared to
silver greater, also tends to enhance
the value of the silver?
Whatever is worth having is worth
fighting for. The Dalles, owing to
its situation, Las always commanded
a good trade; but its supremacy is
attacked. That attack it must meet
The railroad through Sherman county
will not affect trade much tor a year
or two, but in time, especially if it is
extended south ten or twenty miles
from Wasco, it will do more or less
injnry to our trade. We do not pre
tend to say that a railroad up the
Deschutes will prevent this, for we
do not know the country through
which it runs, nor are we familiar
with the circumstances or situation
under which the proposed road would
have to seek its patronage. That
may, or may not, prove the solution
of the problem; but at least it is
worth examining v into. ItJ is pro
posed to have a survey made, but it
strikes us the first thing to do is to
study into the topography of the
country ' the other side of the Des
chutes, and find out if with the rail
road built it will command the wheat
shipments, or continue to control the
wool trade. . If it will, the road
should be built; . if not, not. The
Dalles has the ' money to build the
road; the only queston is as to the
amount of benefit to be derived.
That should be looked into, and that
at once.
The stock market is the surest
measure of the actual effect of legis
lation upon the interest of 1 the sugar
trust. Judged by this test, the con
ference committee's schedule is dis
tinctly favorable to the trust. When
the Dingley bill went to the eenate,
sugar certificates were selling at 115
When the bill came out of the sen
ate caucus, they were selling at 125,
When the bill went into the hands of
the conference committee certificates
were selling . at 129. Since the bill
has been in conference the' price has
advanced to 137 J. There was a de
cline from this point last week, but
yesterday upon publication of the
conference agreement the stock sold
up to 141 1. Here is an advance of
$26f on- every share since the Ding
ley bill passed the house. It is clear
that somebody thinks the conference
report better for the trust than the
house bill. Oregonian.
The house attended to business

record-breaking time. The venera
ble relics of bygone days who drone
away the summer days in stilted
phrase and senseless debate, and who
are known as senators, will probably
fool away a week or more in their
metaphysical discussions.

What use is therein eating when food
does you no good in fact, when it does
you more harm than good, for such is
the case if it is not digested?
If you have a loathing for food there
is no use of forcing it down, ior it will
not be digested. Yon must restore the
digestive organs to their natural strength
and cause the food to be digested, when
an appetite will come, and with it a re
lish for food.
. The tired, languid feeling will give
place to vigor and energy ; then you will
put flesh on your bones and become
strong. The Shaker Digestive Cordial
as made by the Mount Lebanon Shakers
contains food already digested and is a
digester of foods as well. Its action is
prompt and its effects permanent.

has all the virtues of Castor Oil and is
