Depending entirely upon a single line of railroad, our merchants were compelled to paj freight rates greatly in excess of what they should have been. This condition was ameliorated only through persistent agitation nnd the efforts of our citizens, which resulted in an independent line of steamers being placed upon the river. This "brought freight rates to their proper level. With the advent of compet ing transportation, the business of Ihis city received a great impetus, and attention was directed to this place because of the recognized ad vantages which The Dalles held over other Eastern Oregon towns. No other factor has done so much tow ard the upbuilding of this city as the starting nnd maintaining of the boat Jine. The completion of the Cascade Locks has. removed forever any pos s'.bility of the merchants of The Dalles becoming the prey of foreign monopoly. Low freight rates are permanently secured, and the bene fit can hardly be overestimated. Some are making the mistake, however, of supposing that this alone provides for the permanent prosper ity nnd growth of The Dalles. This is hardly the case, notwithstanding it is a great aid in such a direction. Other means must be provided to continue and increase the trade now coming to this point, so that com pensation may be had for the loss of territory which may be tapped by the building of railroads from other places. There are two propositions which must be kept ever in view by those who have at heart the city's welfare. One is that a better system of roads leading into the interior must be de vised; and the other is that the man ifest destiny of The Dalles, if proper ly worked out, is to become a manu facturing center. The arguments in favor of these contentions have been .repeated so often and are known so well that it is useless to state them lere; but the time has come, or is Mainp last, wheu something more tha were acknowledgement of their fSTM will, suffice. We cni.not live iunnplj:m P8t alone ; it is nec mrjf ftp, fJrfl 'or tb future, and 1fcii,ytr, tk wiuds of many, de Mm wlielUw we intend to fulfill our destinj', or lcl it slip by unnoticed, as many other good things have done. The position occupied, by Presi dent McKinley just now is peculiarly a hard one. Upon him rests the responsibility of settling the Spanish difficulty without war, if possible, and at the same time satisfy the de mands of the American people, the great majority of whom favor ng gressive movement in the direction or war. Today will probably de termine whether or not congress it self will take the matter in charge. The president has acted most honor nbly nnd creditably in nil his negoti ations, and congrcs would do well to allow him n little more time in bring ing Spain to terms. At the same time none will deny that the incen tive and provocation for congress to declare war immediately' is groat. Now is the time for statesmanship in the Republican party to come to the front, aud for the "politicians" to go the rear. Republican success nest June depends altogether upon the wisdom shown in party councils between no v and the close of the As toria convention. Nothing can be more certain than that a bolt by a disgruntled faction at that conven tion will mean Populist success at the polls. Outside of Multnomah county the party in the state is united, nnd the delegates who attend the convention should do now, as they should have done two years ago, ig nore the Multnomah county light and make nominations which shall appeal to the commendation of the people at large, whether the meet the views of the professional politician or not. Representative Ellis has had the honor of presiding over the house ot representatives during an absence of Speaker Reed. This is a compli ment to Oregon's congressman which his friends will appreciate. Chamberlain's Cough Remedy.
