"We take the following extracts from a
communication' ia XLe'Heratd of last Tues
day': .
The's'anic Company (P. T. Co.) as yon
'are5 probably aware, had a bill before tlie
"Legislature lor the same purpose, but the
committee rejected it on account of its
nrovidins for wooden locks, which would
last onlv ten years. thought it all
right then, but as the bill liit-od to pass,
and other parties, some of whom are
Democrats, obtained the charier, there
-Was 'considerable of a differenc'. you
Vno'.v. ' 1 opine
tluit anv'mah or 'party whvSeftnts that
treasure will rue it so long as the people
'of Oregon, who are more deeply interest
Vd in its completion than any railroad in
ihe -State, have a chance to express them
selves at the-ballot box. If ihe Republi
can party desire to do so as a partisan
measure, they are welcome to their ef-
i'orha.
, . Itavin'g advocated (he "cast side locks,
Ve feel it oar duty to state the reason
and protest against the Democracy as
Btiming this tfieasnre as a party move. In
' Ybetirst place, there are as many Radicals
i benefitted by the west sid charter as
O -Democrats Uave luompson ana i. uoiu
' smith arqMhe principal owrN-rs frr-i they
'-"'are representative men of the Radical fer-
Buasion ; and in the next place, it was car
ried through ly 'being corruptly conncct
- ed with the infa'mons subsidy swindle.
-' -Woth fiensnres vent hand in hand, and
jfltose who procured the passage of the
west side lock bill were the most indus
- trious workers to secure the passage of
the Portland $300,000 bill. .We favored
l.he passage of the east side lock bill for
the following reasons : First, it was pro
posed (and there are as many Democrats
: in the P. T. Company who hold stock as
there, are in the west side company in pro
' jrortioh to its vMrto) by the P. T- Com
pany to build the locks for $7o,td0 less
than the Willamette Canal Co'irnanv re
teived ; and the esfevtloii that they were
to be built of wood is not true, as an at
tempt was made to amend the bill passed
by insetting the -'east side" in place of
''tie " west side," and $125,000 instead of
$2t(W, ft ml tho two bills wer'.: identical
Second, the only hope of a successful cont
peUtion to the railroad was to s'rengthen
a company on the Willamette that would
be able to compete with Hoiladay in the
carrying trade, and this could be done
fcrtore successfully by giving aid to an or
ganised company, with its means already
on the river, and which would not be
likely to soil out to the railroad and thus
become the property of one gigantic mon
opoly, and become a burden, not only on
the east side of the river, but also on the
west, as freights would be raised to com
pel people on the east side to ship by rail-
road, and the boats would only be used to
'clear awrty the products of the west side
counties which are not accessible to tlie
railroad, Mv. Hoiladay, with the aid of
ever-ready fault-finders, may be abl? to so
cripple the P. T. Company as to reduce
their stock, and even worse, force them to
Fell out to him, and then what will be the
condition of the producers and shippers
, or this valley ? They will be completely
fit the niercy of this monopolist, and com
pelled to pay hint whatever lie may ask.
We will be met with the reply that he
fcannot be successful in this move, as the
canal will be constructed and jthcr pcr
Bons will build boats. Would not this
liave been the case had the subsidy been
givefP to the P. T. Company? They pro
posed to' accept the same conditions which
are in the bill passed. We will again be
fret ifv the groundless assertion that the
f. t. Co". Tvould not have built the locks.
To this we say, and do So knowingly, that
they were ready and expressed themselves
so, to sign a bond that they would con
. Struct the locks and accept the conditions
Oof the bill before it was signed. We be
lieve the only safety for our farmers is in
a steam'b'oat line on the Willamette, and
Should Ben. Hoiladay ever become the
owner of the boats and franchises, the
farmers and shippers will be completely
O ftt his mercy, in the same manner as they
are now from Portland to San Francisco.
hy is it. that it costs as much lor freight
from San Francisco to Portland as it does
.from New York to Portland ? Bedause
the Ben. Hoiladay Company lhtve a suc
cessful rhoiiopuiy of the trade. The
steamers runuirg between S.m Francisco
and Portland pay for themselves every
year, and yet we find no successful com
petition is put otigthat route against him.
and eo one can claim that that is not a
free and open channel. Suppose he Vuvs
these b'o.its on the illametle, will not
tfet be a like monopoly ? The construc
tion of locks does not prevent such a cal
amity, lie' or any one el.-e can pass their J
boats through, but he will make it so that i
it eerrpeiuion can be succc.sinl against
him, as he will either buy or drive them
O
3tT, having the means to do so. Any per
sav who has the judgment of a child can
see the deplorable Condition in which our
- shippers would be should such ends be
Consummated", and mi less the people will
stand bo a strong company and sustain it,
they may expect this to be the icsult. We
a'remjt.the champion" for the P. T. Com
pany, bilt it is1 our purpose to set before
the people facts as they exist, and to warn
them of approaching danger.
The reasons for which vre protest this
lock bill being made a party measure are
few. and to us important. Messrs. Whal
3ey and O'Rvgan' voted for the lock bill
ih exchange for vgtes to tire infam'ous sub
sidy bill ; Messr. Fhrhart and Ilolnrm
vb'.ed for it for Votes to appropriate money
for public buildings at Sal-m. and we
might mention other reasons, among which
vhs that the members from' this county
Were kept out of their justly entitled seats
bt-catt.-e' they would vote for neither the
0u;0O0 swindle or the west side locks ;
and further, the bill for the ta'st side was
murdered by the Committee, and not by
the Legislature, afttl that said murder was
committed by undue influence'ori the part
of the friends of the west side. Had the
bill been reported back, as it ouht to
bve been, it would probably have passed!
if
V
We have some personal friends in both
these companies some whom we prize
highly in the West side company and we
would do anything consistent with our
duty to the people at large in favoring
them, but when their interests come up
against those.cf Vhe masses, we may al
ways be found on the side of the people
and their interests.
The Treasury Taking too much.
Money frcm the People.
The New York Herald is not a very
strong admirer of the. financial policy of
Mr. Bormvell, and is becoming very sick
of the Republican party generally. We
take tlie following from its 'columns in re
lation to the policy of the Secretary of the
Treasury 1
The Secretary of the Treasury s"?erns to
have but one idea, and that is to accumu
late the largest amount of money possible
in the- coffers of the government. He
loves to gloat over the mass of wealth
ilre're ab a miser does over bis money bags,
lie imagines, wo suppose, that lie can
point to thfs as rbe result of his wisdom in
administering the affairs of the Treasury
Department, and say to the people, see
how carefully 1 have collected the reve
nue and piled up your wealth. But he
underrates the feaa'cify of the people.
They can sei that this enormous and sur
plus revenue this vast unemployed capi
tal of a hundred millions andup.vards
is wrung from their hard earnings. It is.
in fact, an unnecessary and monstrous ex-
action from
n overtaxed peofle. The
hundred to a hundred and fifty trillions
which Mr. Boutwell keeps hoarded up all
the time, and has kept hoarded from the
time he took charge of the Treasury, is so
much inone' taken away from productive
industry. Jn the hands of t?e people it
would earn a much larger sum and add
greatly to the wealth of the nation. But
that i not the enty loss. Lying in the
Treasury Vaults it is dead capital. Put
out at interest, or, what would have
amounted to nearly the same thing, ap
plied to the liquidation of the debt, from
six to nine millions a year would have
been saved. Tlie Secretary has lost for
the country from twelve to eighteen mil
lions during the time he has been in office
by this ridiculous policy of hoarding.
This loss, as we said, is in addition to
what the people, have lost in having the
money taken aV. ay from U:eir industrial
pursuits unnecessarily. The remark of
the Saviour about the unprofitable servant,
who had kept his master's talent wrapped
up unemployed is applicable to Mr. L'out
well. Poll Tax.

Qi EEit OrmsiTiox. An up-Valley paper
is continually pitching into the P. T. Com
pany, and crying lustily against monopo
lies and the high prices charged for
freight, and at the same time finds fault
with the high rates of freight by railrdad.
Yet this same paper heartily endorses the
opposition that is connected with Ben.
! Hoiladay s railroad oh the Yamhill liter.
How would it be if the P. T. Company
were to withdraw their boat from the
Yamhill trade? Would not Ben. Holla
day and the opposition steamer become a
monopoly en that route? The only thing
that can be done for the benefit ofpliip
pers is to fos'er and encourage a strong
and wealthy company against tlie railroad.
This will conipel both to be moderate iri
their charges. When one is killed oft" the
other will become an extortion on the
Community. We are net ill f.ivc'r ef either
of these companies, but desire to sttstain
that which is best calculated to benefit the
people of our vaNey and State.
Reamzixu a Fact. A correspondent of
the Herald, from Salem, says of the occa
sion of the opening of the new hotel at
that place' :
Speeches were made by Messrs. G rover,
Miller." Mooros. Cooke, Clark and others.
Hon. Ben. Ilayden was called for but did
not come to time. Ben. says since he has
about quit making t:peeehes where noth
ing is to b said ! Says he made one dl
Albany on the excursion tt'p, trying to
say nothing, but found himself in a few
days famous ; his rpeech quoted in all tlie
papers in the State, and thinks he didn't
succeed exactly on the plan marked out.
Ben. is a good "political fpeaker. lull don't
seem to be fort (Urate in the railroad line,
p.s at Albany he got off the road and into
politics, and the Bulletin and Vrojnnian
don't puff hiin much on his last effort in
your city.
We are glad that our friend Ilayden has
realized the actual condition of matters so
soon.
During the late election D. P. Thomp
son, the principal owner of the west side
locks, was Ben. Ilollf'day's chief striker'-
in this county, and did more than any
other Radical to defeat the Democracy.
The (HiestiotT has been asked us whether
he has not procured the lock franchise lor
Hoiladay 's benefit; Mayor Goldsmith is
also an ally of Hoiladay. The sentiments
of these men are in" complete haftrfony
whh the railroad king.
Goon. Hon. W. T. Xewby, State Sena
tor from Yamhill, has subscribed $250' to
the $100,000 levy of Ben. Hoiladay, and
proposes to raise the amount to $500. pro
vided that those Representatives from the
west sid'e counties who, sifppofted the
$300,000 swindle each glv'e that amoun.
The proposuiion is' a good one, and we
predict that those who have been so zeal
ous in voting a debt on other people will
fail to " come to time.''
Tew Taper. A paper has been started
at JacfconviRa under the name of the
Time?. We hive not seen the paper as

The Political Outlook "Republican
Leaders Despondent-
A Washington correspondent of the
New York Htrald, under date cf the 27 th
nit, has the following political news :
The Republican Senators and members
who have remained here over the recess
have bed ample time. to discuss the pros
pects of the party for the ext Presidential
election in connection with recent events.
There is no disguising the fact that the
majority of them are desponden',. and es
pecially the experienced politicians who
are in the habit of looking ahead. They
con-cede ttat the STccth, with the er.eep-tion.-perhf.pa,
of South Carolina., is hope
lessly Democratic, and "that whoever may
be the Democratic candidate in 1872. will
get the full Southern vote, with the above
exception. To overcome this it will be
necessary for the Republicans to carry all
the great States of the North, including
Pennsylvania, Ohio and Indiana. The
first and the last are doubtful, and the
leaders of. the Republican party are of tlie
opinion that von with Grant for a candi
date nothing can save them but the blun
ders of the Democracy. , Should the Dem
ocrats put forward candidates witti a good
record and a decent platform there seems
to be little doubt of their success. The
Republicans, however, seem confident
that the Democrats will repeat the folly
oflSGS, and thus enable them to re ta'n
power.
Cpixk.sk. The San Francisco Examiner
has the following in regard to a decision
rendered by the Supreme Court of Cali
fornia, wherein the legality of Chinese tes
timony was at issue :
The Supreme Court have rendered a de
cision sustaining the validity of the State
law, excluding Chinese testimony against
a white man. This is a most interesting
Case, as it treats on points of political l iw
involving the relation's of State and Na
tional Government. The Court decide
that tii era is nothing in the law of this
State touching Chinese testimony in con
flict with the Constitution of the United
states or any of its amendments, and that
consequently no act of Congress can re
peil a State law bearing upon subject
matter expressly in the scope of their re
served rights.
Dead Dl'c'k Fokney is anxious to sell
the Washington Chronicle, a paper that
has heretofore been known as the special
organ of the President. This desire to
sell originates in a little " onpleasantness"1
that has sprung up between Grant and
the "dead ditck.'7 Grant bad ordered
Forney to attack Sumner on account of
his (Sumner's) opposition to the San Do
mingo swindle. Forney feared to measure
swords with the great Massachusets ora
tor, and so declined to obey the Presiden
tial mandate. Grant of course, was in
dignant at this refusal to carry out his
wishes, and so the ' dead duck" is out
of favor at court and compelled to sell
his paper.
Beet Scak Mam eacthu:. The Beet
"Sugarie'' at Alvarado, California, about
20 miles from San Francisco, on the oppo
site side of the Bay, was established last
fall, at a cost of" about $125,000. It
made its frst sugar on the 17 1 h of No
vember laSt. Its sugar Was of the finest
quality and has recommended itself so
well that it is in demand not onlv through
out the State of California, but there is a
heavy and increasing demand for it in the
markets of Oregon. Wellington, Nevada.
Utah, and Colorado. The demand is four
times greater than the amount produced
at -the facto! y, which is four tons daily.
Already a dividend of 40 per cent, on the
capital stock has been declared, and the
prospects o.
the company are golden
enoiign to satisiy any one, it would seem.
While the success of this enterprise will
richly reward those who have embarked
their capital in it, it will also prove of
vast benefit to the Slate of California and
this coast. There is lio reason why a siui
ihr investment would not be profitable In
this State. Who questions our ability to
raise as good beets and us many of them
as they can raise in California? And
who, after a success so decided as that of
the Alvarado " sugarie" can doubt its be
ing a profitable investment here '? We
have men of capital aed enterprise among
us. and a similar inves'imwit in this State,
could not well help being both remunera
tive to the parties, and a public benefit.
The Salem Statesman of January 18;h

other Oregonians waited oh the President
recently, to urge the claims of Geo. 11.
