complaint or our .sinlllnir, evergreen
valleya. The fault Is with in, and It
would ho well to examine the cane
critically to ascertain the nitimminof
the (lllllculty. The producer or Or
egon have been only moderately In
ilnstrloiis. nml thov have been buy
ing foreign goods on credit beyond
their ability to pay for. Yen,
that Is the prime dlllculty. We are
In debt to the retailers, they to the
inerehantu or Portland, they to the
merchants or S;iu Francisco, and
they, in turn, to those or New York,
liostou, England, France, China, and
tho Islands or the Ken. All am In
debt to tho .smart folks who drive
business and Hell more than they
buy, and to tho merchants and man
ufacturers, who lay up a profit upon
everything they Hell. IT people aro
in debt, there must always be cred
itors homowliere, mid pay-day U
never Torgotten or forgiven. Crops
may fail, but debts never diminish.
If wo had acted upon the motto or
"Cash down," wo should not bo as
wo are now. witli plethoric grana
ries and full-slocked farms, able to
supply breadstull's for Tour times our
population, and yet uttering cries or
distress. )ii-iltn Imh ttrrtvvtl ; and
if wo had received all that we ought
for our wheat, and could sell all that
we have for $1 per bushel, still we
should be behind tho hooks of for
eign capitalists. Is It the part of
wisdom to he mi deeply In debt that
any Utile decline In price, or falling
nil in the amount of production,
threatens. If not crlnnles. our busi
ness operations',' Certainly not. Vo
must always make allowance for
Mich changes, inasmuch as they are
of continual recurrence. The better
plan Is to keep our debts within the
bounds or 1 1 1 i it I it i ii ii i production and
price, and then we can lay ui some
thing almost every year. We inn-it
buy less and manufacture more, or
else we must produce moie or every
tiling that Is Nile iH e certainly I
ought to raNe enon. h or everything j
that we can to feed our own popula
tion, which we are not doing, and
never have clone fully. Why should '
we allow at this time a pound of'
Chicago pork, beef, chccnc, or butter J
to be sold In our market-'.' The dif
ference in the price of labor there!
and Here will not account lor it; nil
rereuce In tho cost of production will
not account Tor It; more extensive,
Improved, nml cheaper methods of
preparation will nip account for It;
init a narl inii-t be allowed to the
fact that th( producers of the .Missis-J
sippl valley .Stales are witisiled with I
less prellls than we Oregeulaus ore
lu the habit of asking. I
The truth is that our isolated mar-;
ket and niovlmity to tin gold Ileitis
have spoiled us, mid we are rather
poorly prepared to quietly M'ttlo
down to the prliiM which ruled be
fore the nnne.vitioii of California to
the 1'nltctl .Stales. Why, a simon
pure wehfuot begins to .-cowl when
wheat declines below a dollar per
bushel, when a cow will not bring
Sill, or wool lilc per lb., and, forget
ful of the Interests of the mtne-mtn
who.-o prayer.-' are daily ascending I
for cheap food and clothing, he Is
uvor hoping to return to the prices!
of the (lohlen Age or tho Territory, I
w lieu boys and men pitched j'.'ill for
iiuolts, when every liny was a holi
day, and people worked Just for the
pleasure or eercNe. I tut there can
do no Mich return. Prices must bo
regulated by the average results nfii
day's labor, and, Instead or waiting
Tor high prices until our markets are
roll ol foreign iiroduce. we ought to
receive, with most admirable pronqv
tltude and bravery, to compete with
the farmers of Illinois in supplying
the towns along the Willamette riv
er with buiier and ehee.se, beef and
pork. . us do An, oroivm iiVr
h nil our fuvtv. That man, or people,
who pun base more than they .sell,
must be always in I initio 1 place
supposed by Milton to bo the para
dio or reels, mid hy others to ben
region Isirdcrlng on hell both defi
nitions suit tho case. 1 presume,
however, that then' is no Intention,
by any Mine man, or buying more
than his products III hell fur. Still
ho goes on, puivhu-lng ills clothing,
gnn-orlo, hardware, and machinery,
without taking Into account the iki
slblllty of failure In emps, or the
happening ol' any incident atrectiiig
price, by which the undesircd Ixu
aucu against hlui is brought about.
Kveu among caluilatlng men, the
unfortunate balance sometimes ob
tains by a mis-speculation In rcgunl
to the price of prime articles 1m1
year, we got a fair prlco for wheat,
and an extraordinary one for wool,
and forthwith the assumption be
came current that horvafter the
prices or tbo-e articles would never
materially decline. Acting upon
that false assumption, we are now,
enjoving (ho delights of limbo. c i
have u little over half prlco Tor
wheat, and, from present apiiear-j
ances, we shall get only nbotit thirty
cents per pound for wool, a decline of
twenty icnts from last year.
