To tho Members of tho Committee
on Legislation of the Oregon Fann
ers' Unloi
Gentlemen: As tho regulations of
the Oregon Farmers' Union requires
a committee to report to tho Secretary
of tho Oregon Farmers' Union, with
in two months after tho date of tho
rcforenco of a subject to it, nnd ns
tho resolution of Mr. DImIck was re
ferred to us on the lJlth Inst., you
will at onco perceive the convenience
of our holding our consultation either
through tho medium of the press or
tho mall. In order to expedite tho
Investigation, I beg leave to address
tho members of tho committee
through tho Wii.t.amkttk I'akmi:k,
nnd that wo may bo ready for n re
port within tho time prescribed by
tho regulation it Is desirable that;
each member forward to mo cither
through tho mail or tho Willam-J
KTTK F.UMi:it his views ns fully us
possible, so that a roort can be draft
ed ami forwarded to tho members '
for signature at an early day. j
The members of tho committee j
will aNo bear in mind that tho reso-,
lutiim of Mr. Miuto was referred to
us for investigation and report, ho
that wo have but a short t line In which
to Investigate two very Important
subjects. J
Tho resolution of .Mr. DImIck reads ,
as follow: j
Jiexolmt, That it Is the opinion of
this Union, that the people ol' Oregon I
ought to adopt as soon as practicable, j
tho national currency as tho circula
ting medium of the country; uud hh
u necessary preliminary step towards I
such u consummation, wo demand i
tho repeal of the Specific Contract i
law, now iiH)ii our statute book." )
I am inclined to favor tho resold-1
tion, and recommend Us passage by I
the Union, for various reasons,
among which I will mention the fol-1
lowing: '
1st. I think tho financial language, I
measures of values, and circulation !
medium of our Statu should be in
unison with tho whole nation, of
which Oregon Isbut a trry umalt frui
tion. 2d. Owing to our national habit,
long indulged in, of over-trading, '
tho constant drain of gold and silver
from our country to Kuropo ami Asia
renders It only u question of time'
how long wo will have a circulating
medium In this Statu sufficiently
cheap to subserve as a medium of
exchange in our domestic exchange.
One of Oregon's prlmo wants Is an
addition to her present population,
of Anglo-Saxon, or at least of F.urop
ea 1 1 races. I think there Is force In
tho argument that the dlllcrotieo In
our currency from that of tho older
and emigrating States seriously re
tards emigration to this State..
ttli. Next to population, Oregon
wants capital, to enable her people to
develope tho natural re-ourcesofthe
and. Tho great mass of the money
n the United States Is In legal tender
totes; our. specific contract law acts us
virtual prohibition of this from our
Jtnte. Tho man who has a .surplus
1 ono of the old States of $1,000 or
10,000, will not invest It in Oregon,
here he must, before investing, '
submit ton discount of 15 to 20 per'
t'ii t. Ho can operate In Colorado, I
Now Mexico, or Texas, upon $10,000,
but In Oregon ho enn only do busi
ness upon nlwut $8;000. You mny
preach to hint until you nro hoarse
with tho specious argument that tho
purchasing power of $8,000 in Oregon
Is equal to $10,000 In Texas, but you
cannot mnka him see It, for ho can
purchase stock, merchandise, or
land, cheaper there for greenlmcks
than he can in Oregon for coin. Tako
n scat in any of our banking cstnb
llshmentsand watch thucountenance
ami listen to tho expressions of tho
newly arrived Immigrant as ho ex
changes tho prlco In greenbacks of
his homo in tho States for coin In
Oregon, so that ho can purchase land
In Oregon, and seo If ho can under
stand yon when you tell him he
loses nothing by the exchange.
6th. Oregon wants a reliable mark
et for its surplus farm produce, n
market more constant and uniform
in tho amount of its demand than
Kugland. There is much more prob
ability of finding this market in the
manufacturing States than anywhere
else. Hut can wo reasonably expect
tho manufacturing trades to submit
to tho discount and manipulation of
their money by a middleman as long
us they can purchase provisions of
those who tako their money at par?'
Very respectfully,
Gi:o. Ii. C'tmiiv,
Chairman.

Editor Wllliniclto runner
Sometime ago you kindly noticed
the fact that I was about to apply for
n patent Corn "Sulky Harrow." My
letters patent have been granted, and
I wish through tho columns of your
valuable paper to give the farmers of
our State some points of its superior
ity over the harrows in common
use.
1st. It does Its work more perfectly
than any other, while tho farmer
rides as comfortably us If In a car
riage. 2d. It enables u class of farmers too
old to walk, to do as much labor ns u
man in the prime of life.
.'M. it is us portable as a wire tooth
rake, and can by pulling u lever be
raised from the ground, thus e Meet
ing a rapid transit from ono part of
the farm to another.
-I tli. lly pushlugthe lever forward,
It can be made to harrow any desired
depth.
6th. Any ordinary span of horses
can draw It all day without any more
signs of fatigue than on u common
harrow. It harrows seven feet wide.
(Hh. Ono will last a common life
time except tho wheels.
Tin. it mes its work over uneven
ground better than any oilier, nnd
should tho ground have trash, such
us corn stalks, by pulling tho lever it
is Instantly cleaned.
Those are some of Its advantages,
mid I can recommend It to tho farm
ers of Oregon as tho only grout im
provement in harrows for tho last
century. I have harrowed In 176
acres of grain with It lu.st winter my
self, ami had I been compelled to
walk, I am sure that I should have
harrowed in none.
I shall probably bring ono down to
too Male fair tins rail, that our far
mers can Judgo of Its merits, nnd I
congratulate them that hereafter
harrowing will bo a mere pastime
Instead of toilsome labor.
Yours respectfully,
Jamkh F. Gazlky.

Correction.
Editor Wlllnmrttc Krmrrt
I wish to draw your attention to
some glaring mistakes in tho pub
lished proceedings of tho Oregon
Farmers' Union in tho last Issue of
tho F.UMi:it. For instance, In tho
report of tho Commltteo on Com
merce, more than halfway down tho
first column, after tho words "wrecks
within tho last," should follow tho
works, " twenty years than nt nny
other bnr-hurltor." And, again in
the same report near tho close of that
part signed by Messrs. Powers nnd
Mlnto, where they refer to Kastern
shipment, it should read "from 10 to
Mlporcont." Instead of "from 10 cents
to it.'tj cents per ton;" and whero San
Frunclsco Is referred to, instead of
"25 cents per ton on tho above rates,"
It should read " 26 per cent, on the
above rules." And further, thoro
was no such thing us miorlly unil
minority reports adopted; thoso re
ports wero referred to a committee
of five, with Instructions to make
them harmonise If possible, which
they did, and they should so nppear
the first part by Messrs. T. P. Pow
ers uud John Mlnto, and tho last
part tho production of Messrs. Joseph
Watt uud K. llartless. i. c.
