Oregon and Wasingtou in tlio hands of a litis

MR. VILLAUDU PKOMISES.
Wo publish ill full, this week, tho address
of Mr. Vill.ud tn tho niei chants of 1'oitl.uul,
m herein lie ticats fully of ery iiupoitant
initti'ia and explains all hu connection with
our past as will as his intentions mid expecta
tions for tho futmo. ltiuut ha home minimi
that Mr. V ill ml was not a uch man whin ho
oaino to Oregon as tlio agent of the tienuaii
lioiidholdris who hail houi Mc'limicd by the
reckless courso of lieu llolladay. Ho found
nutters hero depressed, but ho readied tho
possibilities of this legion nud sas tlist long
ago hu ooik'ehcd tlio plans ho has lately cu
rie 1 out, nud has labeled continually toi their
fulfillment Ho induced Ins fi inula to pur
climo tliu rotten ttoaiuiu of ltcu llolliday
mid rephiod t lit in with the liost chiiaoter of
iron ships; afttrwanls tlieyweie i iieoui agetl
to buy out tho Ongou Steam Navigation
Compiny, ulurh, as ho says, was cousolidatcd
with the ocean lino and was tho foundation
for all that lias mice bn accomplished.
Tho nitdress covers iupoit-tut point ami
tlnws that tlio aK.iU-r has iuterokd himself
toil cdopo this region in all prtctictblfl ways.
Capt. (Soiling is a eouimauder ot tho United
States Niy, who lately brought over tho
Kgyptiau oU'lUk from Alexandria to Xru
York, which was a remarkable fiat of engi
peering. It Is cudcii that ho was brought
hither as u ev'wrt in national alfain and
ocean tranjxilttiun, to lulpsohe tho prob
lcnn thereto lth nupect to the CohimUx
riicr. He talks sumo to 1'ortUiul about goin
ahead to protect her own interest by tho ex
ercise of some entcrprito and the use of some
money, which merchants and property owners
can well afford. It will bo something new, of
course, for tho city of Portland has shown no
enterprise to speak of, except to buy and sell
to the bust advantage. Such a casting of
bread upon tho waters will be new to them,
and they will desert o littlo credit if it is done
because it is a purely selfish act and is neces
sary for self-prescnation.
The Whi.ami.ttr Faumhi has repeatedly
in jeais past expressed tho opinion that with
the wealth accumulated hcie and the natural
advantages of position, Portland must be a
railroad center, and her merchants could own
and control all other points whcie shipments
of produce can be made and control tlicm en
tirely fcr their own interest. No otliei jour
nal has in five years past broached such an
idea, while the Fatimkk has consistently held
so for years past, and now comes Ml. Yillard
and tolls them the same thing. Ho also dcclai es
it tho duty of Portland to clear out tho Will
amette and Columbia ritcrs from hero to the
mouth, a position that the Fahmkii has repeat
tdly taken. Wo confess to feeling satisfaction
that tlio opinions concerning such important
matters that wo Jliavo advanced, alone of all
Oregon and Washington journals, should le
put fm til at this critical timo by the highest
possible aiithonty.
Opt. (Joriingo has also devised for Mr.
Vill.ird a scheme for transporting grain in
immense steamers, mound by way of tlio
.Stiaits of Magellan, which ho shows cm ho
douoon a freiget of 00s, which is loss by oer
a third than tlio into at tile present time, and
as the passage cin bo m.ido with reasonable
certainty in much shoitcr time than by sailing
cs.stls it will bo a gnat advantage to our
commerce to hau tho scheme inaugurated.
Mr. Villard also speaks of the establishment
of rolling mills and eonstiuctioii ot a diy dock
hcie, and wo are infounid that elevators are
to be built wherever needed so that thaw heat
ciop of lountiy can be handled at all points
in tho best and cheapest manner.
In his addiess at Walla Walla Mr. Vill.ud
usscittil that the intention was to havo tho
cutctprhes under his management hold the
position of "benevolent coi porations" towards
the people of this favored legion. Mr. Vil
lanl himself lcoks and acts like a man of largo
humanity as well as of gnat biain power. Ho
seems to look at innttcis with thecjoofa
humane man as well as a speculator, and wo
nio willing to bclioe that In-really means
what ho says and has not used tlio term "bo
notolcut coipoiations"iuiiony. Ho lias only to
tieat tins people fairly and bo content to take
unsonablo piofit for tho use of the immense
money expended and to bo expended, to win
and dtsouo tho L'ood will and lcgaid of tho
gicat mass of produceis. Woaro undoubted
ly fortunate in hat ing had his attention tin nod
in thisdiieclion, and in possessing his encigy
ami will power, coupled with his great brain
and cool judgment, to aid 111 developing this
nun enso icgiou. 'Iheio aro many who aie
incipiblo of doing justice to gi at success or
in putting faith in w lutein' human numls
in ly devise and capital n'.iy execute, but wo
belieto that Mr, Villaid has only to oairy out
his piofesiious in good faith to possess tho
roniidcnio of pioduecrN.
ABOUT TONNAGE AND rREIOUTS
Wo icceivo m cvch.ingo a aluaolo journal
published at St. Louis, e ailed the (liitin .'
Wen', fioni whiih Wo gather information of
use to oui uadi is. Ono tact that stiikes us
foitibly is that fieight rates have dtclincd on
ouean and land loutesntthu Hist, so that it
costs HficntH a bushel to send whtat fioni
Milw auke.) or Chicago to New Yoik, and but
S cents a bushel to take it by stiam from Now
Yoik to l.ivcipiol, while at tho samo tune
18.S0 charges wire 11 einls to Now oik, and
11 conts fi.ni New York to Liverpool. 'Ibis
proves Hat the ralo wo now paj has no con
nectioii with charges for freighting on the At'
hintie, and rncoiiragcs us to bcliovo in tlio
plan of putting heavy steamers on tho route
from the Columbia liver to l.ugl.iud.
If vie examine the list of charters leported
at Sm I'lancisco wolind when evtr wo come
aeiuss u vissel that cailsyct under the orig
inal chatter undo to come hither, that it was
contracted for at Mis to COs per ton. Tin so
two points show that farmers lieio can secure
st ips at living prices if they have thoentei
prise to do so. Our proposition would be to
hivo fanners liinl out what rate will pty
ships a good liv ing freight and alway s hew illing
to chaitirnt that liguio. Then the) would
bo Blue of n fair deal all round.
Wo bIioiv, elsowlieu, how easy and simple
tho busiutss of shipping is: that any cumpany
of faunas can sicuiu a chaiter aim ho inde
pei.ilcnt ; alto that any oigaiiiiation of farm-
rs in any community can borrow money on
wheat at loiseiiable iutcttst rs soon as it is
stoicd or shipped. All that fanners need is
to form a syndicate to wink with ; determine
what they want to do and then do it.
Several friends allude in complimentary
terms to the tditoual publtthcd Oct. U, It
is easy enough to suite, but how-to stir up
the pievluce-rs of tliis region to act is the most
iinp.il taut thing. Wu expect now that many
of them vi ill sit down supinely and wait for
Mr. Villard to work out thtir salvation for
them.
WUTIACL MATTERS.
President Arthur has not jet nominated
in Cabinet except to oiler tho Treasury to
. ti. r Morgan of New York, who has
posii declined. Tho President seems at
fault taking choice of Cabinet ofticialt,
but pi. ims to complete Humiliations this
week,
AuisUiit-Poatmister General Tyner has
resigned, but insists that ho can cxplaiu oil
matter in bis own favor,
Coi:klir is tilled of as a successor to
Secretary udoni, but his name is received
with great ilissatiifaction by tho pros of the
United States generally.
WHAT A FARMER HAS TO SAT.
Jin. Editou : I have for snveral years past
been deeply interested in the problem of get'
ting our farm products into market at t
reasonable cost. Some recent articles on that
subject in your paper, induced me to turn my
"tide of iuk" in that direction and to offer to
your readers the result ot my lucubra
tions.
We hear from tho farming community, and
from tho press devoted, ostensibly, to the
farmiijg interest a never ending growl about
" freight monopoly," and being at tho mercy
of " swiud'iufr speculators," whose brains and
money ore used for oppression and robbery;
to which the producer is compelled to submit.
Now, Mr. Editor, I would ask : What com
pels the farmers of Oregon to submit to these
impositions ? Arc they in chains that tl.t-y
cannot movo ' ore they blind, that they can
not sco be) oiul the extremity of their own
noo i Why do they sell wheat to the specu
lators, if they do not got what it is worth?
:re they not free to do as they please ? to
sell or not to sell 1 liut, if they take what is
offered them, what right have they to growl J
Tho farmers of Oregon can livo without the
spoeulator; the speculator would starve with
out tho farmer. The fanners can starve him
to their own terms, if they will, but they pie
fer to fatten him upon their folly. Whose is
tho fault ?
Tho speculator would not speculate if tliero
was no money in it ; his business is to make
all ho can. He is not accredited with any
attribute of Justice or Honesty; he is called a
thief and .a robber; bo is expected to lie, is
lied about and lied to, and no one will believe
what ho says. He, natuully, docs a3 people
say of him, and lives tip to his reputation.
What mercy hav e tho farmers cause to expect
from him, when, if ho served them honestly,
he would tret hut cuiscs? Let us suppose that
w heat, or otliei farm pioducts, will sell in tlio
in irket of tho consumer, for a certain amount
moro than the actual cost of pi eduction added
to tho actual cost of traiibpoitaiion. Thai
amuunt may bo legaided as piofit, and the
question is, Who shall havo it? Tho fanner
savs, "It is mine, every cent of it." Tho ship
owner says, " Most of it belongs to me.-' Ami
the speealator quietly manages to pocitct it
all. Such is the present condition of tilings:
What aio you going to elo about it ?'
faineo writing the above, I have this even
ing received tho vvili.ami-.ttk irAinir.ii oi
Oct. 14. in which is an editorial headed "Pac-
ng the Question."
Mr Editor, I have read that article twico
over; it has tlio light sound, it says wuac l
was just ready to say when I received it:
"The farmer must ship Ins own wheat; must
export his own produce
This is their sole
banco for salvation, a chance which is cer
tain to win, if pioperly attemloo to. ISut
says one, "How cau I export my products? I
can't eharlei a ship, neither can I go to see iu
a waohtub." Quito true, tho Oitgon fiiiinir
cannot become an exporter ; but the Asso
ciated Pauneis of Oregon, or of Oiegon
Washington nnd California, can command all
tho shipping that they may require. Thoy
can send nun to England, or any w hcie el-e,
to attend to their butiiuss, as easily as tho
p.oploscud men to the St ite Capitol, or to
Washington, to attend to tho business of gov
ernment. All that is necessary 13 a willing
combination, a combination for the purpose of
putting the surplus pioduction into tlio mar
ket of tho consumer, at the loncst living
t.itcs; a combination with gut mid brain and
cipiialand cuticy cuoinrli to foruaiel such
puiposo to its consummation. A big stouu in
the load to such combi i.i.itn is that low,
mean contemptible spu it of s. ltlshness which
is toj often found. "1 lost most of my Bhcep
ht winter, but there is one eoiiio'.ation, my
neighbor lost allot his." "I might get a
better pine for my wheat by joining this as
sociatien; but mj neighbor has four times as
much benefit : guess I won't hive anything
to do with it." Such is the maimer in which
faunas talk, and they will not contribute to
help themselves for fear that in so dumg they
villi lulp some one else. As long .as this is
tho case thev deserve small sympathy As
such nu asiociitum would icquire money
pay ncceSMiy expense", some system of taxa'
tlou would liavo to be elecide'd upon ; ami it
appeals to mo that a t ix-levied upan tho ox
poited products in proporti. n to their value
when sold would bo must equitable, and
would give no trouble in collection. Hut bow
is org uuatiou to bo cflicted ? 1 do not know:
but it appeals to mo that farmers might con
vene, and nominate and elect, after the man
ner of a political ilcction, a Commissioner of
Exports from each county; then let these
Cviumissioners constitute a 1'gisl.ativc body,
and let them meet aud framo n Constitution
and pass necessary laws; let tticm electa
UirectoMiencral of Exports, say fur tho Pa
cific Coast.
Let it bo the duty of each commissioner, as
ilctiueil by the Constitution i 1. To rcpresoiKI
his district in the Commissioner's Couaw
.. lo receive and attend to the shipment of
proeluco consigned tj his care, and 3. To act
as Treasurer and disbursar of moneys result
ing from the sale of such produce. Let each
farmer who wishes to export his produce scud
at an early date, to the Commissioner from
Ins county or district a preliminary ttate
lueut of the amount and kiuds of em plus
produce he expects to have; let each Com
missioner make from these statemenls an esti
mate of tho amount of tounsge ho w ill require
for the shipment of tint produce, and let him
forward the estimate to made to th llircctor
Central, whose duty lot it be to attend to the
chartering of lup., aad ti the sale of th ir
cargoes. Filially, let raeh farmer who x
ports send, after he has hit crop secure in
warehouse, a "duplicate-final u arvhousemau's
recsipt to tho Export Commminionrr, making
produce tubject to Commissioner's order fer
shipment.
Thit brief tynopiitof my notions, 1 offer,
Uh j our permission, Mr. KJitor, for what it
is worth; letting our readtrt "tit m judt-
ineut," I am aware that many difficultuM are
to bo met, but I hope and believe that they
are nrt insuperable, and that, sooner or later,
some kind of efficient organisation will be
formed. Ciias. F. ToiniASt'i!.

A YEAR OF GOOD PRICES
The present year offers fair rewards to our
producers, and tho faimers of this country
should ho moderately prospeious, to say tho
least. The (1,000,000 pounds of wool we hal
for sale netted 2jc a pound, and made an
aggregate of 82,230,000. The wheat yield of
tho whole country will give a surplus of ten
millions of bushels that will bring in S7,.a00,
000. The fruit crop promises to pay a fair
price for what we have to sell; and potatoes
that constitute such an impoitant matter of
production with farmera in this country, and
Wig the river bottoms of the Columbia and
iVJ'franches, as well as over on the Sound,
bear a price that is entirely satisfactory. Oats
also promise to bo a good paying price to tho
grower, and hops at 20a per pound make the
hearts of hop growers rejoice and fill their
pockets with solid gold coin. The profit to the
producer makes him able to meet his engage
ments anil allow him more liberality in pur
chasing his supplies. His success reacts on
commerce and trailo everywhere, and makes
the mechanic and laborer a3 happy as tho rest
of the working world.
This year contrasts favorably with the two
just past in many lespects. Production is in
creasing; facilities of all kinds increased, and
the great enterpiises that aro being expedited
in this region make money plenty in all direc
tions, so that vie should consider ourselves
moro than usually fortunate. And now. while
there is a general enjoyment of prosperity, it
ps'vcll ciieugh for tho prudent man to lemem-
ber that judicious economy can bo always
practi?ed to advantage. Oiegon farmcis have
sometimes been too liberal to themselves, and
have had to pay dearly for it aftcrwaids. The
ptudent man uses prospenty to defend himself
from aelversity, but when prospenty 1ms a
suro foundation then hbeiality is very becom
ing. Tliero ate too many who think prosper
ity must last always nnd count on unharvest-
ed crops with ieckless extravagance.

NOTICES OV RENEWALS.
Wo have sent out notices for renewals and
hope they will receive piompt attention.
This is the season when all farmers hare
money and w c have waited until now to ask
for renewals.
We request subscribers to bear in mind
that we expect prepayment and can do busi
ness in no other way. We shall have to col
lect promptly or take names off tho list. Wo
has e not asserted tho cash principle strictly
with tho hard times of the past year, but
with the impiovcmcnt of general finances we
shall insist on the rule. It has always been
a loss to us that wo have not followed it
strictly,
HOW TO REMIT MONEY.
All subscriptions due the Willamktte
Faksifh can be sent at our expense, by money
order or registered letter, as follows:
If yon send money order, (which you had
best do if j ou havo a money order office) hand
the postmaster the sum you wish to remit and
tell him to deduct bis order feo from it.
If jou register silver, you must lie it up,
without sealing it, and it will como cheap as
third class matter, and you can write parti
culars on a postal Atud. To deduct the
register feo and postage you can uso postage
stamps to make exact change, which the
Postmaster cin help you do. As wo havo no
agents in many places, remittances can thus
bo .made to us direct and receipts bo suit
direct from this ollico to thoscndcis.
To make this plan convenient and easy for
subscribers we offer to pay the expense of
lcnuttances as abovo stated. x
Any fannei who his a good farm to tiaele
off and enteitaiii3aprcdjlietion foi hotel keep
ing, will lead with interest tho uotieo publish
ed elsewhere of a Hotel foi Sale in tins city.
Or any reader of this paper who wishes to fill
such a position may find a good opening heie
by buying out tho same. The desciiption giv
en is flattering.
JIanv new adv ertisers aro put off until next
week for local notices, so we call attention to
the fact that we have quite an addition to our
local advertising-ill the present issue.
Mayor Kalloch addressed a largo audience
on the evening of the 20th at -Mctiopolitan
