W?HY SECURITIES ADVANCED. A. statement has been issued show that securities on the New York exchange increased 100 per esrl in number during 1901, and in rsssed 300 per cent in valuation. Tf3tr this enormous increase in the runlet valuation? It is due to the TOMsers accomplished by the various inlcrests controlling the industrial ys?Jit in the principal Hues. And Bar merger of interests brings into j&sation the principle of monopoly. KiKsipoly, then, is the explanation of lius immense additions to the valua lara of stocks upon the New York CXL'Sange. ' Aa illustration of this is the effect ICTsSneed the other day upon the se etcrSies of the several express com ipaifijs when it was announced that K. !. Harriman was to be president ffll Jite Wells-Fargo Company, and first a merger, of all the express com-' pastes was to be made, with Mr. Eaniman at the head. Immediately, hs iecurities of all the express com fvsiras jumped upward, and have re anaKted at higher than usual quota tisas, on the strengtn of the expect sfl merger. Why are express com-laag- stocks worth more than they tysraSd be without the merger? Be cjsrstj of the application of the prin rl2fl3 of monopoly to the conduct of Cteir business. It must be admit ted Hint, in part, the merger will en K1 the saving of money by the eBtefnatlng of some expensive ofli crass and reducing the headquarters lor management. But, the main ele ttus&g in the increase was undoubted Hr tie fact that the express business fn?smlses soon to be a monopoly in tia United States. Jplied to numerous concerns krsaghout the counery. this acceler hSsbo. of the movement towards nio 0Ulizatfon of industrial enterprises fees caused securities to quadruple u value while the quantity of the aceks increased only twice the for mnf amount.

Do Mes ues. ;Morgan, Hill, Harriman, et til t .... desire to say to the Americnn peo ple: "We arc your hleals, for which you huvc long been looking. "We have no weaknesses, no tendencies toward selfishness." Hall Caine, in The Eternal City," says: "But 1 make allowances for the environ ment, which, in all who hold abso lute power, tends to make an unsel fish man selfish, a modest man proud, a good man bad. The only atmosphere that surrounds a pope, like the only atmosphere that sur rounds a king, is an atmosphere of servility and flattery. No man is bettor for being pope, and the saint ly man is worse." That is not ic say tha: Vw .io XIII is a bad man. for that would be absurd, in the light of his benificent reign and n life of noble benevolence and kindly deeds. Yet Hall Galne expressed a great truth, and it ap plies to popes, kings, and rulers, royal or industrial or llnanelal. Therefore, the American people are not yet ready to crown a railway king, and demand that his attempt to place the crown upon his head shall be frustrated. NO CHINESE WANTED. The demand that no Chinese shall be permitted to come into the United States is a reasonable one. It is a demand more loudly asserted in our Pacific coast states than else where, because these states are near est to the source of the yellow flood. But the protest would be as loud in other states, when the stream has passed on, over their own bordors. The masses of our people are keen ly apprehensive of evil from any pro-, posal to let Chinese in under the des-1 ignation of merchants or traders or clerks or students; for the character of such might easily be disguised, and it is felt therefore that it cannot be safe to admit any, except the few who come in accredited diplomatic character. It is not denied, however, that there are fields of labor in our coun try in which Chinese could render I service. Tnere is much work to lie I done in lines where white persons are unwilling to undertake for the wages which employers can afford to pay as in clearing land and other ruder employment. But the advan tages thus gained would be no com pensation for evils of a positive kind which would result from the advent of Chinese among us. Our working people would feel injured. With some of them the difficulties of exist ence would be increased. Discon tent would follow. Agitation against the Chinese would be resumed. There would lie dlsr.tt "mum all nUni?, the line political, social and Indus trial. The country canned affotd it. While there is some loss from lack .of labor that would be useful in cer tain directions, the balance on the whole would stand heavily against the profit and desirability of admit ting Chinese in unlimited numbers. Contentment among our own peo ple, through preventatlon of a con dition which they would deem a real grievance, Is a result to which the country cannot afford to be inditfor- ent. We do not want renewal of the agitation against the Chinese and the only way to prevent It is to keep Chinese out of the country. The O.-ogonian speaks with feel ing on this subject. Long time it was the center of a storm which it is unwilling to see renewed. It never was in favor of immigration of Chi nese, but under old treaty conditions a great many had to come, and the Oregonian, as a journal of law and order, could not do otherwise than oppose every agitation intended to maltreat or expel them. As the agitation in this direction grew in intensity, the Oregonian, in pursuance of its duty as a law-abiding journal, pointed out with all the force of expression at its command that such proceedings could not be permitted; that the Chinese, though we didn't want them, were here un- ucl h wuuiu uuvc wu liruiecuou ul uiu uuueu oiuies; iuul any extreme moasures on the part of our people against the Chinese ' would be met by the national mill tary power, and that, if the state re fused protection to these people the general government would do it, over the head of the government of the state. It was perfectly clear that this would bo the result, and the Ore gonian was unwilling to witness a collision which could havo but one consequence the appearnce of the military power of the United States for protection of tho Chinese, Now let the Oregonian sqy frankly, lot it say with words as earnest as it can framo into speech, that It does not want ,any renewal of the agita tion, but would doploro it; that tlioroforp it ,must protest against oven a partial reopening of tho door, and that it is on tho sido of those who would make the exclusion so rigorous that thoro, could bp no dan ger of the tlomlcllatlon of mny' trloro Chinese in the United States. Some advantages in Chlnfcsei , trrfdol , wo miay lose, "but ' not many? but wo would hotter lose many than to havo our working classes restive under a sense of wrong. Many times wo have come perilously near to violent outbreak through this cause. Wise men, when they forsco an evil or datipor, do not run into It. "The surest way to prevent seditions and troubles," as Lord Beacon salth, "is to take away the matter of them. If there bo fuel prepared, beware of the spark thnt will set It on fire." Again: "The rebellions of the belly are the worst." It is not in human nature, when "rebellions of the belly" have the further incentive of race antagonism and hatred, to yield to tho arguments that prevails with traders, econo mist! and chambers of commerce. Suppose the congress of the United States should refuse to renew the exclusion act then what would wc look forward to? When Chinese should begin to appear again, the up roar against them would be redoub led loud enough for Its echos to bo heard through the vast and bound less deep. Violence would reappear; The Oregonian. compelled by its duty to do all it could to preserve order, would preach peace and pa tience in vain. Not quite in vain, either, for It would call down upon its own head bursts of indignation and wrath. Popular fury would be directed against It. for in a time of general uproar there is little dis crimination of men. But our esteemed fellow-citizens, the few who are not adverse to the presence of Chinese, who think some profit might accrue to themselves or to trade, and don't like "agitators," anyway where would they be? Not at the forefront, not in the heat and strife, not in the dust and grime of this struggle; in which, in deed, they would fake but a languid intet est, if any at ali. Some of them would be travelling to Europe; other some withdrawn to the pur suits of tlilettanteism in Boston or New York, living for a time amid the luxuries, and splendors of the Savoy or. tho Holland House; still others, in southern California or Florida, amid flowery delights, and the re maining squad or two intent on the social card tables at Portland or the fascinating golf links. Withdrawn ifrom this vulgnr contention, vio lence, riot, malice, nothing could touch them; but others would be in the thick of it The Oregonian per force with them. Let us beg to .be excused; for all this may be avoided, by avoidance of the causes thati would produce it. The Oregonian has had enough of this row, if others have not. If Chinese are allowed to come here, of course they must be protected; but let us not permit them to come, in any guise or charac ter. Only total exclusion will sat isfy our people, and the masses of the people have a right to enforce their wishes in this matter as well as in any other that relates to the policy of the country.

"Unless some very material alter ations have been made in the docu ment, nothing but benefit to the Klon dike can result from the agreement which has been reached between the government and the syndicate," said Governor Ross, of Dawson, of the Treadgold concessions. mm, 'mm IS STRONGER THAN HIS STOMACH Farmers Custom Alii!
