NOT A RIG'T CRITERION.
It has been asserted by Demo
cratic writers and speakers that
a progressive falling off in the
revenues of the government in
dicates a decline in' the general
prosperity of the people.
The government's principal
sources of revenue are custom
duties paid on importations of
foreign products into the United
States and import duties, known
as Internal Revenue taxes, laid
opon articles of our own produc
tion. This latter tax is laid
almost wholly upon the manufac
ture' and sale of liquor and to
bacco. During peace, under Re-
rw-hhPflTi administration, ine&
' sources supply ample revenue to
. meet the expenses of the govern
ment. The receipts of the gov
ernment are carefully estimated
and, after payment of interest
on .the public debt and the cur
rent expenses of conducting the
government, congress by appro
priation bills determines what
sums shall be expended on the
army, the navy, improvement of
rivers and harbors, etc. If the
revenue collected exceeds the ex
penditure, a surplus remains in
the treasury. This surplus has
.uV.vays marked Republican ad
' ministration, but the amount of
it is r ot a right criterion to judge
possible to create a large surplus
even when the people are not
prosperous.
The heaviest custom duties are
placed upon luxuries which, for
the most part are consumed by
the rich. The mills may shut
flown, mechanics .and laborers be
idle, and yet those having ac
cumulated wealth can continue
to purchase and consume articles
of luxury. The idle workmen
msy consume more liquor and
tobacco because of their idleness,
and congress may cut down ap
propriations and through these
means show the government
prosperous in spite of general
Repression of industry.
The true index to the condi
tion of our industrial life is found
in the clearing house transac
tions in ourjgreat trade centers,
ami in the business done by the
savins banks. These are the
linanehi pulse-beats which indi
cate tha condition of trade and
industry.
Never before have all the con
ditions of healthful prosperity
been so long continued and so
altogether desirable. Men every
where concede this.
Republicans justly claim that
the unmistakable prosperity of
the country is the result of pur
suing Republican principles, and
recall the different conditions
under the last Democratic ad
ministration to prove the claim.
No one imagines the people de
sire a change which would de
stroy their prosperity. The
business world is satisfied the
Republican party will be con
tinued in power, so we have the
most unusual conditionm a year
of presidential election of unin
terrupted business. This itself
s a fortunate condition.
NO DANGER.
In our correspondent's column
we publish a letter from Henry
Sheak, of Philomath. Readers
will see hat this is a plea for
prohibition, especially directed to
the voters of Corvallis, and, as
we believe, made in terms which
will not commend the cause of
prohibition to our people. The
slur cast upon those who "stand
for the license spstem," lost its
point if it ever had any, long
ago through constant use. The
i finding - of many parents who
"could not afford to subject their
ehildren to the temptations of
the saloons of Corvallis"
in order to avail tnem
selves of the educational advan
tages of the OAC may be dis
creditable to the parents or to
the saloons, as it depends very
much upon one's view point.
There are those though, and
good temperance men, too, who
resent the imputation that Cor
vallis, either, because of its sev
eral saloons or from any other
cause presents temptations and
pit-falls for, the young of either
sex who come here for an educa
tion or for any other legitimate
purpose.
The citizens oi Uorvallis are
moral, upright and exemplary.
No city of its population has
more well-attended churches, nor
more caref bl, conscientious pub
lic officials. In no community of
equal population is there less
drinking, less drunkenness, less
disorder. The high moral senti
ment of our people precludes
these things.
No where is there a college
having a faculty more careful of
the conducts and morals of its
students than the faculty of the
OAC. Altogether there is no
college town where the environ
ment is so free from temptation
to evil in any form as in Cor
vallis. Parents who have given
their children proper home train
ing up to the age at which young
men and young women usually
enter college need feel no sort of
fear in sending them to Corvallis,
nor for that matter to any col
lege, even though the tempta
tions to evil "and the opportuni
ties for it are ten times greater
than here.
In striking contrast with the
statement of Mr. Sheak, "The
faculty of Philomath College has
been put to more trouble from
drunkenness caused by liquor ob
tained from saloons of Corvallis
than from all other causes put
together," is the uuqualified
statement of President Gatch, of
the Oregon Agricultural College,
who says, "For the past two
years we have had no trouble
with our students because of
drunkenness." Other corrobo
ratory evidence of the truth of
our statements is not necessary.
Mystic Midgets.
With graceful dances, beauti
ful costumes and charming songs,
the "Mystic Midgets" will .be
presented at the Opera House
Friday and Saturday evenings.
The entertainment is given for
the benefit ot the Athletic Union
of the OAC The rehearsals are
progressing finely and everything
points to a unusually fine per
formance. Prof. Collins spares
no pains ' to made everything a
success.
Over a hundred children from
Corvallis homes are in the cast,
while the leading parts are filled
with popular young people of
the town and college.

voted dull and indolent by their
companions and teachers when it is
a case of eye fctrain and all that is
necessary is to consult a graduated

derstands how to measure eye strain
and fnrnish repression glasses to
remove the cause. Dr. Lowe's
skill and superior glasses will work
wonders in these cases.
