HE' I 1US GAZETTE . Tur- s and Fridays, INDU? L CONDITIONS. The i in rial conditions of the Unite ites at the present time are jsults of the energy and courr f her people, and thorough!. lemonstrates what grand ret i can be accomplish ed in " a publican form of j governmc administered under: the splenc and beneficent prin ciples of i. Republican party. Compare t; ; conditions of this country t ay with its affairs when the I: publican party came into power. During the last forty years her people have learned to produce and manufacture every thing necessary for man, have regained the home market from the hands of Europe, and sent their products to all parts of the nation instead of borrowers from foreign countries, have paid back j i i T J 1 J tne two Dili ion one nuiiuieu anu forty million balance of trade against them, in 1876, the net balance of trade in favor of the United States now being over three billion, five hundred and eighty-four million, and increas ing at the rate of four hundred millions per annum, resulting in an increase of the wealth of the country five fold, and so that labor commands much larger wages and a greater share of the profits of industry than prevails in any other part of the world. During the progress of this great evolution, in the industrial and commercial affairs of our common country and necessarily as a means leading to these grand re sults, individual effort has given away to combined effort, the burden of such enormously large undertakings "was too great for and held void a combination between the Northern Securities Company, the Great Northern Railway Company and the North ern Pacific Railway Company, a combination to control the operations of several railroad companies under one manager ment. There will be no trouble in restraining and properly regu lating the great corporations and gigantic trusts as long as the Republican party guides the affairs of the nation. In the last named case involving the rail road trust, the several democratic judges of the Supreme Court sustained the- trust while the Republican members of the court being in majority made up the decision which held the trust void, thereby protecting the people's interest. It is along Republican lines that we must look for relief upon all great questions in favor of the people. CORRESPONDENTS, CORNER. Oak Grove Chips. Interred Tuesday. Farmers' Short Course.

He resided in Salem from 1864-7 fr the purpose of sending his child ren to the Willamette University, and of working at his trade. He erected several of the "early im portant residences and assisted in the building ol the present uni versity building, while his chil dren attended the old Oregon In stitute. He was superintendent of the First Methodist Sundav School, under the pastorate of Dr. J. O. Bythe, when the old wooden building stood where the brick structure now stands. He was born in Big Lick county, Ohio, October 5, 1832,. and died in San Jose, Calir., December 29, 1904. He lived a long, honor able and useful life, and was held in high esteem by all who knew him.

Welfare, Prof. Cordley stead great corporations, trade unions and all kinds of combina tions of capital and labor were formed, resulting in a net work of railroads running all over the country and plentifully supplied with the largest factories in the world, all owned by so many corporations. At first these various corporations vied with each other in healthy competition to excel in gaming the most ; , trade. Later came a disposition among them to form combinations so as to limit their product, com bine to control prices and pre vent competition in restraint of trade. In 1890 a1 Republican Congress passed the Anti-Trust Law, "to protect trade and com merce against unlawful restraints and monopolies." Soon after wards, however, the country placed President Cleveland in . charge of the nation's affairs, and his At orney-General, Mr. Olney, gave it his opinion that the Anti-Trust Law was uncon- stitutional and' therefore could not be enforced. Later, how ever, Republican presidents were elected and several suits were brought in the United States Courts which sustained the Anti Trust Law. In 1898 the Supreme Court held illegal and void the Joint Traffic Agreement entered into by 31 railroads fixing rates and fares between Chicago and the Atlantic Coast. In 1899 the United States Supreme Court also held void an agreement made by six corporations on the price and sale of cast iron pipes and agreeing not to bid against each other in 36 states and territories. The court also held void in 1899 a' combination of 14 coal com panies wherein they agreed not to sell coal for less than the specified price. In 1902 the court held void the "Beef Trust" composed of the principal buyers of live stock and shippers of dressed meats wherein they agreed not to bid against each other and in 1902 the court dis solved the .
