SYTCJRDAY "..JANUARY. 23 1890
CONFEDERATED LABOR.
For tie hut few jearH there has
been an effort made by tbe laborers of
this and other countries to combine
in defense of their rights, and against
' the attacks of consolidated capital
In the United States there has been
nothing of a communistic or socialistic
tendency - in these combinations, and
the constitutions and by-laws of these
organizations have expressly stated
their aim to be not to change the
social fabric or form of government,
bat simply, within the law, to attempt
a desired reformation which would
make politics purer and the rights
of working men more generally re
spected. This object will commend
itself to every patriotic citizen, for all
must acknowledge that politics has lie
come most debasing in its aims and the
means for the accomplishment of its
ends. The wageworkers of this coun
try are generally men of intelligence,
and cannot be considered in any differ
ent grade ot society trom loose more
highly favored with wealth. From
many of the common walks of life this
free country has secured rulers and
statesmen, and the laborer or mechanic
, of to-day may be the legislator or
trusted official of to-morrow.
These labor movements have created
no alarm among citizens, for all con
fidence is felt in their integrity and
patriotism. They have great interest
in the perpetuity of free institutions,
and the people sympathize with any
and aty efforts at reformation. The
ballot-box is the final arbitrator of all
wrongs, and if there is a combined
effort in this direction this land of lib
- erty may yet be purged of its sub
. servience to . corporate power. There
is only one apparent danger, and that
is, designing politicans may gain ec
trance to these organizations, and by
presenting a fair exterior, use them
for their own selfish purposes. But
this may not cause very creat con
sternation, for there is sufficient dis
cernment to discriminate between
honesty and pietense; between in
tegrity and hypocrisy; between the
. wolve3 who may enter the sheep fold
for mercenary purposes, and those who
have suffered wrongs and desire them
redressed. We have always enter-
, tained the kindest feelings toward
these labor combinations, and believe
there is much more true patriotism
and honesty in them than in the cooi-
' bination of capital. The accumu-
lation of riches has the natural effect
to make one' eordid and selfish, and
every impulse of tbe being is in the
direction of increasing the wealth at
whatever expense; while, on the con
trary, the laborer's object is for the
amelioration of his fellows to raise
them to a higher plane of manhood,
that they may understand their duties
to themselves and families and to the
human race. For this reason we wish
our-lata r organization God's speed
and would do anything possible to aid
them in their -work of benevolence,
patriotism and mercy.
- Aside from the. mere organization
of labor, of late the different lodges
have combined to accomplish their
designs, and we understand next week
a convention will be held in this city
of representatives from the different
granges, Knights of Labor assemblies
and other compacts for the purpose
ot organization tor tne coming cam
paign in this county. Their delibera
tions will no doubt be dictated by com
aon sense, and we earnestly hope
they may be successful in forming a
coalition, as their interests are com'
in on and for the general weal of the
community. Every producer is in
terested in an open river to the sea,
and we earnestly look for the time
- when intelligent labor will gain tbe
mastery over, selfish capital. If the
same movement would take place in
very county in Eastern Oregon, we
might have substantial hopes that the
next legislature would do something
in rearcUto building a portage road
at the Cascades, and above this city.
As a matter of course, we look to the
general government first for aid; but,
in the interval, we shall not object to
help from our own state. For pure
politics, relief from corporate greed,
and for the development of resources
of Eastern Oregon we believe in the
confederation of laborers or eery one
interested in an open river and the
forfeiture of unearned land "rants. -
tionists in the Democratic party. Mr.
Randall, of Pennsylvania, whose Dem
ocracy cannot be questioned, is strong
ly in favor of protection, and as strong
free-traders can be found in the ranks
of the Republican party. The Mills
bill was the natural outgrawth of tbe
tendency to free-trade in the south,
and for that reason placed on tbe free
list woo! the staple product of the
west and northwest and lessened the
tariff on sugar, only produced in any
considerable quantity in Mississippi
and Louisiana. Before the war tbe
south was almost entirely devoted to
the culture of cotton, and was inter
ested more in free ports for raw ma
terial than in any kind of protection
for home industries. This induced the
confederate congress to place tbe pro
hibitory clause on tariff in its consti
tution. Bat when the Mills bill is at
tacked democrats say Texas is a wool
growing state. This is true, in a
measure; but it is also true that there
are other interests in that state, and of
more vital importance. Protection is
simply what it means, and when
tariff ceases to be this, it should be
abolished. If juce cannot be raised in
the United btatee, it is useless to keep
the tariff on the imported article. But
wa believe it can and will be raised in
sufficient quantities to supply the de
mand. The aim of the tariff is to
make the country self-supporting, and
to keep as much money in circulation
as DossiUe. We believe in the doc
trine in national, state and municipal
affairs, and consider it the only safe
one that can lie followed in this or any
other free country lacking develop
ment. -
There is sufficient time yet to form
slates for the campaign next summer,
and as far us state omcials are con
cerned we do not know of any list
being in course of completion. Poll
tics are nearly as uncertain as an
American jury, and very few things
are as difficult ot - prognostication as
the - successful candidates during a
contested election. - In former years,
when the counties east of the Cascades
came to the valley they changed the
result in favor of the Democracy,
But in this matter, a very decided
change has taken place, and, with the
exception of Umatilla, every county
in Eastern Oregon will give a Re
tmblican uiaiority. As Uregon is
largely Republican some consideration
must be given ' to those counties east
of the Cascades which gave majorities
for that ticket, and as Wasco was the
banner county two years ago it is ex
pected she can secure any candidate
she desires. Of course, Umatilla
county, being strongly Democratic,
must not expect auy favors from a
Republican convention. If such a
policy . were pursued, it would only
insure the defeat of the party, and the
act would be suicidal. We have
heard of no persons ia this city with
any political bees in their bonnet,
but if any such should "bob up se
renely" in the next three or four
months we see no reason why they
should not accomplish their desires.
If the party pays attention to the lo
calities where it has hitherto received
majorities, those solidly Republican
counties in Eastern Oregon will re
ceive recognition, while those which
have always been Democratic will
not.
ARE WE AWAKE
Albany papers have not yet grown
tired ot uforming us that we will be
able to ship our wool to that city next
summer by lail. We earnestly hope
that we shall do that very identical
thing. No kick coming on that score.
But you've ODly five months to get
ready for us. Our great wool clip
will be ready for KUipment y the
middle of next June. I'rineville

You can calculate on sending your
wool to The Dalles by wagons for the
next two or three years, and in that
time we hope to help you out by
means of a railroad from this city to
the interior of Grant county. Times-

The above excerpts from the inter'
ior press show that the people desire
quick .transportation to seaboard, and
if our citizens do not afford them the
facilities they will look elsewhere.
We should not depend on the govern
ment any longer to open the river;
but, as soon as spring opens, begin the
formation of a partnership for placing
opposition boats on the Columbia.
As soon as the project is begun, As
toria, and perhaps, Portland, will
come forward and help us, for tbey
are directly interested in a cheap
route to seaboard. The problem of
hard times and the development of
our resources can be easily solved by
taking hold of this matter in a business-like
manner. An opposition boat
and utilizing the portage at the Cas
cades will not cost to exceed $20,000,
and a narrow gauge railroad to the
interior of Crook and Grant counties
perhaps $100,000. Our capitalists
can give ' sufficient security for $6,
000,000, and if we feet at all in
terested in the matter we can raise
a fund of $200,000 for such important
enterprises as these.' If a movement
is made in these matters we can as
sure our business men that in less
than two years The Dalles will be the
second city in Oregon. If not all the
advertising we can do will benefit us
but little. Realizing the importance
of doing - something to help ourselves,
favored by situation as we are for a
great interior commercial and manu
facturing center, action for our best
interests should not be delayed. If
we desire to grow and prosper, some
thing must be done to reap the har
vest from, our advantages; if not, let
us wall in our city and say to tbe
world we are satisfied with our present
attainments.
The northwest is now sufiering from
a snow blockade, and it is a curiosity

As the rtsult of the Berlin confer
ence in reference to Samoan affairs, a
treaty between the powers interested
has been agreed upon, which is very
complimentary to the United States.
' The three powers recogoize the inde
pendence of Sinioa, and neither of
them can exercise any separate
control of the island or the govern
meut thereof. It is further declared
that Malietoi, who was formally made
and appointed king in 1881, shall be
so recognized hereafter. The consent
of Samoa is necessary for the provi
sions of the treaty to go into effect.
A full civil government is given the
island, and the autonomy of the coun
try preserved. This is one of
the most successful diplomatic ma
neuvres this country has ever made,
and will instill respect for the country
among our citizens and with the world
at large. The United States has been
a country long enough, and is of suffi
cient s rengtb, to take her position ns
one of the leading nations of the
world. If she exercises traditional
Anglo Saxon grit she will no longer
listen to dictation in international
qutions, but will assume the position

This portion of the northwest is no
longer dependent upon the sale of
stock as a means of support. Our
agricultural resources have been de

the partial failure of the wheat crops

of Eistern Oregon good crops, and
they do not care about an occasional
snow storm during the winter.
The Mormons are likely to keep
Idaho from being admitted into the

possible. With an open river to the

reason we shall work faithfully and
