DYSPEPTIC.
The Oregonian yesterday in its lead
ing editorial, under . the caption of
"Look Out for Squalls," was inclined
to be dyspeptic or billious, we don't
know which. While we acknowledge
." the correctness of the position of the
. great daily in its criticism of the pres
ent congress, we are somewhat sur
prised that it did not act and write
with more discretion, knowing the
terms in which it has viewed the course
of other papers which have attempted
to exercise their independence in the
- - expression of opinions on questions of
' , finatce and commerce. The constant
-.' readers of that paper know its idiosyn
. - entries, for they have read denuncia
tory articles of the English and Irish
in succeeding issues, to be followed by
. laudatory ones of the same peoples. On
' finance and commerce it has taken all
sides, and defended its position with
equal vigor as a free-trader or as a pro
tectionist, as a silver advocate or as
a mono-metallisi. It is undoubtedly
' arrowing journal, but its growth is
not ted and gnarled, l ike some tropical
, irees, not straight and symmetrical
Aike those giants which adorn the for
iests of the temperate zone. It is no
matter of surprise to old acquaintances
-T" to read in its columns a panegyric on
strict adherence to Republican doc
trine, and in the next issue a eulogism
on independence in political action.
This may be considered the versatility
of genius; but such versatility is never
an attribute of - statesmen or patriots.
Bat the Times-Mountaineer is pub
lished in a little town on the Golum
bia river, and the metropolitan paper
may know better about the ethics of
journalism; and, therefore, a a ore
competent judge of the proper course
to be pursued. But when we see it
fly off at a tangent and attempt to un
dermine the fabric it has created, we
( cannct help thinking that inconsist
. ency is not always honesty, and that
the vagaries of greatness may be as
pernicious in example as the stupid
blunders of ignorance and incompe
tence. .
ting terms to those who have been
owners of the soil for generations, the
offspring in this hemisphere will not re
main long in the background. The
provisions of the bill' have not been
telegraphed in full, but sufficient is
known to understand its most prom
inent features. It provides for the
valuation of the land Ly a commission,
and the right of the tenant to purchase
it by reasonable annual payments. Of
course, it would not have been justice
to confiscate the property of landlords
in any part of the kingdom, for they
have rights which the government
is forced to maintain; and it is a step
as far forward as any country could
take to enforce their relinquishment
at a stated price. The opposition of
Mr. Gladstone and Mr. Parnel! is not
as defensible as other positions they
have taken during this conflict over
the Irish question, and if the bill is
defeated and the ministry dissolved,
the people will expect of the Liberals
something better.
As regard state institutions Western
Oregon has the capital, penitentiary,
insane asylum, deaf and dumb asylum,
university, agricultural college and an
nual -meeting of the agricultural so
ciety. Aside from these, for the past
thirty years every senator and one
member of congress except one of
each who served their full term
has been selected from citizens
of Western Oregon. Still at
every political convention of both
parties, the nominees are chosen est
of the Cascades and th parly lash is
used to whip into line the voters east
of the mountains. As the Mountain
eer advocated twenty years ago this
portion of the northwest will never
receive justice from congress or the
state legislatures until the Cascade
range is the dividing line of two
separate states.
Hon. Binger Hermann has a heavy
I Two years ago the counties east of
Jtha Cascades gave him 1500 majority
over his Democratic competitor: but
this year they are carefully watching
his course. The mouth of the Colotu
bia has received $75,000 as a special
appropriation to continue the work at
the jetty. The locks at the Cascades
is of greater importance, because the
river is completely useless to the peo
pie until boats can pass through, and
the funds have been exhausted for
some time and the machinery and
plant have to lie idle until congress
has time and inclination to pass the
River and Harbor bill Portland will
receive $400,000 for a new public
building and Salem $100,000. The
" bill for $100,000 for a structure at
. The Dalles and the necessity is
4 greater than at either of the other
cities slumbers soundly in the house.
In the senate a bill was passed appro
priating $2,864,000 for the construc
tion of a boat railway between this
city and Celilo, and the people are
anxiously watching what Mr. Her
mann win uo ior mis bill in
TL the house. Uf course the amount is
so large that little hope was ever en
tertained that it would pass in that
shape; but it was expected that it
would be so amended by Mr. Hermann
that, by combination with the south
and west, he might secure its passage.
All these weights are attached to Mr.
Hermann's congressional race in East
ern Oregon, and he must be active and
alert if he secures a majority this
campaign.
To draft a tariff bill which will
meet the views of all portions of the
country is almost an impossibility.
Perhaps Mr. McKinley's bill is better
than any that has been introduced in
congress for a long lime; but it is far
trom peifection. If it passes the He
publican parly will have attempted to
redeem its pledges to the country, and
iu the future this knotty problem of
revision of the tariff, with a proper
adjustment of our protective policy
to our diversified industries, will re
ceive more intelligent consideration.
The f roper solution of eccnomic ques
tions can only be learned by exper
ience, and tie United States
learned many practical lessons in the
last quarter of a century.
TEE
PRINCIPLES
TION.
OF PEOTEC-
An opposition line of boats on the
Columbia river signifies to The Dalles
that it is an ocean-competitive point
that it can ship its products either by
the Northern, Union or Canadian
Pacific. Tnis would make this city a
shipping point for a large region of
country, and would impel the growth
of manufacturing industries. With
two railroads, reaching Crook and
QranC counties on the south, and
Klickitat on the north, The Dalles
will be the second city in the state.
If our business men exercise ordinary
toresicht, toe projects now inaug
urated will be carried forward to a
successful completion, and the devel
opnient ot our resources, so long re
tarded, will be pushed forward with
vigor.
The sword of Damocles has fallen,
and we shall exist and grow in the
future without the aid of the Oregon
Short Line or the Union Pacific rail
roaoV The blow was not at all severe,
nncTtne damage was more in the ap
prehension than in the realization.
. In the future The Dalles must display
pluck and energy in her own develop
nient, and not depend upon the nurs
ing system of any indulgent parent.
We are a strong, healthful, vigorous
infant, and it is time we were learn
mg to walk alone. The time has
come for death or active life, and it
will depend upon the business men of
The Dalles which it will be. With a
line of boats on the river, a railroad
to Prineville and to Goldendale, and
manufacturing industries The Dalles
will be a city of 15,000 inhabitants in
the next five years. There is sufficient
capital here to accomplish these
projects, and not a day should be
wasted before one or more is inaugur
ated. A company should be formed
immediately to put boats on the river,
The Dalles Southern R R. has al
ready been incorporated, the Golden
dale branch should be placed on paper
at once, and subscriptions taken for a
' woolen mill, soap, factory and other
rTStTustriea. Our people should be in
earnest in these matters, and then we
shall see a better and livelier city -here
in the next sixty days than e'ver before
in our history.
The Sun, in the vagaries of its fer
tile imagination, considers that Mr.
Gourlay is a resident of this city be
cause the necessities of the assessment
roll compelled him to reside in The
Dalles for a mouth or more last win
ter. Ever since he came to Wasco
county he has made Kingtley the
home of himself and family, where he
has followed farming and stock-raising
as a business. Mr. Theodore Cart
wright's family has always resided in
the country, and beciuse he has been
seen on the streets once every week or
fortnight, he also is a citizen of The
Dallea Thera is no accounting for
these freaks tf fancy indulged in by
the silent man of the Sun.
The Ocboco Review siys that "no
one, so far as we have learned, has
been recommended for the position of
receiver at "The Dalles land office, to
fill the vacancy caused by the death of
Mr. Slu8her." Our cotemporary is
mistaken. The many - recommends
tions are what is puzzling the Oregon
delegation, and it is very likely they
will soon take a vacation and leave the
secretary of the interior and the pres
ident to make the appointment. After
they return the "baby act" will
pleaded, and the telegraph will inform
their Oregon constituents that "thev
couldn t help it."
When the principles on which pro
tection is founded are clearly defined
there will not be much difficulty in
determining the character of any
measure having that object in view,
says the S. F. Bulletin, that may be
proposed. Protection must be ex
tended to every American industry
that promises to supply any national
want. The rule must be held to ex
tend to raw materials as well as to
finished products. There can be no
such thing as products which are de
serving of protection and others that
are not deserving. One American in
dustry cannot be subordinated to an
other American industry.
There is no intelligible principle on
which the American woolen manufac
turer is entitled to protection while
the grower of wool must face the com
petition of the wide reaches of Aus
tralia and the almost illimitable prai
ries of the Argentine Republic. No
valid reason .can be assigned why the
refiners of sugar should be favored
and the growers of sugar cast aside.
No argument worthy of the name can
be put together to show why tho man
ufacturer of leather should be protect
ed against the cheaper wotkers of the
Old World, while the cattlemen are
left defenseless. A tariff founded on
any such notions as . these would not
be entjtled to be considered a system.
It would develop a set of panpered
industries at the expense of the
others.
If raw wool, raw sugar and hides
should be free, then coal, iron, wheat
and barley should be free. There is
no escaping from the logic of this
statement. It follows that any meas
ure which leaves out any American
industry, for any reason or no reason,
does not reach to the full height
of the protective principle. There is
an illegitimate strain of free trade in
it, which must, in time, work its over
throw. Representative McKenna, in
his report, stated tho exact economic
tru'h when he said that in protection
all must stand or fall together.
There can be no such thing as protec
tion plus free trade. There is no
room for any composite system. None
can be constructed that can possibly
be enduring. If there is to be free
trade in any raw material produced in
this country and sul ject to foreign
competition now, there will have' to be
free trade in all of them ia the course
of time. When that point is reached
protection for manufactures will become
very difficult. Parties who are clam
orous for breaches here and there are
preparing the way for the destruction
of the whole system.
Anolher principle of protection is
that duties shall be so graded a3 to
produce a healthy competition be
tween the foreign and native article.
The object is to place the American
manufacturer on an equal footing with
his foreign rival. The advantage
which the latter enjoys of cheaper
labor is in this way neutralized. The
general result so far has been the
cheapening of the article to the con
sumer in the United States. There is
no allegation that any duties pre
scribed in the new tariff bill are pro
hibitory in their nature. In some
cases they are rather below than above
the mark. There are cases in which a
larger measure of protection might be
extended.
But for the breaks observable in one
or two instances, the hill, drafted by
the committee of ways and means
might be regarded as very complete,
and the best that could be framed un
der the circumstances. The point for
Republicans to consider is that pro
tection is to be viewed as compre
hensive whole, and not specially in
detail. No scheme of protection which
does injustice in any quarter is going
to be long-lived. Any breach that
may be made will be sure to widen.
and this will be the greatest factor of
growth the northwest can possibly de
sire. When it is considered that the
Mississippi river acts as a regulator of
freight rates to the flourishing states
which is tributary, to it and the Erie
canal has acted as an arbitrator be
tween the people and the railroad cor
poration, we can see a practical illus
tration of what the Columbia can
do for the Inland Empire. Open it to
free navigation, and as rich a country
as there is on the continent will bur
den its bosom with loaded ships en
gaged in the carrying trade.
With all these possibilities and
probabilities the outlook for the future
will be bright, and our business men
should feel encouraged. The signs of
the times are very hopeful, and The
Dalles must keep pace with the growth
of tho country, as there is no better
commercial or manufacturing center
east of the Cascades.
May 1st was not a revolution day,
although the demonstrations in favor
of the eight-hour law were quite sig
nificant in Europe and America. In
some parts of Europe, troops charged
upon riotous laborers, and men were
seriously injured but in other
countries, aside from a public parade,
there were no efforts at changing the
existing order of seciety. The world
is advancing, and the advancement is
as much marked in the increased in
telligence of wage-earners, as in any
other class. Combined capital needs
some check in its avaricious career,
and in these united efforts of labor
in its own amelioration is xounu
a regulator of corporate greed
Since the extension of the elec
tric franchise to nearly all classes
of laborers, they are a powerful factor
in politics, and ai corporations only
exist as creatures of statu tary enact
ments, it becomes very important who
make the laws. The ballot-box will
be the final arbitrator of the grievances
between capital and its dependencies.
and if the toilers of the land exercise
a wise discrimination in the exercise
of their great privilige, they have mat
ters almost their own way. But they
must not be governed by wild itu
pulses, and attempt to effect changes
in a day in institutions which have
been established for centuries. Ex
perience teaches that reforms to be
permanent must be gradual, and must
be dictated by careful and discrimina
ting ludgment and not by wild im
pulse. If labor will exercise its great
power at the ballot-box in a judicious
manner, the remedies to existing sys
tems will be made without any ap
parent disturbance: but if it acts
hastily, anarchy and confusion will be
the result

efactors of the community. As re
gards railroad facilities Mr. Hunting
ton would let the grass grow in the
streets of every Willamette city, if by
so doing he would further the interests
of the company.
Last Saturday was the seventy first
anniversary of the institution of Odd
Fellowship in the United States.
This noble order now numbers half a
million members, and pays out an
nually a large sum for the relief of
widows and orphans. Its charitable
deeds are known ail over the world,
and as long as gratitude remains the
order of Odd Fellows will have a
warm spot in the hearts of all good
citizens.
President Hrrrison has only had
occasion to send to congress one veto
message, and he must make haste in
the next three years to equal his
predecessor, Mr. Cleveland. This pre
rogative of the executive should be
exercised with the greatest caution,
aud we are satisfied Mr. Harrison will
use the power with both wisdom and
discretion.
Gen. Alger, the commander of the
G. A. R., is visiting the northwest,
and is receiving ovatious wherever he
goes. The general was a gallant sol
dier during the war, and now those
who have profited by his bravery, are
willing to accord him the honor to
which he is entitled.
It is a sure sign of advancement
that the threatened strike to morrow
has shaken every throne in Europe,
from the despotic Czar to the mere
queen in name, Victoria of England.
A few years ago this would have been
impossible, as labor was entirely under
the domination of capital, and had no
organization. But affairs have won
derfully changed, and now is wit
nessed the novel fact, that a lahor or
ganization in Europe can awaken an
echo in an hour in every country of
the world. Such ia the power of com
bination, and such the progress of the
country.

The Farmers' Alliance is generally
considered tho moving factor in politics
in the future. Composed of producers,
they fully understand the transporta
tion problem by practical experience;
and as their livelihood depends upon
the cheapness of transporting their
products to markets, they are not sus
ceptible of any money-bribe which may
be employed by corporations.

California has recently suffered a

The present year will witness the
construction of several railroad lines
in the northwest. Eastern capital has
been looking in this direction for a
long time, and we feel assured that
this season " there will be some large
investments. There is a better field
for capital in a new country, which
lacks development, than in an old one
whose resources have been thoroughly
developed. The timber and coal lands
on Puget Sound, the rich wheat and
fruit soil of Oregon have attracted at
tention of capitalists, and we may ex
pect this year to see the means of
transportation to market largely in
creased. The possibilities of Eastern
Oregon and Eastern Washington have
never been tested, and there was little
probability they ever would be while
farmers were forced to haul wheat
twenty-five miles to the railroad, and
then pay the company an exorbitant
rate to carry it to seaboard. It is
no exaggeration to say if transports
tion to Portland or Astoria were rea
sonable, four times the quantity of
grain would be produced than is now.
It is not remunerative for farmers to
pay twelve cents a bushel for transpor
tation eighty-eight miles, even if he
can raise thirty or forty bushels to the
acre. But there will undoubtedly be
a change in freight rates as soon as the
projected lines are completed in the
Inland Empire. The Hunt system
will reach Union this fall, and then
producers will have their choice be

by the Oregon Pacific to reach Crook

furnish a new outlet to that region.
These lines will furnish a healthful
competition, which will result in
cheaper rates, and will be an incen
tive to new productive industries.
Aside from these prospective railroads
we have reason to believe that in the
next three or four years the Columbia
river will . be opened to navigation,
either by the completion of the locks
at the Cassades or by opposition boats,
The committee on rivers and bar

A FATAL RAILROAD WRECK.
San Francisco, April 30. The Chron
tele's Santa Cruz special says : A railroad
accident occurred at Cabtroville station
this morning, which resulted in the death
of one man, serious injuries to two others
and a smash up of several cars. The
southbound freight train, engine 26, ot
tbe Coast division, as it approached the
station at a fair rate of speed, being a
little late, the engine struck a switch out
of order. The switch becamo instantly
misplaced, and tbe train dashed into the
cars on a sidetrack. The collision was a
terrible one. The cab was knocked off
the engine, but Engineer Mu'rourke stood
bravely at his post until the train stopped.
Fireman Henry Orruinus jumped from tbe
engine and was struck on tile heud, and
his neck was broken by tbe colliding cars.
Then tbo whole car fell on his body,
crushing it dreadfully. J. II. Ross and
W. W. Craig, two brakemen. were badly
injured. Craig was hurled through the
air from the top of a box car about
tweoty-five feet, and struck the sidewalk
in tbe front door of the dining-room at the
station. He was hurt much worse than
Ross. The latter was taken to Monterey
and Craig to San Francisco for care and
treatment. Conductor Thomas Frether
nay and the engineer were not injured.
Nine flat and freight cars were smashed.
It was found necessary to cut tbe car into
under which Ormnius was buried to get
the body out. Ormuius was 25 years old,
and leaves a mother and sister in San
Francisco.

turing quite a number of them now, but
better service is needed. That is one ot
immediate steps required. If we could

our work. If tbey could be induced to

A WARNING TO M KINLEY.
Washington, April 30. Ralph Beau-
mom, chairman of the national legislative
commit tie of the Knights ot Labor, has
written Major McKinley a letter criticis
ing the pending silver bill. Beaumont
says in part :
Ou what grounds ot equity and iustice
does jour party decide to confer legal
tender powers to the certificates for which
national banks detire to use them, and ic
fuse to the farmeis and business men of
tbe country the same privilege!
Jieaumont then recalls the discrim
ination between trade dollar and ttanddrd
dollar and asks:
What is to hindtr under this bill, the
same bankers from discriminating against
this note, as it ia the only legal tender for
certain purposes. This bill creates money
for the bankers and notes to the farmers.
It is nut aotes that laimers are in need of.
They are already buidened down with
notes. Tbe money tbey want is tbat with
which they may liuuiuale their indebted
ness to their bondsmen. I insist, sir, that
if you, as leader of tl e house, let this
measure pass, creatirgr these certificates
without conferring upon them toll leeal
tender power to uuai le these overburden
ed farmers to meet th ir obligations, you
are guilty of commit iag a wrong, and
mark it, it is cne bo h you and your
party will bave to atone for in the comine
