AT LAST.
It is never too late to make a move
ment in the right direction, and while
we are sorry that The Dalles did not
inaugurate the river transportation
project years ago, as advocated by the
TiMES-MorxTAiXEEB, we are glad that
an effort is now being made with every
indication of being successful of util
izing the river as a means of trans
. portotion to seaboard. Nature has
given The Dalles every advantage as
a shipping? point and a great trade
center, and the obstacles which have
debarred it from fulfilling its destiny
in the past have been the selfish policy
of Portland, the antagonism of the
railroad company, and the lack of en
terprise of our business men and
bitter tactional u;nta among
ourselves. During the last two
years it is ' a subject of gratification
that the metropolis is no longer op
posed to the interior, and apparently
is in favor of improving the naviga
tion of the Columbia from its mouth
to its highest navigable waters. The
Union Pacific has inflicted the great
est injury it could on the city by re
moving the shops, and no consideration
should be paid to its interests in any
projected improvements in the future.
By the failure of crops last seaaon, the
hard winter just passed and the re
moval of the mechanics iu the machine
shops, this city is thrown upon its own
resources and must exercise enterprise
or die. The Dalles, like "Pip," has
been heretofore "brought up by
band," and lived on great expecta
tions. That era has passed, and
our citizens realize the fact. If
they had awakened to this realiza
tion years ago The Dalles would have
double the population it now possesses,
and the wealth of the city would have
been greatly increased. This lack of
enterprise has become so widely
known, that every advantage has been
taken of it, and we have been kicked
and cuffed on every side; and, even
now,when the transportation company
is an assured fact, the general ex
- presBion is, The Dalles will do noth
ing it has no business grit, and is
simply a fossil remain of some bygone
period. But we have stronger hopes
now than we had for ten years past
that the present movement "means
business." The time has come when
the Inland Empire is in a revolt
against the railroad company; when
patience has ceased to be a virtue, and
when other railroad lines are de
siring the trade of the northwest
That time has passed when the rail
road monopoly can charge any rates
they desire to inland towns, and feel
assured that they will pass under the
yoke meekly. The Hunt system and
. different railroads ar6 eager to procure
our trade, and are willing to pursue a
policy of fairness towards producer?.
Wasco county or other portion of East
ern Oregon have not received fair treat
ment from the 0. R. & N. Co. or the
Union Pacific; but, instead of a lib
eral policy, the most ruthless oppres
sion has been pursued, as despotic in a
commercial sense as ever the rule of
the czar is in a political one. They
have built up Portland and impover
ished other portions of the state, and
if complaints nave been made the
answer has been received, "What are
you going to do about it, and how are
' you going to help yourselves?". This
conduct has exasperated and rendered
desperate the communities dependent
upon it for transportation. Umatilla
county has liberated itself, Union will
in a few months, and before the snow
flies The Dalles will have . boats on
iuiaciie uoiumbia ana the carrying
trade of this city, which surpasses any
point on the Union : Pacific east of
Portland, will be largely done by the
Northern and Canadian Pacific. Our
-people are desperate, and are not
running a bluff in this matter. Suffi
cient stock has already been sub
scribed to build the boats, and there
will be no delay. Those who stand
aloof and are fearful to act will be re
membered, and if any sell out to the
company there will lea future for them.
For the first time in the history of
The Dalles the people are determined
to liberate themselves from railroad
domination, and there is no doubt they
will be successful in the effort. In
another year, from this point to the
ocean there will be an open river, and
producers of (he great Inland Empire,
when they reach this city, will be af
forded the cheapest means of trans
portation to tidewater.
for our goods, we should not kill this
great industry. . There is considerable
sagacity in Mr. Blaine, and he may be
able to overcome this difficulty, and so
frame the provisions of the treaties
that no unfair competition will be
allowed.. It cannot he expected
that reciprocity will su't all
c'aKsns of citizens, and the better plan
it to frame such measures as will
receive the least objections from, and
confer the greatest benefit on the peo
ple. Of course, it may be expected
that the effort at reciprocity will clash
with the McKinley tariff bill, and as
the country needs protection for ber
industries and also extension of ber
tradr-, some compromise must be ef
fected.
There is very little hope for the
River and Harbor bill this session,
according to the dispatches to-day.
It will very likely sleep the sipp that
knows no waking until congress con
venes Again next December. All
fie bombast that was tele
graphed over the wires before the
late election apparently amounts to
nothing for the benefit 'of the pro
ducer; although it, may have increased
the vote for the Republican congress
man last June, There vill be a sen
atorial election at the next nocetirg of
the legislature, and p.s this bill has
been put to s'epp iu the senate it may
he well to make a change in our rep
resentation in the upper house.
Wet-t-rn Oregon ha controlled con
gressional matters Ions; enough for
Eastern Oregon to demand some rec
ognition. W e are satisfied if tne
River and Harbor bill was an all-
important subject to Multnomah coun
ty the senator who expects re-election
would spare no efforts to insure its
naBsase; but he expec's tew votes
from Eastern Oregon, and can afford
to ignore that portion of the state.
It is now the opportune time for the
boards of trade in the cities interested
in the free navigation of the Columbia
to hold meetings and press upon the
senate the urgent need of the passage
of the bill, as an open river is the
only means of relief the producers of
the northwest have against the op
pression of corporations. A demand
now for action may nave good enect
but if there is. any further delay at
petitions will be useless.
HEROIC TREATMENT.
The northwest is. in open revolt
against the Union Pacific railroad
company, and is seeking relief by every
possible means from tho extortionate
rates imposed upon them. Walla
Walla and Pasco have organized' a
steamboat com Dan v. and will soon
have craft on the Columbia river be
tween the later place and Celilo. The
Dalles should do something to make
this movement a factor of develop'
ment, and some connection wun oemo , . , . f
a m
immediately inaugurated
of affairs should not exist in a free I ent project of placing boats on the
country, where government, in all its I river, the year 1S90 will be one of
departments, is supposed to bs sub- substantial growth and prosperity for
servient to the wishes of the people.
The bill now under consideration, and
which is severely criticised by the
Democratic press of the country, sim
ply aims to protect the purity of the
ballot at general elections of govern
ment officials. This will cause no
hardship to any patriotic citizen, and
no one has a right to complain except
he is of that class who attempts to con-
.fever since I'eter the Ureat reor
ganized the great Russian empire its
primary object has been acquisition of
territory. A monarchy of the most
arbitrary and despotic elements there
is no line of action which it will fail
to adopt to carry out this principle.
For over a century the Czar has cast
covetous eyes upon the Mediterranean
sea as a commercial output, and if it
had not been for the sagacity and
promptness of Lord Beaconsfield he
would long since had a footing in
Constantinople. Beaten back by the
British fleet, when the prize was al
most within his grasp, he has never
given up the ulterior object of possess
ing a line of seacoast on the south of
Europe. Now there are complaints of
Turkish rule in Armenia, and Russia
is pouring war materials to the front
as rapidly as possible. If not stopped
by Turkish or English soldiers the
Czar will have procured such a foot
hold in Armenia that it will be nearly
impossible to dislodge him. - British
and German - diplomacy may bridge
over this chasm for a time; but the
day is not far distant when it will
take something more than threats to
stop the invading Russians. Con
stantinople or India have been the
goal fcr many years, and hardly a
month passes that encroachments are
not made, and the Czar is nearer the
object of his desires.
Mr. Blaine is trying !o inaugurate
reciprocity treaties with the South
American republics, and by this means
extend the trade of the United States.
For many years English capital has
been invested in these countries, and
her merchants have controlled the
trade. While this country cannot
manufacture goods as cheaply as Great'
Britain, because of the high price of
wftes in the United States, vet. with
- ' a
Yankee ingenuity, some plan could be
devised by which we could share trade
with the merchants of England. And,
perhaps, tho effort now being made by
Mr. Blaine may "be successful. But it
cannot to expected that Brazil, Chili
and Peru will willingly open their
ports !o our fabrics, while what they
hive to sell is taxed in our markets.
If their ports are free to ha, ours
should be the same to them, and there
would b no consequent evils. In
opening our markets to South America
we are not challenging competition
with countries which have reduced the
cost of articles to the minimum, as we
would be in the case of England. An
objection may be made to' reciprocity
. by wool-growers, who know that the
plains of the Argentine republic can
send the product to the Boston mar
ket much cheaper than the sheepmen
of the west, and this should be care
fully watched. In opening a market ,
The Union Pacific, when it charges
as high freight rates as the producers
can bear, is simply following the same
rule of business as the merchant is
when he sells his goods at the highest
figure. Again, it is according to the
best rules of trade for each communi
ty to help itself, and procure the low
est rates of transportation possible.
The Dalles, in placing boats on the
river to do the carrying trade, is fol
lowing a business principle as clearly
defined and as old as the hills. When
the company awakens to the fact that
we are in earnest about this matter,
and see that the Canadian and North
ern Pacific are dividing trade with it at
the very gateway of the Liland Empire, j
it may realize that the same law of
trade which says sell at the highest
price also says pay the least possible
amount for any article. It is business
for the Union Pacific to charge the
highest freight rates the people will
stand, and it is also business for the
people to place boats on the river, and
welcome to the tradtrof Eastern Ore

should be
By such an exhibition of enterprise
this city has the opportunity to make
itself the Chicago of the northwest;
but have our business men the "grit
or "pluck" to tike advantage of our
situation? If we have not, we deserve
the treatment we have received for a
number of years past. There is no
truer aphorism in the wealth of Eng
lish literature thau the terse, and trite
one of "God helping those who help
themselvee." This requires no par
t.irnW nenius which nermeates the
D
intellect as suddenly as a thunderbolt
at noontide but is
of analytic reasoning.
The Dalles liav th irassi'iiiuies of
making their city second only to Port
land: but thev l:uk the pluck and
7
perseverance to accomplish' the pur
poses within their grasp. Our busi
ness men are commercial coward", who
will not riih anything without having
the "cent per cent." in the hollow of
their hands. n want our citizens to
take this sentence home with them,
and cogitate upon it. It is the custom
of physicians where the disease is vio
lent and chronic to administer heroic
treatment. This apathy towards pub
lic enterprise has become deep seated
in the body politic, and to restore it
to a normal condition will require. pre
scriptions that will scorch and burn
the tender cuticle. Our duty as a
journalist is to present facts in
their true light, and warn the
people of the danger of not
heeding them. We have done so, and
if The Dalles in the next five years
dwindles to a village of 500 popula
tion, our duty has been performed;
but if it increases to 10,000 or 15,000
we shall feel thankful that we made a
proper diagnosis and administered the
proper remedy.
the city and surrounding country.
If this congress mauages to pass the
forfeiture measure, a liberal River and
Harbor bill snd a good appropriation
for the beat railway, Republicans in
this portion of the state will be satis
fied with the present session. We are
fearful our Solons at Washington City
may fall short in one or more of these
necessary measures, and fail to win the
full approbation of the people.
POLITICAL INDEPENDENCE

Democracy are pertinent questions to
every c&3 who votes conscientiously

telligence and independence by sup

maintain its prestige as the center of

the railroad does everything to kill
the city it can yet live and prosper.
13; placing boats on the Columbia
river it will welcome into the field of
competition the Canadian Pacific, a
conpany with sufficient capital to hold
its ob in any contest, and which does
r.ob now receive a pound of freight
from the Inland Empire except over
the line of the Union Pacific. This
would produce a revolution in business
matters, and our producers would re
ceive the most favorable freight
rates.
The Spanish blood in Central Amer
ica is again at boiling heat, and the
dispatches to-day report war in San
Salvador. There has been peace for
a long time in thes; countries, and
even in Mexico there has not been the
usual revolution for many years. But
the world couldn't "jog along" in this
quiet war in tbat portion of the west
ern hemisphere, and blood-letting
seems to be necessary with Latin raaes
occasionally, to show that the people
re in a normal condition. 1
The diplomatic correspondence be
tween Secretary Blaine and Premier
Salisbury is not published, and there
fore it ia difficult to form an opinion
upon the merits of the controversy.
Of course, it is patriotic to uphold our
country whether right or swrong,
and view with prejudicial favor
any position assumed by our offi
cials. But, truth is truth wherever
found, whether on the side of our most
inveterate enemy or in the position
taken by our most steadfast friends.
The question of Behring sea, whether
it is an open or closed sea, is one for
tbe family of nations to decide, and
not to be settled by any resort to arms
by two nations, otherwise friendly,
Until the fuU correspondence ia pub
lished, it would not lie fair to form a
conclusion.
A meeting of the board of trade
should be called immediately to help
on the schemes now under considera
tion for the prosperity of The Dalles.
We tuu3t face facts as they exist, and
not mince matters in the least. For
the future growth of the city it is nec
essary that boats should be put on the
river,, railroads constructed to the in
terior, and manufacturing industries
inaugurated. It is simply a question
of life or death, and we must decide
soon which it shall be.
The election bill, now before con
gress, is an attempt to get an honest
vote where members of congress are
to- be elected. . r or many years the
elective franchise in the south has
been controlled by Democrats, and
Republicans have been intimidated
and completely debarred from ex
ercising the privilege. Tbis condition
If the River and Harbor bill is not
passed this session the northwest will
receive a set back that will take years
to recover. Public improvements
have been at a stand still for th past
year, and another season of inaction
will work a great injury. The devel
opment of tbis portion of the north
west depends upon an open river, and
every year this is postponed rivets
the chains of a monopoly mere firmly
around the producers.
We have heard little or nothing of
the Union Labor party since they
elected Governor Pennoyer in June,
Perhaps in 1892 they may be suffi
ciently organized to enter the presi
dential campaign, and lend aid to the
Democracy by drawing votes from Re
publican ranks. This would be good
Democratic tactics, and we have not
seen a third party movement for
years that e did not think had a
Democratic god-father or god-mother.
Chicago will be excelsior. London
has undertaken the task of building a
tower to overshadow the Eiffel one at
Paris, And now Chicago is . about to
spend $2,000,000 to build an immense
pyramid of steel and iron that will
reach several hundred feet higher than
the London construction. There is
too much fog inhaled by the native
Cockney for him to possess anything
like th6 cleverness of the active and
energetic Chicagoan.
This will be a favorable year for
Wasco county as far as natural pro
ductions are concerned. Tbe wool
clip brought a good price and the grain
crop promises to be very, bountiful,
with every indication of good prices.
If The Dalles will carry out the pres-
treasurer, under such iegulatlons a3 tbe
secretary of the treasury may pre
scribe from an appropriation bereoy
