GREAT CEREAL EXPECTATIONS,
- Tha MinneaDolis Tribune of the
17th instant devotes a page or more
to a detailed report of the wheat crop
of three states Minnesota, North
Dakota and South Dakota. The

ems
f
C the
r
grand total for the three, is set down
. as ; 157,000,000 bushels,- distributed
as t follows: Minnesota 66,000,000
bushels;" South Dakota, 40,000,000
bushels, and North Dakota 51,000,000
buehrls. . '
These figures make no claim to be
more than approximations. It is safe
to say that the total of those three
states -Is not far from 150,000)00
bushels. The grand total for the
fv.iint.-o in onr ilnwn AS 500.
000,000 busnels. If the farmers have
no bad luck in harvesting, threshing
and marketing they ought to realize
not far from a dollar a bushel for
their crop. This of itself would be
enough to dispel the shadow of hard
times, but the corn crop bids fair to I
be quite as large in proportion, and
the oat crop too. The entire gram
crop of the United States is now esti
mated at 3,177,000,000 bushels, which
is 28 8 per cent, iii excess of last year
and 14.7 greater than the average
since" and including 1880. Every sta
pie crop of the country is reported to
be large, and there is every reason to
expect a year and an era of remarka
ble prosperity, the three states named
being no more highly favored than the
corn belt further south.
Our esteemed cotemporary makes
no Bpecial mention of the great wheat
crowing region in the northwest
Oregon, Washington, Montana and
Idaho in portions of which the crop
will be from 60 to 70 bushels to the
acre. This may make our eastern
neighbors look incredulously upon the
figures, but we are assured that in the
Palouse country some farms will
Droduce 00 bushels. Our portion of
the Uaion is the garden spot of the
United States, and can furnish wheat.
fruit and vegetables for the world.
FBOTECTION AGAIN.
The basis principle of Democracy is
to keep in favor with the solid south
and thus have this prestige over Re
publicans in presidential campaigns.
For this reason the Mills bill suited
the Democratic brethren, for it at
tempted to kill northern industries
and build up southern ones at the
same time. The McKioley bill is re
ceived with little favor because it places
sugar grown and manufactured- in
Louisiana on the free list, and the
following, from the Albany Democrat,
is a fair specimen of Democratic logic
If our high tariff friends continue in this
state of enthusiasm over the fall in - the
price of sugar from the removal of the du
ties npon that article, isn't there danger
that they will implant a desire in the' minds
of the public to try this experiment of re
duction on some other articles? We really
fail to see bow there is any possible escape
from this logic. Thus a broad avenue may
be opened to that fearful free, trade wbieh
has before not been mentioned without a
shuddering apprehension.
. Kegarding sugar, it is a necessary
article of food, and at no time has the
United States produced sufficient to
supply the demand. Therefore a tax
on the article would not .be a benefit,
and would be increasing the burdens
of consumers and benefitting only a
few planters in Louisiana. ' This can
lot be said of wool or any other pro
tected article. It has been proved
conclusively that there is sufficient
wool produced in the United States to
supply the demand of manufacturers,
and the imported article is not needed.
Protectionists "do not believe in taxing
consumers where the tariff will not
result to the benefit of all concerned,
Our cifizens are firmly convinced that
as good wool can be raised in Ohio,
Oregon and. California as elsewhere;
but that the industry cannot thrive if
the foreign product is admitted free of
duty. This cannot be said of sugar
without beet cultivation succeeds be
yond the expectations of the most
sanguine and , however high the pro-
tective duty our people must depend
upon the foreign product for this ne
cessity of daily consumption. The
reasoning of protectionists is simple
and logical. - It is not considered ad
visaole to put a tarm on neces
saries of life ' if, by so doing, it
si not increase their production
here, and eventually build up a home
industry; but with an article that can
be grown or produced with equal fa
cility as in a foreign country; it is
patriotic to keep the foreign product
out of the market as much as possible
by high protective duties. This is
commendable, for it properly discrimi
nates in favor of our own citizens
against foreigners, and has a tendency
to Stop the constant drain npon our
circulating medium to pay for im
ported articles. The Democratic
party pursued a similar policy regard
ing . the Chinese, and are advocating
similar measures regarding European
pauper labor of all nationalities what
ever. J. be republic, when hrst insti
tuted, adopted protection as an econ
omic principle, and has always pros
pered during years of high duties, but
when attempts have been made to in
augurale an opposite policy have suf
fered financial disaster.
The harvest of this year will dem
onstrate the capacity of Eastern Ore'
ton as a grain-growing region, and
the large and luscious fruit of all va
rieties produced this Beason will
clearly prove our capability in this
regard. . For these reasons the citi
zeus of The Dalles and vicinity .can
honestly hold out the hand of wel
come to the home-seeking immigrant,
We have broad acres and fruitful val
leys and mountain slopes, which will
amply reward the husbandman for
labor expended. Oregon has now
about 350,000 population; but in the
next decade she should approach a
million. To accomplish this all our
resources should be fully developed,
and all facilities for factories called in
requisition. The large rivers which
course through the state furnish a
cheap motive power for manufactures,
and these should . be utilized. By
these means cities will grow . and the
skilled and unskilled laborer can be
induced to settle with us. All factors
of development must be called into
operation, and by pursuing such a
course our advancement in the future
will be phenomenal.
The court at Leipic has decided that
the use of dog s flesh in sausage is
criminal. Our people are not as aes
thetic as these Germans, and consider
the finding of the tail or ear of a ca
nine in a line: ot a sausage simply a
friendly, practical joke, to be remem
bered and "played even" with on some
future occasion.
A Quincy (111.) man has lived for
the last fiv.e years on raw prunes, and
has gained three pounds in weight
There is a moral to this, and as there
are many lean men in this state, they
should eat ' prunes and grow fleshy.
Oregon is a good state for prunes.
GOOD DEMOCRACY.
The following, which we copy from
the Eugene Guard, is a specimen of
the sophistry which is being used by
the Democratic press:
la 1S90 we bought from the Spanish
American countries $I9S,000,000 worth of
imports and sold them $90,000,000 of our
product. This difference of $108,000,000,
which Republicans call "a balance of trade
against us," "shows at once the results of
reciprocity, the necessity for it, and the
promise of its future potency." So says
the New York Tribune and we agree with
it. But in order to know more of the "po
tency" of reciprocity, consider the fast that
we sold England in 18903370.000.000 worth
of farm Droducts. in return for which we
only received 8165,000.000 of English goods
which, when taxed at the McKinley rate of
an average of CO cents on the dollar, cost
us 99,000,000 more than their value or
the selling price England, charges us on the
exchange for our wheat, cotton, corn and
provisions, of which England takes more
than half sent abroad from America. This
tax cost, added to onr imports received in
return for agricultural exports, is equiva
lent in so much to a deduction from the
prefits of our surplus. That ia. our exports
of $S70.000,000 a year to England are taxed
99.000.0000 on the exchange with Eng
land. It makes no difference in results
whether the tax is laid on what we give in
exchange or what we get in exchange. As
a tax on our trade it comes out of our trade,
and we lose it. This is another demonstra
tion of the necessity of reciprocity.
We send $108,000,000 in money year to
Spanish America to settle our balances.
England, gets this money and sends it back
to us for our agricultural products. Under
this arrangement England, which offers
reciprocity to us and to Spanish America
alike, because it is not silly enough to tax
its own trade, commands the Spanish Amer
ican markets with its exports, and com
mands our markets for agricultural surplffs
for the very simple reason that, being a
better customer for us than all the rest of
the world together, it has va right to have
something to say In the bargain.
- The sophistry in this argument is
that the tariff duty is paid by the con
sumer. This is a mistake. For in
stance, English manufactured goods
are taxed highly, and this revenue is
not paid by the wearer of English
clothes, but is simply a barrier to keep
these goods out of the market. If it
were otherwise congressmen could not
have presented American made clothes,
all wool, before the last session
at a less price than the import
ed article. The tariff is not a tax
upon the American consumer, but on
the foreign importer. If it were not
leyied, goods would be as high as they
are now, but the money would be sent
out of the country to enrich European
capitalists.. Protection is only a tax
on the foreign manufacturer, and not
on the American citizen. It simply
says, if you want to clothe yourself
with English goods, this country will
make the importer pay a heavy duty
into the treasury of the nation. This
is by no means a tax on the wearer;
but has the effect to decrease the price
of the article by competition. Demo
cratic sophistry is always on the sur
face in that party's politics, and it is
well that the fallacy of this trash
should be shown, by the statement of
certain facts, that the tariff is never
added to the price of articles, 'but it is
placed on the market in competition
with the home article, and must rise
or fall cn its own merits. When pro
tection would become a tax on the
consumer, Republicans, as in the arti
cle of sugar, will be pronounced free'
traders, as they in no wise believe in
taxing those who are compelled to use
an article when it cannot be maau-
frctured as cheaply here as it can in
Europe. The economic policy of the
Republican party considers the great
est good to the greatest' number, and
in every instance patriotically give
preference to all articles the result of
American labor.
- KEEP THE MONEY AT HOME.
When steam was "first applied as a
motive power to water navigation it
was mathematically demonstrated that
no ship could be built of sufficient ca
pacity to carry coal to propel a vessel
across the Atlantic. Years of actual
experiment have proved the conclusion
absolutely incorrect. Professors in
some of our colleges have attempted
to prove that no nation can prosper
and grow without adopting a free
trade policy, and the actual experi
ence of the United States, France and
Germany for long years has demon'
strated these to be as fallacious as the
theory that no ship could be built to
carry enough fuel to generate steam to
propel her across the ocean. These
facts simply prove that frequently
theories will not produce the result
expected, while experimental knowl
edge is something upon which im
plicit reliance can' be placed. - A very
practical illustration of the benefits of
protection is the following excerpt,
from the Town Talk, of Asto
ria; and the statements . therein
contained are as true as sunlight:
"There are a large number of" people
in the United States who sincerely be
lieve that we have not money enough,
and whose chief desire is to increase
the amount of the currency. We beg
leave to remind them that one of the
best ways of doing that is by the pro
tectionist policy. If we adopt a free-
trade tariff, and buy our manufactured
goods in Europe in place of making
them ourselves, there will be a con
stant drain of gold twelve months in
the year from .this side of the Atlan
tic, the 8a me as there was during the
famous free-trade era from 1847 to
1860. President Fillmore, in his
message to congress in 1852, reminded
that body that notwithstanding the
enormous amount of gold furnished by
the mines of California, it was no
sooner coined than it was shipped to
Europe to pay for manufactured goods.
Shall we go back to a period of money
scarcity?"
The prospects of the northwest this
fall are very promising, for the wheat
crop is abundant and the price is
ranging very high. -All over Europe
there have been failures, and in Rus
sia and India there will not be suffi
cient supply of -breadatuf& to satisfy
the local demand ; consequently there
will be no grain to export. In this
emergency the hungry people of Eu
rope must lcok to America for flour
and bread, and our farmers will be
haDPV to supply their wants. For the
past two or three years short crops,
high freight rats and low prices have
discouraged agriculturalists ; but this
season the crops are good, rates have
been reduced and prices are ranging
higher than any year since the late
war. This will attract gold from Eu
rope in liberal quanties, and will act
as a great stimulant to industries and
business in the northwest.
Senator Sherman made his opening
speech in the Ohio campaign yester
day, and devoted his time to an exam
ination of the silver question. Per
haps there is no. other man in the na
tion who has such a comprehensive
understanding of the subject of finan
ces as Senator .Sherman, and the ad
mirable system adopted by the United
States was the result of his manage
ment as secretary of the treasury. Of
course, a man who has had such prac
tical experience with the successful
policy of the United States, will not
be found lending the least aid to the
fallacies and subterfuges by which the
Democratic party expect to hoodwink
the farmer and laborer into support
ing their nominees; and Senator. Sher
man has good sense and in his opinions
has the advantage of being cognizant
of the result of actual experiments
The labors of the rainmakers in
Midland, Texas, have been successful,
and from a barren, dry, alkali prairie
that country has been changed into
first-class pasture lands. If these ex
periments succeed in Texas why should
they not in Oregon? and what a bless
ing it would be if, during the crop
growing season, moisture could be
produced at pleasure! Uncle Jerry
Rusk, is undoubtedly interested in
agriculture, and if the present plan
pursued at the Locks is to be contin
ued for the next two or three genera
tions, it would bo well that congreatj
be petitioned to send these scientrrfic
rain-producers to Eastern Oregon
next year. If the thing is a certainty
it would insure good crops in 1892
and a sweeping Republican victory.
The conflict in Chili between the
congressional party and the supporters
of Baloiaceda is neanng the end, and
the result is anxiously watched by the
friends of free government in this
country. As soon as the facts were
known regarding the revolution in
this South American republic the sym
pathy of citizens of the United States
was extended in a large measure in
favor of those who were battling for
constitutional liberty and against the
despotism of President Baloiaceda.
Chili is the most advanced of the latin
republics on this continent, and the
friends of liberty would rejoice to see
human rights respected and the rule of
the people firmly established.
Hon. James G. Blaine is becoming
more prominent as candidate for presi
dent jn 1892 as 'the campaign ap
proaches. His actions as secretary of
state have made the nation intensely
American, and his policy in the
Mafia dispute and his advocacy of
reciprocity with countries whose man
ufacturers would Lot come in com
petition with the products of this
nation, ehows him to be a statesman
and an economist of tbe first order.
If Mr. Blaine runs for president in
1892 he will receive the votes of a
large number of citizens who were
not friendly to him when he headed
the ticket in 1884.. -
The Astoria Town Talk is dealing
some powerful blows to the council of
that city, "and if what it says (and we
have no reason to doubt it) is true, it
is doing a good work for that mnnici
pality. A paper that will keep silent
when it sees a corrupt ring rule mu
nicipal affairs is not worthy of support,
and occupies the unenviable position
of the subsidized organ.. It may hap
pen that combined capital may at
tempt to "down" the Talk, but if the
editors have sufficient pluck to keep
bravely on, they will live "long and
prosper."
j.ne oDjecc or uregon tnis season
should be to control the Columbia
river to her own advantage. . As
cheap means of transportation there is
none - other in Oregon, and if
Portland desires to competp with the
Sound ports she must use water trans
portation to receive the products of
the Inland Empire, With an open
river tbe city on the Willamette will
be the metropolis of the great north
west; and without this, the great city
will be built on the Sound.
The editorial in the issue of the Sun
of to-day headed "Bosh " is the most
appropriate entitled article we have
ever read in that or any other paper.
We have perused it thoughtfully and
carefully, and can arrive at no other
conclusion than that it is Bimply "bosh"
and nothing more. The heading of
this editorial displays a commendable
genius in that line on the part of onr
cotemporary.
Fires have begun thinning out the
forests in Washington and Oregon on
the banks of the Columbia river. This
has been usual for several years, and
millions of feet of lumber have thus
been recklessly ' and ruthlessly de
stroyed. We believe there is a statute
against the destruction of our native
forests, and this should be Btrictly en
forced in every instance and no excep
tions made. '
The dispatches contain the intelli
gence that Balmaceda has won a com
plete victor; over the insurgents, and
tbat peace will soon reign over af
flict sd Chili. It - would have been
conformable to onr wishes if the con
gressionalists had succeeded; bu
peace of almost any kind 1s preferable
to distracting war.

Chilian War In Over.
Washington, Aug. 27 Senor Lazcano,
the Chilian minister at Washington, to
day received a cablegram dated "Val
pariso, 36!h," from M. M. Aldunate,
minister of foreign affairs, saying that on
the 25th the insurgent army was com
Diet el v deafeated in Vino del Mar. A
division of the Chilian government army
cut off tbeir retreat to their ships and
obliged them to surrender unconditional
ly. All the country, the dispatch adds,
applauds the valor and skill of the gov
ernment army.
Washihgton. D. C . Aug. 27 "The
war is over," said Senoi Pazano, the Cnili
an minister, to a press representative,
commenting on a cable dispatch received
from the Chilian niiuister of foreign af
fairs. Senor Pazano wore a contented
expression upon his determined face
while bis handsome wife, who acts as bis
interpreter, beamed with enthusiasm, joy
and happicess. "The war began six
months ago," Senor Pnzavo exclaimed,
"and the insurgents were led by Colonel
Canto, who bad been dismissed from tbe
Chilian army. He succeded in securing
tbe Chilian navy, and on this account
has been able until now to maintain bis
army. Tbe Chilian government had no
navy, and because of this disadvantage
they have been unable to hem in tbe
insurgents.''
"Had we had ships,'' said Senor Pazano,
tracing the positions nf the government
and insurgent lorces on a rough map be
bad drawn so as to explain himself, "wu
would have succeeded long ago."
He then traced tbe positions of the ar
my of tbe Chilian government under com
mnd of General Velasquez, present
minister of war, and who distinguished
himself in the war between Chili and
Peru ten years ago, and at Coquimbo, on
the northern coast of Chili.
There were 1,000 government troops in
the garrison, while below at Concepcion
1000 men were under arms. To the left
of Concepcion an army of 9000 were
rendezyoued between Santiago and Qain
ttros, above the Acnnoquo river
The
insurgents under Colonel Canto moved
down tbe coast toward Val pariso. At
Aconnquo river the insurgents were met
by a torce of 500 from tbe government
army, which bad moved up from the lett
ot Concepcion. This force held the in
surgeots at bay for thirty hours. In the
meantime tbe government forces at San
tiago, Concepcion aud Coquimbo moved
down, hemmed in the jatarccnts and
compelled tbeir uncofiidfcD8surreirf.
The Park Place Miwsfter.
New York, Aug. 25 Two bodies were

this morning. They were identibed as
vVilliam H. Ellie, of El!is & McDonaid,
and Fredriok W. Tnpple, pioprietor of
the drug store m the ill-fated bnilding.
The Italian laborer caught robbing the
bodies yesterday, was sentenced to tbe
penitcntary for six months to-day.
At 9 o.clock this morning thirty-two
bodies had been taken from tbe ruins
of ihe collapsed building. Tbis leuyes
about tairty still missing unaconnled
for.
By 10:45 o'clock, five more bodies were
disclosed, but they could not be reacheed
because of a beavy loa l of machinery on

ting said there were not lees than twenty
persons buried under tbe restaurant,
Tbe police think tbere were c bout filty

the total ninety killed.
lo-cay it is stated tbe catastrophe was
thought to have been caused by an ex
plosion ol nsptba or some other explosive
matter.
Tbe Insurance companies interested in
the Park Place disaster held a meeting
to day and appoin'ed a committee to
make an exhaustive inquiry Into tbe
causes of the calamity. Tbe committee
was instructed not to admit any liability
. At a late hour to-night tbe total num
