. "DIRECT TAXATION:
."' It is not to be expected that papers
. in Eastern Oregoo, a country so much
in need of government aid to open the
Columbia river, woald oppose tbe River
and Harbor bill, and for this reason
wo "were very much surprised to find
the foioing editorial in the columns
of .onr esteemed contemporary, the
East Oregonian: "The JRiver and Har
bor bill, which has not been heard
from for several days, is doubtful of
becoming a law. We would not care
if it failed of passage, as it it, to a
large extent, a great big steal. The
money it appropriates would eventu
ally be wasted, so the people have
little interest in it. All such appro
priations, under present machinations,
are entirely in the interest of tbe
tricksters, manipulators and favorites
of the politicians. No public appro
priation is advantageously and econo
mically expended any longer, owing to
the 'machine ways' of things. "The
people are bled to fatton the parasites
and that is all there is to it. Direct
taxation would open the eyes of the
people to such extravagance, and direct
taxation cannot come until the tariff
for protection is as dead as a door
nail." Under the contract system there
can be no waste of public funds, and
. the work will be completed at the
earliest possible date. When these
improvements were under charge, of
the war department the money appro
priated in the River and Harbor bill
went into circulation among tbe labor
ers of the country, and if there were
delays the greatest injury suffered was i
' by the producers in deferring the com
pletion of the canal and locks. . Tbe
officers in the board of engineers re
ceive their salaries from the govern
ment, and not out of the appropria
tion bill. If, by the money being kept
in the treasury, it reduced taxation to
citizens, there might be an argument
. in favor of the plan; but the expenses

of the despotism of tho old countries,
where, apparently, tbo only relief from
oppression is tbe death of those in
authority. With these evil notions
implanted deeply in their ideas of
politics, tbey come to this country and
imagine every official is an enemy to
the people, and every factory owner a
fit subject for death by assassination.
Stricter emigration laws might prevent
these decking to our shores, and with
out something in done J hey will un
doubtedly threaten the permanency of

TBE COy TRACT SYSTEM.
It see in 8 that the opponents of an
open river are determined to place
every obstacle in the way of an early
completion of the work at the Locks,
even now since the contract system
had been adopted. It is hinted in an
article which we publish elsewhere
that delays may be caused by the lack
of appropriations to continue opera
tions. We have not seen the Kiver and
Harbor bill as it passed the house, and
know nothing of its provisions relating
to the improvement of the Columbia
river at the Cascades only as far as
they have been published in the dis
patches; but do not believe the Oregon
delegation would have permitted them
to have become law without they

Further on it says:

for the same object that laborers com
bine in unions, and these aain into
amalgamated associations. There is
no violation of law for railroad cor
porations to combine, neither is there
for any class, of laborers. It must be
admitted that in many instances great
hardships result, as in the Homestead
strike, where the wages of only 325
men and they receiving almost
princely salaries were effected by Mr,
Cirpegie'a action, and 3,475, who re
ceived the lowest pay, were compelled
by the amalgamated association to quit
work and thus reduce themselves and
families to starvation. The 325, whose
wages were reduced, could well afford
to "go out," for they had comfortable
homes and the means to support their
families, but the loss of & week's work

Direct
taxation would not be successful in
any free country, and while we can
raise sufficient revenue on luxuries and
foreign fabrics, we can leaye the indi
vidual citizen alone.
The discontented classes will always
' be numerically strong enough to form
a political organization,, but never to
control the nation, because they advc
' cate unsafe and ' impracticable notions
' on public questions. At dne time they
may consider that an unlimited . issue
of greenbacks would . cure all the ilia
now suffered by the people, and at an
other time that free silver would be
a universal remedy. Speculation in
principles of government is in direct
opposition to the experiments of cen-
turies, from which conclusions have
been derived. The monetary question
has been practically tested by the
best established nations of tbe age,
and there is no ground for specula
tion or theorizing. The same is true
of fiat money, which was proved
impracticable hundreds of years ago.
But the latest theory comes to us in a
San Francisco People's paper, which
comes out Btrongly in favor of direct
' legislation and the abolition of the
legislative monopoly. If laws were
to be made and adopted directly by
tne masses tbere would be queer
statutes, and pandemonium would
reign supreme. But the discontents
haver been given a free rein to their
' fancies, and it is impossible to im
agine what they will not attempt to
formulate to free the world from
combinations of all kinds except
of men of their own way of thinking.
No undertaking of greater importance to
Portland has been announced for years
than the capitalization of tbe great water
power at Willamette Falls by a company
with ample resources to develop this vast
power through electrical agencies. Ex
perience with electricity, though yet in its
infancy, baa gone far enough to prove that
the possibilities of such a power aa that of
the Willamette Falls are immense. - Cheap
and effective transmission is now practically
solved; and now, since ample capital has
been enlisted, power will be distributed
wherever wanted iu and about Portland.
It will be a great agency in building up the
city. ' Tbere is scarcely another place in the
world where a city baa an equal advantage.
Oregonian,
By the same method The Dalles
could utilize the water power of the
rapids, and this would be of equal force
with the falls at Oregon city, and
much more available, as there would be
Jess waste in transmission.
The affair at Hoaneetead and the
strike in the Cceur d'Alene mines have
" attracted universal attention to the old
fight between capital and labor, and
nearly every newspaper in the country
has "had something to say in reference
to this subject. For a time the Demo
cratic papers attempted to make poli
cal capital out of the occurrences; but
since it has been ascertained that tbe
McKinley bill lowered the price of
some of the manufactured steel pro
duced at Carnegie's works they are
quite reticent. When the press of
either party are driven to the strait of
attempting to bolster up its hopes of
success by an unfortunate and deplor
able catastrophe like that in Pen nay 1
Vania or the 4one in Idaho, the pros
pects of victory are fading fast away.
The attempted assassination of Mr.
Frick, the manager of Mr. Carnegie's
works at Homestead, is more evidence

If the contractors fail to perforin the
conditions damages may be collected
from them, and if congress fails to ap
propriate sufficient money to carry on
the work expeditiously, an action will
lie against the government There is
no doubt that this contract will be
carefully drawn, and that the usual
provisions regarding thoroughness and
expedition will be inserted, and
and also that " the government
will be sufficiently obligated in relation
to the money being made available.

Furthermore, during iho last lifty
yearn wo have received large acces
sions to our population from foreign
immigration, and tbe majority of these
have gravitated to the lower strata,
This was undoubtedly a lending cause
of the increase of poverty up to the
time of the rebellion; but after that
epoch other factors came into opera
tion. At its close the industries of
the country were bankrupt, and dis
charging hundreds of thousands of
men, who had followed camp life for
years, -increased the number of
those who lived from the industry of
otherx. As our array were citizen sol
diers in very many instances, there
were fewer idlers from choice than af
ter disbanding any large army of mod
ern tunes; but there was little work for
any to do. The great factories w-re
not in operation, and there was little
employment for skilled or unskilled
labor. If tbe Morrill tariff bill had
cot passed we do not believe the
United States would have been able to
recover from the heavy burdens of the
war: hut the tact remains, the na
tional debt has been greatly reduced,
our industries re-established, and there
is no more unequal distribution
of wealth among tbe masses in this
country than have generally resulted
from the natural causes named. To
day there is more inequality in England
than in this country, which is to be
accounted for by reason of our more
favorable condition. It must be con
sidered in this connection that the de
mands of a larger population are more
urgent than those of a smaller one,
and to accommodate people with the
conveniences of modern times requires
great accumulations of wealth and
likewise great expenditures. We
could not spare one of tbe many trans
continental lines of railroad now in
operation, nor one of the telegraph
lines across the continent; neither
would tbe people be willing to do away
with any of the large iron and steel
mills, or other manufacturing in
dustries. Still each of these enter
prises must have at its . head men who
count millions like the poorest class
count dollars. The stage coach, the
freight wagon and the pony express
are relics of e- past age, and to carry
on the machinery of this fast epoch of
the world there must be men of colos
sal fortunes. There never would have
been tbe network of railroads that now
exist in the east and west.or the thou
sands of miles of transcontinental lines,
or the great iron works around Pitts
burg and other immense industries of
late years without there were Jay
Goulds, Yanderbilts or Carnegies in
the United States. We do not say
ethically they are right or wrong;
but . that great undertakings
must have . great minds in -the
lead especially . adapted for the
purpose. And with all due consider
ation for the opinions of our brothers
of the Democratic press, and with a
determination to do everything in our
power for the amelioration of our fel
low-man in all conditions of life, we
are firmly convinced that the present
status of labor and capital is the result
of natural causes, and which has ex
isted in all past ages of the world and
will continue until "time shall be no
more." .

Ptttsbdro, July 26. The spirit of re
bellion and anarchy in Homestead has
not yet been suppressed. Whenever an
opportunity offers itself for these men to
outrage strangers and people whom they
consider enemies, tbey take advantage
of it. There were several such instances
to-day. An old women io Homestead
was notified tbat if her son continued to
work in tbe mills her house would be
burned. Several men who applied .for
work were cangbt by the strikers and
forced, at tbe pistol's point, to leave
town. Newspaper men are harassed and
annoyed by petty obstacles and insults
which tbe strikers throw in their way
whenever tbey can. Tbe inhabitants of
Homestead, do matter what their leaders
say, or what they themselves avow to
outsiders, rejoice in their hearts over tbe
affliction of Mr. Frick.- Burgess Mc
Luckie is outspoken in his hatred of tbe
manager. Toe would-be assassin is

to-day from Marcus and other points in

Colville reservation has assumed a very
serious aspect during the last three dajs.
The Indian police are busy watching the
frontier, but prospectors and boomers

was badly injured. Tbere are still a large
number of miners on the reservation,
who have tbns far escaped detection.
Tbe Indians say there are nearly 100

awaiting tbe piesident's proclamation.
Ttie boomers are still concentrating at

Bon-Babed Cities.
Chicago, July 27. The slaughter by
sun was still on in Chicago to-day. Fifty
deaths and more than twice as many
prostrations from heat occurred. Al
though there is now a prediction of a
cold wave, and a possibility of relief, it is
certain that the number of deaths will be
largely increased during the next few
days. Tbe hospitals are tilled with pati
ents 8u Bering from sunstroke, and many
of them cannot recover. The record of
yesterday, which surpassed anything in
the number of deaths and prostrations
from tbe heat that tbe city has ever
known, was eclipsed by tbe awful work
of the. sua to-day. The temperature
ranged in the shade from 92 to 94 and, as
for days past, tbe wind was from tbe
south and blistering hot. Tbe majority
of the casualties has occurred among tbe
laboring men and io tbe portions of the
city tbat are occupied by the poorer

Bishop Thomas McGoveru, tbe head of

NATVRAL RESULTS.

The discussion which has followed
the recent strikes has brought many .
important questions to the surface, and
notably the one in reference to capital
and labor. Some newspapers have
claimed that the cause of the inequal
ity in certain classes is the effect of
the high protective tariff which has
been in operation since 1861; but to

The Albany Democrat still charges

Vancouver, B. C , July 28. There
were no new cases nor developments in

Tbe family bad been tent away. No

Tne Sights of Settlers.
Washington, July 26 President Har
rison is going to veto a bill which several
Western senators say "is very important.
It is the one which passed both houses
not long ago, providing tbat any person
wbo claims to bave a reasonable right to
piece ot land tbat the department of
the interior has refused to award bim
inav, before tbe patent is issued, sue tbe
government in tbe court of claims or be
fore the United States district court to
obtain bis patent. Both tbe attorney
general and the-secretary of tbe interior
are against the bill, and it will probably
fail, although tbere is some talk that it
will be passed over the veto. Senator
Mitchell says this bill is ot great import
ance to the people of tbe Pacific North
west. '
' Withdrawal of Troops.
Homestead, Pa., July 26. Tbe with

cheering. Hundreds of white tents
folded on shanty hill, proclaimed tbe fact
to tbe strikers in their homes at the foot
of the slope. Tbe lucky boys in blue
wbo were the first ones to get marching

gradually be removed, until only two
regiments remain. These two will be

Ventilate People In St. John's
Halifax, July 27. The latest inform
atinn from St. John's, N. F., states the
militia still parade streets to maintain
order and prevent incendiarism, which
baa been attempted. Tbe condition of
the poor in the onburned section is worse
than tbose in the burned, as tbey are
without mesne or subsistence and can
get none of tbe relief contributions.
Tbey are actually trying to burn tbeir
few belongings so as to get help. Nearly
7000 persons are encamped io a large
field, housing being tbe worst feature
at present. There is no want of clothing
or food. The coming fall and winter
will, it is feared, realize tbe famine tbat
