MWORIAL HAT).
It has become a national custom to
observe the 30th of May of each year
aa a day in which the deeds of the he
roes of the last war shall receive ap-
propriate mention and their graves be
decked with flowers. The observance
has bacome of such universal accept-
ance that not only the last resting
place of soldiers receive floral tributes,
but those of relatives and friends
share like oflerings. -. Thus it has be
come a memorial day for all classes, in
which the sacred remembrance of the
dead usurp all others, and when the
deads and words of those who have
crossed to the silent shore are re
hearsed by loving lips.
i In its national significance the les
sons to be learned are those of loyalty
to the government and abiding faith
in the permanency of free institutions,
and these will be impressed upon the
minds of young and old by the ritual
istic ceremonies of the G. A. R. and
the appropriate addresses delivered on
the occasion. Sufficient time has
elapsed since the last gun was fired in
the war of tha rebellion for- sectional
bitterness to be eradicated from the
hearts of all, and, while the memory
of those who died that the nation
might lire should never become dim
or obscure in the breast of any patriotic
citizen, the battles should . not be
fought over again or the rancorous
hatred revived. The cause for which
they fought has been triumphant, and
the generous victors should extend for
giveness to their foes and cover the
past with the pall of forgetfulness.
There is one nation now, the south
and ' the north are equal members
of the - union, and it is to be
hoped are actuated by the came patri
otic devotion to a common flag and a
common country. It is aloioat impos
sible that such n condition of affairs
could exist again as it did from '61 to
'65, and the teachings of Decoration
Day forces it farther into tfie region of
-improbabilities. A purer government,
freer from the machinations of politi
cians, and the safeguards around the
freedom of the ballot box stronger and
' more enduring, should be the earnest
wish of every true American citizen,
and this should be especially so as
with grateful hearts they bend over
the narrow, chambers of the honored
dead to-morrow. '
As a family memorial occasion,
grass covered graves of many years
ago and newly made ones of yes
terday will be bent over by tearful
eyes, and flowers of love and remem
brance will be placed npon the eod.
Tor this day, at Jeast, the departed
will occupy the thoughts of the living,
and mothers and sons, and husbands
and wives, though separated perhaps
for years, will be united by the ever
lasting bonds of affection. It is a day
for peace and love, for tears and pray
ers, for kind thoughts and hallowed
memories; . when emnity and strife,
slander and treachery, greed and sel
fishness should be driven from every
breast And, as with reverent, affec
tionate feelings, the graves are visited,
each one should remember that the
"living of to day- are the dead of to
morrow," and memorial day should
thus become one in which the soul of
every one should rise in a more earn
est endeavor to reach the noblest and
purest in human life and character.
THE WHY AND WHEREFORE.
' The cause of the present depression
in business is a subject of general dis
cussion, and several reasons have been
assigned.' An esteemed Democratic
- exchange, which has become a convert
to the unlimited coinage craze, gives
, the following as the cause for the
present hard times: "When the Re
publican party surrendered to the de
mands of Great Britain and Germany
' for a demonetization of silver, the
trouble began which is now culmi
nating i a prospect of universal bank
ruptcy. And yet we have only reached
the beginning of the end, unless we
right about face and bring the nation
back to the constitutional standard of
- maintaining bi-metallism with free'
coinage for both gold and silver. ' We
' must return to fundamental principles,
and begin anew where ' we 'eft off.
When it is known that the act of
which complaint is made was passed
. by congress in 1873, twenty years ago,
it will be seen that if this was the ac
tuating cause it took a long time
lor its effects to be felt; but this can
not be substantiated by a single fact.
' On the contrary, the English and Ger
mans, who nave held our securities,
have been calling in their gold be
cause of the agitation of the silver
question in this country. This has
created the tremulousness in money
centers, and the dullness in
all departments of trade through
out the nation. If the silver
act of 1873 was financially disastrous,
the country would not have been as
prosperous as it had been until the
late Democratic administration was
inaugurated. - The fact of tho matter
"is the world has too much silver in
circulation now, and commercial na
tions will not trade on any other basis
than that of gold. This is a fixed law,
and it is simply courting bank
ruptcy - for the United States to
attempt any change. The sconer
the government repeals the Sher
man act, places itself on a firm finan
cial basis, and pays no attention to the
owners of silver mines in the west, the
quicker it will overcome the present
monetary distress and again be on the
high road to prosperity and develop
ment v
The remedy given by our cotempo-
rary would be simply national suicide.
If we were to adopt bi-metallism with
free coinage for both gold and silver
it would destroy our trade with other
nations, and no foreigner would dare

we would soon
level of Mex
ico and the South American
republics, with depreciation of our
coin abroad and bankruptcy at home.
It would simply be killing the patient
to cure the disease. If we are to "right
about face" it must be to a solid gold
basis, and not to plunge ourselves
deeper-in the mire than we are at
present by attempting to inaugurate a
policy, the mere fear of which is caus
ing all our trouble.
History is simply repeating itself in
these disastrous times, for never since
the constitution was adopted has there
been a change from the sate protective
policy to that of free trade that stag
nation to business has not followed.
The uncertainty of the Democratic
party on financial questions is aug
menting the financial distress, for the
Chicago platform gave forth no certain
sound on monetary matters. Free
trade and free coinage are equally dis
astrous, and the United States cannot
adopt either and be prosperous.
FREE-TRADE WOOL.
As apprehended by Republicans
afier the national election last fall the
wool market has opened very quiet,
and the nrices are the lowest that have
been offered for many years. This is
because the manufacturers expect a
repeal of the taiiff on the product, and
believe they will be able to purchase
the Australian and Argentine fleeces
at very low figures. The long period
of cold weather has made excellent
sales of woolen fabrics throughout the
east, and if the McKinley bill had
not been attacked in the last campaign
by Democrats, and their candidate
elected on' that issue, sheepmen to-day
would be receiving high prices for
their clip instead of storing them in
hope of the market being more buoy
ant as the senson .advances. Every
time any attempt' has been made to
open our gates to foreign raw material
the result has been very depressing on
local producers. It is impossible,
nnder the present conditions, to grow
wool as cheaply as it can be in Aus
tralia or in the Argentine republic
The climate is more equable in those
countries, pasture is almost unlimited
and labor commands very low wages.
These advantages cannot be overcome,
and free trade in wool means the total
destruction of the industry " in the
United States. With our varied in
dustries awaiting development protec
tion is the doctrine best adapted to
the growth and prosperity of . the
country, and the history of the past
demonstrates that financial disis ters
have always followed any deviation
from this course. Not only in wool,
but in every industry where the Amer
ican citizen is- forced into competition
with the cheap servile labor of other
countries, the result will be destruc
tive to the best interests of the entire
country.
An exchange, reasoning from prem
ises which cannot be sustained, says
there will be no unification of senti
ment in favor of forming one state out
of Eastern Washington and Eastern
Oregon and. another out of Western
Washington and Western Oregon, and
then closes with this preposterous
statement: "Hence the question of
boundaries will be left for each state
to solve, and will not be one for their
ioint consideration." A state has no
authority to fix .its own boundaries.
Congress alone has power to do this,
and has exercised it on several occa
sions. The northwest territory was
carved into several states, and also the
Louisiana purchase. West Virginia
was formed out of old Virginia about
the close of the war, and out of the
original Oregon territory has come
Oregon, Washington, Idaho and Mon
tana. Neither Oregon or Washing
ton, jointly or separately, will form
the boundaries of the nsw states, if
such are cieated, but the national leg
islature in Washington City will be
supreme in the matter. The Cascade
range is the natural boundary of these
states, and our representatives in con
gress, as soon as the people manifest a
desire in this regard, should present
the matter in the senate and lower
house.' -
The Democratic party will enter the
municipal election in Tbe Dalles with
flags flying and with a full list of can
didates, and it may be expected that
Republicans will do the same. This
is the first time in the history of this
city that any attention has been paid
to party lines in this contest, and
we are doubtful if voters will keep in
side the ranks. As the Democracy
made the first movement in this direc
tion it is presumable that . the action
was taken in strong hopes of victory,
ai.d this may result from the national
success achieved last fall: but the one
is not the least indicative of the other.
As Democrats have thrown down the
gauntlet, we hope it will be taken up
by Republicans, and, if the opposition
desire, we will make the municipal
officers of.The Dalles a test of the' po
litical affiliations of the voters of this
city. ,

of which they need be ashamed.
However, some Democratic papers,
lacking that generosity which forbids
the brave and chivalrous to taunt a
fallen foe are sneering at these men
because of their disasters. We be
lieve American citizens are not such
worshipers of wealth that proverty

THE WHEAT PROSPECT,
The New York Sun figured it all
out about twelve months ago that
there would be such an enormous
shortage in the grain supply of Europe
that American wheat would command
famine prices. Elaborate statistical
tables were given which seemed to be
conclusive. But some way the bears,
and not the bulls, made the profits in
cereal speculation, take the year
through, by a very larjje majority.
The same journal has embarked
once more in the same undertaking.
The conclusion reached, after going
ovor the wheat fields of the world, is
that on the most optimistic view of
the situation permissible the deficit
will be 64.000,090 bushels, while a
pessimistic prognostication, based on
an estimate of a minimum European
crop and an American crop no greater
than that of 1885, namely, 357,000,
000 bushels, is that the deficit will be
233,000,000 bushels.
Assuming that everybody would eat
as much bread as he would like to,
and of the kind he preferred, keeping
it up until the supply was exhausted,
very likely there would be this maxi
mum deficit, but the truth is that con-
sumption adjusts itself with remarfea-
ble elasticity to the supply available.
lhere is no cast-iron (jemand, even on
the supposition that everybody would
have enough to eat.
If one kind of
food is not obtainable at about the
usual price, another takes its place.
The Inter Ocean believes that the
world's fair will, greatly increase the
consumption of corn as a food product,
and one cf the most attractive features
of the woman's building and of the
exposition as a .whole is the daily
lecture, with practical illustrations, on
corn and how to cook it If the wo
men of this country, not taking into
account Europp, were as skillful in
preparing cornmeal as wheat flour for
their tables, the consumption of corn,
from choice, not taking in economy,
would be increased at least 50,000,000
bushels a year. We mention this to
illustrate the flexibility of the general
food supply.
Again, look at the matter from the
standpoint of the statistics given by
the Sun itself and we see that this
is a prime factor in the problem. Ac
cording to its figures the present popu
lation of this country, and the esti
mate is a fair one, is about 67,000,000,
not much more . than half that of
Russia. Our wheat requirements are
at least 150,000, bushels in excess of
those of Russia, or about equal to the
total exports of both countries, and to
one-half the total exports of all wheat
exporting countries. We require for
home consumption 378,500,000 bushels
to Russio's 210,000,000. Fully 25
per cent, of the wheat eaten by all the
countries which export this cereal .is
consumed in the United States.
Again, Europe has a population of
some 375,000,000 and on the Ameri
can basis would require all the export
wheat of the world and nearly 2,000,-
000,000 bushels besides, but on th
Russian basis would require less than
800,000,000.
- These are general facts of the high
est importance and most practical bear'
ing, none of which seems to have
entered into the calculation of the Sun
man. . Besides, it is really too early to
estimate the crop of this year with
anything like approximate accuracy,
.Even the supply on hand is an un
known quantity. The probability is
that it is exceptionally large, as prices
were far below anticipation nearly all
last year. The high price which pre'
vailed in (Jbicago this spring was
speculative, and did not perceptibly
benefit the producer.
EDITORIAL NOTES.
An exchange wants "honest Demo
crats." That has been a "long felt
want" for nearly a half century, and
has not been hlled yet
The Salem Democrat seems to be
pleased at tbe result of the injunction
suit in regard to the soldiers' home at

The promise of fair crops in Russia,
reported in the dispatches, if realized
this season, will havk a worse effect

Sir Charles Russell, the counsel for
Great Britain before th Paris court
of arbitration, was still talking at last
accounts He has been arguing tbe
case for several days, and it is a diffi
cult problem to determine when he
will finish.
The surplus in the treasury is still
decreasing, and foreigners are calling
in their gold. This must be the result
of tbe agitation of the silver question
and fear that the government will
adopt bi mettalism to satisfy the
clamor of a portion of the people.
It must have been very gratifying
to tbe descendants of Lafayette in
Paris for the American colony to com
memorate the day by decorating the
tomb of the great French republican
with flowers. Memorial day has be
come the day oi rememorance to
Americans wherever they reside, and
the occasion will be made sacred by
acts which show that they do not for
get their friends when they have
crossed to the silent shore.
The state of Washington is receiv
ing its proportion of favors from the
administration in the shape of appoint
ments, while Oregon has been snubbed
on more ehan one occasion. This has
caused the Democracy in this portion
of the northwest to become dissatis
fied, and they will enter national cam
paigns in the future in no very harmo
nious condition. It is fair to presume,
even at this early day, that Grover
Cleveland will not be nearly as popu
lar in 1896 as be was in 1892.

The decision of the secretary of the

of the secretary will unsettle title held
under the same conditions in every
state of the union. There can be no
dount that the matter will be taken to

A Terrible Tragedy.

named Hoy. consisting of mother, father

in a thickly settled neighborhood of New

that such a tragedy could be enacted

bouse on an errand that tbe terrible trag
edy was discovered. Tbe victims were
all lying dead in the same room, and
from appearances they bad been dead for
some time.' Toe discovery caused intense
excitement in tbe locali'v, and in a few
minutes tbe bouse was surrounded with
an immense crowd, while tbe building
was filled to suffocation. The theory
prevails that tbe husband perpetrated
tbe horrible deed and then committed
snicide. Tbe coroner has been notified
and an investigation is now in progress.
from the Hawaiian Isles.
San Francisco, May 81 Hawaiian
advices up to May 24 state that tbe situ
ation at Honolulu, is more interesting
than for several months. The whole
town is agog with excitement over late
developments. First came the arrest of
Messrs. Bush and Ken yon, editors of
native papers, on charges of libeling tbe
provisional government and Minister
Stevens, then the publication of Secretary
Gresbam's instructions to Commissioner
Blount, then the news f f Blount's ap
pointment ' as United States minister to
Hawaii, and lastly, tbe attempt of tbe
provisional government to silence Charles
JNordbott, tbe correspondent ot the New
York Herald, and Minister Blount's in
terference in his - behalf. All sorts of
alarming rumors are afloat and eyen Min
later Blount, who all along has predicted
that there will be no trouble, is not now
so confident. On May 15 Commissioner
Blouot gave out for publication his letter
of instructions from Secretary Oresbam.
Among other things it is stated bv Ores
bam that tbe United States will not ac
quiesce in domestic Interference by other
powers. At tho end of tbe instructions,
Mr. Blount added the following post
script: (
"While I shall refrain from interference
between conflicting forces of whatever
nationality for supremacy, I will protect
American citizens not participating m
eucn conflict " ' .
These few lines created great excite-
meit, as they were regarded "by all par
ties as a plain invitation to royalists to
make trouble ' Royalists, however, sav
they are not now prepared to take ad
vantage of Blount's notice, but will await
the decision of tbe United States. If tbe
Islands are annexed they and tbe queen
win submit to tbe inevitable, and become
good Americans. Tbe provisional gov.
ernment claims to be able to bold to
gether for several years until a new ad
ministration, it annexation is refused by
Mr. Cleveland. Blount's appointment as
minister is apparently satisfactory to both
parties here Ex-Minister Stevens has
sailed for the United States.
