THE FUTURE HOPEFUL.
The business depression has contin
ued so long, with so little if any in
provenent, that people are losing cour
age, and despair of anything better
in the future. If the hard times had
been the result of causes that had long
been in operation it might be expected
that business had reached its proper
level, and that it would continue in
this normal condition. Bat such are
not the facts. - When President Har
rison left the White House the country
was in a prosperous condition, wages
. were high, and laborers, had constant
emolovment. - As soon as the Demo
cratio administration was inaugurated
the depression, began, and has con
tinued ever since. 'i Capital became
timorous, and manufacturers stopped
purchasing raw material and in some
instances closed their factories. This
stopped the wheels of progress and
spread distress over the country. Then,
as a natural result, values depreciated
and workmen, rendered desperate by
want and starvation, offered to work
at almost any price. The actuating
causes of this distress may be traced to
the fear of free trade, which hung like
a pall over the nation when the advo
cates of the provisions of .the Chicago
nlatform were eiven the control of
afairs in Washington City. As soon
as this shadow can be removed, the
business of the country will revive,
capital will seek investment, and labor
will again.be employed. ' The depres
sion is only temporary, and will dis
appear as soon as the conditions are
. changed. It cannot be expected that
the recovery will be as speedy as the
decline was sudden. This has not
been true in former epochs when the
same result has been impelled by tariff
agitation. It may take years to re
establish confidence ; but the country
. is young and the resources not nearly
developed. . The United States is no
nearer bankmptcy than it was a few
years ago. Trade and capital are only
temporarily paralysed by reason of an
attempt of a radical change in the
economic policy.
This is especially true of the north
west, which is capable of supporting
ore than doable the population than
. there are now residing in these states.
There has been little, if any, develop
ment of the natural resources, and
these are varied. With the usual
.growth of the country, manufactuies
will be established which will give
employment to many more consumers, I
and there is no better field for the in-
vestment of- capital The present
business stagnation cannot materially
injure the product of our mines, forests
or soiL Wool will bring a low price
in the market until the nation reverts
again to the protection policy; but
from present indications this will hap
pen in two years, and perhaps the
elections next November may so change
the complexion of the lower house of
congress that the passage of any free
trade bill will be impossible.
The people should be hopeful and
courageous, and not despondent. Trade
will again revive and American indus
tries will once more be in operation on
full time. The clouds will pass away,
and the country will again be prosper
ous. This nation has survived after
four years of civil war, has managed
to go forward on the road of prosper
ity with a burden of a three billion
publio debt bearing it down, and it
cannot he wrecked and ruined by four
years of Democratic administration.

.'imminent daneer that exists to the
permanency of free institutions from
ignorant classes. whether thev are com
' prised of natives or foreigners. Mod'
era .civilisation is nearly the same in
all countries, and has the same elevat
- ing effects npon all races, white or col
ored; while ignorance degrades all peo
pie, under whatever system of gov
ernment they may dwell, and ie alike
deplorable in Caucasian, Malay or
. Mongolian. No nation is so far priv

of the community, and imbibing flse
notions in relation to the duties due to

can is no better in this regard than
the Italian, the Hungarian or French
man. . He is not created out of differ
ent material, or by nature gifted with
higher instincts. If devoid of the
refining influences of education and
by this is meant more than a mechan
ical knowledge of college and school
text books be will gravitate to the
lower strata of society the same as the
Pole, the Russian or the Turk. The
faculties of the brain must be distip-
' lined trained to analytical and syn
thetical reasoning, and the finer sym
pathies of the heart brought into acr-
- ive operation to make an Englishman,
an American or a German think intel
" ligently on subjects or to follow the
golden rule in his dealings with his
fellow man. All people are nearly on
n equal, and nativity in any particu
lar country is only a boast with the
narrow-minded and ignorant. The
Hungarians are countrymen of Louis
Kossuth and a long list of noble patri
ots .who sacrificed borne and many
dear associations for the boon of lib
erty, and the Pole are natives 'of the
same country as oooeiakt, jruiuskt and
Koscinski and a noble race of men
who are entitled to the worlds grsti
tud for the sacrifices they made for 1
freedom. Foreigner is a relative term,
and is as applicable to an American in
Africa as to an African in America.
If our Savior, Michael Angelo, Napo
leon, Garibaldi, Milton and Shakes
peare were living they would be for
eigners in this country, while Benedict
ArnolJ, Simon Kenton, Wilkes Booth
and Guiteaa were natives to the soil.
Americans have many things of which
to be proua, and so have Germans,
Frenchmen and Englishmen. They
have many thioes of which to be
ashamed, and so have other nations.
On this side of the Atlantic there
has been an attempt to level all walls
of nobility and privileged classes, and
they have succeeded in many instan
ces; but there will never be perfect
eauahtv while he "to the manner
born" considers himself made of dif
ferent and finer material - than his
neighbor of European' birth. The
grand ideas of Archbishop Ireland of
one American nationality swallowing
up all others in this country will never
be realized while the - term foreigner
is applied to all naturalized citizens as
a term of reproach and ostracism
This forces the German, the Scan
dinavian and the Irish" to baud
themselves more closely together
as a means of self protection, and
also to keep their ovn native
country - more prominent in their
minds. If nativity is to be a work of
distinction in citizenship and society,
then the lines will be drawn closely,
and we can never expect there will be
that harmonious blinding of all na
tianalities under the stars and stripes
thaf. Archbishop Ireland and other pa
triots so earnestly desire.
OREGON DEMOCRACY.
The Democratic party has always
had the reputation of being inconsist
ent, and its national success in 1892
has not changed this trait. When
the government was given into its
hands it bad the executive and both
branches of congress, and could guide
affairs to suit itself. The special ses
sion of congress was called for the re
Deal of the silver purchase clause of
7
the Sherman act, and this caused the
first factional fight. Ever since the
organization has been divided on dif
ferent questions, and "confusion worst
confounded" has existed both in and
out of the national legislature. This
Democratic disaffection baa been par
ticularly marked in Oregon, wbeie such
life-lonsr adherents to "time-honored
principles" as Gov.
Pennover and
Capt. Mofiett, of the Tthqram, have
denounced both the executive and his
Dolicv. The former has cast his lot
wilD the Populists, and the latter re-
mains with the organisation hoping he
may effect a reformation.
With these well-known dissensions
in Democratic ranks the platform
builders at Astoria had a herculean
task to perform; but instead of man
fully meeting the issue and declaring
themselves either in favor of Mr
Cleveland and monometalism, ; ' or
aeainst him and favorable to free
silver, they grasped both born of the
dilemma, and in a (Juixotio man
ner endorsed the president,bimetallism
and unlimited coinage of silver, free
trade and Wilson's sectional protection
bill. In this incomprehensible atti
tude the party has gone before the
people, and will ask citizens at the
ballot-box to support a ticket that is
pledged to everything and to nothing.
Every member of the convention knew
that the plank stating that they had
an implicit-confidence in the integrity,
good faith and patriotism of President
Cleveland was opposed to the one de
manding free coinage, for there is not
a firmer gold-bug in Wall street than
the executive, - But this conglomerate
mixture was swallowed ' at a single
gulp, and pronounced sweet, palatable
and digestible. If some of our well
known humorists had been assigned
the task of drafting a declaration of
political principles they could net
have been more successful in making
it extremely ridiculous.
It was a becoming preamble to such
a ludicrous effort that the Republican
party should be charged with all the
evils now existing, including the low
prices of wheat governed by " the
Liverpool market non-employment
of labor, general depression in busi
ness and stagnation the results of
Democratic taritt tinkering in con
gress. But this must be viewed in the
same light with other portions of the
platform and ..will have . the same
weight with intelligent voters. - On
the question of the. wide-spread de
pression in business the Republicans
have facts and " figures to prove their
assertions, and are not forced to make
unsupported statements.
- In keeping with the insincerity of
other provisions is one in favor of the
speedy opening of the Columbia river.
The fact is, for many years past,
Democratic house has defeated senate
bills which had this object in view.and
our delegation has bee a forced to fight
Democracy step by step in the appro
priations that have been secured for
this great, natural highway of com
merce.
Democracy is. "at sea" on national
questions, and it is drifting it knows
not where, with no competent pilot at
the helm.
The Pollard-Brevkinridge case end
ed in Washington City Saturday by
the jury bringing in a verdict of $15,
000 for the plaintiff, and they will be
endorsed by the people in their de
cision. If the exhibition of social
filth that the trial has displayed to the
reading publio baa the effect to elevate
Amencan manhood and womanhood
it will have accomplished a good re
sult ; but if it enda with simply satis-'
.fying .a. depraved , taste for scandal,
which is too prevalent in .every com
munity, it will have been more harm
ful than beneficial. The publio have
read the filthy details, and it will be
seen whether , they will profit by the
lesson taught. , - . 1
DEMOCRATIC DISCOMFITURE.
The Democrats did well at Astoria
in nominating the ticket they did; but
not one of the candidates will be
elected, and it is reasonable to suppose
that they consider themselves sacri
fices on the altar of their party. This
is not a Democratic year, and there is
no hope of success for that organisa
tion in Oregon. The Republican can
didates for ttate, district and county
ofices are excellent men, and would
have carried the full strength of 'the
party if stmply their qualifications
are to be considered; but when,
1Q conjunction wuu mis. uio
of the country receives car ful thought,
no hope can be entertained of Democ-
r.n oWfincr a fiinirla man On ItS
ticket. Aside from these obstacles to
success the Democratic party is bop
lessly divided into numerous factions.
There are absolute free traders, Cleve
land cold bugs, Bland free silver men,
and Hill nrotectionisU in the ranks
and these can never be made to assim
Ore
ilate. This is especially true in
uon. The platform was expected to
endorse the present administration
and the Chicago provisionals all Dem
ocratic platforms have this year; bnt
this has little significance when it is
known that some of the leading mem
bers of the convention have o
nearly every act of Mr. Cleveland
since he was inaugurated. It is hard
to determine who are Democrats and
what is Democracy at the present day;
but one fact is well known and that is,
there ara few Cleveland Democrats in
this portion of the country tliis year.
If the other conditions were favorable
to Detnocracry, these dissensions would
cause defeat. Oregon has been Repub
lican for a number of years, and in
1894, after the depressions felt in all
departments of business following the
inauguration of the Democratic preai
dent and the factional contests in the
unlra rf thas onoms I h V infm V tlllfl

the van of thv Republican column,
and next June she must show herself
worthy of the position.
EDITORIAL NOTES.
The courts have come to the assist
anoe of the Great Northern, and an
injunction has been issued against the
strikers. lne men must keep within
the law, not destroy property, and they
will be protected,
The bounty paid on sugar the pres
ent fiscal year in $10,000,000, all but
a half million goes to Louisiana. No
wonder that southern state sees free
trade with a long telescope. Louisiana
sugar has no woo! in it
The farmers in the Willamette val
ley, on account of the low price of
wheat, will plant more bops this year.
This is a wise movement, and if the
Eastern Oregon agriculturists would
diversify their crops farming would be
much, more profitable,
Mr. A. A. Jayne, the Republican
nominee for prosecuting attorney, is a
well known lawyer of Arlington, and
is in every way qualified for the .posi
tioo. He will very likely receive the
full party vote in June and be the dis
trict attorney after July,
In the death of Gen. Henry Slocum
in New York yesterday morning, an
other noted actor in the civil war has
passed to the silent majority. He took
an important part in many of the
great battles of thq war, and has been
a member of congress at two dinerent
sessions since the close of the rebellion.
The legislative ticket, in this and
Sherman counties, should receive the
united support of all Republican dur
ing the coming canvass. A successor
to Senator Dolph will be elected by
the next legislature, and as it is ad
visable that that gentleman should be
bis own successor, it is very important
that Republicans should have a major-
in that body.
The strike on the Great Northern is
spreading, and today it extends oyer
several thousand mile . This will do
great damage to the business interests
of the cou -try, and entail great suffer
ing to those engaged m it. But the
men who were employed by the com
pany had as much right to refuse to
work under the schrdule of reduced
prices, as the directors had to ni-tke
the reduction.
The last' heard from Coxey'a army
they were marching through ten inches
ot snow iu the mountains of Pennsyl
vania, en route to Washington. This
unquestionably the hardest v work
the members of the battalion' have
done for years, and, after toiling over
wintry roads in April tbey are follow
ing the scriptural injunction of "earn
ing their bread by tbe sweat of their
brows.',-.
Four millions of gold has been
shipped during the week, and this
amount, except $750,000, baa been ex-
portea irom jxew xork. It is very
evident that the balance of trade is
against us during the present Demo
cratic administration: but when Re
publicans were in charge of national
affairs, tbe balance waa in our favor,
and gold flowed in instead of out of
New York.
Some of our Democratic exchanges
are advocatiug the adoption of tbe in
itiative and referendum in tneir state
platform. ' This will he one step to
wards fusion with tbe Populists, which
would give Democracy a better bhow
of success than if they go before tbe
people only on their own merits or de
merits. Tbe Republicans are numer
ous enough id Oregon to elect their
candidates in June whether they meet
their opponents separately or com
bined.
And now comes a strike on tbe
Great Northern, which was inaugurated
yesterday at noon. If it continues
great damage will reeult to the com
pany, and the business points to which
it is the means of transportation.
Corporations have the right to regulate
the wages of their employes, and, on
the other hand, laborers have the right
to refuse to work if they deem the
pay insufficient, x wo wrongs never
make a right; but two rights, coming I
in' collision, frequently produce great
injustice and wrong.
Tbe debate on the tariff bSl in the
senate brings its - provisions -out in
their true light. It eannot.be sup
ported as a free-trade measure, and
therefore is not favored by that por
tion of the democratic party. On
the other hand, it is not suitable to
protectionists, and receives no support
from them Of all the tariff meas
ures originated by Democracy the
Wilson bill appears the most unsatis
factory, and if passed at all it must be
under the crack of Cleveland's whip
and other autocrats of the Democratic
party.
The Populists placed in nomination
a full county and representative ticket

The Republican party was never in

Mr. T. B. Reed, ex speaker of the
lower house of congress, has won a
victory in the fact that the Democrats
have been forced to adopt the rule be
followed of cenntiner the members

' It is time fer the press of Eastern
Oregon to begin agitating the portage
railroad around the obstructions in the
river above this point. This improve-
ment should be made b the state of
Oregon, and an appropriation should
be voted for the purpose by the next
legislature. Every candidate for the
honor of representing the different
counties in Salem next January, on
tne dinerent tickets, should be un
equivocally pledged in this regard be-
fere he should be supported by the
friends of an ODen river at the ballot
box. A river flowing uu vexed to tba
sea means freedom to producers and
commercial life and prosperity for the
northwest, and the development will
never properly begin until craft, laden
with produce, can carry. their burdens
from Kettle falls in Washington, to
he ocean without breaking cargo.
The .Nicaragua canal has many
friends in both houses of congress, and
the indications are encouraging that a
bill will be passed during the present
session giving substantial aid to this
greatproject. This portion of the
United States is particularly inter
ested in the canal, as it will be a
I cheap and available means of
transporting tbe rich products of tbe
coast to market. The delegation from
tbe Pacific states are particularly
friendly to the scheme for this reason,
and Senator Morgan, of Alabama, has
able coadjutors in his views in Sena
tors Dolph and Mitchell and Repre
sentatives Hermann and Ellis of Ore
gon. If tbe measure reaches a vote it
may be expected that the Pacific coast
will stand united in favor of appropri
ating a liberal sum for this improve
ment; but tan H legislation may occupy
the time of the senate and bouse, and
other matters be laid over for future
action.

Coxry la the Men ate.
Washington, April 19 Senator Peffer
stirred up quite a hornets' neat by call
ing u, the reso'u'ioo for tbe appoint
ment ol a committee on communications
to receive the petitions of Coxej's army.
Be explained that the o' joct of the reso
lution wa, to begin preparations tor a
proper rrcptiou of the body of men and
to give thi-m every facility to prestnt
their grievance to congress. Tbe senate
waa icgar-ied by many as tbe American
house of lords, and tbey would have an
opportoui'y to show it waa not out of
t och with the penple by appointing a
committee. The country, be said, was
on ilie verge i-f trouble, and unless we
arc wise and maoxged affairs with dis
cretion we would regret it in the near
future. The times are ripe for such a
movement, but this is a peaceful one by
men coming here to lay their grievance
belore congress. Mr. Peffer was followed
by Senator Alleo, populist, of Ne hi ask a,
who, while not entirely approving Coiey'a
action, asserted the perlect right of Coxey
and bis followers to come to Washington
if they chose; not enly thai, but they
had a right to come into tbe capital and
occupy the galleries of the senate, and it
would be unwise on the put of the sen
ate to refuse tbe privilege. Tbey had
also the right to be heard, and bo man,
whether senator or citizen, bad the right
to deny that right. He bitterly de
nounced tbe report that General Ordway.
ot tbe National Guanl'of tbe District ot
Columbia, was preparing to mobilize tbe
militia at the confines of the District ot
Columbia. "This man is coming hue
with a perfect right," continued Mr. A'-.
len, "witn rigots wblcn are constitution
ally as sacred as those of any otber man,
woman or child, and vet we witness the
spectacle ot tnis city oeing tnrowo into a
convulsion over tbe expectation of re
ceiving peace! a body of men coming into
the city."

St. Paul, April 19 Tbe Great North
ern employes at 'Minneapolis were or
dered out by telegraph at midnight, aod
tbe night switch crews left work. Tbe
strikers assembled in their hall and dis
cussed tbe situation. Tbey didn't relish
the idea of going ont before they thor
oughly understood tbe situation. After
listening te tbe decision of the Minneap
olis employes, Mr. Debs declared the
stnke off for tbe preseot pending the re
sult of the mass meeting to be held at
Minneapolis teday. This meeting Is new
in session. - -
Tbe deputy marshals scat eut to serve

without interference. It is the plan of I
tbe company to work on tbe Minnesota
divisions first, aod after getting tbem in
perfect order to proceed west, a division
at a time. The injunction will not be
served in Montana at present. Tbe

Barnesville left about two hours late.
The first move toward a settlement tt

Davis and Vice President Howard seek
