COXSTISM AT TBE CAPITOL.
The Inter Ocean has the following
very sensible remarks on this question
The original purpose of Coxey and
his following to march to the steps, of
the capitoI, and there in a somewhat
' flamboyant way make his demands of
congress, has not been carried outdoor
is it likely to be; bat all the barriers
of parliamentary law coo Id not keep
Ooxey from entering the capilol, both
wings. The press has been censured
foi giving so muoh prominence to the
matter, but even a censorship of the
press, however rigid, could not bar oat
this latest pnblio phenomenon.
Both . political parties were repre
seated in the fatile attempt to keep
this ism oat of the senate. The reso
lution of inquiry was introduced and
advocated by Senator Alien, of Ne
braska; bat even this member of the
Populist triangle disclaimed ' sympathy
with the movement He said he did
not want non-interest beariBg bonds
issued and" the proceeds devoted to
' hiring men to work on the roads, but
he did insist upon giving the common-
wealers a chance to be heard. He
sustained and urged the right of peti
tion. Senator Daniel, of Virginia,
thought Mr. Ooxey should go to the
coarts for remedy.
It is idle to pooh-pooh or ignore
want is suing on under the title of
the Ooxey movement Jaoob .Ooxey,
whatever his motive, has come to rep
resent and stand for the unrest and
idleness of the day. Not that the
unemployed adopt his peculiar theo
ries, bat in its central feature of pro
test against the existing condition of
vote for the Republican ticket, and
thin state was not one of those that was
anxious for a change of economic pol
icy. It cannot be truthfully said that
the Democratic administration has
made matters more hopeful for any
portion of the country, or that it has
done anything to merit increased con
fidence. This year, when a blight has
fallen upon our manufacturing indus
tries, when millions are out of employ
ment and there is an anxiety in all
classes to know where and when the
present distress will end, is the time
for Republicans to stand solid in favor
of those principles under which th
country enjoyed such unexampled
prosperity. This political party has
advanced beyond the stage of theories,
and has practically demonstrated their
policies by thirty years of successful
experiment Daring the last eighteen
months the attempt, to inaugurate a
different regime has been most disas
trous to the industrial prosperity of
the nation, and next November will
witness the most emphatic demand
from the voters for a return to the old
policy. ''The Populists offer nothing
but speculative notions, and which
have always produced disastrous re
sults wherever tried. At each a period
in our history as the present there is
no time for experiments. ,Wi have
approached too close to the abyss to
proceed farther in the direction of
danger. The steps must be retraced,
and the solid, unyielding position of
the old party resumed. Oregon should
sound the first note in June, and the
tune will swell into a national chorus
in November.
TEE BBAL ISSUE.
FARMS AND FARMERS.
Democratic orators have for some
time past attempted to arraign the
farmers of the west and south against
the protection policy, because, as they
claimed, they are taxed for the benefit
of the manufacturers of the east. Tnej
never mention the fact that high
duties are imposed on agricultural
produots from Canada, and these form
important items in the markets of the
United States. But Mr. Edward At
kinson, the Democratic free trader, in
the May Forum, publishes some statis
tics regarding the farms of this coun
try, which is edifying reading matter
to those who imagine the farmers are
the most oppressed class in the nation,
His facts and figures are drawn mainly
from the census of 1890, but he veri
fied the census figures by a private in
vestigation of his owd continued over
five years and by consulting the reports
of labor bureaus in many states. The
basis of Mr. Atkinson's conclusions is
the census bulletin giving the mort
gage indebtedness for the decade from
1880 to 1889, inclusive, in thirty-
three states and territories. It appears
that in these states and territories on
January 1. 1890, only 34.17 percent
of the real estate mortgages outstand
ing, or a little more than one-third,
were on acres, and even of these a
good but unascertained percentage was
on lots just outside of towns and cities
that were held for improvement. Of
this money raised by mortgaging the
farm, 77.38 per cent wss borrowed for
the purchase or improvement of the
land and more than 8 per cent more
for the purchase of durable personal
property, and that only 2.82 per cent
was borrowed to meet farm or family
expenses. Another significant fact
brought out by Mr. Atkison is that in
twenty-two states in which the statis
tics of farms and homes have been
cooipletely analyzed only 32.09 per

and that 68 per cent were absolutely
free of debt.
Another gratifying fact made clear
is that there is no basis for the fear
that the system of tenant farming is
gaining a foothold in this country. 'In
twenty-two states, mostly the older
ones, and where the tenant system
would be most likely to show itself,
32 20 per cent are hired and 67.70 per
cent are occupied by the owners A
large percentage of the hired farms are
occupied by the sons of the owners or
by former employes where the growth
for over thirty years, snd this fact
should -be more convincing than the
money-making notions of Populists.
It would be wise for the Populist to
stop and ask himself tho question: "If
free coinage were in operation what
have I te give in exchange for money?"
The government will not distribute
its coin through the community with
out receiving an equivalent in labor
or something produced by labor. There
is an abundance of money in the
country now if capitalists had suffi
cient confidence in the government to
invest it in industries. The people
are discouraged and are becoming
hopeless of any betterment in their
condition. Let congress re-affirm its
faith in the doctrine of protection, and
money will come from its hiding
places and will be sent into circulation
in all communities.
This note of warning from the Ai
torivn should be heeded by every Re
publican in the state: "It is, of
course, highly improbable that any in
telligent Democrat elected to the leg
islature would be so false to the inter
ests of the state, or so indifferent to
the sentiment of the best element in
his party, as to lend his countenance
or give his vote to the election of a
Populist to the United States senate.
The people should bear in mind, how
ever, that Democrats have violated
just pucb trusts before, and the risks
now involved are too great to justify
any risks of that kind. The only safe
course is to paraphrase a famous order
of the immortal Washington at a cer
tain crisis in continental affairs, put
none but Republicans on guard.
There appears to he a diversity of
opinions entertained by Republican
senators regarding their duty in refer
ence to the Wilson bill It is con
tended by some that tbeir duty to
their party and their constituents will
impel them to vote against the meas
ure, and by every possible means
obstruct its passage. Others believe
it to be the wiser course to join with
the Democratic minority, and by
amending it in several particulars, to
rid the measure of many of its objec
tionable featurea Those favorable to
this pi in claim that they can save the
country from some of the necessary
evils which will follow the enactment
of the law, and they will not be forced
to bear the opprobrium of delaying
legislation. The bill, as it now stands,
has many elements of protection in it,
and ianfar different from the one bear
ing the same name that passed the
bousa - If the protectionists of the
senate are successful in incorporating
into it some of the 400 amendments
whioh are now pending its passage
may not create as muoh mischief as
was expected.

There is quite a sensation in Wash-
of population has warranted the cut-1 mgton (jity caused by charges being

small ones. So instead of indicating
the growth of a tenant system it shows
better and more intelligent methods of
agriculture, larger and more varied

attempted in connection with the tariff
bill. To thoroughly investigate the
matter Mr. Lodge, of Massachusetts,
has introduced a resolution that a
to make the investigation. ? Every
body knows that the bottom fact in
explanation is tariff tinkering by a
free-trade Congress, but the moie
agitation and investigation there is the
clearer will this bottom fact appear,
and deeper will be -the final grave of
the arch enemy of American industry.
PERSONAL JOURNALISM .
. The province of a newspaper in the
- preliminary examination of any one
for a crime is simply to publish the
news, without prejudging the case' in
any regard and thus manufacturing
testimony for or against the defendant
In the judicial system of the United
' States prelimintry examinations are
not trials in any sense of the word,
and are simply for the purpose of
caring the attendance of the person
accused of a crime before a petit jury
if a grand jury finds a true hill against
him. The magistrate exercises' the
; functions of his office when he passes
. on the evidence before him,' and either
discharges the prisoner or holds him
is saffioient bail to inaare his appear
ance before the circuit court. Any
thing more than this transcends the
sphere of journalism, aad, in 'many
instances, does great injustice in creat
ing public opinion and hampering
coarts in impanelling juries. - It may
nottmoant to "contempt of court"
although less offenses have been so de
cided; but the liability of the pub-
ous measures." . .
Democrats dare not go before the
public on the issues involved in the
coming June election in Oregon and
whioh will also be the leading ones in
the states that hold-elections in Novem
ber next The Cleveland ad ministra
tion has been in power since March 4,
1893, and during the; present session
both houses: of congress have -been
Democratic; Per,- the first " time in
more than thirty years, Democracy has
been at the helm of the nation, and the
people, in their sovereign capacity, are
called upon to decide whether the
manner in which national affairs are
being administered is satisfactory to
them. On the result of the vote in
June will depend the election of U. S.
and in such critical times
cannot afford to
experiment with any new man, or one
of . either' Democratic, Populist or
doubtful ; politics. Senator Dolph
should succeed- himself, and Republi
cans should not be lulled into apathy
regarding the best interests of the
country to make a change in tbm re
fird possible. Every Republican
should vote his politics as a duty to
his party and to the welfare of the
nation. If the result in June should
show that Democrats were successful
in securing the election of any candi
date on their ticket they would claim
it as a victory for free trade and the
Wilson bill, and to divert the atten
tion of citizens from the main, question

land. It is encouraging to know alao
that the farm mortgages are owned so
largely in the states in which they are
made. "In 102 typical counties selec
ted from all portions of the country for
the purpose of a special investigation
by the census authorities, it was dis
closed that 68.69 per cent of the
mortgages incurred . were held by
citizens of the same states in which
the mortgaged Jreal estate is"
The leading fact developed by this
investigation, Mr. Atkinson says is:
"There are within the United States
4,564,641 separate farms, averaging
about 137 acres each, of which in the
eastern, western and Pacific states 30
per cent are occupied and managed by
their owners. Far more than,' one-
half these farms are free of any mort
gage whatever; the rest are mortgaged
for far less than half their value." liis
other conclusions are: "That the
larger part of the western farms cul
tivated by owners are free of any
mortgage whatever; that the western
farmers are creditors instead of debt
ors; that the burden of farm mort
gages is a very light one."
From these' facts and figures it will
be seen that farmers are one of our
most prospererts''cla'8eB, and that they
are in a far better condition and are
less incumbered by. debts and mort
gages than mechanics and the owners
of city lots
these will be empowered to examine
witnesses and ascertain whether there
is any truth in the allegations. Those
whose names have been mentioned as
having been approached denounce
the statement as false, and it
is to be hoped that there is no
truth in the charges. There may
be pecuniary interests at stake in the
passage or defeat of the Wilson bill
that in a business way would warrant
the investment of roonev: but the
purity of our institutions demand that
those who make laws for the people
shall be above reproach, and dishonesty
in this regard should be considered a
crime of the gravest nature. For a
senator to sell his vote on any question
sheuld receive the severest condemna
tion, and he who is found guilty should
b" forever deprived of the privileges of
the elective franchise.

The Democratic press are constantly
attempting to excuse the very low
price of wool since 1893 by the face
that its production has largely in
creased in all nations of the world,
and that its price has been constantly
declining for more than ten years
past. While a portion of this is true,
the conclusion drawn is very errone
ous. In the United States the in
crease of fleece has been larger 'than in
any other couutry.and the indisputable
fact remains that the decline in prices
has been less. But during the past
year wool has been lowered ia price
from 30 to 40 per cent, and this while
it bas exhibited a buoyanoy in other
markets. This cannot be due to over
production, and can only be accounted
for by the fear and trepdation felt by
manufacturers. Our dealers in wool
have followed a well known rule of
business in being wary
and horses. Education may do much
to check evil tendencies or develop
good ones; but it is a great thing to in
herit the right proportion of faculties
to start with. The man is rich wbo
hss a goo j disposition wbo is natur
ally kind, patient, cheerful, hopeful,
aod who has a flavor of wit and fun in
