The Times-Mountaineer SATURDAY. AUUUST 11, 1894 PLUCK AND ENERGY. If there ever was a time when active energy and enterprise would result in commercial benefit to a city that era is lha present one in the history of The Dalles. During the recent flood, when the interior was debarred from communication with the outside world, the Columbia river famished this point a means of daily intercourse. The advantages of our situation were apparent to all, and these will induce factories to locate here .if the proper spirit is manifested by our citizens. Notwithstanding the business stag nation which is general all over the country E is tern Oregon has had estab lished during the present season wool scouring .mills which have placed the product in a' better shape for market, and have also had the effect to in crease the amount of money realized on sales. - The Dalles should imme diately put two or wore in operation, " so that they would be ready for the nnxjt clip. Bv means of the river this city baa a cheap route to seaboard, and in a few. years it will be an ocean competitive point, so as to enjoy the cheapest rates for transportation east If the citizens remain in the same apathetic attitude they have for years Pendleton will surpass this point as a wool snipping center, ana ,ine caues win receive no oenent irom us lent natural location, -tvcwou in iuih regard should not be delayed any longer, for in a little while it will be impossible to recover lost ground. The distillery, which was located at Graut before the flood, is now looking for a new location. Mr. Walker, one of the proprietors, will visit Pendle ton in a few days to ascertain what that city will offer for the establish ment. This would be a great factor of .development for The Dalles, and our business men. can well afford to bid high to secure 'the prize. Delay in this matter will also be fatal, for within the next few days definite ar rangements will be made, It is very likely the shops will again be. established here, and that there will be about three hm.dred men con stantly employed, and the pay roll of . these will be a source of revenue that will be verv stimulating to business. If the scouring mills and the distillery were to preceed this industry, the fu ture of the city would be well assured. But action must be taken now, if there is any intention or desire to procure these factors in this community. Tbe incorporation of the cannery . comsanv was a wise movement, but enterprise should not stop here. Every thing is opportune at the present time, and pluck and energy should be dis- . played to take advantage of tbe situa tion. CONSTITUTIONAL RIGHTS. A cotemporary ia somewhat sur prised that the Times Mountaineer, a Republican newspaper, should sym pathize with organized labor, and in timates that sympathy with laborers is akin to anarchy. We pity the poor deluded brother, and advise him to ' study politics for a while from the primer up. The Republican party was organized on the broad principle of equal rights to all cUsses and con ditions of citizens, and tbe poor man, from the bonded slave of the south to the employe in tbe faotorjea in tbe " north, never had a firmer or truer friend than Abraham Lincoln, the first Republican president The Times Mountaineer has defended those engaged in tbe recent strike as far as the constitution of the country granted them rights, which should be as sacred in any court as those of the " capitalists or . managers of railroad corporations. w nen violence waa enacted in Chicago or elsewhere this paper fully endorsed tbe use of tbe military to restore law and order; but - considered it advisable that the state should have exhausted its powers be fore the general government should be called upon. And this was not be cause of any predilection of the edi tor towards the doctrine of state's rights which he never endorsed; but, for the reason that he believes self- government iu a free country should begin with the municipality, and each political division should regulate its own local affairs as nearly as possible. This is not anarchy or treason; but simply the true significance of free in stitutions. - " : TOO MANY POWERS. , No worse policy can be imagined .than the commingling of the legisla tive with the executive power, says tbe Salem Statesman. " To give to a legislature the appointing power in any case is bed enough, but to authorize it to druaie offices or places of any kind is a complete surrender to . the one branch of government of the high est powers of another branch. Worse still, it invites the legislature to create useless places for the mere purpose of tiling them. In other words, ft is an open door to all manner of corruption Indeed, it ia plainly unconstitutional, because that supreme law, the consti- tution, expressly divides the power, of goverooieni Between me toree great branches, legislative, executive and judicial, and in no case contemplates any confusion in their r xercise, we believe, save in the one case of im- peachments triable by the legislature, We all know there is too much time wasted over foolish or vicious or need- j less bills during our legislative sessions and too little time given to important and needed bills. The legislature bas ' quite enough to do ia attending to its own business. Ibere are too many lobbyists, each having an axe to grind, in securing bills or clauses in bilk. Grant to tbe legislature the appointing power and more and more lobbyists will flock like obscene birds to a filthy feast. We want none of it,' and trust the governor will veto every such j enactment, if for no other reason, be cause of its at least doubtful constitu tionality. DESIRES CONSIDERATION. The success of the state portage roa i around the Cascades makes it evident that the same improvement could be inaugurated around the ob structions between this city and Celilo, and the nest Cregon legislature should pass an appropriation for that pur pose. Times-Mountaineer. Then the state should clean out and dredge the Willamette river, the artery of commerce for this great and populous valley. She has spent a sum up to wards $100,000 for this Eastern Ore gon artery, and not one cent yet upon the Willamette river. The fact is, ho ever, that the general government should pay for all these improvements. The state should not be required to bear their expense. Salem Statesman. Our cotemporary must not forget that at every session ot tne legislature there are large and liberal appropria tions for Western Oregon in the sup- port of the public institutions, while I gp payments, but not gold in dis the country east of the Cascades re- j;iDOtion from silver. All our fiscal ceives nothing in this line. The $G0, 000 for the portage road at the tas- cades was the only time in the his - tory of Oregon that a public improve ment in Eastern Oregon received a dollar from the state treasury. Aside hom thg feuUieatMXjt in8ane MylUm, i pUo, oaiIdingt refor(n school, state nin versify, etc.. a 1 OI wbicn receive ... , legislature, the Qtegn 0Uy were con(,truoled by the state and all money U spent for the benefit ot Western uregon. PURE PROTECTION. Tbe Republican senators will vote solidly for free sugar. This is consist ent with tbe McKinley law, provided there is a bounty attachment. But it is not so much to maintain their con sistency as it is to put the Democrats in a hole that the Republicans are now clamorous for free sugar. If the Republicans were now in a majority. and bad the responsibility of raising revenues they might see it in another light Sugar ia a mighty good reve nue raiser, and a stiff dot, on sugar will fill up a treasury when other things fail But the Republicans are not responsible for raising the reve nues, and this is not their funeral, anyway. Portland Telegram The Republican party has never advocated I m tariff on any article that could not I be raised in the conn try, and not nearly I enough sugar is manufactured in tbe country for local consumption. For this reason the McKinley bill provided a bounty on tbe growth of beets and their manufacture into sugar, thus at tempting to build up an industry without imposing a" tax on the con sumer. The toasis principle of protec tion is the development of the re sources of a country by building up lccal industries; but in every instance where' this cannot be done it does not believe in imposing atax for the ben- J 6t of a few, and which would oper- t s a burden upon the many. TOO ORTHODOX. An orthodox cotemporary attempts to prove a belief in God and a future state of existence necessary to good citizenship, and classes Debs, Sover eign, Most and others as infidels. It ill not do to carry this ideaof deistical I and theistical patriotism toe far, for there has not been a despot in Europe, from William tbe Conqueror to Charles II., from Ivan the terrible of Russia to Nicholas, and the Louises of France, but wbo has held close with his tyran- nical sceptre a copy of the canonical scriptures. In tbe name of God and Holy Church men havejeen crucified, buried while yet living, burned to tbe stake, starved to death in dungeons, torn limb from limb,' drowned., in boiling oil, and 'made to Buffer the most excruciating torments. - Religion has ' been the solid foundation upon which tyranny has rested for more than two thousand years, and in every instance reformers, from Socrates to Christy and from Luther to Cromwell, have torn down the established relig ious superstitions of the subservient people. Oppression - and persecution have always lieen upheld by the church, while freedom and advance ment have been the doctrine of those opposed to creed and dogma. It ia a notable fact that in every age of tbe world the hatred of the Christian has been more diabolical than tbe revenge of the savage. Tbe following from the Salem Statesman . is bj-imful of good sense: 'Oregon's legislature already elects too many commissioners that should be chosen by direct vote of the people. All will remember what a' log-roller the last session was. More time was devoted to the election of a railroad commission than was given to any other single measure and there is no doubt but this contention influenced many votes oo several bills. Instead of increasing the powers and log-roll- ing capacity of the Oregon legislature, let us this winter place the power once more ,n the hands of the people, wh.re ,t rightfully belongs. While we are on the subject it may be well to re- mArk that United States senators also should be elected by direct vote of the I people." The United States have no interest whatever in the war now raging be- tween China and Japan. Let diplo ncy confined to European minis ters, who watch with eager eyes every movement made on the political chess board. But there should be war ships I in the vicinity of the belligerents so that American citizens should receive the -aiue protection from their flag that is accorded the subjeets of the monarchies of the old world. FINANCIAL CREDIT. The leading financial journal of London, and, for that matter, of the world, the Statist, has an important article in its issue of Saturday on this country, from the standpoint of. the British investor. It maintains that the withdrawal or withholdirg of cap ital from tbe'UniLed States is no lon ger necessary to meet the demands of the domestic or Australiau situation, but that there is uo little distrust of our currency policy and the unsatis factory state of the tariff, especially the former It appears from the detailed discus sion of the subject that a specific cause of apprehension is the shrinkage in our gold reserves, leading to the apprehen sion that gold will go to a premium. The tariff question figures in this cal culation only so far as it bears upon the unfavorable balance of trade, which is rendering gold exportation inevitable. In speaking of this the Chicago In- ttr Ocean, which leans towards bi metallism, says: "The treasury cf the United States is bound by the terms of national legislation to maintain j jaW8 88SUnje that the two metals will I maintained at a parity and be in- 1 rerconvemble. They also expressly vest in the government authority to use either coin in the redemption of paper money. - As a matter of fact, the government has always waived that option in favor of the payee, re I -a.: I.A nntinn fnr nu nnlv in an sai . ti.- !UUl. wa8jn who or fa t there wa8 n0 apprehen8ion ex pressed, at home or abroad, that gold u . ,m;m nnr Hrx.. th WUIIIU 6 as vuimw) hw www reduction of tbe reserves justify such apprehension. If the treasury were 0 men are re8pected even fcy roon empty today it could be filled tomor I archa. Treat tbe poorer classes like row, There iaolentv of cold in the country. It is being mined faster than it is being exported. Our banks have more than they can use, except as it is held for reserves. They take it over the counter with reluctance. They know very well that they will sooner or later suffer some loss on their gold unless there should be a premium on it 'The counter gold is more or less abraded, and when it comes to be tested by the treasury de partment it will be "weighed in the balance and found wanting." In tbe ordinary uses of exchange gold ia al most as little used now as it was dur ing the period of specie suspension. If the administration would only rise to the requirements of the situa tion it' would allay apprehension. It will be remembered that during tbe last winter of the Harrison adminis tration there was some talk of issuing government bonds to replenish the gold supply, and that tbe President let it be distinctly understood that no bonds for that purpose would be issued unless actually needed, but that he should do whatever was necessary to meet all demands for gold. That put at rest all agitation on this subject during the remainder of bis term. Pres ident Cleveland could and should do tbe same, but he is not likely to. EDITORIAL NOTES. The bouse says senators ought to be elected by the people; the senate says nothing. It is curious that every time a pro fessional office-seeker is turned down he should feel specially called upon to lead a new party of reformers. The man who makes a practice of changing his political principles may be honest, but he cannot blame people for 4eing a little distrustful of him. Tbe silver men have called a nation ' conference t meet in Washington! August id. jar. vieveianu win proo wi ably not send a letter to the conference. The places where socialism is report- I ed to be a success are always a long ways off, and the nearer the impartial investigator gets to them tbe less ap parent is thesuocess. ' If, as the adage says, "an idle brain is the devil's own work-shop," the de vil must have an overstock of work shops in the misnamed "industrial armies now in the vicinity of Wash ington. The Mongolians have had two or three fights; but their blood is not quite at the proper heat for bloody warfare. It will be in a short time, and then Chinese and Japanese will be slaughtered in quantities that would suit any civilized country. Same Republican papers are still talking of tbe good times that pre vailed in tbe country before the Demo cratic change in 1892. This should be stopped, as it is unpleasant and disa greeable to Democracy, and can be proved by facts cognizant to the peb- pie. The sugar investigating committee of the United States started in to find out nothing and succeeded and is pat ting itself on the back. It has a farce from its opening session until the close. The servants who sent senatorial dis patches and newspaper reporters were the only criminals found. The majority in congress want a short campaign. They are in no hurry to explain conditions to the people. It may also be said that the people know and require no explanation. The onslaught upon the wage-earners of -"es rllTd-trrfe- merce by unwise attempted legislation have ben too marked to deceive any intelligent observer of passing events. The fall elections are rapidly ap- proacbtng, and the manner in which the Democrats bave manipulated the tariff bill do not enhance their chances for success. ; The November gales will undoubtedly be disastrous to the party of tariff reform, and it will be forced to adopt another issue before the cam- paign of 1896. Uregon sooke in J one, and the fall elections will only be con tinuations of Republican victories. Some of the worst enemies the workingmen have in this country are those who uphold the mistakes made and the crimes committed, during tbe recent Pullman strike, with the hopes j of building up notoriety and political influence by so doing. The true friend of the workingman upeaks for his in terests even if it is against the action the workmen may be taking at the time. Strikes, like the last one, have invariably injured the workingman more than anybody else in the long run ,and should be discountenanced on that ground. It is very evident that organized labor will make its next contest at the ballot box.and in this it will undoubt edly be successful Wage-earners will outnumber railway managers, and they can make the political complexion of state legislatures what they desire. This will be the next arena where the contest between labor and capital will strive for supremacy, and the result cannot be long in doubt If capital is beaten in elections it will try the power of money on legislators, and this does not augur well for purity in politics. The senate conferrees have not ar rived at any agreement regarding the Wilson bill, and it is yet uncertain whether an agreement will he reached 0ont,re88 mj coatinne ln session for several weeks yet, if the tariff-tinkers do not finish their work. It must be a great hardship on tbe members to be confined to Washington when the woods of Maine are full of game, and there ia good fishing in the bays along the Atlantio roast. The president, in his delicate state, must be very weary of protracted legislation when the hunt is so exhilarating to him. What great sacrifices are made for the good of one's country. The governments of Europe are taking steps to eradicate anarchy, and no doubt very repressive measures will be passed. This political cncer may be kept in a quiet state for a time; but when the system is permeated by the virus' it is difficult to replace tbe circulation with healthful flood. Long centuries of oppression and outrages have rendered men vicious and fiend- isb, and there will be no permanent remedy nntil the riebts of all classes brutes, and they become brutes: treat them like men and they are manly. We have no apology for anarchy; but it wi'.l exist while the present unequal conditions remain, especially in mon archical countries. Gold in Bolivia ia worth 249 cents, and this is a country from which ail verttes should draw a lesson. Tbe laborer works for less per diem than in any country in South America, and bis hard earned coin will purchase less of the comforts or luxuries of life Thus, while the silver dollar may ap pear larger, and the toiler may receive more or them tor a days laoor than in any other country on tbe western hemisphere, they will purchase less than any where else. If Bolivia had tbedouble standard, a dollar there would be a dollar in Canada or tbe United States, and its . purchasing power would be as great as it is any where. It is well for laborers to con sider that the money received must be gauged by what it will buy in the market. A South American dollar is not worth nearly as much as one from the United states, which bas one hundred cents behind it and may be redeemed in coin if desired. 1 1 is not the "mount of money one possesses that makes him wealthy, but the num ber of comforts that tbe coin will buy in the market. .
