TIIK HUNT JtOAH.
As noted in our ishiio of last week,
Manngcr Hunt explains the reason of
his delay in attending to the matter
of the Grande Hondo extension and
expresses his desire to build it, pro
vided the time is extended in which lie
can reasonably do so.
The explanation of Mr. Hunt ap
pears to us satisfactory and his propo
sition fair, as it would bo unreasonable
to expect him to complete the road by
the time first specified. By his propo
sition the completion of the road will
be delayed one season, but so will the
payment of the subsidies. To recom
pense us for the loss of time he agrees
to commence work at this end of the
road, which is certainly a very great
concession. Should his proposition be
ncceptqd, all next summer hundreds of
his men will bo at work along the line
in this valley, drawing their supplies
from our farmers and spending their
money in our midst.
Wo trust that tho meetings appoint
ed by Mr. Hunt will bo attended by
every farmer in tho valley and his
proposition cheerfully accepted. This
we believe will be done, as wo have
yet to hear of a singlo subscriber to
the subsidy who objects to tho plan.
A I'MUIWl'S itun.ncTioN.
A farmer camo to this city yesterday,
.Fays an Albany paper and inquired of
' V wheat dealer the pricoof wheat. Ho
was informed that fill cents is now
paid for that product of tho farmer's
frpring and summer toil, lie asked a
merchant tho prico of granulated su
gar and was informed that that product
of a highly protected industry was sell
ing at ten pounds to tho dollar. Tho
farmer scratched among tho gray
hairs about his temple, his face assum
niing an air of reflection, as ho said to
tho merchant: "Ono bushel of wheat
will buy'O.J pounds of sugar, Now I
see what a doMiablo homo market tho
blessed high tarin'furnislies, and 1 now,
by oxporionco, comprehend the cheap
sugar which 1 was to have by stimula
ting its production through tho means
of that samo blessed tarill'. Tho homo
market 1 was to have is not to bo found.
I ship my wheat to England at heavy
tonago rates and sell it in competition
with wheat raised by tho cheapest la
bor in tho world. Tho English farmer
sells his wheat at 1.0(1. per bushel and
buys his sugar at '1 cents per pound,
thus getting 25 k pounds of sugar for
n bushel of wheat, while I receive ('4
pounds for a bushel of wheal, And all
this in tho namo of our protective sys
tem." Thus mused tho fanner and his
awakenfng is just such as will toon
fall to tho lot of thousands more of thorn.
If republican farmers could for a mouth,
got their politics and pmljudicos out of
their head and investigate in a candid
way, not ono in twenty could bo found
who would hereafter maintain our
high protective system. Let democratic
farmers call upon republican farmers
and meet them and reason with them,
and tho good seed thus town will como
back before many months as bread
cast upon tho waters.
TASKS ON OI.OTIIIMI.
Tho New York World says: "There
is a meeting in progress in Boston of
woolen manufacturers to agree upon a
lino of notion with reforonco to revision
of tho tariff on wool and woolens."
These men need and want a free
choice of tho world's growth of wool in
order to compote successfully in tho
homo market and in tho markets of
tho world with rivals in England,
Franco and Oornuiiiy, whoso raw ma
terials aro untaxed. TJioy have made
tins want known, in past years, in a
memorial to tho Secretary of tho Treas
ury. Two Hopubliean Presidents and
two ltopublionu Secretaries of the
Treasury have recommended tho 10
moval of this hindering handicap.
Thoy pointed out the demonstrated
fact that under a high tariff on wool,
wool-growing has been less profitable
to American farmer, wool weaving has
been less profitable to AintTieuii maun
facturers and wool-wearing more costly
to tho American people. Ami yet bo-
cause the farmers have been deluded j
wiui mo specious cry oi "Protection"
and their votes are needed to sustain the i
swindling system, of which the wool !
duty is tho keystone, this ridiculous
and hurtful tax has been maintained.
Tlioro will bo another and a vastly
bigger meeting to consider the tax on
clothing. It will boa meeting of Amur-
ican citizens at the polls in 181)2. And
if the "campaign of education" shall 1
continue as it lias began, the return
will ho ii decided modification of tlioao
stupid mid oppressive impositions.
UIHTOKIAb KO.LS.
Tub annual Industrial Exposition nt
Portland is a grand affair and credita
ble to the state in every respect, and u
a great factor in making the womleunl
resources of our stale known to tli'
outside world, but, taking into con
sideration the vast amount of money
drawn from the interior towns to sup
port it wo doubt very much whether
it is a real benefit to tho etnte or any'
part of it, outside of tho city of Port
land.
Tin: city council of La Grando has
decided to bond tho city in the sum
of $20,000 for tho purpose of putting
in water works. This is flying pretty
high for a pasteboard town, which,
outside of tho railroad building, is
hardly worth that amount of money.
The next thing will be to find suckers
enough to take tho bond, then tho
work of getting the alkali and dust out
of the system of the inhabitants will
begin.
Many of tho farmers of our county
do not realize how well off they arc.
Could they haves accompanied us on
our recent visit to other portions of
Eastern Oregon they would return
perfectly satisfied with their condition
and thankful that their lines have been
cast where thoy arc. Union county
has all the essentials that go to consti
tute a prosperous country, is tho
equal of any county in tho state and
far superior to any in Eastern Oregon.
- 1
Tim managers of the O. 11. fc N. Co.
have brought. 'iiiit against the Northern
Pacific Co. to restrain it from discrimi
nating against them in the Puget
sound trallic, and the two companies
arc now at open warfare. Tho O. P.
it N. Co. evidently thinks that to rob
the people and discriminate against
various sections of tho country is all
right when carried on by themselves,
but when thoy got a doso of their own
medicine it is quito a different thing.
Sinck tho unexpected delay in tho
building of the Hunt railroad through
this valley we hear nothing moro of
tho 0. II. it. N. Co's branch to Wal
lowa. What is tho cause of this? Are
thoy gathering their wind to blow some
more, toon? "Wo are of tho opinion
that laying tho wind-work is as near
as they will ever como to building tho
branch. Wo aro m hopes, however,
that we are wrong- in tiiis and that the
branch will bo built to Wallowa.
Whilo it would paralyze tho trade of
La Grande it would accomodate a largo
area of farming country and bo an
advantage to our piiucipal producers,
the farmers, particularly Jix-tJiu Wal
lowa valley.
Jui)Hi5 Sawyku has made a ruling
in tho caso of tho United States
against The Dalles .Military ltoad Co.,
decidedly adverse to tho plaintiff.
The matter came up in the shape of
exceptions to portions of hill for imper
tinence The Judge in a lengthy do
cik'ion sustains llio exceptions and vir
tually decides tho ease, lie says that
tho company was bound to construct
the road, but that having constructed
it there was nothing in tho bill com
pelling them to maintain it. The
matter will probably bo dragged along
for a year or two in the courts, but tho
result is plainly indicated in the above
ruling. As tho road which .lodge
Sawyer alludes to as "constructed"
was purely an imaginary one it will bo
seen that justice as administered in
our superior courts is in substance of
a very nioonsbiny character.
Ax essay, entitled "Life: What is
it?,' by Mr. II. 0. Emery, of this city,
commences in this issuoof This Spout.
His an ably written paper and the
attention of our renders is called par
ticularly to it. Only by the inter
change of ideas and the attrition of
human thought can tho truth be
arrived at. Jlan has only his 1 Unison
to guide him through this mystery,
called life, and only Hope to tint
with rosy light the vistas of the future.
Tho inoro ho relies on ono and culti
vates tho other the better it will be
for him. Wind, unreasoning faith in
the unknown has not accomplished
any thing and never will. In fuel it
has retarded tho progio of tho world
for thousands of years. In defiance of
it (ialiloo mad the tai might; Colum
bus sailed around llio globe, and llru
