As noted elsewhere, Mr. O. W. Hundred thousand dollar- was c-on.-id-llunt
was in,, our city last week and : ored Very wealthy,
made final arrangements in regard to j The rapid increase of inillionairn is
the Grande Kondc extension of the 0. ! not a healthy feign. On thu contrary
& W. railroad. We, as a community,
cannot place too much impoitanee to
this enterprise. All who have- tlior-
oughly studied the situation of nfl'aijs
can at a glance eco that this extension
means Hush times and continued
prosperity to our county. Ono can
scarcely realize tlic difference this will
make to tbo wheat growers of Union
county until ho niakesa careful com
parison of the present prices of wheat
along tbolinc of the O. it W. T.and O.
H. it X. across tho mountains where
the people arc now receiving the bene
fit of this through lino to tide water
where farmers arc paid in cash four
cents per busliel more than can posi
bly bo paid by this other route. Will
it not bo of much importance to our
community and tbo county generally
to have this amount of money distrib
uted directly among tho producers
than havo it go to till the coffers of
some railroad corpoiation whoso motto
is "God pity tho poor; we'll take caro
of ourselves?" We should all take
homo to ourselves these facts, that the
vst amount of taxable property that
necessarily follows tho building of any
lino of railroad, the building of cities
and towns along the lino, tho competi
tion wo will havo and the direct lino
to tho world's great markets, all havo
a tendency to help roll onward tho
great tidal wave of prosperity tlmt is
now sweeping over the Pacific coast.
Lot us see that it does not stop until
Grande Hondo valley feels her pulses
thrill to tho progressive music of the
times. Tho subsidy that wo aro
called upon to subscribe to this enter
prise will be many times saved in our
first year's freights and tho diU'eien't
prices that will bo paid for all kinds of
produce. Begining tho construction
at this end of tho lino will at onco
throw thousands of dollars into circu
lation and furnish it market for tho
surplus of our people. All that is now
asked is for the people to extend tbo
timo on tho subsidies heretofore exe
cuted, in consideration that the work
bo started on this end of tho line. Af
ter dilligont inquiries we ate unable to
learn of hut one subscriber, who is on
for a small amount, who will not
cheerfully extend tho time. Wo urgo
every subscriber ami all who aro in
terested in tbo welfare of our beautiful
valley to aid this enterprise as much
as it is in his power to do.
THIS TWO l'OI.lTIOAI. l'AKTlKS.
Tho following paragraphs aro from
tho speech delivered by Mr. Matthews,
chairman, at tho recent Massachusetts
domooratio state convention. They
aro about tho best definitions of tho
principles of tho two parlies that wo
have seen :
"Tho republican party has outlived
its usefulness and is incompetent to
settlo tho problems of tho time. It is
owned by corporations, wealth and
lobbies. It stole tho presidency onco
and bought it twelve years later. It
has nothing to oiler tbo people but
subsidies, Ulair bills, high tarill's and
more restraints on commerce; its poli
cy, if continued, w ill hand this coun
try over to monopolies tirst, to hocial
ism next.
"Tho aim of democracy, on tho oth
er hand, is to soouro for labor greater
rewards and to increase tho opportu
nities for industry and trade. Having
held our own with foreign nations on
tho Held of battle, wo need not fear
tho peaceful rivalry of friendly com
merce. Free raw materials j freo coal
and wool and iron and lumber; wider
markets for tho products of American
labor and American ships to carry
them in; and freer commercial rela
tions with all tho nations of tho earth
thofo tilings will bonellt tho wholo
people of this country, Thoy aro es
sential to the continued prosperity of
tho New England states; and thoy will
not bo had until tin democratic party
is restored to power."
l'MITOOUAOY.
A writer in tho September Forum,
who ceems to bo well posted on tho
particular subject which ho discussed,
says that tho wealth of tho United
Rtatcs is about tixty billions of dollars.
Ho also states that more than quo
half this vast amount is in tho possos
fcion of less thun 2,000 pornons. In
othor words thuro aro 2,1500 mtoplo in
tho United Btatua worth on an average
?12,000,000 cacli, while the bahnce tf
1 the sixty million own but aM) r.l
Wo do not know that any r. lmMi
j information exists as to the diftrilnuioii
j of wealth in isgo, but we do know
' that tho total wealth of tho country is
j not nearly so largo,ns it is now, b-it r-
, much more evenly distributed 1 h.i '

peace anu prosperity m yurii ,vuu"iri
niqn than anarchistriitself., ISiatniay
be regarded by sonio as stfOfig state
ment, but a little,, geriCus thought
on tho hubject will Con Vincoftny reason
able person that it is truo. Anarchist
arc few and" with but little influence.
Thoy may in timo of great excite
ment or distress niako trouble in our
largo cities. Hut they aro quickly
suppressed and their power for evil in
ono of short duration. Not eo with
men who control billions of money.
They are gentlemen of experience and
ozonation. Thoy control .officials
and legislatures. Thoy own city coun
cils and tbeir satollilcs. When thoy
move on tho people they uso no tor
ches or dynamite, Their plans are sir
secret as thoso of the anarchist but J
they are governed and guided by wis
dom. They organize a trust and
squeezo fifty million out of the dear
people. They take the millions deftly,
so decently that tho victims hardly
realize tho injury. Tliey spread their
(ax to generally and so generously,
and indirectly that many are ignorant
of the robbery and stand ready to de
fend the plutocrats when exposed or
denounced. Thus their power for evil
is a hundred fold greater than those
who attack directly and oponly as do
the anarchists.
WHY OO 31 UN ADA'UKTJRi;
The man who conducts his business
on the llieory that it dosn't pay, and
ho can't afford to advertise, sots up his
judgemont in opposition to that of all
tho best business men in tho world.
Says an experienced advertising auth
ority: "With a few years' experience
in conducting a small business on a
few thousand dollars of capital, ho as
sumes to know more than thousands
of men whoso hourly transaction aggre
gate more than his do in a year, and
who have made their millions by pur
suing a course that ho says doson't
pay.
If advertising dosen't pay, why is it
that the most successful merchant of
every town, largo or small, are the
heaviest advertisers' Jf advertising
dosen't pay, who doos tho most busi
ness? If it doson't pay to advertise,
why do the heaviest businoss firms in
tho world spend millions in that way?
Is it because thoy want to donate thoto
millions of dollars to tho newspaper
nn d magazine publishers, or becaiuo
they don't know as much about busi
ness as the six-for-a-dollor merchant
who says money spent in advertising
is thrown away, or donated to tho man
to whom it is paid? Such talk is
simply ridiculous, and it requires more
than the avcrago patience to discuss
tho proposition of wothor advertising
pays or not with that kind of a man.
His complacent self-conceit in assum
ing that ho knows more than, tho
wholo world is laughable, and reminds
us of tho man who proved that Iho
woild doson't revolve by placing n
pumpkin on a stump and watching it
all night.
1M.AYINO ON AVOKUS.
Tho Jlakor Oity JUado in trying to
make tho people of tho southern part
of thin county boliovo that it would be
bettor for them to belong to linker
county says:
"Tho assessment of Union county
with taxable property valued at j!2,S'!"
700, is twonty-ono and nineteen-thirty-11
ft lis mills this year, while linker
county's taxable property, valued at
$l,7W),r70, is only taxod eighteen mills,
tho Stato tax to bo added in each
instance."
A nice play on words Indgod. but it
won't work. Tho facts are, Union
county's tax levy for county purpo.-co
is 'A mills and adding the levy for
school, contingent, University and
military purposes it makes a little
ovor 21 mill, linker county's tux levy
for county purposes is IS mills. Add
to this tho levy for sehool, University
and military purpose, s above, with
exception) of tho contingent fund, as
thoy havo none, and the levy for
linker county will be found to lw in- .
2(1 mills fi mills more than Union
county, the State tnx t be added in
each hrstnuce.
Youean't make your statement dov
tail with the fact, brother ltl.i.h-.
What have yti to say in that uitii!.
in (lie liereillu last week in which
t 'i ' T E ik. r county takes the
f . t . i 1 1 1 k f it publishing the
;g i. i tl.it tlu indebtedness of
IJ.ik' i i mnty is only $97,022,05, when
n.dly it is much more than that
amount, enormous as it is. Tho tax
p - ' - in hi article:
-:.! ilu- mount tlia stite treas-iii.-;
c! ii "nn;; for delinquent taxes
i-u- in :n tlii- county to the state to
th-- (tun of aiMiut tn thousand dollars.
thi- added to the $97,022,05 gives the
ftrund to.tal of $107,022, 05. This no
doubt, is less than tho actual indebted
ness, and if wo could get a correct re
port, the amount would reach $115,
000,00 or $120,000,00."
Union county's indebtedness is, pro
bably, not more than one third of that
amount and ulthotigh much improve
ment has been made throughout the
county, it is not increasing.
A dispatch from Boston, of a late
datCj says, in speaking of the wool
movement, that direct shipments are
being tpado from Oregon, and "the
time is probably coming when it will
seem as absurd to ship Oregon wools
to Boston via Han Francisco as via
Yokohnma. Fomc very choice Oregon
valley is in this market, and the quo
tations fchow a wide range.
