Kill I' TT AT HO 1 1 1,
If charity begins at homo ?o flioub
enterprise. When wo see the amount
of capital subscribed by citizens o
Union to enterprises in distant towns
nnd sections we can't rofruin from call
ing a halt, and ask the investors to look
around them and sco if they arc not
neglecting their own town nnd coun
ty and building up other sections. It
looks decidedly that way to us. Thcro
are industries and enterpriser needing
development and establishment in
our midst. Mention them and we are
met with a lament of lack of capital,
while at the same time it is admitted
that they would be paying investments ;
then possibly the very next week wo
hco where investments have been made
by our homo people in distant enter
prises and speculations.
This is to say the least, inconsis
tent with public spirit. Wo know
that public spirit grows cold when
there is no promise of return for the
money it invests, but wo hold that
thcro is right among us several oppor
tunities to invest money where it
will pay handsome dividends. At the
winn time the investor will bo other
wise benefitted. They, in most cases
own property here, the value of which
will bo greatly increased by tho in
auguration of enterprises. Nothing
tends to build up n, community moro
than a diversity of small industries
within it. This section needs them as
badly as any wo know of, and while
this is realized by our public spirited
citizens, the capital is not forteoming
with which to establish tliem. If wo
can only impress upon our capitalists
tho fact that tliey need not seek other
towns and sections in which to invest
their capital safely and payingly, these
industries will bo established. Then
wo will seo an improvement in those
enterprises wo already have. Tho prico
of property will bo increased, our busi
ness men will bo moro successful and
tho community at largo take on new
lifo. Wo hopo our moneyed men will
ponder over this and first seo that
thcro is no placo for their money at
homo beforo they invest it abroad.
l'l.UXDKUKUS WHO AKH AI.AItMISII.
IIow do Mr. Illaiuo and the others
who have scon a great light on tho sub
ject of reciprocity reconcile their pre
sent position with that which they held
in 1888? In tho lato presidential cam
paign every one of theso sham states
man held that freo trade wherover
practiced would result in "Hooding"
this country with the products of pau
per labor. According to their argu
ments tho country in wh oh labor was
most poorly paid was tho ono with
which it was least desirable for tho
United States to trade. Certainly, if
tho dreary conglomerate of falsohood,
selfishness and ignorance known as
protection has any leg to stand upon
this is that leg. To remove it is to
bring down tho wholo yuperstructuro
of lies in hopeless ruin.
Now Hie countries with which Mr.
Illaiuo would ostablish reciprocity are
those of Central and South America,
in many of which labor is so cheap
that the governments have difiluulty
in striking i coin small enough to pay
for a day's work, Most of tlieso coun
tries also have exorbitant tuiiH's liko
ourovn,hut wages have been increased
by them. To establish free trado with
the republics to the south of us would
bo to open our inarkots to the competi
tion of tho poorest paid labor on earth.
How can protectionists defend that
proposition and yet adhere to the fun
damental falsehoods of protection?
Tho answer is simple. Protection
ists know that they have not told the
truth. They know that tarill's do not
increase wages. Tlioy know that freo
trade does not diminish wages. They
know that their system is in tho inter
est of capital wholly, and that it plun
ders labor as no other system ever did
or can. They are alarmed and, liko
othor and smaller plunderers, they are
willing to drop some of their spoil if
they can bo assured that they will get
away with tho remainder.
This is tho solution of tho reciprocity
business. If wo can have freo trade
with tho poorest nations on earth with
tho consent of the monopolists we will
havo freo trado with tho richest with
out their consent. That is tho logic
of tho situation, economically as woll
jib politically. Chicago Herald.
Oint thanks are duo to tho North
l'aciflo industrial Exposition for com-
pliinontary tickets to tho oxpoki'iou 1
which will bo hold in Portland from '
Sept. 25th to Oct. 25th. I
In referonco to tho lomarks of lion.
J. L. Roc which appear elsewhere in
this issue, we will say that tho article
ho takes exceptions to was written by
a reporter whilo we were attending the
press association in Portland. e find
upon inquiry that the reporter was
mistaken when ho stated that Mr. hoe
at ono time agreed with the committee
to take forty dollars per acre and nllo-v
the road to go through. From the
committee we learn thatMr.Koc never
agreed to do this, but did sell the right
of-way through his place to the U. P
company for forty dollars an acre, and
advised his neighbors to take the same
Ho knew at tho titno that he would
be asked to give or sell the right-of-way
through his place to tho Hunt road
and could havo favored this road in
stead of the U. P. had he seen fit to do
so. but ho did not see fit. Neither
would ho allow the grade to bo made
across his place when ofiored a bond,
signed by twenty-live of the best far
mers of that locality, to insuro him
against all damages he might sustain.
Of course Mr. Roo has a light to actio
matters of this kind as he thinks best,
but his discrimination in favor of
company that has ever been an enemy
and oppressor of the people and against
a company to which the entire county
looks for relief will not tend to make
him any more popular than lie is
Whilo we know but very littlo about
tho value of farm lands it seems to
us that a piceo of land at tho crosting
of two railroads, at a good point for a
trado center, is more valuable for town
lots than it is for farming purposes
Wo think, also that if Mr. Roe and
tho Hutchinson Pro's., had gold tho
right-of-way through their places at
reasonable figures it would havo been
a good oxamplo for ono or two others
on the other side of Summcrvillo, and
would havo been tho means of giving
tho graders a low moro weeks work in
tho valley, by which time arrangements
would have boon mado by which the
work would havo continued till the
road was completed through the
valley and to tho summit of tho Bluo
mountains.
ACQUAINT Till! TKOI'MJ WITH Til 1
LAWS.
If there is any ono thing that our
people tiro moro deficient in than an
other it is an acquaintance witli tho
laws of our state. Tho probabilities
are that tho great mass of our peoplo
are ignorant of tho laws passed two
years ngo. Ono reason and the prin
cipal one for this ignorance is tho
fact that tho laws tiro not within their
reach. Very few are able to purchase
u copy of tho session laws. The result
is they go without u copy and never
road tho laws. Tlw number who can
possess a copy of our code is still small
er. Outside of tho state and county
ollicets and tho attornoys, very low
persons over seo a copy of our laws.
Tho very peoplo who are expected to
oboy tho laws have no opportunity for
becoming familiar with them.
This is wrong, Peoplo should not
only know that wo havo laws, but tlioy
should know something about them,
Every voter, tit least, should ovj or
havo easy access to a copy of our laws.
Ifaoopyof tho laws cannot bo fur
nished our citizens, thon some arrange
ment should bo made whereby the
press of the state could publish them.
fliis is an important question and is
worthy of consideration.
OltKOON'S lMlODUUl'IVIS.NKSS.
A gentloman who eamo to this
country from Nebraska last winter,
received a letter from his old homo in
Custer county that tho avorago yield
of the wheat crop was about four bush
els to tho aero. Such returns as that
must niako tho fanners feel comforta
ble, if not those in Nebraska, certainly
thoso who have loft the land of cy
clones and starvation and have taken
up their abode in a laud of abundance.
Tho peoplo buck there don't believe
half tho truth of crop reports thoy hear
of Oregon. They do not evon accord
to their friends who aro hero the vor
acity thoy diil when thoy were among
them. Hut tho reason is evident.
l'lioy havo become so accustomed to
poor crops, and from tho fact that fif
teen or twenty bushels to tho aero
there is a big crop and rarely to bo
realized, So that -10 or fit) bushels to
tho acre is simply an absurdity and
thoy think it only an advertising
scheme.
