PRACTICAL PROSPERITY.
Among the first to be benefited
by the good times that followed
Bryan's defeat four years ago were
the stockgrowers of Eastern and
Western Oregon, says The Ore
gonian. Immediately there arose
a demand for all kinds of stock
which has continued to this day
with an ever-upward tendency in
prices. So pressing was the de
mand from Eastern and Pacific
coast buyers in 1897 and 1898 that
many growers sold their foundation
stock, and it was feared in some
quarters that the industry would
rje impaired, cut growers were
Dot so improvident.
Alter discharging the debts that
had accumulated in the two years
that Bryan was preaching 10 to 1
they began importing the finest
breeds of cattle, horses, sheep and
Bwine. The repult is that today
the stock industry is on a firmer
foundation than ever before, ant
growers uro out of debt and pros
perous. This revolution in one
line of business is an accompani
ment of the prosperity which al
Oregon has enjoyed during the
past throe years. Tour years ago
the stock industry was nil, an:
sheep ranches could not be given
away. Now there is aotive call for
all kinds of stock at the highest
prices.
Entire communities in Eastern
Oregon are largely dependent upon
stock, and if the industry should
decline, they would experience the
Bame depression they had a few
years ago. Umatilla county alone
receives from $3,000,000 to $5,000,
000 a year from stock, wool and
wneat.
McKINLEY A MAN.
In the New York Methodist
Episoopal Conference yesterday,
the committee on tomperanoe pre
sented a report which condemned
the army canteen, and urged en
foroement of prohibitory measures.
Bishop McCabe Baid that it is not
always policy to denounce those
high in authority.
I believe," he Baid, "that the
President wants to do what is
right lie is one of the best, one
of the purest and one of the brav
est men I ever knew."
The bishop's remarks provoked
great applause, but some of the
members took exception. The
bishop replied that ho was a man
before he was a bishop, and will
cease to be a bishop before he will
cease to be a man. In a political
campaign, he said, the President
of the United States ought not to
be abused.
JUST SO.
In one of his recent campaign
speeches Gov. Roosevelt said:
"Kemember the conditions of
Coxey armies and the free soup
houscs of six years ago. Think
how the prophecies made by our
oppontMits four years ago have'
been falsified by events. Look
around at your own prosperity.
There is twice as much employ,
meut as there was four years ago.
And with all this iu miud you can
not but realize that it is for your
material interest to keep un
changed the policies of President
McKinley and that it would be
folly, unworthy of a serious peo
ple, to trust yourselves to the ex
ploded fallacies of our antagonist
THOSE TRUSTS.
The evident purpose of the dem
ocratic party in this campaign is
to make trusts the paramount is
sue. The platform adopted by the
national convention placed the
opposition to expansion in the
lead, but the utterances of Bryan
and the local orators have all been
directed against the trusts, says
the Argonaut.
It may be admitted that the
trusts are responsible for certain
abuses that have haimed every
community to which their opera
tions extended. In certain cases
they have increased the prices
that consumers have to pay for
commodities; in other cases they
have crushed the small dealer and
forced him out of the business.
But these are criticisms that lie
against the individual oiganiza
tion rather than against trusts in
general.
The cry of the Democrats against
the trusts is insincere; their pur.
pose is simply to gain political
capital by appealing to greed and
prejudice rather than reason. The
incincerity of the outcry is most
clearly demonstrated when the
arguments of their speakers are
analyzed. Trusts whose homes
are in the East have sustained
their attacks. But the trusts we
have at home are apparently harm
less, for they are either ignored or
sustained in the addresses of the
Democratic speakers.
The wine companies of Califor
nia have formed a trust whose
avowed purpose is to increase the
price. Nobody has heard a word
of protest against the exactions of
this monopoly. The raisin.growerB
have formed a trust that has raised
the price of raisins. The fruit
canners have formed a combine
that may be called a trust. The
fish-canneries are members of a
trust These organizations, which
are simply combines of the larger
producers in certain local branches
of industry, have formed trusts,
but they foster certain industries
that are local, and therefore they
are praised and sustained rather
than abused.
Twenty years ago when General
Hancock was a candidate for the
presidency, a cartoon was published
representing him sitting in a chair,
with a most puzzled expression on
his face. Underneath was the
legend, "Who is Tariff, and why is
he for revenue only?'' The car
toon was inspired by Haucock'g
remark that the tariff was a local
issue only. The tariff is, and the
trust is. The Democrats favor
the local trust, and denounco the
trust whoso home is in another
state. Unfortunately, the Ilepub-
icans do the same. They deny
with fervor the assertion that they
favor trusts, and demand that the
trusts Bhall be exterminated. At
tbe same time, they rejoice over
the success of local trusts, and
urge their extension. The trust,
ike anything else, is good when it
does well, and bad when it does ill.
ROOSE VELT'S REMARKS.
Gov. Roosevelt has concluded
his campaign tour in Illinois. At
Alton his train was stopped for
orders. An incident of interest
occurred at that point. It was the
arrival and stopping of Mr. Bryan's
special train, north-bound, imme
diately alongside the Koosevelt
special. The Bryan train had also
stopped for ordera The candidates
did not Bee each other until their
cars were passing slowly, but as
they passed they recognized each
other in the dim light from the car
windows, and each leaning forward
waved his hat in salutation. Mr.
Bryan and J udge Yates, however,
held quite an extended conversa
tion, and the women of the respec
tive parties exchanged courtesies
and bouquets.
At Springfield, speaking of Ab
raham Lincoln, Mr. Roosevelt said:
"He sacrificed himself in death
that his people should know not
only liberty, but the Union that
symbolized order as well. Funda
mentally, every great question can
be settled by following his advice.
Lincoln came into prominence by
bis great debate with Douglas,
when they were opposed to one
another, but wbeu the honor of
the flag was at Btake Douglas
turned and shook the hands of his
great rival. So have we a right to
appeal to the Democrats today to
put imperialism above partisan

APPLES.
Morrow county orchards are produc
ing an abundance of apples this year.
The supply is away ahead of the de
mand for Lome use, and there is no
money in shipping them away. So a
great .many of them go to the hogs.
It is a uoatterof national record that
the bipgest and best apple xhibited at
the World's Fair was raised near Lex
ington, Morrow county.
The apple is a favorite fruit, and 210,
000,000 barrels are produced annually
in the United States. Of these 3,000,000
barrels are sold to England alone. Iowa
produces enough to supply England's
demand. Every winter from 6,000,000
to 10,000,000 barrels are held in cold
storage. New York, Iowa, Oregon
Washington, California, Colorado, Mis'
suuri and Kansas are the apple states
POL1TIX.
A railroad man who has had
acres of experience, says: ,
Now, when it comes to politics,
don't you think a man ought to
try to show just as good sense in
voting as he does in his trade or
business? Bryan is long on wind,
we can all agree ou that; but Mack
has got engineer's license. He's
been over the road. Bryan claims
he has an entirely new method, a
method of his own, for runuing the
government steam boiler, lie is
ery anxious to try his new meth
od and if she bursts, she can
burst. Mack maintains, though,
that you cau't toy with a steam
engine. 'Twou't do to let the
water get low; and you have got to
shoyel something besides air into
the fire-box,
In 18 Mr, Bryan said That
just as sure as Mack got into the
oab the boiler would explode, the
road would become foreclosed at
auction, the right of way given
ver to foreigu nations and the in
habitants of the territory along the
route would beoomo paupers.
Well, the old engine is still do
ing business, although four years
have passed away. They have
eugthened out her boiler some
and hitched on several new coach
es. Ihe eagle still sits ou the cow
catcher and has both eyes peeled
or obstructions. There was a
foreigu critter got on the track
once, out the eagle screechcu and
Mack, he turned ou extra vsteani.
They did not hold a Doet-inortoui
because the foroiguer was so cut
up and scattered they couldn't
find the remains. Because of the
fact that the foreigner, however,
did umkrtako to cress tlu track,
there have been several important
branchus added to the road. i
Once, after exposing the ridica
lous blunders of the editor of cer
tain old plays, James Russel
Lowell concluded with the remark
"In point of fact, we must apply to
this gentleman the 'name of the
first king of Sparta. No one re
membered, of coarse, what this
was, but when they looked it up
tuey found it was Jiiudamidas.
