o . v . , . , . O C THE EHTES1PRISE. OREGON CITr, ORECOX.OCTOBER 10,1571. cDomocratic State Ticket ! FOU REPRESENTATIVE K CONCHESS, J. NESMITH, OK IOLIC COUNTY. Transiortatiu The vast amount of the surplus 2roducts of this cotratry and the vast area of unoccupied interior land adajted to farming and grazing pur poses taken iu connection "with the increased anS increasing foreign de mand forQthe suridus gives to the transporting business very great im portance. And that we may be able to compete with other produc ing countries and at the same time secure to the producer a remunera tive price for his products the de mand for cheap transportation is ini 2orutiv?. Recently tLe demand is eliciting the earnest fad thoughtful attention of a large class of the busi ness men of the nation ; we give as instances the organization of Farm ers Granges throughout the "Western States one of their leading objects being to devise a vav to secure more speedy and cheap means of transpor tation. The recent assemblage at Cooper Institute, in New York, of business men having in view devis ing means to cheapen transportation. Water transportation cither along the channels formed by natvire or iri artificial channels is the cheapest. So that the improvement of our rivers and harbors is a pressing ne cessity. Even here past legislation is.at fault in many instances. "Where obstructions exist in the natural channels legislative franchises have placed the rivers in the hands of monopolists when they should have been as free as the air we breathe. Some extensive and productive tracts of country destitute of navigable rivers can only have trrnsportation cby means of rail roads. The liber ality of the government, in affording aidto build these roads has been abused. The companies having in some instances received the peoples land and money more lhan sufficient to. build the roads claim by virtue 'of corporate rights exemption from leg islative control and hare turned that which was constructed by the peo ples money, and professedly for the peoples benefit, into an engine of ex.- tortiou and exactions. Another in stance of the baneful influence of monopolist.-: The New York Journa f Comiwrce states as the conclusion reached bv the business men at the cheap transportation meeting heh at Cooper Institute recently that th people through their legislatures must control the railroad policy o the State and to this end that the first thing to be done is to elect an honest legislature. 1 1 is not strange thatlthe men of the city of New York should thus earnestly take hold u: this suoject when statistics prove that the city of New York is loosing her-high position as the commerci queen of the American continent, which will appear from the follow ing exhibit: "While the quantity of grain produced and shipped to tide water from the west increased over 3(5 2er cent, iu the ton years ending with 1872; there was an actual de crease of nearly 50 per cent, in the quantity shipped by New Y'ork ca nals during the same period; yet the trade of Montreal, Canada, increased during the same period nearly 85 er cent. The proposition for the restoration of New York to her relative commer cial importance is not to build more rail roads but to widen and deepen the Erie canal by :m increase of j the water transportation facilities. oThe New York Journal of Com O ?tvcv further says of railroads: "Thev are creatures of the State; they have received enormous sums of money J or immensely valuable grants and concessions from the State. Thev have been coddled and petted bv the State and in return for this bound- i . . av i , icss gpufruMij iney nave neeomc i r .,,: . i-i . , conupifia ox juauw, miners oi leg islatures and tyrants over the people. They are public enemies in all these things. "0 When the rates of trans portation here are so high that the Qpeople of another nationality by cheapening transportation have in a measure diverted the transportation of the surplus products within our own borders through their country to them the benefits of the trade it is time something should be done to correct the abuses practiced by the companies owning the lines of trans portation. What has been the position of the two political parties on the railrord question. Because democrats have been unwilling that the government should give to the companies pro posing to build these roads all that was required for their construction and, to use them when constructed without let or hindrance, they have been' aeeussd by the republicans with opposing railroads and thereby hindering the development of the country. Now throughout the country peo ploire rallying to the Democratic view of the question as shown by the recent and general opposition to monopolies. o O ' ! 1 While the Republicans may claim the doubtful credit of being the friends, par excellence, of railroads the Democrats may justly claim the honor of being the fast friends of the rights of the masses of the peo ple as against any and all monopolies. This was exemplified in the recent California election. Another exemplification is found in the election now in this State. It is a well known fact that the Rail Road Company has a controlling in fluence in the Republican party and we are glad to say that it is felt and deprecated by many of the best men of that party. Before another issue of the Entek prise the election will have taken place and the people will have given expression by their Totes to their opinions on these questions vitally affecting the interests of the entire State and people. If the cool inde pendent judgment is exercised in de ciding in reference to votes given, then we have no fear as to the result. Monopoly has been given one stun ning blow in the recent election in California, let us repeat the blow on the 13th inst. Let the friends of labor, as against the aggressions of accumulated capi tal, present in the ides of October an unbroken phalanx. ivauicai N iccascms lor no t Voting lor Hi Smith. These are a few of the reasons of a Radical friend for not voting for Hi Smith: 1st. To vote for him would be. a virtual endorsement of the black crimes Senator Mitchell stands con victed of. 2nd. It would be endorsing the right of Federal officers and the rail road company to pack conventions of the party. ord. It would bo helping to send a man to Congress who is the agent of the railroad company at Harris- burg, and who has amassed a large ortuue from speculating olV the hard toilers of Oregon by forcing the farm ers to sell lum their wheat at a mere nominal figure, and being in with the ring was enabled to sell it at an advanced price. -1th. It would be endorsing the man who tried to tamper with the undisputed right of our citizens to go the polls, in the election of 1870, and exercise the right of voting for the man and principles of their choice, by hiring them to go into an adjoin ing county and vote for the candi dates of the railroad ring. 5th. It would helping to send a man to Congress who is an ignoram us, and who cannot appear before an audience and repeat two sentences of the Lmghsh language correctly. oth. It would be endorsing free love, woman suffrage and spiritual ism, as taught and practied by Mad ams oodhull, Anthony, Duniway aud Chamberlain, for Hiram Smith unreservedly endorses them, and has hired the two latter ladies to advocate his cause. 7th. It would be giving the ring two votes in the 4:Jd Congress for an additional subsidy to Mr. Holladay's Pacific Mail Steamships to carry Chinese immigrants to our shores to work on railroads, in the harvest lields, in the wash houses, in the workshops, and in every place where they can find an honestVhite laborer toiling for the sujiport of his family. Low Down. The Radical party of this State is getting as low down in this campaign as is possible for men to get. Last Satuaday they were seen with about two thousand coyies of the 3Tetc 2iort7urest, which were not regular issues of that japer, but were extras gotten up specially for campaign documents, by the Custom House and Railroad ring, and filled with libelous articles- which the ring was not willing to expose to public criticism. They, doubtless, think the voters of this county are to be caught by such a bait, but they will find the voters of Clacka mas county to be freemen ! A party claiming to be worthy the respect of the people, is low down when it dodges behind a woman for protec tion. The Radical press Mas consoling itself the other day by telling its readers that Hi Smith hadn't time to canvass the State with Col. Nesmith. What have they now to say of his having time to follow in the tracks of Mr. Nesmith, at a respectable dis tance, and distribute his tracts. He attempted to make a speech at Cor vallis last Friday and disgusted his friends by Lis stupity. Thii of Hi Smith appearing in Congress ! The reason that Smith didn't meet Mr. Nesmith was that he hadn't sense enough to get up before an audience and tell them that he was a candidate for Congress. Democrats, do you want to carry the county by a large majority and therein- make victory certain next next June? If so, see that every Democratic vote is polled. The Rad ical party is divided, crest-fallen and hopeless, and by defeating it in this election by an overwhelming victory we will not be misrepresented in the legislature next fall by a speculator in surveying contracts, as we were last. Vote against the party who endorsed bigamy, adultery.embezzle ment, and other hienous crimes. "Alone in nis Gloky."' The only person so far who, say sthe Jackson ville Tunes, fearing to lose his office, has taken the stump for Hi Smith, is W. H. Odell, Hippie's Surveyor Gen eral. This gives our Republican friends but little consolation, for Odell, the prince of nincompoops but of little force, and liable to' is do more injury than benefit. Editorial Correspondence, Raltimore, Sept. 21, 1873. In commencing this letter we hard ly know how and where to begin, or on what subject. To attempt to give Vl complete and pefect description of this city vouw tate more space than we are willing to occupy in the Enterprise with one letter, and we shall therefore only mention a few most important points and speak of the city in general. Baltimore contains about 300,000 in habitants, whites and blacks, and the people appear to be social, generous and liberal minded. The town is built up with brick and marble buildings, from four to six stories, some of which are very fine struc tures; yet we have seen few, if any, stores or residences which excel those found in our own State. One of the principal features of Balti more is its beautiful monuments, which are located all over the city. The town boasts of having also the cleanest and handsomest parks in the Union, and for all we know, this boast is well founded. Last Sun day, in company with a whole-souled printer, Mr. John Cox, we took a ride over the city and visited Drnid Park. This is said to be the most beautiful xark in the United States. The grounds are as nature created them, but handsome and level roads and paths have been made, which makes it a very desirable place to drive or walk. A number of donios ticated deer and other animals wan der over its wooded grounds and seem to be perfectly at home. This park is kept in order by the revenue received from the earnings of the the street cars, which pay twenty per cent, of their receipts into the city treasury for the right of way through the' various streets in the city. There are also a number of artificial lakes on the park, which add greatly to its beauty. To speak of the various other squares would be an almost inexhaustible subject, and we will leave the subject by say ing that they sire all beautiful and a credit to the city of Baltimore, being kept up in an unscrupulous clean and tasteful manner. ' The business of the city appears to be on the increase, and we learn that Chicago finds in this city a most formidable rival for the trade of the great Northwest. Packing and man ufacturing is carried Ton here in an extensive manner, and is the re;d source of its great wealth. If the people of Oregon could ouly realize the importance of manufactories, and our capitalists would go into the businees, we would soon see a change in our State, and prosperity would attend us oa every side. Instead of sending off annually millions of dol lars to build up and enrich other communities, our own State would be receiving her growth. One thing we noticed in our walks around town, and that is, about every other lady you meet is dressed in mourning. We could not believe that it was an unhealthy place, and upon enquiry we learned that a great number of her citizens had friends killed in the late war. The place was vir- j tually a refuge Jor the oppressed of the South during the war, and many of them still reside here. The Grand Lodge of the United States met here last Monday. It was as fine a body of men as we have ever seen assembled, and coming as they did from every State in the Un ion, were a fair representation of the Order, and we have no hesitancy in saying that they were an honor to the Order. The Grand Sire being absent, Deputy Grand Sire Dnrham, of Kentucky, member elect to Con gress, presided over the delibera tions of the body. The proceedings were harmonious throughout, and much legislation was had. There was no change made in the work, and the new books were adopted to go into effect on the 1st of next Jan uary. Washington and Idaho Ter ritories, who are under the jurisdic tion of the Grand Lodge of Oregon, were granted charters for Territorrial Grand Lodges. This was deemed best by us, as the rulings of the Grand Lodge are that those two Territories " must make their re turns to the Grand Lodge of the United States, and that they are not entitled to representation in the Grand Lodge of Oregon." Finding that this w as the opinion of the lead ing members of the order, including all the Past Grand Sires and the Grand Secretary, we concluded that if we could get a charter for them, they could set up house keeping on their own hook. In this we were successful. British Columbia was also granted a charter for a Grand Lodge. The Degree of Kebecca was so amended that the wife's standing in the Lodge is not dependent on the husband. During the session Grand Secretary Ridgely was presented with a solid silver brick and a most beautiful silver mounted cane the former by White of Nevada, and the latter by the representative from Tennessee. Appropriate presenta tion speeches were made by Repre sentative Herman and the Represent tive from Tennessee, and replied to by the recipient. The Lodge ad journed yesterday afternoon, and most of the members have left for their homes. There has been as great an excit- ment in financial circles during the past week as that on the memoriable Black Friday, caused by tbe suspen sion of Jay Cooke & Co. Of all the great banting houses of the country, not one was regarded more substan tial and opulent than that of Jay Cooke & Co. They Lave been the financial favorites of the Federal Government from the first issue of the national debt, and had a monop oly of the business until recently, when Grant found new pets to re ward in the firm of Clews & Co. Each individual of the firm had amassed a colossal fortune, and the public outside believed they did only a safe business, which could in no wise be injured by the wild and des perate devices of gold rings and stock gamblers. It . was, therefore, an occasion of astonishment and dis may when the news came. It was regarded as the dropping out of the financial corner stone and the top pling over of the great store at the head of the line, which was expected to be followed by a long roar as each tumbled against the other to the end of the string. It cannot be wonder ed at, that the wildest and most ex aggerated rumors sprang to life, and a panic ensued in Wall street. A financial judgment day seemed eminent, and stock speculators called for the rocks to cover them. It is stated that the suspension is only temporary. There is a report in cir culation that this suspension is only a ruse in the interest of huge specu lators. There has been a combina tion formed for the purpose of de pressing stocks, and it is stated that this suspension is in the interest of the speculators. If that be so, they have certainly succeeded in pushing stock down and they can quietly purchase before they resume. In our opinion, this is but a forerunner of a great financial crisis which must sooner or later overtake the stock rr i 1 vl am? We have not been so fortunate as to learn who the Democrats nomina ted for Congress, but see that the Radicals have placed in nomination Hiram Smith, of Harrisburg, on a platform endorsing Mitchell. If the Radicals had any show of carrying the State before the nomination was made and the adoption of this plat form, they certainly surrendered it when they met in Convention. It was our opinion that the Democrats might be imprudent enough to nom inate a man who the Radicals could defeat, but that man is not Hiram Smith, loaded down with a Mitchell Hippie platform. It is now our opinion, no matter who is nominated by the Democracy, that he will Ins elected by at least 2,500 majority. We urge upon every Democrat, as well as upon every man who is op posed to a bigmist, to cast their votes for the man who is opposed to him and thus seal the impudence of a party which has dared to insult the pumic sentiment of our State, lhe Radicals have indeed fallen below the dignity of a party, and the soon er it is buried, the better it will be for the representation oi our State. While we had our choice among Democrats, and would as soon ha-ve seen an honest Itadieal elected as a certain individual who was an aspi rant, that feeling has entirely van ished, aud should this individual we mean J. W. Nesmith have re ceived the nomination on a sound platform, we urge every Democrat to come up to the polls and vote for him. This is no time to stand back. The members of the party cau call to accouut at some future time the men who placed Lim in nomination. Let us come up to a man to put our seal of condemnation ou such de fiance and insults as offered by the Radical couventiou. It is our high hope that we shall be home before the election. Anything is better than Hiram Smith and a John Hiram Mitchell platform. We leave here to-night for New York. A. N Democrats, you are not only called upon to vote for the Democratic can didate and Democratic principles on next Monday, but you are called on to vote against a Custom House offi cer who receives $f,(H0 a year, of your taxes, for the performance of a duty that he neglects to meddle in the affairs of the railroad monopoly against the honest toilers of our State, and to vote against an U. S. Senator who neglects his duty, as a member of a Senate Committee on Transportion, to try to carry the elec tion in the interest of his client Ben Holladay and monopoly. Fai,se. The Bulletin has been par ading a libel in its columns for the past week, to the effect that Col. Nesmith was pledged to the support of the monster nionoioly that con trols the Columbia river. It is needless to say that this is false. Col. Xesmith is pledged to use his influence to have the Columbia river thrown open to free navigation, as he helped to have the Willamette. The Bulletin would like to make up some story to attract the attention of the voters from Holladay's agent at Harrisburg Hi Smith. Holladay's return to the State has given fresh courage to the Radical leaders. He immediately started J. F. Caples, Superintendent of the China Sunday School at Portland, to Salem to speak in the interest of Hi; he also started Madames Duniway & Chamberlain out through the cow counties to defend his bigamous Sen ator, and to help the cause of his ; agent at Harrisburg.
