ASTORIA. OREGON:
D. G. IRELAND Editor.
THURSDAY Nov. 1. 1877
It is Singular.
The San Francisco Bulletin thinks
"it is singular that Oregon makes no
prominent figure in the dairying busi
ness." This statement is made in an
other column of our paper to-day. It
is singular. We have before us a
cheese that was made on the jfyrion
county dairying farm of Mr. Henry
A. Ankeny, which is proof positive of
the.fact that Oregon has the farms, the
men, and everything that tends to pro
duce the very best articles in the dai
rying business, but as has been fre
quently urged -when our farmers wish
ed to sell their wheat, oats, barley,
etc. , at the top notch, the cry is raised
that farmers must not turn specula
tors. They have no right, says the
wheat ring, to demand more for their
wheat than we are willing to pay
them for it. So we may say with re
spect to the dairying business. Dealers
refusing to pay Mr. Ankeny what his
products are in fact worth in the mar
kets, prevents IVIr. Ankeny from mak
ing a prominent figure in his business
perhaps. The whole system of trade
is wrong in Oregon, and as managed
prevents many of our most energetic
citizens from making any prominent
figure m business. It is so with wool;
it is the same with leather; lumber,
fruit, grain, and everything that is
produced here. The climate and re
sources of Oregon are abundantly
able to stand a comparison of produc-
tions with California to-day in even i
the minutest details of trade, but
there is a something back of this which
prevents any in this state, except the
leading operators (not the producers),
from making any prominent figure in
business. "We refer with sadness to
the experiences of Sir. Thomas Cross
in the beef business, alluded to in the
same article from the Bulletin to which
these remarks apply. There was an
opportunity for Oregon to figure large
ly in the beef business, and California j
conceded to Oregon the justness of this
prominence, when her Pacific Mail
Steamship company purchased all their
supplies of Sir. Cross. But how was
Mr. Cross suppressed? The history of
his experience is well known. "We
have before this explained it, and
tracing his failure to a leading com
mercial firm in Portland we can
safely point to that same city jis the
cause for failures in numerous other
branches of Oregon's local industry, to
make a prominent figure in business.
The Bulletin is advised that it is not
because of Oregon's climate, nor any
one of her natural resources, particu
larly of the betf, dairying, or the
leather interests, that prevents promi
nence, but to the niggardly system of
carrying on commercial transactions
here. But, as the Bulletin remarks:
"This great state has entered upon a
new career of prosperity," and the
dawning of a new era in business is
upon us.
Yotinjr Indians.
Ingalls of Kansas has introduced in
the United States senate a bill provid
ing for the granting of the elective
franchise to Indians. The text of the
proposed act will be interesting read
ing matter. Indians, in several states,
now vote. In the New England
states, in New York and in Kansas
itself they are, if taxed, entitled to the
franchise. An all-important members
of the Lecompton convention of 1857
was a full-blooded Shawnee; a tool, to
be sure, but a voter nevertheless. The
Shawnees and Wyandottes were then
either half-breeds or quarter-breeds,
almost to a man, and voted when
taxed. The Sacs and Poxes, on the
Nemaha reservation, remained what
they were mider Black Hawk and
Tecumseh; and so almost entirely did
the Osages. But the Osages cultivated
the soil, while the Sacs and Poxes did
not Since then the Osages and whites
have extensively iafcermarried; the
fertile reservation occupied byihern
lias been surveyed, Into quarter sec
tions; and. the uiaJe' progsny na
some of them, and otter wfflrtfteBB J
I I Ml llMf'HWl II IIMBBMB
without the operation of the" Ingalls
bill.
The Indian territory lies south and
southeast of Kansas. There some of
the most savage and warlike tribes of
the continent in the early part of the
century the Creeks, Choctaws,Chicka-
saws and Seminoles have become
civilized; hase an intelligent form of
government chosen on the elective
principle; written constitutions; a Ju
diciary, with a Supreme court; schools,
churches, and trial by jury. They
raise the cereals, cotton, etc.; send
droves of horses, cattle and sheep to
market; live in good houses, have
miles of well-kept highways. If such
as these, with the old terrors of the
bloody grounds of Kentucky and Ohio,
can take to the industrial life of the
white man, why not the recently sub
dued of Montana, Idaho and Oregon?
General Crook thinks that the country
has seen the last Indian war. If it
has, a congressional enactment touch
ing the subject sugcested by the title
of Ingalls' bill, would be equally judi
cious, timely and humane.
Article xiv., section 2, of the con
stitution says:
Representatives shall be apportioned
counting the whole number
of persons in each State, excluding
Indians not taxed.
Article xv., section 1, says:
The right of citizens of the United
States to vote shall not be denied
on account of race, color, etc.
The text of the Ingalls bill, as we
have said, will be of interest to the
country.
Postal Savings Bank.
The project of transforming the
Post-office department into a grand
savings bank is seriously entertained
in some quarters in "Washington city.
The wide sweep of failure in this class
of institutions, and the immense losses
inflicted on the laboring lasses consti
tute
one of the most
asOTavatinn
causes of
discontent among those
classes.
The government is expectecu
to take the place of the savings ban
by providing bonds at a low rate of in
terest redeemable on demand, and the
postmasters tliroughout the country
are to be the medium through whom
such investments are to be made.
The amount of deposits in this coun
try is estimated by reliable commer
cial authority as high as $1,500,000,000
or L three-fourths of the national debt.
There are about $S00,000, 000 in C per
cent, securities which tlie government
can thus replace with bonds at less
than 4z per cent., thus saving over
10,000,000 per annum in interest.
This, of course, would horrify the old
Jeflersonian theorists, but very dif
ferent ideas of governmental functions
prevail now from those of 179S. The
old issues are silently disappearing
and new ones are taking their places.
But is is rather steep to expect that
the government will suddenly appro
priate such an enormous share of
what has hitherto been private busi
ness. It will necessitate a large in
crease in the clerical force of the
Post-office department, but it will
throw out of business a very large
number now employed .by the savings
banks.
We are glad to hear that the Pres
ident is gradually coming to a better
understanding "with the .Republican
party. The understanding could not
well be worse.
It is announced that the death of
Senator Morton may be expected at
any moment. He is gradually sinking.
He no longer takes an interest in
things going on about him. Experi
ences no violent paroxysms but grows
