TODAY'S WEATHER. '
Portland. Feb. 21. For Washington
and Oregon: Fair weather; slight tern
perature changes.' ,
The enormity' of crimes against the
ballot box have been fully impressed
upon the minds of the democratic poli
ticians in New York by the recent sen
tence of John Y. McKane, the Graves
end . political - boss, and "ex-klng 'of
Coney Island," as he has been termed,
Such offenses, It should be borne In
mind, go to -the very foundations i of
government, and the punishment of Mc
Kane especially win no doubt nave a
restraining influenoe in the future. -
Senator Lodge a- few days ago made
the statement that the Income tax- Is
stronger In the senate than is the Wtl-
, son bill; and the Boston Herald, a demo
cratlo baper; says that if the statement
Is correct "it proves the kind of boom
erang work that the 'politics' of the re
publlcart ' members of the house hove
achieved by adding this bill to the Wll
son tariff." The facts of the matter art
that the Wilson bill was apparently pre
pared to force the income tax, and' li
was merely honest to put both ends of
the policy into' the same measure. And
again, ' there ' were not republican
enough, It every one had voted not to
put in the income tax, to have prevent
ed the consolidation. The Income taxer
had a' majority of thirty over the whole
republican "vote and xll democrat!
against the income taxation.
In Kansas, in" the year ending June 30,
1893. the railroads of that state (8,80
miles) ' carried 31.119.358 ' passengers.
which represented the carrying of 1,
469,789,053 passengers1 one mile. Thi
earnings oh this business were 2.17 cenu
per passenger per mile, and the cost' t.
the lines was 2.107 cents per passenge.
per mile. The rate of earnings per pas-
aenger per mile oft the business of thi
previous year was 2.366 cents. The tota.
amount of freight earnings for the yea
was- 1105,688,883, being an increase ol
84,840,662 over the previous year. ThU
represented the handling of 10.446,605.14.
tons one mile, and the rate was l.Oi
cent per ton per mile, as against 1.041
cent per ton per mile received on busi
ness of the previous year. The coat ol
hauling one ton one mile during the
last year was 0.6C4 cent These figures
are taken from the official returns, and
shows how horribly the poor people or
Kansas are oppressed by the roads.
Paralh! th railroads! They charge
fteaily seven mills A tnlle per ton for
traai-jjortatton, and so crush the peo
tfe. Tli sstv.-r crur.l. point with pride to
the fiit Uit silver and wheat have
reached the luwrat point ever known In
the markets t.f Ln and Chicago on
vnt diy, and shout exultantly, "What
tJi-l we tea your They seem to ha'e
m rrcftr tonccption of the relations ex-
Istlng between the two commodities,
The. labor that goes to the silver mines
i.' . , .. . A .
. . - - - '
the quantity of grain that has to go
abroad to be eateni The greater the
supe'rflultyithe more likely It is to fall
in price. That Is what Is the matter
with silver as well as with wheat. More
silver has been-mined than the world
wanted. It has not been degraded by
unfriendly governments. Silver, and not
gold, has been the pet of governments.
The favoritism of legislation has been
for sliver. Gold holds lts'own, and is of
the 'same value in the pig as in the
eagle. Farmers complain of railroads
and wish perpetual meddling with them,
so that there shall not be what Is
vaguely called ''discrimination." But
the way the roads have cheapened
wheat,- so that the burdened poor In
cities are supplied with cheap bread. Is
by bringing vast spaces of wheat lands
within range of the markets. " That
which the figures' for the markets -of
silver and wheat prove Is that a larger
share of Industry should be diverted
from the sliver mines and wheat fields.
A bill has been Introduced in the
house of representatives "to authorize
the construction of bridges and crossing
of the navigable rivers at waterways Of
the United States, and for other pur
poses." An examination of the bill
shows that It Is for "other purposes"
than- construction, First, it is provided
that "all such brides shall be single
P0 -and shall reach from ; bank to
bank i over such stream or waterway to
the extent of three thousand feet In
lenth." The demand that no span ort a
river of greater measure shall be less
than three thousand feet may of Itself
be regarded 'as a brilliant conception,
but according to Mr. Richardson, of
Tennessee, who Introduced the measure,
the span Is not only to be three thou
sand feet, but one hundred and fifty
feet above high tide, or one hundred
feet above the highest high-water mark.
But even this Is not all. Existing
bridges complained of by ten citizens aB
damaging, if they are found "In any
way" to "Interfere" with safe naviga
tion, "or the free outflow," shall be re
moved by the secretary of war at the
expense of the owners on sixty days'
notice, and "should the secretary of
war refuse or neglect to carry out such
provision of this act he shall be re
moved from that office, and the same
with his successors, until one may be
found who will so execute the law In
good faith." The object of the bill
seems to be to destroy nearly all the
great railroad bridges In the country.
Six of the bridges across the Ohio river
would have to go; and they cost some
where In the neighborhood of ten mill
ions of dollars. '
GIVE AMERICAN SHIP8 A CHANCE
A short time ago the naval authori
ses chartered some foreign vessels for
he conveyance of coil to American war
'hips at Rio de Janeiro. This aroused
'he wrath of a number of merchants
ihlp-ownere and others end they pro
'ested vigorously through the nress.
"apt. Daniel O. Davis, In referring to
'he protest, says In a communication to
he Portland Evenlnir Express:
A United States naval vessel In any
lime, In any port In the world, Is ar
nuch a part of the territory of the
United States ns Is the District of C"
'umbla, and transporting stores nnd
mpplles from any port In this country
o them in foreltm bottoms, under r
orelgn flasr. Is as much a violation of
wr shipping laws as would be tho
iirrytng of a cargo of domestic produce
'n tho same ship from New York to Sar
Francisco, or to bring the question
nearer home, for a Dominion bottom
under a Dominion flag to take a load of
umber from Bangor to Bcston. In view
f this action of the navy department I'
"becomes the duty of every chamber of
"ommerce and board of trade In the
ountry to vehemently protest against
'ts action, and every msritlme city,
'own and village on the Atlantic, Pa
Iflc and lake coasts should remonstrate
inmlstakably against It, Should the
Tovernment insist on inviting proposal?
rom all nations Indiscriminately and
lupplles be shipped to our naval ships
'n foreign bottoms under a foreign flag,
It will result In becoming the thin edte
)f the wedge that would eventually ab
rogate our shipping law and throw open
to the common carriers of the world our
coasting trade, of which event It Is easy
to Imagine the result.
THE BENEFITS OF ADVERTISING.
John Wanamaker Is the greatest re-
tall advertiser In the world. He spends
more money for advertising than any
other retailer In the world, and he never
fools away a dollar of It. Ills advertis
ing methods are. therefore, worthy of
close scrutiny by those who wish to
learn the important lesson of where,
when and how to advertise profitably.
You who have watched his advertise
ments this winter must nave noucea
that In the busy season before the holi
day they were comparatively small,
but that since the new year began they
have been extraordinarily large. For a
month before Christmas, when many
n;.rcivrt2 Trcre ?rr??-'n!f 't In full
page displays, Mr. Wanamaker's ads
went on In about the aanie space they
had filled since September. But as soon
the holiday trade was over and many
merchants drew down t osmall space, or
; ceasad altogether, this clever advertiser
- llur.aRpd hlB Bt)ace enorm0usly. In-
1 deed, we believe he has never before in j
' A 1 a nnnnn.tltllfA rlflVfl
iiiiH atiinit iiuiiiuui ui LuiiDci-uiiTc j
used as much newspaper space as he,
has use3 thus far in this generally dull
month of this extraordinarily dull win
ter. This means something.
It means that the greatest retail ad
vertiser In the world has learned that
the time to push trade Is when trade
needs pushing.
The time to advertise is all the time.
The time to put forth special effort is
when people won't buy without being
especially urged to do so. Brains.
INGERSOLL'S OPINIONS.
He Believes Democrats Alone Cause the
"Hard Times'
Bob Ingersoll was recently asked If he
had anything to siy about hard times.
, "Have I anything to say about the
hard times and the present depression
in business? I should think I had. My
opinion can be given In a few words. If
the republican party could go into
power tomorrow we would have good
times Monday morning. Money there
Is plenty of money in the country. The j
amount of money In the country is evi-
denced by the rates of interest, and i
rates are not high. What we want is
confidence. ' The trouble Is that no man-
ufactairer knows in what minner the
tariff will be tinkered, and he does not j
want to start an enterprise. If he was .
certain he would ask for loans, pnd open '
up business at once. Business makes ,
business. Give us a staunch and true 1
repulllcan administration next week,
and the smoke would pour from the
stack of every manufacturing plant In
America. Great God, yes. The hard
times are due to the democratic policy.
"What is your opinion of the Ha
waiian question, and the policy of Cleve
land?" "It was the most colosally absurdly
ridiculous mistake ever conceived," was
the vehement reply, "but I do not care
to eo Into detail about It."
"My husband does not like to talk
.-.bout this matter," sail Mrs. Insert oil.
"Mr. Greshnm is a very dear friend of
his, and it is a sore point with him."
"Gresham his many staunch admirers
in this state." broke In Mr. Evans,
"Some of his pioneer supporters live
here."
"I fear he will have to suffer for the
sins of Cleveland," said the colonel.
"for which I am devoutly sorry. I have
been for annexation always. My opinion
has been that the islands should become
annexed to the United States. I ven
go further, and believe In the annexa
tion of Cuba. The West Indies of right
are a part of territory which we should
govern. Of this, however, later on."
