TUH DISTIUBXJTION OP WEALTH.
The critics of existing social and In
dustrial conditions are constantly as
Rertlng that the tendoncy is to concen
trate the Increase of wealth In the
hands of the few, at the expense of the
many. If this were true, It would cer
tainly Justify the condemnation of our
system of prosperity; but It Is not true,
as the statistic clearly prove, and Its
purslslent repetition is therefore lnex
enable. The rich are not growing
richer and the poor poorer, as these
bearers of gloomy tidings are fond of
proclaiming. It Is easy to demonstrate
that the aggregate wealth of the coun
try Is distributed with comparative
whon nroner allowance la
made for differences of personal abll
lty. In the natural order of things,
some men are sure to excel others In
money-making as In other forms of
endeavor. It would be so under any
plan or theory of the general division
of profits. There cannot be such a
thing as absolute uniformity In that
relation; and If a situation of that kind
should be estaWlshed by arbitrary
legislation, It would soon be changed
by the operation of trreslutlhle forces.
Tho exceptionally rich men constitute
only a small portion of the total popu
lation, and their combined fortunes
only a relative portion of the total
weoltli. They lose their Importance
the moment they are viewed In the
light of proportion, and for the purpose
of determining average facts and con
ditions In the country at large.
It Is shown ly the report of the
comptroller of the currency that the
deposits In the national banks amount
to $1.C47,M7,129, and that the number
of depositors Is 1,929,280. The deposits
In the savings tanks of the country
amount to 1,747,9G1,2S0 and the deposit
,m number 4.777.CS7. Then there are
building association with assets val
ued at r.28,52.000, and share holders
numbering 1,75,725. Taking all of these
together, ami calculating that each In
dividual depositor or share-holder rep
resents a family of Ave persons, we
have a total of J3,K3,S30,409, belonging
to 8,4!i2,752 cltlKcns, who stand for at
least two thirds of all tho lwopla of the
Vnlled States; and the figure would
j. coDKlderobly larger If the deposits
of the ordinary local banks were In
hided. It Is worth noting, further
more, rhut there are 311,745 farms and
2,928.071 homes In the country owned
hy the same num'lrf-r of individuals.
This surely does not warrant the claim
that tho capitalists and monopolists
are absorbing all the profits of society,
and that wealth Is annually gravitating
from the many to the few. On the con
trary, It plainly signifies that the dls
tt llmtlon of wealth Is general, that all
classes phare In the division of profits,
and that the prevailing tendoncy Is
toward an Improvement of the average
c.imiltlon of Individuals engugod In
.'irrvreilt pursuits.
This important truth mu?ht to stilt
further elaborated and Illustrated.

and r.):nolo the prosperity of the
country; and the Instances are numer
ous in Which they expend more than
tlu-y receive. It Is a cheap sort of dem
agoguery to stigmatize them as public
enemies, and to charge that they are
the "money power" which exercises
an autocratic and oppressive sway over
commerce and Industry. The true su
premacy In that respect Is with the
majority of the people, among whom
the preponderance of wealth Is dlstrlb
uted; and all talk to the contrary is a
perversion of facts that ere within the
reach and understanding of any one
who cares to Investigate the matter.
Mr. Hammond Is reported to have
left New York for the West, and he
may be expected to appear In Astoria
before many days. He and Mr. Bon
tier are said to tie amply provided with
all Che money needed to push their plan
for the city's development without de
lay or danger of Interruption. There Is
beginning to tie much Inquiry about
.Mr. Kimball, and unless he returns
very soon, he may find himself fore
stalled In one of his favorite projects
that of building a new hotel. An East
ern capitalist now in Portland, is said
to be prepared to commence that much
needed Improvement whenever the rail
road construction begins.
The executive department of the ad
ministration seems so utterly Incompe
tent or unfortunate In dealing with
foreign questions that there Is actual'
talk at Washington among both Demo
crats and Republicans that congress
may have to take several International
complications out of Its handn. While
it Is unlikely that any such attempt
will be made, the fact that such a step
has been considered showB how gen
erally the president's and Mr. Gresh
am'B policies have been disapproved.
' Health Officer Walker deserves
thanks from the entire community for
his prompt and thorough precaution
against possible contagion from the
ship County Antrim. While he feel
pretty well satisfied there is little dan
ger, he yet deems it best to enforce
the usual rigid quarantine measures,
to the end that all possible public ap
prehension may bo effectually quieted.
AuBtrla Is still threatening to Join
Germany, Spain and other European
and South American countries In the
policy of retaliation against the United
States on account of the present tariff
law. How quickly all this foreign war
on our products could be ended by re
storing the reciprocity clauses of the
McKlnley tariff.
The Bosebuig Review published a
large Illustrated edition on January
1st, and It can afford to feel proud of
the result. It Is a paper that much
larger and more metropolitan cities
than Ropuliurg would be proud of.
Our representatives in Salem continue

The treasury deficit for December
was 'tii,2ii0,324, making an aggregate of
27,Mi4,4fi5 for the first half of the cur
rent fiscal year. These figures show at
a glance what Democratic rule is doing
for the government.
The English baronet who presided at
the freo trade dinner given to Mr. Wil

On a dark, storry night, when the tide is
ebbing fast and the hardy fisherman finds it almost
impossible to handle his net, has he ever stopped
to think, should it become caught on a snag, what
brand of twine would stand the greatest strain?
Did he ever ask his brother fishermen what sort 01
twine they used? If so in nine cases out often,
if they be successful fishermen, the answer has
been "MARSHALL'S TWINE."
It is the ONLY Brand
of Twine to use.
