We have vainly tried to bring to mind, by searching among all the large com. morclal Interests of this country, a par. allel condition to that which confronts the salmon packers of the Columbia river today. Here Is an Industry fostered and absolutely controlled within two hundred miles of territory bordering a stream for that distance from its mouth. It Is Impossible to tell what disposition of providence or law of nature it a which makes the Columbia river the ona stream in the whole world Into which the Boyal Chinook salmon enters. All one : can grasp is that such is the case, and xmat tne laot virtually narrows tn . Spawning and sporting ground of the IHV.h .iioaiiiiivciib iwu itiwun e,.i given to man Into a comparatively Infinitesimal area. In this area are fifteoiv or sixteen cannerymen, many of them with an ex perience of Several years In the business, and all presumably sound business men. , And they can't pull together. Certainly no body of commercial work ers could combine Its Interests more easily than these. Hogs can be cured everywhere, corn and fruit and beef can be packed from one end of the con tinent to the other, but the product that Columbia river canners handle can ba reached and utilized for trade purposes in one locality, and only one. Anl stlj tnese men will stand by, pegging out their little individual plans, pulling the Strings back and forth. DaddUna- their own solitary canioes here, there and every where, and wisely quoting proverbs about "every tub Standing on its own bottom." And they won't pull together. Take the Alaska Packers' Association, A great corporation, intelligently forcing Its product, gathered from over a great rea, onto the markets of the world. -And though that product Is no more to . be compared with our Royal Chinook salmon than porterhouse steak to the nam. string of a giraffe, though it seems to us here on the spot who know of these things, how like contamination of our qwn flsh it Is even to mention the .two prtodutet In the same sentence, stll we cannot help expressing otir admi ration of the splendid business energy nd Increasing end united efforts of the Alaska Packers' Association In the light for practical control ot many markets. By combination and skillful generalship It has educated thousands of coneumirs Into beleiving that Alaska salmon Is just as good as any other salmon, and has taken mighty good care to see that no individual competition In certain cen tres with better goods was allowed to undeceive Its admirers. And this has been easy. With no united action against its course it has smilingly seen matters go Its own way and been by turns arnun. ed and gratified with the Inexplicable In action of the Columbia River men. The latter today could overturn this condi tion of affairs in a month; In two months they could put every salmon eiter in possession of the truth; In three months they could establish the market for the Royal Chinook on a firm and indestructi ble basis. .vAnd they won't pull together. We have a dim recollection of a child's game played with the four corners of a .handkerchief: "When I say let go, hold fast; when I say hold fast, let go." It Is the duty of Columbia. River cannery men to shake off their doubt and Irresolu tion and get together. Combination Is the spirit of the age, not necessarily for the purpose of raising prices (for that Is not the history of legitimate combinations) but for mutual protection of Identical In. tcrests. The English statistician; Michael Q, Mulhall, publishes In the June number of the North American Review an article tn "The Power and Wealth of the United States."' Mr. Mulhall's conclusion states that "If we take a survey of mankind in ancient or modern timet as regards the physical, mechanical force of nations, we find nothing to compare with the United 8tates, In this present year of 1893, and that the United States pones s by far the greatest productive power in the world. He asserts that the absolute effective force of the American people is now more than three times what It was In 1860, and the United States poa eestsi'B almost as much energy us Great Rritaln, Germany, and France collective ly and that the ratio falling to each A merle in) l more than what two KiixHshmen or Germans have at then disposal. He points out by careful , iwrisrlson between the condition in th n ut countries tfcit an ordinary farm in the United fates raises as much :., tr;; ir. fvt. Ave In Ocr- ,. , or six to AirMria. One man In mfrlca win produce as much flour as will feed 200, whereas In Europe one man feeds only 30 persons. Mr. Mulhall calls rpjehl attention to the fact that the In. teilectual power of the republic is In har mony with the industrial and mechanical, 67 per cent of the total population over ten years of age being able to read and write. "It may be fearlessly asserted," says he, "that Itt the history of the hu man race no nation ever before possessed 41,000,000 instructed citizens." T::e resumption of specie payments by Chlie, which occurred on the first of the present month, promises to furnish some Interesting lessons on coinage legislation. Reports from there etate .that the gov ernmjnt tried to familiarize the people with the new forms of sliver and gold coin by getting out a preliminary Issue, TtuBJ were quickly exchanged for the oid paper money, but as soon as the novelty had worn off, the people were giad to go back to the more convenient form of paper currency. Another em. barrosfrnttit occurred when the govern, ment found that coin was being exported In sreit quantities. The new specie payment law fixed the ratio between tht metais is 41 to L This ignored the cur. rent ratio of the remainder of the world, that in the London market at the present time being about 31 to 1. As a result of this difference gold bullion began, to flow out of Chile at an alarming rate. The sliver coins were also exported, because the law provided that they should con. tain t grains of pure silver, which made them worth intrinsically more than tin current silver dollar. Thus, both gold and silver will be drained out of Chile, so the government ordered the mints to stop further coinage. Under the law the mints began June 1st, and there Is much Interest to learn what the result will bo of this latest step. "COIN'S FINANCIAL FOOL." (Joel Denton in Harper's Weekly.) I want a bogus dollar, Just based on mere pretense; I hate the "goldbugs' " gold one that is worth a hundred cents; For I'm a "Sliver Beetle," and all the world can see, And except my precious humbug you will find no bugs on me. I can give you learned statistics from - Rome to Adam Smith, And quite a miscellaneous lot of fallacies therewith, To prove that all our troubles In panics now or old Are but the rank production) of a dollar mads from gold. I brook no British meddling with the "white" stuff that I laud, For what care we for England or ths folks who live "abroad?" They tell us two and two make four, as sure as I m alive, And so, to be "American," I vow that they make five. Does anybody think the Yankee Nation cannot say That unythlng's a dollar and make its value stay? Should England ever dare to, by the Revolution's birth, We will suddenly "annex her" or "wipe her from the earth." We i need a pile of money, and it isn't England s right To refuse the kind we offer. If she does I want to fight. For if we Yankees legislate that water runs up hill. In spite of all creation I will bet you that It will. I know the slvler bullion that the people had to buy, Piled up, would make a monument broad based and six miles high, Besides the minted sliver, which nobody takes away, But we ought to keep on buying it in spite of what they say. I don't care a continental for Wall strec; or Qrover C, For all the bloated "goldbugs" are ss mean as they can1 be; So I've sent broadcast my pamphlet as a sort of "Summer School," To show the folks the wisdom of "Col.i's Financial Fool." INCIDENT AT FREDERICKSBURG. From the Springfield Republican. "I must tell you of one very success, ful trick we once played on the rebel forces," said Mr. Blake, formerly of Ber dan's sharpshooters, "by which we saved our skins In a very tight place. It was after the bloody and useless slaughter at FnMfcrlckfcburg, where over 2,000 men of Hancock's division fell In less than fifteen minuteB, nearly 13,000 falling In the several assaults. The next duy after this great slauKhter the sharpshooters were ngalni ordered to the front and reached to wlthlni 200 yards of the rebel pickets, with orders o reserve their fire. To look around on the bloody field that day and see the ground so thickly strewn with the dead which lay in every con ceivable shape, torn and manghd with shot and shell, the ground literally soaked and slimy with the blood that had. flowed from their wounds, formed a pic ture thit can never be forgotten. Dur ing that night the army was qdletly withdrawn across the river, and Just be fore duyllght the sharpshooters were called In. To fool th rebels and prevent their Immediately pursuing us we propped up some of the dead bodies at regular dis tances so as to resemble ta picket line In the dim light of the morning there were bodies enough und to spare. Ghastly enough they must have looked as in a sort of hideous mockery they leered with set eye-balls at the rebels, who Inter discovered the trick, but not until' long after we had left the field in safety. So rapidly had the army moved that when we reached1 the river we found that the plunks urross the pontoon brUltte had been removed; and we had to wait in fear and apprehxtialon of hearing the well known rebel yell sound af our backs, until the planks could be brought back and a passage made for us tcy cross, which we quickly did, being glaifenough to get away from the ill-fated Acid." REVISION OF SCHOOL COURSES. New York Letter. The Brooklyn board of education pro poses to make important1 changes in the courses of study in the public schools n.xt winter. It is proposed, for the main thing, to reduce the number of subjects taught, and the amount of time required for study. "Several of the recommenda tions by the principals will ba adopted, among them the teaching of inventlonal geometry in connection with the drawing; the teaching of natural science in the grammar schools, in connection with gtography; the postponement of the rime when geography shall begin to the eighth gmmmur grade; the reduction of the amount of work in the formal study of grammar and the reduction of the amount of work in the formal study of history. In addition to this the committee will also recommend the us of a larger selection of supplementary readers nd the read ing of single short works in English and llti.a-a.ture connected with history and geography. Instruction In hygiene will be given In connection1 with physical ex ercises daily. ARGENTINA'S EXPERIENCE. Salem Statesman. The government hgal endr psper dol lar In Argentina is now worth only 26 cents, and the populists down there hv r.o patience with a silver bug who wants a dolUr worth 10 cents. They think ths m-jy to toboggan In finance is to tobog gan. FRENCH FOREIGN TRADE. The London Financial News says: "French foreign trade appears to be look ing up at last, the April figures showing considerable improvement, alike in im ports and exports, on those of the cor responding month. The arrivals of raw materials were 8,000,000 francs greater, and of manufactured goods 19,000,000 francs. But in comparing these substan tial gains with the small decrease re corded by the board of trade In the April Imports and exports of the United King dom It must be remembered that the Fremiti system is to value merchandise on a fixed seal'?, so that the values do not reflect any rise or fall In prices that may occur from month to month." AIR-TIGHT COMPARTMENTS. It will bo remembered that the cause Of the disaster to the British battleship Victoria was the failure to secure a speedy closing of the alr-tlght compart ments from which the flood of water should have been excluded. The sad lesson has not been lost, and the naval authorities of Washington are now test ing a device, to be worked by electricity, by which the officer of the deck or the man in the conining-tower of a vessel can close every door instantaneously by pulling a lever in case of an impending ramming or collision. The sounding of a whistle or a bell for a specified number of seconds warns the men below to escape to the deck or get out ot the way of the doors. AUSTRALIAN INDEBTEDNESS. An English paper states that a Victor ian statistician has been summing up the total indebtedness, public and private, of the seven colonies of Australia, and puts it at 315,000,000. The interest on this last year was 12,750,000, which works out at a fraction over 4 per cent. It is needless to say that this return does not represent a fair average yield of British capital Invested in Australasia, even taking the 3 per cent and per cent loans Into account, and speaks eloquently of the re sults of the bank failures of two years ago, and the locking up of large sums in unremuneratlve and, at present, unreal lz. able properties, WHY do people complain of hard times, when any woman or man can make from $5 to $1C a day easily. All have ' heard of the wonderful success of the Climax Dish Washer; yet many are apt to think they can't make money selling it; but anyono can make money because every family wants one.
