THE CANAL.
Thero Is no doubt that when completed
the Nicaragua canal will be ono of the
wonders of the world, and, If, as seems
probable, tha work will be done by
" Americans, with American money and
' under American supervision, Its compla
, lion will be one of the greatest achieve
ments of the republic, whether In war or
" in peace. Its magnitude Is such the es
timated cost being J110,OUO,POQ-that it
could only be done by a great nation,
or by a gigantic combination of capital
ists, such as would only be possible in
the financial capitals of Europe. In fact,
It Is said that English capitalists would
have undertaken the work long since
but that the United States government
would not allow Europeans Intermed
dling wilthi anything In thea New World
so close t'o our borders. Hut this state
of things cannot last lonjr. The under
taking Is of world-wide Importance
and the United States will ere long be
obliged either to take the matter up Itself
or allow those who will to build It. It is
outside of our territory and It is only a
quasi right of being the protector of
the Centrul American republics,, or ot
keeping foreign forts and warships far
from our border.i, that gives us any
enow of right In the matter. The canal
will be constructed elthirliy a company
borrowing the credit of the United States
or by a European one, and completed
after a lapse of about twelve years. It
will take at least three years more to
bring matters to a focus so that the era
of actual construction shall begin. It is
said that it can be completed wlthl
seven years, but no doubt It will take
longer; ten years, or nine ut least.
That It will shorten the time of reach
Ing any point In the Pacific or In the
Australia phenomenally Is certain.

The struggle between ship and rail will
only then have commenced and freight
will be brought down to the lowest note
to which It Is possible to bring them
It goes without saying that they will b
very low between the poita of the At
luntlc states and the aulf of Mexico nil
tao 'I'acinc, that there wl'.j be a big cut
and that the mllroads coming to Ore

The shortening of the. voyage: to Europe
would mean a great deal to farmers an
those engnged In our wheat and frul
liaile. Freights would bn permanently
low, and the farmer would not, us now
have to divide up prollu with the ship
owner. This would help out low worl
prices ior wneai as rar as wo are ton
cerned In a 'wondorf'il manner and woul
be an equally wonderful Rid In develop
ing the prosperity of the cultivator of
tlid fcoll, without which there can be no
real life In manufactures or trade. Cheap
freights, too, would be the order of the
day 'between this coasi and the Eastern
and rioiUliern ports of the United States,
and result In a wonderful development o(
our fruit trade. The lumbermen of Ore
gon and the coast ml! llnJ a long-de
sired outlet for their product, which
could be placed cheaply In the markets
of Europe and the East Instead of, as
now, being almost excluded therefrom.
We be.leve that the canal would be
pjn( factor In developing the trade and
resource c' this city and state, mi J our
cltixciis should be foremost In the at'
tempt to bring the project to speedy com
pletion.
The only fault to be found with the
Morgan yndleate, that has so skilfully
kept the gold In the treasury constantly

some special magic about the figures ot
one hundred millions. This Is a purely
arbitrary limit. If there were run on

The wooden steamer Rappahmr.ock

of fuel one cent per ton cargo per 15?
miles, or carrying one ton one mile for
63-KJO of a mill. This show how cheaply
power Is applied to transportation. There
are, of course, other Items of expenditure
than fuel, but, count them .ill. and It Is
marvellous how the resources of the
whole earth are at lie command of the
people who are enlightened.

The London Times Is probably cor

THE DISTRACTED KENTUCKY DEM
OCRACY. The honest money Democrats of Ken
tucky are now realizing the magnitude
of the blunder they made when they nom
inated a financially unsound candidate
on a sound platform. Tney had their
opponents down, and t'hty should have
given them nothing. They should have
dealt with their adversaries' as they
themselves would have bem dealt with
had they Ibeen In the minority. The antl
frco silver Democrats, having a decided
majority of the delegates readopted the
financial plank of the national platform
of 18113 and followed that up by indorsing
Mr. Olevelond's construction of It. Then
they were guilty of the Inconceivable folly
ot nominating a free silver bluthersklta
for governor, possibly with some Idea of
placating the offensive and defeated ele
ment he represented.
Thero iwas a sort of understanding. It
Is claimed, thnt he Was to leave tha silver
question alone In his speeches and not
make the discrepancy between tho plut-
form and the views of the candidate si
glaring as to disgust the voters. But if' Just for the licnellt of Portland. It

The result Is that Hardin Is cutting i
his ownthroat as fast as he can. The
nonesi- money ue.nocrats urn disheart
ened and disgusted, and tho more Inde-
pendent of them will bolt him. The Courier-Journal
Is painfully silent. The
other Louisville Democratic papers, with
one exception, either denounce their can
didate or say unhesitatingly that the

on a riiiiid money plntform outtht to lie

IGNORANT ABUSE OF LABOR 8.W
LU MACHINERY.
Chicago Tribune.
Saturday the People's party of mis
county held a convention to nominate
drainage trustees und a Judge. Among
the resolutions offered was one written
by a delegate named .McDonald, who pro
posed to abolish the use of labor-caving
mhciunery and make the legal work day .
six hour. 1
Evidently this delegate had been Im-
presed by the declaration of tho Eng-
llch blatherskite, Hardle, that labor-sav- !
Ing Inventions have been an Injury to the 1
worKingmen. 110 seems to hav on Idea
Ih.i It tl. ... Wl. I
that If the use of machinery were stunned
thero would be so much more Kibor to
he done that nobody would be title, ami
that yet there would not bo so much
more -work to be done but that six hours'
dally work on the part of each toiler
would tultlce to do It.
t Is oild that any man, even In a con
vention of cranks, should couple to
gether a demand for the abandonment
ot the nsa of machinery and for shorter
hours. The securing of the rlrst would
make the obtaining of the second lm :
possible. The shorter working hours or

or fourteen were not won bv labor aiH.

"'a''-
If the people of lt I'nlted States were
to al andon the use of labor saving ma-
chini ry and try to produce annually as i
much as they do new. every man. worn-
nd child of them would -have to !
work twenty-four hours a day InMe.id j
of six, and even then th product would .
be but a fraction of what It is now. 1

work hard, producing little, and earning
next to nothing. They are miserably
fed, clothed and housed.
Tlu abandonment of machinery woui'i
not deplete the ranKs or uncmpioyco
ot deplete the ranks of unemployed,
ut Would swell them, for, owing to the
lilficulty and ejcpeiislvenosa of iIoUib
lings by hard work, much would be left
ndone which Is done now. This Popis-

undone
list delegate seems to think that If no
dredges or rock-cutting and lifting ma
chines were employed on the drainage
channel there would be work there at
good wages for many times the number
of men employed now. But If that chan
nel had to be dug or cut by hand, labor
In this city never would have undertaken
It, and the men working there now would
have nothing to do.
It Is unfortunate that Hardle and his
American Imitators cannot be shipped
to China and compelled to stay there
long enough to "become familiar with life
in a country which does not want ma
chinery. Then they should be made to
travel westward so that they might ob
serve how hvira grow shorter, wages
higher and life t.:i'cr, as the use made
of machinery Is mo.j extensive. That
trip might cure' them .and they might
come to understand the magnitude of tne
debt the worklngman owes to the brains
of the Inventor.
A CONGRESSMAN.
Major C. N. Clark, of Missouri,
Aibany a Visit.
Pays
(Albany Dally Democrat.)
.Major C. N. Clark, congressman from
the first district of Missouri, was In the
city, after a trip through the valley, on
his way to Newport, where Mrs. C.ark Is
stepping, a guest of ner si3tar, Mrs. Taft.
They came to the coast primarily for
the benefit of Mrs. dark s health,, inci
dentally so that Mr. Clark might ob
tain a better Idea from a personal In
spection of the needed river f;nd har
bor Improvements of the northwest, the
probability being that he will foe on the
river and harbor committee In the next
congress. Major Clark Dears the dis
tinction of being the first Republican
representative from Missouri since 1S7D.
He Is a man of great experience as a
lallroad builder and contractor, In fact
originated the jetty Idea, building the
first Jetty on the Mls.iis.ilpp! In U72-4.
Tho editor of the Democrat, learning
of Mr. Clark's presence In the city, called
upon him nt the St. Charles, not for a
formal interview, for the Democrat Is
not an Interviewer, but to meet one of
the prominent men of tlio United States,
one In whom lOre.Tonlans particularly
need to be Interested on account of the
probability of his having a position on
the river and harbor committee. Mr.
Clark Is a pleasant appearing, Khrewd-
'.ouklng gentleman of nbout 60. He treat
ed the Democrat man very courteous. y;
but remarked that newspaper interviews
were very distasteful to him, as he had
no desire for notorlity, and besides they
generally were not correct versions of a
person's statements. The one In . the
Oregonlan, for Instance, did not do him
Justice, as It would lead the reader to
believe that he wis opposed to river nna
harbor Improvements, whereas, as a
matter of fact, he was very much In fa
vor of tliem where needed, us his record
would show; but vould make ihem in a
business way. Yaqulria, for Instance,
had been Improved by driblets for 13
years where the work could have been
done In three. The appropriation was
expended, and (he work allowed to re
main n ii t IT the next appropriation, when
it took nearly half to -epalr that al
ready dune, whereas It should be kept
moving until completed, a very level
headed proposition. Mr. Clark was fa
vorably Impressed with Yaquma as a
const harbor, and Is In favor of Its Im
provement In a business way nnd as ex
tensively as circumstances will Justify,
In reference to the Columbia ho sees
what Is undoubtedly dlscernable to many,
that when Astoria secures ft railroad the
mouth of the Columbia will become a
harbor, and the river this Ride will not
need continued extensive improvements

SONG OF A SAILOR.
Up fall! Tho breeze Is fair;
We'll leave the land a-lec;
There's never a mesh of care
On the broad, bright, open sea.
What though the west wind veer,
And the sky grows grim as hate,
We'll whistle away all fear
And laugh In the face of fate.
O, a free song
For a free song,
With a tang of the swishing brine,
That shall make the light
In the eye leap bright
Like the tingling taste of wine!
Once we have won tho waste
Where never was man's foot set,
Adieu to the stress of hasle
And the worn world's dream cf fret!
Now for the clearing eye,
And the heart abisHt with glee!
Under the gicat blue sea
O, a free song
For a free song.

tion between two literary ladle3 In which
"Favorite Prescription," was mentioned
.vith extravagant praise, and had Jumped
to the conclusion that It was a book.
She now knows that Dr. Pierce's Favor
ite Proscription is n sovereign cure for
tho Ills and "enknes?s" peculiar to
women, for she 'has been cured by Its (
use. Send for a free panphlet, or remit
