HihmiIuI ('rrn.M)iilnni. The great thinker of the age, Loo XIII, who lovei to be called the ijontiir of the workingnian, writcH: "The nad niintake that is made in to poHttettH onenelf of the idea that claw is liOHtile to clatss; that rich and poor are intended by nature to live at war with" one an other. So irrational and so fake Ih this view that the exact con trary is the truth. One requires the other capital can not do with out labor, nor labor without cap ital. Mutual agreements result in pleasantness and good order, per petual conflict necessarily produces confusion and outrage. The inter ests of capital and labor are inter twined and interdependent. One draws its power and life from the other, the one perishes with the other." The fruitful ness of capital, the grandeur and the strength of the nation, are nnaeo wiwi moor and rise and fall with social con ditions. Intelligence, bodily vigor,' contentment of heart add a hun dredfold to the productivuess of capital, which at the same time is put to its highest use and serves best its divine purpose when it is employed as to lift fellowmen up ward in the scale of mental and social life. Labor is in absolute need of the co-operation of capital. For what purpose is your muscular strength unless capital is nigli to reward it? Without capital, be there millions of willing working- men, factory doors remain closed, lields are untitled, mines hold their treasures in concealment, no ships nlow on the seas, no railroads span continents. Without capital labor is H latent unproductive energy. Why, today are there among us legions of unemployed? Because capital hides away from us. It is an easy matter in club rooms and in public streets to discuss capital and its obligations and to mark out the channels through which it should flow in order to reach our own hands. As a matter of fact, cap ital emerges into public light, or hides itself in vaults, at its own good pleasure. It is timid of its life, make it insecure, it wm snun vou. and leave you to beat the air with idle arms. The laws oi tne financial world are as inflexible as those of the four seasons ot the vpar: the state or the country in which, through mob riots or oppres- iv legislature enactments, prop- in endangered or made unpro ductive will surely be abandoned to their owu sterile resources, lne outcry against capital is occasional ly ludicrous, if it were not custress- rnuin its possible consequences. "We will not," said a man, "toil to nnv interest to foreigners holding bonds and stocks of American in dustries and railroads." Very well; but these foreigners will not send over their money to build up their f,.f.tnries. and construct your rail roads, in which case you will pay to no interest, but neither win you earn bread for yourselves. What is needed in all controversies, is common sense, in the presence of which a hundred wild theories mlt. .wav and a hundred compli cations find quick solution. This is an age of reason, as distinguisnea from previous ages of semi-barbarism and brute force. Why can not nations as well as individuals cease putting their pride in their power to murder men and arbitrate their differences? And why can not employes and employers equally avoid discord by peaceful arbitration, avoiding strikes as the euro of all evils. . Shipment ot Fruit. The Oregon Fruit & Produce Co. Bold and Bhipped east yesterday (Saturday) a carload of dried prunes and raspberries and at very good figures, everything considered. The shipment consisted of 4,461 pounds of raspberries at 15 cents per pound; 11,970 pounds of Italian prunes, grade 60-70, at 3 8-4 cents, and the following amounts and grades of French prunes: 2421 pounds 50-60 at 4 J cents; 591 pounds 60-70 at 4 cents; 3,233 pounds 70-80 at 3j cents; 180 pounds of 80-90 at 3 cents; 5,40 pounds of 90-100 at 2J cents; 1,078 pounds of 100-120 at 2 cents. When prunes are so small that it takes 100 to 120 to make a ponnd they are not worth evoporating. as it costs as much to handle them as larger ones, and the result does not pay. Salem Statesman. FREIGHT KATU8 ON FRUIT. Oregon Agriculturalist: During the season just closed more green fruit was shipped out of Ofrgon than during any present year. The returns are all in except a few instances where claims lor over charges of freight against the rail roads are in process of adjustment. Some shippers are satisfied with the returns, while others barely came out whole. In general imay be stated that the average net price to growers, after all picking and packing charges were deducted, was unsatisfactory. There were many reasons for this. Poor fruit and poor packing were important el ements in keeping down the price, but even the good quality and well packed fruit did not, as a rule, bring a sufficient high price to pay the grower a reasonable profit. There is a certain risk in shipping green fruit east, and all fruit grow ers cannot assume it. The large growerB has the advantage over the small, because that portion of the fruit intended to be shipped east in the green state can be directed to several markets, and the chances are gocd that the average price will at least return a small profit. J He then has his dried fruit tck fall back upon. The small growers, however, or the one just developing the busi ness, cannot afford to take any risks, and his green fruit ship ments should be confined to a small amount, and in co-operation with his neighbors, more as an ex periment, and as a means of becom ing acquainted with the business, so that In the future, when hisor chards are increased, and his , fruit more abundant, he will know the details, and be able to decide what to do. Of one thing we are convinced. The present freight rates on fruit from Oregon to eastern points are too high. We are sure all shippers of fruit, either green or dried, will agree with us on that point At the present rates, and based on prices obtained in the east this year on green fruit, the railroad receive more than one-half the gross value of the fruit in the eastern market. The knowledge of this makes shippers very cautious, and a continuance of the present rates will tend to limit shipments of green fruit, and increase shipments of dried. This will work a direct injury to the railroads, because as the green fruit shipments decrease, and dried fruit shipments increase, the tonnage moved will decrease in proportion. A car of dried fruit represents 2 or 3 cars of green, and railroads would prefer to haul three cars at of a cent per pound, than one car at 1 cent It is there fore to their interest to make such rates as will tend to increase ship ments of green fruit Particularly bo is this the case in shipping goods from this coast, because more goods come from the east to this coast than . vice versa, and railroads would or should prefer to haul Highest of all to Leavening Power Latest U. S. Gov't Report vcy LLVVC cx back the cars loaded at a reasonable price, than emDty for nothing. The railroads could reduce rates on fruit a cent per pound, and green fruit shipments would be so greatly increased that the profits of the railroads would be larger than at present, and the tonnage moved eastward greatly increased, thus making use of many cars now handled empty. The reduction would do much for the state It would give an impetus to the fruit industry of Or egon which would soon place us in the front rank of fruit producing states. It would greatly help many growers who now find it difficult to make both ends meet. It would be a popular move, and stop many a growl against the railroads by the mass of people who depend up on reasonable rates to make their business return them a living. Death of Henry Crow. The Puyallup Citizen of October 25th, contains the appended notice of the death of Mr. Henry Crow, a former resident of this city. Mr. Crow was well known not only in this city but also throughout Southern Polk county. He and Mrs. Crow, who survives him, mov ed to Puyallup, Wash, several years ago. : We quote from the Citizen as follows: Died. In Tacoma. ou Saturday, October, 19th, of heart failure. Hen ry Crow, at the age of 8 years. Mr. Crow and his wife have been residents of Puyallup for several years, coming here from Oregon. They built a cottage in Maplewood Addition and were comparatively comfortable until the illness of Mr. Crow, since which time the con- stant earn and attention of the aged wife has taxed her strength considerably, although kind neigh bors and mends have always lent willing hands. The remains of the deceased were conveyed to this city, from the Fanny Paddock hospital ounaay mnrmnff. and the services were conducted at Mr. and Mrs. Crow's cottage at 2 o'clock p. m. by Rev. Prichard, and the remains were followed to a last resting place in Woodbine cemetery by the widow and many friends. Ballston Public School Report.
