while we (earn the t ratio of govern

it for a day. We will make an auto

Now that we have a place in the
Orient we of the I'aciflc will not have
longer to look after the Intercuts of
the Nicaragua canal. We will not
need the canal an we did a few year
ago. It is the Atlantic people who
will. However It will be two or
three years before It is open, and we
will have time, if we are upry, to
eHtablitth our poHltion in the world of
commerce and can with auccew- meet
the couipeltion of our eastern neigh
bors. A Philippine "general" don't want
to . become a colony of the United
States because we do not know how
to govern colonies. That "general"
will, If he keeps out of the range of
MacArthur's.Krag-Jorgensen", come
to know the quality of American
government. The United States
knows how to practice justice and
merry bow to be honest and faithful.
The quality of those virtues it univ
ersally the same and will be observed
In Luaon as in Massachusetts.

For the first time In wot-th, Wal'a
Walla wheat carguM were quoted at
SOahiUings io Liverpool yenlerday,
an advance of 3d lo 6-1 per quarter on
Thursday's quotation. One of the
two upot ships la Portland wa offered
at 3im 9d oa Thursday, but y terday
her owuer dciranded 4us. Then
fact eiplalu pretty thoroughly why
the Portland wheat market dots not
always respond to advance in other
market. The intelligent farmer un-
derntaad the aituatioo, but oraclm
like the Ilillsboro Independent an I
one or two other sheets of a similar
stripe solemnly assert that it is the
"railroad pool" and the "Portland
wheat ring" that force the shipowner
on the other side of the world toad
vance his rales whenever the im
provement in the foreign wheat
market gives him an opportunity to
do so. Oregonian Sept. 30.
Now as to whether there is a
"wheat ring" In Portland or a "rail
road pool" the I.vdei-endent nu
nc! Information sufficient to form a
belief. The Independent to the
best of its recollection bus never umdi
such assertions. The Independent

nues that "in a word, the river I- a
regulator of freight rates. To abolish
the tell means W off of every carlond
of produi-e and merrnandine bhips d
from valley points to Portlund, aid

Mr. Tongue Oregon moht certainly
has a most able and energetic reprc-
attention to several things which
looked like facta and "wanted t"
know, you know." For instance it
baa been curious about the cause of
the difference in the price of wheat
iu Portland, a port only 100 miles
from tie sea, and Chicago, 1000
miles from salt water. It hasst emed
that the long land haul ought, to torn-
exeut, to offset interest and insur
ance. Why there should be more
than ten cents per bushel difference
in the price of wheat in the market
on the same date is what this "strip,
ed" paper can not understand, though
the Oregonian' "intelligent farmer"
may.
The above paragraph from the Or-
egoniau seems to indicate that th
price of wheat is regulated by the
price of freight. The "ring" appears,
therefore, to be in with the ships.
But that shillings quotatiou Is not
quite plain to us out here; so let's see
how it appears in our money : de
duced 38 shillings is 19 43 cents per
ton and 40 shillings is J0.73, or a dif
ference ol 30 ctt per ton of 33 bushels
1JI PORTS ASD EXPORTS F0U SINE YEARS.
From paragraphs that have appeared la many of the opposition
papers and a few that have been supposed to be friendly to the adminis
tration, it begins to appear that the tsrriff arguments of I8!W will be uted
again in 1900. One favorite squib was the asertiou if we invaded the
markets of the world, with our manufacturers, we must admit raw mat
erial free so that our artizins could afford to "compete with foreigners.
That idea is proven to be untrue. Uur exports are greaier than ever before
and increasing continually. The cry no is a variation of thoold tune.
"If we Invade the markets of the world with our manufacturers we
must buy in return or we cannot expect to export." The best answer to
tnU It what we. are doing. Uur exports are increasing and our imports
deoreHsing compared to what they were under the Wilson tariff act.
There are thrae or foureolums of figures presented herewith that ought
to settle the rnalter: " .
The North Yamhill Ilecord seems
to take kindly to what the Indepen
dent said about the smoked meal
trust but wants a way painted out ti
suppress the trust. In the article the
Independent pointed to a remedy
but it doea not suit the Ilecord. The
thing pointed out was an industrial
remedy. The Ilecord will be satisfied
with nothing but a political remedy,
The suppression of the Portland
meat trust is In the the hands of
farmers and stockmen themselves.
The farmers of North Yambil should
ship a car load of meat per day, but
It la safe to guess that there are not
two car loads of meat now on hand
In the whole valley, which being the
fact, what an opportunity for form
lug a meat trust!
The Brs and English In South
African rre facing- each other and
snarling seen; Ingly each wating for
au overt act. The Iloers to be
fullv Drettarcd for the fray while
their opponents are yet making hur
ried preparations. The English will
not on the dry, hot plains of South
Africa find the same foe that Kl eh
euer did on the Nile where the wild
hordes charged en masse on to the
Briton's machine guns. The mac
hine irun will not be as effective
against the civilized South African
who will fight in open formation
and as a sharp-shooter. The trans
portation problem is bothering the
llrltish as It did us last year. Hut
the funny Dart is that England in
burying canned beef in the open
American market same as we did
Unly Alger and Eagau are not the
purchasing agents.
Home months ago a number of
firms In Portland formed themselves
Into an organization and assumed
the name of Philippine Trading Co.,
and sent an agent to Manila. This
ajrent at once busied himself selling
tha immBi handled by his firm in
Portland. He did more lie agita
tMl lb Drt lect of establishing a
aaaaaisbia litw blwen Manila and
Portland. At first the Manila pro-
ale thought they muat go to S-attle,
bat when the situation and connec
tions were fully explained, Portland
was selected for the American termi
nus of the line. This fact was com
municated to the Portland company
la Saturday. The first Steamer will
leave Portland in Hecrmber. This

I bought a box of Ir. Williams'

our surprise, before it was used up
her headaches ceased, the color
began to return to her cheeks and
