FALSE l'KKMISK.
The East Oregoniau and Times-Mountain-eer
jre having a discussion on Ihe subject
of the policy of patronizing home Indus
tries as against the same industry in an
other state. The East Oregonian affirms
that it is nat good policy to do so unless
the home article is as cheap or of superior
quality, while the Mountaineer asserts that
ound policy would require a man In Ore
gon to patronize his home industry rather
than that of New York, Chicago, San
Francisco or thei town at a distance.cven
though the price of the article was twice
that manufactured in the city or place at a
sjiitance. This is a mere theory, and has
ns place in the practical business tr;nMic-
tons of life. How manv farmers who
profess to believe implicitly in this doc
trine of the Mountaineer who,neverthele
send abroad for the wagons and plows an
doens of other articles which might
made at home if these same farmers wou
patronize them. And whv do thev not
patronize them ? Simply because the arti'
cle made abroad can be bought cheaper.
The argument of the Mountaineer that
newspapers published in the east are much
cheaper than the East Oregonian, and that
if the policy of the East Oregoniau should
prevail, then the people of Pendleton an
Umatilla county would and should support
the eastern papers'and thus crush out tl:
East Oregonia is fallacious wrong in its
premise and false in its conclusion. It i
based on the premise that the cheap east
ern newspaper is the same article as th
local paper in Pendleton. The citizen of
Tendleton when he receives the Dailv Eas,
Oregonian reads the local news, local prices
and other matters peri.aining to the local
interests of the people of his town and
county. This is what he takes his local
paper for. Should he take up a copy
the daily New York World ox Tribune, not
five times in a year would he find an ite
01 local news appertaining to nis Njwn
Henc. the two papers compared by the
Mountaineer are not one and the same
thing at all, and the comparison of prices
leads to no rational conclusion. Suppose
the owners of the Eas: Oregonian should
publish a neivspaptrin all respects similar
to the New York World, the same in size,
the same reading matter, the same lack o
local news and local prices as to Pendleton
ana (leurer It to its readers at the same
date as the World is delivered, and put the
price at twice the price of the World, docs
any one suppose that the people of Pendle
ton would give the Pendleton paper any
support ? Of course not,and yet the Moun
taineer mi'st suppose they would be silly
enough to do so, in order to maintain its
position in favor of our present war tariff.
Anent the scramble for onice, is It not
strange that the disreputable in a paity have
very little trouble in getting the endorsement
of the Oregon senators and representative for
an iniKrtant office? 1 hat a man who publicly
sold his political soul fur a mess of pottage
should obtain such an endorsement is not
creditable to the good faith and good judgement
of Mitchell, llolnh and Hermann.
Some ardent republican has predicted that
Harrison will have a very sunny administration.
If the prediction had been that it would he a
sonny one, there would be no occasion to doubt
it, lor Harrison is the .ton of his father and so
ol Fred Grant, Robert Lincoln and others, but
that the administration is to be sunny is a
desire without hope.

Senator Stanford of California, speaking of
railroad building says: "It will not be long until
a railroad will reach all the way up to Alaska
When it gets there it will trend across Uehring
sea, and down into Asia. All this.I believe, will
be done in 25 years and there will be literally
an iron girdle arcund the earth. It's no harder
to build a road down the Himalayas than to
build across the Sierra Nevada or other places
where roads have been built. Snow sheds ran
and will be ruilt, the same as we have over
the Sierra Nevadas" for 40 miles. Behring sea
is the worst obstacle, but a w ay would be found
to conquer even that, The reason why the
road through is feasible, is because it would be
a long line and could be deflected according to
the obstacles to he overcome, I havj
doubt that in 25 years a min can go ch
around the earth by rail.
