Daily Democrat ARE WE A NATION OF BEG0AR3 ? The regularity with which the great mo nopolies and highly protected interesttbob up to greet the yariout senatorial commit tees that during the vacation season are perambulating the country seeking after information and the unanimous err for more protection, higher duties and subsi dies, is attracting the attention of all ob- ;rvant men. This feature is all the more striking as it brings out in strong contrast tae activity of the tariff fed industries as compared with the comatose 6tate of tn consumers, and comtno.i people who must of necessity suffer if the demands are granted. The result of the organization cf capital is apparent, for the cry is a uniform one to the extent that more tax is desireo upon foreign articles that they may be ex cluded and great subsidies requirea to sup port foreign trade. Thus.in San Francisco, the senate committee is informed that Mexico and British Columbia will destroy us unless we shut them out entirely, -while the committee that is considering the way to head off tiie Canadian Pacific railway and its enterprise learns of the dange.- that confronts us from other coun tries. This wail calls forth an indignant protest from many sources but nowhere have we seen a more pertinent one than appears in a recent number of the Alia CaliftrnU, which says : "The spectacle is calculated to humble American pride. We are afraid to deal with other people on the basis of exchange of products and insist upon being paid in cash for what they get of us. We bite every coin for fear it may bs counterfeit and sit and snivel over the results of enterprise in other countries and ask our government to give us money to stop our crying and complaints. Next 4th of July, instead of sewing red stripes down our trousers legs and straddling holiday car horses and be-goshing at all mankind, let us meet and pass resolutions that are equal to none and excelled by all and will go to the poorhouse unless we are pro tccted and subsidized. Let us take the goddess of liberty off the shield and great seal and put Oliver Twist there with bowl and spoon asking Uncle Sam for 'more.' " The picture thus presented gives us a unique representation of our position, but is it not deserved ? Our orators tell us that there is no land like curs, that no other country has such a wealth of fertile plains and valleys, such stores of precious metals, such magnificent rivers.beauliful lakes and lofty mountains ; our citizens are the mot ingenious and patriotic ; our government the pride of liberty loving people all over the world and our flag floats over a nation the grandest on the face of the globe ; yet we appear by the records of the senate committees as a nation of beggars and cowards, praying for governmental jid and protection, r.fraid of our own shadows and trembling at every spook that paity neces sity raises. It is time that the common people of the country rose and repudiated such attempts to degrade the standard of American manhood, since they come only from sources that would build themselves up at the expense of the great whole. Let the rank and file declare the continued force and power of the country, regardless of those who would even drag the dignity of a great people down if thereby they can reap there.vards. But not only the dig nity but the true prosperity of the people is assailed. Everything that leads to the building up of classes tends to destroy the interests of the people as a whole and turns the government from its proper course. obtain them by sending their names and addresses to the Census Omce,and,with the Register, an official envelope which re quires no stamp w ill be provided fur their return to Washington. If all medical and surgical practitioners throughout the country will lend their aid, the mortality and vital statistics of the Eleventh Census will be more comprehen sive and complete than they have ever b;en. Every physician should take a per sonal pride in having this report as full and accurate is it is possible to make it. It is hereby promised that all informa tion obtained through this source shall be held strictly confidential. Robkrt 1. Porter, Supt. of Census. VITA!, STATISTICS. The attention of the medical profession is called to the following circular letter from the tupcrintendent of the census. Upon the profession will depend the com pleteness of the census of vital statistics. Let ali assist in the work : v AsiiiNCiTox, 1. C, May 1, 1SS9. To the Medical Profrgfitn : The various medical associations and the medical profession will be glad to learn that Dr John S Dillings, Surgeon U S Army, has consented to take charge of the report on the Mentality and Vital Statistics of the United States as returned by the Eleventh Census. As the United States has no system of registration of vital statistics, such as is ie lied upon by other civilized nations for the purpose of ascertaining the actual move ment of population, our census affords t'.i: only opportunity of obtaining near an ap proximale estimate of tlit birth and rl- ,:.h rates of much the larger part of the i:i u:i try, which Is entirely unprovided with any satisfactory system of state and municipal registration , C In view of this, the Census Ofi'.ce,durlng the month of May this ear, will issue to tie medical profession throughout the CJunlry "Physician's Registers" for the purpose of obtaining more accurate re turns of deaths than it is possible for the enumerators to make. It is earnestly hop cd that physicians n every part of the country will co-opt rate with the Census Office In this important work. The record should be kept from June t, 1SS9, to May 31, 1890. Nearly 26,000 of these registra tion books were filled up and returned to the office In 1SS0, and nearly all of them used for statistical purposes. It Is hoped that double this number will be obtained for the Eleventh Census. Physicians not receiving registers can The first paper mill in America was built at Roxborough, near Philadelphia, in 1690, and I the first paper maker was William Rittenhouse, Steps are being taken toward the celebration of his bi-centennial, and a gathering of pi per makers and printeis is urged Horatio Gales Jones has sent circulars to those interested, calling far expressions of opinion relative to the character of the observation. The commercial associations in the' grain trade in London are considering the measures to be taken for diminishing the impurities in East India wheats exported to Great Britain. This dirt sometimes amounts to between eight and nine per cent, of the total weight, France and Italy refuse to import sach dirty wheat, giving preference to American and Russian wheats. About 10,000 Democrats have been removed by Harrison's headsmen since March 4. As a Democratic administration was about Sooo be hind this record in the same length of time, we suppose this demonstrates the truth of the alle gation that civil service is only safe in Republi can ha-uls. An extensive deposit of mineral wax that has been for a long time overlooked was discovered in Utah three years ago, on the line etf the Denver and Rio Grande railroad. Over 1000 tons ayear are secured. It resembles beeswax and may be used for the same purposes. NEW ADVERTISEMENT. Ci IRL WANTED.-Todoironeralhouso-I" work in city. Call at Democrat of fice.
