How to bring about a condition in which every person shall actually have .aa equal chani-3 with every other per- Lson is the problem which confronts the Makers of tha civilized world to-day. Tho question is already attracting a jrreat deal of attention, not merely from labor organizations and farmers' alliancrs,' but also from men in all classes, and especially thoss who de vote their whole time and attention to tfie study of economic problems.

Reform Journal. -Z WAIT AND SEE. ,"We have heard tha belief expressed that the farmers and laborers of Jack son county are so poor in spirit that they will be too cowardly to stand by the Peoples' Party and their principles When the party whip is flourised and fh corrupt path of the old parties is wheeled around to them. To all such as entertain such false ideas there is a revelation in store. " This movement does not depjnd upon agitation; there rri.fftV been no haste or enthusiasm. Etery step nas oeen ine resun oi euuea tio'n, deliberation thought and enlight- rened judgement. Like the grip of the fitoe, it is slow, but, oh, so surely bring ing the powir of an Injured people to bear upon corrupt political rings, which f-nrst give place to justice and right. Such being tne case, it can not oe siue tracked by sham battles or by false friends; the issue must be met and met fairly. And those ' vho doubt either the wisdom or sincerity of the great common people to stand by their plat form and elect men upon it next June and November will learn something as time progresses. Wait and see. . SOME OE THE REMEDIES FOR . : THE DEBT. " " Pirst we must have a constitutional invention;" aud why thi3 constitu'. Lional convention? So as to amend' the of 8 per cant, amounting to the sum of $12,000 annually,' we would only pay-3 or 4 per cant interest with an annual saving to the county of six or seven thousand dollars. Now, iu ordeiv to procure this convention we must have men go to the legislature with the ability . to do service, and not only men of ability, but honest men men with some stamina and force of con viction to carry out vhatthcy baliove to ba tha bast intarosfcsof the people. Then again, we must have our state laws so ninendsd as to reduce the fees in all fee offices, and thoy will boar definite reduction. No county in the sUvts of Oregon pays larger foes than Juckson and very few pay as much. A very plain examplo of the feo out rage b that of the sheriff of Jackson county putting 111 a bill of so many folios of writing for giving tax-payers a recoipt for their taxes amounting to a grand total of several hundred dol lars,, or about ton cents for each re ceipt ,'given. This exorbitant fee gathering is a. result of the sheriff's SUiti convention for the purpose of united effort in capturing (?)criminals, but the result seems to bi a closer study of the fee law, for saltish motives simply. The Tidings perhaps will say, "Oh this was not our republioaa sheriff, it was tin democrats that mads the d jbt, aud do is the law not allow this foa to bo collected, aud would not you or any other man taka all thj law allowj you?" We h ivo to say, pirhaps, this is only too true, but We doubt that being a legal fed very much. Th j Times in an article of March 2-, in regard to the county debt ys that Judge Boisj s decision only op- plied to a special tax, which is true, and then a little further on says that in the face of Judge Boise's decision it was useless to contsst, and tho bill was ordered paid. Now this is vary strange; who everh:ard of it bJing useless to cantist acw in th; fa:e of n decision by a circuit jude and that decision have referencs tj an entirely different case. The bill presented for such work should have been ignored and the pavm-jnt of it wis an ojtra a oa an intelligent peep!?. Tb-ja, again, admitting it to have been in ref erence t the same case, th j decision of a circuit judge is not su preme, and being in another district, would in fact have had but little bear ing on this district, and would only have been a decision of a circuit judge, which is often reversed by a suprem ; judge, which decision alone establishes the law. Jackson county has an In come of over tTH.OOJ annually, and give us economy in the management of af fairs, (we mean iu every branch, thi circuit as well as the county court) and it will only be a few short years when Juckson ounty's debt will b a thing of the past. But to do this requires no child's play, but skillful s'-eorin And summing up what the People's party demands, and is geing to havo is a constitutional convention, a reduction of fees in all fje onl-e.s if not the placing of all thj county officers on a regular s:Uary.- Away with our pres ent road systim. n-nend of the as sessment laws: in fact, let economy be written on every comer of our banner, and victory is assured. SL'B-TRE-SCKY PLAN. A brother from O.-egon asks, ia re gard to tho sub-treasury plan, as fol lows: la section 4 his bill provMfd that this moiyy shall be a full legal tender for all debid; both public and private. Then why i-hould the bit! provide i-i s -ction 0 for the d .-struction not onlvof the monfy issued, but of an other l.iwful money returned in place of that issued? Now if the money issued is b.isod on the products, and other law ful moa-.-v recoived.and d troyed and th-3 products released, where is your" base to ths money Issued.' l on see your base has been" rvdeem-nl ami sold, removed, while the money issued on it is still in circulation nd probably an equal amount of gold ana silver or other lawful mon y has been cancelled and destroyed. Th-en why base money on any particular product? When the lav make-i money a full legal tender for all debts and taxes, if it was yet b tsed on all products of tho natiou and th;n specified, it would not mike th" money any bettir. for if tho law was overthrown ' by an enemy., bo'h the mony and the title to all products would be worthless. And again, if money is once created and made a full legal tender, absolute money, why de stroy it ally Why not ray it out again, or loan it to someone els-;? I think money once made should never be de stroyed. In fact, all the finaieUl dis tress of the agricultural nnd laboring classes of this country to-day is th ? di rect result of the destruction of th trreenback and the convertuicr of their allies into nontaxable intribt-be:tring lion is. In th last part of section 5 his bill provides that all wurehou-e re ceipti shall lie negotiable by indorse ment. How this gUvs tho specnlator a chanci to buy up warehouse receipts and corner the products. I ' would strike out that provision and add the following: No warehouse receipts shall be issued to .ny one but the actual producer of the products, and receipts. shall not bo transferable. I think this change is ef great import ance and deserves your earnest cou- sidcratoo. I alio bali-evo the amount of money loaned to one person should bo limited. It is not tho intention of tho sub treasury plan as advocated by the Allianca that the money Issued upon the non-perishable products of agricul ture should bo any peculiar money or in any way differ from other troasury notes which are a full legal tender Tho reason for destroying the auxili ary volume or its equivalent is to pre vent a relative increase in the volume of menoy as it Is liberated from the products of affrioulturo by their con sumption. If the money so liberated was loft in circulation, tho sarao dis crimination against agriculture which now exists would be Continued. The tub-treasury does not propose a new financial system; it simply proposes a modification of tho present system, so fair te all, and stop the d s iminations against agriculture which from violen fluctua'ionR in tho relative' volume of money. To in crease the volume of money some other plan will be necessary.' Of course the only money' that would ba destroyed under the old bill would be treasury notes, as national bank notes and coin certificates are a peculiar ' money and call for a specific redemption independ ent of th government credit.

The Treasury Department is alarmed at the grave and impending danger of an overwhelming invasion of Chinese coolies into the Pacific Coast States from British Columbia. The Chinese Exclusion Act expires by limitation three weeks from the 18th, and uuless some restrictive legislation is enactnd in tho mean time there will be nothing to prevent Chinaman from entering tho Uuited States. It is true that there is a division of sentimeut as to tho time of the expira- lion of tho Exclusion Act, but at the Treasury DupnrtBvent to-day it is said that the department will hold the law to expire May 0th aud, of coursi, will instruct its agent at the border in ac cordance with this decision. Conse quently, overy bar will be let down aud they will swarm over the line. Tho Chinesj Inspectors on the border and iu British Columbia havo notified the department that thousandsof Chi namen who are congregating on , the border are aware of their coming op portunity, and will hasten to avail themselves of it. The Minister of Customs at Ottawa has discovered a plot by which au or-1 giuiization in China is smuggling nese into Canada on bogus certificates, A large number of fraudulent certifi- catcs have been captured, and are in ; the Customs Denartment there. It is; beleivcdthata larg-e number of Chi-i nese have betn run into the United ' Suites in th : same way. Alliance Notes.

INSIST ON HAVING Dr. Price's Cream Baking Powder, TAKE NO It Contains Neither Alum, Ammonia, or Any Other Adulterant. Rithardfon't ''Distntet of Modern Life" The action of ammonia oh tho body is that of an irritant and it tends to hold tho blood in a stato of fluidity. It also interferes with the process of oxidation ot organic matter so that it becomes an antiseptic, and it rapidly decomposes that allotropic condition of oxygen which is called ozouc. Thus ammonia present in the atmosphere, daily respired by living beings, is injurious aud we seo its effects in the pallor and feebleness of ninny who dwell in houses in tho air of which ammonia is ' always present houses over stables, for example, or iu close proximity to decomposing organic refuse. Liebig . tho celebrated chemist, says of alum, that It is very apt to disorder the stomach and to occasion acidity and dyspepsia. For prosecuting attorney, of this district, U. S. Mitchell, of Grants Pass was nominated. V. II. Par ker, of Jacksonville, was nomin ated a member of btate Central committee. COMMUNICATIONS: WHAT ARE WE FIGHTING.

Duriug tho hist session of the legisla ture the state was redistricted and the number of congressmen increased from eight to nine. Nothing short of a miracle can elect a Republican, yet the Alliance will take a hand, and in many districts seems to hold the winning hand. With the single exception of Congress man Joe Wheeler, iu the Eighth district, every member of the Ahibniaa delega tion who stands for re-election will have to win his seat over an Allhuico man. President Totk for the Third Pkrty. The organ of the North Carolina Al liance, The Progressive Farmer, of which President L. L. Polk is the editor, has declared iu a recent issue for the third party and a national ticket. The announcement is as follows: "The Al liance is uot so particnlar about having its principles in a stute platform. It wants them in a national platform, where they will mean something. It knows that the men who are elected state officers cant give the needed re lief. It knows that Washington i the place, and tho men who go to congress aud the national administration are the ones it must look to, and it will do its best to secure the election of the right men to these places." Treat the Movement with Iletpect. Some pretty sensible advico to poli ticians and Democratic papers is offered in an editorial in a recent issne of the Atlanta Constitution. It shows that the third party movement commands at least the respect of farseeing men and thoughtful writers. The article says: The Nashville American says there are some reasons w hy the agricultural classes, above all others, should culti- rate close allegiance to the Democratic '. party. '.'''." The American alludes to the tariff and class legislation of the Rcpnbiican party, and then remarks: "The Oeala demands are as hostile to the Democracy of Jefferson and Jackson 2 as is Republicanism. "What is the subtreasnry scheme but an open violation of the constitution, the twin sister in principle of the force bill? "Government ownership of the rail roads and the telegraph are the logical jrs. sequences of Republican principles. "These and sundry like measures ad vocated by the Fanners' Alliance would, if adopted, subvert and destroy all con stitutional guarantees and safeguards, change the very nature of onr institu tions, and in the end substitute for state authority the despotic dominion of the general government." This is a poor way to conciliate the farmers and convince them that they should stick to the Democracy. The fact is. this is not a fair statement of the situation. The Ocala demands are not undemocratic, and they are not unconstitutional. Government owner ship of railroads is not one of the Ocala demands. Government control and su- jm pervision of railroads was asked for ax . the Ocala conference. The Alliance men know the history of onr government and they know that it has more than once loaned money tocor pomlions and individuals, and sometimes without interest and with no reasonable prospect of being repaid. They know, too. that the currency should te a me- dium of exchange for the people, and not be parceled out to nanoaal bamcs oniJor wMch ny amot to the financial .outlawry of the farmers. In view of these facts The American should abandon its licy of talking down the Alliance men. Just such talk has already driven Democrats into the third party. The new organization is the result of the bulldozing methods of certain Democrats who have threatened to thet Alliaace men out of the P3?7' . .
