SOUtHERN OREGON MAit, FRIDAY, SEPT 9. 1892. Result if W pay our Bsbts. ltlltor Southern Oregon Jlaii: - j "It i n maxim that no chain is stronger than its weakest link." This truth applied t3 olir govern ment causes the present unrest of Tur people. We at-c told again and again of the intelligence of our people, the Woiiderful fertility of our soil, our Batubridus climate, our raried pro ductions capable of sustaining with x in our own borders 500 million petiple, and we point with pride to eur great resources Mid compara tive happiness and prosperity with European nations. But what of all this great Strength if one link in our chain ef prosperity breaks; is not our government destroyed just as touch -as though ten links were broken? We have about $70,000,000,000 taxable property in the United Htates. Our interest hearing debt is ftfeout $30,000,000,000, nearly oi:-half our valuation. Let us sup pose th interest on that debt to be 6 percent, (lass by a considerable than the fact), then we havo to pay an annual interest of $1,800,000,000, this amount be paid every year, uw; where do "We get the money W pay it with T " ; ' . To make a statement as absolute With reference to the amount of Uioney in circulation, cannot be done. If any one knows, that man has not yet put in an appearance. Tae same papers reporting from the Same authority, differ at different times as far as the east is from the West, from the same documents of the eaine year.' At ene time they report $20 per capita and at another "time from the same $4.56, just as the interest of thai r case demands. Then alt we can do is to give them credit for the truth when they give US the most money (allbeit we know it ain't so) as the base for our circulation;- say ? 20 per capita, then we have in circulation $1,300,000, 000 to-pa v an annual interest of $1,800,000,000 with. Clearly there is ot ' money ; enough to pav one Jfft&k interest on $500,000,000. Be ilrf' '.Melf ui'urtbe evident to all th-.it we i; r I-' . cannot use all our money to pay in-j&i--i-rWt. with, as much of it must be need 'for 'other purposes. Again, --'Jayiujt interest adds nothing to the 'i.iC''.r"V wealth" of . the debtor, nor doc it "thepoerer. iut does he pay this vast fsum f interest?. Painly he does'not, and if all our circulating medium ttis so vissd, still there would be a denciencv the first vear of $500,000,000. .New suppose the tk-bt as well as the interest -shonld be demanded this vear, it must be evident to anv one that it wouid require one-half Of the wealth of tlus country to pay it. Capital already owns more than one-hrlf our wealth. Now can not anyone see that in a few months at most capital could own the entire wealth of our country and we would practically bo slaves. Now where is the difference, whether the demand is made all at Once or by piece-meal? Just this, to demand it gradually, enables ! rn I,. n,Hl.r(l,a( ,;n j - t -o - lasion that you still own your under that delusive homes' and nape that something will turn up in your lavor by and hy. and to gradually get you used to the gall ing chains of plutocratic slavery. But you must pay it in kind or in value, in kind under our present kysteiu of - finance you cannot in value then you must, though you re beggared and your children en slaved. This is the weak link and the test of the strength of our gov ernment, and it must be mended, And the delay must not be long if we ever hope to revive our dying fortunes. It will be rendered either by -kvoltjtion or revolution. Which? Iea Wakefield. . The Alliance On Top. ; Charleston, S. C, Aug. 30. The conservatives concede the state to Tillman by about 10,000 major ity, but claim three conservative congressmen: Brawley in the first, Hemphill in the second and John stone in the third districts. Shell, Alliance", Jd the? fourth district, is Jilsa returned. THE SOUTH CAROLINA PRIMARIES. Columbus,S. C, ' Ang. 31. The returns of . the primary elections held in the state yesterday are not yet completed. Complete returns from 19 counties out of 35 have been received. ,j According to these returns and the estimates Tillman's net majority will be 21,635. It ia safe to put it anywhere from 20,000 to 25,000. The reform party, which is composed largely of !, Farmer's Alliance men, will have five ef the seven congressmen from' this state. The legislature will be in sympathy with the administration and the ceuuty ofiices will be. filled-with re: formers in all but five -counties, which were filled by the conserva tives.'

It will b remembered that ithe Democratic State convention which sent delegates toChlJagrf,feti dorsed tlie Oo.tlit Alliance platform ddiiianded free coinage of silver and denounced Cleveland. It is un reasonable from these facts that South Carolina will elect a Cleve land electoral ticket this fall, and reasonably certain that the old Pal metto State will swing gloriously into the Weaver column On the ides of November. This will be good news to go to Arkansas on the 5th.

Vaxcoiveb, Wash., Aug. 31. The first step toward organization of the People's Party in this county was taken last night by the forma tion of a People's Party Club with 25 charter members. Nevada Convention. - Reno, Nev., Sept. 1. The silver Republican", in convention to-day, nominated F. O. New-lands for Con gress, but- passed the nominations for Presidential electors, which" is regarded as a virtual endorsement of the silver electoral ticket. The platform denounces Harrison for his antagonism to silver. Ha Has Become a Convert. Topeka. Kan., Sept. 2. James F. Legate, the Republican leader of Kansas, has joined the .Peoples Party. The Georgia Republicans have decided to support the People's Party ticket. . At the third annual rally of the People's Party in Riverside Park, Kansas, the procession " was over a mile long and had GtS teams. The crowd in attendance was estimated to be about S.000 and was very en thusiastic. Popular speakers ad dressed the multitude. Weaver badges, banners and bunting were everywhere. Talent Xews.

Frank Robinson laot week returned from California. He concludes that Wagner creek is good enough for him. On Sunday night last the fire that was raging on uppjr Wagner creek got uDcomfortadly near Win. ' Abbott's suw mill and Anderson's quartz mill and about forty people turned out to check it. It was noticed, "however, that the party or parties who sc.t the fire were conspicuous by their absence. S. Sherman received word last Mon dav that his daughter, Mrs. Alice Mc- Cumber, who has been temixn-arily stopping at Shook's in Klamath county j was accidentally snot in tne arm a iftw days since. Mr. S. left at once with the intention of bringing "her to Talent when she is able to ride. John Abbott and wife, James Beaty and wife and Mrs. A. L. Alford left ou the 22d ult. for Dead Indian on a weeks camping expedition. Mr. Abbott has been in poor health for several weeks past and we hope the. trip will have the desired effuct. Mrs. John Veit killed a' rattlesnake within a few feet of her house, a short time ago, that had seven rattles. Mrs. Carney Garvin-also killed one that was prowling around the milk house, which beats Mrs. Veit'a by three rattles, and yet men say that women aro afruid of snakes. j . The Shidlers are still camping at Mountain Springs and haying a good time. . Several of their friends on Wag n:r. creek have called to sec them. They hare an ideal camp secluded, picturesque, airy and complete in ar rangements. Should an artist stray along there he would find a scene well worth transferring to canvas. :tv Melvln Atwater and family have gone to Crescent City on a camping trip, also with a view to locate in that vicinity if suited with the country. 'M.H.Coleman and son Blin, have been down for several days past with malaria. S. M. Robison and wife and daughter Delia and Glrtie Purves left for Apple gate a few days since, to spend several days camping. "' A Phoenix gentleman located a claim on upper Wagner creek about two weeks ago. Having chosen a building site he attempted to burn off the rub bish. He is having splendid success. Several hundred acres are already burned oyer and the fire is still at work.

"boctor," said Mr. Bloolmmper to ReV. Dr. Thirdly, "do you think that in the next world we shall pursue the same vocations that we do in this?" "Some hold that opinion," re-, .plied the clergyman, cautiously ; 'but why do yon ask ? "If such was-the case, ' I was thinking our ice men would be itt. great luck." : Oregon, as usllal,; is having a fa vorable harvest season. Rain and sunshine never fail in this state when needed. This season, when 20 bushels to the acre is a good average, it is re freshing to hear of an old time wheat yield, says the Pendleton Tribune. One is reported from Jos. Wur.er's place on the foothills four miles east of Weston. Ninety acres have so far been threshed, and the grain is averaging no less than 50 bushels per acre. The quality is of course superb. A Corvallis paper produces the figures to show that the merchants there advertise less than the busi ness men of any other town of its size in the valley, and justly char ges them with a lack of enterprise. Pushing merchants aim to make their edges cut, and it has been abundantly proven that no other agency cun take the place of prin ter's Ink. The Slate of Oregon began an ac tion against Multnomah county in the state circuit court one uav re cently to compel the payment of taxes alleged t-:i bo due. - The project of lowering the water in the upper Klamath lake, thereby reclaiming a vast area of agricul tural land, Becr.-.s to have at last taken definite shape, and the law yers of Kiamath Falls are awaiting developments in the courts by those claiming water privileges, as soon as the work begins. At a cost of several thousand dollars for work to be done, and perhaps 110,000 in attorneys fees for litigation result ing, it is thought at least 70,000 acres of rich land can be reclaimed. Salmon hatched in Rogue river aro appearing in the Coquelle. One was caught by Captain Jensen last week which had R. D. Hume's mark on it. When we see a business man lacking up hand bills made of wrap ping paper and written' with a blue pencil, we can but naturally con clude that lie doesn I do business enough lo warrant him in investing a:i occasional dollar in printer's k. Andrew Crawford, a leading man of San Francisco for a great num ber of years, died at his home in that city, of heart disoase, August loth, aged 63 years. Mr. Crawford has long been identified with Curry county and Port Orford in a busi ncss way. Coal has been discovered in the hills one mile east of Klamath Falls. The exodus- of people from the middle states has been so great that it is impossible to secure har vest hands to gather the crops. The railroads have come to the relief ef the farmers by making a $5 rate for harvest hands from St. Paul to any point in Minnesota and the Dako ta?, and the Milwaukee road is es pecially making great efforts to sup ply the demand. Several thousand men arc still needed. Suit was begun Monday bv the City of Portland against ex-Chief of Police S. Ii. Parrish, to recover $lo,900.o4, alleged to have been collected as taxes by the defendant in his official capacity, and which he has lulled to turn over to the city treasurer. The prevalence of forest fires nt this season of the year ie a matter to be most deeply regretted. Too much care cannot be exercised in setting out and controlling fires du ring the dry season, and somebody should be held responsible for the damage they do. Threshing is about over with in tnis ncignuornooo. A tew years ago threshing machines were not so plentiful and the threshing sea son lasted six or eight weeks, but now thev are so plentiful that the entire crop can be gathered in two weeks. The board of commissoncrs for the sale of state lands is bavin;:, and have always had, a great deal of trouble by reason of the work of unscrupulous attorneys throughout the state, who represent themselves to the prospective land buyers and home seekers as agents for the board. This board has no agents and the persons so representing themselves arc unworthy of -confi dence. It is reported that the Southern Pacific company have had a de tective on their road to report any shortcomings and moral dehnquen cies that might be detected among employes. Apples without worms, if any such cau be found, will comunmd a good price this fall. . Oregon's hop crop is about 30000 biiles, and not over 400 bules of this amount are consumed at home Oregon's hop crop is worth from $1,200,000 to $2,500,000 annually, according to the price paid for hops. We understand that hop pickers are not making very big money this fall on account 'of the crop be ing lighj. . . PEOPLE'S PARTY PLATFORM A TeMS bud Comprehensive Declaration of Vital Principle. The People's party assembled in na tional convention ut Omnbii on July 4, 1803, nominated James Daird Weaver, of Iowa, aud Jmne.s Gavo'il Fields, of Virginirti for president and Vice presi dent of tho United States respectively, and adopted, as its preamble and plat form the following: 1 . Assembled upon llie UGltl anniversary of tlift Declaration of lnilctendcncc the People's party of America, iu their first national con vention. invoking upon their action die bless ing of AlmlirUty God, puts forth, iu the name and on behalf of tho pcoplo of this country, th following preamble and declaration of priucl pies: The conditions snrrouudinK us best Justify our co-operation; wo moot in the midst of a nation brought to the vergo of moral, political aud material ruiu. Corruption loraiuatcs the bal lot Imx, the lifrislaturcs, the congress, aud touches even the ermino of the bench. The people are demoralized; most of the states hare been compelled to tsolalB tho voters at the polline places to prevent universal Intimi dation or bribery. Tho ncwsnajiers are large ly subsidigod or muzzled: pubiic opinion si lenced; business prostrated; our homey -ov-ered with mortaKcs; labor impoverished and tho land concentrating la tho hands of the capitalists. The urban workmen are denied the rtebt of organl-ru! tim for self protection; Imported pauperized labor beats down their wages; a btrellnjc standing nriuy, unrecog nized by our laws, I oinblisJicd to shoot them down, and they are rapidly degenerating into European conditions. The fruits of tho toil of millions aro boldly stolen to build up colossal fortunes for a few. unprecedented In the his tory of mankind; and the io&cHMirs of lbr In turn, despiso die republic aud endanger liberty. From tho same prolific womb of the Coverumrntal injustice we breed the two great clascS'traaipand millionaires. The national power to create money is ap propriated to eurich bondholder?: a vast public debt, payable ia legal tender currency, has been funded Into gold bearing bonds, thereby adding millions to the burdens of the people. (Silver, which bae been accepted as Coin sine the dawn of history, has been demonetised to add to the purchasing power of gold by de creasing the value of all forms of property as well as human labor, and the supply of cur rency is purposely abridged to fatten usurpers, bankrupt rntc rpru-cs and enslave iudusu-y. A vast cuuspiracy against mankind has been organized on the two continent, and It is rnpidiy takiug possession of tlie world. If not met and overthrown at onre it forebodes ter. rible social convulsions, the destruction of civilization or the establishment of an absolute despotism. We have witnessed for more than a quarter ) or a century tbestruggim ur two great pnutt- i cal partus for power and plunder, while crier- i ous wrongs have been tunirted on the suffer- Ing poor. Wa charge that the controlling ' Influences dominating both these parties have ! permitted the rzlsliog dreadful conditions to develop without serious eilnrt lo prevent or restrain them. Neither do they now promise as any substantial reform. They have agreed 1 together to Ignore in the coming campaign every Issuo but one. Tbey propose to drown 1 the outcries of a plundered people with tin uproar of a ba:n battle over the tariff. Co that capitalis!&.corporations.nliunal banks. rings. trusts. wa:ercd stock, the demonetization of silver and the oppressions of tho usurers may all be lust sight of. They propose to samnce our homes, lives and children on the altar of Maintuou: to destroy the multitude in order to secure corruption fund from the million aire. Assembled on the anniversary nf tho birth- day of the nation, and fitlcd with the spirit of the grand general ion w ho established our inde pendence, we seek In restore the government of the republic to the Lands of "the plain peo ple, with w hich class it originated. e assert our purpose to be Identical with the purposes of the national constitution to form a more perfect Colon, establish JuMice, Insure domestic tranquillity, provide fr the common defease promote the general welfare and secure the b'cVsingsof liberty lorourselve and onr posterity. e dtclare that lots republic can only en dure asa free government while built cponthc lvv ef tho hole pco;-le fur each other and for the nation: it cannot bo pinurd tegethcr by bajoncis: that the civil war novrr.aad that every passion aud resentment which grew ont of It mmt die with it. and that we aisl be in fart, as we are in name, the united broihcr booduf free men. Our country finds Itself cenf routed by condi tions for which there U no precedent in the history of the world: our annual agricultural productions amount to billions of dollars In value, which must witbia a few wees cr months bo exchanged for bill io is of dollars of commodities consumed In their production; the existing currency supply is wholly iuidc qnnto lo make this exchange: the reenlta are falling prices, I he formation of combines and rings, and the impoverishment of the pro ducing class. We pledge ourselves that If given power we will labor lo correct these evils by wise and reasonable legislation, in accord ance with the terms of our pla:form. We believe that the powers of government In other words, of the people should be ex pended (as in the case of the postal service) as rnpidiy and as far as the good sense of an in telligcnl people and the teachings of expe rience shall Jnstify. to the cod that oppression. Injustice and poverty shall eventually cease In th luttd. While onr sympathies as a party of reform are naturally upon the side of every proposi tion which will tend to make men Intelligent, virtuous and temperate, we nevertheless re cnnl three questions Important as they are as secondary to tho great Usuea now-pressing for solution, and upon n hich not only our In dividual property but tho very existence of Tree Institutions depend; ann ra ask all men '.a first help us to determine whether we are to aave a republic to administer before we differ as to the conditions upon which it Ute be ad ministered, believing that the forces of reform fhia day organized will never cease to move forward uutil every wrong Is remedied and equal rights and equal privilege securely es tablished for nil tho men and women of this country. Vt e declare, therefore . That tho union of the labor forces of the United States this day consummated shall be permanent and perpetual may Its spirit enter Into all hearts, salvation of the republic and the uplifting of mankind. Wealth belongs tn him who creates It. and every dollar taken from industry without an equivalent la robbery. "If any man WiH not work neither shall he cat." The interests of rurarand civic labor ore tho same; their ene mies are identical. Wo believe that the time baa come when the railroad corporations will cither own tho people or the pcoplo must own the railroads, and should the government enter upon the work of owning and managing any and all railroads wo should favor an amendment to the constitution by which all persons en gaged In the government service shall be placed under a civil servico regulation if the most rigid character, so aa to prevent tho in crease of the power of the nut ional adminis tration hy the use of such additional govern ment employee. We demand a national currency, safe, sound nd flexible, issued by the gcuurul government only, a full legal tender for all dehts, publlo and private, and that without the use of bank ing corporations, a Just, equitable and efficient means of distribution, direct to tho people, at a tax nut tn exceed i per cent, per annum, to be provided as set forth In tho subtrcaaury plan of tho Farmers' Alliance, or some better system: also by payments In discharge of its obligations for public Improvement. We demand the free and unlimited coinage of silver and gold at the present legal ratio of Utol. We demand that tho amount of tho circulat ing medium bo speedily Increased to not leu than fifty dollars per capita. We demand a graduated income tax. Wo bellove that the monoys of the country should be kept as much as possible In the hands of the people, and bonce we donutnd that all national aud state rovenues shall be limited to tho necessary expanses, economically and honestly adutlulstered. We demand that postal savings banks be es tablished by the government for the safe de posit of tho earnings of the people and to facili tate exchange. Transportation being a moans of exchanre and a publio nccesslty, the governmout should own ntid overate the railroads In Uio interest ofthepeoplo. Tho telegriim and telephone, like tho post office system, boing a necessity fur the trans. mission of news, sliouid-bomvuoil ana operated bvrhe covernmu.it in tho interest of the people. Tlio land.
