ounty of Jack-
THE Aldrich-Paye tariff bill is on the principle of
taxing poverty to help the rich. It is tho work of
tho stand-patters. It increases the cost of living for the
multitude, to increase the profits of the trusts. It is the
perfect fruit of tho manipulation of politics by special
interests.
The Portland Oregouian calls attention editorially to
a little graft practiced by the administration in taking
care of its supporters at the expense of the people as fol fel fol
eows: r "The Standard Oil company, one of the richest corpo
rations, has been given a contract for carrying 5000 tons
of coal from Norfolk, Va., to Marc Island, Cal. The coal
will be carried in the American ship Acme and the rate
is $6 per ton, or $30,000 for the voyage. At the same time
that Air. Rockefeller's oil company received this contract
for carrying coal at $6 per ton, foreign shipowners were
offering to cany it in fast tramp steamers at $4.14 per
ton. As Mr. Rockefeller did not have a very large supply
of tonnage, contracts were actually let to two foreign
vessels to carry 11,000 tons to the Pacific coast at $4.14 per
ton. Lest the reader get the impression that this bonus of
practically $10,000 was given Mr. Rockefeller by a private
corporation, we may explain that this peculiar transaction
was the work of the government.
from twonty-fivo to twonty-nino, there were 3t4 who wore
unmarried. In .Denver thoro wore 331. Tn Manhattan
and the Bronx there were 356. In Minneapolis there wore
309. Tn Philadelphia thoro wore 387.
Southern New England, however, is the most industrial
ly dcvolopcd part of tho United States, the part in which
social conditions liko thoso of the older countries of the
world are most nearly reached. In Fall River, out, of
every 1000 women in the twenty-five-to-twenty-nine pe
riod, the unmarried woro 391. In Now Haven they wore
393. .In Boston they woro 452.

extra $10,000 which is to be paid him as a bonus for trans
porting a cargo of coal in an American ship, but it is a
sacrifice offering laid at the feet of our wonderful protec
tive system. It is apparent from this coal contract ,iust
issued that about $2 per ton advance over the rates of for
eign ships is not regarded as excessive. On this basis it
would cost us about $200,000,000 more per annum for
ocean freights than we are now paying. This is ship sub
sidy in practice, but not theory."
Yet the Oregouian, which between elections opposes
the tariff graft, invariably supports it during election
times, when it needs support. It supports Cannon and
Aldrich, who fastened the graft on the nation, and assails
the insurgents, who opposed it. It swallows the grafts
for "the sake of the party," forgetting that no party that
betrays its constituency, by abandoning principle, is wor
thy of support, and that no paper that abandons its real
beliefs for political expediency, is either.
The newspaper partisan organ has no originality of
beliefs and no opportunity to advocate truth. It is bound
and gagged by the coterie of machine politicians and must
support them, advocate "their veiled harpy-like desires
and reiterate their clap-trap, their sounding brass and
tinkling cymbal, lest the truth "injure the party." Like
the shyster lawyer, it does the best that it can for its ques
tionable client, but it has no conscience and no sincerity.
With the growth of political independence, with the
awakening of the masses, with the progress of direct leg
islation, the party organ has become an anachronism in
Oregon neither trusted, respected, nor believed, a veri
iorm appendix of journalism.

GRIFFIN CREEK BARN
DESTROYED BY FIRE
Fire, supposed to have been caus
ed by spontaneous combustion re
sulting from a few loads of rather
green hay in bottom of the mow,
stored threo weeks ago, destroyed the
ifcro belonjjinj; to W. M. Holmes on
firiffin creek this morninR at 3
o'clock. One wagon, a few tons of
hay, and building worth probubly
$000 is extent of loss. Two mules
tied in shod had closo call, and were
quito budly scorched, and may ho
found to havo suffered loss of oyo
pight. Vetorinnry thinks thoy will
not be seriously damaged, however.
Prices have an advertising value
mly If thoy nro gonulnoly low and
rtadors, nowadays, know.
THE number of both unmarried men and women iu
the United States is constantly increasing. Each
census shows a greater proportion, due largely to indus
trial conditions, which in turn have broadened women's
sphere.
The cost of living annually increases. This alone keeps
many a couple from marriage. The fault does not lie al
together with the men, with their increasing selfishness
and disinclination to sacrifice personal pleasures, and ex
travagances to assume family economies and cares, but
also with the women, who prefer the freedom of work to
the confinement of home and the responsibility of 'moth
erhood. The tendency toward late marriages also increases
the number of those who remain single. By the time a
woman reaches 25, man is no longer a hero in her eyes.
His faults bristle like the spines on a porcupine. She sees
clearer and truer and hesitancy turns to disinclination,
along with disillusion.
The girl of today, unlike her grandmother, has many
spheres of usefulness, besides that of matrimony, open
to her. The name of old maid is no longer a reproach.
Social conditions have compelled her to extend her field
of occupation and this tendency increases with the years.
Figures on the census showing of the unmarried are
given in Everybody's Magazine for August. Tl'iey show
that when the census man was at work in 1900 he counted
2,200,000 American women who were more than twenty
five years old and who were still unmarried.
The census man groups us into age periods. The period
from twenty-five to twenty-nine is the most important
matrimonially, because it is the one in which most of us
get pretty well fixed into our life work. Out of every
1000 women in that period, in the year 1890, the census
man found 254 who were still unmarried. In 1900, only
ten years later, he found 275. But the United States con
sists of developed and undeveloped regions. The cities
arotho high points of development. Look at the cities:
