Oar St. llflens contemporary, in
his last week's ;st?ne, cuiiis a roar
Jike a ''sucking Jove," over the far
tied negieet of lion. Ge C.
lirownell ly Senatora Mitchell and
Fulton, for failure to appoint the
jfiahle Senator from Clackamas to
a fat federal position. We ar a
little in doubt as to the underlying
motive for this outbreak; hut it
was doubtless either to draw atten
tion to the unrequited efforts and
unreconipenSxii lahors, in republi
can interest, of ono fe. II. Flagg;
lr to perpetuate that sordid dea of
Republicanism that every man who
expends nervo-uiuscular energy in
aid of the party should be reward
ed; which last idea is only a round
about way of reaching his own
case and calling attention 1o him
self; both reprehensible. We do
hot now ifcall what Flnjrg has
don in particular, either for his
party or for good government; it
ttiatters not, for there should be no
reward of inerit for good citizen
ship, nor pay fur tflicient fffoit
looking toard improved cndi
tions. It is every mans dot;,, in
his family, ehurch. political pirty,
'club and in every other walk ol
life to strive for netler conditions
and better government; and he
'who woiksand votes with the hope
of direct individual benefit is a
sordid jiarody cn God's master
pit ce. Mr. Brownell. by hi3 wide
acquaintance and unquestioned
ability is capable of doing this
State as valuable service in the
State senate as any man within
our borders; while any other posi
tion to which he might be appoint
ed could be equally well tilled by
many others. Oregon needs him
in her senate, and so long as a
democrat cannot he tlectod from
Clackamas, he should be kept
where he K without reard to re
muneration for his services; and
unless we mistake, Mr. Brownell
will be the last man to ask for po
litical preferment as a reward' lor
'doing his duty.

Since 1850, improved machinery
has increased the productivity of
, labor forty fold. The late" Mr.
Gladstone said: "By the aid of
machinery, the manufacturing
.power of the world doubles every
Be-ven years." Since 1850, the
machinery of England has done
;the work , of 700,000,000 men as
'they worked a century ago.
According to the census reports
of the United States, the aggregate
manufacturing power in 1900 was
11,300,081 horse power, as compar
ed to 2,000,000 horee power in
1870. ,
' : Prof. ' Huxley,, discussing the
marvelous : productivity of the
machine.'saidi "If this wonder
ful productivity of wealth is not to
'be used in bettering the condition
of the working people, but is to
'continue to pour into the pockets
of the rich, then I would hail the
advent of some kindly comet that
would sweep the whole thing
away.",
The, late senator Hanna said:
"The prcducteon in the United
States is one third larger than our
consumption."
Senator Chauncey Depew in 1900
eaidr "The American people pro
duce $2,000,000,000 more than they
consume. It its because of this

The census reports show that the
average annual produc ot each
worker in liHK), was valued at

himself the worker must create $t

The statistics show in I $50 tha

Dr. Sharper, the statietican,
says: "One per ceut of the Amer
ican people own 54 per cent of all
the wealth. Sir.co 1S50, crime in
the U.S. has increased GOO per

Dunn's Review ej-ti mates that So

Robbie Hirsch, the scholar and
orator of Chicago, says:. "The
powerful of tart!, should realize
that we are in the midst of the
ame conditions that existed in
France which brought on the Rev-
o!uthn. The rich and powerful
classes in France refused to take
warning from what was going on
about them and relied upon the
power, which Ihey fancied they had.
The Revolution came like the
eruption of a volcano. Aud we in
America should take warning.
Ri.ht now we are standing over a
volcano which may burst forth
with all the fury of Pelee. What
does the Republican party propose
to do in the face of this alarming
condition of things? Nothing
worth mentioning except to main
tain a high tariff.
What does the Democratic party
propose? Very little except to
maintain a tariff a little lower than
the Republicans. Mnmbers of
both these parties are organizing
Citizens' Alliances; the object of
which is to stamp out labor organ
izations and to prevent working
people from increasing their wage
or shortening their hours of toil.
What does the Socialist party
propose? It says the despoiling of
the working people mu9t cease or
this republic will go down because
the wealth and tools of production
have drifted into the hands f the
few. Let the workers in every
useful industry have the full pro
duct of their labor. Let the nation
own the trusts.
Voter, what ticket will you cast
November next? It is time we, as
a working class, should find out
what is best for us. We would
like to hear from you on the subject.
