TbtS national committee of the sound money democrats, with headquarters t Indianapolis, recently Issued an ad dress to the national democrats of the country, in which principles of the party are embodied to which every democrat of the old school ought to be able to subscribe. The theory of so called protection, it claims, is dishon est and an incentive to trusts and mo nopolies. It has driven our merchant marine from the seas and has forced us to the humiliation of paying vast and constant tribute to foreign nations to do our carrying trade. The widest freedom of trade is favored. How can we expect to gain foreign markets un less we trade with foreign nations? The declaration on the money question is unmistabably clear, being expressed in the following manner: "We are un reservedly for the gold standard and opposed to international blmetullsm, ?o called, as both impracticable and undesirable." American shipping has been on a steady decline since the beginning of the civil war, and it is now at a lower point than ever before known. Statis tics collected by the navigation bureau of the treasury department show that in 1859 American vessels carried 63.8 per cent of the total imports of the United States, and of the total exports 70 per cent, or a combined per cent of imports and exports of 6G.9. Since the civil war the decline has been rapid, until, in 1897, when the per cent of American imports and exports carried in American ships fell .to bedrock 11 per cent. Ill 18.59, with, exports and imports aggregating $095,557,592, Amer ican vessels got 66.9 per cent of the car rying trade. In 1897, with exports and imports amounting to $1,714,829,043, American vessels got but 11 per ceut of the carrying business. The Salem Journal shows up the la borious work of the committee clerks at the late special session. Nine com mittees that never had a , bill before them employed a clerk each at $3 a YTIvm oiimmlttfWB with nnlv iiiiq bill each hud each one clerk. The ways and means committee had one bill and employed two clerks one at $8 a day, the other $4 to look after it. The ju diciary committee, had 26 bills sent to it and employed but one clerk at $5 a day.. ' The patriotic citizens of Hood River were liberal iu their donations of Christmas goods to the 6oldier boys. The time given for sending oft the pickages' was short and many who wanted to give were unable to do so i.t the limited time. Another steamer i expected to sail for Manila Novem ber 15th, on which packages for the soldiers may be sent. The Regulator company generously furnished free transportation to Portland.' Spain's commissioners at Paris are skilled in diplomacy. They are about to succeed in unloading a big white elephant, the Philippines which they have discovered they could no longer goveYnon Uncle Sam for a money consideration; that is, the United States will reimburse Spain for her "pacific expenditures," dilapidated and antiquated . improvements she has made in the 300 years she has misgov erned the islands. . A Washington editor complains of a saloon man who waters the editor's whisky, and he threatens to pull the law an him. The man who would water an .editor's 'mental pabulum is about. as mean as the man who takes a paper till he owes a big bill for sub scription and then Writes asking the editor to stop it and he will soon send him part of the bill. . . Every letter from the Oregon boys at Manila expresses a desire to come home. It is hoped the Paris peace commission will soon conclude its labors and allow the president to proclaim the war over. Oregon will give the brave boys of the Second regiment a big reception, and everybody wishes the day for their re turn may speedily come. . A lively' campaign is in progress in our sister state ot Washington. Pop ulists and democrats have fused, or rather the latfer party has gone bodily into the populist camp. Many dem ocrats refuse to vote the fusion ticket, and everything points to a land slide for the republicans. The war with Spain has cost the lives of. 3,000, American soldiers and sailors up to date. But. the mortality is not up to thp average T)f that of the civil war In which 40,000 men were killed i, battle, and 300,000 died from disease - v - : ' - In the list of widow's pensions grant ed is the' name of Doris F.

The Daily Times; an evening paper, made its first appearance last Saturday. It is neat and newsy and republican in politics.

Dear Moth er: I have not heard from you for some time, but I suppose it is the fault of the mail service. I hope you sent the cam era all right; 1 am expecting it every day. I hope we will be ordered home before Christmas. The government, I think, will tie obliged to discharge us within 60 days after peace is declared. Bert Bra zee is sick in the hospital with malarial fever. I ain afraid he is dangerously sick: Dave Gibbons has charge of a ward now at the hospital, and Howard Isetiberg is clerk for the chief surgeon. Dr. Brosius is here with us at our regimental hospital, and Mal tie Dukes is still at Cavite. Mark Rob ertson is all right, and also both of the Dimmick boys, who aie in Troop G, Fourth cavalry, and quartered in a big cigar factory, about a mile from here. All of the Hood River boys are in good health, and all manage to keep out of the guard house, which is more than I can say for some others. I hear that all kinds of reports are going around at home about the boys of t lie Oregon regiment getting drunk and breaking into a church, or some thing of that kind at Cavite. There is no truth whatever in any such report, as we have been complimented several times by I tie general fur our good be havior at Cavite and here iu Manila. The only trouble we had at Cavite was caused by some drunken soldiers get ting into a tight with some natives about town, and the man who started the row was a regular from the Twenty third or Fourteenth. We have about half a dozen hard cases in our regiment, but they are in the guard house most of the time and don't get a chance to do much harm. I inclose a couple of street car tickets. The cars are hauled by little horses about the size of a large sheep, and the doors and steps of the cars are on the ends, in front and behind. Instead of stepping off beside the track yon have to getoffbetween the rails. I had a ride in a native's cab the ot her (fay. A person can ride all over the city in a hack for ?5 cents in our money. 1 have a friend in the Spanish ma rines who was on the Rena Christina, which Dewey sunk off Cavite. He was on the Viscaya three years and was in Cuba before coming here. He is going to get me a Mauser rifle and I will try to bring it home. I suppose you ure eating peaches at home now. We can eat all tin; oranges, cocoa nuts and ban anas we want. With love to all, etc. Clarence English, , Co. E, Second Oiegou Vols. To Cure vCuiii4i.liHblii Forever. .

The boys who went out. from Hood River to defend the flag in the late war have been kindly remembered ' for Christmas by their friends at home. On Wednesday morning last the Ore gon Emergency Corps and Red Cross Society shipped by express to Portland twelve boxes of Chiistmas goods for our boys at Manila. Tuesday,-the rel atives and friends of the boys met at Mrs. Thompson's to address the pack ages and pack the boxes.

The packages contain food for both body and mind, and the aggregate weiirht of the 12 boxes was 600 pounds Owing to the great distance to the Philippines, the goods are not expected to reach the boys much before the hol idays. .

"And what is your name?" the new teacher said To the dear little boy who stood at the head Of the very big clans she was going to teach, With a winning smile to all and to each. "Dewey's my name," said the dear little lad, Who looked as If he could never be bad. "A beautiful name," the teacher said. "With it you are sure to be always ahead." "The class in geography," then she said, "May rise to reclie." From her book she read: "The lesson's about the Philippine Isles. . 'TIs far from here byen thousand miles.
