Tariff revision is liable to be taken by many people to indicate more than it is meant. to Imply In the mouths of Republicans. The Republican leaders ought to get together on the tariff question before they get too wide apart. There Is danger in the cry for the taking off of all duties on goods manufactured by so-called trusts. Competition must be encouraged, but the repeal' of nil duties on goods man ufactured by trusts Is not the way to encourage compel U Ion. It may In ome cases discourage and prevent It, en tirely. Other ways must be found to encourage and build up competition and to prevent Injury to the general public on account of the Inordinate greed of the trust magnates who raise prices beyond the measure of cost of - production and .reasonable profits the capital necessary. 1 s OA Sad Coughs "I iud bid cough for six weeks and could find no relief un til I tried Ayer's Cherry Pectoral.

'The continued wet season this year has not been an unmixed evil. It has brought Joy and gladness and plenty of business to tilemakera and drainage engineers. People are draining' their lands who never drained before, and those who always drain, now drain the tttore. An amusing letter from Sioux City Iowa, .to the Live Stock fWorld, lewcribes the hilarity . of a tilemaker if that state, who, while treating a crowd, thus related ; his experience: '"Step up.gent'emen, and be with me. for I'm riding the crest of a wave of prosperity No, I'm not a diamond broker I deal In tile red draining tile;' they sell like hot cakeg Just now. Last year live stock ; was depressed, but it was nothing to the gloom of the tilemaker. The whole country seemed to be drying up, and not an order was to be Jiad. Whenever I dlactosed my business I was given the grand 'haw haw!' . I tried to swap my tlleworks for a farm, ut I couldn't unload. Then old Jupiter TMuvlun unrolled several lengths of hose and proceeded to dot the Mawkeye prairies with the prettiest aggregation of sink holes and -sloughs that ever gladdened the heart" of "a tilemaker on the verge of bankruptcy; and now I can't keep up with my or lers." It Is a fact that more drainage has been planned in Iowa than ran be carried out in a decade, thousands of acres of high-priced soil having ben under water, while It is planned to iraln an Immense area of lowlands by a huge canal emptying into the Miss issippi river. Country rtentleman. It would be a grand thing 'for : th Willamette valley If there could be a boom created In some way In the use jt drain tile. "There are thousands tnd thousands of acres of land in the Willamette vallev that can srofltably he drained. It would .put it In better comlitkm for working the year through. tnd It would Insure larger and better crops.

The merger of the Gould System of Railroads Into one organization with a capital of 1800,000,000, now said to be practically Completed, gives a foretaste of the possibility Of several of " the Treat railroad systems getting together Into one giguntlc affair and practically controlling the entire railway system of the country. . A few years ago a sug gestion such as this would have been ridiculed, but In this day of modern financiering, when one man practically controls a billion of money, the proba bility of the Anal consummation of the greater scheme does not appear to be so absurd as It might have less than a generation ago. Mobile, AIa4 Regis ter. A big thing, almost beyond the reach of ImaglnaTon. nut it would probably be hard to convince some of our peo ple that It is a bad thing in this par ticular Instance the people- of South ern, Southwestern and Southeastern Oregon, which sections will feel the beneficial effects of greatly increased commerce on account of the merger; through the construction of railroad lines extending from Salt Lake- City to Coos Bay. It is sometimes the'other fellow's" merger that is the bad and wicked merger. , , , THE MANIFEST DESTINY OF CAN ADA. A description of present conditions in Canada giveto by an Ottawa corre spondent of that Important financii' and commercial authority, the Londor Economist, has In it much slgr.lfl cance. . ' A very remarkable, even a revolu jtlonary change In the movement c population In the Canajlan posses- . -I sions has taken place during the past five years,' In. 1899 there were 1.200, GOO natives of Canada and Newfound land In the United States. The drift of emigration was then and for many years has beenl wholly from Canada to this country, yet the whole" population of Canada, native and foreign-born, I now. only 5,400.000. An Bngliah social philosopher of distinction, had explain ed this direction of the current by at tributing It to the general tendency of the population to escape from a rigorous- climate:- but as 80 per cent, of these Canadian emigrants settled . In our states which lie, next to the Can adian border, and consequently have a climate which is practically the same, his theory fell to the ground. It has received another staggering blow during the last five years. Since 1897 emigration from the United States to Canada has begun to set In, and the volume of It has become very consid erable. The great amount 'of ree grant" land obtainable In the Canadian Northwest is attracting emigration from our Northwests where such land is mostly taken up, and the attraction is the greater because that region of Canada seems destined. to be a great wheat-producing country. Official Canadian statistics give the volume of this Immigration as 75,000 up to the end of last June, and the Interior De partment at Ottawa estimates that by a year from that time It will be 100,. 000. This lost to us at the present Is looked, on in Canada, it seems, as pos sibly a future gain. "Some Canadians," says the Economist's correspondent, "fear that these new arrivals may some day bring about the secession of the Canadian Northwest from the rest of the Dominion. That is, the fear Is that : the ; newcomers .will Americanize the region in which they settle; nor is It an unreasonable conclusion. Already the new settlers are grumbling about the Canadian tariff, by reason of which they' have to pay more for "nearly all factory made goods, Including farm implements, than they paid In the United States," "so that, though they may have been protectionists at home, they are tariff reformers In Canada, In iha Interests -of thelr-iown pockets." Yet "meanwhile the manufacturers of the older jprovincee have begun a campaign for higher duties." , The remedy is very sfmple, however, and Canadians have good reason to feel" thankful that the accession of Americans i, to the Northwest ' has brought it to their attention so con vincingly. Of course, says a writer in the New, York Sun, It Is annexation. LThe futility of attempting to compete with the United - States, "soon to em brace two hundred' millions of the En glish-speaking raee and capable of supplying most of the world's wants," aa Mr. Carnegie said Hit Str. Andrew's University recently, wll be made more apparent; every da to the relatively feeble Canada, and it will discover and acknowledge that Its own destiny is to become a part of the great American political and economical sgstem whose supremacy Is already, established. "America," as Mr. Carnegie proved to his Scotch audience by abundant and Indisputable statistics, "now ' makes more steel than all the rest, of the i , world. In Iron and coal her produc tion Is greatest and It Is also so in textile's. i.She produces three-quarters of the world's cotton. The value of her manufactures is about triple that of your own. Her exports are greater and the (Clearing House exchanges at New York are almost double those of London." The mere instinct of self-preservation will lead Canada to become an Integral part of this dominant world power. . GOOD ROADS. James W Abbott, Commissioner of Highways for the Department of Ag riculture, and Judge Scott. President of the Oregon Good Hoads Association, left Portland yesterday, for Salem, where they will visit Warden Janes, of the State Penitentiary. f Their prin cipal object is to discuss with the War den the general feasibility of working convicts on highway improvements throughout Oregon. ' . " This- subject was first publicly broached by Mr. Abbott In an inter view published In the- Journal a few days ago. It Is & matter on which the good roads official is very enthusiastic and It Is very possible that a bill pro viding that state prisoners shall be employed in building highways through the state, will be presented to the next Legislature. Poxtlatul Evening Jour nal. The above Is from the issue of the paper named for last Wednesday- This subject has been "broached" publicly many times before. In Oregon . the employment of the convicts in general , road building might be1 all right as far as It went, but It would not go very far. There is not enough of it. There are not a hundred men In the Penitentiary st this time who could be used as "trust ies" to work on roads. The cost of keeping that number, or less, outside the walls of the prison, and conveying them from place to place, would be ex pensive. Provision would have to be made for sUcl taring and feeding them, md there would be extra expense for l f The Statesman for se vera years, baa tdvocated the creation of the office of State Engineer of, Roads. It has not had a grat deal "of sympathy r, ....... . nany quarters, but this pjper still be- iievea that is the way to make a bV ginning. .As ha b-en often said In SICK HADE- Tfll . , WEAK MADE STROM MARVELOUS ELIXIR OF LIFE DI3 COVERED DY FAMOUS DOCTOR SCIENTIST THAT CURES EVERY I KNOWN AILMENT.

Dr.. James W. KJdd. 30.".3 Eialtes . building". Fort Wayne. Ind makes the startling announce- DR. JAMES WILLIAM KIDD. ment that he has surely discovered the elixir of life. That he Is able with the aid of a mysterious compound, known only to himself, produced as a result of the years he has spent In searching for this precious life-giving Doon,. to cure any and every disease that is known to the human body. .There Is no doubt of t the doctor's earnest nesa in making his claim and the remarka ble cures that he Is . daily effecting seem to bear -him out very strongly. His theory which he advances Is one of reason and baaed or sound experi ence In a medical practice of many years. It costs . nothing to try his "Elixir of Ufe," as he calls It. for he sends it free, to ' anyone who is a sufferer, in sufficient quantities to convince of Its ability to cure, so there Is absolutely no risk to run. Some of the; cures cited are r very re markable, and but for reliable wit nesses would hardly be' credited. The lame have thrown away crutches and walked about after 'two or-three trials of the remedy. The sick, given up by home doctors, have been restored to their families and friends in perfect health. Rheumatism, neuralgia, stom ach, heart, liver, kidney, blood and skin diseases and bladder troubles disappear as by magic, lleadach?, backaches, nervousness, fevers, .con sumption, coughs, colds, asthma., ca tarrh, bronchitis and all affections- of the throat, lungs or any vital organs are .easily overcome In & spaceof time that is simply marvelous. - " Partial paralysis, locomotor ataxia, dropsy, gout, scrofula and piles are quickly and permanently removed. It purifies the entire system, blood and tissues, restores normal nerve power, circulation , and a state of perfect health Is produced, at once. To the doctor all systems are alike and equal ly afTected by this great "Elixir of Life." Send for the remedy today. 'It Is free to every sufferer. State what you want to be cured of and the sure remedy for It will be sent you free by return mall. this connection, what Is everybody 's business Is nobody's: business. ThereJ must be some ono to take particular notice of road matters, and have, super vision over this work, and keep up an agitation, so as to gain and hold the attention of the public. When all the people-of Oregon are convinced that we ought to have good roads, and that they will be worth their cost, then there will soon-be permanent highways. The Statesman . believes the roads should be built at the cost of the state, the counties and the districts jointly. If the Federal Government can be en listed and Induced to bear, part of the expense, all the . butler. In districts desiring to pay the cost by Issuing bonds, there should be. statutory pro vision to cover . this. It . would take the few convicts who could be spared a long, time to make much of an impression. Men and teams can be had in the districts where the roads are to bo built. A permanent highway will cost from $3,000 to S.00rt per mile. The expense is not a small matter. It Is a large matter. The ag gregate for. the whole state will be Im mense. The following is part of a dis patch appearing In the Oregon lan of last Tuesday, showing that the Gran gers of Clatsop and Columbia, counties believe with the Statesman that the matter ought to be under atate direc tion: ' ' , ST.

Hurd. of Brooklyn, In his own house this af ternoon. Sometimes he Is called the "pioneer dentist" of Williamsburg. Williamsburg was only a viJlage when he settled there; and In his memory draggling Brooklyn has grown to be a strapping town and a big part of a big city. Technically he Is an old set tler, but In a new country the stand ards of age "cannot be depended upon. Dr. Hurd stands straight, sticks to his profession and doesn't yield to the vul gar and foolish misconception which looks at &0 and thereabouts as an tiquity. Marianne In . Jane Austen's "Sense and Sensibility." laid down as a law the theory that a woman of 27 was too old .to feel or be capable of love: and he thought a man jl 35 a monument of eld. We laugh at this dogmatism of youth when we cease to have what, Is too narrowly called youth. And If we are of sound and disponing mind, we shall laugh when we are 80at the veal Iness of people who think that old.

Anything should be welcomed that knocks between the eyes' the "no tion that youth and age are not rela tive and elastic terms.

Our Hundred-Year Class is so full that we are forced to' discourage all but the most gifted applicants for admis sion.. The people In the eighties and nineties are the preparatory school, we might almost say the kindergar ten. A hew question has been raised In one of the Congress. districts of Ken lucky, where a candidate has been nominated on a platform pledging him, If tlected, to j"work for the passage of a bill prohibiting the Federal Gov ernment from 'issuing licenses for the sale of liquor In any community where there Is prohibition under local? op tion." Kentucky has lis counties. In ninety of these total or limited pro hlbltion is legally established under the state liquor law, which provides for the submission, not oftener than once in three years, of the ocal option proposition to the voters, on demand. The Federal Government In! the Issue of liquor licenses, wholesale or retail. takes into no account the question of state or local prohibition of the sale of, spirits. The .anomaly lst therefore presented, in several states or coun ties. in states, which Interdict or pro hibit It. of a liquor traffic carried on under United States Government li cense. Should legislation be obtained. as the prohibition men In Kentucky demand, restricting the Issue of retail liquor licenses by the Internal Rev enue Department to counties in which liquor selling is lawful, the liquor pow er would be seriously affected. The Pomona Grange for Clatsop and Columbia counties has declared In fa vor of a State Highway Commission. The Statesman has for several years been advocating such a commission, or rather State Engineer of Roads. This paper, has been sneered at often for this. But It Is the way to secure the construction cf ' highways. What Is everybody's business is nobody's busi ness.

The commission lis expected to settle every question at Issue and the requirement of a pledge, was simply a repudiation of the com mission. As a matter of fact, the .sign ing of the pledge is worthless. If the commission should reinstate all of the strikers, the non-union men would have to go out under the terms of tin arbltratoin.

Here Is diversified -and Intensified agriculture that is the real thing. The Elma man who made the record is Wm. liar ling, Jr. ; ' The way to build roads Is to build them, and to go at it with the under standing that It will take a Ion? time and cost a great deal" of money. If this facfH"Ould be Impressed upon 'the Oregon legislature to convene ' next winter it would, perhaps save a lot of useless tlnkcrlngvith the road laws.

They say that "society is organized for the benefit of the rich," and that ''the rich' should pay for it. Also that taxcx are a' "tribute" and that they are not the men to pay tribute to anybody. Taxes have no friends except the collectors. It is estimated by the railroad peo ple that 1.000 new - people have .Mite Into the Willamette valley within the past' month.
