HARMONY IN BUSINESS MATTKItS. The unanimous action of the Salem board of trade, and tho almost unanimous voice of Salem business men upon one matter Is a good sign for this city. It means that Balem business men propose to pull together for tho business Interests of this city. Harmony and uutty count for much in all that interests the business of the city. Develop ments commercially is what Salem needs. Factories, investments, enterprises, and encouragement of all legitimate business and indus tries nro what will make Salem a great city. Enterprise and enthu siasm for the rapid development of a great city are all that Salem has lacked. Salem seems to have that now. It may nt turns bo applied in a mistaken manner or to a bad pur pose. But the spirit is tho right one for any city desirous to prosper. It Is easy by letting every ones objec tions become fatal to stop all progress of u city. It is only by a union of all progressive busluessmen that in dividuals can be kept from blockiug the growth of a city. It is an en couraging sign to find all Salem business men united and pulling together for the development of Salem business interests. GIVE L'S 1JETTER HO A 1)3. The voice of progress demands roads. "No more summer-fallowing of our roads," "was the sentiment ex pressed by more than one of the raud supervisors before the county court. To provide for construction of netter roads is tho duty of the hour, rhe Salem boaid ol'trudu has wisely taken up the matter and Is pushing It with all the strength of u vigor ous organization. Salem pays nearly a third of the county taxes and pro poses to hack the farmers' interests by demanding good roads. The county commissioner's court is authorized to levy a three-mill tax, collect the coin aud pay it out under contract to build good roads. This county could make no fetter investment. .A good system of country roads would do inoro to thickly settle this county uud in crease tho value of ull property than any other step that could bo taken. If the county court wants to set a good example to secure good roads, let it tuKe steps at this term to build ten miles of good road. It would ho a great object lesson and iucrease the value of all lands ad joining at least. bUGGUSTED COMMENT. The Sea Serpent has been vouched for by a bishop. Now who will vouch for tho bishop? Tho uttempt to mix city and county politics did not work In tho council election of ofllcers. If Salem would prosper as she should her business Interests must pull together for any new factory In sight. Look at tho example of Portland In this respect !

Editor Jeurnal: Mr. GeorBays truly that the '"prosperity" of "a very large majority of Oregon farm ere" may "be largely enhanced by the application of business prlncl pies," and, no state lu tho Union is situated farthor from the great manufacturing conlers of the coun try than ours; and certainly none otber buys so closely up to 100 per cent, of all the manufactured artioles that cousltute tho necessities of mod em life. This entails a financial burden greater than we would sup pose at first thought." Just so, Now how would it do to apply "business principles" to tho present uuolvillzed barbarism of "robbery by forms of law"iho "protective tariff." If we could buy these "manufac tured" articles that constitute the necessities of modern life" at the same price as these same "artioles" are sold to foreigners "for export only," our "financial burdens" would be somewhat loss. Wouldn't they? Is It fair that we should pay 40 to 60 per ceut. higher for our "manufactured articles" than these same articles are furnished to for elirners for? A protectlvo tariff is tho same thing to men's natural right to trade, that gag laws were to ills natural right to print, or read, or speak. It is on a par with religious proscription upon freedom of con' suieuco or worship. It Is us barbar ous and heathenish and unjust for the protectionists to prevent any citizen from trading whoro and with whom ho pleases, as it would be for govern ment to dlotate his speech, tho cut of his clothes, or his vote. But no one who supports tho party which seeks to perpetuate these violations of our natural rights should com plain. Ho cannot consistently in dulgo in this "amusing pastime." Mr. Geer says "Tho Oregon farmer seems to havo no enemy so merciless as the Iowa farmer, who competes successfully with him in his own market," etc. If Mr. Geer had named the protection party, Instead of "tho Iowa farmer," he would havo hit tho truth. The Iowa farmer is not our enemy. He is our friend. Ho buyB our pears, our apples, our prunes, etc., ut all times; and when hams and butter and eggs, etc., ure high enough here, ho furnishes us with these commodities at prices which our people can stand, aud Oiegou uud Iowu nro both benefitted by the exchange. Wo don't wunt the whole earth, Iowa Is such a groan uud corn country as Oregon cau never be; but Iowa can never "com pete In our own market" for fruits. Let us apply Ifou. T. T. Geer'n party theory to the case. Let us suppose uu Interstate turifl' tax on imports from Iowa of 00 per cent. Mr. Geer will scarcely fiuvo tho gall of Win. McKlnley and uuy that the Iowu funrier will pay that tax and still sell us the goods ut the sumo price. Wo would pay tho tax if wo bought tho goods, and Hon. T. T. dare not deny it. Then If hums, butter, eggs, etc, from Iowa cost us 60 per cent more, that would eunblo home producers to charge that much more, and while the producers of such articles would receive some immediute be t)eflt8,cousumers would bo 50 per ceut. worse off, while tho shrinkage lu consumption sure to follow would Injure the Iowa, if not the Oregon producer. Iowa would then "retaliate," by putting u tax on our fruits, und the same thing would follow there Increased cost to consumers, shrinkage of con sumption, stagnation of trado, uud a curse to both parties. And the same holds good of foreign states us between states or localities here. It isn't "Immigration" or "change of farming" that we need, so much as the "application of business principles thut will astonish those who aro still applying the brakes that retarded our progress hereto fore," uud cause them to get oil" our backs. We need the "beneficent legisla tion" mentioned by Mr. Geer us applying to sugar (aud he could also have named quinine, mutche,bliid Ing twine, etc, as well) applied to tho "100 per ceut. of all mauufacV Highest of all in Leavening Power. IriSfcJ irvi jsxmm ABSOLUTELY PURE ured articles that constitute tho necessities of modern life." With our "financial burdons" thus re moved, we can take care of our selves.
