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 !

A PKEE TRADERS' CRITICISM.
Attacking Hon. T. T. Geer's Non-
Political Ucw Years' Article in
"The .lournal."
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
