THE VIEW8 OF C. E. 8. WOOD.
Tho ualorn Statesman Is In error
whon it Bays thnt O. 13. 8. Wood, tho
Doinoorntlo nomlnoo for United Stato
senator, was or is a freo silver man.
Ho was a gold" Domoorat, nud, na wo
rccolleqt, supported Palmer oleotors.
Rut in 1900 the Isuuo of imperialism
oyorahadowed all other matters, and
ho laid aside tho projudlco or convic
tions ho had against freo sllvor, and
supported Uryan.
In this wo may bo mistaken, but
that ia our present Impression, In a
apoooa at tho last Democratic bauquot
at Portland, in 1000, ho made an elo
quent Bpeooh for tho abandonment of
tho Philippines,
On that Issue ho is not oven in ac
cord with tho Democratic platform, as
he goes to tho oxtromo of tho most
radical Massachusetts "antla" and ad
vocated Armed resistance on the part
of the. Filipinos.
On tho tariff quantum he U an ad
vocate of Absolute free trade, uot In
tho future- some time, as some, Repub
licans talk, but now and forovor. im
mediately and regardless or conse-
quoacos.
AN INDEPENDENT PAPER FOR THE PEOPLE.
As tho Democratic platform stands ;
for a revenue tariff, and recognizes tho
fact that tho Philippines aro American
territory, on theso Issues tho Demo
cratic candidate for tho United States
senato is not in harmony with Ills
party platform, nor with tho great
mafiB of tho American people.
Tho Journal has tho highest regard
for tho ability and character and
scholarship of C. E. S. Wood, and bo
llovos he is porfectly slneoro in his
vJowb.
But wo foot it is our duty to point
out thnt his vIowb aro not tho views,
or at leaBt havo not been, of tho groat
mass of tho people of Orogon, to whom
ho appeals for votes as a candidate
for senator.

HOW TO MAKE
PROSPERITY ENDURING
Prosperity to tho business Interests
of tho country depends for Its buccobb
nndcontlnunnco on tho prosperity nnd
purchnHlng power of Its cltlzons. The
moro dollars thoy havo (other things
being oqunl) tho larger will bo the
amount of goods thoy will buy nnd
coiiBumo, whllo tho roverflo Is of no
cosalty tho caao whoro tholr purchas
ing power 1b curtailed nnd lessoned.
It follows theroforo thnt anything
that Iobboiib tho purchnHlng power of
tho laboror nnd farmer, who consti
tute the groat majority of our people,
Injures tho buslnoHS Interests of .the
ontlro country and reartH to tho In
Jury of all, whllo anything that tonds
to promote tho Interests of tho laboror
and farmor benefits all other Interests.
Tho real enemies of society, theroforo,
aro thoso who for personal, selfish
ends nre permitted to exploit and Im
poverish these two moat useful
momberH of society. Thnt this is
ByHtomatlcnlly nnd oponly done needs
no urgumont to provo, In tho csbo of
tho farmer this Is equally truo. Tnko,
for oxamplo, tho nun of prunes ns ono
Instance out of many. Tho Oregon
fruit growor laat year rocolvod from
2 to i cents for his driod prunos, whllo
tho consumers In tho onstern cities
had to pay 12V& to 15 cents pur pound.
This enormous profit went Into the
pockots of tho transportation compan
ies and tho middlemen. And this Is
oqunlly truo to n less extent perhnps.
of anything tho funnor either sells or
buys, besides having to pay moro than
his sliuro of u burdensome tnx. The
laboror Ih in tho sumo boat, and he ,
too, gets tho worst ond of It.
Truo, wo admit employment Is
nbundnnt at tho present time nud his
wages aro n high as they hnvo been
for many years on an nvernge. Hut
ho has to work harder, that Ih by tho
aid of modern machinery he turns out
n largor product and creator moro
wonlth per day than ho hna ever done
boforo, whllo IiIh wages nre no higher.
while on the other hnnd the cost of
his living has been recently increased
more tlinu forty per cent, so that ho
Is in a worse condition tluui ever,
even providing he lias steady employ
mont, the continuance of which la a
serious problem with all thinking men,
In view of the rapidity which this
country Is gaining possession of the
world's markets and displacing Euro
pean competing countries whose labor
on this account Is throsvu Idle. Those
of them who can rnUc enough to pay
their steerage passage nud the neces
sary amount required to secure their
entrance are coming to this country
by the thousands, as Instance the enor
mous steerage emmlgratlon to this
to this country from Germany. Theee
people are njmost entirely laborers,
and are coming to this country to
compete with American laborers for
their Jobs. This will result in the
loweilug of wanes, and consequent
lessen tho purchasing power of this
numerous olasa of consumers, which
in turn will Injure the business Inter
eats of the country. The Huropean
manufacturers in their efforts to re
gain their lost markets will be com
pelled to out the wages of their em
ployees in order to reduce the price of
their goods to regain their trade. This
In turu will be followed by the manu
facturers of this country Ih order to
hold their trade. And so it will go.
drat oue side and theu the other will
go on cutting prices and wages, until
the condition of the laboring class In
this country Is reduced to the level of
that of the Chinese, and us a matter of
court his DUrchailnn dowsp will be
'reduced accordingly. The trutt mtU-
ods adopted by this country of con.
ducting business will also havo to bo
adopted by tho manufacturers of tho
world as the only means of stopping
this soncoless, wasteful, throatcuttlng
competition. Thoy aro already taking
stops In this direction. As Instance
tho combination into a gigantic trust
or compnny of tho steamship com
panies under ono head, Mr. J. P.
Morgan, the organizer and teacher of
the business world.
Tho gontlomcn at tho head of the
trusts are shrewd and sonalblo enough
to havo learned both by oxperlencc
nnd observation that the Inevitable
result of competition Is tho' death of
trade, or rather proflt, which Is what
trade is carried on for, bosldos being
oxtromoly wasteful.
Tho sooner this fnct is learned by
tho goneral business world tho better
It will bo for thorn. Everything Is
tending townrds combination and or
ganization. Tho business of tho coun
try Is going that way, labor is forming
Into unions. Tho air is -full of this
tendency in all linos.
And to try to stop tho formation of
trusts by legislation and other means
of Hko naturo is futile nnd useless,
as veil try to kcop back tho tides of
tho ocean with a teaspoon. It Is pro
gress. It Is tho natural evolution of
trade, as tho railroad superceded the
old freight wagon. So tho trust meth
ods of conducting business is fast dis
placing tho rapidly disappearing com
petitive method, never to return. We
nro moving up a notch higher.
Tho lntornntlonnl truat Is nlrcady
boro and will become world wide.
Anything that cannot bo absorbed
will bo crushed, thnt Is tho principle
pursued. When It becomos world
wldo nnd has supplied all markots
whoro will it find a market for Its sur
plus products. This is tho fatal so
lution of tho trust question that they
cannot niiBwer. Theso Bo-cnlled great
captains of Industry cannot nnswor
th sl question, neither enn tho leaders
of olthor of tho political partlos. It
seems to be n case of "after mo the
deluge."
As wo hnvo shown, tho farmor and
tho laborer, tho great consuming pow
er and foundation of tho nation's pros
perity has been so Impoverished
by tho procoss thoy nro subject to,
that thoy cannot buy back what thoy
havo produced, and owing to tho won
derful productivity of tho modorn la
bor saving machinery now In uso (nnd
which Is fast being Introduced Into nil
parts of tho civilized world) could
not even If thoy woro able.
Hero Is whoro socialism steps In
nnd Is the only legitimate culmination
and solution of tho trust' question.
Tho loading Socialists sco Its rnpld
appioach nnd tiro busy educating tho
workers ho as to lit them to recelvo It,
nnd havo thorn run It smoothly with
out mlatakes when It comes. The
socialist party in Orogon was formed
nud launched with this purpose In
view, nud the coming campaign Is to
bo oue of education along these linos.
Under socialism tho bulk of tho
wonlth that labor produces olthor
goes Into the puokots of tho privileged
class or Is waBted In our prosout
wasteful competitive system. It would
then go Into the pockets of the labor
er and farmer, which would ndd to
their present Incomes moro than 300
por cent.
And the Invention and Introduction
of labor saving machines would bo n
blessing to tho workers Instend of be
ing a curso ns Is now too often tho
caao. as It would shorten his hourB of
labor Instead of throwing him out of
employment. With this lncronso of
Income Instead of thero being Indus
trial stagnation nud ruin as Mr. Hannn
and some promlnont newspapers have
stated would bo tho case If wo adopt
ed socialism. The very reverse would
be the case.
Industrial development would re
ceive such nn Impetus ami bo In
creased to such au extent as has never
been equaled In any country In nny

THE SOCIAL PROBLEM.
'What shall the churches do to rec
ognize the demand for social amuse
ment nnd entertainment on the part
of the young? Shall the churches re
move tho ban against cards, dancing
nud the theatre?
Methodist ministers or Chicago, at
a banquet In the Union League Club,
discussed this matter, and a nroml-
, nent ecclesiastic ndvoented removing
the time-honored barriers against
worldy pleasures.
Tho argument is that young people
will seek worldly pleasures, and if
prohibited by the church they will
seek them and refuse to become mem
bers of the church.
The Chicago divine took the posi
tion that if the Methodist church did
uot make concessions on the line of
prohibited entertainments It would
lose Its hold on the young men and
women who lovo pleasure.
The theory of adopting a certain line
or policy to help church membership
la uot sound In loglo or principle. The
I church or Christ Is a spiritual king
dom, and its mlsslou the salvation or
tho Individual.
All meu need spiritual enlighten-
i ment ami sal ration. The spiritual d.
jvelapmeut und salvation of the Indl-
vldual will carry him or her to the
j point where card, dnuetng and thea.
I tree will Hot fascinate, and will he-
I come entirely harmless. Social evils
and daugers will disappear with the
uplifting of the race and its purlflea-
tlon.

so pioneers from all sections of the
Valloy. Tho picnic was held on tho
slto of tho historical meeting held
May 2, 1843, when, by n voto of C2 to
50, American sovereignty was declared
ovor Oregon. A monument was erect
ed about a year ago on tho site.

Those. Pianos.
Having accepted to sell out tho large
lot of pianos, as per telegram of
Jacob Doll in yesterday's papor, to
close out as quickly as possiblo at a
largo reduction from rogular cost, yes
terday wo cleaned and regulated them,
and among thorn nro somo entirely
now Btylcs. This Is surely a lovely lot
of pianos, and I am surprised at tho
pricos that aro mndo for mo at which
to sell thorn. Thoy aro a treat to seo,
oven If a person does not think of
buying. Many pianos sold at 37G,
$400 and $1C0 aro not ns nlco as these.
Thon think, only $283, $201, down to
$138. Those pricos aro a small affair
to tho others.
If you nood a piano In the noxt two
or threo yoars It pays you to buy now.
Notlco what tho Piano Purchasers'
Guldo says of Jacob Doll, manufactur
er of thoso Instruments:
"Jncob Doll Is ono of tho lnrgest and
mo8t ontorprlBlng manufacturers In
tho piano induatry, nnd hns an oxton
bIvo, finely equipped plant with all tho

onuo, Now York, manufactures up

owns largo factory on Thlrtoenth
stroot, Now York, for tho manufacture
of caBQs, Btrlngs, mouldlnga nnd other

This shows tho standing of the
houso thoy nro from, and that thoy
aro not a lot of trash. Tho safest way
Is to come and investigate. Only pi
