SALT LAKE MAIL.
From the Oregon Weekly Times, Oct %


But few persons fully appreciate the import
attached to the establishment of the mail route from
Salt Lake City to the Daes and to Jacksonville in this
Territory 1t is true that the necessities for postal COM
muncaton with that city not pressing this time
other of wants, but the results which must
necessarily flow from it will be important to this part OF
the Pacific coast Emigration, overland emigration di-
rect from the frontiers Of western States is what Or
egon has greatly needed since the first settlement of
Americans in this Territory and there has always been
large class of such persons ready to emgntc here
could be done with safety TO their families and
property. The harlships and dangers encountered by
those who have heretofore emgrated have deferred many
from coming who otherwise would. To remedy this evil
and afford to our emgrants protection it has long been
considered Indispensable that the government should pro-
vide for their safety by establishing military posts
along the route this has been neglected Millions have
by the way of the lss and the safe and speedy
transportation of our mails through foreign country
while the most legitimate and proper route through
own country has been neglected But in the establish
ment of these mai-roues step has been taken to-
wards the accomplishment of the object long desired
by every Oregonan and it directly points the esta
lishment Of protection from hostile Indians The mail
cannot be transported those routes without the es
ttbishmtnt OF military posts for protection and what
ever will serve as protection in that will be of
equal advantage to emigration. The department at
Washington, and especially faithful representative
there, through whose exertion this has been accomplish
ed, deserve much credit Let them see TO it that this
route properly established and protected and the rail
road will follow natural consequence.

REVENUE, FINANCE, AND BUSINESS.


There are may persons who regard the current
receipts Of the treasury as an infaible standard by
which the general operations OF industry and trade
to be estimated This is an error which is like
y to mslead Legislators and executive officers, and
which should be corrected for that and for
the better that the customs receipts and
those from other sources, constitute proper stan
dard by which TO measure the real condition Of
finance and labor. Two or three years ago the coun-
try was flooded with foreign goods, imported under
extraordinary stimulants. and paying large amounts
TO the government So great the receipts that
the Treasury Department felt il to be good policy to
buy up the public debt, at large premiums 1t
is manifest that the goods not all required for
consumption Extravaganza may have enlarged the
list of articles consumed as it undoubtedly did but
public confidence was universal and very much of
the imports were held speculative account.
Twenty years ago, in this way, we imported foreign
breadstuiis into the States though it is well known
that our productions at the time far exceeded
the amount consumed by our people. The vast
pansion of the currency in 1886 produced conditions
of extravaganza public and private, far exceeding
that of the last few years insomuch that the whole
industry Of the country completely perverted
and poisoned with expectations which were purely
fictitious The from the sale of the public
lands ran up to enormous figures but the lands
were not needed for cultivation. They were held,
as almost everything else was held for speculative
account 3D..
We are now on the ebb-tide of business The dis
position is almost universal to contract and forego
operations Of every description The amount cap
ital on hand is very large 1t seeks Investment in
well-accredited securities. The bonds Of States
cities and corporations of undoubted standing have
gone up ten, twenty, and in some instances thirty
per cent Money has been withdrawn from doubtful
or hazardous channels is neglected man
ufactories are crippled and all the domestic
tions are put upon short allowance. 1t is clear
enough, notwithstanding, that the import account
is no proper criterion by which to judge of the
real business of The country We are using up
old stocks. The large deposit of foreign goods in
the warehouses and in store throughout the Union
are being consumed The following tabular statement
of receipts from customs at the city of New York du
ring the last fiscal year, and for the months of July
August, September, and October, is striking proof
of this fact

This table represents with instructive force the
