A reader Of the DEMOCRAT wants
us to explain what the Credit bio.
bilier" meaus, of which the country
has heard SO much recently and
about which Patterson OF New
Hampshire, Harlan of Iowa, Ames
of Massachusetts,, and Smiler Colfax,
know thing or two. Credit on
Movables" is the definition, and it was
construction company organized
within the Union Pacific Railroad
Company exclusively, and made all
the constructions and equipment con-
tracts for that road. Or, the Union
PaciGc Company, as the Mobilier
Company, contracted with itself for
material and work, at prices from
sixty to two hundred per cent, above
what outsiders would have contract
ed for. In 1868 the Mobilier stock
yielded 425 per cent.--a very COM
Portable dividend indeed, and it seems
that between April, 1866, and De-
cember, 1868, the "divoys" were 715
per cent, in Pacific stock, 730 per
cent, in first mortgages bonds, and
GO per cent, cash--in all only 1,505
per cent. 1t ought to be added that
these dividends TO the Credit Mo
belier Company were in part COM
pensation for building the road.
The actual cost OF construction was
s3C, ,22l 900, while the sum paid was
about SG9, 600, 900, and under the
influence of the operation the Cred
it Mobilier stock rose from below
par to 225. The profit to the Mo-
bilier Company was over $50, ,779, OO6
several million OF which was used
to corrupt Congress and to see that
no unfriendly legislation was had.
1t is no wonder that the Pacific road
cannot pay the interest on its bonds,
and that it is in arrers TO the govern
ment some s12, ,G00, go.

A Disease with a Thousand Symptom.

Dyspepsia is the mast perplexing of all hu-
man ailments. Its symptoms are almost infin-

This Is due, in part to the close sympathy exist
ing between the stomach and the brain, and in
part also to the fact that any disturbance of the
digestive function necessarily disorders the liv-

THE INGATHERING OF THE FARMERS.
Notwithstanding the rainy, dfizzly,
gloomy weather which prevailed
throughout the whole of the day, last
Saturday ushered in the dawn of a
new and brighter era for the farmers
of "Old Linn" inaugurating, as it did,
an organized movement which is to
disenthrall them from the vassalage of
those soulless corporations and grasp
ing monopolies who have heretofore
pocketed the fruits of their labors and
grown rich upon the profits from
their hard worked soil.
At the hour of IL o'clock A. NJ. the
spacious court room was literally
crowded with tho producers of the
county, and we can safely assert that
never has a more intelligent, temper
ate, and dignified assemblage con-
vened in the county than was this
one.

HON. JOHN II. SMITH,

| HON. JOHN III. SMITH,
of Harrisburg, being loudly called up
on for speech. was introduced by
the President, and proceeded to ad-
dress the Convention upon the object,
aims and purposes of the Farmers or
Plantations. He said that, being at
the present time farmer himself, he
| felt and understood some of the diff
culties which the producer labors un-
der because of the exactiops of trans
portation monopolies and the heavy
commissions charged by warehouse
owners. He understood that this
organization was for the purpose OF
devising ways and means for the pro-
ducers' protection against these iDju-
ries. One source of relief for the far
mers bad already been offered in the
low prices of transportation at which
the opposition steamboat line of Teal
Goldsmith & Co.. propose to carry
farm products. He believed it to be
every citizens duty to patronizc this
line. and thus encourage healthy op-
position to the transportation COM
panies who have heretofore had ex-
elusive control of the Willamette
Valley. Those lines had no respect
or consideration for the farmers while
they had the farmers at their mercy
now he was in favor of the farmers
giving them in return few doses of
their own medicine. The new line
offers to carry freight at one-third the
rates charged by the old transporta-
tion companies, and it is the duty of
the people to see that such liberal
rates are perpetuated by a like liberal
patronage. He thought the mer-
chants and importers of Oregon
ought to purchase in Liverpool and
other foreign markets, SO as to secure
tonnage for our wheat expectations.
We cannot expect ships to come here
in ballast and carry away our wheat
at as cheap rates as they could if they
had cargoes both ways. He said he
could not enter into full discussion
of this tonnage question without get
ting on the old free trade doctrine
which bad divided the two great po-
litical parties of the nation in former
days, and any question which would
stir up political "reminiscences would
