THE OREGON SALMON SEASON

ATTOW ttC IDCotpft 4 IFUHsCTtpt.I
During the last salmon season on
the Columbia river, Oregon-generslly
lasting three months, commencing
about the 1st of May-350, 900 cases OF
canned salmon, each case containing
forty eight one pound cans, were pre-
pared by the different fisheries for the
market; 1872 900 cases were sent to San
Francisco for shipment east by rail,
and the rest have been and are being
shipped direct to China, Japan, Aus
tralia, Sandwich Islands, South Ameri-
can States and Europe, selling at
wholesale at s. and IS so per case
(gold,) making in the aggregate nearly
81, ,00O, 900.
The men employed in catching the
fish received from twenty to twenty
five cents each salmon, some of them
last season earned during the season
1880. About 10000 were caught,
for which over $500, 600 were paid. A
considerable number of salmon are
also prepared in other ways for the
market-salted, smoked and dried
probably one third as many more. The
salmon fisheries were first established
on the Columbia in 1851, and are in
creasing every year. The oil of the
fish is utilized at some of the fisheries
and sold for railroad and other purpo-
ses. The profit to the packers last
season amounted to 81 per case, one
establishment putting up 40,0OO cases.

UH0t the National Banking
.SUSfem Cost the ReODLP

The greenbacks cost the people moth
ing, but the national bank notes cost US
an enormous sum. On every 800, 900
of national bank NJ tes in circulation,
the people pay 81, 900 in the shape of
interest on the bonds deposited in the
United States Treasury. The $780,
OO0, 900 of national bank currency we
now have, costs the people annually
S23, 10O,OO If the entire paper circu-
lation which We now have, $765, ,619,-
6S5, Is converted into national bank
notes, it will cost the people $40
554 $50.
And yet some newspapers say that
this is not the proper time to attack
National banks, but the opponents of
this system should wait until business
is prosperous. But when times are
hard, business dull and work difficult
to get, at living wages, is the proper
time to look into our financial troubles
and not wait until business is better,
for such a period may never arrive.
The people are not to be humbugged
in this way. Twenty-three millions,
one hundred thousand dollars the gov.
ernment gives to the National banks
ouh uoiiy vi ~ othcl "oius W the TlCu,
and not one cent to the workingmen.
In England they grant annuities to the
reigning family, while in this country
annuities are given to the National
banks, which under q recent decision
of the Supreme Court of the United
States, can charge any rate OF interest
they choose, not being restricted by
the laws of the States. Is this right?
Should one class of people be favored
by law to the detriment of another
class? What right has the govern
ment to take the money of the tax pay
ers aud actually give it to the National
banks9 Let the people ponder over
these facts.

CURRENCY.

The following points in the letter from
the Hon. f, w. Hughes, U. s. Senator
from Pennsylvania, upon the currency
question, viii be of interest to every one
who has given this question any atten-
ton.
First. That national money Clubs be
or ganized, as far as practicable, in the
several congressional districts through
out the Union, and that there be a GEN.
trail club in each district, composed Of
delegates from tlfe clubs Of such dis
trict.
Second. That national organization
be perfected as soon as possible, through
the selection by each of The central clubs
Of Que delegate and one alternate to a
National Convention.
Third. That to further this move
ment there be mass convention, to
meet as early as the first of January
next, in CINCINNATI or Louisville, or
otheY suitable point, which shall select
lecturers from the Democratic, Republi-
can and Labor organizations, to discuss
the national money question throughout
the country, and to aid in the organza-
tion of clubs. The convention also to
appoint national committee with au-
thoritJ to fix the time and place for
holding a national convention.
Fourth. That it be made fundamen-
tai doctrine with each club TO support
no nan AS representative in Congress- or
for the Presidency, who will not public
ly and fully subscribe
1st. To the immediate aid uncondi-
tional repeal of the Resumption Act of
the last Congress.
Cd, That the Government shall issue
paper legal tenders, for all debts pub
lie and private; except where contracts
require payment in coin, convertible
into Federal bonds the principal of
which shall be payable in gold at
such rate of interest as will keep such
bonds at par with gold in the CONNER
cial countries of the world or at home
and that such issue shall be limited
only by the wants of trade, to be de-
termined by the reconversion of such
paper legal tenders into such bonds,
and back again into such legal tenders
as required.
The benefits of such money must be
that it cannot be effected by monetary
disturbances in other countries, and it
will be afforded at such low rate of
interest as will revive our ship build
ing and the carrying of our freights
upon the sea in American bottoms, and
will afford protection to our manufac
lures, mechanical, agricultural and
commercial interests, against foreign
competition; will give to labor better
and just compensation will practically
pay off the most of the Federal debt,
and save forced repudiation and our
business men, our railroad men, and
other corporations, public as well as
private. from bankruptcy or financial
dishonCr.
This organization will beside secure
to the people currency that will
emanicipate them from the money
| oligarchy, and save the Republic
from the overthrow that would te the
practical result of the election of Grant

The commissioners of the Freedman's
bank now have three hundred thousand dol

require six hundred thousand dollars in hand
to declare dividend OF twenty per cent. A
large number of debtors have paid to the in

have offered the real estate of the debtors for
sale at auction, but owing to insuiticiency Of
bids, have bought in the property themselves
The question has been raised that the COM
missloners have not the power to acquire real
estate, but that their duty is to realize money
only, to be distributed among the depositors.
Many OF the depositors are selling their bank
books at ten cents on the dollar. The attor

ers cannot resign their offices, as they pro-
posed doing several months ago.

Rules of the Road.

The great leading rule is that no one
has the right to be in the middle of the
road, except when no other person is
present to claim his right to the use OF
one half the highway, which claim he
has precisely the same right to assert
when travelling in the same direction
that he has when he meets another.
This is the law of every state in the
union, and, SO far as we are informed,
of every civilized country; and all per-
sons violating it are liable for all dam
ages resulting from their conduct.
When teams meet, the American law
is that each, turning to the right, shall
give half the road. The custom and
the law of England require teams to
turn out to the left-as expressed in an
old doggerel:
The rule OF tho road ia Il paradox quite;
In riding or driving along
II YOU keep to the left. you are sure to go
right &.
II you keep to the right, you go wrong.
In passing, the person in front is re-.
duired to turn to the left, so as to allow
the person in the rear, who is travelling
at more rapid pace, to pass by on his
right.
Where teams approach at right an
giles, or intersecting roads, it is the
duty of the person who, by turning to
the right, would pass to the rear of the
other team, to pull up, and allow the
other to psss.
In wide streets in towns and cities,
these general principles should always
be observed, though, from the necessi-
ties of the case, persons are less strict
in keeping on the proper side OF the
street, being frequently obliged, with
proper care for the rights of others, to
pass to the other side to avoid crowd
or other obstruction.
A person with light vehicle meeting
or desiring to pass heavily-laden team,
especially if the latter is going up hill,
will generally turn out without requir-
ing the loaded wagon to give half the
road, but the law imposes no such obli-
CATION in any case, and under all cir
cu1stances requires each to give hall the
road, unless by accident or some OBJ
struction it is found impossible to do
so. ,
If n person happens to be IN the
wrong place on the road or street, a per.
son coming in collision with him is not
entitled to damages If, by the use OF
ordinary and reasonable diligence, he
could have avoided 1t.

SOUTH.

The trustees Of the Southern railroad

pany the contract to build the bridge over the

and seventy-five feet high and twelve hundred

The Louisiana levee company ct al.
have brought suit against Thos. A. Scott and
II. s. McCombs for 1892, for violation of

Combs agreed to furnish all capital necessary

its contract with the state, but failed to do so,
consequently this suit.
Arkansas planters are complaining
greatly of the unprecedented destruction of
mules and horses and cattle by the buffalo
gnats. It il estimated that within the past
ten days a hundred thousand work stock have
been killed by them within a radius OF a hun
dred miles OF Memphis, and the consequence
has been heavy advance in the price of
mules and horses.
The court of claims has made decree
in accordance with the opinion heretofore rem
dered in the Arkansas Hot Springs case. The
decree declares that the plaintiffs case is not
legal or'equitabe title to the property, and
that the ttle rests wholly and absolutely in
the United States The court directs that the
property be taken, held and possessed by a
receiver to be appointed by the court Of claims,
who rhall take charge of the same for use, til
congress shall by law direct that the SAME
shall be disposed Of. The receiver il not tC
be appointed until final decree is rendered
and he s not to take possession Of the prop
erty until it has been adjudicated by thc
supreme court to he the property Of th,
