Every able-bodied man, woman and
child is of real value to the plsce
where they settle. Lands, however
productive, have no market yalus
without people to settle and till them
and create demand. The people of
the northwest and the railroad man
ayers understand this, md have act
ed on it. Especially have the rail-
road companies been foremost in
advancing immigration. They have
poured out their thousands of dollars
freely in advertising the country o.
long the line of their respective rail-
ways, have sent out travelling agents
through the United States, Canada
and Europe, to settlers for their lands
and so become tributaries to business
for all time. They have erected en-
igrant houses, sold them land cheap,
and ON liberal terms of payment, fur
nished low rates OF freight and pas
senger transportation, paid the men
generously who have been instru-
mental in bringing these people.
What have been the results Rail-
roads reaped, and continue to reap
golden harvests. Towns and cities
have grown as if by magic all over
the West. The prairies have been
converted into productive farms.
This wealth comes from labor rightly
put forth. - Exchange.

A New Departure.

TIE Oregonian isnorantly re-
prints the following statemcnt
from the Telegram:
II all The AsroRrAN says against
the Columbia river bar be true,
then Astoria might as well give up
her aspirations to become a sea-
port. Portland, for her part. can
ship through Yaquina bay or Pu-
get Sound.
This paper never says anything
sagainst" the Columbia bar. 1t
gives publicity to facts facts that
exist and obtain, whether we spoke
of them or not-facts that are
patent to all. 1t is not in any
spirit of controversy or objection
that we write of the bar; it is to
combat the ideas that Portland
tries to convey, viz: that the
bar is good enough as it is-that
all that is wanted is more tugs; that
the assertions of THE AsToRIAN
relative to the bars condition are
not in accordance with the facts;
in a word that no UeSSel should be
induced to come to the Columbia
that can't go up to Portland.
That's where the shoes pinch Oh
the feet of Portlandites.
AS for Astoria's Inspirations"
about being a seaport, it need but
be said that communities never
aspire to what they already possess
The negative. Side of this propo-
sition can be taken up by our In
land neighbor if it feels $50 dis
poged."
But the rich part of this is thu
statement that Portland ''can ship
through Yaquina bay, or Puge
sound" Our Portland contem
porary bases its claim to being ;

facetious statements. Willard told
the Portlandites last Fill that the,
could build warehouses on tn
Sound, and now another discovere

As a matter of literary merit
the lsbsSed mendacity of the Ore
gonssn is more to be admired thai
the thonghtless folly of the dizz

dorses by republication.

which now seems the most prob
able is to stop the reduction of
the debt, maintain the heavy tax
OF imports aud reduce the tax on
whisky. All this is, no doubt,
very sensible; only it req IIres ex-
trAnrdInlry sigacity to see it. The
dent must he p"rpetl1ted IN or
der to en- ,hle it, holders to draw
interest; the tariff cannot he re-
duced, because it would diminish
the profits of some, if not all OF
the great monopoly manufacturing
interests. As money is coming
in faster than Congress can aopro'
pirate it, there can be a reduction
in the revenue by cheapening the
price of whisky for the manufac-
turer.

THROUGHOUT the western states
the official guillotine has been put
in operation; several government
employees who had been guilty of
upholding Garfield having been
made the victims. 1t looks now
as if every federal Office in the
United States was to be packed
with men who must implicitly
obey orders from Washington.
a most compact political machine
seems to be in process of forma-
ton. 1t may be for the nomina-
ton of Grant or of Arthur. But
the candidate thus nominated can
never he elected. There Is too
strong an antagonism against that
kind of politics in the minds OF
the people to permit such tactics
to be successful.

''aspires" TO be a seaport. To-

water when she came over the bar

One Way of Doing It,,

THE present secretary of the
treasury is not in favor of the pol
icy OF using the surplus receipts
Of the government for the pay
ment of the public debt. He
thinks that we have been paying
it off too fast, and that e;hiug
ought to be left 10 posterity. There
is very large class of persons
who are nervous from the fear
that the debt will be paid up in
few years. On what basis, they
argue, can we have national
banking system. if there he no
federal bonds to deposit as secur-
ity for the circulation? And then
this class of persons particularly
desire that it be remembered "a
national debt is a national bless
ing" Some great capitalists are
also disturbed, lest the debt be
paid off, and they be given no op-
portunity to buy bonds and have
no further trouble with their un-
wieldy millions. Probably from
this class comes the heaviest op-
position to the immediate reduc-
ton of the debt. The whole of
the indebtedness Of the United
States would be Cancelled in about
ten years if Congress does not
put any extraordinary burden
upon the country. The federal
taxation is heavy, but yet so gen
eral, so indefinite, SO indirect as
not to be felt as a very severe
hardship by anyone. If the coun-
try only paid what is actually
taken In at the revenue and Gus
toms offices, it could be suffered
to stand as at present, but the in
ternal and internal system of tar
if imposes direct and grievous
burdens which are crushing to some
of our best interests as a people.
Ii some Of that burden were re-
moved the people might feel more
inclined to pay interest on the
public debt for an indefinite
length of time, but that alterna.
tive is not proposed. The plan

II NJ. Lesseps's new paper an
interesting article appears, giving
the description Of the Savannah,
the first steamboat that ever crossed
the Atlantic. 1t is just sixty-three
years, says this paper, since the
Savannah, a vessel of $50 tons,
sailed from the port after which
she was named. to Liverpool. The
vessel was built by Francis Fichett
at New York, in 1918, and after
ward fitted with engines made at
Morristown, New Jersey. The
credit of crossing the ocean is due
to John Scarborough, who bought
the steamer just after she left the
stocks. 1t is stated that when the
novel ship with funnel arrived
off Cape Clear, she was supposed
to be on FIRE, and a cutter was sent
from the naval station at Cork to
her relief. A ru1nor having OBJ
tanned credence that she was de-
signed to rescue Napoleon from
St. Helena, u sharp watch was
kept upon her. The real object
was to sell her at profit, and she
was offered to the Swedish and
Russian governments, but as nci-
ther would buy her, she oncp
more made the ocean passage to
New York, traded between that
port and Savannah, and was finally
wrecked on Long Island.

THE Standard, in speaking OF
Republican papers in this state,
says that they are ''created by
special orders from their owners,
whose mission it Is to build up
the man that gives them existence.
They have no political principle
to contend for but the offices, and
their mission is one to create aud
destroy" This is grave accnsa-
ton, and, if so, is not at all credit
able to the good name Of the COM
mon@ealth.
