Wooden Manufactures Of the Northwest,

Twenty years ago it was an expert.
ment to manufacture woolens for even
the home market in Oregon or Wash
ington. Some factories failed, closed
up and stood idle for five, ten, fifteen or
more years Others pushed on and sue
ceeded. Now the business is estab-
lished. Home goods supply home and
inter- State demands. A few firms have
won wealth and fame as pioneer wool
en- manufacturers. The annual raw
wool product Of Oregon and Washing
ton has increased from SOC, 900 to s.
600, 900 pounds, and over one-sixth Of
it is woven here into fabrics. The day
of experiment is passed for this indus
try. The time is near for it to require
large part Of our home woods and
many millions of foreign to feed the
looms and fill the orders. The immi-
grants will be great consumers of these
fabrics. The Asiatics will require all
they can buy and pay for. Our position
favors rapid increase of this business.
Suppose its present pay roll for labor
alone to be $4,000 per month, which
is low estimate. the annual sum would
be S240,000. Yet wooden manufactures
in Oregon and Washington are in their
infancy. They can extend without linn
it, as raw materials, skilled labor, food
supply. water power and growing mar
kets all invite them and assure their
success--Porttand (Or.) West Shore.

The Monopolist Chairman.

The newly elected Chairman of the
Republican National Committee started
out with a blunder in his speech of ac-
ceptance which promises to cover him
with ridicule before the campaign is
over.
Mr.. Jores was indiscreet enough to
say that under Democratic admins
trations there has been languishing
trade, scant employment and poor
wages"
Passing over the Loganian grammar
as very natural lapse on the part of
the Republican Chairman, we challenge
the truth of this statement.
Mr.. Jones is fatty contradicted by tho
facts of history, for both territorially
and industrially this country was made
what it is by the Democratic party.
The Republican party never added
one foot of territory. except the Alaska
icebergs, to the public domain, SO that
labor might have room for expansion.
On the contrary the Republican par
~ robbed labor OF the territory ac-
quired by the Democratic party and
squandered it upon railroad corpora
tons.
The Republican party never protect
ed or encouraged labor. but fostered
and pampered the monopolies which
now cut down the wages of the Amer
lean workingman by importing the
semi-slave labor of Southern Europe.
Mr.. Jones is also contradicted by q
speech of James A. Garfield made on
the floor of Congress in reply to Judge
Kelley in which the late President de-
clared that this country never prospered
as it did under the Democratic tariff of
1916.
The new Chairman was particularly
unfortunate in his expression for tho
reason that it calls attention to the fact
that he himself belongs to the guild Of
millionaire employers who have more
than once compelled workingman to
accept reduced wages.
1t was but recently that the Pitts
burgh plutocrats who have coined their
millions out of the muscle and brain of
the iron workers undertook TO make q
ten per cent. reduction in wages, and
they had the hearty sympathy Of Chair
man Jones.
Labor never was more sorely dis
tressed than it has been under Kepub-
lican rule. During Democratic time
labor troubles were unheard of.
1t is only since the Republican party,
by its psohibitory tariffs, has confis-
Gated the earnings of the laborer to
build up monopolies, that strikes and
lockouts have become features in our in
dustrial history.
If political parties are to be held re-
sponsible for the condition of the coun-
try, then surely the Republican party is
answerable for the present depression in
trade, lack of employment and scant-
ness of wages
Chairman Jones win probably dis
cover before he is much older that he
can not fool anybody by pretending
that either he or his party Is devoted to
the interests Of Observation-Disclosures

ssIt's Garse."

There has been 50 much stealing done
of late years by persons of uudOubted
responsibility, and high social stand
ing, that in order to cover up their
offences, new words, the meaning OF
which it is difficult to discover, are in
vented. Shortage and shrinkage are
polite substitutes for theft. When an
educated Boston young lady entered a
public hall, she exclaimed: "Oh, dear,
what a dreadful odor of carburetted
bydrogenr'
"Mum?" said the janitor with a
puzzled countenance.
1.-The smell of carburetted hydrogen, +"
she explained.
That's no kind of gin, num-" re-
piled the janitor; that's garse; the
pipe is leaky, num-"
There are . great many public
institutions about which there is very
suspicious odor, suggestive of s'some-
thing rotten in Denmark" There is q
leak somewhere, but it is more refined
to call it carburretted hydrogen than
plain ''garse. "-Tezas Stfiings.

Commendable Consistency.

Mr.. Joseph w. Harper. one of the
proprietors of the journal of which
MIR. George w. Curtis is the editor, is
to be commended for his consistency.
As "a journal of civilization Hayper's
Weekly declines to support ticket
which owes its nomination to the baser
influences in the party and represents a
retrograde movement of political agen-
cies. His paper is forced into oppo-
sition to the Republican ticket by a
sense of the absurdity there would be
in supporting such nominations while
claiming to be q journal of civilization.
But for Mr. Harper's journal to
adopt an anti Mulligan course and he
personally to do the opposite. would be
an inconsistency which he is not willing
to be charged with. He therefore de-
clines the nomination for Presidential
Elector on tho Republican ticket in
New York. This is the first time in
the political history of the country that
an Elector has Withdrawn from the
ticket of his party on account of the
defective reputation of the leading can
didate presented by the minority con-
venti0n.
But then what else could Mr.. Harper
be expected to do under the circum-
stances? 1t could not be expected of
him that while his paper is performing
. public duty by opposing such scaly
political characters as Slippery Jim and
Dirty Work Jack. he should counte-
nance their cause by remaining on the

to whether the majority of delegates
