Is not this State and county election?
You say the question is settled, when you
know it can be repealed so far as Cecil Co.
is concerned, and in all of the State now
under Prohibition, by any adverse legisla-
ture; and yet the majority of voters of Cecil
will support men known to be unfriendly to
their wishes on this question.
No other issue has so directly to do with
even local taxation. If pa, tial enforce
ment of law by its enemies has done so much
to reduce vice end crime and criminal ex-
penses. what might not the same law do il
its friends could enforce ii?
These friends are now chiefly divided in
two hostile camps led by men who are in
open alliance with the National saloon
power and who are ready to raise any bat
tie cry to keep you at war with each other,
lest you break their yoke ofbondage.
Both Republican and Democratic parties
are the servants of the monied power ard
while both denounce trusts and monopolies,
and both denounce the influx of foreign
pauper labor, they are equally dependent
upon the money Of the former and the pur.
chasable vote of the latter for their cortin-
ued existence.
1t is too true, just as their candidates have
said, that there is nothing to be gained by
letting the truth be know and publicly
meeting each other. II is a much safer
amusement to pomel dead issues than to
meet the representatives of live ones face TO
face. GEO BALDERsToN.

The Proarae Farmer raises a war

ing voice against Wall Streets reck.
less speculation, but falls into fatal
error when it attributes the depres-
sion of farm produce to imitation of
the currancy or the object of Wall
Street to be that of more currancy.
There has been shrinkage of the
currancy of 1870 millions within the
last five years by the withdraw of
National Bank votes, which is going
steadily on at the vote of Sc million
annually. This deficit has been
partially supplied by silver certifica'
ties, and the recent purchase of bonds
by the Treasurer has released several
millions of money which was locked
up in the Treasury. There is still
700 millions lying there idle. The
smaller the volume Of currancy the
more able the spectators are to
handle it, depress prices and buy up
property. 1t has been the constant
study of the Wall Street gold ring
gamblers and spectators to get the
three hundred and fortysix millions
of green backs drawn in and cancel
ed by the government and gold
bonds issued in their stead
This specializing combination have
manipulated the financial policy of
the government SO as to keep large
surplus accumulating in the treasury,
which had to be expended inpurchas
ing bonds to prevent stagnation in
the business of the country, and from
this cause alone the bonds have been
kept up to an unwarranted premium,
the Treasurer paying these gamblers
as high as % per cent premium on
4 per cent securities, in order to pre-
vent a money famine while this
causes the National Banks to return
their notes and withdraw their bonds
from the Treasurer's custody. Thus,
while the gold gamblers have put up
the premium on bonds, they have
forced the National Bank notes out
of circulation. Had there been no
money in the treasury beyond enough
for current demands there would have
been no premium on bonds, for there
would have been no object in Great
ing premium.
And how was that surplus kept up
IN the treasury? Mainly by an in ter
nal revenue tax of one hundred and
twenty to thirty millions annually
on tobacco and whiskey, by which
the most dangerous and gigantic
monopolies have been created that
are now controlling the government
of the country, state and national.
1t is not the high tariff that causes
the surplus. A lower tariff would
produce much more revenue. A
very high import duty is largely
prohbatory. "A prohlbatory duty
assists manufactures and whole
salers of many articles to form trusts
in those articles, while railroad dis
ordinations have assisted to manu-.
pull at trusts in others; and our Natio.
nal government for the last twenty
years has been mainly in the hands
of these three classes of monopolies,
which the people are preparing to
bust. Hence the howl heard from
these innocents now. The Inter.
State Commerce Law which is put
ting bit in the mouth of railroad
arrogance is little less than the devil
incarnate, the railroad magnates
declare; the reconciliation or free
coinage of sill, er would bring ruin
on the country the gold ring bowls;
and trusts are largely private affairs
that Congress has no right to NEEDLE
with! We will see.

The Inter- Ocean claims that Chicago
is again on triel in the Cronin murder
as lit was in the anarchists
Haymarket plot. 1t may be true that
the police system of this great city
has been put to severe test in
these two cases; but it can no
more reflect ON the city in gen.
eral than the Whitechapel murders
do on London. There are lights and
shadows il, every large city, and in the
shadows will he found crime and viii
lainy of the deepest dye, and in the
sunlight benefcence, benevolence and
Christian charity. In the slums of
the great English metropolis crime
stalks unchecked, and in certain local
tiles in Chicago perhaps the same may
be as truly said. But the larger the
number of people congregated in any
one place the more crime will be ram
pant, and the more diverse the differ.
ent phases of human character. The
Whitechapel murders, the anarchists
assassinations and the cruel butchery
of DR.. Cronin are as horrible
to the better classes of London and
Chicago as to any other city. Condemn
the lack of vigilance of the police In
any place, but do not place the whole
town or city, good or bad, under con-
demnation for the acts of ore or

dians of the peace.

The growth of the west Is nowhere
more apparent than in the four new
states which will soon be admitted
into the union. New York, with her
SO electoral votes, has always been
considered the pivotal state of the
union, and during elections common
saying is, GAS goes New York SO goes
the nation" But Mr.. Frank Hiscock,
senator from New York, says this will
BE- true no longer. The center of pop
ulation is moving west, and the day is
not far distant when the voice of Cali
fornia, Oregon, Washington and Idaho
will not be unheeded in the national
legislature. After the next census
the states which now have such pre-
ponderance OF representation will wit
ness others in the line of progress, and
whose votes in congress, if consoli-
dated, will outnumber theirs.

of the northwest during the last de-

be so during the next ten years.

erection of manufacturing industries
wealth and population will be at

One of our exchanges has suggest

which is entitled to more just criti-

From our territorial exchanges ii
seems that every town in Washington
is increasing in wealth and prosperity,
and we are sorry we cannot say the
same of the cities of Oregon. There
are four cities in Washington with
more population than any city in Ore
gon. except Portland, which, few
years ago, were only small towns.
The natural resources of this state are
equal to any in the union, and the
only reason for the growth Of Wash
ington is the indomitable energy of
the people in pushing business of all
kinds forward. This energy will
build cities in desert places, and take
every advantage of channels of trade.
Oregon appears to be- devoid of enter
prise, and lies dormant while her
neighbor is advancing. We cannot
tell how long this will continue; but
we presume until new blood supplants
the sluggish current which now
exists.

EDITORIAL NOTES,

1t seems to be the earnest wish of
southern Democrats that the negroes
emigrate to Mexico; but the negroes
desire the Bovrbons to 60 to more

The latest proclamation of war by

Of gold, silver and coal could be made
accessible to this city, and by the ex-
ercise of proper business enterprise
they could be made factor of de-

this subject, Mr.. Crandall has just
returned from the Clackamas mines,
distant about seventy miles, and
brought with him some very
fine specimens. These contain good
indications, and it is very likely they
will assay well. However this may

MERCHANT MARINE.

Since the rebel privateers drove our
commerce from the high seas the mer-
= chant marine of the United States
has not been very large. A good
2ortion of our products has been car.
ried in foreign bottones, and the grain
fleets which leave our shores annually
have been principally composed of
English ships. 1t may be that with
the increase of diversified industries
it was found more advantageous
to sell our products at home than to
export them. But the policy of pro-
lection has so enhanced the excellency
of our manufactured articles that they
should seek foreign markets, and with
the construction of our new navy it is
desirable that we should have fleet
of ocean-going vessels to carry our
flag and our fabrics to foreign ports.
It cannot be expected that we shall
attempt to send fabrics to Manchester
or cutlery to Sheffield, although these
articles manufactured in this coun-
try compare very favorably with the
British product, but we have con-
tinent of our own without crossing
the Atlantic. The Central and South
American nations have: hitherto been
dependent upon British capital for de-
velopment and British goods tor house.
hold use. This is our field of OPERA
lions, and we have no fear of success
full competition. The treasury is now
full to overfow;ng, and some of this
could be expended in granting subsi-
dies to steamship lines to South Amer
can ports. As result, in a few years,
a lucrative commerce would be built
up, and a very remunerative mar
ket opened for our wares. A
very favorable opportunity for the
opening of these channels of trade pre-
sents itself in the Pan-American con-
gress soon to be held in Washington.
There will be representatives present
from all nations on this continent, and
treaties could be made
with each. It would be as much to
the advantage of these countries to
trade with the United States as with
and if the articles are equal
n quality there would be no disparage-
nent. With Secretary Blaine as
resident of the congress, our people
