Every town on the Sound appears |
to be enjoying great prosperity, and
all kinds of business seem to be IN
most fourishing condition. This was
superinduced by the construction OF
the n. P railroad, and the consequent
developement of the resources of the
country. That Puget Sound has safe
anchorage and can be entered from the
ocean without mucn danger no one
will deny; and for this reason it has
long been predicted that eventually
large commercial point would grow
into prominence in that portion of the
northwest. The coal mines and lum-
Der trade may cause quite an export
trade from the sound for many years,
and ON the strength of these very many
towns may spring into existence and
enjoy prosperity for a while; but in
time business will settle down to one
or more prominent places. Notwlth-
standing these advantages enjoyed by
the sound, there are points in Oregon
equally if not more fortunately situated.
This state has two navigable streams,
which drain large portion of the
country, and which furnish excellent
opportunities for cheap and direct
communication with the ocean. Puget
Sound has no such tributaries, and
commercial intercourse must be had
with the interior by means of railroads.
This is prestige which the Oregon
eaport-wuere,e it MAJ be To-
cated-possesses superior to any
other one in the northwest, and
which, with the exhibition OF enter
prise, will make the city in Oregon
surpass that of Washington. 1t is
true that the lack of pluck and energy
on our part has allowed our neigh
Dor to make rapid strides in advance
ment during the past few years; but
Ibis will not always continue. There
will come a time in the future when
Oregon will arouse herself from the
iethargy which has acted as an obstacle
to all attempts to inaugurate man
ufscturing industries, aud this grand
commonwealth will take the proper
position that nature designed she
should occupy as commercial and
manufacturing state

The London correspondent of the New
York Times writes: "Slr Charles Dixie
has returned from visit to Bismarck at
Friedrichsruhe convinced that there is no
present prospect of war. He says Russia
is The only power which could begin
fighting, and Russia knows perfectly well
that she is not ready for war. In his
view, which is by all odds the truest and
best informed opinion not muzzled by an
official place to be had in Europe, matters
will drift along much as they have for
the past few years until Russia has got
her RAILWAYS, troops, fleet, and armament
in condition which will seem to war
rant aggression. Until that time he
thinks there will be no treaty of alliance
with France, simply because Russia
would enter into no compact which would
put it in somebody else's power to force
her hand"

DIR. Giffen the statistician of the
British Board of Trade, says Brad
streets, is an economist who sometimes
has been thought Ly others than BIZ
metalists to lean in the direction of
blmetallism, and he has been quoted
as an authority In discussions by
blmetallists. Some of his published
statements seemed 10 give color to this
view of his opinions. For example,
in discussing economic changes since
1878, in a paper read before the Lon
don Statistical Society in December
last Oh "Reccnt Changes in Prices and
Incomes" he said that "lS73 the al
teration III the economic movement
was IN money, and to this must be as
scrihed the change of prices which has
occurred" In this statement DIR.
Gilf-n would seen to insist that money
is the main factor in the change in
prices. He has lately contributed a
paper to the NineteeqM Century in
which he seems to take contrary po-
sition, declaring that sit is the range
of prices as part of the general eco
nomic condition which helps to deter
mine the quantity of money in use,
and not the quantity of money in use
which determines prices" The two
statements here put in juxtaposition
would seem to be clearly inconsistent,
though, perhaps, DR.. Giffen may be
able to reconcile them. There can be
no doubt, however, from the criticism
of bimetalllsm which he makes in his
paper, that he can no longer BE- re-
garded as leaning towards bimetallism.

The free-trade policy of Great
Britain has not leen Conducive Of a
prosperous state of finances, however
much mem bers Of the Golden club may
say it is. There are soue British
statesmen who carefully anaIyze the
existing state of affairs, and who can
arrive at an unprejudicd conclusion re-
garding an economic policy for the ma
ton. The following extract from a
speech Of Sir Randolph Churchill, five
years ago, clearly outlines tie
financial outlook at that time:
"Turn your eyes where you will,
survey any branch Of British indus
try you like, you will find moral dis
ease. The self-satisfed radical phil
osophers will tell you it is nothing;
they point to the great volume of
British trade. Yes, the volume of
British trade is still large, but it is a
volume which is no longer profitable.
1t is working and struggling, so do the
muscles and nerves of the body of a
man who has been hanged twitch and
work violently for short time after
the operation. But death is there.all
the same, life has utterly departed,
and suddenly comes the rigor mortis.
"Well, with this state of British in
dustry, what do you find going on?
You find foreign iron, foreign wool,
foreign silk and cotton pouring into
the country, sinking you, swamping
you; your labor market is congested,
wages have sunk below the level of
life, the misery in our large towns is
too frightful to contemplate, and emf
grafton and starvation is the remedy
which the radicals offer you with the
most undisturbed complacency. But
what produced this state of things?
Free imports9 l am not sure; I
should like an inquiry; but I suspect
free imports of the murder of our in
dustries, much in the same way as if I
found man standing over a corpse,
and plunging his knife into it. 1
should suspect that man of homicide,
and 1 should recommend q coroner's
inquest and trial BY jury"

room, and took watch, 80 caliber
Smith s. Wesson revolver and small
