The Union Pacific, when it charges
as high freight rates as the producers
can bear, is simply following the same
rule of business as the merchant is
when he sells his goods at the highest
figure. Again, it is according to the
best rules of trade for each communi.
ty to help itself, and procure the low
est rates of transportation possible.
The Dalles, in placing boats on the
river to do the carrying trade, is fol-
lowing business principle as clearly
defined and as old as the hills, When
the company awakens to the fact that
we are in earnest about this matter,
and see that the Canadian and North
efn Pacific are dividing trade with it at
the very gateway of the Ialand Empire,
il may realize that the same law of
trade which says sell at the highest
price also says pay the least possible
amount for any article. 1t is business
for the Union Pacific to charge the
highest freight rates the people will
stand, and it is also business for the
people to place boats on The river, and
to the trade-of Eastern Ore
,on competing lines.

If the River and Harbor bill does
not pass this session of congress some
body will be blamed, and if Mr.. Nit
chell comes up for reelection he will
very likely receive no support from
Eastern Oregon. Our necessities are
such in this portion Of the state that
We are forced to remember our friends
and not forget our enemies, and, fur
thermore, we are entitled to senator.
Western Oregon has controlled the con.
gressional delegation long enough, and
it is high time that change should
take place. This part of the state has
been too long subservient to Portland,
the Cascade Locks to the mouth of
the Columbia, and the upper river to
the Willamette. and we should study
our own interests in the future In
preference to any other. The next
senator should he from Eastern Ore
gon, and we should work with this
single purpose in view.

Ever since Peter the Great reor-
ganized the great Russian empire its
primary object has been acquisition of
territory. A monarchy of the most
arbitrary and despotic elements there
is no line of action which it will fail
to adopt to carry out this principle.
For over century the Czar has cast
covetous eyes upon the Mediterranean
sea as a commercial output, and if it
had not been for the sagacity and
promptness o. Lord Beacons6eld he
would long since had a footing in
Constantinople. Beaten back by the
British fleet, when the prize was al
most within his grasp, he has never
given up the ulterior object of possess
ing line of seacoast on tie south of
Europe. Now there are complaints of
Turkish rule in Armenia, and Russia
is pouring war materials to the front
as rapidly as possible. If not stopped
by Turkish or English soldiers the
Gar will have procured such a foot
hold in Armenia that it will be nearly
to dislodge him. British
and German diplomacy may bridge
over this ehasm for time; but the
day is not far distant when it will
take something more than threats to
stop the invading Russians. Con-
stantinople or India have been the
goal fer many years, and hardly a
month passes that encroachments are
not made, and the Gear is nearer the
object of his desires.

Great excitement has been created
ia Washington City by the fact be-
coming known that President Harri-
son has purchased property at Glen
Echo, suburb of the capital, and the
mugwump and Democratic press have
criticised him severely. We can sec
no reason for debarring the executive
of the nation from dealing in real es-
tate any more than other citizens.
As an individual he has choice of To-
cations, and should be given the privi-
lege of choosing where he should make
his summer residence, if this does not
interfere with his official business
The great point of difference between
a president and king is that the for
mer is simply an esteemed citizen of
the republic, while the latter is sup
posed to be created of better material
than ordinary individuals, and a GER
tain divinity doth hedge" him around.
But this superstition is rapidly giving
way to common sense, and in the next
decade monarch in Europe will be
considered no greater than an execu-
tive in this country.

The diplomatic correspondence be-
tween Secretary Blaine and Premier
Salisbury is not published, and there
fore it is difficult to form an opinion
upon the merits of the controversy.
Of course, it is patriotic to uphold our
country whether right or wrong,
and view with prejudiclal favor
any position assumed by our Off
cials. But, truth is truth wherever
found, whether on the side of our most
inveterate enemy or in the position
taken by our most steadfast friends.
The question of Behring sea, whether
it is an open or closed sea, is one for
the family of nations to decide, and
not to he settled by any resort to arms
by two nations, otherwise friendly.
Until the full correspondence is pub
lished, it would not be fair to form a
conclusion.

The Dalles is properly situated to
maintain its prestige as the center of
trade for Eastern Oregon. Even if
the railroad does everything to kill
the city it can yet live and prosper.
by placing boats on the Columbia
river it will welcome into the fed of
competition the Canadian Pacific, a
company with sufficient capital to hold
its OWE in any contest, and which does
rot now receive a pound of freight
from the Inland Empire except over
the line Of the Union Pacific. This
would produce a revolution in business
matters, and our producers would re-
ceive the most favorable freight
rates.

HEROIC TREATMENT.

The northwest is. in open revolt
against the Union Pacific railroad
company, and is seeking relief by every
possible means from the extortionate
rates imposed upon them. Walla
Walla and Pasco have organized
steamboat company, and will soon
have craft on the Columbia river be-
tween the later place and Cello. The
Dalles should do something to make
this movement a factor of develop
ment, and some connection with Cello
should be Immediately inaugurated.
By such an exhibition of enterprise
this city has the opportunity to make
itself the Chicago Of the northwest;
but have our business men the ''grit"
or "pluck" to take advantage OF our
situation? If we have not, We deserve
the treatment we have received for
number of years past. There is no
truer aphorism in the wealth OF Eng
Iish literature THAI the terse and trlte
one of "God helping those who help
themselves" This requires no par
ticular genius-which permeates the
intellect as suddenly as tbunderboit
at noontide-but is the natural result
of analytic reasoning. The citizens CT
The Dalles have the possibilities OF
making their city second only to Port
land; but they lack the pluck and
perseverance to accomplish the Pur-
poses within their grasp. Our bust
ness men are curnmerciai CO wards, who
will not risl, anything without having
the "cent per cent" i'll the hollow OF
their hands. We want our citizens to |
take this sentence home with them,
and cogitate upon it. 1t is the custom
of physicians where the disease is vio-
lent and chronic to administer heroic |
treatment. This apathy towards pub
lie enterprise has become deep-seated
in the body polite, and to restore it
to a normal condition will require pre-
scriptions that will scorch and burn
the tender cuticie. Our duty as
is to nresent facts in
their true light, and warn the
people of the danger of not
needing them. We have done so, and
if The Dalles in the next five years
dwindles to village of 500 popula-
tion, our duty has been performed;
but if it increases to 10000 or 5000
we shall feel thankful that we made a
proper diagnosis and administered the
proper remedy.

POLITICAL INDEPENDENTS.

What is Reput' ;cauism and what is
Democracy are pertinent questions to
every oA, who votes oonscientiously
and as his judgment dictates. If a
man believes in the national platform
adopted by either party it will attract
him to the organization; but it is not
necessary TO sacrifice his manhood, in
telligence and independence by sup
porting and defending every wrong
perpetrated by members of the party.
This is servility, which is only one de,
gree removed from affect slavery. To
support the actions of any political
con invention, without exercising dis
elimination and judgment. would be

free government could exist very
long under such circumstances. Fealty
to party-not To principles-savors Of
feudaIisu, and the world would soon
revert back to the bar rbarism Of the
middle ages if this rule were fol.
lowed. Corrupt politicians could per-
petrate their rule indefinitely, and our
boasted freedom would lie the greatest
farce ever enacted. The American
people think no less of Mr.. Randall
who ellis an honored grave-because
he differed with his party on the tariff
question. He was no less a Demo-
crat because he honestly believed that
protection was the better policy for
the nation and possessed the courage
to advocate his convictions on the
floor of congress The word "fealty"
is an obsolute word in republican gov
ernment, and is not at all applicable to
the adherence which honest men give
to an organization. 1t is applicable
only to that age of the world in which
the Inhabitants were divided into the
two classes of serfs and masters, and
knights and retainers. To expect
such servllity in the United States
is contrary to the spirits of our lnsti
tutions, and the result of it would be
to chsnge free government to the
worst kind of despotism and mon
archical tyranny Independence in

Mr.. Blaine is trying 20 inaugurate
reciprocity treaties with the South
American republics. and By this means
extend the trade Of the United States.
For many years English capital has
been invested in these countries, and
her merchants have controlled the
trade. While this country cannot
manufacture goods as cheaply as Great
Britain, because of the high price of
wEes in the United States, yet, with
Yankee Ingenuity, some plan could be
devised by which we could share trade
with the merchants of England. And,
perhaps, the effort now being made by
MIR. Blaine may be successful. But it
cannot te expected that Brazil, Chill
and Peru will willingly open their
ports 10 our fabrics, while what they
have TO sell is taxed in our markets.

should be the same to them, and there
would be no consequent evils. In
opening our markets to South America
we are not challenging competition
with countries which have reduced the
cost of articles to the minimum, as we
would be in the case of England. An
objection may be made to reciprocity
by wool ol-erowers, who know that the
plains Of the Argentine republic can
send the product to the Boston mar
ket much cheaper than the sheepmen
of the west, aud this should be care
fully watched. In opening market

We have heard little or nothing of
the Union Labor party since they
elected Governor Pennoyer ir June.
Perhaps in 1892 they may be sufi-
ciently organized to enter the presi-
dental campaign, and lend aid to the
Democracy by drawing votes from Re-
publican ranks. This would be good
Democratic tactics, and we have not
seen a third party movement for
years that We did not think had a
Democratic godfather or god-mother.

of affairs should not exist in free
country, where government, in all its
departments, is supposed to be sub
servient to the wishes of the people.
The bill now under consideration, and
which is severely criticised by the
Democratic press of the country, sim
ply aims to protect the purity of the
ballot at general elections of govern
ment officials. This will cause no
hardship to any patriotic citizen, and
no one has right to complain except
lie is of that class who attempts to con-
troll the ballot by unfair means.

A meeting of the board Of trade
should be called Immediately to help
on the schemes now under considera-
ton for the prosperity of The Dallcs.
We must face facts as they exist, and
not mince matters In the least. For
the future growth of the city 1t is nee
essary that boats should be put on the
river, railroads constructed to the In
terror, and manufacturing industries
lnaugurated. 1t is simply a question
of life or death, and we must decide
soon which it shall be.

There is very little hope for the
River and Harhor bill this session,
according to the dispatches to-day.
It will very likely sleep the sleep that
knows no waking until congress con-
venes again next December. All
the bombast that was tele-
graphed ovef the wires before the
late election apparently amounts to
nothing for the benefit of the pro-
ducer; although it may have increased
the vote for the Republican congress-
man last June. There will he sem
atorial election at the next meeting of
the legislature, and as this bill has
been put to Sleep in the senate it may
he well to make change in our rep
resentation in the upper house.
Western Oregon has controlled con-
gressionul matters long enough for
Eastern Oregon to demand some rec.
ognition. We are satisfied if the
River and Harbor li!I was an all
important subject to Multnomah coun-
ty the senator who expects reelection
would spare no efforts to insure its
passage; but he expects few votes
from Eastern Oregon, and can afford
to ignore that portion of the state.
1t is now the opportune time for the
boards of trade in the cities interested
in the free navigation of the Columbia
to hold meetings and press upon the
senate the urgent need of the passage
of the bill, as an open river is the
only means of relief the producers of
the northwest have against the op-
preston of corporations. A demand
now for action may have good effect;
but if there is any further delay eil
petitions will be useless

that there will be different allotment
of representation. Whether this will
increase or decrease Republican ma
