A Radical Change.
National Democrat.

National Democrat.
The New York Tribune remarks
"The Democratic leaders opened the
campaign of 1892 the day after their
defeat in 1888, and they have multi.
piled already their agencies for pro-
ducing and distributing free trade lit
erature. Their activity betokens
determined effort to undermine public
faith in the protective system, and to
restore their party to power with di-
rect commission from the people to
break down the tariff" This is very
inaccurate statement of what has oc-
CURED. 1t was the Democratic people
who began the campaign OF 1892 the
day after their defeat in 1888. Every
day more and moro people are con-
vinced of the truth of the Democratic
doctrines, and disgusted with the class
legislation and the attacks on local
self-government OF the Republican
party, and so every day more and
more men are buying and reading
Democratic newspapers, magazines and
books. The supply of Democratic
literature is large because the demand
for it is vast. 1t is published by no
central agency of the Democratic
party for gratuitous distribution among
the Republicans; it is published BY
business men, because there are so
many customers for it. The Tribune
continues with the cart before the
horse in this fashion: "Mr. Clarkson
makes practical suggestion when he
invites Republicans to give the pref
erencc to journals OF their own party."
We have no doubt that Republicans
do give the preference to journals of
their own party; that is, the narrow,
partisan, unthinking Republicans
The reason why 50 many people who
have hitherto been Republicans are
taking Democratic papers is that they
have become Democrats, or are get
ting ready to become Democrats bv
1872, and are now turning in disgust
from the New York Tribune and the
Philadelphia Press because they no
longer approve the present tendencies
of the Republican party.

A MOST diabolical act of cruelty was
prepetrated at Spokane City last week,
in what is known as Poverty Flat"
by a man named William Coulter, who
is noted as a prayer meeting crank
frequently holding services as late as
midnight. A little past noon Coulter
took his little son aged five years, out
in the sunny side of the house and
there fastened him to a spike with
a dog chain, leaving him in the swell
tering sun barefooted and bareheaded
until eight o'clock in the evening. The
neighbors were very indignant, and a
crowd of them gathered and went to
Coulter's house and compelled him to
release the boy. The neighbors say
that Coulter Furnishes his children in
the most cruel manner, saying that
that is the way to bring them up.
Coulter is Methodist clergyman, but
that did not prevent threats of a coat
of tar and feathers by the enraged
neighbors.

Thos. G. Shearman, q noted eceno-
mist Of New York, has recently pub
lished an essay entitled "The owners
OF the United States" in which some
very interesting points are made. He
says: at has been and still is the
boast of the American people, that
wealth is more equally distributed
here than in any other part of the
world. The object of the present in
quiry is not to determine whether such
condition would be desirable or not,
but simply to ascertain whether it act
ually exists" In England one-thirtieth
of the people own two-thirds of the
national wealth. We Americans have
congratulated ourselves that such un-
equal division was impossible under
our republican form OF government.
But this boast can no longer be made.
The richest man in England, the Duke
of Westminster, owns $50, 600, 900; and
there are only two others, the Marquis
of Butte and the Duke of Norfolk,
worth 1000, 900, and only five worth
$40, 100000 or over. These fortunes
have been ages accumulating. Turn
ing now to this country, we find VIM.
w. Astor and Trinity Church each
worth 100000; c. K. Vanderbilt.
w. X. Vanderbilt, Jay Gould, Leland
Stanford, and J. d. Rockefeller, each
worth $lOO,OOO,OO0. Here follow the
names Of nine other persons or estates
whose wealth ranges from seventy
down to fifty millions. Thus we have
fourteen fortunes which average over
$50, 100000 each, or $1,240,O 5000
There are six others Of $40, ,OO0, 900
each, four of $35, 900, 900 each, thirteen
of $40, 600, 900 each, ten of $25. 5.OOO, 900
each, four Of $22,5O0,O 900 each, and
fifteen of $2O,OOO,OOO. Thus it is seen
that seventy individual fortunes in
this country Of "freedom and equality"
aggregate the enormous sum of g.
100, 100000. There are fifty other
persons worth slO,OOO,OOO, each, or a
total of $5O0OOO,OOO. Leaving out
twenty Of these and we have one hun
dred fortunes averaging $50, 600, 900,
and aggregating So, 600, 10000 Moth
ing like such a sho wing Of private for
tunes can be made in any other coun-
try of the world. The entire wealth of
100000 Of people in the United
States is estimated at about sixty
thousand millions of dollars, hence one
six-hundred-thousandth part OF the
entire property of the nation. The
average annual income of the richest
one hundred Englishmcn is about
$45O, 600, while the average annual in
come Of the richest one hundred
Americans is fully $1,50OOO0. Thus
it is seen that wealth is far more con-
centrated in this country than in Eng
land or any other country. The aver
age annual means of four-fifths of
American families is less than $500
or 1925 per capita.

THE Oregonian is surprised that Gov
ernor Pennoyer does not ran his lum-
Der mills on an eight-hour day, because
the Democratic platform endorses eight
hours. The answer is that Governor
Pennoyer's workmen ore not fools.
They know that eight hours in his
mills and twelve hours in all the other
mills would ruin him and deprive them
of the work he now gives and the wages
he pays to them. The Oregonian puts
a low estimate on the intelligence Of
labor.
