The cause of the shrlnkage OF
| stocks in our eastern markets dur
| ing the last three or four months
is Known to have been the precipi-
! tatiOn on the American market of
! large amounts of American rail
way and other securities formerly
! held in England. At last it has
transpired why these securities
were sent over here to, be sold.
Immense sumsof money had been
drawn away from England for in
vestment in South American
bonds. These investments having
resulted in unparalleled losses. the
bankers and capitalists of Eng
land pushed upon the market all
securities held by them upon
which money could be raised.
This action threw back upon the
United States vast quantities of
railway and other securities, by
which the American market has
been borne down. A further re-
suit has been the depression in
value Of all stocks except those of
the most solid character. All new
undertakings have been hindered
or crippled, and many of them
have been defeated. It has been
impossible to float the bonds of
new projects, and it has even been
difficult to get money for the. pur-
poses of ordinary business.
The house Of Barring Brothers
had so long held a position as one
of the greatest and most solid in
the world that the announcement
of its embarrassment came as a
surprise. The magnitude Of it's
operations is attested by the fact
that its losses upon securities of the
bankrupt Argentine republic ap-
pear to exceed $50,O0o,O00, so that
the united financial strength of
London was required to prevent a
collapse that would have led to
ruinous results in all quarters of
the world.
With the adjustment that has
been made in Lonlon. relieving
the strain caused by the enprmou~
demand for money. he pressure TO
sell American stocks will pypbIbjv
soon be diminished. and i! may be
come possible again: to raise money
for new en,erpriSes.-Oregonian.

THE VICTORY ANALYZED.

The democrats, of the eastern
states are by no means so jubilant
as they were just after the election
\ consideration Of the returns re
veals four facts which have greatly
decreased the value of their ap-
parent victory. In the first place
it is seen that the vote shows no
increase of democratic votes but a
decrease in republican votes.
which proves only that republi-
cans stayed at home this year and
affords no reason for believing that
they will vote against the party in
1892. In the second place many
of those who were elected and
were at first classed with demo
Gratis. are found to be members of
the Farmers Alliance, and the
leader of that organization has de-
clarcd that the Alliance men seek
to hold the balance of power in
congress and will not act as mem
bers of the democratic party. In
the third place the victories in Ill
inois and Wisconsin were won by
combinations against compulsory
education, which will have no et-
feet in 1892. Finally, in a district
which gave 5000 democratic ma
jority in 1883, Mckinley was de-
featcd this year by less than 800
votes. thus showing that where
tariff WAS fully discussed and thor
oughly understood by the people,
the tendency of changed votes
was overwhelmingly against the
democratic party. Senator Cor
man after pOndering over these
facts and the conclusions which
can be readily drawn from them,
has advised his party that it must
pursue a very cautious and con
servative policy for the next two
years. German is recognized as
one of the wisest of democratic
leaders and his counsel will prob
ably be followed. The republi-
can party will undoubtedly stand
by the Mckinley tariff and as a
consequence we are likely to have
little or no changes in our econom-
ical laws for the next two years.
BY that time the East will have re-
covered from the effects of the re-
cent campaign, the republican
party will be restored to power
and progress will begin again.

The Times-MOuntaineer makes
the following very sensible re-
marks: The Corvallis GAZETTE
has been sued for $4,000 damages
for advertising the character of a
former citizen in its columns, and
this is food for reflection. An at
torney, before a jury, could smirch
the reputation OF any witness in
the blacklist and foulest manner,
and no action would lie against
him. Again, in a breach Of
promise case, by introducing testi-
mony of any kind, he could rob a
girl of that which is dearer than
life to her for the purpose of earn
ing a fee from his lecherous client,
and it is not actionable. Why is
this? Perhaps, because the attor-
ney is not expected to maintain
that degree Of integrity which the
publisher is, or that the forensic
efforts of the paid advocate
amounts to little or nothing out
side Of the court room, while the
printed words of the editor burn
and excorlate, and lives on from
year to year, and increases in
strength with the lapse of time.
All must acknowledge the power
of the press, and the bar, pulpit
and the disciples Of Esculapius are
actually overshadowed by it,

The effort to induce Governor
Hill, of New York, to accept the
United States senatorship from
that state, is a very clever scheme
to pave the way clear for Grover
Cleveland to the democratic presi-
Dental nomination in 1892. Gov
ernor Hill has no love for Cleve-
land, and at the same time he has
presidential aspirations of a most
pronounced character. Consider
ing these things Hill would be
very foolish to accept the senator

taken for granted that the shrewd

ocratic success in 1S92.-Telegram.
