Give the Farmers Free Postal Delivery

The senate committee on postoifices and postroads has reported. approved bill to extend free postal service to towns having j 00 population the present limit being 10 0O0. This is in the right direction But in the house Mir. Ho man has opposed eH- tension of the free delivery system to rural parts in which within reasonable area adjacent to towns it is perfectly practicable. Mir. Holman is 10 be commended. Of course. for his deyo- tion to economy. lie alleges. a0d truly that the extravaganza ot the last congress has made greater econ omy necessary in thIs. This reason ing is invuinerable on general prin- ciples. but it does not apply altogether to the question of letting the people pay for what they want and get it.
 History shows that every enlarge ment of the postal service. wisely ad- miulstered has been profitable to government Every argument that has been fallaciously applied to re- sisting pressure for decrease of work ing hours has found corresponding fallacy in opposition to cheapening and extending postal service 1t was claimed that if men worked only twelve hours instead oi fourteen pro- duction would be reduced prices would rise and common commodities would pass beyond the reach of the poor When ii was proposed 10 reduce twelve hours to ten the same cry was raised In each case production was increased and prices. except when a1ected by the tariH. were lowered. So 1t has been with postal reform and improve ment When England charged two shillings for what she TOW does for one penny she did little letter writing. The long fight for penny postage aud free delivery was carried along the ancient line Of predicted financial ruin to the department Of posts. In fact every reform in the direction of cheaper stamps and wider service has been profitable to the government
 l he same is true with us It is conceded that owing To our continental distances all routes cannot be sources of profit But it is perfectly known that every step in the direction oi better service within average density of population has been profitable There is no economy in depriving the people of as good postal facilities as they are ready to Use. The farmers want rural free delivery. They arc entitled to fl. They should get il. They should get il from this Demo cratic house.

TARIFF WAGE RATES.
We'll Known Facts Which Must Convinc'
 the LaborinG Man.


 the LabOring Man.
 As the campaign of education pro- gresses the country. especially the laboring classes so called. are cutting their wisdom teeth on that old saw that wages are governed and raised by a tariff They have learned to their cost that no tariff bill ever framed contains a clause which com pels the protected classes to increase wages in the ratio Of the protec- ton they get If it did the protected classes would unite to kill it for such a clause would give labor the sub stance instead of the shadow, of benefits it is promised by protective legislation This would be fatal to the interest of capital Tariffs are popular with the classes enriched chiefly because they put an enhanced price on product but leave the pro- ducing mechanic at the mercy of un- bridled competition. Labor gets the tarred end of the stick every time
 Without attempting to go into the details Of this question. says the san Francisco Examiner. we have a trinity of well known facts. not fne-spun theories that must be convincing proofs to the IabOring classes that tariffs do not regulate their compen. sation Here they are:
 First-It is a fact that in countries where the tariff schedules are excess i've. as in Russia France and Ger many. and where duties constitute a prohibitiye wall as in China the wage scale in nearly ali the protected indus tries falls below that Of free trade England. Proof of this was furnished the senate in 1881 in response to a resolution Of Senator Platt of Connec- ticui by the national bureau of statis- tics.
 Seeond-lt Is a fact that the wage scale h the same protected industries in the United States will vary. accord ing 10 localities from p to 70 per cent Woolen mill operatives in New England receive p per cent more than their brethren iu New Jersey and Pennsylvania The same i. true throughout the entire list of protected products Tariffs are DO more oi a wage regulator than tides
 Third-It is a fact with scarcely an exception that wages paid in pro- tected lines Of manufacture are far below those paid in the unprotected lines The brieklayer gets three times the daily pay Of the brick maker. And so On over the entire bread winning feld.
 Lastly. and on general principles tariffs can not regulate wages under a system that imposes duty on foreign built products. while the foreign built laborer and mechanic come in free as factors in problem.

THE remedy for the prevalent crime of embezzlement if there be one, will have to strike pretty deep into human motives and pretty close to the root of all evil The greed for wealth is in almost any case the first incentive. If it is accompanied by moral sIackness which will allow a man to use even temporarily that which does not belong to him, it Is pitched to receive with open arms the temptation to embezzlement. The slightly different phase of this passion for money. which is represented by the gambling vice is also a frequent incentive to the larger offense No single law of prevention or punish mont will etfectnally relieve it If it is truly on the increase it is because American life is too exac,ing in it's de- mands and because men hold too high that form of public appreciation which is to be bought with money. When they add to this the conscious ness that a successful steal will not wholly ostracize them they find sew eral reasons for proceeding with il and only one the fear Of possible rerib1 bon. for desisting.

NO WAR WITH Chilli

War with Chill seems to be about as
remote MS before the attack on the crew
of the Baltimore. More rumors have
been afloat than battleships, and they
have been of all hues. Through II all,
however, the good sense of the Chilian
government can.be depended on to pre-
vent war. Chill cannot afford 1t, nor
can we. OF course, war once begun,
one course only could I've pursued, and
that would be TO wage il to the end
until the map of South America no
longer contained the name of Chill,
However, one cannot help but think
that we may not be wholly right, nor
Chill wholly wrong. We all know the
characteristics of sailors, one of which
ia TO tackle John Barleycorn whenever
they get ashore. There is possibility
that superabundance of Intoxicating
LIQUORS had much to do with the begin
ming of the row between the Baltimore
sailors and the Chilian mob. Another
phase of the question is that at the time
Chill had no government, and has
claimed ever since President Mount
was inaugurated that the offenders
were being tried under the laws, and
that as soon as the testimony was in,
Chill would act. The United States
has been hasty in her demands, albeit
negligent in not enforcing them when
once made. Another thing is that,
while there is vast difference between
an attack on the sailors of one of our
war ships, and an attack on private
citizens, yet the matter of correcting an
attack OH either is the same. The posi-
ton taken by Chilli With regard to the
attack on the sailors of the Baltimore
is exactly the position taken by Secre-
tary Blaine in replying TO the Italian
governments demand for reparation
for the killing of her citizens at New
Orleans. Mr.. Blaine said: "The case is
being investigated, and this govern
ment cannot reply until verdict is
reached" Chill has repeated his
words. The war scare has served
good purpose, and it is to be hoped that
work will be prosecuted vigorously in
the navy department until the United
States has the finest navy in the world.
Congress should place the means at the
disposal of the department at once.
We have the best country in the world
and we can afford to and ought to have
the best navy to protect it,

The Oregonian is out in brand new
dress, is printed on the big new press,
and is clean, neat and attractive. Be-
sides this, it is printed in the big new
building, the finest newspaper office on
the coast. We welcome the new order
of things, the readable print above all,
since the old type. was rapidly convert
ing its readers into chronic cases ofoph-
thalmia, but yet we cannot but feel, in
picking up the paper, ,Sthat it is not our
Oregonidn. Tt looks different and will
not fill the old piche untilswe get ac-
customed to the change. The big num-
ber which was to have been printed
New Years, was issued on the 10Th,
and sold for the regular price, which is
another change for the better. We
congratulate ourl big contemporary on
its deserved prosperity, and hope that
its circulation may increase as rapidly
as its energy and push deserves.

BRIGHT PROSPECTS.

With the opening of spring, which at
present seems near at hand, Hood
River should and will awaken to new
order of things. An order of push and
progress, of improvement.and develop
ment. Work is to begin on an irrigat-
ing ditch on each side of the river, and
this alone ought to increase property
values and double our products. In
deed, in a year or two, the result OF
abundant water for irrigating purposes
will increase our agricultural products
twenty fold, will stimulate the orchard
ist, and make the valley what ii should
be, an immense fruit farm. 1t is quite
probable that the big hotel will be built
in Idlewilde this summer, and certain
that Hood River will be advertised as
it never was before. There will be
many cottages put up, and the summer
visitor will be numerous. AS result,
Hood River will become well known,
its agricultural resources appreciated
and the possibilities of its water power
understood. A little public spirit and
united effort will do much to speed us
on the way. The prospects are bright,
and cheered by hope and armed with
faith in the most beautiful portion Of
Oregon, let each one do all he can in
making :known our resources and as
sisting in our growth.

For distancesof eight.or ten miles
from its mouth, nearly all the lands
along Wind river, in Skamania county,
Washington, are located, yet nearly all
are unsurveyed. 1t is rank injustice to
these hardy settlers to keep them in the
condition of squatters. 1t is rich Sec
ton, and the lands once surveyed
would settle up rapidly for distance
of twenty miles back. Nearly one
hundred townships were surveyed in
Washington last year, but Wind river
was overlooked.
