Salem Statesman: By to-day the governor
will haye disposed of all tine bills that re-
celved the signatures of both president and
speaker and reached his desk To day the
time during which bills may be acted upon
expires and some vetoes and spprovals may
be expected. The last OF the 200 bills
passed will be acted upon finally to-day.
Senate bill No. 55 will be vetoed, as it is
duplicate of house bill that has been filed
Of course there will be couple of game and
fish commissioner vetoes, as three bills on
the same subject have passed-one for fish
and game protector, one for i've commls-
sioners, and one for fish and game warden
The last mentioned has beer filed, so the
conclusion is drawn that house bills No. ITO
and $50 are to be vetoed. No one ever ex-
pected the governor would sign the Manley
bill, amending the election laws.

Razor-Edged Technioalitiea.

The case of A. C. Collins vs.. II. Herbring
was on trial in the circuit court to-day, and
the jury empanelled were E W Trout. Gee
Joies, A Bettingen, jr., Geo W Miller. s B
Adams, James Harper, w G Hansell, John
Wood. Argument was had this morning
on motion to non-suit, made by defend
ants counsel, winch was taken under ad
visement until afternoon, when the Judge
overruled the motion. The facts appears to
be that the plaintiff left this city owing Mr.
Herbring. and he attached property for the
debt. After the sale of the attached prop
erty the defendant attempts to set aside the
sale and sues Mr.. Herhring for damages,
claiming that the proceedings were not
technically legal. The razor-edge technI.
calitles of law, we presume, will always re.
main, but it works great hardshipe on
creditors, in many instances, to be debarred
from collecting their just claims for the
commission of clerical error or the misi n.
depreciation of dubious statutory pro-
vision.

The trouble from washouts at bridges
near Hay station, on the spokane branch
of the Union Pacific, will, II is reported,
continue for day or two longer. A few
bents in bridges Nos. IA and 16 have been
washed away. Five carloads of ties were
sent up Friday from Pendleton, ,and pile

the damaged bridges. They were trans

He Is Known and Respected.

On November ls 1892, an article was
published in the Coldwater (Mich.) Repub-
lie, descriptive of trip up the Columbia
to this city,in which Capt. John McNulty,
of the Regulator, received frequent men-
tion for his untiring efforts TO entertain
his guests. This was from the pen of
Mrs. E. j Sampson, and excerpts from it
were reprinted in a cotemporary,in which
the name of Captain McNulty, we are in
formed, was purposely eliminated. We
.haye read the article and the excepts, and
there is no doubt 1t was garbled in this
particular. To show that the efforts of
the captain were appreciated we are re-
quested 10 publish the following letter
from the lady:
CoLDwATER, Dec. IL, 1892.
Capt J. McNuty:
DEAR SIR-Perhaps you remember my
self and husband riding in the pilot house
of the Regulator one afternoon in October.
You so chsrmingly entertained us with
your stories of early life along the Colum-
bIa, it afforded me many interesting items
tor my articles for the paper tor which 1
was writing. l send you the number
with the columbia River article. Any
fault discovered in the telling OF the sto-
ries, please attribute to my defective
memory. l shall never forget that lovely
view of Mt. Hood, the moonlight night,
or Capt. McNulty, who helped to make
the trip one of great pleasure.

FREE WOOL.

Free wool is democratic policy. 1t
was embodied in the Mills bill. 1t is
included In the Wilson bill. The tariff
tax under the law of 1883 ranged
from % to 100 per cent; under the
Mckinley act it ranges from "a to 80
per cent, and the average tax is more
than Al per cent.
The policy of protecting woods by
high tariff taxes was entered upon in
1867. 1t was assumed that tax on
the raw material would make it high
er, and to compensate the manufactu-
rers an additional and specific duty
was levied on foreign cloth to make
that dearer also. 1t was intended that
the consumer should bear the whole
burden-should pay the tax on the
raw wool and on the cloth made from
it.
The scheme has not worked well.
The only one of the original purposes
of the trainers of the wool tariff that
has beer realized is the wrong done
to the consumer, the purchaser of
wooden cloth, of ready.made clothing,
of carpets blankets and fannels. And
the cheaper the goods purchased, the
higher the tax that has been exacted.
Last year the people of this country
paid tax Of $34, 293,70 on woollen
goods, the full value of which was on
ly $35, 792,905. This was tax of
more than 80 per cent. In the same
year the tax paid by the manufactu.
rers on their raw material amounted
to s7,799, Os5.
This is not the only cost to the peo-
pie. The tax on raw wool has injured
the business of manufacturing good
cloIn ana mas STIMULATED the shOddy
business. A low priced American
woollen means a poor woollen. From
1860 to 1870 the capital employed in
shoddy mills increased sci per cent.
and the product 339 per cent. The
shoddy cloth produced in 1890 was
81 per cent Of the woolleHs made in
this country.
Nor have the manufacturers pros
pered. Foreign woods that they need
are excluded by the tariff Many fac
tories have closed. The demand for
shoddy has grown. Ali the woollep
interests would be benefited by free

MR.. CLEYRLAND,S MESSAGE

The Presidents message sent to con-
gress Monday, taken as whole, is a
clear, comprehensive, well written and
business-like document. 1t touches
upon every question of general inter-
est in our domestic and foreign policy.
1t is calm and deliberate, and we be-
lieye the country will accept it with
satisfaction. He recites conditions
and makes his recommendation In
mild but earnest terms.
As matter of course party lines
will be closely drawn on his Hawaiian
and Tariff questions. These will be
the principal objective points of at
tack and our Republican friends will
assail them with all the power at their
command. If there be any one poll
cy outlined which would give him
more satisfaction to see carried to a
successful end than any other it is
the tariff policy, and no act of con-
gress will please him better than the
passage of the tariff bill and its trans
mission to him for his signature.
If there be any disappointed ones
with the message, THE News believes
they belong to the class who were
looking for the sensational, the dog
matte and the egotistic characteristics
of his writings, as claimed by those
who do not agree with him in his par
ty principles and policies.

No president of the United States
since the organization of the govern
ment, unless it be Abraham Lincoln,
was ever confronted at the beginning
of his administrator, with such seri-
GUS, grave, perplexing and, we may
add, dangerous troubles as have stared
Mr.. Cleveland in the face since the
early summer.
The country understands very well
the evils that came upon it in the
summer time and early fall, but it
does not begin to realize how these
evils and hundred others presented
themselves to the Chief Executive and
made their cowardly threats and
charges against him. 1t will never
realize them until the evils are over
come; until the president and his pol.
ICY win.
Like to general of great army
when threatened with destruction and
humiliation, many of his subordlnates
grow cowardly and stand ready to de
sert him and abandon his cause, so
Mr.. CleYeland has been threatened in
thickest of his dangers and followers
have been bold to speak their disloy.

confidence IS being restored in the

their trust. He warns them that mer-

lease themselves from the selfshness
of their local interests and be repre-

ACCUMULATION OF IDLE MONEY.

i ACbUMILAIIOA UE IbLh MOAEAs
The accumulation of idle money is
having its legitimate effect in lower
rates of interest and in stimulating
speculative buying, not only Of stock
exchange securities, but, as the mar
ket reports show, Of merchandise and
real estate. As might be expected,
too, the supply of first-elass bonds and
stocks for sale has become nearly ex-
hausted, and purchasers have turned
their attention to those of the second
and lower grades, many of which have
advanced in price very considerably
during the week. The unfortunate
debtors who, in the agony Of last sum
mer's crisis, could not borrow money
on any terms whatever, and who were
in consequence, compelled to sell their
property at whateyer they could get,
must witness with understandable pangs
the present conditions Of things. As
the event has proved, they were made
victims not of any real scarcity Of
money, but of the terror stricken i'm
aginations of their creditors.
Many people attribute the prevail
ing superabundance of currency to a
dullness in trade. Transactions in
volying the actual payment Of cash
being restricted in amount, less cur
rency, they say, is needed for actual
use, and the surplus, therefore, con
gests at monetary centers like New
York. This is true, but it is not the
whole truth. Certainly as much bus
mess is being done now as was done
last summer, 50 that the demand for
currency, everything else being equal,
ought to be as great now as it was
then. The difference is caused by the
different condition Of mems minds.
Then thousands of people we're gath
ering up and boarding currency in an
ticipation Of general bankruptcy. But
now that their craze is over and gen.
eral confidence restored these boards
have come out of their hiding places,
and have found their way again into
the banks.
Whatever may be the explanation
of it, the fact remains that currency
is now in superintendent supply and
that an immense amount of it IS now
lying idle. 1t is also a fact that du.
ring the intensest period of our last
summers panic the quantity of cur
rency in existence was very near as
much as it is now. These facts com.
pletely dispose Of the theory that the
supply Of circulating medium required
in country should be fixed by its
population, or by any other arbitrary
standard. What may be amply suffl.
Gent in one state of the public mind,
may as we have lately seen, prove in
tirely inadequate in another. The
country never before ia its history
had so much currency as it had du-
ring the two years which. preceded
last summers crisis, and yet the crisis
came and proved most disastrous
