PURE PROTECTION.

The Republican senators will vote
solidly for free sugar. This IS consist
ent with the Mckinley law, provided
there is bounty attachment But it
is not so much to maintain their con-
sistency as it IS to put the Democrats
in a hole that the Republicans are
now clamorous for free sugar. If the
Republicans were now in majority,
and had the responsibility of raising
revenues they might see it in another
light Sugar is mighty good reve-
nue. raiser, and stiff duty on sugar
will fill up a treasury when other
things fail. But the Republicans are
not responsible for raising the reve-
nues, and this is not their funeral,
anyway.-Portland Telegram The
Republican party has never advocated
a tariff on any article that could not
be raised in the country,a and not nearly
enough sugar is manufactured in the
country for local consumption. For
this reason the Mckinley b'll provided
q bounty on the growth of beets and
their manufacture into sugar, thus at
tempting to build up an industry
without imposing tax on the con-
sumer. The basis principle of protec-
tion is the development of the re-
sources of country by building up
LEGAL industries; but in every instance
where this cannot be done 1t does not
believe in imposing astax for the ben
eft of few. and which would oper-
ate as burden upon the many.

TOO MANY POWERS.


No worse policy can be imagined
than the commingllng of the leeisla-
tive with the executive powers. says
the Salem Statesman. To give to a
legislature the appointing power in any
case is bed enough, but to authorize it
to create offices or places of any kind
is complete surrender to the one
branch of government of the high
est powers of another branch. Worse
still. it invites the Legislature to create
useless places for the mere purpose of
filing them. In other words, II is an
open door to all manner of corruption
Indeed, it is plainly unconstitutional,
because that supreme law, the consti-
tuition, expressly divides the powers of
government between the three great
branches, legislative, executive and
judicial, and in no case contemplates
any confusion in their exercise, we
believe, save in the one case of i'm
peachments triable by the legislature.
We all know there is too much time
wasted over foolish or vicious or need
less bills during our legislative sessions
and too little time given to important
and needed bills. The legislature has
quite enough to do in attending to its
own business. There are too many
lobbyists, each having an axe to grind,
IN securing bills or clauses in bills.
Grant to the legislature the appointing
power and more and more lobbyists
will flock like obscene birds to filthy

PLUCK AND ENERGY.

If there ever was time when active
energy and enterprise would result in
commercial benefit to city that era
is the present one in the history of
The Dalles. During the recent flood,
when the interior was debarred from
communication with the outside world,
the Columbia river furnished this
point a means of daily intercourse.
The advantages of our situation we're
apparent to all, and these will induce
factories to locate here if the proper
spirit is manifested by our citizens.
Notwithstanding the business stag
nation which is general ali over the
country Eastern Oregon has had estab-
lished during the present season wool
securing mills which have placed the
product in better shape for market,
and have also had the effect to in
crease the amount of money realized
on sales. The Dalles should imme-
diately put two or more in operation,
SO that they would be ready for the
next clip. By means of the river this
city has cheap route to seaboard,
and in few. years it will be an oceans
competitive point, so as to enjoy the
cheapest rates for transportation east.
If the citizens remain in the same
apathetic attitude they have for years
Pendleton will surpass this point as q
wool shipping center, and The Dalles
will receive no benefit from its excel.
lent natural location. Action IN this
reaard should not be delayed any
longer, for in little while it will be
impossible to recover lost ground.
The distillery, which was located at
Grant before the flood, is now looking
for new location. Mr.. Walker, one
of the proprietors, will visit Pendle-
ton in few days to ascertain what
that city will offer for the establish
ment. This would be great factor
of development for The Dalles, and
our business men can well afford to
bid high to secure the prize. Delay
in this matter will also be fatal, for
within the next few days definite ar
rangements will be made.
Tt is very likely the shops will again
be established here, and that there
will be about three hundred men con-
stantly employed, and the pay roll of
these will be source of revenue that
will be very stimulating to business.
If the securing mills and the distillery
were to proceed this industry, the fu-
ture of the city would be well assured.
But action must be taken now, if there
is any intention or desire to procure
these factors in this community.
The incorporation of the cannery
company was wise movement, but
enterprise should not stop here. Every
thing is opportune at the present time,
and pluck and energy should be dis
played to take advantage of the situa-
tion.

The following from the Salem
Statesman is brlmful of good sense:
.'Oregon's legislature already elects too
many commissioners that should be
chosen by direct vote of the people.
All will remember what log roller
the last session was. More time was
devoted to the election of railroad
commission than was given to any
other single measure and there is no
doubt but this contention Influenced
many votes on several bills. Instead
of increasing the powers and log-roll-
ing capacity of the Oregon legislature,
let us this winter place the power once
more In the hands of the people, where
it rlghtfully belongs. While we are
on the subject it may be well to re-
mark that United States senator's also
should be elected by direct vote of the
people,"

The House Caucus.

WAsHINeToN, Aug. The house
Democratic tariff caucus at o'clock to-
day and the interview of Senator Voor-
bees prenouncing in favor of the house
position on free iron and coal are the ab,
sorbing topics among the members of the
house. Those who projected the caucus
assert they have not intended to DIS
credit the conferress. The anti-caucus
men denounce the caucus, however, as
flank movement toward surrender to
the senate. From the general tenacity Of
the caucus as well rs OF the anti-caucus
men it seemed evident at noon there
weuid De no resolution insti ucting the
house conferrees to recede or otherwise
their course.

DESIRES CONSIDERATION.

The success of the stlte portage
road around the Cascades makes it
evident that The same improvement
could be inaugurated around the OBJ
structions between this city and Cello,
and the next Oregon legislature should
pass an appropriation for that pur-
pose.-TIMEs-M MoyNTAINEER. Then
the state should clean out and dredge
the Willamette river, the artery Of
commerce for this great and populous
valley. She has spent sum up to-
wards 100000 for this Eastern Ore
gon artery, and not one cent yet upon
the Willamette river. The fact Is,
no Iever, that the general government
should pay for all these improvements.
The state should not be required To
bear their expense.-Salem Statesman.
Our cotemporary must not forget that
at every session of the legislature
there are large and liberal appropria-
tions for Western Oregon in the sup
port of the public institutions, while
the country east of the Cascades re-
ceives nothing in this line. The $50,
900 for the portage road at the Cas-
cades was the only time in the his
tory of Oregon that public improve
ment in Eastern Oregon received q
dollar from the state treasury. Aside
from the penitentiary, insane asylum,
capitol building. reform school, state
university. etc., al of which receive
liberal sums every legislature, the
locks at Oregon City were constructed
by the state and all money is spent
for the benefit of Western Oregon.

Train Hoid-up.

CLEvELvND, Aug. An attempt was
made last night to hold up Lake Shore
express train at Kessler, Ind, at the iden-
tical spot the same train was held up last
fall. The tram was just approaching a
split switch when the engineer noticed
the switch was turned SO as to run the
train on the siding. where ties were piled.
The engineer put ON all steam and dashed
through the pile, passing safely on to
the main track through the split switch
at high rate of speed. Masked men
fired several shots at the train. none of
which, however, took effect. The United
States express car carried large amount
OF money. 1t is thought this was kRown
to the desperadoes.

FINANCIAL CREDIT.

The leading financial journal of
London, and, for that matter, of the
world, the Statist, has an important
article in its issue of Saturday on this
country. from the standpoint OF. the
British investor. 1t maintains that
the withdrawal or Withholding of cap
ital from the United States is no lon
ger necessary to meet the demands OF
the domestic or Australian situation,
but that there is ho little distrust of
our currency policy and the unsatis-
factory state of the tariff, especially
the former
1t appears from the detailed discus
sion of the subject that specific cause
of apprehension is the shrinkage in our
gold reserves, leading to the apprehen-
sion that gold will 60 to premium.
The tariff question figures in this cal
culation only so far as it bears upon
the unfavorable balance of trade, which
is rendering gold expectation iney-
liable.
In speaking of this the Chicago In
ter Ocean, which leans towards BIZ
metallism, says: "The treasury CT the
United States is bound by the terms
of national legislation to maintain
specie payments, but not gold in dis
tinction from silver. All our fiscal
laws assume that the two metals will
be maintained at parity and be in
terconvertlble. They also expressly
vest in the government authority to
use either coin in the redemption of
paper money. As matter OF fact,
the government has always waived
that option in favor of the payee. re-
serving the option for use only in an
emergency. So long as the Republi-
can party was in power, wholly or in
part, there was no apprehension ex
pressed, at home or abroad, that gold
would 60 to premium, nor does the
reduction of the reserves justify. such
apprehension. If the treasury were
empty today it could be filled tomor-
row. There isplenty of gold in the
country. 1t is being mined faster
than it is being exported. Our banks
have more than they can use, except
| as 1t is held for reserves. They take
it over the counter with reluctance.
They know very we'll that they will
sooner or later suffer some loss on
their gold unless there should be a
premium on it. The counter gold is
more or less abraded, and when it
comes to be tested by the treasury de-
partment it will be "weighed in the
balance and found wanting" In the
ordinary uses of exchange gold is al
most as little used now as it was dur
ing the period of specie suspension.
If the administration would only
rise to the requirements of the situa-
tion it would allay apprehension. 1t
will be remembered that during the
last winter of the Harrison admins
tration there was some talk of issuing
government bonds to replenish the
gold supply, and that the President let
it be distinctly understood that no
bonds for that purpose would be issued
unless actually needed, but that he
should do whatever was necessary to
meet all demands for gold. That put
at rest all agitation on this subject
during the remainder of his term. Pres
ident Cleveland could and should do
the same. but he ia not likely to.

Famine str,eken Coreans.


NEW YORK, Aug 9-The movement
TO send relief to the famine stricken
Coreans has already taken shape and is
being vigorously pushed. In response
TO the offer of the Christian Herald, OF
New York, TO contribute 1000 barrels of
flour to any cargo that may be sent to
that country, the Corean minister, Ye
Sung 500, yesterday telegraphed to thai
paper the following from Washington:
"Your noble and generous contribution
of 1000 barrels of flour substantially stai ts
the movement to relieve my starving
countrymen. My heart Is full OF graft
tude to you for your prompt assistance,
and shall notify my government of the
relief that may be expected from this
country. 1t fills my heart with pam and
regret that my starving countrymen and
prostrste government cannot find means
to transport the contribution you have
sc. generously started. In day or two
I hope / shall be able to advise you
whether the shipping port shall be New
York or San Francisco. The latter port
would he better"
DR.. Louis Klopsch, of the Christian
Herald, has forwarded the following dis .
patch to secretary Gresham, inviting the
assistance of the government in forward
ing the proposed cargo:
THE pathetic appeal made by the CO.
rean minister IN behalf of his starving
people provokes widespread sympathy
If means OF transportation can be secured,
a large cargo of grain for the relief of
these starving multitndes can be pro-
sided. Will the United States govern.
ment undertake the transportation from
either New York or San Francisco"
1t is further purposed to secure the CO.
operation of the various boards of trade
and exchanges throughout the country
and especially at San Francisco and Chi
csgo. The cargo, when compile ed. will
probably clear from the former port, and
it Is believed that guarantee oil immu-
nifty from seizure, either by China or
japan, will be granted.
