MANUFACTURES.

III <lxv " II aOA " AsDo'
The attention of our citizens has
been called to the importance of man
ufactures on different occasions by the
TIMES MoUNTA1NEER, and the subject
should create the same interest now as
it has in former years. All the nat
ural facilities for factories could be
easily utilized in this vicinity, and
this city is the most available market
for raw material of any In the north
west. Water power sufficient to turn
the wheels Of unlimited establishments
Is very accessible, and this, by modern
appliances, could be easily put 10 op-
Grafton. 1t could not be expected that
The Dalles, with population of about
4OeO. and with few men of means,
could undertake the development OF
resources that would require the OUT
lay of considerable money. Foreign
capital must be invited, and to this
end our wants and facilities should be
made known.
This being the center of trade for a
large region of country, and with GER
tain prospects of soon having unob-
structed water communication with
the markets of the world, manufac-
lures will be the most powerful factor
of growth and advancement. The
home seeker will not come without
there are mems of employment by
which he can support himself and
family. Factories of all kinds would
furnish these, ard their inauguration
would increase the wealth and busi-
ness of the community.
The fruit industry in this vicinity
has been one of the greatest Import
ance for many years, and the estab-
llsh ment of cannery should be the
first move in the line of manufac-
lures that will meet with universal
support. Every season tons of fruit
and vegetables could be canned and
shipped to foreign markets, and q
steady and increasing source of rev.
enue be lnaugurated. The soil is we'll
adapted to the growth of peaches,
plums, apples, cherries, etc. and all
varieties of vegetables. These being

ment would stimulate the cultivatioH
of all vacant lands, and where one
acre is now devoted to the growth of
fruit and vegetables, With a ready
market for their sale, this area would
be largely increased. A cannery that
would be profitable may cost from
$4,000 to $4,000, and it has been
suggested that this amount could be
raised by subscription to joint stock
1t is time that some movement was
made in this city looking to the estab-,
ishment of manufactures, and we are

THE BALLOT.

To read the comments of some pa
pers on the strike one would arrive
at the conclusion that the American
wage e-earner Is an inveterate enemy to
free institutions, and merits nearly as
severe treatment as the anarchist.
Organized labor, especially, has Geen
the subject of severe criticism, and all
unions, having for their object the
uniGcation Of effort in any given direc-
tion. have been severely condemned. But
the movement among laborers of band.
ing together for self. protection is too far
advanced to he stamped out by corpo-
ration organs. In the general progress
sion of the world the toiler has de-
veloped the use of his brains as well
as his muscles, and in every condition
of life, except that which can only be
purchased by money, is on level with
the capitalist. This is particularly
true of Americans, and every patriot
should feel a degree of pride in it.
But this TRADE against the Railway
Union will cease before the next cleo
tion, and the organs that have been SO
vehement against the strikers will be
the most conciliatory. The votes of
the railway employees are as heavy
In the ballot box as those
of the railway magnates, and if exer-
clsed with intelligence will accomplish
more, because they are numerically
larger. If labor is defeated In the
contest in which it is now engaged, it
will not follow anarchlstic teachings to
revenge itself. The ballot is the most
powerful weapon of free people, and
this may be welded in this country to
accomplish the end desired.

THE STATE OF UTAH.


The house of representatives con-
Cured on July 18th in the senate
amendment to the bill admitting Utah
into the Urion, and its admission is
now an assured fact, but under two
provisions peculiar to itself. There
now remain only three territories
which are embryo states-Arizona,
New Mexico and Oklahoma-for
Alaska and Indian territory are not in
the line of statehood. These three
remaining territories may be admitted
by this congress. Their admission
<within few years is inevitable.
Utah would have been admitted to
thu Union many years ago had it not
been for polygamy, says the Inter
Ocean. As long ago as 1870 it had
population of Sc. 7s6. Even it 1860
it had 1929. In 1880 it had 49,
sS3, and in 1890 207.9O5. 1t has by
this time not much less than quarter
of million. But this population is
mainly composed of Mormons, who
believe, whatever they may practice, in
polygamy. At least that is part of
their creed. The larger the popula-
tion the greater the risk in admission.
So long as Utah Is territory it is
under the absolute control of the ma
tional governments political minor.
To clothe it with the rights of state
is serious risk. We have referred |
to two peculiaritles in the bill Just
passed. One of these peculiarlties is
tie amendment to the bill proposed by
Congressman Grant, of Vermont,
which reserves to congress the right to
make and enforce laws against poly
gamy. If that Grant amendment Is
really effective no harm will come of
admitting Utah into the Union. The
general feeling at Washington seemed
to be that it was an effective safeguard.
The other popularity is the senate
amendment denying admission, so far
as concerns representation in congress,
until January l, 1896. As the senate
is Democratic the natural inference is
that the Democrats rather expect
Utah to go Republican; at least they
are so much afraid of it that they do
not propose to let the senators there
from come IN until the last minute.
To keep them out longer than that
would be little "too raw"
It is expected that statehood will
give powerful impetus to the devel-
opment of the resources of Utah. Al
ready railroad extending southwest
to the Pacific ocean, going through
Arizona, is projected. 1t is said that

THE TARIFF.

The dispatches state that Mr.. Cleve
land is trying to consolidate his
friends in the house against the pas
sage Of the Wilson bill as it comes from
the senate, or, as 1t is now called, the
German bill. He claims that it does
not carry out the provisions of the
Chicago platform, but follows the
principles of protection more closely
than it does those of free trade. For
many months the ablest men in the
Democratic party have attempted to
frame a measure suited to the wants of
the people from their stand point, and
this could not be done except it was
patterned after the Mckinley bill. AS
it came from the house it was not con-
sidered adapted to the growth and
present status of the industries of the
nation, and now, after it has been
amended in the senate, it is unsatis-
factory to the president and his fol-
lowers in the lower branch of congress
From this, it is very apparent that the
Democratic party, in its tariff reform
legi ,lation, is failure, aid woul1 ap
pear more consistent to the American
people if it had spent its time during
the present session iii drafting and pass
ing a purely free trade measure. From
present indications, it is doubtful If
anything will be done during this
session regarding the inauguration
of change in the economic policy
which has governed the nation success
fully for long number of years The
promises of Democracy during the ,ast
presidential canvass were very profuse
in relation to the tariff; but il has
utterly failed to redeem a single one,
although it has had a good working
majority in both the upper and lower
houses of congress
