Oregon's Unemployed.

Following are the resolutions pas
sed by Portland's Central Labor
Council on December Both, 1893:
Resolved, That Wa, the delegates
to the Portland Central Labor coun-
c,l representing thirty labor organiza-
tions, with member ship of 1900. do
hereby indorse the statements made
by Governor Penno,er in his open
letter regarding the economic COT
d,tions of the state.
Tia. based upon the sta isticts Of
this council IS per cent OF the labor
ing people of this state are actually
unemployed. Notwithstanding the fact
that 1t is estimated that 10000 peo-
pie have Of late fled from the city
through lack of employment.
The so-called business men, while
waiting all day in their places of bus
mess are not employed one third OF
tile time. That not one property in
fifty would bring in cash onc.half the
price demanded last year.
That not one laboring man can Sc
cure 500 in money to save his home
from mortgage. and hundreds who
are unable TO secure money are lriv-
dn from their homes. That no labor
ing man in Oregon can point his son
to promising avocttioa for life.
And that We, representatives OF
labor, are better able to juag', from
fact in our possession. of tue condi-
ton Of laboring people in this state
than the welltodo people composing
those aforesaid hoards Of trade, cham
bcrs of commerce and board of i'm.
migration. In conclusion we beg of
every labor organization anil l?b0r
paper in tie land to take cogizapce
of the fats.

order in this lire of effort but to call
these Christian voters to their duty -
If Christian men would simply do
precisely what saloon men 10, make
all men understand that they twill not
vote Tor any issue now until their is
sue is secure" Prohibitionists would
have no more need of third party
than have the saloon men. The po]it-
ical parties would have to choose be-
tween the votes of Christian men and
the votes of saloonkeepers, and the
matter would resolve itself into the
question which of the two opposing
forces could marshal the create: mum
Der of votes.
The issue would thus be sharply
drawn, and men forced to declare
themselves unequivocally for the liq.

of reasonable beings hurling their res
olutions against the liquor traffic, be-
sieglng heaven for its destruction, aud
then going forth to cast their ballots
for parties aud men pledged to license
it, could no longer be. Even those
who deliberately sacrifice principle for
personal ambition would perceive that
self-interest demanded that they
choose for their constituency the NOR
al element of society. 1t is the de-
liberate association of Christian men
with 1t that makes the liquor party le-
spectacle. The great duty of Chris
tian voters in the present emergency
is to hear and heed the call, "Come
out from among them and be ye sep
arate." This is what :he new union
is striving to bring to pass, and We
bid it God speed. 1t should have the
warm support of every Prohibitionist

OUR FISHERMAN.

Grover stood on Wall Streets deck,
Making money by the peck;
The people called. he would not go,
Because he loved the money SO.
One day he went to Buzzard's Bay.
But all the same he drew his pay;
He sat him down upon the shore,
As he had often done before.
The day was bright, the sun was warm,
The farmers all were blowing corn:
The fish were sly and would not bite.
Although he fished with all his might
Said Grover, II swow. do not ken,
Why fish have got more sense than men;
For men will bite at any bait.
If you'll 'cuss' the party that they hate.
II cannot see why a good live worm.
Is not more tempting than our platform;
Yet fish ignore the tempting meal.
While men support with fiery zeal.
"NOw. Ash. think. are very nice.
So I'll try this 'bOttle-shaped device,
It's been tried on men and always won,
think. now, I'm soon catch one.
THE bait. you see, is in plain sight,
Like an Office, in politicaltight,
1t Is so near and yet so far
There, dad gum me, I've caught Gar.
well. this is the way in politics.
You often get some right poor sticks,
This Gar is bad, but Ttllman's worse,
And Sterling Morton has been a curse.
II always keep my bait in sight
When fishing. or in Il political fight,
And use as little of it as l can
Whether catching fish or foOling man.
Hungry fish have less prudence,
And hungry men have less good sense;
With worms for one and Offices for the otht
l make them love me like a mother"

A FINANCIAL HISTORY.
Course and Eject Of Legislation
Since 1861.
No H..

take the following from Mr.
SpauIding's history of legal tender:
1t will be noticed that by the 4th
section of the legal tender act the
Secretary of the Treasury vas autho-
rized to receive deposits in the sub
treasury to the amount of SO, ,OOO.-
600, in sums not less than 500, at 5
per cent interest, with the privilege
to the depositors of drawing it out
'gain at any time, on ten days notice,
after thirty days. This was but all
other form of borrowing money by
the government at low rate of in
tercst. Its operation at the sub
treasury was somewhat like That of a
savings bank, and the privilege was
largely availed of by banks, insurance
companies and indi> iduals. 1t be.
comes very popular mode of tempo
rary investment for corporations and
individuals, and although it operated
against funding in the $40 bonds, yet
it became an advantageous mode for
the government to borrow large sums
of money. 1t became SO popular that
on the 18th Of March 1862, the au-
thority to receive these deposits was
increased to $5O,OOO,OOO.
On the 11th of July following the
power was enlarged $lO0,OOO,OOO;
and by the act of January Both, 1864,
theC authority was still further en-
larged to $l5O,OOO 900 and the Secre.
tary was authorized to pay as high as
6 per cent on these deposits. Certifi-
Gates were issued to the persons
making the deposits. which were
circulated to some extent at the
clearing house, and among 'ndivldu-
ais, which was one mode of increasing
the credit circulation Of the country,
and thereby aiding the general in
tlation which commenced with the
passage Of the legal tender act.
These deposits reached at one time
the sum of $12O,176,196.
The issue of certificates of indeb-
tedness ut one year was another ex-
pedlent lesorted to for borrowing
money, and was another mode of ~
creasing the credit circulation of the
government. By the act of March l,
1862, the Secretary of the Treasury
was authorized to issue to creditors,
who were willing to receive them. sin
satisfaction of audited and settled de-
,nands against the United States,
certificates Of indebtedness Gn ef-
feet promissory notes. in sums of
not less than 81, 200 each, payable in
one year at 6 par cent interest. And
by the act of the 18th Of March, 1862,
this power was enlarged, so as to EN-.
brace checks drawn in favor of credi
tors by ''disbursing officers upon
sums placed to their credit on the
books Of the Treasurer. The power
thus conferred On the Secretary t.

WASHINGTON, Dec S.-Care Is taken TO
have all sections of the country heard
before the House banking and currency
committee next week, concerning the pro-
posed currency system.
Chairman Springer is not confping his

Western cities, and to Nashville,
Tenn, aud other Southern cities. He
would go as far west as Denver and San

could get here in time for the hearings.
Care Is also being taken TO secure only
those recognized as authorities in prac-
tical financiering, such men as Lyman j..

vited.
The hearing OF Secretary Carlisle and
Comptro Ter Eckels on Monday is attract

National Arbitration of Strikes.
Two important changes in the bill for
national arbitration of strikes has
been made AS result of con-

charter of a labor union be forfeited whe n
its members resort TO violence in the con-
duct of a strike.
1t is probable that the measure as thus
amended will be the form 1t takes in the

ers Wright and Herman, who made
the recent investigation OF the Pull
