OF the Monroe doctrine, as applied tn
conditions but slightly modified. The
policy of the Uulted States regarding
Russian territJry in America, as has
been shown, WIS determined many
many years ago, aud that was merely
another expression of the Monroe
doctrine az adapted TO the then exist
ing conditions.
How mnch more important and q ig-
uiticaut 10 the United states tnan in
any OF The exiEencies noted where the
Monroe doctrine Or its equivalent has
been asserted by our statesmen Is the
existing and now present condition In
which our former rival competes with
us for the control Of North America ?
do not mean by this TO say that
British rivalry Tor territorial control of
America has again reached the physlc.
ally aggressive stage, nor to say that
such rivalry will ever lead to the
final arbitrament Of the strongest bat.

want to show to the senate aud to the
country what the map Of the
world presents before us, and to
make apparent the magnitude Of the
English dominion around and about
us This great area Of British territory
may or may not be menace TO our

depends. One thing however, is man.

after the United States. We are old

alone and to hold our ground amongst

WHY PRICES ARE Low.

Defenders Of existing systems, gold
standard and all, can fad no reason
for the disastrously low prices Of the
present EXCEPT "Over.prOductioD;"
knock these words out Of the dictionary
aud 1t would strike tue defenders DUMB
But that over prediction is not the
cause of low prices is proven by even a
superficial examination OF market re-
ports for few years. On November
Is, 1906, the top price for steers in
Chicago was "a 80; In 1896 the top
price was SG.45; yet the receipts of
cattle for the year up TO that date In
1896 were 800, 900 less than In 1894. In
1898 the top price for steers on Novem-
Der l5 was So, yet the receipts for that
year up to date named was 525, 900
greater than in 1896; surely, there is
no "over-production" manifest In the
cattle market. Hogs show a slight
increase of receipts, over 1884, but are
much smaller than in 1891 or 1898,
when prices were higher than now.
In 1894 the Chicago top price for
heavy hogs was $500; in 1895 at the
same date the price was SO IS. No one
has reputation that be cares for dares
to assert that the present low prices Of
grain are due to "over.production,' for
he would at once be confounded by the
figures that would prove him TO be
long way from a truth.telllng saint.
In fact, there are but two reasons for
the low prices Of farm products, the
hign value now attained by our blessed
gold dollar, and the inability Of myriads
Of our people to consume Of them as
much as they would like, and the last
reason is the legitimate parent OF the

More Salem Pailures.

The grinding, crushing force Of hard
times is driving business men to the
wall. 1t 10 not remarkable that there
are Salem failures. Many lines Of busl-
nesI are overdone. Business men are
carrying hundreds Of worthy families
ia Salem who are unable to earn q
dollar. The credit system accumulates
on their books thonsaucs Of dollars Of
accounts, whilet thu wholesalers keep
drawing through the bauks for their
bills.
Then there Is the deadbeat element
In the community. The business
man has to carry that. Then there l.
the constant accumulation of dead
stock. That baukrupts many man
who is otherwise careful aud successful.
For Instances a business man sells $l0,.
OOO OF wares year. His profits are,
we will say, 5000 net. Out of this his
family must live foe say $1,000. He
has $1,000 left. But hs has accumulated
$1,000 ofold stock and 81 900 Of accounts.
Ii he Is paying interest, as many are,
he cannot but go to the wall. Many
men can do good business in proc
porous times who fail In the storm of
panic, the distress of financial storm,
or In a long period of unfavorable skies
overhead and It has been very cloudy.
There is another cause OF failures.
That Is the charity drain on business
men who are asked to support score
of begging enterprises, from the charity
bail to the advertising poster and
"home enterlainmentn In q hundred
forms. Not week In the year but an
advertising solicitor from Portland or
somewhere "does the town" for some
advertising scheme, getting 81 from
this business man and 81 from that.
There are scores Of other causes why
men fail. But Salem probably suffers
no more than other towns In all these
respects and the solidity Of her business
Institutions as whole will be im.
proved when the storm Is over.

SENATORIAL FUNERALS.

Three cases, those Of Thomas j.

1856; Andrew p. Butler, OF South Car

James Bell, OF New Hampshire. VIII,
died May 20, 1857, cost the government
but $3.50 cents each. This Is thu
smallest amount charged TO tht
account Of the death OF senators. Tn,
largest amount expended In any ont
care on tins account was on the occa
sion OF the death OF George Hearst, oi

things which appear from the record

fully three meters in diameter. 1t was
composed entirely of white and mauve

while at the top figured a superb bank.
ing Of fine feathery palms. The giant
bows and ends of ribbon about twelve
inches wide, crossing the wreaths In
teriorly, were of the finest and heaviest
satin in the most exquisite mauve tint.
In memory of their father, the two sons
of NJ. Worth have distributed over five
thousand dollars to Partisan charities.

Awkward SDeech.

One of the first duties of a lecturer is
to consider his audience. This should
be done while he is preparing what he is
to say, lest he be put to the necessity
of hurried and awkward qualifications
while on his feet. An exchange re-
ports that professor was lecturing to
a class of three young ladies, and in
the course of his remarks came to an
exposition of his views as to woman's
function in the body polite Women"
he is reported to have said, ARE the
element of beauty in human life. Their
business is to make life graceful, and
they can't do that, you know, unless
they themselves are pretty and graceful.
If girl is not pretty she might almost
as well vanish from the face of the
earth-that is" he explained, as he
looked at the three sober, specialized
faces before him-''that is-er-unless
she is tolerably pretty, you know.

ancient Britain, but q monarch among

of the trunk close to the ground is
seventy-cight feet, and three feet higher
torty-eight feet. The trunk is now hol-
lowed, and is capacious enough to con-
tain u crowd. A few years ago the
vicar of St. James, Wetherby, and the

the number of ninety five got inside the
