BUSINESS AND POLITICS.


One of the unfortunate things about
American politics is the disturbance Of
business occssioned by national elec-
tion campaigns. This is a logical se-
quence of a quarrel for supremacy
between two distlnctively unlike poll
cies relating to the methods Of raising
revenues.
In Great Britain a general and uni.
form revenue policy has been In force
many years, and a change in the gov.
ernment, as it is called over there, does
not affect the modes Of laying and col
lecting taxes. A few srticleS-less
than twenty-contribute all the GUS
toms revenue. From coffee, tea,
sugar, spices, dried fruits, liquors, to-
bacco and a few other articles, iS raised
near q hundred million dollars revenue
every year. Incomes and a few other
special objects of taxation furnish all
the rest of the needed support for gov
ernment. And this year after year in
the same way. No matter what party
is in power, these and these only are
the sources of revenue. A little more
or a little less from year to year, and
that is the only change.
But with us, most of our national
revenues are raised from import du-
ties, and that directly affects all de-
psrtments of business, because we are
the largest importing nation in the
world. And we lead all the rest In
manufactures, mining and agriculture.
Taxes higher or lower on foreign goods
affects trade accordingly. Republi-
cans being high tariff people, their ad-
ministration is sure to be one of
protection to manufacturers; Demo
Gratis fsvoring q low tariff system,
their accession to power is expected to
be followed by q ''reVisioA" of the
tariff, and this means temporary loss
If suddenly brought into practical op-
GRAFTON.
In either case, whether Democrats
or Republicans have charge Of govern
ment, the prospect of a change neces-
sarily affects business injuriously, and
will continue as long as those two par
ties exist and keep up their old fight
on tariff lines. The only feature of
the situation which Is encouraging is
the prospect of an early disorganiza-
ton of one of the parties and the
change Of the battle lines from tariff
to other more important issues.

The SiI0er Knight says the Kansas
delegation is solid for Tillmsn and is
disposed to keep everything in the
background but the silver question.
It also says the late convention indi.
Gated that the majority Of the Popu.
lists were for Harris for Governor and
for fusion with the Democrats. The
Populists may or may not be for Till
man and Harris, but the fusion days
were over q long while ago In Kansas.

SAVINGS banks are popular. It is q
pity that they are not all and always
safe. A Chicago postofice official Is
reported as saying: "People Who don't
know to what bank to intrust their say.
ingS are putting their money, in sums
Of less than 800, into postal money
orders, pay able to themselves. Within
a year they draw the money and rede.
poslt it in the same way. Instead Of
drawing interest, they have to pay
about three-tenths of per cent, but
they are absolutely certain that their
money VIII be forthcoming when they
want e."

THE Associated Press sends a story
from Texas to the effect that Republi-
cans and Populists will fuse, the Re-
publicsns getting the Electors and the
Popullsts the State ticket. No denial
of the story has yet been made, but it
Is not necessary. 1t is safe to say that
it is absolutely untrue and without
foundation. Texas Populists are neither
fusing nor going to fuse with anybody.

In the fall of 1898 son of Mr.. T. A.
Mcfarland, prominent merchant of
Live Oak, Sutter county, Calf, was
taken with very heavy cold. The
pains in his chest were so severe that he
had spasms and was threatened with
pneumonia. His father gave him sew
eral large doses of Cham berlain's Cough
Remedy, which broke up the cough and
cured him. Mr.. Mcfarland says when
ever his children have Group he invari-
ably gives them Chamberlain's Cough
Remedy and it always cures them. He
considers 1t the best cough remedy in

tary of war, in constructing on the land
and siver sides of the canal between the
upper lock gate masonry and the lower
guard gate masonry, such portions of
the walls proposed in the modified
project presented by the board of engin-
eeers In its report of October IS, 1894,
(Which report was printed in the annual
report of the chief of engineers, for the
year 1895, Part V, PIP. 1916 and follow
ing), as it may be necessary to construct
in advance of the opening of the canal
to commence"
We have been informed by the chief
of engineers that the completion of the
work specified in the foregoing proviso
would make it practicable to open the
canal to commerce, without awaiting the
completion of the entire project, as
modified by the report of the board of
engineers, above referred to, and, in
view of the great benefit that would ac-
crue to the producing and commercial
interests of the upper Columbia region,
by reason of the early opening of the
canal to the passage of steamboats,, we
respectfully, but most earnestly urge
that such work be begun Immediately,
and pushed forward to early completion.
We beg leave herewith to present
copies of memorials presented to con-
gress on behalf of the Astoria Cham Der
of Commerce, Astoria, Oregon, and The
Dalles Commercial Club, of The Dalles,
Oregon, setting forth in detail the I'M
portance of the completion of this work,
and the great loss to commerce should
the locks remain closed for another
year.
We cordially endorse the sentiments
set forth in the enclosed memorials, and, /,
in view of the fact that congress has
made this appropriation Immediately
available for the purpose of com pleting
the work, SO that the canal can be
opened for commerce without delay, we
trust that you will cause the walls to be
built and the canal to be opened at the
earliest date possible. We have the
honor to be, sir, with much respect,
yours very truly,

Referring to your letter of Feb. oath
last, to the senators and representatives
of Oregon In Congress, asking us to make
efforts to secure an appropriation of $l79-
597 90 for continuing work on the canal
and locks at the Cascades, and that at
least 100000 be made available
that we urge upon the secretary
of war the i'm mportauce of the locks be-
ing used for the passage of boats, if con-
sistent with safety, during the present
year, now have the pleasure to inform
you that the appropriation asked for has
been made in the sundry civil bill, and
that an additional appropriation of 500
10000, for continuing said work has
been made available for completing GER
tain portions of the work, so that the
operation of the locks may not be un-
necessarily delayed.
The mem bers of the Oregon delega-
tion in Congress have also written a let
ter to the secretary of war, urging the
speedy completion of the work. A copy
of the letter is herewith enclosed.
I have also to inform you that Sena-
tor Mitchell and today called at the
Office of the secretary of war, for the pur-
pose of personally urging upon him the
necessity and Importance of completing
the improvement at the earliest date
practicable, but We were unable to see
him on account of his absence from the
city. We called, however, upon the
chief of engineers, ana strongly urged
upon him the necessity of early compile
tion Of that portion of the work neces-
sary to be completed in advance of the
opening of the canal to commerce, and
specially requested that the locks be
opened for the passage of boats at the
earliest date consistent with safety OF
the work. We were assured by the
chief of engineers that the locks would
