SUCCESSFUL CRUSADE AGAINST
CIGARETTES.

SALEM, Dec. 1.-THE Women's
Christian Temperance Union, of this
city, is doing a noble work in the line
of stopping the sale of cigarettes. ow-
ing to the alarming increase of their
use by young boys The women have
long been considering the question. and
have adopted a plan which they think
will be more effective than legislation.
All the dealers in cigarettes were Wis
tied by the women, who talked of the
injurious effects of their use, especially
to the young, to which the dealers
could not make a denial. The dealers
were then induced to attach their sig
natures to a promise to discontinue
their sale, after dispOsing of the pres
ent stock The union has sent out a
communication to the dealers, express
ing their heartfelt gratitude for sc
kindly cooperating in the work.

FORCED AGREEMENTS.

It is a serious question whether a
court of justice has a right to endeavor
TO force the honest convictions Of jur-
ors by threats of extended confinement
10 the jury room. After jurors have
heard the testimony and argument, to-
gether with the charge of the court,
and come to the conclusion that they
cannot agree upon a verdict, announce
ment of that fact should be sufficient
to lead to their discharge. To send
them back word that they must arrive
at a verdict if they are kept out for a
period Of two or three days, is an ap-
peal to their private interests and COM
forts outside, rather than to their judg-
ment on the merits of the case.
There is no doubt that long confine-
ment OF jurors. who are usually men
Of business affairs, has often led to YER
diets. but 1t is a matter of grave doubt
whether verdicts so forced are condu-

The daily morning Astorian. [volume] (Astoria, Oregon) 1883-1899, 1896-06-11

Walter Wellman says in the Chicago
Times-Herald: Senator Teller is in a
queer situation He is a delegate to
the st. Louis convention. with the
state of Colorado in the hollow Of his
hand, and intends sitting in that con-
vention and taking part in its pro-
eeedings. But he is more talked
about than any one else for nominee
Of the Chicago convention. This is
decidedly awkward for Mr.. Teller, who
Is a man OF honor, and who possesses
a keen sense of the fitness Of things
In consequence he deprecates the talk
Of his nomination at Chicago as much
as he can, and his friends, taking their
sue from him, do the same thing. Mr..
Teller affects to believe the St. Louis
convention will make a platform on
which he can stand, but IL he were
wholly frank he would admit that sort
Of thing is not likely to happen. Teller
intends to walk out of the st. Louis
convention after the platform is adopt
ed, and he hopes to be nominated at
Chicago. Indeed, he is now the most
prominent candidate in the silver
party. The scheme, as it has been
explained to me by silver leaders, is to
keep Teller in the background as much
as possible till after the st. Louis con-
vention, because of the peculiar situa-
ton which he now finds himself in.
But after he has bolted at st. Louis
the Teller boom is to be pushed for all
II is worth, and its hackers expect to
make him the nominee"

RECIPROCITY AND THE MILLING
INTERESTS.


While a convention of men who be-
Iieve that the tarif should be made a
business issue instead Of political
issue was being held in Detroit the
National Association OF Millers, in con-
vention in Chicago. was giving prae-
tical illustration Of how at least one
phase OF the tariff question can be
taken out OF politics.
There is now very little dissent
among business men of both parties
from the proposition that reciprocity
is a business question and should be
removed as far as possible from the
field Of partisan controversy. In con
sonance with this sentiment the Ma
tional Association OF Millers formu-
lated declaration in favor Of reci-
proeity and adopted resolutions favor
ing the establishment in the presi-
dents cabinet Of a department Of COM
merce and manufactures and the pro-
motion OF a special tariff commission
to take the tariff question out Of po-
Ttics.
Senator william D. washburn. Of
Minnesota. was among the first to call
the attention Of congress TO the inn
portance OF the reciprocity treaties TO
the development and maintenance of
the -four milling interests Of the North
west. His plea for the restoration Of
this feature Of the Mckinley tariff act
OF 1890, delivered in the United States
senate April o. 1894. has been regarded
as the most effective and most elabo-
rate presentation Of the commercial
benefits that accrued from reciprocal
trade arrangements that has yet been
made by any public speaker.
II only the Touring industry Of the
country were affected by the reciproc-
ity treaties enough capital is invested
in it and enough labor is employed by
it to amply justify the government in
negotiating such treaties. The growth
Of this industry under the Mckinley
tariff is adequate vindication Of the
general principle of reciprocity.
The last census shows 1S,470 milling
establishments with a capital Of $685.
4Ts.50O. with plants and machinery val
ued at s136. .5Ss,S51. with s3,4s1 people
employed. TO whom were paid annu-
ally S27.OS5.742 in wages. The value
Of wheat ground in 1890 was 1884, IS. .29O
and the value Of the product was s51S.-
s71.4T4
The value Of reciprocity to the mill
ing industry is strikingly illustrated
in the case OF Cuba, whose imports Of
American -four jumped from 114.447
barrels in 1891 to S6s,175 in 1892 and
G1s,406 in 1893. but which quickly de-
elined upon the passage Of the customs
law of 1894. when Spain placed a re-
taliatory duty of s4.74 per 22O pounds
upon our flour.
1t needs no great amount Of argu-
ment TO convince the farmers and mil
Iers Of this country that the tariff and
reciprocity are purely business ques-
tons
