1t has been left for an agricultural
paper to solve the vexing problem Of
living in system of capital ownership
Of everything. 1t says If farmers sons
will be satisfied with no horse, no
buggy, no good clothes and no educa-
tion, they can save money on a farm
even to-day,-Coming Nation.
Why of course. He might also leave
off much that he eats. He might live
principally on corn bread and cow peas,
with hickory or walnuts thrown in &C.
casionally for dessert. He might also
Areduce his hours Of sleeping and in
crease the hours of labor. Why, most
certainly, he could give half the prod
ucts of his labor to plutocracy and then
save money. But what We started out to
say was that it is not every Agricultural
paper that is the farmers friend or
worthy the support of farmers. 1t was
Buell's Bank Circular that announced
the policy of buying up the religious
and agricultural papers, and when you
see one Of them dealing out such trash
as that you may put it down safely that
it has either sold out, or don't know
enough about farm interests to haul
out manure.

NOTES AND COMMENT.
Flashes of Thought from Independent
Thinkers,

Thinkers,
During the past seven years 1874
American heiresses have married for
eign titles and have practically trans
ferred 100000 of wealth to foreign
lands. Much Of this wealth is in
stocks and bonds, and draws dividends
and interest from American enterprise.
We are fast being made the serfs and
supporters of the pauperized nobility
of foreign lands.
The telegraphic monopoly has made
$1OO,OOO,OOO in twenty years. In 1858
the capital stock Of the Western Union
was only $S5S,7OO. 1t is now $4,000 :
900. It's entire plant could be dupli-
Gated for $30,OOO,OOO. The other $780,
100000 is water. Yet there are thou
sands and millions Of people in this
country who pretend to think that they
would rather continue to pay prices for
telegraphic service that yielded mill
lions of dollars in dividends on watered
stock than for the people to own and
operate the wires as they do in England.

If Cleveland had been as great sue
cess in managing the finances Of the
nation as he was in managing his own,
the country would be quite prosperous.
But while making fortune for himself
he has bankrupted pretty much every
body else. Perhaps the two things are
counterparts Of each other and II the
first hadn't taken place the last would
not have occurred. -Nonconformist
OF course to do this he would have
had to use some other nation to have
skinned, and to come to think Of 1t we
would like to have had him try his hand
on old John Bulls people. If Grover
could have made as complete a success
of skinning them, as they, with his as
sistance, have in skinning us, we would
now be flying.
The opinions Of Grover Cleveland,
who, with undisguised self-conceit,
poses as the Moses of the financial ques-
ton, are entitled to no more consldera-
ton to-day than when, as sheriff, he
acted as hangman at Buffalo, N. y
Missouri World.
That's a center shot. A great peo-
pie seem to think the moment man is
elected or appointed to a high position
he becomes, in some mysterious man
ner endowed with sagaclty which he
never possessed before. As a matter
Of fact he is not bit smarter than he
was, and in many instances it makes a
fool out Of a man, and he isn't as smart.
Grover Cleveland seems to be Of the
latter class, and we are not inclined 10
think that ne is as smart as he was

Henry Watterson says: I'VE have,
in fact, no democratic party at all. 1t
is merely an agglomeration of quiddi-
ties thrown together by the upheaval
of the times. A monster without
head, running wild through wilder
ness of political incertitude."
Whoa, there, Henry. Is 1t that bad?
Well, then, take the thing "thrum" US.
If that's the kind of an individual 1t is,
it ought to be prohibited by law from
running at large. This, then, is the
thing of great promise, monster
without a head, running wild through
a wilderness Of incertitude." Well, we
did not think it was so bad. We re-
member that WattersOn told us the
nomination of Cleveland would be a
march through the slaughter house to
an open grave" Perhaps he meant the
election of Cleveland, after all. In
speaking of the Presidents message he
said: Nothing will come of it. Con-
gress will not do anything at all, and II
the republicans are wise they will
simply pass the appropriation bill and
go home"
It is very plain to see that Henry is
overcome with large gobs Of gloom, and
that the "star-eyed goddess" seems to
have forsaken him for the time being
But he'll get over it-unless he has
made 1t a profitable business transact
ton.
In a recent sermon Rev. T. Dewitt
Talmage discussed the propensity OF
the American people to indulge in cam
paign lies and ISLANDERS, in the follow
ing picturesque style:
At every yearly or quadrennial cleo
ton we have in this country great man
Observation-Disclosures of lies; and
they are run day and night, and they
turn out half a dozen a day, all
equipped and ready for full sailing.
Large lies and small lies. Lies private
and lies public and lies prurient. Lies
cut bias and lies cut diagonal. Long
limbed lies and lies with double-back
action. Lies complimentary and lies
defamatory. Lies that some people be-
lleve, and lies that all the people be-
lieve, and lies that nobody believes.
Lies with humps like camels and scales
like crocodiles, and necks as long as
storks, and feet as swift as an ante
lope's, and stings like adders. Lies
raw and scalloped and panned and
stewed. Crawling lies and jumping
lies and soaring lies. Lies with at
tachment screws and rufiers and
braiders and ready-wound bobbins.
Lies by Christian people who never lie
except during elections, and lies by
people who always lie, but beat them
selves in a presidential campaign.

IT is definitely settled that this
nation will have no free silver
legislation, at least during Nc
Kinley's administration. The
next congress, however, will have
important questions to settle and
matters that materially affect the
citizens of Oregon. Chief among
these is the Nicaragua canal and
every farmer in the state should
exert his influence, great or small,
to the furtherance of this enter
prise. The completion of this
canal means a shorter route to
the farmers market, and higher
prices for his products. In this
connection it is pertinent to OBJ
serve that one of the ablest and
most earnest supporters of the
canal proposition, has been and
is John H. Mitchell. He has
made this matter special study
and there is no better authority
i'm the country on the question
than the senior senator from Ore
gon.. The farmers of the state
bwe it to themselves to see that
heir representatives vote for the
return of Mr. Mitchell. This is
not a question of sentiment or
politics, but of pure business.

OUR HIGHWAYS.


Good roads are expensive, but
poor roads are more SO. The
public highways in Benton coun-
| ty are little more than a public
nuisance. They are impossible
for heavy loads in the rainy sea-
son, and yet they are a constant
drain upon the, county treasury.
Farmers are. forced to- hurry
their grain to town after harvest
and must sell early to avoid stor-
age and insurance. Prices are
naturally low then and the heavy
forced unloading keeps them low.
In this manner alone the farmers
of Benton county have lost
enough in one year to build a
good system of roads in shape for
travel the: whole. year. ::
AS now managed, what really
good work is done on a road is
almost useless, owing to neglect
in other places. A few miles of
good road dc not compensate for
ruts and holes further along. Our
present system is bad.
Each. county should have a
general supervisor of roads
man with practical and scientific
knowledge in road building. APP
propriations should be made from
the, general fund: for town people
are benefited by good roads as
we'll as the farmers. Don't patch
poor roads, but build good ones
from the bottom up. 1t isrthe
least expensive method eventu-
ally. The base-line:and:, the sec
tion-line roads in ':Mu1tnomahI
county illustrate this. .,...:.
The road question should COM

our legislators, and the coming
session :. can sdos: no .,;bstter work
than the passage of good prac-.

DEFEAT DOES NOT CLEANSE.

It is customary and right after
ordinary political campaigns to
remove all aspects of hostilities,
and recall no more the bitterness
of the strife. "Let the dead past
bury its dead," has been the
motto of victor and. vanquished.
But the recent campaign has been
an extraordinary one, involving
matters that affect our dearest if1-
terests as citizens, and there have
been serious wrongs committed
by leaders that cannot be condon-
ed simply because their cause has
gone down to defeat.
Mr.. Bryan as we'll as his sup
porters, have resorted to forgery
and to slander of the living and
the dead, and their methods were
no. more dishonest than their
cause: In the face of their de-
cisive defeat they announce al
ready that they will wage another
campaign along the same lines,
in 1900. They, themselves, make
silence as to their recent exploits,
impossible. :
The letter published elsewhere,
issued by Oregon populists, and
grossly slandering Mr.. J. Fred
Yates, of this city, will disgust
all honest citizens of this county.
There can be no decent defense
made, by its authors. Its. shall
lowness and transparent falsity
only reveals the low intelligence
of the petty politicians and do
not mitigate their offense.
Although the letter as publish
ed in the Astorian is dated at AS
toria, it bears every evidence of
having been concocted in Benton
county. For instance it goes on
to say "Yates promised Cleaver
that ne would give him three. or
four precincts in this county
in this way" "This county"
could only mean Benton county.
1t is known that several copies
of the letter were sent to Benton
county, and yet Bryan leaders
here allowed the libel to circulate
undenied. They are at least ac-
cessories, therefore. in the mat
ter.
1t was but a part, however, of
the "skin game" sort of CAM
paign waged here as everywhere
else. The instructions sent out
from Headquarters to Bryan fol-
lowers, advising them to absent
themselves from Mckinley meet
ings, while in itself childish and
a bit of poor political general
ship, showed the aninlus of the
Bryan managers. Countless other
matters could be recalled that
will rise to condemn certain local
politicians when they again seek
to come before the people of Ben
ton county, asking for their votes.
