POSTAL TELEGRAPH.

There is no possibility of Congress

al telegraph system becoming a law at
this session of congress, nevertheless
come when it will be enacted into q
law. The till provides for the estab-
lishment ard maintenance of q postal
telegraph system. y marked reduc-
tion in telegraph rates is contemplated
by the mea sure, which provides for the
transmission of messages any distance
at the rate of ten cents fCrthe first ten
words or less, exclusive of the address
and signature. The proposed system
is to be ope rated in connection with
The pcstoffice and under the direction
of the postmaster-general, who shall
cause to be issued postal telegraph
cards Of the denomination of ten,
fifteen and twenty cents. These cards
may be deposited in any letter
box, the same as mail matter. The
bill further provides that the money
order system now in operation shall,
as soon as practicable, be adapted to
the postal telegraph, and that the
charge for transmitting money orders
within the United States, wherever
money-order offices are established,
shall be the rates Eow charged upon
money orders transmitted by mail, in
addition to the regular charge for pos
tai kilograms. This measure, it is safe
to assert. will meet with the combined
opposition of the telegraph monopo-
lies, and no effort will be spared 10
bring about its defeat.

SOME TION NEEDED

Since the war against Mitchell has
become sort of chestnut and its efforts
in this direction can have little more
effect, it might be well for the Oregon
ian to explain to it's readers why it is
that prosperity has not returned as
result of the election of Major McKin-
ley to the presidency. Just prior to
the November election, according to
the Oregonian, prosperity was right at
hand, millions of capital were ready,
even anxious. to invest in enterprises
that would give employment to hun
dreds of thousands of laborers, make
home market for everything produced
on the farm and in the mills, but
was prevented through a lack of
''confidence''- through fear that
Bryan would be elected and the money
debased. All that was necessary to
entice those millions into the channels
of trade and set the wheels of COM
merce and manufacture moving, was
the assurance that the gold standard,
the beautiful gold standard, that sys-
tenn of money that would make our
dollar worth dollar anywhere in the
world, should be maintained.
The very thing that was needed to
create prosperity materialized. Nc.
Kinley was elected and with him
gilt-edged congress. Confidence was
restored. But the wheels of commerce
stubbornly refuse to rnvolye. The
fires in the factories have not been
kindled. The doors of the great ware
houses for gold open to receive but not
to invest in enterprise. The laborer
is without work. Hunger, want,
misery exist in every locality where
the unemployed are numerous. These
are deplorable conditions, but they
actually exist. Still their existence
cannot be attributed to any threat of
changing our financial system or to a
threat to reduce the tariff, for we have !
a president elected who is welded by |
the declarations of his party platform
to maintain the present gold standard |
and increase the tariff duties on lines |
of protection and revenue. He is
backed by congress also pledged to
these principles. Then why is it the
promised prosperity has not come?
Why is it that capital, which was
scared into hiding by the threat of
opening the mints to the free coinage
of silver, is not investing in enterprise
instead of flowing into the already
money marts?
The Dalles times-mountaineer. [volume] (The Dalles, Or.) 1882-1904, 1897-02-27
Mckinley TARIFF METHODS.

The tariff-hearings that have been
conducted by the congressional ways
and means committee are on the same
basis as the system that made McKin-
ley's fame. 1t is a simple method and
one that demonstrates how thorough
ly the wealth of the country dominates
all legislation. The coal barons are
called in to fix the coal schedule: the
iron, and steel men to say how much
protection they demand, and so on
through the entire list of the articles
that are to go in the Dingley bill.
This method is beautiful in its sim
plicity and, of course, can not but be
highly beneficial to the workingmen.
For nothing can be more easily de-
monstrated than that Messrs. Carnegie,
Rockefeller, Hanna, ct al, after being
able to set their own price on the
goods they manufacture will call in the
laborers and raise their wages. This
is human nature and these gentlemen
have the characteristic highly devel-
oped.
How long will the people be hum

bugged? How long will they place
laws upon the statute books that en-
able the manufacturers to charge from
eight to eleven dollars per ton more
for steel rails, for instance, to the
American buyer than the same could
be laid down from a foreign market,
and ct the same time the manufacturer
is underselling all competitors in the
markets of japan and Mexico.
p T. Barnum was authority for the
statement that the American people
liked to be humbugged, and moth
ing could more fully justify his
assertion than the fact that they are
willing to turn over to the multi mil
lionaires of the country the tax making
power of the government.

Hundreds of kilograms have poured
in on Consul General Lee from all

from the United States promising pa

heavy cares and responsibilities which
the administration should share weigh
ing upon him, General Lee views the
situation from calm, dispassionate

that the situation created by the mur-

tion not to submit to another similar
atrocity should not be exploited by
particular advocates of any particular
policy toward the island of Cuba.

SPARRING FOB POINTS.

On January 1lth there was opened
at Salem one of the most gigantic
sparring matches ever with essed in the
United States. ard the end is not yet.
The principals in the ring were John
b. Mitchell and Joe Simon, and time
alone will tell who scored the most
points, for no referee can at this date
determine who is entitled to the
championship pelt. Each of the
worthy pugilists has scored some de-
cided points, but neither can cay that
he is the absolute boss Of the re-
publican party in Oregon, the goal for
which each was cOntepding.
Simon has defeated Mitchell and
prevented his reelection as United
States senator, but in return Mitchell
has been able to prevent the organi-
zation of the legislature or lines ac-
ceptable to Simon for period OF forty
days and has left that gentleman in
charge CT the state house, but without
very heavy following. Still the vital
question OF who is boss has not been
determined. However, while these
worthless have been fighting over the
bone, it appears to a casual observer
that another element has stepped in
and got away with the meat, or at
least will get away with it when the
next state election shall occur. Be-
tween Mitchell and Simon, the rapub-
lican party in Oregon has been
wrecked. While they were contending
for the honor of being boss some his
tory has been manufactured, and the
last chapter Of that history will be
written in June, 1898, when the people
of the state will sit as jury to decide
if the stewardship of the republican
party, led by bossism, has been good.
The verdict will be init

WOODBURY., Or. Fer. 23.-The post
Office at Mount Angel was entered by
burglars last night. Entrance vas eff
fected through a rear door, some time
during the latter part of the night.
The postoffice safe was blown open and
about 500 in stamps and s775 iE money
taken. After looting the rcstolfice,
the burglars tried to effect an entrance
to Barney Oswald's saloon, but were
frightened away by d butcher, who
slept in his shop in the adjoining build
ing. The burglars afterward tried to
break into the carhouse, for the pur-
pose, it is supposed, of securinga hand
car on which to ride out of the county.
No clew has yet been obtained as to
their identity. Parties are securing
the country looking for them.

AS an unrelenting. foolhardv an,

As an unrelenting, foolhardy and
senseiess fighter of an opponent the
Oregonian has few eqrals. By its
abuse of the opposition to Dolph two
years ago it succeeded in defeating
him, and the course il has pursued in
opposing Mitchell has had the effect
to cement his forces and throw sympa-
thy to him. Its last effort in this direc-
tion is letter published today, pur-
porting to be from J. NJ. Nipple, of
jefferson, O., stating that the writer is
a brother of Senator Mitchell, and
wants information as to The status of
the senatorial contest In this snide
effort the Oregonian parades circum-
stance that will never be forgotten,
that Senator Mitchell's real name was
Nipple, though it has long since been
worn threadb bare, and cuts no figure in
the present controversy.
