A HOME MARKET.

Wasco County will soon be in the
markets with another crop, and will
: in short time be. a competitor with
the producers of the world, for it must
look beyond its own territory for pur-
chasers for its products, except the
small amount that is required to meet
home demand, The surplus of its
wool, meats, fruits and vegetables will
be sent abroad, and by far too much of
it will be put upon the outside markets
in comparatively raw state. All the
wool will be sent away just as it comes
from the backs, of the sheep, three
fourths Of the wheat will be shipped as
it came from the thresher, and very
nearly all the fruits will be put upon
the market just as it Is gathered from
the trees.
This is owing to shortsightedness on
the part of the citizens of The Dailes
in not supplying factories atwhich the
products of the county could be con-
verted into articles ready for consump-
ton. In the matter of fruit. it is-Pos-
sibly most advantageous to put it on
the market fresfff from thexrees when
ever there is demand for green fruits,
but years when there is a surplus, as
there will probably be this year, there
should be means for drying and cam
ming what cannot be sold in green
state But with wool and wheat the
conditions are entirely different.
Every pound of wool should either be
secured or manufactured into cloth
right here, and all the wheat ought
to be ground into flour before it is sent
abroad. '
The Dalles would not only derive the
benefit of manufacturing if wooden and
securing mills were supplied to con-
sumo the wool product, and more ex-
tensive Touring mills were established
so that the entire product could be
consumed, but in addition would in
crease its population SO that it would
soon require double the amount of farm
produce to feed its people, thus becom-
ing direct market for more articles of |
food. Thus the surrounding farmers
would derive the benefits of home |
market for their meats, vegetables and
dairy products, and such a market is
the best in the world. Whenever The
Dalles can consume the product of
small farmers. truck farmers as they
are called, and at the same time save
the profits of manufacturing and trans.
portation that now go abroad, then it
will be prosperous. But to accomplish
this, to build upa home market,it must
first become a manufacturing city, a
city where there are more-mouths to
iced and more people to clothe.

pension of the presidents order. Can
non of Utah, referred to the order as
barbarous and inhuman. Stewart OF
Nevada, characterized it as disgrace
to American civilization and the worst
outrage of the last half century"
Pettigrew asserted the order was the
result of the Ignorance of Grover
Cleveland" He said in South Dakota
the area included as part of the forest
reserve contained Il postofices, Is, ,00C
people and so miles of railroad. He
urged also that the academy of science
which recommended this act should be
rebuked and favored the defeat of the
sundry civil bill rather than have the
order stand.
When Allison said this was the best
arrangement that could be made with
the house. Tfllman eJaculated. "They
have no house over there, anyway.
They have one man running it,"
The vote on the report resulted in
its adoption, 80. voting for and %
against it.

Times are considerably out of joint
just now, but they are certain to i'm.
prove in this immediate vicinity in a
short time, since the fruit and wool
will soon be on the market, and these
products will put considerable money
into circulation. However the outlook
for fruit is none too flattering, for the
demand is not great, not nearly so
great as it would be If the silver mines
in the Rocky mountains were in full
operations, and employing 10000 or
100000 men, as they would be today il
the election last November had gone
differently.

THE WHITE FLEET

NEW YORK, May 26.-A dispatch to
the Herald from Madrid says:
Extreme tension continues between
the political parties. Last nights
Heraldo, defending Senior Sagasta
against the insinuatious of the con.
-servatives, frankly exposed the de-
plorable military situation in Cuba.
The Heraldo says that the whole dis
trict of Camaguay is in the power Of
the rebels; that there is only one Span
ish column to operate over district of
80, 900 square miles, and that in the
whole of the eastern region in Cuba
Spanish troops have ne, er yet set foot.
1t calls the alleged paciication of Cuba
comedy.
The same paper further insinuates
that messages purporting to be from
Senor Dupuy de LONE protesting
against the speeches OF Senior Sagasta,
the leader of the Spanish dissi1ent
conservatives, because of the effect
produced in the United States, were
written by conservatives in Madrid.
Premier Canovas' words in the
cortes regarding the supreme neces-
stiles of the fatherland, were:
81 shall govern the country as it has
been governed before, and as l myself
governed it before now, without the
aid of minorities."
Both liberals and Sylivasts have
stopped attending parliament.
Mr.. Calhoun's attitude in regard to
the Ruiz investigation is causing un-
easiness and resentment here. Senior
Pidal, on behalf OF the majority, |
begged Senior Sagasta to return with
his minority to parliament. Senor
Sagasta, while thanking Senior Pidal,
refused absolutely.
The ministerial organ, La Epoca,
says that the present situation in Spain
is the most difficult she has been in for
at least so years.

The lady who lives at the family hotel

To Reduce Capital Stock.

FRANKFORT, KY, May 26.-An ap-
plication was filed by the Northern
bank of Kentucky with the secretary
of state for authority to reduce its
capital stock from 81 800, 900 to 5000. 900
This is for the purpose of issuing S900,-
coo certificates of deposit to stock
holders in lieu of that value in stock.
BY this means it is hoped to evade a
law taxing bank stock irrespective of
any contract with the state to the con-
trary. Some other banks will t"y this
expedient. Other banks will appeal
from the appellate court, which has
approved the law, to the federal courts,

Silver bullion has now fallen to 60
cents an ounce, and the goldites hold
this up as an evidence that silver is
not acceptable as a money metal,
which is no argument. The fact is
there is little demand for silver, simply
because the world does not recognize
it as basic money metal. Were the
government stamp refused gold, it
would experience like depreciation.
There has been no over production of
silver or under production of gold that
causes the present depreciation of the
former. 1t is simply falling off in
demand.

| failure, but as a murderer and buffer
is complete success. However he
has undertaken one bluff that will
| avail little. His assertion that the
| recognition of the existence of war in
Cuba by the United States will
strengthen Spain and got this govern
ment into entanglements with the
European powers, will not scare con-
gressmen or prevent them voting for
the Morgan resolution.
| In presenting the rev tariff bill to
| the senate, Senator Aidrich stated
that the sugar consumed by the people
| of the United States row costs them
800, ,000, 900, and under the workings OF
| the proposed tariff il will cost them
more than Sl6O,OO0, 600. This is only
taste of what republican legisla-
tion will cost the people. The price
| of sugar more than doubled. tea ad-
vacced 10 cents a pound. clothing ad-
vanced 30 per cent. But don't kick.
| This is what you voted for last fall.
The importations in April were the
largest recorded in the recent COM
mercial history of the United States.
| They amounted to 'Sl0l, ,305, l3l or
nearly double those of April, 1896.
This is not an evidence of prosperity,
however. 1t simply shows that i'm
porters are taking advantage OF the
! proposed increase of duties when the
| new tariff law takes effect. When
these same goods are offered to the
| producer they will be at the same
price as If the higher duties were paid.
The election of exCongressman
Mallory to the senate from Florida
changes the political complexion of
the upper house of congress on the
money question at least, for with him
the democrats, populists and silver re-
publicans have 45 votes to A straight
out gold republicans. This. however,
cuts little figure, as there will be no
financial legislation at this session,
though it may serve as check to the
ambitions of Secretary Gage to turn
the financial system of the govern
ment oyer to the national banks.
There is wheat shortage reported
from France. 1t is officially stated
that the crop of 1897 in France will be
fully 60, 100000 bushels less than that
of 1896. 1t is an ill wind that blows
no one good. The Eastern Oregon
farmer will cheerfully contribute to-
ward supplying this shortage in France
and in all other sections where the
crop is light. This year our farmers
will have many bushels of wheat to
help feed the hungry of Europe, and
owing to the misfortunes of those
across the water, it will command at
least a fair price.
