THEY CAUGHT THE ROBBER.
Deputy Sheriffs Ross and Priest Catch
Andrew Carlson after Long Chase.

Deputy Sheriffs Ross and Priest Catch
Andrew Carlson after Long Chase.
~
The stern chase spoken of in our
last issue did prove to be very
long chase. 1t lasted all the way
from Newport to Slab creek, in
Tillamook county, but the chase
was finally successful.
Deputy Sheriff Ross, in working
up the German case became con-
vinced that Andrew Carlson, fish
erman that has been on the lower
bay for several years, had a hand
in that robbery, and started out to
arrest. About that time Carlson
thought he would get out OF the
country, and started up the beach.
Deputy Ross, accompanied by
Frank Priest, started after him,
and also kept watch Tor the negro
that had been around Newport and
Yaquina for several days, and who
had also started up the beach. AT
Siletz Bay they were right behind
the man, he crossing the bay just
ahead of them. The officers could
get no boat that night and had to
stop on the south side. The next
morning before they couln get over
they saw Carlson strike out on up
the beach. Finding a leaky old
canoe they crossed the bay and
again took up the chase. They
never got clase enough to their man
to get their hands on him until thew
got to Slab Creek, in Tillamook
county. Here they run onto him
and captured him. When captured
Carlson had some of the watches
and revolvers that had been stolen
from Germans store in his possess
sion, He also had some of the pro-
visions that were supposed 10 have
been taken from Gorman's store,
and also some goods that had evil
IDENTIFY come from Davis & Winant's
saloon that was burglarized recent
ly.
Putting the hand-cuffs on the
prisoner, to which proceeding he
made vigorous but useless pro-
test, and the officers took the back
trail for Newport, arriving there
Wednesday night after very hard
trip.
When the time for his prelimi-
nary examination arrived Justice
Sylvester, of Newport, who hal Is
sued the warrant for arrest was abb
sent, and the prisoner was taken
before the next nearest magistrate,
which was Justice Booth. at va
quina, and the prisoner had his
preliminary examination in tnat
court yesterday. The hearing re-
suited in binding the prisoner over
to the grand jury, and in the abb
sence of the necessary bonds the.
prisoner was committed to Jail till
the grand jury meets, which will
be in about month. The sheriff
did not deem any of the wooden
jails OF Lincoln county sufficiently
safe to hold the prisoner, and he
was taken to Corvallis by
Deputy Ross, where he will be con-
fined till court meets.
Sheriff Lands and Deputy Ross
have worked hard on this case, and
are to be congratulated upon their
capture. They have strong sus-
picions who his confederates were,
and more arrests may follow.

Keeping Wealth Distributed.

Out in the Southwest, in one of the
new settlements. the citizens resolved to
take time by the fOrelock and avoid many
of the heart-burnings that are common
further east regarding the distribution
of wealth. A citizen of that locality Wis
iting the East was asked regarding the
practical workings of this new theory in
this community. He was questioned as
to how they were getting along in main
tanning a reasonably fair average in the
acquisition of wealth. He replied that
they were getting along first rate. Don't
you find some of your people more enter
prising than others, have a better bust
ness capacity, and acquire more wealth
than others? Yes, we find that out there.
Don't you also discover that some of your
people get up earlier in the morning than
others, do more work than others, and so
produce more? Yes, we find that there
too. Then how in the world do you man
age to keep things on the dead level with
regard to the acquisition of property
Why, it is the simplest thing in the world.
When we find fellow getting ahead Of
the rest decidedly, we appoint good
sized committee which will be able to
meet the occasion, and send them out
there to live with him until they eat him

EXPORT of Corn.

Corn is about to become one of the food
staples of Europe. In 1892, we exported
1851 $40 bushels Of corn and 2S7 500
barrels Of corn meal. In the last year We
exported 176,919,365 bushels Of corn and
415,263 barrels of corn meal.
AS all are aware, Europe formerly had
an intense prejudice against American
corn, regarding it as unfit for human food.
This prejudice was largely allayed by a
commission sent to Europe during Harri-
sons administration for the purpose of
introducing corn as food. This commits
sion gave lectures about corn, demon
strating its usefulness as a food by prac-
tical instruction in cooking. AS result
of the work of this commission, largely
increased demand for corn was created.
The business depression abroad, and the
food shortage in many countries, has caus-
ed corn as a cheap food staple to estab-
fish itself firmly as permanent food.
There will be an increasing foreign de-
mand for it from now on, and the Ameri-
can overproduction will each year find
more Of sale awaiting for it in European
markets. This means a better price for
the farmer. The commission, discontin-
ued during Cleveland's administration,
should be re-established in the interest
of the American farmer.-EXchange.
The islander. [volume] (Friday Harbor, Wash.) 1891-1899, 1897-12-23
What Caused the Change.

What does high-priced cattle and hogs
mean? Simply that more people east OF
the Missouri river are eating meat. Why
Because they are earning wages. They
are at work. The people who were idle
under the Wilson tariff of the Popocrats
are employed. The people who were
employed under that tariff are get
ting higher wages. What caused the
change? Faith of business men, capital
lists, employers of labor and money, IN
the Republican party and its well-tried
tariff policy.
The tariff nothing to do with it? 1t
has everything to do with it. Canadian
eggs and chickens are shut out ON the
north and Mexican cattle on the south.
The American market for the American
farmer, is the Republican principle, and
it is working, as it always has worked,
for the welfare Of the nation. Pauper
labor is shut out. Pauper made goods
are shut out. The American market is
reserved for the American laboring man
and the American farmer, and both are
realizing the benefits of this patriotic,
business-like policy, tested and vindicated
by American history for more than fifty
years.
The Kansas farmer gives away cattle,
hogs, corn, wheat, hay, eggs, butter and
milk in every vote he gives for Organism,
Populism or fusion. 1t is bad business.
No level-headed farmer will permit the
calamity orators for free silver and flee
trade to deceive him again and induce
him by specious but false promises to vote
away his own property and prosperity

More Democratic Tariff Buster

The wall of the free traders over the
supposed increase in prices under the pro-
tective tariff is not fully justified by the
facts. A recent investigation by the New
York Tribune shows that the advance in
the price of articles imported, basing the
estimate on the net change in some thou
sands of articles, is less than l per cent
The Tribune finds in the same investiga-
ton that there is marked increase in
the prices Of farm products generally.
When the increase in earnings Of those
employed in the manufacturing lines and
the increased profits which those engaged
in agriculture make, are considered, it is
easy to see that the slight increase in
prices of the class of goods affected by the
tariff is far more than balanced by the
gain in earnings of those employed in
producing and manufacturing.

1t Is Coming Along All Right.

Intelligent people understand that, as
far as the new tariff is concerned, it is
too early to forecast definitely what it
will accomplish. 1t is true that it does not
furnish sufficient revenue yet, but with
the enormous anticipatory importations
made while the Dingley bill was pending
this was not to be expected. Moreover,
it requires time for industry and trade to
adjust themselves to the new conditions
created by that enactment, process that
has been made doubly difficult on account
of the devastating gale through which
they have passed since the last Inaugural
ton of Mr.. Cleveland. Before long peo-
pie will be able to pass judgment intelli-
gently on the tariff, and, unless all signs
are amiss, experience will amply vindi-
cate the wisdom and expediency of that
measure.-New York Commercial Adver-
The islander. [volume] (Friday Harbor, Wash.) 1891-1899, 1897-12-23
Gradually Dropping 1t.

The friends of silver are becoming fewer
and fewer. Senator Stewart has told the
people that they may as well fall in line
and get their share of prosperity, as it is
useless to talk silver now; ex-Gov. Alt
geld has dropped silver. and is said to be
organizing a paper money party, and ex-
Gov. Boies has denounced the Is to 1
proposition as suicidal, in view of the
great discrepancy between the coinage
ratio and the commercial ratio of silver.
Many other Democrats, being greenback-
ers at heart, have advocated free silver
as simply a stepping stone to true fatism,
and now that free silver is becoming so
unpopular, they are gradually dropping it.

Practical and Prudent Protection

In our manufactures we start with the
advantage of having our raw material
ready at hand, while England must 90
thousands of miles for every cotton ball
she spins. We can produce all the wool,
cotton, woods and metals required for any
and every variety of manufacture. 1t is,
therefore, clear that with these three nat
ural advantages of food, fuel and raw
material In available abundance we only
need favorable conditions of enterprise
and competition to attain and maintain
absolute supremacy in every line of ku-
man industry. These conditions can only
be provided by the system of protection.
This proposition requires no argument.
1t has been amply demonstrated by expe-
rience.
We require for continuous and increas-
ing prosperity, not so much any particu-
lar tariff schedules, as the general, vital,
conserving principle of protection, prac-
tically applied and prudently adjusted to
the industries and interests of all sec
tons and classes.-Wool Record.

GREAT PRODUCTIVE POWERS.
Results of Protection as Pointed Out

Results of Protection as Pointed Out
by an English Statistician.
1t is singular fact that the people of
the United States are more indebted to
an English writer than to any American
for information concerning the industrial
and commercial resources and progress
of their country. The papers published
by Mr.. Mulhall during the past ten or
twelve months have been a revelation to
even the most intelligent Americans of a
vastness of wealth and power in the
United States of which they had no pre-
vious conception. In the North Ameri-
can Review" for November Mr.. Mulhall
presents an interesting summary of the
results of American trade for thirty
years, in which he says: 1.-The world IS
only beginning to have evidence of the
enormous productive power of the United
States"
Our farms, he says, raise food for 100,-
UOO,UUO of persons every year. He shows
that IN twenty years our production of
grain has increased II per cent and that
of meat q per cent In the same time
the cotton crop in the South has increased
10 per cent, and that, it seems to us, is
quite sufficient to account for the low
price of cotton as compared with other
great staples. 1t is probable that the
people of the cotton States would have
been more prosperous had they been con-
tent with less increase Of production Mr..
Mulha1l does not find any indication that
our resources are approaching a period
OF depletion, but confidently predicts that
our exports of food and cotton will in
crease with our growth in population.
This Increase in our expectation has been
coincident with wonderful development
IN our internal trade, which, Mr.. MulhalI
says, lis the best gauge of national pro-
gress, because it reflects the power, en-
ergy and resources of people,"
Our free trade friends will not fail tn
note the significant fact that all this adj
vance in both foreign and domestic trade
has been accomplished under protective
tariffs. And if they are disposed to argue
that agricultural exports are not proof
of the benefits of protection, we have
only to say that our exports Of inanufac-
tured articles are attaining splendid
growth. And they owe that growth to
the policy that has built them up not less
than to natural advantages. In spite of
the superiority of our natural resources
1T would have been impossible to have at
tanned prominence in manufacturing un-
der free trade or "a tariff for revenue
only" Without protection we should
have been principally engaged in raising
food to exchange for the products of En-.
ropean factories, and our population and
wealth would have made comparat;v
small gains. Our internal trade is as
Mr.. Mulhall says, ''the best gauge of ma
tional progress" and its marvellous
growth is largely due to the policy that
has kept the home market for tho benet;t
OF our own people. 1t is far more impor-
tant than foreign markets for our fac
torres, but we need not make choice be-
tween the two We have one and are
steadily gaining in the other.-Washing-

We Can Produce Our Own Sugar.

Secretary Wilson, the head of the De-
partment Of Agriculture, continues his
practical work in pointing out to the farm
ers Of the United States the Importance
of supplying from their own production
the S4OO,OOO,000 worth of articles for
which we send this amount of money
abroad every year. One hundred million
of this is for sugar and the remainder for
hides, fruits, wines, animals, rice, fax,
cheese, grains of various sorts and other
articles which can be produced by the
farmers of this country. His annual re-
port, which has just been presented to
the President, states that his experiments
thus far with the sugar beet convince him
that the people Of the United States can
readily produce all their own sugar,
while nearly all of the other articles of
agricultural production can also be grown
by them,

SilVer's Low Cost.

Mr.. Edwin Atkinson has recently
shown from careful examination Of the
reports of the silver mining countries that
the cost of producing silver is less than
20 cents per ounce, so that the silver used
in the manufacture of q dollar would
probably cost about 20 cents. He also
discovers that three-fourths OF the value
OF the silver mines of the United States
Is owned abroad. No wonder that the
silver mine owners of this country are
VIKING to spend millions to force ths
United States to adopt laws by which
lney can turn 20 cents worth Of thels
