WHAT OF THE FUTURE?

When one draws back the veil which
obscures the future from the present,
and gazes into what is in store for the
Pacific coast during the next few years,
he can but see vision of unprece-
dented prosperity. Elements are at
work that cannot but bring good times
to the coast, commencing with the
prosperity that has been created by
the immense crop of cereals harvested
this fall. Principal among these
elements is the rush that will be made
to the Alaska mines next year, and
which will not cease for years to come.
1t is safe calculation that 25O,
people from the east of the Rocky
mountains will start for Klondike
next year, and it is safe to say that
evesy one of them will start with an
average of 81 900 each, or lump sum
of $3.50, 100000 All this vast throng
will pass through either Oregon,
Washington or California on their
way north, and their outfitting will
be done on the coast. At least $780,
100000 will be put in circulation in
the coast cities for supplies, and
large portion of this amount will
finally drift back into the rural dis
tricts in payment for raw materials.
Besides thousands who start for the
mines will become discouraged when
they reach the coast and learn of the
throng that has gone before them, and
instead of proceeding to Alaska will
stop in one of the three coast states.
ALI of them will be out for the pur-
pose of making a "raise?" thsy will
haye left home with the expectations of
a. fortune before return
ing, and will invest in business and
speculations here rather than retrace |
their steps to their eastern homes.
These results cannot but stimulate |
business throughout the Northwest
and create good times.
To the East it will have the opposite
effect. The money that will.be brought
West by the gold.seekers will be with
Drawn from circulation, will be taken
put of active business, and the with
travail of $3.50, 600, 600 from circulation
sven though it comes from the wide
territory of al the states east of the
Rockies, cannot but have bad effect.
1t must retard business in every line.
ind while we of the West will euioy
prosperity, there will be depression
n the Eastern states caused by the
money thai will take wings and fly to-
ward the gold fields of Alaska.

CALIFORNIA GOLD DISCOVERY

1t has long been acknowledged that
James w. Marshall was the discoverer
of gold in California, and to him has
been accredited that honor so long
that It is useless at this time to at
tempt to detract from his name that
connection of ''descoYerer. 1t would
: be like an attempt to take from Colum-
bus the honor of having discovered
America. Still, there were those who
!. were entitled to as much credit for the
! discovery as was Marshall, for it was
purely accidental that the discovery
was made, and it was accidental that
Marshall was the man who found the
shining metal that brought the Pacific
coast to the front as great wealth
producing country.
General John Bidwell, California
pioneer of 1841, has been lecturing be-
fore the California Pioneers on the dis
covery of gold in 1s4S, the credit for
which he gives to General Sutter rather
than to james w. Marshall Mar
shall picked up the first nugget,
, but that was a mere lucky accident.
while. but +. for Suffers money
and enterprise in establishing a saw
mill, the gold discovery would never
have been made by his workman, Mar
shall, says the Oakland Enquirer. A
good deal of argument has been ex''
peuded in times past over this question
whether Sutter or Marshall was en-
titled to most credit for the discovery,
but the fact is that neither man did
anything to earn many laurels. There
was really very little reason for erect
ing a monument to Marshall for the
gold discovery, as 1t was only chance
that carried him to the finding OF the
gold rather than some other person.
The men who really deserve credit in
connection with the mining develop
ment are those who followed in the
wake of this accidental discovery with
scientific study and courageous enter
prise; those who followed the first clue
from the creek in which Marshall
stumbled upon it through the noun
tains and up the channels of a hundred
streams, and proved that the precious
metal was not product limited to one
or two spots in California, but was diff
fused through nearly the whole OF the
Sierra region.
General Bidwell himself is entitled
to as much credit as either Sutter or
Marshall, and perhaps to more, since
very soon after the discovery at Coloma
he visited the spot and, making obser-
vations of the character of the earth
deposits, he went back to Butte county
and, noticing the same formations
here, came rightly to the conclusion
Ehat gold should be discovered in his
Dwn vicinity, and thereupon proceeded
70 find it. This was a greater intel
|ectual accomplishment than either
5utter or Marshall performed in con-
aection with the gold discovery.

AN UNREASONABLE bEMAND.

A reporter at Baker, City quotes
Representative Ellis as eaying that il
IAN attempt should be made in con-
cress to pass bill for frSe coinage OF
silver by the United States alone. he
would most decidedly vote }against it. -
Also, that "the time was VII hen he en-
tertained different views, bAt that time
is passed." Mr.. Ellis shou9 ID put this
statement in a public addifess, so it
may be understood that therte is no
mistake about it. Men cannot BE held
to accountability for private colnver-
sations on matters of public import
ance. Hearsay is always doubteS.-
Oregonian.
The Oregonian is indeed exactin&
in refusing to accept ordinary pledges
of fsalty to party from any public man
who has ever looked upon silver with
favorable gaze. 1t insists that they
shall swear never again to eyen let
the thought of free coinage enter their
brains. Almost anybody but the Or
egonians would have accepted the
statements of Senator Mitchell made
on the stump last fall that he stood by
the st. Louis platform on the money
question. His former friends who
were ready to support him because of
his friendship TO silver accepted his
statements as true, and at once fore
swore their allegiance. On account
of his statements that be supported the
national republican platform, men
who were elected to the legislature
pledged to support him for reelection
withdrew their support, and joined
with those who were working to ac-
complish his defeat. Everybody in
the state, except ;he Oregonian and
some of it's followers, saw in Mr.. |
no longer friend of silver,
but one who had followed the lead of
his party along the lines that weru
certain to result in nothing except the |
gold standard.
So will the statement of Mr.. Ellis |
elldb no "Oulu mOSb rueC1uculy NOGo |
against free coinage" be accepted by
The advocates of silver as plainly de- |
lining his position, to the extent that
should he be the nominee of the re-
publican party for congress next year
hone of them will vote for him. By
,his statement he has alienated the
'ilver republicans, and they will here
lfter class him with the gold element.
No more positive proof than his state
nent should be demanded by the Or
,gonian or any other gold-standard
Idvocate. 1t is absurd that he should
,e required to hire a hall or proclaim
lis loyalty to gold from the housetops.
rhe Oregonian asks too much, asks
more than is reasonable; the proof it
demands is more than Is required, for
dr. Ellis has already said enough to
rive all the silver republicans from
lin, and he has no other place to fall
han with the gold advocates.

existence. We refer to George M.
Pullman and Henry George. These
men raised families, and it was evil
IDENTIFY the hope of both that their Off
spring should so live and improve
their talents that they should be able
to take up the work of each parent
when each should cease to exist. The
hope of one was realized, that of the
other blighted.
The Son of Henry George was reared
in the busy world; educated in the
trials and hardships of living by his
own exertions. He followed in the
footsteps of his illustrious father, and
when he was cut down by death on the
eve OF an election in ~L.uu ne was a
prominent figure, the son was made
the successor of his father as the NOM
inee for mayor of the second city in the
world, and with only three days. cam
paign polled over $1,000 votes in that
great city. The sterling qualities of
the father had been transmitted to the
son, and this merit was recognized BY
more than 10000 of his fellow cityzens
in New York.
How different with the sons of Pull
man! They were rocked in the cradle
of luxury; had never known what it
was to earn meal, to exercise care
in the supervision of business, or even
husband inherited wealth. When the
great financier died he had not son to
who could succeed him as manager of
his vast business interests. None of
his business sagacity and forethought
had been transmitted from the father
to the sens.
. There are reasons for the difference
in the adaptability of these two great
mems sons. During the early life of
young George his father was struggling
for position and existence. The boy
was made the companion of the father
in his labors. He was taught to grasp
and at the same time to rely
upon himself, to know that upon his
personal exertions depended his exis-
tence. Pullman's sons led different
lie. Their education was entrusted to
hirelings. They were never made the
or confidential advisers of
ths father, and means with which to
satisfy their every desire were con-
stantly at their command; consequent
ly the sons were not prototypes of the
father. Is it any wonder the son of
George Is a success and the sons of
Pullman are failures? |
