OPINIONS OF THE PR Ess.
BURDENS OF TAXATION.

S0uthern Farm Magazine.
No class OF people feels these burdens
as much as the farmer. His business is
ultimate. The merchants, the manu-
facturers. the railroads, the professional
man, all other classes, indeed, may
throw the bulk of their burdens back
upon the farmer. His class constitutes
the great body of consumers In this
country. Whatever tax the merchant
pays Is added to the cost of his wares,
and SO 1t goes all along the line. But
the farmer, when he purchases the
goods, must pay for all this increased
taxation. He does not fix the price
upon the goods he buys, nor upon the
produce which he sells. If the prosper
ity reaches him it is at the end of the
line, for he is virtually reduced by al
other classes to the narrowest margin
of profit

THE AMERICAN BUZZARD
COMING !

The Richmond Dispatch of Tuesday
SO admirably and sagaciously diagnoses
the present situation. as resulting from
the last battle of Manila and the rati-
ication of the Paris Treaty. that we
quote 1t largely. OF course, neither the
Dispatch nor THE VIRGINIAN-
PILOT would have had that battle re-
suit other than it did, in the victory of
our arms. If it had to occur. either
from the impatience of the Philippines,
or from orders originating or inspired
from Washington. but we concur fully
with the Dispatch that both the battle
and the ratlicati ton of the treaty were
unfortunate and are ominous to our
institutions. Speaking of the battle,
the Dispatch says:
None the less it was exceedingly un.
fortunate for this nation that it should
have occurred just when ii did seeing
that it proved good enough Morgan

istic hackers. The clock could not

cation of homes, the growth OF
school population, the building Of
schoolhouses and churches, the i'm
provement of highways and the ex-
tention of community life over vast
areas that have hitherto been prac-
tically dead TO these influences.
The loneliness of country life in
Oregon has been in the past one of
its most unattractive features.
This isloation has caused men and
women to become in many in
stances "untidy, loveless, old before
their time" and sent children into
such urban life as was within their
reach, i'll equipped to meet its con-
ditions and readily enticed by its
doubtful social glamors. To well
come homeseekers is to welcome
civilization, whose advance agents
they are. At the present stage of
our industrial development any
large increase in our homebuilding
population must be of the agricul-
tural class-using this term i'll the
correlative features of agriculture.
For these there IS room and such
promise of prosperity as industry
and economy, reflected upon a
genial climate and fertile soil, can
give. The assurance that a large
number of such persons are seeking
and finding homes in the various
sections of the state is an assurance
of development within the next few
years that is exceedingly gratifying
and full of promise.

Governor Geer has expressed
sensible views concerning the re-
tention of the Philippines by the
United States and the necessity for
building the Nicaragua canal. In
reply to request for his views as
to the effect both would have on
business in Oregon, he sent to the
New York Journal the following
telegram:
"The people of Oregon are in
favor of retaining the Philippine is
lands, for several reasons, but chief.
fly because it will speedily enlarge
the market for many of our staple
products, and especially that for
our wheat and lumber.
"In proportion as they pass
under the influence of modern civil
ization, which will rapidly follow in
the wake of American occupation
will demand for and consumption
of the products of American farms
and forests increase. Since these
results are very much to be desired
from both an industrial and com
mercial point of view. our people
are practically unanimous in favor
of raising the American flag for all
time over the territory secured
largely by the blood of so MANY OF
Our volunteer soldiers.
eff there are those among us
who think they cannot be patriotic
citizens without standing OH a plat
form opposing the republican party,
they will be found next year de-
claiming loudly against imperial
ISM Otherwise, we are in favor
OF expansion.
The Nicaragua canal should be
speedily built for the reason that it
would shorten the route between
the producers and consumers of
nearly every product of civilized
nations, and especially between the
coasts of our own country.
The American citizen living
on the Pacific coast, or any other
coast, who is opposed to this great
enterprise has been born too late
by full half century. The people
OF Oregon are in favor of the Mic
aragua canal and so-called policy Of
expansion, because they take an in
telligent view of the possibilities OF
the great country, and have un.
bounded faith in the strength of our
government to wisely use the Ha-
waiian and PHILIPPINE islands, as no,
only necessary but indispensable
stepping stones to that vast field of
undeveloped commerce that lies be.
