PRACTICAL COMMUNISM.

Those who are organizing trusts in
industrial pursuits are unwittingly pnt-
ting into practical application the
theories of communism to an extent
that to many is unobserved. The idea of
the communist is to prevent individual
competition to the extent that every
person shall receive just compensation
for his labor, and the outcome of the
trust manager is that competition shall
be limited SO that he shall receive an
unreasonable profit for the services he
performs. The principle, however, is
the same. though the trust manipula-
latior seeks to enhance the interests
of few favored in ndividuals, while the
ordinary communist proposes to stop
competition in all branches, and in the
end benefit the entire community.
The trust manipulation proposes to
combine all the producers in a certain
pursuit. so that the product can be
limited in order that the market may
not be over stocked, and fixed prices
may be maintained. The avowed COM
munist proposes to so regulate affairs
that there will not be competition in
any line, and that none will be required
to perform any except necessary labor.
The principles advocated by both are
identical, though the trust manipulate
ors are able to bring their theories in
to execution while the communists
have thus far been unsuccessful.

REWARD THE MEN.

Portland has taken the initiative in
expressing recognition of the brill
liant achievements of General Sum-
mers, and he will be presented with an
elegant token of esteem when he re-
turns from the war. This act on the
part of Portland is commendable, for
he has won honors for the state while
commanding the Oregon regiment,
but his achievements would have not
been crowned with glory had not he
been the leader of men as braye as he
men who were the flower OF the
state when they went away and will
be the pride Of Oregon when they re-
turn. Every one of them assisted in
the success Of the campaign, and is as
much entitled to recognition as Is
the gallant general 1t probably
would be inappropriate to present
each man with a sword, but each
should be given some token of esteem
by the people; and now that General
Summers will receive due recognition,
we suggest that an appropriate medal
be presented to every officer and
private in the regiment. The fund
for General Summers sword has been
raised by Portland, why should not
the rest of the state supply the fund
for medals to be presented to the boys
who carried the muskets? If every
place that contributed men to the
ranks will take the matter in hand,
the soldiers can be rewarded; they can
be presented with souvenir that they
will appreciate, and the people gener-
ally can thus express their spprecia-
ion of the men who stood the brunt Of
soldier life.

PRISONER OF DEVIL'S ISLAND

At last the civil section of the French
court of cessation has reported in favor
of the revision of the Dreyfus case.
This signifies that the victim of the
most infamous military intrigue of
this century is to be removed from his
living tomb to Paris, for retrial, says
the Portland Telegram.
1t is months since this court first be-
gan Investigating the merits OF the
petition for revision of this mons
trous affair, and, despite tho fact that
Dreyfus' main prosecutors have been
proven unmitigated scoundrels and
self-confessed psrjurers aud forgers,
this victim of maleyolence has been
forced to exist in an atmosphere OF
hopelessness and desperation in which
ordinary men, or, at least. those con-
scioLs of guilt, would long ago have
succumbed.
But the entire civilized world, out
side of France, now is fully satisfied of
his innocence, and should Dreyfus
reach Paris alive and be subjected to
a new trial, no honest civil or military
courL can convict him. The testimony;
as published in the Figaro, establishes
his unjust conviction in the first in
stance. But long ere Figaro reached
that Judgment did the intelligent and
just press of all nations denounce fhe
mode of conducting Dreyfus' trial, at
the denouement.
Should this unfortunate man be ac-
quilted at this forthcoming trial, if
justice has not altogether abandoned
France. what reparation can the
French government make for she in
tense mental anguish its victim and
family have suffered?
Whatever the fildings of the court
may be, it is impossible to conceive
that other European nations would
submit to Dreyfus' return to his prison
island, when considering the character
Of the testimony against him, because
q great and important principle is in
Yolved in this case.

been published show that war is
a most expensive pastime in financial
sense, without considering the loss of
valuable lives. Among the wars of the
last half century. the direct cost is
computed as follows: The Crimean
war, Sl.700, 900: the Italian war of 1858,
$253, 600, 600; the Austro-Prussian war,
1880, ,000, 900; the Franco German war,
81, ,533, SOC, 900. and the Turko-Russian
war, 81 ,290, 900, ,00U-a total of over six
billions of dollors for the five great
European conflicts. The American
Civil war cost S., 600, ,OOO, 900 and ST., ,O00,-
600, 900 in loss of property. The expense
of the war in which the United States
Ia now engaged Is not included in the
list, but has so far been about $3.50, ,OOO,-
900. In addition to the actual cost OF
prosecuting wars, there is added the
expense of preparation in time OF
peace in the construction of navies,
army equipments and maintenance,
which in some of the European coun-
tries is nearly as great as the cost OF
keeping up the civil government.
If such figures are convincing &C.
cording to their immensity, the con-
ference at The Hague will not be di-
latory in arriving at the conclusion
that universal peace is desirable, and
if adopted by all powers would induce
the world to convert its battle ships
into pleasure boats and assemble its
cannon in museums as curios for
future generations to wonder at.

LOSING FOREIGN MARKETS.

While we are engaged in a war tor
the ostensible purpose of creating
markets for our products, we are losing
the markets we supplied year ago.
We had gained markets last year by
means of our ability to sell goods
more cheaply than our competitors.
Between the operations of trusts in
advancing prices and the increased
cost of production in consequence of
war taxes, we have increased the home
cost of production above the foreign
cost. In the four months of the
present calandar year for which re-
turns haye been made, the value of ex-
ports is nearly S5O,O00,000 below the
figures for the. corresponding four
mouths in the proceeding year. The
war taxes have increased the cost of
living, and the increase in the cost of
living has led to an increase in
wages. Competition among nations is
now so close that slight addition to
the cost of production in one country
turns the tide of trade towards other
countries. The money expended in the
construction of new war vessels is
gained by an increased tax on indus
tries The cost of production is also in.
creased by the exactious of monopolies.
When the plants of an industry are
purchased by combine, and the stock
is given fictitious value, the increase
in earnings of capital made necessary
to pay interests on the fictitious capi.
tai, adds to the cost of production.

WHEAT AND POLITICS.

When the farmers were getting
from 80 cents to one dollar bushel for
their 1897 crop it was heralded over
the length and breadth of the land
that prosperity had been brought to the
sturdy sons of toll through the rein
statement of the republican party in
power, the enactment of protective
tariff and the maintenance OF the gold
standard. So loudly were the glad
tidings proclaimed that many accepted
them as facts, and really believed that
the price of wheat had been advanced
by reason of the change in admins
tration. The contention that the ad-
vance in wheat was owing to the fail
ure of crops in other grain growing
countries and not because OF legisla-
ton was unheeded. Recent events are
beginning to prove the fallacy OF the
statement that the act of any political
party affected the price OF the
farmers staple product. No stronger
proof of the claim that supply and de-
mand regulate the price OF wheat, and
that short crop abroad results In
good prices here, while heavy yield
in foreign countries means low prices
in America, can be found than in the
following item which appeared in the
news columns of Tuesdays Oregonian:
"The British chip Mistley Hall
cleared yesterday with 1O2,675 bushles
of wheat, valued at S61,6lO. She was
dispatched by Sibson & Kerr and the
figures of her cargo are interesting in
comparison with those of her cargo last
season. This year she is the last ship
of the May feet and last year she was
the last ship of the April fleet. At
that time she cleared with the only
cargo OF dollar wheat which left here,
1O1, ,112 bushels. valued at $lOl, liz.
This year, with 1900 bushels more
aboard than she carried year ago, the
value is S39, ,5O2 less than it was then."
If the price of wheat were governed
by legislation, there should be no diff
ference now and a year ago. The crops
of 1897 and 1898 were about equal in
this country, hence there was no sur.
plus here to cause fall of price, but
there was a great shortage abroad in
1897, whereas fair crop was harvested
in 1898. There had been no change in
legislation during that time, therefore
protection and .he gold standard
should have given the farmer as much
for his 1898 crop as they did for that OF
1897. But on one cargo of little more
than 100000 bushels the farmers lost
$39, SOP. The farmers who produced
this cargo have lost little more than
80 cents bushel, comparing this years
prices with last. The prosperity"
with which they were struck cost them
S39, 900. This is only Que incident of
the prosperity that politics has not
brought to the wheat raiser. While
his products have fallen in value, the
price of nearly everything he buys is
advanced from 10 to 100 per cent. On
the whole, he is no better off than
when the money question was being
agitated and there was less duty on
imports.

and it brands all who question the
presidents policy as anti-Americans.
On this line of reasoning, we presume
it would be treason to oppose any
policy of the administration. If the
president were to declare war against
the men who voted against him in 1896
and order them all shot, we presume
the Republican would say it was the
the duty to stand by him until they
were all killed.
SIT is announced that two hundred
and seventy men, worth a million
each. including Hanna, warmed seats
in the last congress-; and still they are
other wanting to take up the rich
mans burden. These people were
by the votes of the poor people," says
the Union Scout. The Scout is wrong
in it's last assertion. Most of the
millionaires are in the senate, land they
were elected by legislators who were
influenced largely by money or the
promise of reward in the shape o.
political preference. Whenever the
people elect all of congress, there will
be fewer men in it who are anxious tt
take up the rich mans burden.

HOME INDUSTRIES.

The proposition to establish a fruit
evaporator In The Dalles is meeting
with such encouragement that it Is al
most an assured fact. Men with capi-
tai are ready to invest 10 the enter.
prise and will give it their financial
and moral support, therefore it will be
established on firm basis. But that
it may prove success depends to a
great extent upon the support it gets
here at home. Like all manufacture
ing industries, fruit dryer must have
q market to be a success, and the best
market any industry can have is the
market at home. If the merchants of
The Dalles and other Wasco county
towns buy their output and handle no
other dried fruit than that put up in
The Dalles, the enterprise will succeed,
for if it has the backing of home deal
ers, its output will readily become
popular abroad.
In this connection it might be stated
that in order to get home industries in
any line they must receive the patron
age of home people. An article pro-
duced here may cost little more at
the start than one produced abroad,
but theindirect benefit of home produc-
ton is of such Importance that the
dealer can afford to pay slight mar
gin for home produced article.
The proposed fruit drying factory
furnishes "a good example of what
home industries mean. Fruit growers
in this county are ever placed at dis.
advantage in marketing their product.
1t is perishable article, hence must be
placed on the market as soon as
gathered. Shippers realize this fact,
andsare ready to take advantage of ait.
They either refuse to buy the frtuie,orl
offer price that the grower cannot
accept. AS a result the grower is
forced to ship his fruit or accept for it
price that leaves him no profit, for
it must be marketed, and there being
no home consumer it must be sent
abroad at time when all other fruit
growers are in the market. But with
a dryer at home the grower becomes
independent, for he is not forced to
sell at harvest time. But that the
dryer become a permanency it must
have the support of those who are at
least indirectly benefited by its exis-
tence. The same is true of any other
industry that may be established here
If it receives local support it will
thrive; if not it goes to the wall.
