THAT HIDEOUS NIGHTMARE

After twenty years of wandering In
the desert of silverism, the republican
party emerges into the promised land
of honest money. Ignorance has dis
appeared before enlightenment, dema-
gogy has at last been unmasked and
stands revealed in all its misery and
shame. Hereafter no republican need
tremble at the sound of the word
"gold" or fear to say he is for the
gold standard.
What did John G. Carlisle have to
fill up his reports with as secretary of
the treasury? Exposure Of free coin.
age and demonstrations of the gold
standard. But now it is possible for
Secretary Gage to get upon higher
ground. He doesn't have to apologize
for gold and swear friendship for
silver. Thar has passed away. We
have got beyond it. All there IL left
of free coinage now is hideous night.

Yes, all that is left of free coinag-
for the present is q ''hideous night

nation is only remembered in our
dreams. The time when the silver
mines of the Rockys gave employment

t is the alleged currency reform bill
which proposes to make all obligations

TRUSTS ARE UNLA WFUL.

The United States supreme court has
handed down an unanimous decision
that all trade combinations engaged
In interstate commerce which by con-
certed action prevent competition and
enhance prices beyond reasonable
limit, thus restricting trade, are un.
lawful and are subject to the Sherman
antitrust law. The case in which this
opinion was rendered was one against
the Addyston Pipe and Steel Co., and
Is the first application of the Sherman
law to manufacturing enterprises.
This decision of the supreme court
is direct slap at Attorney Genera
Griggs. who held that the antitrust
law was imperative as applied to man
ufacturers. In recent letter the at
torney-general said:
"A combination or trust for the pur-
pose of maintaining monopoly in the
manufacture of necessity of life is
not within the scope of the Sherman
act and cannot be suppressed by the
federal courts. 1t is q popular error.
nursed by newspapers, to assert that
the encouragement of the United
States has control of corporations or
combinations which engage in manu-
facture in the various states. This is
entirely matter of state control"
President Mckinley appears to take
the same view of the present law as
does his attorney.general and ex-
advocate of trusts, for in his message
to congress he treats the trust ques-
tion as if there were no laws affecting
them, for he says that he feels con-
fdent congress will take "wise and
judicious action" on the question of
trusts.
But the supreme court brushes aside /.
the views of these two lnminaries, and |
says the law is operative. Whether it !
is far reaching enough to regulate all |
the com bines is a question, for there |
are trusts that will exist until the
tariff protecting them is wiped out,
but if Mr.. Griggs had vigorously prose-
cuted the trusts under this law, the
supreme court would evidently have
him in most cases, and there
would be fewer of them today hamper.
ing trade and depressing consumers.

every battle thus far they have inflicted
terrible punishment upon the British.
So accurate has been their fire and so
stubborn their resistance that the
English are surprised. They did not
believe any soldiers could withstand
their charges, but they have found the
Beers as impregnable as a stone wall.
When compelled to retreat they do SO
orderly and contest every foot of
ground they surrender.
This resistance is something the
English were unprepared for. It was
something they had not met for long
time. But it is not TO be WONDERED
at that the British were surprised, for
in recent years they have not been
pitted against people who were their
equals. They have been fighting in
ferior races in North Africa and
India semi-civilized class who would
discharge their weapons and then
run away. They have met inorganic
ed bands who were unaccustomed to
modern warfar, and have won what
appeared to be brilliant victories, but
which were similar to the slaughters
being wrought by American soldiers
in the Philippines. But when pitted
against the Dutch farmers of South
Africa they have found an enemy we'll
worthy of their best endeavors, a peo-
pie who are fighting for home, liberty
and justice. When pitted against
such people it will be shown, as has
been at Nickelsen's Neck and Storm
berg that the British soldier is not
nearly so dangerous as he has been
supposed. Great Britain is losing
much of its underserved credit OF be-
ing the most powerful military nation
on earth in this fight against the Beers,
and will cease to be terror to the
other governments who will be con-
yinced that they may successfully
twist the lions tail if the two little
South African republics with less
than 100000 people can hold out |
against the big bully.

The Oregonian now says country
that parts with its gold and gets some
thing in return is not made poorer or
in any way injured. This Is different
from the theory advanced by that
paper recently, that the free coinage of
silver would drive gold away, cause
silver to come in it's place, and there
by ruin the country. If we were to
part with our gold and get two dollars
in silver for every dollar that went
away THAT is "50-cent" silver dollars)
we fail to see wherein it would be
more detrimental than exchanging
our gold for merchandise.

LOSING PRESTIGE.

At the beginning of the war between
Great Britain and the Transvaal
President Kruger told the people that
the Lord would direct their bullets
and that right would prevail. Judging
from recent events it would seem that
the sturdy old Dutchmsn spoke with a
prophetic tongue. Either the Lord or
some very good marksmsn are direct
ing the bullets Of the Beers, for in

War has ever been an agency that
advanced the price OF farm products,
but the two great wars that are now
being conducted do not appear to have
very good effect on the price of
wheat-it still stays at As cents q
bushel. There must be something
radically wrong-either a combine
among buyers or scarcity of money
with which to buy.

69o idle capital in that bank alone.
In French & Co.'S. bank there is prob
ably q like amount of money belonging
to local depositors who find no prof.
table investment for it, thus allowing
some s350,0O0 to lye in banks earning
nothing for the owners or for the
banks.
With this amount of idle money
deposited In the banks it is folly to
say that The Dalles cannot afford to
engage In manufacturing. There is
sufficient capital here owned by resi-
dents of the town and county to
establish numerous enterprises, to give
employment to hundreds of people,
who in turn would become consumers
and furnish market for large
quantities of products raised by farm
ers that either goes to waste or is sold
at very small profit. The invest
ment of this idle capital would be a
benefit not only to the town and
country. but also to the owners. fit
were invested in some enterprise chat
paid dividends Of only 5percenta year,
it would be that much gain to the
owner. A wooden mill, canning es-
or numerous other indus
tries if properly conducted would
realize more than that rate on the in
vestment. Then why will not the
owners of this idle money seek invest
ments that will build up the town and |
also earn something for themselves?
What is the use of talking about
subsidies to induce foreign capital to
come here and invest so long as there
is plenty of money unoccupied owned
BY local people to set new industries
yoing? Let those whose money is
earning them nothing start something
yoing that will furnish employment
or their property, and they will not
,nly make money for themselves but
will build up the town and country.

There is an abundance of everything,
except it be money, in Wasco and
adjacent counties at present, and the
prospects are now favorable that there
will be tountiful harvests next season.
This should stimulate The Dalles to
put forth an effort to enlarge it's busi-
ness facilities or rather the facilities
for people to get here to trade. Rail-
roads and wagon roads leading into
the city will be help, and free
wagon bridge across the Columbia
would help wonderfully.
The vote on the currency bill will be
taken in the house next Monday. and
