Special to the Daily Leader.
Washington, D. c., July 1.-THE re-
port Of the government statistician of
the department of agricultural will
show the average condition of cotton
on July /, 1898, 91,2. A the cores
ponding date in 1898 at 10 year aver
age of 81 9. The condition in the
the principal states is reported as fol-
lLws: North Carolina SO; South Caro-
lima 70; Georgia "A; Florida "a; Ala
bama 70; Mississippi GA; Louisiana 81
Teqas 70; Arkansaa rs; Tennessee 76;
Oklahoma 50: Indian Territory 96.
While there was some improvement
during June In North Carolina, Texas
Oklahoma and Indian Territory
amounting 81 and ~ points respect
fully. There was decrease Of 8
points in South Carolina, in Louis
ana, 10 in Tennessee, 13 In Alabama
and % in Miss sisippi. With the excep-
ton of North Carolina where the aver
age condition on July l was points
above the mean of the July average in
that state for the last ten years, and
Indian Territory where the figures
available for comparison cover only
three years.
The condition throughout the entire
cotton belt compares unfavorably with
the ten year average, Louisiana being
z, South Carolina and Texas 10, Ark
ansas II, Tennessee IL, Georgia l3, AL
ALBANIA is. and Mississippi "a points
below their respective ten year aver
ages. Not only was the condition on
July l for the cotton region as a whole
the lowest July condition on record
but in Georgia, Florida, Alabama and
Mississippi it was the lowest in the en-
tire period of thirty-four years for
which records are available. While
in Tennessee it was the lowest with
one exception and in South Carolina
Texas and Arkansas the lowest, with
two exceptions, in the same period OF
thirty-four years. Excessiv rain
drowning out the crop and followed
by an extraordinary growth of grass
and weeds are reported from almost
every state, and the gravity Of the sit
uation is greatly increased by the gen
eral scarcity of labor. In South Caro-

Of the commission is silent in that
connection. that a portion of the funds
on hand are required to meet the next
interest charge, and perhaps another
portion really represents the sinking
fund accumulation for the series of
bonds next maturing. These are mat
tiers upon which the commission might
well be more clear in its statements
But the main point in the communica-
ton is the suggestion that bonds for
an electric light plant might be sold
largely to cur own home investors.
This is an idea on the right track.
There is enough idle money in the
banks Of Astoria. as shown by their
published statements, to build and
equip the city lighting plant without
borrowing a dollar from the outside.

ing nations; the question OF our chance
to participate In that battle and its
victory is the question upon which the
people must decide next campaign.
Organism says we must stay out OF
that commercial contest; that we must
leave to England, to Germany, to Rus.
sia, to France, and to other lesser ma
tions Of the old World ;he division
Of the fruits Of that victory, Repub-
licanism says We are entitled to be the
first nation at that bouatiful table,
that Dewey's guns at Manila; that the
blood OF many Of the best young men
Of the Nation have procured us a
seat at the very head OF that table and
that we owe It to ourselves, our chill
dren and their children to set in and
occupy it withou; delay The repuhli-
can party demands that the Philippine
rebellion shall be crushed, order re-
stored and our authority acknowledged
in Luzon and throughout all the Phil
ippine islands. The republican party
demands that these rich islands. shall
b. retained and the rich trade OF their
people and the millions adjacent. liv-
ing almost within sight OF the flag that
Dewey uufolded, shall be enjoyed by
our people. The republican party
SAYS 1t will pay to retain these islands
Not alone for their great wealth, but
for the far greater wealth that their
position win enable us to command.
Organism says give up those islands,
haul down our flag. retire our soldiers,
leave any nation that chooses to go
in and reap the great commercial ad-
vantage of Dewey's victory in putting
an end to Spain's mediasval reign. The
republican party says hold on to the
islands, enter into this widest door
opened by their possession in the
worlds trade; that commerce is the
greatest agent Of peace. the greatest
enemy Of war. the greatest force for
the advancement Of civilization. Bry-
anism says these are base and sordld
arguments, and that no party holding
them is fit to guide the destinles Of the
Nation. Republicanism stands for seiz-
are Of the greatest commercial oppor-
tunities ever presented to any nation;
Bryanism says give mp those oppor-
-unities. This is the issue-the exten- |
sion Of our commerce is the paramount
ssue of the campaign. And upon this

The paramount issue in the oncoming
national campaign-an issue for or
against which every vote cast in ore
gon in June will be counted directly
or indirectly, one way or the olher-
is not free silver or the trust or the
multitude Of other secondary questions
with which the democrats will bait
their irag-net in the hope to capture
the weak and ignorant Of all classes
The people who make issues have their
attention directed to the Philippine
islands. They have shifted the briny
waters Of the sea. The great com
mercial battle that is to be fought in
the Orient is the Issue; the question

battle and reap the fruits Of a victory
