raE STATE AND COUNTY TICKETS

The Republican National Con-
vention has nothing to do with
the formation of the local Repu-
blican tickets in this State. Ii
the Union Republicans mean
what they say, a desire for a fair
division of that ticket, then it
can be elected. It remains with
the Union Republicans to join in
a victory or to assume defeat as
they have done in the past.
Their efforts to force their way
by a half open door, into the
Philadelphia Convention, is des-
peration to them, to others it is
ridiculous. 1t is a final effort fo1
recognition of Addicks. A few
weeks since a Kent County Off

knowledged to the writer that il
Addicks does not succeed this
time, the November election,
they will form a Peoples Party,
two years hence. And he be-
lieves it.

THE MAY CENTURY,

Among the timelier articles in The Cen
tury for May Is an essay by Andrew Car
negia entitled Popular Illusions About
Trusts" The writer contends that the
popular welfare is increased by trusts; also,
that such aggregations of productive capi-
tal are usually short-lived. "The only
people who have reason to fear trusts, ," he
says, "are those who trust them" An edi.
torial in the same number entitled THE
Real Danger of Trusts" while agreeing
with Mr.. Carnegie as to the material advan-
tages of such combinations, sets forth
wherein they are menace to the indepen-
denes OF the individual and the state.

Western Wool Values,

Valley Oregon wool has seen some pecu
liar price fuctuation during the past de
cade. During 1890 to 1892 it was bought il
Salem at an average of 20 cents per pound
ranging from is to 81 cents.
From 1898 to 1896 it averaged 104 cents
the actual price paid by Salem firm being
10 cents in 1898, 1895 and 1896, and II cents
in 1894.
In 1897, Valley Oregon wool began to
pick up in price, selling at 13 cents. In
1898 and 1899 it did even better, being
placed at 16 cents. The same finn that
bought at these figures expects to pay 20
cents for the same grade of wool this year.
IfOregon farmers will consider the econ
omic conditions that existed when they got
the low and the high prices for their wool,
they will readily understand that the pro-
tective tariff and Republican administra-
tions of 1890 to 1892, and 1897 to 1900, were
by far the best for the American sheep
grower.
Oregon farmers don't want free wool.
Bryan says: II am for free WOOL" There
lore the Oregon farmers don't want Bryan
or President or any representative in
either branch of Congress who will vote on
Bryan's side or run on Bryan's ticket,

WASHINGTON, APRIL %, 1900.
The newest mares nest discovered
by the democrats VAS like all the rest,
empty. The Bacon resolution, adopt
ed by the Senate, asking f3r informa'
tion as to extra compensation for army
officers serving in Cuba, will be fully
answered by Secretary Root at once.
It was based on the charge that army
officers in Cuba were drawing two sal
aries, one from this government and
one from the Cuban revenues, and were
expending money extrsvagantly for ex-
penses. The charge was entirely false.
No officer in Cuba has ever drawn two
salaries. Away tack when Secretary
Alger was at the head of the War De-
partment, under an opinion from the
Attorney General, four officers-the
Military Governor of Cuba, The Mill
tary Governor of Havana, the Collec-

Cuba-were allotted allowances to meet
expenses entailed upon them by reason
of their filling those positions, aggregat.
