ships to come from Great Britain with
manufactured products, to bring from
France French champaign and French
kid gloves or other products, while our
wheat is not getting any assistance
from any quarter. (Applause.)
It may be that our iron and steel in
dustries need nursing, but when a year
ago they were able to lay pig iron down
in Mobile for 81, it would not look as
though they needed much governmental
care at the present prices of $18 to $40.
But your product is not selling for any
higher price because it is not so scarce
as it was then, it is more plentiful even,
perhaps. If your product becomes
scarcer, it will be higher in price.
There is another condition involved in
the bill, which we are told is to be rail-
roaded through. For a steamer which
will steam IA knots per hour, the bounty
will be l cent per ton per 100 miles,
while for vessel steaming 21 knots per
hour it will be 2.3 cents per 100 miles,
Now fast Atlantic liners like the Lucan-
la or the Campania, equipped with ma
chinery of 10000 horse power, can make
21 knots, where with $500 horse power
they could make IA knots. That is to
say, they could make two-thirds the
speed with one-fourth the power. It is
the last knot or two that costs the
money. Then, too, the measured capac-
ity of one of the fast liners, at 40 cubic
feet to the ton, might be $4,000 tons,
but they could not carry more than
$500 tons to save their lives, yet under
this bill it would earn a bounty on an
average of $1,000 a day. If we want to
help our export trade why not pay the
bounty

carried; certified out on customs certifi-
Gates, and the tonnage being identified
by consular agents. We would thus pay
for the new market created, but to pass
bill in the interest of the farmer to
pay bounties for fast liners making 20

If you carry it to Europe for nothing
you merely reduce it's price that much.

1slature in my state should elect me
to be my own successor in the senate,
after the Populist vagaries I have here
toforc pretended to entertain, should
have been condoned by the national
Democracy. Bryan can look after Ken
tucky, and assist in establishing, il nec-
esssary, few skunk farms to counter
act the sickening odor Of Goebelism,
for now that we are engaged in the
business OF making reliable Democratic
states,' the end will justify tho mears,
no matter how disreputable. Since my
coming to view the situation from my
present standpoint, the Gocbel election
law, the Louisiana grandpap law, the
Mississippi and South Carolina constitu-
tions that disfranchisc the people who
first elected me to the senate, are very
necessary adjuncts to the game / am
trying to play in Bryan's back yard. It
is true that I have heretofore wrote
some severe structures on these infa-
nous measures, but they were pinching
me then. Consistency was never a
boasted virtue among other great men,
and why should l worry myself over it,
especially since all my former as
sociates know that the word honesty
is not to he found in my political vo-
cabulary. Yes! I'm for an intelligent
vote now, and the intelligence of the
voter is to be determined under the
Simmons-G -Goebel rule, by the alacrity
with which he approves the Bryan
Butler combination.
"Oh! ye earnest idiots, who strove
to institute real reforms and improve
the condition of the masses, behold
how thankless and fruitless the labor
In which you have been engaged! You
trusted me and gave me the power to
thwart your honest efforts to improve
conditions. and l did it to promote my
own selfish ends. Oh! ye credulous
fools, what better had ye the right to
expect, and why continue to prate about
the welfare of the people and the good
Of the country and the future glory of
the republic? Don't you comprehend
that gentlemen of my statue are mas
ters Of the situation, and with us, The
people be ID
ut is the sordid ambition of polite
ians of my class and calibre, not the
country's good that is to be subserved,

itself until we are more comfortably
Axed."

AT Yaquina, Or, April I, 1900, of
cerebro-spiual meningitis, o. c..

A. c. Coffin of Cottage Grove, two

the bereaved wife and children have
the earnest sympathy of all.
Mr.. Coffin was taken i'll on
Wednesday evening of last week, :,
Immediately after attending the
funeral of his son Vearl, and died
at 3 o'clock Sunday morning. Ov-

Baker City, Or, March 26, 1900.
Editor LEADER Il have some news |
will inform my friends through your
paper. This winter has been one of the
finest ever known to white man. Cattle
men have turned out their stock cattle
on the low hills, for the snow is only on
the high mountains at this time. 1t is
all of two months earlier spring than
usual. Carter q Miller shipped two car
loads OF beef steers to Seattle. There
several buyers of sheep here. The stock
cattle look fine. Baker valley was once
lake, it is almost round and thirteen
miles across, and last year it cut one
hundred thousand tons of hay. The
cattle, sheep and horses that are here are
immense, they eat 900 tons of hay per
day. 1t is raining in the valley and
showing in the mountains. The mining
capitalists are turned to this section of
the mines. They Want no Klondike or
Cape Nome, for Baker county is the
place. Already the prospectors are in
the mountains trying to fine the yellow
metal. had the opportunity of seeing
one wheelbarrow load of quartz that had
$500 worth of gold in it, and it was float
at that. lam going pocket hunting soon.
Some pockets have been found here
ranging in value from $50 up to 100000.
Sumpter has been booming all fall and
part of the winter; but it will go down
The pneumonia is very bad here. There
have been thirty deaths from that disease
and only four cases out of 400 have died
from smallpox in this section OF the
country. Hay hands will be scarce, but
mine hands will be over run this season.
Look out for large sales OF quartz mines
and big strikes. The copper mines are
in their infancy yet. Copper Butte,
lying north OF Powder river, has become
noted for its rich ore. OF copper so per
cent. is the last strike. Wishing the
LEADER success, remain,
