all combine to fight for supplying an al- most infinitely increased demand for pro- ducts.
 Foreign trade cannot be won by a people which consents to put itself into the leading strings of second childhood It cannot become the heritage of manu- facturers who must be paid bounty in order that they can mulct their own countrymen. It is not to be won by sell ing at home at prohibitive prices, which check consumption and thus lessen pro- duction, merely that products made by the same workmen in the same factories may be sold with freight paid, thousands of miles away, for a fifth, quarter or a third less.
 I've are approaching the parting of the ways. Either we want, as we certainly need, a foreign trade in articles honestly made by honest and industrious work men. as the result of steady and lucrative I employment, and honestly sold in all mar kets, or we may look forward to a time not remote when only a fraction of our existing machinery and powers of produc- ton can be utilized and when idieness and demoralization must of necessity come as the effect of our own short sighted policy
 Llmi. of Productive Power.
 Tn due time our farmers who now furnish so arge a proportion of our ex- ports will either reach the limit of pro- duetiye power, or our own population will consume what the country can grow. What, then, win become of our delusive balance of trade? Where, then, will our artisans find remunerative employment ? What, then, will it matter how prudent our investors may be? When other peo- ples have taken great economic steps how shall we arrange industrial handicap and meet our responsibilities to our own people?
 What we need to do Is to cultivate foreign markets for manufacturing pro- ducts, thus enabling our mills to run to their full capacity, thereby securing steady employment for our workmen. That policy was suggested in that last and glorious speech of Mr.. Mckinley which has troubled the "standpaters' ever since.
 Its development requires that import ed raw material received by our manu- facturers shall have the most favorable terms, and It demands that we shall cul- tivate agreeable relations with all for eign countries
 It has been very great pleasure to greet so many thousands of ardent dem- ocrats boastIng once more a united party You, with the multitude of staunch men composing the party in this state, are to be warmly congratulated. We'll you may be proud. You have vigorous, har- monious and enthusiastic organization.

It would scarcely become me In speaking before an audience of business men, more than to ask the question whether or not in their opinion every legitimate business in the country was not promoted and enlarged by the lecetlon and subsequent admins tration of Grover Cleveland He enforced economy, he settled great disputed ques- tions, and he admin4s. cred the government with an honesty and courage than which nothing in all history could be more pos itive or distinctive.
 We now hear again the same old story that the business interests of the coun- try cannot be entrusted to the keeping of one-half of it's people, and that their chosen representative whoever he may be, is the nemy of thrift and indus try.
 And that cry wells up from the threats of men whose interest it Is to preserve un-
 touched the statutes which permit them
 to collect tribute from the people, or who
 are interested in combinations organized
 to prevent competition.
 Why You Are Interested. You, who are business men are here tonight and those whom you represent have not thus shown an interest In poll 1 tics because you thing there is some thing in it for you or because you are | the benificiarics of favors granted by | law, or because you desire legislation which will turn taxes from the govern ment treasury in which they properly be- long and put them into your pockets. You do not seek to gather at the expense | of your neighbors gains which you have not worked for and earned. You only seek the reward of your labor, and that | because you-have earned 1t.

WEEKLY CROP BULLETIN.
Rains Have Been Of Great Benefit to
Farm Produets.

The droughty condition that has pre-
vailed throughout the state during the
last three months was partially re-
iieved during the latter part Of the
week by good showers, which fell In
nearly all districts. While the rains
were generally insufficient to place the
soil In condition for plowIng, they clear
ed the atmosphere of smoke, started
grass on the ranges and pastures and
revived all vegetation. They came too
late. however. to be of much benefit to
corn and potatoes. Light frost occurred
one one or two mornings in scattered
portions Of the Willamette valley,
slightly damaging late potatoes, toma-
toes and tender vegetables.
Thrashing will be completed In east
ern oregon In a week or 10 days The
yields continue below the average, but
the quality is good.
Seeding on summer fallow Ii pro-
crossing nicely In the western section.
In the Columbia river valley fall seed
ing Is doing well, and the rains come
in good season to insure an even stand.
Corn cutting has begun, and In the
dairy districts silos are being filed.
In southern Oregon the third crop Of
alfalfa has been secured in good cons
ditlon. In the eastern counties the
rains interrupted work in the fields
and there Is considerable yet to be
cut. Potato digging continues, with
small yields as rule. In some Of the
coast counties and in scattered local.
tiles of eastern Oregon an average
crop viii be secured, but the total yield
will be below average.
Prune picking and drying is well un-
der way; the yield of this fruit is very
light, but the quality is good. Late
apples are dropping more than usual.
but still promise an abundant yield.

THE JAPANESE DOUBT
POSSIBILITIES OF WAR
c. M. Cooke Returns From the Orient and Says
Consensus of Opinion Was Against Hos
tiIites---Pary Enjoyed Pleasant Trip.

War is believed to be remote pos
sibility in Japan, despite the constant
ly increasing reports of war prepare
tions. Such was the opinion Mr.. &. NJ.
Cooke obtained in Japan, and such is
also the belief of officers on the Amer
lea Maru. Mr.. Cooke with his wife
and daughter, Miss Alice Cooke, return
ed on the America Maru Saturday even
ing, all of them highly pleased with
their trip. The intended journey
the party turned back at Hongkong.
I'VE left Honolulu in the. China on
October 3rd," said Mr.. Cooke yesterday,
"and had a pleasant voyage to Yokoha-
ma, where We enjoyed the novelty of
the city and especially the rickisha.
We were much impressed with the fine
hotels and buildings in Yokohama.
From there we went to Toxic, and as
tourists generally do, visited the Sheba
temple. We also visited the Maple
Club house and the chrysanthemum
shows, which We're then just opening.
We were of course much impressed, as
all are. with these temples and we
were much interested in what we saw
concerning them. In our journey we
were much impressed with the industry
OF the people especially, in their Gull
tivation of land. One thing that inter
ested US very much in our visits to the
parks, was the meeting with parties
of scholars who were being conducted
about by their teachers, receiving in
structions at the same time. in the
chrysanthemum shows are representa-
lions of historical figures. which serve
as object lessons for lectures by the
teachers. We also saw a great deal of
the amusements of the people in the
public parks. The parks are beautiful
ly wooded and a great deal has been
done in the way of preservation of old
trees.\
I'VE next went to Nikko, where
though it may not be known to many,
the sacred bridge was washed away
about year or SO ago. This was the
famous bridge over which General
Grant refused TO walk. though permits
