Republican Decay.

The Portland Oregonian, the leading

dependence of the Republican party.

kind, but are actuated merely by self

Of Oregon, with it's publicly disgraced

cumstances about the same lack Of

and work to continue the Republican
party in power? To do so is to agree
to be plucked like geese without
squawking. The Republican party in
Oregon, as elsewhere, must be in a
bad way and tottering to its fall. ia
foundations have become rotten.

In order to have eight rooms you
need a house about this size, which
is % by 81 feet, exclusive of the
porches. 1t is about as near square
as you can have it, and work to ad-
vantage in laying out the rooms. You
can't take a square house and mark
out a square room in each r the

and the difference is caused by the
application of natural laws and the

AS soon as air is heated it begins
to move about. A warm current of
air goes up and it d~isplaces cooler air,
which must come down to find room.
This causes circulation which eyens

PROSPERITY OF TIT FARMERS.


Argentina Is one of the greatest
competitors of the American wheat
farmer and the harvest Is beginning
there. 1t is reported that the weather
Is unfavorable, and in consequence
the price Of wheat in the United
States has advanced five cents, or more,
a bushel in the past week or two.
Thus we see how the American farm
ers are entirely dependent upon ma
ture, both here and in foreign climes,
and how slightly can man-made laws
aid those dependent upon the soil.
Yet the Republican party has at
tempted for years to deceive the farm
duty of % cents a bushel On wheat
and a similar tariff duty on other farm
products, except cotton, produced by
Democrats and darkeys who were not
considered of enough political impor-
lance to even make the pretense OF
protecting. Although cotton was
placed on the free list, the cotton
growers have not complained, for
their common sense has taught them
that late springs, or early frost, too
much rain. or drought, or the boil
weevil are not controlled by the Re-
publican party, however omnipotent
it boasts itself to be. Nor have the
cotton growers suffered by this lack
of Republican protection, for thinks
to their own labors and the average
good seasons the crops have been gen.
orally favorable and the price fairly re
munerarive.
But when the other side of the
ledger is examined it is at once seen
what a great increase in expenditures
has ONE about since the present tar
if law was enacted ten years ago
The average increase in the price OF
all the farmer buys is close upon so
per cent, and nearly every article is
protected by the tariff, which has fos-
tered a trust or combine with the OBJ
ject of eliminating competition. The
tariff having virtually abolished com
petition from abroad, the trusts by
combination have been able to abolish
1t at home.
If the Democrats had been united
on financial and other policies this
plundering policy of protection would
long since have been discarded, for
nothing but Democratic divisions has
kept the Republican party in power.
The recent panic shows that Repub-
lican policies are unsafe and unsound,
and that Democratic unity is neces.
sary to relieve the distress that such
policies have brought on the Ameri.
can people. Honest Republicans, like
honest Democrats, are helpless to eff
feet necessary reforms, without the
aid of a united Democracy. The ma
jority that controls the Republican
party is welded to it's idols, the trusts
and corporations. and must, at least,
suffer a period of loss of power that
1t may have the opportunity to throw
off the political %barnacles that now
infest it. Therefore, let all Democrats
work and pray for unity In the party,
without which there can be no reform.

Come Home with Queer Catch.

A Breton fishing town-Concar-
neau-has had a novel experience of
it's own. One of it's trawl boats, the
Saint Louis, has just returned to port
not with the heavy cargo of sardines
that all the good folk so much de-
sired, but with a catch of an entirely
unwonted and unwelcome kind. This
took the form of a monster fish meas
uring not less than Is feet in length.
The fish is one of the pilgrim" kind
and is associated with the shark fam
ily. though said to be less ~ferocious
than the ordinary shark, though, as
the monster is very rarely seen, little
is known of him. The incident has no
parallel within living Breton memory.

American Shipping Policy.

Under Republican policies and legis'
lation our merchant marine has been
driven from the seas. The American
consul at Hull, England, officially re
ports to the state department that:
Among the $4,000 or more ships that
have entered the Humber river ports
during the last seven years there
has only been one ship of American
register" This striking evidence OF
the decay of American shipping, with
foreign countries must be the result
of bad laws. The only remedy pro.
posed for the past ten years by the
Republicans is the ship-subsidy or the
postal subsidy, which would merely
tax the people for a few big ship
owners. Tariff reform and a revision
of our navigation laws is what Is
needed, but such would antagonize the
trusts and combinations that control
the Republican leaders.
