The Times-Mountaine- is in receiptof a circular issued by the LewistonCommercial Club setting up the advantages to be gained and the benefits

that would occur from the opening of

the Columbia-rive- r to navigation aboveThe Dalles, or rather by the building

of a portage road around the r.piasKot.maAn Th Dalles and Uelilo. inecircular goes on to eay that a portageKilmTffliiibe "built for the modestappropriation of $250,000 in additionto the $200,000 still remaining of theimot nlloi nnnrnpriation. Wewnw iiiwn.j rr .

MilmittAthat fullv 30.000,000 bushelsof wheat will be affected by the cheap-

ening of transportation by such opening nf t.h river: at only five cents

- reduction per bushel in freight charges

this , would mean $1,500,000 per yearsayed to the Inland Empire, or more

than three times the cost of the pro-

posed portage road.Accompanying the circular is a

petition to congress to appropriate8450,000 for the immediate constructionof said portage road and equipping itfor operation, and urging congress-

men and senators from the Pacificcoast states to work for the appropria-

tion.The objects sought by the Lewiston

Commercial Club are commendable,

but the moans they would adopt arethose of a child. If the wheat raisersof the Inland Empire can saye $1,500,-00- 0

in freights in one year by tho con-

struction of a portage road that will

cost only $450,000, why should they call

on congress to help them.-- ' Why aou tthey cease to be dependent upon thegovernment? Why don't they build

the road themselves?It is a question whether the govern-

ment can build and operate railroadswithout an amendment to the constitu-

tion and if it could and congress werewilling to make the appropriation, Itwould require no less than five years

to get the appropriation bill through,secure the rights of way and constructthe road. In those five years thewheat raisers will lose $7,500,00 J.simpiy

because they are not enterprisingenough to go down in their pocketsand put up about one and one-ha- lf

cents a bushel on their grain crop ofone year to build a road that will gainthem five cents a bushel.

If the wheat farmers and merchantsof the Inland Empire haye not suf-

ficient enterprise about them to build, a little piece of road costing $450,000

that will save them $1,500,000 a yearon wheat and perhaps $500,000 a yearon other freight, they do not deserveany assistance from the government.Let them cease to be dependent andgo to work and build the road them-

selves. They can easily do it in a'year, whereas there is no tellinghow long it would take the govern- -

" ment to build the road, eyen ifcongress were willing to makethe appropriation which is de-

cidedly questionable. There is al-

ready a move on foot to build thisportage rord as a private enterprise,the Central Construction & NavigationCo. having taken the matter in hand,surveyed the route and we understandsecured the right of way. If theLewiston Commercial Club is realiy inearnest it will aid this company, or ifit is found to not be iu a position toconstruct the work, it 'will start a com-

pany that will, and not depend on congress for assistance. If the uppercountry people will cease to be dependent and go to work to help them'selves they may accomplish something,

HOW MONEY GOES ABROAD

An occasional failure of the harvestsin Great Britain, France and Switzerland is now made good by the appearance of a new harvest which is assteady as tbe traditional ice crop and

. granite crop in Maine, and whichdiffers from them only in its steadygrowth.

This is the crop of American tourists, which this year has broken therecord. The leading London touristagency estimates the European cropthis year at not less than 70,000 Americans who have yielded an averagereturn of 300, or $1,000, per tourist tothe European harvesters. In round

. numbers we may call the total 8100000,000 or a little bit more than tbevalue of Nebraska's 300,000,000 bushelcorn crop at 30 cents a bushel.

. In other words, this country contributes to Europe eyery year andchiefly to Great Britain nearlyenough to pay the charges on theBritish national debt or the cost ofBritish army, without any apparent

- diminution of our prosperity. WhatIs even more remakable is that ex-

posure to European influences doesnot seem to exercise any detrimentaleffect on the American tourists whogenerally return borne as loyal andpatriotic as when he went.

People with money to spend have aright to squander it wherever they seefit, bence there can be no means ofchecking the tide of tourists thatflock to Europe each year, except itbe by increasing national pride and adesire to keep wealth in our owncountry. People will go to Switzer-land to admire the scenery, whilethere is doubly fine scenery on thePacific coast. They go to Europe forthe benefit of society, that is to hobnob with titled nonentities whilethere should be and is tbe best societyand most cultured people here amongthe free and independent Americanswhere every man is the peer of allothers. But until our people realizethese facts, money will continuallydrift over to Europe each year at therate ot $100,000,000 in the pockets oftourists who bring nothing but experience and foolish notions back inreturn.

THE GOLD DEMOCRATS.

The gold democrats who considerthat thev are still democrats shouldponder over the following clippingand comment and see bow they areclaimed by tbe republicans and usedin furthering the ends of Mark Hanna:

The San Francisco Chronicle ironi-

cally says: "It is said tbe gold demo-

crats are going to bolt McKinley.

This is too bad. They gave him the

aid of 133,424 voles for Palmer in 1896,

out of a total vote of 13,923,378, and ifthey go back on him now what will hedo for frills on his majority?.

This fling at the gold democrats isyery much out of order. The Chron-icle must know that when one golddemocrat voted for Palmer, manyvoted directly for McKinley. It wasso all over the country. In spite ofMKinley'a good sized majority inOregon, he could scarcely have carriedit if all the gold democrats who votadfor him had voted for Palmer. Thegold democrats carried Kentucky,Indiana, Delaware, Maryland, and tbeChronicl's home state of Californiafor McKinley. Without them hecould not.have been elected. It wasonly here and there a scattering golddemocrat who voted for Palmer; them08toftbem and they were the menof most brains and influence in tbedemocratic party voted directly forMcKinley electors, as the surest way

to beat Bryan. What the gold demo-

crats will do iu 1900 cannot be accur-ately predicted. Some will vote forMcKinley again, and some willyotefor BryaD, but in what proportion isproblemetical. Telegram.

ADMIRAL DEWEY.

Tbe hero of Manila is again onAmerican soil, and after an absence of

nearly two years, during which timebe has risen from a uaval captain tothe highest rank known in the American navy, he has returtea to nis nativecountry to receive tbe blessings anaadmiration of bis fellow citizens.When be left American chores twenty-thre- e

months ap, Dewey wu9 knownonly as an ordinary naval officer, onewho had always done bis duty andperformed tbe acts devolving upon hisrank, whenever called upon. Outsideof bis immediate circles bis namewas scarcely heard of, except in tbeordinary way of his bavmg beentransferred from'one station to anotheror baying been promoted aiong toeusual lines. But iu that short timehe has risen in prominence, and todayhis name is referred to io all civilizedcountries.

His brilliant victory on May 1st,1898,has transformed tbU comparatively unknown captain to the greatestsea Gghter of the age.

That Dewey is possessed of twoqualities sense and darring nec-ssar- y

in a soldier, cannot be ques-lone-

and that is why he is now theforemost man of the nation. Hisability and genius is recognized byall, and besides he 'is ono of thosetrue men who aspire to be nothingmore than a faithful and worthy citizenof the United States, a man foremosin his chosen profession. While noAmerican should be a hero worshiper,all can do honor to the hero of Manila,and if more honor can be bestowedupon bim, other than those he hasearned, the American people are readyto bestow them. If Dewey wants officehe can have it for the asking, and if hecraves to be president, he has but tomake bis wants known, and this high-est of honors will be conferred uponhim

VALVE IN MONET.

Tbe East Oregonian expresses itsviews on money, and the legislating ofyalue into money1 in the followingmanner:

Many papers are trying to "point amoral and adorn a tale" by statingthat "paper money down in San Do-

mingo is worth two cents on the dol-

lar." Paper money is money thatwealth. Where there is no

wealth there is no value to papermoney. A government that has notitle to wealth, no standing, cannot is-

sue pajier money of yalue. But goldat times is without value ' also. Thereis a' case recorded where $10,000 ingold wa3 offered for a dead rat and re-

fused. A ship was wrecked and twomen found themselves afloat on a partof the wrecked vessel. Starvation wasbefore them. One man was possessedof a large sum in gold. The other dis-

covered a drowned rat. Tbe timecame when tbe man with the gold of-

fered it all for the rat. The offer wasrefused. Gold was without value atthe time, and its value at all times isto the extent that men can exchange itfor other things. If the governmentsof the civilized world would stop certifying to the yalue of gold, by ceasingto stamp it as money. Tbe metalwould lose much of its present value,to the advancement of the interests ofmankind. Only the interests of theprivileged, the potentates, the politicians, those in position and authorityand many of the professional classes,are benefited by a dollar whose pur-chasing power goes on' steadily in-

creasing from decade to decade. If apaper dollar was never issued, and apromise to pay was never made, andgold continued to have Its presentfavors from the government, condi-tions for the mass of men would beworse than they are at tbe presenttime. But, if gold were not coined in-

to money, simply stamped as to weightand fineness, leaving it to stand on itsown bind legs and thereby to establisha value for itself, there would be fewerpromises to pay issued and fewer stillnot redeemed, and paper money, theonly scientific money, would be issuedas required, to the multiplying of exchange of products between man andman. Progress and happiness amongtbe mass of men are very much cur-tailed by governments undertaking todeclare that one metal or two metals.which are only products have valueswhich the governments see fit to createby their action. In thus giving to acertain metal this fayor, privilegesand powers are transferred to a comparatively few men at the expense andsacrifice of the many, which in time,has the result of creating classes insociety, which afford evidences thatthe equalities that the laws of natureestablish are being interfered with, tothe overthrow of orderly governmentamong men. The first paternal act ofthe government was when gold andsilver was stamped as money and givenyalue that the producers of other products had to accept as measures ofvalue for their labor. A robbery of industry and enterprise under government supervision for tbe privilegedand the idln started then and is stillgoes on unabated and unchecked.

A STRANGE PARADOX.

It is doubtful that if the history ofpolitics presents a stranger paradoxthan the party of Lincoln, SewardSumner, Chase and Greeley, the partythat came into being as the fruit ofthe teachings of William Loyd Garrison, Wendell Philips, TheodoreParker and Lyman Beecher, the partythat scored its first triumph by elevating the immortal Lincoln to the Presidency, should now be conducting awar of subjugation and .conquestagainst the civilized Christian peoplein tbe island of Luzon and .through

bribery securing a treaty and takingunder the protection of our flag thesullanry of Sul-- ana becoming thoprotectors and defeuuert ot polygamy,slayery and piracy the lowest and thevilest of the governments of earth.

Again, the traditions of tbe republi-can party are one the lines of protec-tion to American labor and internaldevelopment and internal expansion.That this party should now,through subltrlutfe, misrepresentationa d deceit, be using the power of theUnited Slates government to aid tbeAnglo American China DevelopmentCompauy in tbe work ot exploitingtue Celestial Empire,' building rail-ways, introducing labor-savin- g ma-

chinery, and treciicg factories, tomake China the workshop of the worldis indeed the paradox of the ageslhat tnis work oi deceit and crimeagainst America and Americans shouldbepromoted by a president elected up-

on a protection platform, having re-

ceived tbe nomination because hisame was associated with a protective

measure, is calculated to go a long waytowards shaking tbe confidence ofmankind in tho professions of Ameri-can politicians and statesmen. Thepresident of the United States inusing tbe power of the government tofurther the schemes of an .internation-al combination of capital greater thanever was associated together for asingle purpose before, whose objectand purpose, it attained, will bringperhaps hundred j of millions to thesyndicate, but will expose the worldt the licuurgf-- of Chinese competitionin the manufiM.-iur- e of enruuvidities, isnow tlis moral sense t theAmerica! i.atioh, trunip:inr tlie Dec-

Oregon has attracted more atten-tion from the eastern people acdforeign travelers tbe past year thanever before in its history. Not evenin the boom times of ten years agowere there more visitors, investigatingthe resources and possibilities of thisstate, than- - during the past twelvemonths, many of them making ar-

rangements to come to this state forpermanent residence. Best of allamong the thousands of visitors havebeen a numtfer of United States sena-tors and members of congress. Mostof tbose gentlemen had never beenwest of the Rocky mountains beforeand were wholly unacquainted withthe needs and possibilities of tbestate. They were surprised at whattbey saw, and will hereafter, when theinterests of this state are in questionbe better prepared than before to actintelligently and to give fair considera-tion to tbe requests of this section.

A cablegram has been received attbe war department from Gen. Otisrelative to the American prisoners inthe hands of the insurgents, Otis saysthat General MacArthur has been ap-

proached by a prominent Filipino,who asked if he were willing to enterinto negotiations with Aguinaldo forthe release of prisoners held by thelatter. It is inferred that includedin the list of American prisoners towhom the negotiations relate is Lieut.Gilmoro and the fifteen men fromthe Yorktown who were captured bythe insurgents the east coast ofLuzon, Major Rockefeller, who wascaptured beyond tbe American linesshortly after his arrival in the Philip-pines, and about half a dozen privatesoldiers who have been reported asmissing.

The great boom in German indus-tries continues, and, apparently, thatcountry has recovered for the timebeing from the effects of the financialstringency which were manifest lastspring. A commercial report just re-

ceived from Germany enumerates sixteen hundred different projects whichwere started in the country during themonth of June. Of tbose three hundred were new railroad projects; seven-

ty-three electric roads, and twohundred and twelve factories. Ofthese factories forty-thre- e were forrailroad supplies; twenty for stoneworks; fourteen for textile branchesand ten for building industries.

IS THIS ALL?

Abuse and ridicule, backed up byan unlimited campaign fund in thebands of (he shrewd politician, won theelection for McKinley in 1896, and thesame means are being resorted to bytbe republican press in preparing forthe campaign, of 1900. They do not re-

sort to argument to support theirprinciple, but to abuse. Recognizingthat Bryan is almost certain to be tbedemocratic nominee taey have turnedibeir batteries of abuse on him. TheOregonian, which never was able toback up its positions wuli argumentunless it called its opponents fools,knaves and cranks, opens up its thun-der for 1900 as follows:

"Robert Treat Paine, who has beennominated by Bryanite democracy forgovernor of Massachusetts, is a richman. a lineal descendant of one of oldBoston's famous families. He hasblood, breeding, wealth and a Harvard-colleg- e

emulation; and yet he was oneof the very few democrats of largewealth and liberal scholastic educationwho threw up his hat for Bryan, freesilver and free riot in 1896. The ex-

planation of Mr. Payne's Bryanism isthat he is not what Bryan is a cons-

cious political quack, but a scholasticcrank. He is of the same breed ofpolitical closet naturalists to which be-

long, Professor Norton, MoortioldStorey, Erving Winslow, Carl Schurz,Edward Atkinson, William Lloyd Gar-

ions are rxnlaiiitu as part of the in- -

These men are all "fools" and'cranks" iu the ejes of the greatScott, yet he fails to disprove tr-ii- r

theories, and for lack of argument,heaps aoust upon their heads. Again

Is this all the argument the imperial-istic goli-rimme- Oregonian has to of-ie- r?

Can it not find something in thestatements of the silverites and

to refute? It seems not,else it would desist from abuse and re-

sort to statement of facts. It is in tbeposition of many other frail mindedpeople who have undertaken to sus-

However tbose who insist moststrongly that the Filipinos are an in-

ferior race and incapable of governingthemselves know little abont them andgo to no trouble whatever to informthemselves. Dewey has said that theFilipinos was more capable of self gov-

ernment than the Cubans, and eoldierswho haye returned from the islandsstate that the natives are a more intel-ligent and thrifty than the Chinese,who have been able to maintain agovernment for certuries. An Idahovolunteer, who was hero Wednesdayevening, said from his observations ofthe Filipinos he considered them equalto Asiatic races, people who hayetYtA nrdfnarv amount of understanding.and though Illiterate as a rule, there I

Some of tbeFilipinos have accumulated larga property intersts, and are shrewd businessmen, anything but tbe degraded, nomadic people whom the imperialistspaint them to be.

The World saya: "Mr. Bryan'ssecond speech on trusts, made at tbeChicago conference, in reply to MrCockran and to Mr. Foulke. displayedeven more fully than his set speech inthe morning his unequalled capacityfor popular leadership in the movement against monopoly."

It goes on to show wherein liesBryan's advantage over his opponentsand oyer all trust defenders: "He

that they are monopolies; thatthey are evils: that tbey can be reme-died; and he has remedies to propose.

"The people see the power of mon-

opolies; they feel the weight of theiroppressions; tbey read with alarmtbe marvelous growth trusts duringthe last two years; they note that,while there is a law for their controlno effort is made to enforce it; theyrecall that the president went to tbebanner trust state of the Union ' forbis attorney-genera- l; they know thesethings and little do ftbey care aooi tthe technicalities raised and tteevasions pleaded by the paid reoresentatiyes of unlawful monopoly."

Mr. Bryan is in earnest. He saysthat "if the people ae in earnest theycan break up monopoly." The peopleougnt to be in earnest and we believethey are. It is a feature of tbe sameold fight. It is tbe spirit of avariceclutching at the throat of the republic.It controls the monetary standard; itIs about to take control of the issuanceand circulation of paper money; it istrying to control the industrialenterprises of (be country. .

What an argument this is for di versified industry!The fruit has been destroyed and besides a few herbs and roots the nativesare without food.

While Hood river Islive place, and the. valley adjacenthereto is prolific, capable of producing and sustaining almost anything,it is doubtful if it will support twopapers. Sboan P.

Several of the leading railroad companies haye undertaken to do whatstate and .federal statutes have onlypartially accomplished, and that is theabolishment of the pass. This is acombination that might be properlystyled the anti pass trust and the object sought will meet with generalapproval of the fare-payin- g public,That is if the plan is carried out tological and equitable ends. There isno doubt that if the railroad could doaway with passes, the regular rates offare could be reduced, or at least theroads could afford to give occasionalreductions in fare that would inducemany persons to travel who are 'notable to do so now on account of theexpense. Few people realize howmany travel either with transportationfurnished absolutely free or at muchless cost than the regular fare.

Tbe attention which Oregon has received this year is due to the advertising she has received, mainly throughthe meeting of the National EditorialAssociation in this city. Yet thereare some people who do not think itpays to advertise. Hundreds of thous-ands of dollars have reached Oregonthis year through tourists that neverwould have come bad it not been forthe advertising, and that is not all, thetide of immigration has just begun toflow into our state, and men of meansand enterprise are arriving daily. Advertising is tbe only way to make thepublic know your wants and what youhave to give.' It pays every time.

EARL SANDER'S LECTURE.

A Large Crowd Listened to the YoungSoldier's Effort.

The lecture by Earl Sanders at tbecburcb last night was

listened to by a large number of tbeleading people in the city and wasthoroughly appreciated by everyone,

Mr. Sanders has a splendid deliveryand good powers so tnateven if his subject were not one ofsuch universal interest as was the oneon which he spoke. "Theand the Filipinos" bis talk would onaccount of its merits baye been dulvappreciated.

His comrades in Co. L, were out inuniform and acted as doorkeepers andushers as well as entertained the guestsby explaining the history of the largecollection of curios which were on exhibition.

The speaker gave a very fine description of the Oregon boys trip fromthe time they left home until they

MRS. GUYTON'S SUICIDE.

The Crime Wu Committed-Whil- In a Pitof Insanity.

Futher particulars about Mrs. W. F.Guyton drowning herself and twochildren in the Deschutes riyer wouldindicate that the woman was insanewhen she committed the horrible crimespoken of in yesterday's Mountaineer.

Mr. and Mrs. Guyton were on theirway to The Dalles from their home atKent, in Sherman Co., and stopped atMr. Harris' house near the free bridge.On the morning of tbe day on whichtbe crime was committed, Mrs. Guyton,without any particular cause, fell tobeating tbe youngest child verybrutally and was stopped by her husband who took the little one awayfrom her and kept it until her unprovoked wrath, which most probablywas a temporary attack of insanity,had abated.

Later in the day the children wereleft alone with their mother while, thefather was away attending to somebusiness. At about noon the Harrischildren beard a child crying in thedirection of the river and ran dowc tothe water edge to find that the unfortunate mother bad drowned thelittle girl about four years old and before aid could be summoned she succeeded in taking ber own life and thatof her infant son who was still In berarms when the body was removed fromthe stream.

As far as could be learned the coroners jury, 'which held an inquest yesterday morning found nothing thatwould throw any blame on any one orconnect them in any way with the sadoccurrance.

The fact that these gentlemen haveinterested themselves in these enter-prises is evidence that there is mon eyback of tbe town of Shaniko, which Isone of the requisite things to put itgoing. And the fact that such a num-ber of Dalles capitalists are takinghold of it, is also evidence that tbeyare convinced that the trade of thecountry south of here is lost to TheDalles. However, these gentlemenwhile tbey are investing extensively inShaniko, have not lost interest in TbeDalles, but will put their energies tomove The Dalles along by creatingnew industries so that it will notsuffer from tbe loss of tbe trade of tbecountry to tbe south.

The Wind Kiyer Batchery.The almon hatchery at the mouth

of Wind river, six miles aU"e theCascade Locks, for which 'congressappropriated $15,000, begins to pre-sent a very interesting and lively as-

pect. The work is being superintended by B. Fallert. Eight weeks, agothere was not a stick of timber on theground. The hatchery, now Is 40x60feet, and which will be extended In1900 to 40x100 feet, is completed. Itspresent capacity is 10,000,000 eggs.

Tbe first eggs were placed in tbehatchery 'September 14, and Mr,Fallert has on hand at present about2,000,000. Salmon are very plentifulat this point, and Mr. Falleat is making about three catches a day. '

Hehas already two leads or traps in Windriver and contemplates putting inanother immediately. The river iswell supplied with great boulders,therefore making it very difficult touse nets to tbe best advantage otherwise possible, but if Mr. Fallert con-

tinues to gratify his propensity forblasting he' will- - ere long remove atleast tbe greater of tbe many obstaclescow in tbe way.
