Israed Ivery Thursday Moraine by TheG Publishing Co. A3 J W UU f Editor and I Business Manajrer. CORVALLIS, OREGON. AUG. 27,3896. BRYAN OR McKINLEY. Bryan plays at statesmanship. He poses and strikes attitudes. His is the eloquence of the elocu tionist and actor; he appeals to our fancy, our lighter emotions. . He chatters before the public to $ie music of brass bands, looks pic turesque and orates pleasingly, He is a student of effects not of facts; he is a .stage-statesman, this boy orator of the Platte. McKinley is a man, strong and earnest. He is a thinker, a rea soner. lie resorts to no artificial expedients: he addresses himself to our comprehension, not our impressions. His simplicity is his strength. His personal charm is due to his purity of character. He has steadily grown into the affections of the American peo ple; he did not flash before them like a meteor. Soundness and truth are the characteristics of this man from Ohio. These are the two candidates for president of our nation. Whom will we choose, the actor dr the statesman ? Shall we obey the persuasion of our idle imag inings, our fleeting impressions, or the promptings of our sober practical senses? Will we select! to preside over the destinies of j the mightiest nation on earth at this critical time, the boy of the Platte, or the man from Ohio? Senator John H. Mitchell has hosts of friends among republi cans, democrats and populists. They know he is earnest and able and devoted to the interest of the .great state of Oregon. Senator Mitchell returned to Oregon Monday and announces that in a few days he will begin an active canvass of the state for McKinley. While this does not come as a surprise, for. Senator Mitchell has always been a true and loyal re publican, the mere fact that so strong a man is leading the fight, will put vimjand force into repub lican workers and. jwill -insure Oregon for McKinley by one of the old time, majorities. People of Oregon have the same confi dence in Senator Mitchell as had the senators in Washington, when gold republican senators and sil ver republican senators entrusted to him the responsible and deli cate duty of arranging the com mittees of the senate at ' the last session. Jonathan Bourne has ten dered his resignation as secretary of the republican state central committee, and Judge O. N. Den ny has been appointed -to fill the vacancy. Mr. Bourne wisely and justly refused to retire upon the demands of a certain faction and it is well for the party that he did so. Judge Denny is a life' long and consistent republican and will make a capable, ener getic secretary. Bryan is called the boy orator of the Platte. Why? Senator Poraker ays it is because the Platte is a thousand miles long and six inches deep. The sena tor is wrong and should not give publicity to such slanderous ut terances. Bryan is called the boy orator of the Platte because the Platte, like all rivers, is much larger at the mouth than at the head. Chicago correspondent to New York bun: Wiry not answer Brvan thus: "You shall not skin mankind with a knife of silver, nor fill the stomach of honest la bor with windy promises which, like the apples of the shores of the Dead Sea, are fair and lovely outwardly, but dust and ashes .within." The Manchester Union (dem.) in view of Altgeld's denying that he wants to be attorney general, suggests that he may have an ambition to be the supreme court. The Mexican Herald costs sub scribers in Mexico $12; in this country $7. That is a pretty fair proof of the value of a deprecia ted currency. ... ... The "crown of thorns" pressed on the brow of labor by the gold standard resulted in an advance of wages of 60 per cent from 1870 to 1890. ... W. A. Wells will operate Philomath, Wren and Blodgett warehouses "tile ensuing year, as well as the CauthonY warehouse in Corvallis. Storage on oats 2 cents per PERTINENT COMPARISONS. I appeal to history and to contemporary facts, which no man can dispute, that every free coinage country is on a silver basis. Isn't that so? (Cries of "Yes.") I make another statement for you to think of, for I shall not here elaborate it I am going to get to the figures pretty soon: Every gold country uses gold and silver for money in amounts nearly equal. Isn't that so? (Cries of fFrance? (Voices: 'Yes.") I make and cool reflection that no silver-standard country has any gold nrbney as currency whatever. (Applause.) Don't take my word for it. Go and investigate this subject. I say that no silver country has any gold whatever as currency, and you can search fron Mexico to Cape Horn to find that this statement is correct. Within the last two years Chili and Venezuela have been preparing, so the news papers state, to suspend or limit the coinage of silver, and to coin gold. Another statement, and I make it upon a sense of responsi bility, after an exhaustive examination of statistics, investigation and records, that in every silver-standard country wages are pressed down to the minimum of wretched subsistence. It is so in Mexico; it is so in Japan; it is so in South America. I say that in every silver country, wages are pressed down to the very minimum of wretched subsistence. (Applause.) Senator Davis, of Minnesota. THE TENOR OF THEIR THOUGHTS. The words so kindly spoken by Professor Lehr you will remem- ber were not thought of since the nomination. He is one of the original Bryan men. When I was here a year ago, he was a Bryan man. I think he wanted you to become acquainted with me, so if you wanted a postoflice you would know where to come to get one. I am not distributing postoffices yet, but I hope to be before long. Mr. Bryan, at Ada, Ohio. HIS DISSOLVING BRAVERY. When you come before us and tell us that we shall disturb your business interests, we reply that you have disturbed, our business interests.

The man who asks the republican party to abandon the tariff 1 question invites it to commit suicide. - On what issue was the great democratic majority in the house of representitives that passed the Wilson bill overturned to a republican majority ? On what issue was every republican state that went astray in 1892 led back in later elections to the fold of republicanism ? On what issue were democratic states like New Jersey, Maryland and Kentucky torn from the democratic grasp? On what issue was Major McKinley nominated at St Louis ? Was protection? Have not the farmers, workingmen, business men- all classes of citizens testified the last three years that the only hope of the country lay in a pro tective tariff bill, to be passed by the next congress and signed by the next president ? Did not all republicans enlist at St Louis under the flag of protection? New Yofk Press. From Our Exchanges. The Galveston News bolts the Chicago ticket and declares that to label it democracy, is as bad as putting a whisky label on a bottle of benzine; and 'while the simile it distinctively Texan, it is good nough in its way to be appreciated even in this neck of the woods. Politics make ' strange bedfel lows. Just think of Bryan, who, according to populist stump speak ers, represents one of the rotten old parties, and Watson, who has been purified out of that same party, running on the same ticket, both nominated by the populists, whose every query is: "Can any good come out of either of the old parties ?" Indeed one may safely say politics make itrange bedfel lows. Oregon Mist. Ex-Senator John J. Ingalls, of Kansas, has opened the campaign in support of McKinley and Ho bart. Though Ingalls has been con sidered as shaky on republicanism for a few years past, and has been quoted by populists as favorable to them, Mr. Ingalls perceives Ins way clear to choose between rank democracy and its ally, populism, and republicanism. Lie sees that with all its faults the republican party, is preferable to this unholy combine. Plaindealer. When the "dollar of our dad dies" was first coined in 1792, they another statement for your calm I believe that it is a good deal better to open up the mills of the United States to the labor of America than to open the mints of the United States to the silver of the world. Win. at Canton, Ohio. McKinley, Citizens of New York, I have traveled from the center of the continent to the seaboard that I might, in the very beginning of the campaign, bring you greeting from the people of the west and south and assure ;you that their intention is not to destroy but to build up. Bryan in his accept ing speech at New York. may be, and I would rather fol not all this done for the sake of with their votes in the elections of simply accepted the ratio between gold and silver, which in that year was 15 to 1. The gold eagle contained 247 graihs of pure gold and 22 grains of alloy. A dollar contained 37 1 of pure silver and 44J grains of al loy." That was an honest dollar. It would sell foi 100 cents, and would buy goods anywhere in the world. To follow the example of the fathers we should now, in coin ing money, adopt the commercial ratio of the year 1896, which is 32 to 1. That would be an honest dollar, inconvenient perhaps, but it would be straight, and it would go anywhere, representing a it would good value. The silver men demand a coinage at 16 to 1; and profess to believe that a light weight dollar can be kept eqnal to gold. But Sir Thomas Gresham's law which has held good for two centuries, says: "When two sorts of coin are current in the same na tion, of like values by denomina tion, but not intrinsically i. e., in market value that-which has the least value will be current, and the other, as much as possible, will be hoarded or melted down or export ed." Gold would soon disappear, and the purchasing power of silver would drop to its market value, and distress follow in its wake. Linn Item.

He presented his credentials at the gate and wa3 admitted. "Welcome to the golden streets-of the New Jerusalem," said St. Peter. "What proportion of your -'pavement is silver ?" asked - the free silverite. "Silver Mh't in it," ' answered St. Peter, "heaven is on a. gold basis." 'Then I'll bolt," said the'new arri val, and St.'Peter let' him out. The football season will soon open, and the verbal strife between football cranks .and anti-football cranks, will be a relief from silver disputations. The O. A. C. regents should have employed the money they have voted for an elocution ist, in advancing football. Noth ing developes the voice like an exciting gam 3 of football. It dis counts a populist convention. Anti-football cranks are a con scientious tribe of critics. They are determined to speak under standing. It would be dishonest to denounce so earnestly, anything, as Ihey do football, without posi tive personal proof of its evil na ture. So you may see them at every game storing up evidence. Sometimes they grow so indignant at some especially rough move ment, that they actually yell and throw up their hats. Don't imag ine that the man who makes it a point to denounce football is speak ing from ignorance; he knows all about the game. The present American silver dol lar is the dollar of the people, for the government coins'it on its own account from its own bullion, and the people are the government. It contains but 53 cents worth of sil ver, and yet it goes for a dollar. Of course it does, for this is an honest solvent nation. Its parity, as a circulating medium, with gold is maintained by the wise and pa triotic course of the administra tion. There is no statute law guid ing it, only the unwritten law that prompts safe, honest dealings. Free coiners propose that the government shall turn its mints over to the owners of silver bul lion, and let them coin all the sil ver dollars they wish, at the ratio of 16 to 1, t lie government, or the people of the United States, pay ing all expenses. , The dollar will still be worth 53 cents, as at pres ent, but i-t will not be" the govern ment's dollar, and the private coin ers will be under no compulsion to maintain its parity. f Free silver at 16 to 1, means in short, legal ized counterfeiting. Alsea Jottings. T. J. Childs went to Corvallis Monday on business. Mr. T. J. Eisley started Friday evening to Monmouth on business. Rev. W. B. McGee and family started to their home in Sodaville, Saturday. The weather is very warm; everybody is too warm to be com fortabable. ' Tell Henry Seits that he thesh ed last Monday and it did not rain as he predicted. W. J. Howell started to Corval lis Monday with a load of wheat for milling purposes. A. L.

Orange has been harvesting his hay, and seein ( hi girl and inhaling the salt air from old ocean. J ' . The people are beginning to feel a little more hopeful as the great er portion of the grain in Alsea has been threshed, mid it has not rained yet. A party of Corvallis people spent several days hast week camp ing 611 the farm of Mr. R. M. Web ster. They seemed to enjoy themselves greatly. We are told that M. J. Howell and family are- going to move to Corvallis in a - short time. They, expect, to move in time for the boys. Henry and Keith, to start to school when the fall term begins. Charles Barkley, one of our much esteemed young men. left Alsea Monday for Idaho. While we regret to see him leave, we wish him erery success, and the hearty good wishes of all his many friends follow him! Jas. Boles and family will move to Alsea bay this week.

McGree had been our pastor for the past year. It was an error in our pen, not our heart; he was our pastor five years ago. Mrs. Sallie Tharp is on a visit to her parents, Mr. and Mrs. Mulone, also to her sister. Mrs. Marion liny den, and her many friends join her relatives in bidding her welcome to the home of her girlhood. Mrs. Tharp is loved by all who know her. Mr. Jas. Spencer met with quite a painful accident Friday morning while binding a load of straw on his wagon. He was fastening the I rope when the binding pole broke, allowing Mr. S. to tail to the ground head first, striking upon his head and shoulders. No bones were broken, but Mr. Spencer is not able to work at this writing. Old Innocence. Weather is hot. . No wonder it is. Free silver monopolizes conver sation, and has robbed the weather of its birthright. Our grain is not turning out very well. It will not furnish more than fifteen bushels per acre. But wait till Bryan is elected. He will have the government declare a ratio of 50 to J . At least he ought to. Farmers need more help than the silver barons. Don't think I'll wait. I'll vote for McKinley and a home market. . John Henry says he is a good republican. Undoubtedly. He voted for Whitaker, Rickard, Walters,- Bryan and Dixon. He is sup porting, or rather leaning against., Bryan and weil I don't know which of the forks he takes. Now if he would denounce Abraham Lincoln and cry for free trade, wouldn't he be a brass-bound mod el of a republican ? V Are there no general merchan dise stores in Corvallis? The other day my daughter wished some goods she could .not get n Alsea. S'ie looked in. the Gazette, but outside of Young of Albany, she found advertised only gents goods, saloons, groceries, etc. She doesh't wear bloomers; she doesn't drink whisky, and I buy the groceries, so she sent to Albany. Wouldn't a general merchandise store pay in Corvallis ? - Isaac. Wells Items. Mrs. James Tomlinson has been visiting friends around Wells this week. Mr. and Mrs. Jas.
