Wanes are In a chaotic condition, and so many liborercrs are seeking employment, that the employer in many instances takes an undue advantage of the ap plicant and forces him down to stnr Tatiou wiiKes. G-IIow Is that, the applicant don't have to take Just anything that Is offertd.docs he? S-Woll, I tell you when a man's clilldret. are crying for bread and con tracting dlseaso for want of baro necessities, he will seize even a pit tance like a drowning man will catch at straws. fl-Are all laboring men in that condition now? S No, there are few, comparatively tew, who have about tho same old wages and salaries that prevailed In good times and high prices. G-Do you want those people to comedown with the great mass of laborers and work for starvation ages too ? S-Wliyno, we want to got tho wgesof all laborers raised up In pro portion to thoso who have not been cut down. G-O, I see; but how have these few rou speak of managed to retain their M salaries and wages?

Mr. Ford should notice that accord ing to the Statesman tho balance of trade In favor of our country under the Wilson bill for the year ending June 00,1805 was $130,031,880. W. W. Martin has a good object lesson, In his wlndow.of the way this government has legislated half the value out of silver. By the same act nearly all other products of the earth have been placed on that basis. Bryan's election means a death uui io iiicsiiio ui wuicrcu block sc- curltles on every. American franchise, (llwl llftl nlnnllitn nl.'.i iihuiiih tint ti blow to the sale of watered stock so- nnd his election also means tho pro tection of every man who invests a dollar In an American enterprise. English commercial papers say that free coinage of sliver by tho United States would ruin England s foreign trade and build up Unit of this coun try. Will the verdict In November be: "God save the Queen?". If free sllyer will keep out foreign capital, as Its opponents assert, and thus keep us from running recklessly into debt It might prove a great bless ing to the country. America should be developed by Americans, that tho profits of our enterprises may bo kept at homo. Ex. A new-comer recently wanted to know what about the money question In politics. Tin: Jouukal man ad vised him to talk with his brother farmers. After another week ho re ported dlscourugingly that ho could learn only about ono side among the farmers, for they were all for silver. In one of the "tony" saloons of As toria,tlicy disli up a silver and gold drink. One Is a silver llzz," tho other a "golden slipper." Tho ilrst Is gin with tho white of an egg shaken up In It. The other Is tho yolk of an egg shaken with tho drink. Tho regular blmetalllst drink Is probably the whole egg In ono drink. Tlicro Is a man In Portland who reads nothing but the Orcgonlau. He Is so radical that he will not even keep a speckled hen, but they must all be gold colored. Th.o only galling thing Is he objects to tho white being on the Inside of the shell. Ho cats only tho yolks. If frco colnago of silver will make "tifty cent dollars," a certain Salem editor had better Immediately cancel his obligation with the poor painter, who has received nothing for paint ing that gentleman's house. Ho may bo obliged to liquidate tho debt by paying two of his very precious (nnd apparently scarco) sliver pieces whore ono will now answer tho purpose. . A gentleman who recently had occa sion to visit tho Wamlc.Waplnltl and the Oak Grove countries and comlnglo with the farmers In thoso localities, says that In conversation with some 300 of them he only found about 25 who were favoroablo to tho gold standard. This Is nt tho ratio of 12 to l.ulmost fulfilling tho statement of an exchaugo that tho farmers of Oregon wero 10 to 1 In favor of free coinage. Times Mountaineer.

TUB IUTTSHURa KECKITION. As tho train nearcdtho" city last evening, traveling through tho hand some residence districts, tho dwellers In nearly all of the beautiful homes were In their doors waving their handkerchiefs. The meeting In this city has proven a fitting capsheaf of tho day's triumphs. It has excited the amaze ment of tho people of Tlttsburg, and tho Joy thnt It has afforded Mr. Bryan and the redoubtnblo "Silver Dick" has manifested Itself In their beam ing features since they struck tho city limits. Tho exceptionally long train on tho Pcunsylvahla Central through which It. was almost Impos sible to traverse during tho last hun dred miles because of tho numerous committees und enthusiasts who had boarded, and ran Into tho Pittsburg dopot at 0:30 p. m. It was Immedi ately surrounded by acres of frantic people. When Mr. Bryan emerged from the trnln, In spite of the efforts of tho lingo local commlttco to carry out Its local program, tho crowd closed In around linn, and It wns n. free-for-all-light from that tlmo on, for every person In tho Brynn party, except Mr. and Mrs. Bryan nnd Mr. Mrs. Bland. When they entered their carriages the relentless throng closed around .them and seemed to bear them along with It. Along tho various streets traveled, no avallablo space could bo discerned. Every foot of ground along tho way was occupied by tho 'enthusiasts. While Mr. and Mrs. Bryan wero sup ping with a committee of ladles nnd gentlemen the streets resounded with tho contlnuousclamor from tho thous ands of throats. Many marching clubs pierced the stubborn crowd iiund showers of pyrotechnics and a roar that would have rivalled Niagara's thunders. Tho evening meeting had been an nounced to occur at 8 o'clock In the Grand opera house and the Avenue theater halls, side by side, and under tho same ownership. Each hall will seat between 2."00 and 3000, nnd meet ings were to bo held In each. Long be fore the hour for opening the doors the entire street in front of these structures was packed full along tho entire block, and after the doors had liecn opened and the structures were tilled, the crowd outside had suffered little apparent diminution. When Mr. and Mrs. Bryan and mom bers of their party rode around from the hotel and entered tho Ilrst hall, both of tho auditoriums were packed to their full standing-room capacity, and It Is said that half who applied had not been admitted. r TUB SPEECHES. Bryan spoke to the mass of human ity amid tho most constant cnthsul usiii. Speaking on the St. Louis plat form he said: "I care not what your past party connections may have been. Party Is but an Instrument by which tho citi zen serves his country. You tell mo you owe something to your party; 1 tell you that your party owes a higher duty to you than you can owe to It. (Great'Appause.) I would not say n word that would lesson tho esteem which any of yon may have for tho achievements of tho party to which you havo belonged, but 1 say that such parties cannot live upon thepast. Parties must face the present. Parties must be prepared to meet and bolvc overy Issuo as It arises and tho party that does not cam enough to meet an Issuo Is not great enough for tho United Stntcs. (Great applause.) Parties do not make Issues; Issues make and uumako parties. (Great applause and cries of "Right you nre.l") An Issuo has arisen; It was rorccd upon this people. For '20 years It has been growing, and during tho last thrco years Its growth has been moro rapid than In any three years before. This Issuo was presented to the American people. Tho Republicans met In convention. It had Its opportunity. Whon Abra ham Lincoln was tho Idol of tho Re publican party tho party was willing to tho Issues of tho day. Applause Tho Republican party at St. Louis was not willing to mcot tho great Issues of tho day. Applause. The pcoplo woro suffering from u gold standard. Tho leaders of that party knew It. In the platform they de clared that the gold standard Is u bad thing, becauso they said they wanted to got rid of It ns soon as they could. Applause. If any Republican tells you that tho gold standard Is a good thing, tell hlm to look at his platform lApplauso and laughter. Ills plat form says that tho Republican party will substitute bimetallism for gold monometallism whomever souio other nation will help us do It. Applauso and Laughter. I havo said, and I expect to keep on saying,', that thoro arc two questions that will drlvo tho Repnbllcan party from tho Held. Tho Ilrst Is, If tho gold standard Is a good thing, why not keep It? If It Is a bad thing, why should we keep It? Great Applause. "If It Is a good thing, why try to get other nations to help us to deny to our peoplo the bcnellts of It ? Ap plause. lfl t Is a.bad thing; whodares to say that tho pcoplo of this country shall suffer from a bad thing? Ap plause. "Now my friends 1 did not Intend to make a speech. Cries of 'Go on; go.' I must stop now." A voice Tell us ubout 10 to 1. "Now, Just ono word more. I heard pcoplo talk about tho grand advan tage It would bo If wo had tho frco coinage laws so that men could go out and buy silver for 50 cents and havo It coined Into 100 cents, and make the difference. I have known men to spend tlmo speculating upon how much could be made under such a system. "Now, whenever ono person can avail himself of free coinage, every body can, and If everybody can do that, I cannot for the life of iuobco where tho profit Is going to be. I cannot sco who Is going to Mil silver for less than what he can get It coined for, but yet there arc peoplo who arc speculating as to tho amount that may bo made at buying it at half price." Applause. A yolceWouldn't tho sliver mine owners have a monopoly? Bryan Tho mine owners nro tho only people who produco sliver, Just ns tho gold mlncowners nro tho only people who produco gold. Tremen dous applause and great cheering. The silver, when produced, Is of no uso to the man .who produces It until he cither exchanges It for money or converts lt Into money for his own use, and the moment ho brings that silver from the mine and converts It Into money, that money Is In uso to buy tho commodities produced by the tollers or this country. Applause. And until tho money Is brought Into existence, there Is nothing to buy things which pcoplo produce. There fore, when wo legislate to prevent money coming Into existence, wo leg islate against the interest of those who have muscle to sell or products to sell, and cannot sell them until there Is money to buy them. Applause. And now you must pardon mo for going Into this subject at all. I did not intend to do It, but tho eagerness of this audience and tho nttoutlon which they havo given has tempted mo beyond my power to resist. Per mit me hero to thank you for the kindly greetings which you havo ex tended, and to thank you for tho In terest which you manifest. Great applause. Thurston's Lie Nailed. Denveii, Aug. 0. Tho Rocky Mountain News recently sent to tho leading mining and smelting men of tho country a letter dated August 1, a copy of which follews: "Wo prcsumo you have noticed Son ntor Thurston's statement that 'the Bonanza silver mlno owners havo mnlntulncd extensive bureaus with corps of speakers and writers and that W. J. Bryan has been In receipt ot a diary from them for somo years. Kindly reply to tho following ques tiens: ' "Do you know of any such bureau or organization of mlncowners or per sons Interested In mining. "Do you bellovo It Is or ever hns been In oxlstcnco? "Do you know of Mr. Bryan over re ceiving salary or any other remunera tion for advocating bimetallism? "Hayo you over heard It charged or Intimated that Mr. Bryan rccolvcd such remuneration, or do you know of any possible foundation for such a chnrgc? "A prompt uuswor will oblige." Replies havo been recolved from 17 prominent mining men Including J. J. Hagerman, Ebcn Smith, Simon Guggenheim, S. A. Joseph!, Dennis Shcedy and Byron E. Shear, till of whom deny tho existence of any bureau or organization of sllvcr-mlno ownerH for tho purpose alleged by Mr. Thurston, and denounce ns it false hood tho statement that Mr. Bryan has over received a salary or any re muneration whatever from them for advocating tho silver cause.
