SENATOlt MITCHELL
by his day's rest and careful groining
At a first-class hotel had so muchie
covered the use of his voice as to
speak wltli gjoat clearness nnd force.
He was Accorded 11 ruo3t cordial recep
tion, and when the cheering subsided
he proceeded In an easy, graceful and
jtnpressive manner.
The declaration that twenty-four
years ago today he was olooteq qs a
senator In the congress of the United
States, met with -slight applause.
Marion county representatives had
stood solidly by him then, and he
would be an ingrate if lie did not re
fer to it now. All who then lived had
pnssflf ayjy c'ejjt RuftifrMrilinry of
Portland. Jio referred to other ujd.
timers, all gone.
lie had spoken to twenty gatherings
and In many campaign since 1800, but
had never seen a campaign when tho
people were so aroused as this year.
No house could hold the people that
assembled anywhere and there was a
pressure of public sentiment that was
simply tremendous. It was signifi
cant of great results.
He predicted a grcaf. yiptory fpr
McKlnley iiiisoypnroer both m the
nation and in Oregon. Bryan had nut
mentioned the money question four
years ago. He had talked tariff only
then. Silver was not mentioned.
A few ambitious men had formed
this Issue of free silver for the pur
pose of getting into ollice, and for no
other purpose. Tho Populists and
their allies were not sincerely for sil
ver. He would not retrace one btep ho
had ever taken In behalf of silver in
the senate of the United States. He
would not evade the nioney question.
He would meet It fairly and squarely,
But- the other questions were far
more Important. The tariff was one
of these. The senator now went back
to before the formation of the repub
lic, when tlie constitution whs first,
being thought Of, and Infant In
dustries were successful In
ting the first tariff bill passed 107
years ago. That bill was signed by
George Washington, the greatest
American who ever lived. Great
Applause, The tariff act of 1842 was
here held up for eulogy, and a Bryan
baby strove hard to divert the audl
ence from paying too close attention
to the senator's persuasive eloquence.
The Polk and Dallas campaign was
well fought over. Tho senator ex
coriated that miserable man Dallas,
who In 1840 voted for the revenue
tariff that lasted for 14 years. Few
nations or Individuals could live and
prosper If they bought more than
they sold. The balance of trade
made us prosperous. When a nation
imports it is
had always upheld Us organization.
He would do so as long as he drew the
bieath of lire. Ho would ask the old
soldiers, who shouldered their mus
kets In time of war, to stand "by the
grand old party that had grappled
with the greatest rebellion known In
history. At the end of the rebellion
the nation had a debt, pt three billion
dollars. The Republican party In 28
years had paid off twojthlrds of that
debt, and the Interest was reduced
fom-tifths. Interest was 12 percent
under Buchanan, Lincoln reduced It
to 7 percent, and huder Harrison It
was reduced to 2 percent. He would
now appeal to Republicans who were
wavering In their loyalty to this great
party of the past, and who were lit
danger of being led offby one wing of
the Democratic party Ho made a
very feeling and Intensely pathetic
plea with these erring and wayward
brothers to return.
The Republican party had raised
every dollar or our currency to be as
good as every dollar as gold.
A veice: "Who Jelled the 40-cent
greenbacks"'
Mitchell: "Thoy were Issued out of
the stern necessities of war, and mado
as good as the best money In the
world. " (Great cheering.)
Q. "Did they make-up the 40 cents
on the dollar they paid, the soldiers?"
Mr. Mitchell did noU reply to this,
but eulogized the party Instead.
He now read the flhance plank of
the Republican platform and told
what he understood to bo the mean
ing of the plntformt nu'd gave his In
terpretation of the platform. Wasn't
that fair? If tliafeWtaiVt fair, lot
any one get up and Ray so? Tho party 1
Had been misrepresented by certain
parties, among them his friend Mr.
Horer of Tub Journal. What had
tho democratic party' oyer done for
silver? ,
A few years ago th term "sound
money" would have Oieant nothing.
Never in Its history mad the repub
lican party advocated the alcghj gold,
standard, 'llo was sorry to ndmit that
we had- today the single gold stand
ard. But we had to admit that we
had today the single gold stnndard.
And until we could get tho bimetallic
standard ho was IpTfaror t waln
(Mining tho existing tfpld standard,. "
But In two years It had gained
great meaning. It was not found In,
the dictionary. It meant whatever
money we have must be equivalent to
par. Would any onq object to having
thatkiudof mono&bGlcepiibllcaii.
party had mat eycry sldllllF as good
as gold. TI1OS0 who believe In lude
pendent bimetallism do not bellevo In
debasing our currency,
Whother It wan right or wrong, tho
Republican party does believe that In
dependent free coinage will debase
our currency, and there Is no comma
or period after the denunciation of
free coinage, "except by International
agreement." That was an exception
n favprof free eplnagp.
The llopubllcan party was pledged
to free colnago of silver by Inter
national agreement, by consent of the
leading commercial nations ofEuropc.
Mr. McKlnley said he was pledged to
promote international agreement.
That was the declaration of the Re
publican party. It wimted the bi
metallic platform. It wanted some
thing better than tho single gold
standard. The party was pledged to
being that about. "If anyone thinks
I have misinterpreted the platform I
would like to have him get up and eny
sp," said the senator- ?fo one ques
tioned his Ingenious device to explain
his position.
Here a man asked him thlsqucstlen:
"If we elect McKlnley, will he not
hayo to Issue bonds to maintain tho
gold standard Just as Cleveland did?"
"Within a year after McKlnley is
get-1 elected wc will have an agreement
with other nations and have free
coinage."
"How about the railroad to Mars?"
Cheers and appjause.
"lam coming down tuthat now,"
Here he repeated his statements
that he only referred to tho absurdity
of such a thing under the Cleveland
administration.
Ho closed this by showing that on
March 17th last Great Britain had
given Indication by passing two reso
lutions In parliament declaring that
the Instability of the prices of the
two metals us a measure of values
was so ureat that they urged the
house of lords to help bring about the
free coinage of gold and silver.
After strenuous and frantic wuvlng
Klnley, nnd tho morning paper says
"the house arose, enmasse." The
truth can be attested by hundreds
present, that not fully one-half arose,
and among those who stood up were
women and children. Tho Heritage
Glco Club then came forward and sang
a number of thrilling campaign songs.
The boys wcro cheered and cheered
again. "All Gold," "AH Gold,"
"Gold, Gold, Gold!" The close was
very appropriate.
All Quiet at Leadville.
Leadville, Colo., Sept. 29. No
change In the strike situation has
been reported. There have been no
fresh disturbances. The miners'
Union at the meeting "Wednesday
night will probably take definite ac

gressively. The mine operators are
determined notto grant tho demand
for a tin I form settle of $3 a day for all
men. They also declare that thoy
will not employ the loaders of tho
strike.

union, it Is reported, was wounded In
tho tight at tho Emmctt urine eight
days ago, and has been under the doc
