Should such a policy be decreed the consequences to the country would be dismaL The credit of the . na tion, the welfare of the people, the hopes for the future, are all involved in the settlement of this question. . Free coinage of silver cannot be defended from any logical standpoint. A large amount of silver is carried in circulation because , the govern . ment ! carries, a greater amount of gold in which the silver, should it be desired could be redeemed. . The amdunt of bullion in a silver dollar, at the commercial ratio, approxi ' innt.iv fifi.v rants, and should silver be coined via, unlimited quantities, the purchasing power would sink to 'the commercial value and it would $ake- two dollars to buy what now ?an be obtained for one. The cred , itor to whom; 4 debt of fifty dollars ; is due would receive but twenty five, a nd . the countiy. . would soon sink to an ultra silver basis. The debtor . class might reap a . temnorarv. advantage, but the fruits l rf : CJ would, bo bitter as further invest- ' i B ' , j a UJCIJV VL. nuuiu j v 'tw vi uuv. , business stagnation result, to which ' the present stringency would be in significant - in comparison. The .American people maintain a standard of living higher than anv other na- . , O . n s tion. ; Under silver monometalism it ..would be brought to, the level of Mexico. . - The present campaign must be " Ann ft rA iiAnfiAn ' Tf i a fVia ? 1 1 f vr rf V1JC JL tUUVMVlVUl , Xw A a VUV UUUJ VI every' voter to inform himself as best ue luay, anu ne.x.i nureuuer ueuiuc whether he shall vote to overturn all : honest - conditions and -throw the nation into a chaos from which it i T V !t Jl will take years to extricate it.

" . 4 ft . , sr j ' 1 tr Ask the ; sheeD irrower -whose wool lies unsold in the warehouses wLethe the Republican platform is too severe upon this free tradeadministration Ask the manufacturer whose' mills are closed and whose market is taken a way by cheap fore ign i m porta tion, Ask the laboring man vainly seeking work. Ask these and many more who have seen their belongings swept away if every word in the Re publican pfatform upon this point is not true. We are not afraid of their answer. ' ' THE, GOLD STANDARD: The fact cannot be too often re oea ted that the declaration of the i 1 Renublican' nartv iD favor, of the " gold standard , simply , means the maintenance of a thing that already exists.; It is the free silver people, says the Globe Democrat, who pro- pose to make a change and establish anew standard, inev arc against the Dresent currency system, a'nd anxious: to substitute for ii one un iler'which. a different kind of money would be used for the payment of debts and wages and the transaction- of the country's business. ' The Re pnblicans believe in keeping things as ther are in tnat respect. J.naw; is to sav," they hold that we now have sound and satisfactory money, and that it would be foolish and dis astrous to throw away this advan tage. It is not proposed to eliminate silver from the currency and prevent its use for commercial purposes, but only to so limit the amount of it that it can circulate freely at parwitn gold. Any intelligent voter can readily comprehend the distinction and the reason for making it. We have absorbed as mnch silver as we can , carry with safety, and the Re publicans are opposed to an increase of it that would inevitably unsettle values, depreciate the currency, and force. us at an inferior standard. It is not true, as the free silver orators practically assert, that the Republican party is seeking to make gold the only form of money in the country. On the contrary, it mere ly insists that other forms of money shall be kept as good as gold. There should be no objection to that from any man who has the prosperity and welfare of the country at heart. There cannot be two standards of value at the same time, and the Re publicans contend that the one which . now - exists, and ' which is known to be safe, should not be ex changed for ore that would be un safe add in every way mischievous. The silver element now in the cur rency is. freely accepted because it is on a parity with gold, and the1 Re publicans wish to continue it in ser vice on that basis; but they are against the free and unlimited coin age of it because that would dcstioy the parity and flood the country with a depreciated circulation. It is not a question of dispensing with the use of silver, but of adapting the volume of it to the conditions which govern its value. ,The limit of safety in the coinage of such money . has been reached, and the Republican party says that we should have no more of it when the result would certainly be a stupendous misfortune. That is what is meant, and all that is meant, by ( the maintenance of a gold stand ard. : - The Oregonian has not given much attention of late to the tariff question, but it speaks out now and then To. show it is all right on this great issue. It would be hard to overestimate the work the Oregonian is doing for the cause of sound money. ' It is presenting facts and arguments to the people of Oregon that cannot . help ; but hold . this state in the Republican ranks. We are glad to see it striking, home on protection as it did . yesterday in saying: - ,. The people of Oregon and Wash ington - want resonable protection, equitably distributed ; therefore will not forget that protection is an issue in the presidential election. - The Democratic tariff ,1 scheme bow m force is unfair. 'It protects the East and South at the expense of ' the West and North. There , is no de mand . for ; a . prohibitive tariff, but there is a demand, and a just one, that, so. long as protection shall have any. place in our system; equity shall not be disregarded in the application of it. THE TYPICAL' .AMERICAN: : The second act io the presidential drama has been played, and McKm ley has felt his proudest moment. The notification committee has per formed its pleasant mission and told the Ohio '. statesman of the honor he has received. Every - day brings new assurances of . the satisfaction with which the nomiuatiou of Mc Kinley is received. East and West, North and South; even from the bolting silver states, are heard the shouts of ratification of the coaveu- tion's work. . , ' : "V The more McKinlev s lire is biouitht out in detail, the more the people lenrn that his character de serve' all lue encomiums that have been heaped upon it. ' He is a brave soldier, a wise statesman, a patriotic citizen, a model husband. His life has been representative ' of what every, ( American snoma attempt. The efforts of partisan traducers to belittle the name of McKinley will fail, as they should, because of their untruthfulness. , McKinley is a typ ical American, and " in this day of distrust throughout the land he is just the man who can win "the confi dence of all classes. It is not McKinlcy's fame as a Statesman, his record as a soldier, nor his keenness as a politician that al together makes him the hero of the day. , His home life, his character as man and a citizen, are among his chief recommendations. Like that Other Ohio- statesman, to whom his tory has never given proper doe the eminent man who occupied the presidential chair for only four vears. out who save to tne nation one of its best administrations Rutherford B. Hayes, McKinley will enter upon hia office unimpeachable in character and lacking nothing in qualification. Truly he Ss "A Typ ical American."" Had U not been for the action of the silver senators m defeating the emergency tariff .bill, there now would be hundreds of thousands of dollars 4he proceeds fiem wool sales in active circulation in The Dalles Good authority states that the passage of this bill would have made a difference in the price this season of from three to five cents. .Multiplying 6,000,000 pounds, a fair estimate of the wool in our ware houses,, by either one of these figures and you get what Teller and his crowd have cost The Dalles; and we are but a drop in the bucket com pared with the- rest of he countryj The action of the silver gang shows he exteme limit of selfishness Should such men have any standing before the" country ? The report which comes , from Portland that several . members of the First Regiment have lost em ployment "because they answered the summons calling them to Astcria, should attract attention throughout the state. It is generally considered the First ; Regiment did ' effective work in bringing . a peaceful solution to the fishermen's strike. . The 'pres ence of armed men was a prevailing argument against any acts of vio lence which may have been con templated Such being the fact, the action of Portland business men in discharging employes who answered the call of duty is reprehensible in the extreme. There- is too little re gard foi law and authority, and when once the majesty of the law has been upheld, all good citizens should rejoice in the result. The militia boys were not called upon to shoot or kill and more's the rejoic ing thereof but there is little doubt but that they would have done what duty demanded. , The names of the Portland men who have discharged militia iren should be made public so the people 'may have a chance to see what kind of creatures they are, It is a safe k assumption they are closely allied in thought and feeling to the men who fired on Sumter.1 .

A Trip Oo7i tba River Ever to Be B- ' 1 membred. , .The Elks had a great, time Saturday aigbt upon the occasion of the first ex cursion given by . the lodge of, this city. The Regulator, which' left her dock at :30, carried 150 happy excursionists, who made tbe quiet banks ot the Colum bia re-echo their merry laughter.- The cabins 'were beautifully decorated with evergreen, from bunches of which pro truded two magnificent specimens of elk heads. From " the . ceiling hong a representation of a clock with the hands pointing to the hour of 11 a time foil of meaning to all good Elks. ."' , ' ; Upon the lower deck a canvas had been stretched which afforded an oppor tunitv'for the Elks and (heir friends to enjoy dancing. ' Delightful, music was rendered by-Prof. Birgfeld, Mr. Peterson and Miss Newman, n At Lyle a stop' was made for nearly an hour, after which the steamer drifted slowly down the river for several miles. Tbe moon had by this time rieen in fall glory and the' scene, was undescribably poetic. When :. weary of dancing, the merry makers gathered in email- groups upon tbe deck and listened to story tell ing, sang rollicking songs and watched the lights and shadows upon the moun tains, through which the Columbia works itsway to the sea. Delicious refreshments were served upon the boat and everything possible was done by tbe officers and crew to make tbe event unusually pleasant. Capt. Waud, Officer ' Alden and Steward' Rofeno and his assistants were untiring in their efforts td please. - The committee of Elks who had tbe excursion in charge were J. S. Fish, R Lonsdale and G. W. Phelps, and tbe time and attention they devoted were rewarded by the 'unequalled success of the evening. Cascade Lodge of Elks is a new insti tution in The Dalles, but its roster roll contains tbe names of our best citizens and its meeting nights are largely at tended and prove most, bd joy able events. The Elks will soon move into the mag nificent K. of P. hall in tbeVogt block, where they will entertain their friends on numerous occasions.' NARHOWLY ESCAPED DROWNING The Wife of Ediward , Z,eoard Drifts ' '.. . . Underneth si Scow. Mrs. Ha. Leonard bad a very narrow escape from death by (drowning Satur day, andthe lives of her child, and two ofiher laches were- also endangered They were-all in a saoall boat, with Mr. Leonard aad attempted to cross io front of the wood scow "Flyer," owned by Mr. J. T. Peters, which : with saris Bet was slowly going ur stream. The little boat got too close to tbe scow and Mr Leonard lost control of it. It drifted up against the scow, and. the powerfal sue tion of tbe current had a tendency to draw it underneath. By main force Mr Leonard held the boat as long as he could, while the ladies commenced to elamber out on board the scow. The small boat was rapidly filling, however, and when all were out but Mrs. Leonard, he was compelled-to loose his hold by reason of the terrible pressure. The boat and its oeeupant floated directly underneath the scow, but the boat mir aculously remained upright, with - Mrs. Leonard lying down along th bottom. A. small boat from tbe scow was hur riedly lowered and chase given to- the drifting boat.' It was overhauled about a half mile below the scow, about a mile down the river from The Dalles. . When found Mrs. Leonard was still conscious, butber lungs were filled' with water. aiter laboring with her some time she was fully resuscitated. -. Belra Hogae'a Body Found. About midday Saturday Louis Neil, who had made a trip to his ranch, which is situated some six and one-half miles down the river, found the body of young Belva Hogne, who was drowned on Tuesday, June 16, near the water's edge, in a very decomposed state. . He lifted the body from the river and immediately procured a vehicle and bad it conveyed to the morgue. The boy capnot be recognized and the mother, though some what relieved at bis body haying been recovered, refuses to be fully reconciled. Tbe boy's father has not yet been com municated with and ii, consequently, still in ignorance of the family's lose. The funeral took place from the morgue at 9 o'clock Sunday - morning. Pendle ton Tribune. Spanish Outrage. An American citizen writing . to a friend at Key West, Florida, gives an account of outrages perpetrated on Cu ban women who obeyed, Weyler's order, requiring them to pieeent themselves at the Spanish forts and camps. He was an eye-wi tness of one of the outrages. Recently, Senora Martinez and her 15-year-old daughter appeared at a Spanish camp. After addressing' insulting re marks to them, the officer in command tore the clothing from the girl and ex posed her to the soldiers. Then at the point of the boyonet, the nude girl was forced to march in front of the column of troops. To escape -dishonor by the Spaniards, hundreds of ' Cuban women are joining the insurgent army.

The features may be regular, the form perfect, but no woman can be beautiful : in the full sense of the word while suffering from any of the peculiar ailments of her aex. Disease destroys the complexion, ia produc tive of wrinkles and premature old age. Regular monthly uterine action is necessary . to every woman's health, and if this funo- tion of life is checked, disease, a pale and sallow complexion, and a feeling of exhaus timi Km the result. - The monthly secretion must continue from puberty to the turn of , life without unnatural obstruction. Any breach of this law of Nature will result in the distressing symptoms which make the ' lives of seven-tenths of the women of this country miserable, almost unbearable. A few of these symptoms are severe headache, loss of appetite, pale or sallow complexion, palpitation of the heart, swollen ankles or . lees, nervousness, offensive breath, etc, etc Tne sufferer may exhibit one or more of these symptoms, or may have all. They imply indicate the ravages disease has made npon the system, and the more of the symp toms the patient shows the greater the neces slty for prompt and persistent treatment, until they have been banished and the bloom of health is restored. To accomplish this end Dr. Williams' Pink Pills are the only unfailing remedy. They positively cure all suppressions and irregularities, which, if neglected, inevitably entail sick ness and trouble. By taking these pills for a week or ten days before the expected re turn of each period, the prompt appearance of ' '.Ahe visitor" is insured. For suppres sion the pills must be taken steadily until the re-appearance takes place generally in a month's time, sometimes less. Follow the directions on the pamphlet about each box. ' Nursing women will find their milk im ' proved in quality and quantity by taking these pills, and also obtain relief from pain in the back and general dragged-out feeling. All displacements from weakness of the uterine ligaments are speedily relieved and ultimately cured by the use of these pills. Leucorrhoea, bearing down, weight in the pelvis, and all female weakness, find speedy '- relief and cure in the administration of the Pink Pills for Pale People. , The most critical period in the life of a woman is that attending the cessation of menstruation, or, as it is most generally . termed, the change or turn of life.. The - symptoms attending this period are fainting ' spells or attacks of faintnesa or dizziness, headache, ' general debility, exhaustion, a : feeling of melancholy, hysteria, pain in the loins or limbs, hypochondria, etc The change is a gradual one for better or worse for the former if the patient is wise enough -to fortify the system against the ravages of , the symptoms attending the change. For this purpose no remedy ever discovered equals Dr. Williams Pink Pills. They . purify the blood by acting directly upon the sexual system, lessen the severity of this critical period, and finally leave the patient in the enjoyment of robust health. All ladies appoaching this critical period should take Dr. Willliams' Pink Pills. PALE AND SALLOW GIRLS. What can be more distressing than to see a girl drooping and fading in the springtime of youth Instead of bright eyes, glowing, rosy cheeks, and an elastic step, there are ' duU eyes, pale, sallow, or greenish complex ion, and a languidness of step that bespeaks disease and an early death if proper treat ment is not promplty resorted to and per sisted in until the impoverished blood is en ' riched, and the functions of life become regu lar. Upon parents rests a great responsi-: biliry at the time their daughters are bud ding into womanhood, U your daughter ia Dyuam.lt Did It. S. B. Baialey, who is Operating tbe Nelson placer - mines in Baker county, which are fed by tbe ' waters from the reservoir that recently gave way,- re- suiting in the death of seven people, in speaking of the catastrophe to a Pendle ton Tribute 'representative eaid that in his opinion the reservoir was blown up with dynamite: "I am satisfied that this is the cause ot the accident," said be,1 "and I think l ean place my hands- on the man who did it. There was a loud report heard in the vicinity of tbe reservoir the day before tbe dam gave away and in my opinion it bad some thing to do with what followed.- There are some people'who ill resort to any extreme to do one an injury, without anv regard to the consequences that may be visited upon innocent victims. That reservoir always has been safe, and I still maintain that it would be there to this day had it not been tampered with."

A Thankful Girl. from the Examiner, San Franeiieo, OaL Miss Lottie Donell lives with her parents at 702 Natpma Street, San Francisco. She is a young lady nineteen years of age, and of prepossessing appearance. Ever since she was ten years old Miss Donell has been a sufferer from a rheumatic affection of the wrist, and since she was thirteen yean of age she has been subject to various female weaknesses which have kept her physical vitality at a very low stage. Thus, as she says, she has been victim of disease ever since she can remember. When she was a little girl at school she was always placed at a disadvantage with her playmates on ac count of her frailty of body and timidity of manner. She could never loin in any of the more boisterous games, although sh always ' longed to do so. . But the embarrassing conditions of Miss Donell ' life have all been eliminated with in the past year, and the change is wholly due to the effective work of Dr. Williams' Pink PUls. - "It must be remembered, " said Miss Donell in telling of the great relief that Dr. William.' PUls had afforded her, " that at the time I began taking the pills I had been for yearsa confirmed invalid. Mywristwa swollen out of all proportion by the chronic rheumatism that had long since settled in it. The female complaints from which I had so long suffered had wasted my body away untU I was but a mere shadow of my former self and I had really come to think that the brightness and happiness of life was not meant for me. I had not the energy to per form even the most simple of my household duties, and, in a word I was completely "run down.' I began to take Dr. Williams' Pills while I was in this condition and before I had taken half a box of them I realized that they were doing me good. I began to feel lively again and to lose the lax. feeling in my limbs. I felt so happy over the momen tary relief that had been afforded me that I resolved to continue taking the pills. After taking several more boxes I was more than convinced of the high merits of the pills, for I was then wholly relieved from the rheu matic pains in my wrist and I had so far re-, gained my vitality of body that I really believed I had never experienced the ener vating effects of those wasting diseases which are so peculiar to women. It is a very great pleasure to me to be able to tell my young lady friends of the relief that has been af forded me by Dr. Williams' Pills and I will surely continue to recommend their use to all who are afflicted with the complaints from which I suffered." . ?
