THE FREE SILVER NOMINEE.
suit brings disappointment, and many
will not make the progress towards
reducing their indebtedness that
they had hoped. But the truth is that
such misfortunes come now and then
to all countries, and Eastern Oregon
has the resources to weather any tem
porary discomfort better than most
places. Such wiltering weather i&
unprecedented phenomena for this
section. . ' .
The nation thaDks Democracy for
nuttino off the mask it has worn
many years, for a platform frankly
bad, and for a candidate who matches
it perfectly. William J. Bryan of
Nebraska, the "Boy Orator," os his
friends delight to call him, is a wor
thy embodiment of the frantic spirit
which produced the Populist move
ment, has taken the Democratic
party by assault, and proposes repu
diation and anarchy as medicines
for existing ills. , It is the better if
Mr. Bryan, as is said, is a man of un
blemished personal character. The
more clear and distinct the issue can
be made between the Jacobinism
which nominated' him and the Re
publicanism which nominated Mr.
McKinley the better for the country,
says the irioune. tua nomination
is also a gratifying defeat of the sen
atonal plot, which has been six
months at work to force a bolting
Republican upon the Democrats on
the silver issue alone, ignoring the
tariff. The conspiracy set up Mr.
Bryan to kill off. Mr: Bland, but
found that Nebraska understood the
"sinful game," and held the cards.
This selection is a fitting end of a
mcst extraordinary convention. As
the Jacobins across the sea chose
passion instead of reason for their
guide, and were ever ruled by the
men of fiery tongue and no sense of
restraint, their imitators at Chicago
have held the most lysterical con
vention on record, and have chosen
above all others vhe man who ap
pealed most to their emotions. . Dem
ocrats of great ability and experience
in law-making and in administration
have been tossed aside for one whose
sole public service has been for . two
terms in congress, in which it is not
known that he ever framed or helped
to frame a practical measure, and
who never had the least administra
tive expeiience in nation, state,
county or town oflice. ' Elected 'on
the tidal wave of 1890 by about
7,000 plurality, he barely crawled
back in 1892 with a plurality of 140,
while 2,409 Popu.'ists refused to vote
for him, and he was completely ob
literated by the Republican revival
of 1894. He had modestly aspired
to be United. States senator, but was
left out of sight by Mr. Thurston, J
the Democrats electing only 8 and
the Populists only 28 members of
the legislature, against 97 Repuli-
cans. '
Nebraska does not appear to have
discovered that it had within its
borders the most eminent law-giver
in the land, or the best qualified
person for chief executive. Whether
Mr. Bryan is a Democrat at all or
not, he arrived at the national con
vention as a member of the contest
ing delegation Against - which the
Democratic national committee de
cided, but he broke in by the expul
sion of the delegation supported by
Secretary Morton, and it may be
inferred that the Democrats who
controlled the state convention ad
judged regular may make their reply
to Mr. Bryan at the polls. His
intense sincerity of devotion to the
most extreme and radical Populistic
ideas is his only discoverable quali
fications, except his eloquence. A
man of little depth of knowledge or
thought, but powerfully gifted in
passion and the faculty of moving it
in others, he appeals to those who are
governed by emotion and not by
reason at all. Of his judgment, it is
enough to say that in his reply to
Senator Hill at Chicago he declared
with tremendous conviction that the
silver ticket would carry every state
in the union. And his supporters
were capable of wildly cheering that
assertion. - "
A COMPARISON.
The administration of Grover
Cleveland . has not many more
months to live. Already its history
is being written and. the results are
not such as bring satisfaction to the
averase American. The Wilson
tariff bill, which is one of the pro
ductions from the Democratic work
shop, has been in operation twenty-
two months. During that time t
deficiency has arisen ot $80,903,777
the amount being figured to July 1,
1896. In only four month3 of the
twenty-two have the receipts exceed
ed the- expenditures. As compared
with the first twenty-two months of
the McKinley law, the operation of
the Wilson bill shows a loss to the
treasury of $102,275,791, the total
receipts under the McKinley law for
the time mentioned being $660,420,-
350 ; under the Wilson bill $558,
The surplus which was built up
under Republican rule, quickly melt
ed when the Democrats came in
power and the reduction in the na
tional debt ceased.
Compare the figures of the Harri
son and Cleveland administrations.
Under Harrison the interest-bearing
debt decreased $244,819,730; under
Cleveland tt was increased $262,-
329.630.
Nor is this all. The internal reve
nue receipts show a great falling off.
For the first twenty -two months
under the McKinley law they
amounted to $273,918,359: under
the Wilson bill $237,198,215. De
crease $36,720,144.
The countiy has suffered untold
disaster since the advent of the Dem
ocrats to power. By its own figures
is the present an ministration con
demned, and next November the
people will decree the enactment of
a doucv whicii win enaDie tne coun
try to receive revenue sjmcient tor
its maintenance.
AN OBJECT LESSON.
HOW WOULD YOU LIKE IT?
News from Umatilla county gives
the information that the damage to
the wheat crop there has been fully
fifty per cent. The effect of .the hot
wave is nowhere local, and all por
tiOns have suffered alike. There can
be no denying the fact that the re-
Here is a cabinet which is among
the possibilities in case Bryan be
elected. How would you like to
have the affairs of the country ad
ministered by men who hold such
views? This is an ideal cabinet for
a Demo-Pop-Anarchistic administra
tion :
Secietary of state John P. Alt
Secretary of the treasury Rich
ard P. Bland.
Secretary of war Benjamin R.
Tillman.
Attorne3T-general Jos. BInckburn.
Postmaster-general Horace Boies.
Secretary of the navy John R.
McLean.
Secretary of the interior Henry
M. Teller.
Secretary of agriculture Jerry
Simpson. x
Nothing would then be lacking to
insure peace and prosperity at home,
and Altgeld would be free to force
the appointment of Ilerr Most as
ambassador to the court of St. James
or to Berlin.
An object lesson is furnished to
the people of The Dalles of the dan;
gers which threaten the country.
The wool buyers from the East, who
have spent the season fo far in this
city, have, it 'is stated, received in
structions from their employers in
the East to buy no more wool, but
to close their business arrangements
and return home. This action js
due to the possibility next Novem
ber of Mr. Bryan being elected with
his free trade, free silver views.
The Eastern woolen manufacturers
come in for no blame over the situa
tion. They are simply protec'ing
their own interests, and the wool
grower vi hoe clips they refuse to
buy concedes that they are but do
ing what circumstances justify.
Such action, however, will work a
great hardship in the West. The
wool product this year is very large,
and our warehouses are crowded be
yond all former precedents. But
none is selling. The bankers and
merchants who made advances will
wait along time for their returns
if in fact they come at all.
And yet there are men in The
Dalles who will vote against McKin
lej' next November; vote against
the party whose success means the
coming of prosperity to places which
have suffered for the lack of it be
cause or tmimieal taritr legislation.
The Dalles is the largest wool depot
iu the West and feels the quickening
and lessening of the pulse of trade
sooner than most places. It has al
ready this season felt the effect of
this agitation carried on by the op
ponents of Americau industries. It
is idle to state anj'thmg but the
truth. Unless the election of Mc-
Ktalcy is assured there will be no
wool sold in The Dalles this season,
and the $600,000 which was circu
lated through our city last summer
will remain in memory as a reminder
of the days that were. All the argu
ments of theorists and demagogues
fade to nothing In the face of
the object lesson which the wool
growers in Eastern Oregon are per
ceiving now.
If you want to know how Demo
cratic tariff tinker:nr works, ask the
wool grower whose product remains
unsold in the warehouse; ask the
merchant who has sold large quanti
ties of goods, expecting a quick re
turn, but receives it not : ask the
capitalist who has loaned money and
finds his security dwindling; and
ask the laboring man whose wages
have been cut in half, and, worse
than that, finds no employment, even j
at wages so reduced. Ask these
men, earnest questioner, and leave
your free trade professors to their
books and their impractical theoiists.
The last t ate.
It should not be lost sight of that
the Republican party favors the an
nexation of Hawaii. The valiant
Americans who have wrested that
country from a dissolute rule are
waiting till the inauguration of Mc
Kinley before again asking admis
sion. These gems of the Pacific are
fertile to a wonderful, degree, and
also afford a coaling station, which is
badly needed, in the Pacific. Ens
land and Germany are both looking
with longing eyes to the prize which
is offered to America. If wc do not
take it, one of them will. Under a
Republican administration the an
nexation of Hawaii is promised.

Will the conscientious Democrats
who believe in the maintenance of a
sound currency system allow them
selves to be driven like cattle into
the ranks of the Populists ? Such an
action would be unworthy of a true
American. Party ties are of no ac
count when patriotism is an issue.
The coming election is full of por
tent for the future of the country.
The Chicago convention has joined
hands with the Populists, but it re
mains to be seen whether it can de
liver the goods.
Why should the Populists be so
concerned about preserving their
party organization? The Democrats
have saved them the trouble, and by
their action at Chicago made Fopu
lism and Democracy identical. There
is no difference between a Democrat
and Populist these days. ,

The question nnder discussion this
afternoon was "The value of a high
school education to the teacher an the
ungraaea ecnooi ana to the primary
teacher." . . - . .
Mr. Gavin thought a money value
would result by a higher salary to the
teacher. Mr. Ackerman said that when
a good position was opened it was the
best teacher who was employed. Miss
Hill read an interesting paper on the
subject, the principal points of which
were: The training gives confidence.
The country teacher needs broad cul
ture for influence, for routine school
work, to interest his pupils, and the
primary teacher needs high school work
to train ner in accuracy, to give her a
high ideal and win the respect of the
pupils.
Several teachers are now enrolled as
students of the University Association
Extension. The first year's work is
universal history.
. Horsea for the Army.
Only thirteen out of 180 borees shown
at Pendleton were accepted for army use
by the inspector, Mr. Frazier. . The rigid
examination which disqualified over 93
per cent of the entire number is well
shown by the Pendleton Tribune, which
tells what the horses had to undergo be
fore being selected for the comfortable
stables of army life, with men for ser
vants as well as masters :
The horses were first brought before
the eagle-eyed inspectors on the stable
floor. They there took a quick general
look at the animal, and often, in this
first cursory glance, some flaw was de
tected which disqualified the horse,
Should his symmetry and individuality
fill the requirements he was then exam'
ined as to size, height, weight and color.
Should the horse pass muster in these
particulars, search is made for bone or
blood spavins, big curbs or ringbones,
and if auy ire found he is thrown out
If found free of these defects, and has a
good small head with perfect eyes, nice
neck, good shoulder, good straight legs,
hind legs well set under the body, good
withers and breast, strong back, good
big belly, nice, round smooth, muscular
hips, well-developed, broad haunches ;
if his teeth are sonnd, and indicate the
necessary ape, and if be has not a par
rot mouth in which the upper lront
teeth overlap the lower, a final examina
tion is made for small splints and small
ringbones, crooked feet and crooked
legs, side bones. The feet are closely
examined and then the back to see that
it is suitable for saddle purposes, and
strong enough to carry the weight of the
soldier and his trappings, 250 pounds
They see that his hips are not knocked
down. Having examined the tail,
which they rely upon for many things,
they go to the sheath, because a horse.
with a good sheath makes a good and
serviceable animal, whereas a poor
sheath indicates weakness. The hind
legs are then once more examined to see
that they are sound before the horse is
put upon the scales and bis supposed
weight confirmed. A saddle is then put
upon the horse and he is taken outside.
He is first walked, then trotted, and
afterward galloped. Lastly he is given
a hard rnn to learn that his wind is
good and that bis heart is all right.
AN OFTREPEATED STORY OF TRUE PHILANTHHOPY
What Chas. H. Hackley has Done for Vestern
Michigan How the only Cloud in the Life
of an Honored Man was Brushed
away by Science.
From Grand Rapid, Mich., Evening Pren.
and what they had done for others,
and some cases so nearly resombled
mine that I was Interested. But I did
not know whether the testimonial.-
were genuine or not. and I did not
wish to be humbugged, so I wrote to
one who had given a testimonial, an
eminent professor of musio in Canada.
The reply I received was even Bt'mng
er than the printed testimonial, and it
gave me faith in the medicine. '
"I began taking the pills and found
them to be all that the professor had
told mo they would be. It was two or
three months before I experienced any
perceptible betterment of my condi
tion. My disease was of such long
standing that I did not expect speedy
recovery, and was thankful even to be
relieved. I progressed rapidly, how
ever, towards recovery, and for the
last six months have felt myself a
perfectly well man. I have recom
mended the pills to many people, and
am only too glad to assist others to
health through the medium of this
wonderful medicine. I cannot say too
mucn ior wnac it nas done Tor me."
Dr. Williams' Pink Pills for Pale
People have an enormous sale, and
from all' quarters come in glowing re
ports of the excellent results follow
ing their use. An analysis proves that

matism, nervous headache, the after
effects of la grippe, palpitation of tha
heart, pale and sallow complexions,
that tired feeling resulting from nerv
ous prostration; all diseases resulting
from vitiated humors in the blood,
such as scrofula, chronic erysipelas,
etc. They are also a SDeciflc for trou
bles peculiar to females, such as sup
pressions, irregularities, and all forms
of weakness. They build up the blood
and restore the glow of health to palp
and sallow cheeks. In men they ef
fect a radical cure in all cases arising'
fromi mental worry, overwork or ex
cesses of whatever nature. There are
no 111 effects following the use of this
wonderful medicine, and It can be
given to children with perfect safety.
. CnAS. H. HACKLEY.
The most beautiful spot in Muske
gon is inseparably associated with
the name of Hackley, and in all West
ern Michigan there is not a name bet
ter known, and among the studious
ana tnose interested In deeds of Dhil-
anlhropy, this name is known and ad
mired. Chas. H. Hackley has been in
tht; lumber business continuously since
J.-t). and in that time has amassed a
fortune, which gives him a rating
among tne weaitny men or the na
tion. But with wealth there did not
coma that tightening of the purse-
strings wtncn is generally a marked
characteristic of wealthy men.
There ia r.o prettier spot in the State

rounded ana pierced by stone walls.
emphasising with their whiteness the
green of faultlessly kept lawns. Its
crowning pride a towering soldier's

that the nation might live. Surround

Other elegant buildings testify like
wise to the liberality and munificence
of tliis man who has pulled wealth out
or tne.rorests of Michigan. cs
It is no wonder then that the name
of Charles II. Hackley is known at
home and abroad. His munificence to
Muskegon alone represents an outlay
oi nearly nair a million. 'or trie past
twenty years he has been a constant
sufterer from neuralgia and rheuma
tism, al3o numbness of the lower
limbs, so much so that It has seriously
interfered with his pleasure in life.
For some time past his friends have
noticed that he has seemed to. grow
young again, and to have recovered
tho health which he had in youth.
To a correspondent of the Press, Mr.
Hackley explained the secret of his
transformation, and to his friends
who have known how he suffered, it
is indeed a transformation. "I have
suffered for over twenty years." he
said, seated in his private office, "with
pains in my lower limbs so severely
that the only relief I could get at
night was by putting cold water com
presses on my limbs. I was bothered
more at night than in the day time.
The neuralgic and rheumatic pains
in my limbs, which had been growing
in intensity for years, finally became
etironic. I made three trips to the
Hot Springs with only partial relief,
and then fell back to my original
slate. I couldn't sit' still, and my
sufferings began to make life look
very blue. Two years ago last Sep
tember I noticed an account of Dr.
