TIME FOR WORK.
' The candidates have been chosen
and the platforms been made for the
great campaign of 1896. The real
work will now begin. Already the
results in some portions of the coun
try can be predicted. In the Eastern
and Middle states the only question
is hove large will McKinley's major
ity be. In the South Br an and
Populism will triumph. In the West
the battle is uncertain.
The fusion of the Democrats and
Populists will undoubtedly make the
Bryan ticket strong west of the
Rockies, and some of . the rank .silver
states . will probablj give it their
electoral votes.
In Oregon and Washington", con
ceding all the claims of the Bryan
men, thc: contest" will be a close one,
with tne chances in favor of the Re
publicans. As' the campaign pro
gresses the cause of sound money
and protection will increase in
strength. '.j.
At the same time there is urgent
need for active, well-directed work.
The Republican schism in Oregon last
spring has interfered greatly with
the efficacy of the work done by the
state committee, and the situation
now is not as harmonious on pnrnist.
Republicans would wish it.' But j
factional differences must be healed ;

selfish considerations must be put in
the background and an unbroken
front shown to the enemy."
The address which was sent out a
few days ago by the executive com
mittee of the state Republican leagues
should be given careful attention.
In ever3r county the organization of
Republican clubs should be begun
without delay. In Wasco county
ever- precinct should have a club
which will seivc as a nucleus for
campaign work. The membership of
The Dalles McKinley Club should be
three or four times what it is, and
every member should feel a respon
sibility in doing what he can to se
cure Republican success.
The present campaign is no ord
nary one. Whatever other people
may say, we believe that" the success
of Bryan next November means
nothing less than national bank
ruptcy. Free trade and free silver
will complete the ruin begun four
3'eas ago when the country slumped
to Democracy. Business men have
a vital interest in the outcome, and
this should be eminently a business
man's campaign.
Have the free silver Republicans
forgotten that Bryan is a free trader?
Are they going to ignore the over
powering question of protection in
this campaign and vote for Bryan
because he represents their ideas only
on the coinage question? Bryan's
whole course while a member of con
gress was in opposition to the prin
ciples of protection, which the Re
publican party believes essential
to the. prosperity of the nation.
Here is what he said during the de
bate on the tariff bill: "What I
denounce is a protective tariff, levied
purely and solely for the purpose of
protection. It is false economy and
the most vicious political principle
that has ever cursed this country."
There are sixteen voting precincts
in the county outside of The Dalles.
Everyone of these should have a Re
publican Club. No matter whether
the membership be large or small,
there is a work for such organiza
tions to do. This is a time when
every business man should be a poli
tician. '' '

before November this year are Ala

paper, the New York Sun, has come
out openly for McKinley the public
will be interested in knowing what
it has to say. . In a iccent issue it
criticises your.g Mr. Hryan's speech
es as follows :
In his speech from the balcony of
the Clifton house on Friday night to
the Bland Club of Missouii and other
unfortunates, the Hon. William Jen
nings Bryan said :
"Why should J'ou not be careful
in selecting the man who serves jou
in a public capacity when you give
grent care in selecting those who
serve you in a private capacity?"
Mr. Bryan need not worry lest the
people should be too hastj- in mak
ing uj their minds as to whom they
want for president. The shallow and
hysterical emotion which nominated
him on the strength of a few chromos
of speech cannot last, and will not be
felt outside of the convention, He
may continue to appear to himself
what Governor Stone of Missouri
painted, in high molasses, the night
of his nomination, "a splendid leader,
beautiful as Apollo, intellectual be
yond comparison, a great, orator, a
great scholar," but the people are
not selecting candidates on account
of their loveliness of face or figure,
and ot Mr. Bryan's intellectual equip
ment thej- are capable of forming
their own opinion. The gifts of ora
tory and scholarship, provided he
possessed either to an extent calcu
lated to impress the sane and well
educated, would not count. The
questions the people will ask are :
"Who is he ?" "What has he done ?"
And they will find out that he is a
glib young lawyer, who has practiced
politics instead of his profession, and
has once lapsed, with no cheerful re
sulls, into journalism. His public
career consists in having served two
terms in congress with no other con-
spicuity than what he attained by an
occasional empty and rhetorical
speech - such as filled the Populists
and anarchists with rapture last
Friday. Though a member of the
ways and means eommiltee during
both terms, he never caused himself
to be regarded as an important per
sonage in it or in .the house. In the
fifty-third congvess he helped- force
the income fax, filched from his
friends and allies, the Populists, upon
the Democratic party, but he was

and not by his efficiency in congress,
that he attained the reputation he
has enjoyed for two or tlnee years as
a radical talker, who has coquetted
with the Populists and was well re
garded by them. Of judgment, of
administrative ability, of knowledge
of affairs, of any essential quality of
statesmanship, of any qualities what
ever except a fluent tongue and a
sufficiency of self-assurance, "he has
never shown a trace, so far as his
brief and obscure career can be fol
lowed. ' If he were a candidate on
the best of all platforms he would
still be only a sonorous nullity. He
remains a sonorous nu'.litj- on about
as bad a platform as can be con
ceived. WHY IS IT SOt
Dealers say that never before in
the history of Oregon has the wool
situation been anything like what it
is at the present time." Heretofore
there has always been a market for
wool at some price. There Las al
ways been money in the past, plenty
of it, lo advance to any and all who
wanted to consign their wool. Peo
ple have held back for better prices
m days gone by, but when the time
came that tuey had to sell there were
always buyers ready to pay the mar
ket price. Now there is no market,
no price, no buyers, none who will
make advances. The wool business
is at a dead standstill! . It is stuck
fast in the mire of financial demoral
ization the horses have bilked and
refuse to budge an inch. A big
lump of wealth, represented by great
mountains of wool, one of the main
stays of Eastern Oregon, is tied np,
and for the present needs is as worth
less as the sands of the Columbia
20,000,000 pounds of wool in East
ern Oregon towns alone, and no one
to even advance money enough on
it to pay freight from one town to
another. This wool is stored in
warhouses at Huntington, Elgin,Baker
City, Union, Durkee, Pendleton,
Heppner, Echo, Arlington and The
Dalles. . The producers of this wool
would like to "know- ''where they are
at,"
The above is taken from the East
Oregonian, one of the staunch Dem
ocratic journals'of Eastern Oregon.
It is a truthful presentation of the
disastrous condition, and coming
from such a source carries with it
gi eat weight as a campaign argu
ment. Although the East Orego
nian' seemingly asks, why such a
condition exists, it knows the answer
as well as any one. Had it not been

for the part played by newspapers
and politicians in influencing the
people to vote into power a free
trade Democratic administration,
there would not be this congestion in
the wool market. No manufacturer
nor speculator is sjoing to put one
dollar in wool till it is known
whether tbese immense foreign ship
ments are to continue. There need
no one think that the situation will
change unless the election of Mc
Kinley becomes absolutely sure.
With Eastern Oregon's greatest
industry stilled in the way it has
been, it is preposterous for the Dem
ocratic party to ask for voles from
the chief sufferers.
An effort is being made towards
retrenchment in the city government
of Portland. Big cuts have been
made in the salary lists of tho fire
and police departments, and both
forces reduced. The action taken
was inevitable, but the good of the
city would have been better served
if the economy had begun years azo.
The municipal extravagance of Seat
tle, Tacoma and Portland should
serve, as an example to smaller
places, which often spend more than
they should.
With between six and seven mil
lion pounds of wool lying unsold in
The Dalles warehouse and no im
mediate prospect of any sale, there
is no danger of the Democratic
ticket carrying Wasco county text
November. But McKinley's major
ity should be made as large as possi
ble, so it will bring up the ticket in
other places not so favored. 1
And now it is stated that no formal
notification will be made to Bryan of
his nomination for president on the
Populist ticket. 13 it possible the
Populists are ashamed of their action
and want the people to forget it?
A sound-money Democrat is not
obliged to vote the Republican
ticket, but that is the easiest and
best way for him to show that he
means what he says.
It may be a surprise to some peo
ple, but it is none the less true that
the contract with the Messrs. Day at
the Cascade locks does not expire
till June 11, 1897.
