"It is immaterial, in my judgment,
whether the sheep graiver receives any ben
efit from the tariff or not.
Whether he does or does not, I am for
free wool." Extract from speech of Wil
liam J. Bryan in the house of representa
tives when the Wilson bill was under con
sideration. THE MAIN QUESTION.
It is true-, as Speaker Reed says,
that two months ago it was gener
'ally believed that Republican suc
cess was a foregone conclusion.
This belief was founded upon cer
tain well-known facts and justified by
confidence in the good sense of the
American people. "What bus hap
pened since then ?" he asks. "Have
the last four jears of history been
blotted out? ffot one scrap of them.
Is our condition better? Rather
worse." This presents the case in a
clear light,' and emphasizes the main
question of the campaign. The facts
that led everybody to concede the
election of the Republican ticket two
months ago still exist and still mem
what they then meant. They are to
the effect that the Democratic party
has proved itself to be incapable of
managing the affairs of the govern
ment and unworthy of public trust
and respect. This is certainly a
sufficient reason for saying that it
should not be given another lease of
' power, and for believing that such a
result will not ensue. Why, then,
should we be told that the popular
judgment of two months ago as to
the outcome of the pending contest
should now be modified by doubt
and fear in that relation ? The sit
uation has not been changed in any
way that lessens the measure of
Democratic incompetency and of
Democratic responsibility for the
hard times. What is there, then, to
justify the idea that the Republican
ticket may be defeated after all ? -To
be sure, says th Globe-Demo
crat, m the last two months, the free
silver fallacy has been fastened upon
. the Democratic party as its leading
doctrine and its principal purpose ;
but in what respect does this warrant
the inference that the people may
possibly shut their eyes to the facts
of the last four years and continue
the unquestionable evils of Demo
cratic rule for another term? Even
granting that the free silver theory
is right and would do everything for
the country that its advocates assert,
the same general and decisive ob
jections to the Democratic party
would remain, and intelligence would
suggest that such a party could not
be depended upon to carry out any
advantageous policy. The money
question involves the larger one of
choosing between the two great par
ties on the basis of their respective
records in the matter of conducting
the public business and dealing with
the interests of the country. It is
not to be forgotten that the Demo
cratic part' is proposing to repair
damages that it has itself, wrought;
and what reason is there to suppose
that it would do any better on fur
ther trial? "Human experience in
every walk of life," as Speaker Reed
puts it, "teaches that those who have
blundered will blunder agaiu." The
extent to which the Democrats have
blundered in tho last four years is
unprecedented in our political his
tory; and it is safe to say, therefore,
that they will , not be permitted to
carry this year's election and prolong
the misfortunes that arc directly at
tributable to their follj- and wicked
ness. " ' ' ' ""'
GUIDES FOR THE CAMPAIGN.
For the next three months the air
will be thick with arguments for and
asrainst free silver. The following
definitions and explanation Of cur
rent terms in the controversy are
given for tlie benefit of those looking
for information :
Kind3 of money in use Gold
coins of 20, $10. 5 and $2i; silver
coins of $1, 50 cents, 25 cents and 10
cents ; nickel 5 cent coins ; cents ;
United States notes (greenbacks),
treasury notes; United State3 gold
certificates, issued upon deposits of
gold coin ; United States silver cer
tificates, issued upon deposits of siv
ver dollais; United States currency
certificates, issued on deposits of
United States notes, to national
banks only (issue now suspended) ;
national bank notes issued by nation
al banks.
Subsidiary coin Silver coins of
50 cents, 25 cents and 10 cents.
Minor coin Nickel 5 cent pieces
and cents.
Money of the constitution The
constitution give3 congress power
"to coin money and regulate the
value thereof," and of foreign coins
and forbid3 the states to coin money
or "make anything but gold aud sil
ver a tender in payment ot debts."
Ratio of I C to 1. In the propor
tion of 'G grains of silver to 1 of
gold, or more precisely of 15.038 to
1 ; that is, a silver dollar contains
371.25 grains of pure silver, and a
gold dollar 23.22 grains of pure gold,
there being 16 grains in the former
to 1 in the latter.
Origin of the ratio Fixed by law
in 1792 at 15 to 1, representing the
relative commercial values of the !
metals; changed to 16,002 to 1 in
1834, and to present ratio in 1837.
Free coinage of silver Coinage
by the United States mints of all
silver offered, free of charge to the
owners of the bullion, into legal-tender
money.
Unlimited coinage of silver Coin
age of all silver budion offered.
Gold reserve Gold held by the
treasury for redemption of paper
money. The aim is to keep this
fund up to $100,000,000.
Gold standard countries -Austria, j
Brazil, Chile, Canada, Denmark,
xi -v , XT !
Britain, Liberia, Newfoundland, Nor-j
way, Portugal, Sweden, Turkey,
United State9.
Silver standard countries Bolivia,
Central America, China, Colombia.
Ecuador, Japan, Mexico, Peru,
Russia, Tripoli.
Value of gold in various coun
tries The Hon. M. L. Muhleman,
of the United States sub-treasury,
New York, says the grain of gold is
of the spme value in the civilized
world ; it is "the international stand
ard ; even silver is now measured by
it alone in international transactions."
Value of silver in various coun
tries It is not uniform as gold.
The most prevalent standard is the
Mexican dollar, which contains 377.
17 grains of pure silver, nearly C
grains more than our dollar. As
silver changes constantly in value so
does the Mexican dollar. Its pur
chasing value in thif vountry, though
containing more silver than our own
silver dollar, ts but little more than
fifty cents, .because our own silver is
maintained at a parity with gold..
Demonetization act of 1873 Often
called the "crime" of '73. The act
by which congress stopped the coin
age of silver dollars, chiefly because
the bullion 'value of the silver was
then worth cents more than the
gold dollar, ana silver dollars were
not in circulation.

ffQtT IT SEEMS - TO CS.
There are some people in The
Dalles-who are going to vote against
their own interests next. November.
They are arguing against them now.
Upon street corners and in tbe cus;
ternary'" places of gatherings are
heard the voices of those who are
clamoring for the election of Bryan.
Have these clamorers stopped to
think for what "they are clamoring?
They say they are seeking a change.
A change from what? From the
distressing condition ' that ' exists
t.hrOugl out the country. Very true.
And - !ti 'lirought about this dis
tressing condition? Who caused the
commercial collapse' into which the
country has" fallen? Who has
brought jKvertj- to thousands of
laborers, bankruptcy to business
men, the sheriff to nianufactuiers,
and suicide to those who have seen
their all slip from unwilling fingers? ,
. These are questions which will be
answered variously. Some will say
one thing ; others another. But if
the Veil, with which from many the
truth is bidden, were torn aside the
answer would be the same to all.
The trouble started in November,
1892. Do you not think so? Then
compare the country's condition then
and now.
Hardly had G rover Cleveland
been declared elected till the first
symptoms of the national disease
were notised. Paralysis was its
name. But a few months after he
had taken his seat, a panic began.
Banks began to fail : business houses
to close; manufactures lay idle and
employment ceased for thousands of I
willing workers.
Thfe is history ; unpleasant history,
but none the less true. The summer
of 1893 wa3 a disastrous one through
out the country. We felt it m The
Dalles. It was 'experienced every-;
where. Through all the arteries of
tiade commerce clotted and men
waited fpatientlv till the trouble
would cease.
But it did not tense; it continues
yet. The . succeeding years show
little change. The Democrats com
plained that the Republican policy
brought on strikes, aud yet the sum
nier of 189 1 saw the greatest of all
strike. The panic stil! continues.
The couutry is reeling from the blow
of 1892; it will not recover until an
antidote in the shape of a Republi
can victory is administered.
The destruction of the protective
policy started a chain of calamities.
The nation was quick to see the
error it had made, and the elections
of 1894 told that it repented. But
. ......
with a cunning for which it is famous,
the Democratic party has changed
its mask, and prances before the
people in a new guise. It has aban
doned its free trade standard. It
raises one bearing the free coinage of
silver. It has swapped horses in the
midst of the stream.
Free trade started the trouble; free
coinage will continue it. When 3'ou
arc looking for the cause, of the
present hard times just recall that
election of 1892. Remember how
prosperous the nation was then, and
look at it now. We need quote no
figures; no statistics are needed.
Only look around and see ; see what
the Democratic party has done and
then consider whether by your vote
you will endorse its work.
The meeting of the McKinley
Club Friday evening should be at
tended by, every voter in The Dalles
who is opposed to the election of
Bryan. ' This is not a political mat
ter; it is deeper than that. The
business interests of the nation, of
our state and city are threatened,
and we must all work for the same
end. The presence of business men
is desired, who by their attendance
and counsel will lend encouragement
to tbe work. And theie will be
plenty 'Of room for sound money
Democrats.
Portlanders May Feel Believed.

November, I will resign from the office

A LI9SOK IN DOLLARS.
Rut Mr. Bryan Could Nat Profit by the
Lesson.
, . ; Los Angeles Times.
A. L. Morrison of Santa Fe, in a letter
to the Clevelaud World, recites an inci
dent of a trip- made by Mr. Bryan to
Mexico last winter, which it) interesting,
likewise instructive.
When 'lie (Mr. Bryan) was in Juarez,
Mexico, he saw an opal in one of tbe
curiosity stores, with which that city
abounds, which struck him ai being a
good one. - Inquiring tbe prise of it, tbe
merchant told him it was 4, meaning,
altbongh he did not say so, tour Mexican
dollars. Mr. Bryan thought $4 was a
cood deal of ninipy for it, and said: "I
will jtive yn $S Ur it. if you like." The
merchant agreed, and Mr. Bryan there
and then, much to trie astonishment of
the merchant, banded lain three Amer
ican dollars. Tbe opal was carefully
wrapped up, and Mr. Bryan departed,
elated to think he had secured a good
stone for $1 less than its price. But hi
elation was greatly inferior to that felt
by the merchant, who Lad secured $6
three American dollars being nearly
equal in value to six Mexican dollars
for what lie had only asked $4.
This little incident carries with it a
neat little moral : Mr. Bryan may know
a good opal when he sees it, but be does
not know that an American silver dollar
is as good as two Mexican ones.
Germaoi and Sound Notify.
Chicago Times-Herald.
A large proportion of the Germans
living in the United States were born in
tbe fatherland long enough ago to have
seen the effect of free coinage of silver in
actual operation. They have been wit
nesses of the benefits conferred ' upon
the industries and commerce of tbe new
empire by substitution of tbe gold stand
ard for the silver standard.
Tbe sous of these Germans have profit
ed by the experience of their fathers.
There are 1087 papers in the United
States in the German langnage. Of this
nnmber there are only forty-seven not
advocating maintenance of the existing
gold standard, no matter what their
party affiliations.
Bryan's Borrowed Plg'iren.
Philadelphia ledger.
Mr. Bryan's friends assert that the
speech he is now preparing for delivery
on accepting his nomination will be tbe
greatest effort of his life. Let us hope it
will be a new effort, at any rate, for evi
dence is accumulating that tbe one
which gained hira the nomination bad
done duty at least once, and ' probahly
two or three times before, and that its
most striking passage, the "crown of
thorns" figure, was taken front a speech
delivered in congress in January, 1894,
by Representative McCall, of Maeaachu
setts, Mr. Bryan being then and there
present. The boy orator must prepare
something fresh and original if he wishes
to retain his prestige for eloquence.

Since the school board has refused to
accept Mr. S. B. -Adams' resignation, he
has retaliated" by introducing another
economy to the district the saving of
$5.75 a month water rent, with no deter
ioration in the supply or quantity of
water. By laying 1540 feet of water
pipe, which has been completed, from
the academy spring to tbe ecbool bouses
below the bluff, they are now supplied
with an abundance of good water, for
which the district will not be required
to pay rent. The entire expense did
not exceed $200. '
ASSIST NATURE
a little now and then
in removing offend
ing matter from the
stomach and bowels
and you thereby
avoid a multitude
of distressing de
rangements and dis
eases, and will have
less frequent need
of your doctor's
service.
Of all known
agents for this pur
pose. Dr. Pierce's
Pleasant Pellets are
the best. Once
owed, they are al
ways in favor
Their secondary ef
fect is to keep the
bowels open and
regular, not to fur
ther constipate, as
is the case with
other pills. Hence, their great popularity
with sufferers from habitual constipation,
pile9 and their attendant discomfort 'ana
manifold derangements. The "Pellets"
are purely vegetable and perfectly harmless
in any condition of the system. - No care is
required while usinp; them; they do not
lnierierc wiin inc diet, nauits or occupa
tion, and produce no pain, griping or shock
to the system. They act in a mild, easy and
natural way and there is no reaction after
ward. Their help lasts.
The Pellets core biliousness, sick and
bilious headache, dizziness, costiveness, or
constipation, sour stomacn, loss of appetite,
coated tongue, indigestion, or dyspepsia,
windy bclchinga, "heartburn," pain and
distress after eating, and kindred derange
ments of the liver, stomacn ana Dowels.
In proof of their superior excellence, it can
be truthfully said, that they are always
adopted as a household remedy after the
nrst trial, rut up in sealed, glass viais,
therefore always fresh and reliable, v One
little " Pellet " is a laxative, two are mildy
cathartic. As a " dinner pill," to promote
digestion, or to relieve distress from over
eating, take one after dinner. They are
tiny, sugar-coated granules; any child will
readily take them. - .
Accept no substitute that may be recom
mended to be "just as good." It may be
better for Ike dealer, because of paying him
a better profit, but he is not the one who
needs help.
There's no clay, flour, starch or other
worthless filling in "Hoe Cake" and no
free alkali to burn the hands. jly24

HORSES ARE INTELLIGENT.
That the Inevitable Conclusion Gained
from Mr. Bristol's show.
; The large audience who- greeted Prof.
Bristol's horse show last evening were
all well repaid for going. It is a gen
uine pleasure 'to find' oat that horses
have so much intelligence' as they gave
evidence of possessing last night, and is
at the same time a revelation to one in
the habit of abusing a horse. There is
no doubt that they 'understood what
was said to them by' the director, Prof.
Bristol. Some of tbe acts are marvelous.
Among these are Snltanj who does ex
amples in addition, subtraction, etc., by
indicating the' answers with' strokes of
bis foot.' Even if there is a signal be
tween man and horse, it is so cunningly
concealed that human intelligence can
hot lay it bare. The trapexe pony,
Tony, who leaves a flying "swing and
jumps through a hoop covered with pa
per to a pedestal is another wonder. A
blind 'horse, also, swings himself, by
stepping forward and back in the swing.
Harry and Naomi see-saw themselves on
a board ; atid afterwards a third see-saws
them both, the two end horses standing
still. Seven horses ring bells and 10 ex
ecute a military drill with mnch pre
cision. It was a show which performed
everything it advertised, which even
exceeded its published promises, w hich
is probably the first ever appealing in
The Dalles to do so.
Prof. Bristol, the trainer, called at
The Cbkonici.k office this morning, and
told many interesting things regarding
his horses. Denver, he says, is the
most intelligent trained horse, or rather
mule, on earth. He has been offered
$5000 for him. Sultan, the horse who
counts, is the most high-spirited, and
was once considered the most vicious
horse in the country. He never failed
to smash any vehicle he was hitched to,
and invariably resented tbe whip by
trjing to kill bis owner. Mr. Bristol
conquered him by the only possible way,
with kindness, and to this day he ex

hibits an insane fury if threatened with
the whip. Prof. Bristol said to the re
porter that tonight he would touch him
with it, and to watch , him try to bite
and destroy "it. Only once since he
owned the animal, said the professor,
had he struck bim, out of curiosity to
see what he would do. The blow was a
very light one, but Sultan came up
with open mouth, his eyes flashing un
trollable rage. But the professor's atti
tude changed. Instead of accepting the
borse's challenge to mortal ; combat he
offered him a lump of sugar and tbe
trace was accepted. Comanche is brim ming
over with mischief, and is always
biting and playing tricks upon the other
horses. He is tbe bad boy in school.
Tbe professor understands the spirit and
encourages it. He can appreciate viva
city in a horse as well as in a human
being. Thousands of men would take it
for meanness, and try to whip it out of
an animal, when it is only high spirits.
"Horses should never be whipped," said
Mr. Bristol. "It breaks' their . hearts;
makes them despondent, and gives tbehi
tbe spirit of slaves. I want to tell you
there never was a balky horse born. . If '
men sometimes knew wbat horses know,
there would be much less trouble with
them. It is shameful to abuse so much
intelligence. There was never a natur
ally mean horse. My exhibition serves
a humane purpose in showing up these
facts, and has been the means of lessen- '
ing cruelty to animals wherever J have
traveled." ' ; ,' .
