Extract from speech of Wil liam J. Bryan in the house of representa tives when the Wilson bill was under con siderahon. , WHAT BRYAN HAS TO DEFEND. . ' Candidate Bryan says he is readjr and willing to defend the platform upon . which he stands. Bv this he means both the Democratic and Pop ulist platforms, since he has been nominated and, to all intents r.nd purposes, accepted the principles which form the cardinal faith of these two parties. Bryan is ready to de fend the propagandas which the Dem ocrats and Populists have put forth. Have you stopped to think what these mean ? The Democratic party declares .that the government shall stamp 53 cents' worth of silver and call it a dollar, and shall keep on stamping such amounts of metal as long as they shall be presented.. This same Democratic party which has always contended that the nation is no great er than the individual states, now announces that this government is greater than the rest of the world and by its own action can do what, other countries have long ago given up as impossible. . The amount of bullion in a silver dollar is worth today fifty-three cents. Behind it is forty-seven cents' worth of government credit. That is what makes up the deficit and enables the fifty-three-cent dollar to purchase 100 cents of commodity. If free coinage were to result, the government would be unable to pledge its proportion of credit, and the silver dollar would purchase just what its bullion was worth. This would be depreciated currency, and this Mr. Bryan is ready to de fend. The Democratic platform declares for free trade. Have we not had enough of free trade ? It is a tire some subject to refer to, but the people of Eastern Oregon have cause to heed it well. Free trade has been the curse upon us all. It has brought the wool industry, upon which each of us is dependant, from a prosperous business to a calamatous undertak ing. Free trade has made bank rupts out of well-to-do business men; destroyed credit, and made the se verest of economy necessary. And free trade Mr. Bryan is ready to defend. " The Democratic and Populist plat forms attack the supreme court. They say it does not render equita ble decisions, and yet the supreme court represents one of the bulwarks of our liberty. It is composed of the most eminent men that can be found in the nation. It is a check upon the other departments of. gov ernment. Yet the delegates in con ventions assembled assume to know more than the learned justices of the j supreme court." And this Mr. Bryan is ready to defend. Iu fine, Mr. Bryan is ready to tie. fend any proposition which i con trary to the welfare of the nation He is a free coiner, a free trader an anything for office. And, candidly does he represent one single measure which will inure to the benefit of the American people? We think not. BLAND'S O VTRAGEO US SERTION. . AS- Richard Parks Bland, substitute jawsmilh, stood upon the platform of a railway; car yesterday at Al toona. Pa., and told some untruths Jo the horny-handed sons of toil who had trooped down to the station to stare at vouns Mr. Bryan. One of the fibs, says the Telegram, uttered bv "Silver Dick" was contained iu the statement that under the mone tarv svstem advocated bv him the laboring people of the country would have plenty of work and not be compelled to tramp for work." Just how such a desirable state of affairs would be brought about by the fiee and unlimited coinasc of silver at the ratio ot 16 to 1 was not ex plained, but the bare assertion was of itself sufficient to provoke "great applause and loud cheers." Before this campaign is over the workingmen of Altoona will proba bly be convinced that they applauded the rankest kind Of demagog-. When the other side of the case is fairly presented to them they may won Jer how they could have been so foolish as to approve a statement that was a direct slap at the face ot fact and recent experience. They will be made to realize that free sil ver coinage, instead of stimulating the demand for labor, would throttle the life out of it. Three years ago those men of Al toona saw finance, commerce and in dustry violently disturbed by a fear that the government would not be able to maintain gold payments and that our cun ency would descend to a silver basis. They saw banks fail ing, great commercial houses unable to meet their obligations, credit se riously impaired, the operations of industry interrupted, mills and fac tories closed and tens of t,housands of laborers thrown out of employ ment. All that panic andj distress was caused by a mere doubt ns to the kind of monej' we intended to use. What, then, do these workmen of Altoona think would be the con sequences of a deliberate determina tion upon the part of all the people to adopt silver monometalisni as a permanent system ? What would be the results of the actual passage of a tree coinage law? The imagination can scarcely conceive the deplorable condition of labor that would follow the announcement of such a policj . There is no aspect of the case in which wage-workers have anything to gain by the adoption of a si !ver standard, but they have everything to lose. They would lose ' in the value of all their savings, they would lose in the purchasing power of their wages, and, most of all, they would lose by the enforced idleness accom- panj'ing the business disturbance and bankruptcy which a radical depre ciation of our standard money would cieate. Unless the laboring man himself can be induced to forge his own chains, the political enslavement proposed by such specious pleaders as Bland cau never be inaugurated. FREE TRADE IN ENGLAND. Taking the U-.ited Kingdom, where free trade bns been longest in force, and her iron and steel industries, we find that the imports and exports of iron, steel, tin plate, wire, hardware, coal and machinery compare as fol lows for a period of ten years, from 1884-1894: 18M. 1S94. Total imports. . .. . 2S9,774,549 406,505.718 Total exports.. '.. lK2,927,o"5 :16,194,239 Tons. Tons. Total exports of iron and steel 3,496,352 2,056,125 Imports of iron and steel 121,S.v; 71,835 There has been nc wall of protec tion around the United Kingdom during this decade, and her' manu facturers have had every possible op portunity to let themselves out into the markets of the world, yet we find that the total British exports of iron, steel, tin plate, wire hardware, coal and machinery combined decreased by over $80,000,000 a year between 1884 and 1894. ' - v v " Jt would n'mosl seem as if the ab sence of, a wall of protection had worked entirely contrary to all free trade theories in England's case, be cause it has enabled tbe foreign man ufacturers and producers of iron, steel, tin plate, wire, hardware, coal aud machinery to sell in the English markets nearly 1100,000,000 worth more of theii products aud manu factures in 1894 than they did 1884. Free trade in England has increased the imports of the above mentioned goods by nearly 20,000,000 sterling and has ; decreased the exports by more than $ 1 0,000,000 sterling. The figures quoted are from the official board of trade returns. Taking the quantities of the Eng lish exports, we find that the United Kingdom has sold under its policy of free trade 840,000 tons less of irou and steel in 1894 than she did in 1884. Her exports of pig iron de creased by nearly 440,000 tons; of bar, angle, bolt and rod iron by nearly 170,000 tons; of railroad iron by 303,000 tons, and of hoops, sheets and plates she sold 219,000 tons less iu 1894 than in 1884. Her exports of railway carriages decreased in value from 504,315 in 1884 to 277,000 in 1894. Her exports of railway trucks declined by 254,000, her exports of hardware and cutlery fell off by 81,300,000 within ten years, and her exports of steam en gines decreased by 1,100,000 year. While England has lost so much money and so much trade in these industries during a few years of free trade, the United States, on the other hand, under its policy of protection, has built up similar industries to an enormous extent to such an extent that we are undoubtedly buying less of these commodities from our Eng lish neighbors aud have helped ma terially to diminish their manufact ures and their output. Perhaps this is the real reason why they wish us to drop our policy of protection. Bryan is a smooth man. He is an adept in making phrases. He knows how to say the right thing in the right place. He sizes ap his audi ence, finds out what they want, and "ives it to them. Consequently he is successful to n certain degree. You remember what Barnum the ecterprisiug circus man said : '-The American people like to be hum bugged ;" and so they do. Bryan is humbugging them. He tickles the fancy of those to whom he speaks. What recommendation has Bryan for the presidency? None whatever. He is a callow youth, to whom na ture gave .a volatile tongue. Is he the sort of a president this nation wants? Calmly think this over, and don't yote until you have considered it well. There is plenty of money in the country. Vast sums are lying idle because a lack of - confidence exists which forbids investment. No one will venture a risk when there is a possibility of receiving but half in return. This quotation from Speak er Reed's opening address illustrates the . point, and is worth remember ing;1 "Money always comes with capi tal. We have money now, more than we can use, lying idle. Money is the transferer of capital, as a hay rack and horse are a transferer of hay. More hayracks will never make more hay, but more hay will require more hayracks, and is sure to get them." - " The statistician has no place in this campaign. Figures cut no figure. You see the condition of things now and you remember what they were four years ago. How do you like the change? Bryan stands for bankruptcy, re pudiation and anarchism. McKin ley stands for protection, patriotism and progress. Which . will you choose? . ... . A good recommendation for Simmons Liver Regulator is, that it is purely vegetable and strongly tonic. Then too, it is better than Pills because easier to take in liquid or powder and with no griping, while the relief from Constipa tion, ' Biliousness, Sick Headache and Dyspepsia ia quick and sure. "I find Simmons' Liver Regulator a very safe and valuable, family medicine." Rev. J. M. Rollins, Fairfield, Va. Subscribe for Thb Chronicle. ( August 20th is the Last Day, The day set for the beginning of our Removal, and the end of our Great Sale. Until then every item in the store remains as it is: mm GREATLY REDUCED! ANOTHER DROWNING. Marcus Vanbibber Sinks Beneath tbe Columbia's fierce Current. The cruel Columbia baa swallowed up another victim. This time a youth just entering upon the threshold of maturity, bright and promising, and the hope of his parents, who had thrown around him every advantage that be might per petuate in honor the family name. Marcus Vanbibber was drowned about dusk last evening while swimming in a bay-like place in the river at the mouth of a slough four miles below The Dalles. Those who were swimming with him were Thos. Lorenzen,' Andrew Pearson. Will Sechler, Clem Whittle and a smaller bov who accompanied them. Marcus was a good swimmer, and for some reason struck out from tbe bay into the current of the river. " This cur rent skirts the bay and its line ot de marcation ie otherwise established by a precipice beneath the surface. A swim mer may step off a level into eighty feet of water, and the temperature of the water changes as suddenly from warm to cold. It was not the cold water which destroyed young Vanbibber bv giving him cramps, bat an unusually powerful current, which commenced to drag him underneath the moment he struck it. He realized bis danger at once ; tie per ceived his inability to battle against the fearful suction of the fierce current, and shouted twice for help. Seckler started to help him, and finding himself in al most the same perilous position as Van bibber, he in tarn shouted for a hand. Lorenzen, who was juBt within the bay, extended his hand just in time to save him from a like fate. The current must have been very powerful, for Lorenzen says he was almost pulled off his feet trying to draw Sechler out. Poor Mar cus Vanbibber was forced to give up the struggle and sank after a moment of heroic effort. He tried to reach the bay again, by stemming the current. It is thought that if he had swam with the current, he could have reached the bank lower down the river. He was an ac complished swimmer. Within a short time efforts were made to recover his body . with grappling books, but they were unsuccessful. This morning about daylight efforts were re sumed by Al and Walter Klindt with a sturgeon line, and the first cast was suc cessful. He was brought up about 20 feet from where he sank, one of the hooks catching him under the chin. The death has created an air of gloom over the city, as tbe young man was well known and universally esteemed. It will be a sad blow to the parents, who had centured their hopes in a bright career for Marcus, and had taken great pains with bis education to fit him for a ong and usetut life. Tbe funeral will occur bunday at o'clock p. m. from the residence on Chenoweth creek. . . i Mine Candidates for C'adetshlp. Nine applicants are being examined today by a board composed of C. L.

Vowell, auperin tendent of Indian affairs for British Columbia at that place, received two re ports from Robert Loring, hia agent at Hazelton, near the bead of the Skeena river, of tbe passing of a balloon over that far northern part on July 3d, the airship traveling north and being seen first during the day by an Iudian boy and later in the early evening, when it displayed a light, by a party of project ors under thejguidance of Chief Ghail.of the Kitspioux. Tbe balloon ia evident ly the same that passed over Winnipeg on July 1st, but whose it is and whence it came is yet an unfathomed mystery. Second Car of Peach Flams. The second car of plums fared . even better than the firat. A telegram was received today from Chicago that they Bold for $1 per crate, which ia the high est price ever yet received for that variety of fruit. The following shippers contributed to the carload : A. S. Ben nett, 244 crates ; E. Lane, 7 ; A. J. Lin ton, 29; Marshall Hill, 119; O. D. Tay lor, 70; A. Root, 262; Robt. Cooper, 144; total, 883. .
