"It 'is immaterial, in my judgment,
whether the sheep grower receives any ben
efit from llie tariff or not. ,
Wlielher 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
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.

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

Will Not Be First.
If Mr. Parrot of Goldendale succeeds
in making hia airabip navigable, he will
not be tbe first, according to a dispatcb
from Victoria. A. W. 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.
