PROTECTION AND FREE COINAGE
The merchant and the producer
who resides within our city limits
pays taxes upon his investment; the
transient peddler and hawker should
be compelled, if he Is not, to pay a
license for the privilege of selling
- the goods he has accumulated or
manufactured elsewhere, This is the
essential principle of the protective
tariff, and it has been demonstrated
so many times that the foreign pro
ducer pays the tax that there should
be no need of further discussion.
Under a high tariff in the United
. States the tin manufacturers of Wales
made nothing and the potato produc
ers of Canada and Nova Scotia had
mo market for the great surplus of
potatoes they produce, because they
-could not pay the importation tax
and make money. Our Democratic
rsilverite denounces the unfairness of
protecting the sheep industry and re
fusing to help, by law, the silver
mine owner. The Republican party
is willing to protect the mine owner
in the same way he does the sheep
man, but it will never consent tc say
to the mine owner or any other class,
you may cam pel your creditor to
take a coin bearing the government
stamp which is of less value than the
dollar you received. It has always
been and always will be a funda
mental principle of the Republican
party to pay as we agreed to pay.
The advocate of free coinage in
sists that the demand to be created
by a free coinage law will enhance
the price of silver and bring it to or
near a parity with gold. If this be
so how will laborers and farmers be
able to get it any easier than they
cai now get gold ? But the experi
ence of France disproves this con-
, tention. Prior to 1853 France was
on a silver basis, gold having gone
' out of circulation because of a pre
mium of about 1 per cent; in 1853
a demand for silver for export from
Europe to India raised the commer
cial value of silver to a premium
and France began the coinage of
gold. For five 3-ears she coined 80
per cent of the world's product and
ve.t gold during that time depreciated
one per cent. In 1859 she coined
$130,000,000, whictiwas $10,000,000
' in excess of the entire product of the
world for that year, and yet the price
continued to fall and at the close of
that year was 2 . per cent below par
of silver.
In the face of this the Popocrat
" and Populist declare that we can be
. independent of the world and raise
the value of silver 47 per cent by
: opening our mints- A man upon a

1 In 1868 the Democratic party. ; de
clared that when the obligations
of the government do "not ex
pressly provide that they shall
be paid in coin, "they ought is right
and justice to be paid in the lawful
money of the United States." "One
currency for jhe government and the
people, the laborer and the office
holder, the pensioner and the soldier,
the producer and the bondholder." .
Their next declaration was in 1874 :
"The public credit mnst be sacredly
maintained and' we, denounce repu
diation in every form and guise." -
In 1876 they said: "Reform is
necessary to establish a sound' cur
rency, restore the public credit and
maintain the national honor."
In 1880: "Honest monej'-the
maintainance of the public faith
consisting of goid and silver and
paper convertible into coin on de
mand ; the strict maintenance of the
public faith, state and national."
In 1892: , "We denounce the Re
publican legislation ' known as the
Sherman Act of 1890.
We hold to the use of both gold and
silver as the standard money of the
country, and to the coinage of both
sold and silver without discriminat
ing against either metal or charge of
mintage, but the dollar unit of coin
age for both metals must be of equal
intrinsic and exchangeable value or
be adjusted through international
agreement or by such safeguards ofJ
legislation as shall insure the main
tenance of the parity of the two met
als and the equal power of every
dollar at all times in the markets and
in p3-ment of debts, and we demand
that all paper currency shall be kept
at par with and redeemable in such
coin." .
Today they offer us free and un
limited coinage of silver at an arbi
trary ratio. Upon this important
question they have not been consist
ent in the past and they propose a
new experiment which history and
reason declare is most unsafe and un
wise. ; .
Upon the other hand the Republi
can f arty has always stood where it
stands todajr; in 1886 the Republican
platform denounced "all forms of
repudiation as a national crime; and
the national honor requires the pay
meut of the public indebtedness . in
the uttermost good faith to all cred
itors, at home and abroad, not only
according to the letter, but the spirit
of the laws under which it was con
tracted," and it never has deserted
that position and never will. ,
Mr. Bryan's speeches are now re
solved into this: "If gold mono
metalisra is desirable why are the
gold bugs Irying to get the world to
adopt bimetalism?" In the first
place we are not contending for the
sole use of gold. We are using to
day almost as much silver as gold
and under the plan of the Republi.
can party will continue to do so; in
fact the proportion ot silver . has
greatly increased since 1873. In the
second place,Republicans do not and
will not ask other nations to adopt
bimetalism at the ratio of f16 to 1 or
any ratio other than what the bullion
value of the two meta.'s willwarrant.
That is all there is to this "Boy's"
unanswerable question. '
Honor to whom honor is due.
Why is it that the other members of
the state portage commission fail to
stand in with Secretary Kincaid and
see that the interest of our people is
cared for, and that the dignity of the
state is maintained ? The eople of
Eastern Oregon have a right to know
why the state portage railway is to be
sidetracked ' and the people's line
forced to make, their transfei under
the most difficult embarrasments?
Secretary Kincaid would relieve1 this
if he had his way about it. ,
Ex-President Harrison makes the
financial question so plain that none
who wish to understand need be con
fused.' : There is very little ; talk
about crowns or thorns, or bowing to
the yoke of foreign power. Butit
abounds . in reason., , logic common
sense and the wisdom of an experi
enced statesman. .' '. -.

their eyes to the fact that lack of em-.
Dlovment and listi ess anions the la
boring classes is preceded always "by
lack of employmentof capital. They
forget that every interest of capital
and the capitalist is enhanced when
labor is profitably employed. ";
"THE MONEY OF THE CONSTITV
. . ' .TION." , . .' '
Congress shall have power to coin
money, regulate the value thereof,
and of foreign coin, and fix the
standard of weights and measures.
(Art. I. Sec. 8 Subdiv 5.) No state
shall coin money, em it bills
of credit, make anything but gold
and silyer coin a tender id payment
of debts; pass any law . .. im
pairing the obligation of contracts.
(Art. I. Sec. 10 Subdiv i.) The
above are the only constitutional pro
visions relating to the ' money or
coinage questions. Nowhere does it
declare what shall be monej', what
metal shall be used for coiuage pur
poses whether one, two or, three
metals nor what shall be the lela
tive weight, fineness or value of the
coins, should more than one metal be
used. Neither gold, silver or copper
is mentioned in that section of the
constitution which authorizes con
gress to coin money. Iron money,
if we had any, would be just as truly
fmonfcyof the constitution" as silver
or gold.. ,
Congress shall regulate the value
of the coin it may mint. The con
stitution nowhere indicates that con
gress shall, may or can regulate the
relative value in case two or more
metals are used. Congress has never
attempted to do this, although it has
several times declared what amount
of gold, silver, nickel or copper the
respective coins shall contain, and to
what extent theee coins shall be a
lawful tender for the payment of an
obligation. '
No state shall make anything but
gold and silver coin a tender in pay
ment of debts. Congress has the ex
clusive power to declare what shall
be a legal tender. Nothing in the
constitution requires congress, to
make both gold and silver a legal
tender. It has frequently declared
different kinds of money gold, sil
ver, nickel, copper and United States
notes a legal tender; but the latter
were never made a legal tender for
any obligations except those to the
United States until the Act of Feb
ruary 26, 1862.
We have heard it urged that con
gress could not make gold or silver a
legal tender because the constitution
says "gold and silver." The consti
tution says nothing as to what con-,
gress may declare to be a legal ten
der, but does prohibit any state from
making anything but gold and silver
legal tender. The legal tender qual- j
ity of all our money has alwaj's been
determined by congress. Any laws
which the states may have passed has
not affected this quality.
A gentleman of average intelli
gence, who has read less than he has
heard, recently said in our presence :
"I believe in the free coinage of sil
ver at 16 to 1 because the constitu
tion so directs." As a matter of fact,
there is no "money of the constitu
tion" within the meaning of the Pop
ocrat and Populist. ,
If the election of McKinley could
be today assured, money, that is now
hoarded for fear of a change in the
value of the legal tender, would seek
employment and go into circulation,
investments would be in demand,
county and state obligations would
no longer hunt a buyer. If the elec
tion of' Bryan was today assured,
gold would go to a premium and out
of circulation immediately, and we
would'be doing business from now
on upon a silver basis. Open ac
counts .would be paid in a depreciated
silver currency and most of the.
mortgages upon lands in this state
would have to be paid - in gold
bought at. a premium. : .Merchants
who have extended "credit to any
considerable degree -would be com
pelled to go into insolvency. ' ,
These results -would come" imme
diately and. without the alteration of
a law or even the assembling of con
gress. :'" ' - . '- ;

Mayor Pennoyer promised a "busi

because he and his friends claimed
that he would so manage the city's
affairs as to give the best, possible

taxpayers. His best friends must
concede he has not and is not do

been lead from the path of integrity

Thin Is Repudiation.
The PopocraU protest against being
called repudiators, but they, persist in
preaching repudiation. Their platform
is a repudiation platform and their or
gans editorially indorse repudiation.
What else is this, which formed an edi
torial in the Omaha World-Herald, and
was printed before Candidate Bryan re
tired from the editorship of that paper :
"Every one who has money at his dis
posal can protect himself against loss
through free silver by converting his
money into, land, houses and merchan
dise of various kinds. If, besides, be
borrows more money and uses it for
the purpose, he will make a profit on
the transaction at the expense of the
man from whom he borrows." .
Every ' word 'of the foregoing para
graph was printed in capital letters, to
make it more emphatic. It is direct ad
vice co men to become dishonest.' Every
free silver man is urged to contract
debts and "make a profit on the trans
action at the expense of the man from
whom he borrows." - This advice is es
pecially significant because it appears in
the newspaper of which Bryan . was
editor for several years, and before that
journal had announced his retirement,
Popocrats have objected to the stern
words of clergymen who are taking an
active part in this . campaign, but . how
can clergymen be silent when dishonesty
is thus boldly advocated? PittBburg

THE CASE OF A PARALYTIC WHOSE NERVES WERE SO NOURISHED

From the Oourier-Herald, Sapinaw, Mich,
Do yoa see those two men walking up the
street? One has a vigorous, firm, elastic
step, his head well up, his ejea bright a
picture of a sound and perfect man... The
other is bent, his knees weak and unsteady,
a listless air about his whole make-up. He
has the appearance of one who is broken in
health and who has to whip himself to every
task. The difference between these two men
is a difference of nerve power. With nerve
power comes energy, enterprise, force, vigor
all things which make existence enjoy
able; without it the muscles cannot act, the
brain cannot think. Bear in mind that life
is nerve power, aud if you wish to keep it
you must feed the nerves. Do not simply
stimulate them, but coax them feed them.
Give them the food which will renew their
life and make, them sound and healthy, that
they may ward off disease.
Probably paralysis is the nearest disease to
nerve-death that we know, and we therefore
cite a case of it below, to show what a cer
tain famous nerve-building preparation can
do to feed and absolutely restore almost
hopelessly wasted nerves.

W. H. Dawson,
618 Union Avenue. Sacinaw. Mich.. West
Side. It is here that the hand of sickness
has fallen heavily and caused a man to be
come widely known and extremely pitied.
It is the hand of fate that often nips in the
bud that which nature has started with the
greatest predictions for the future. Until
three years ago W. H. Dawson has known
but little of sickness and pain but the last
few years have brought with them untold
suffering. With many doctors taxing their
brains for something that might benefit, all
remedies known to the scientific medicine
man were anDlied and without avail. The pa
tient meanwhile faded and became worse
but still lingered to fulfill a wonderful mis
sion which will be the cause of less suffering
among his fellow creatures. It was that un
seen hand directing all things who permitted
this one man to live in misery so that the
World might become enlightened.
To hear the pitiful story of one who has
suffered who could not move a muscle for
one whole year and who is now convalescent
through the aid of a wonderful medium
might lead one to believe that miracles are
performed in this day and age. They are,
but not as in times of old. This time it is
through the hand of man that life is
restored. '
" Until the fall of '92," said Mr. Dnwson,
to a reporter. "I was as hearty and as full of
life and vigor as any young nmu could hope
to be, in fact sickness was then unknown to
me. About this time I was taken sick with
la grippe and after having two relapses my
spine became affected. This trouble grew
worse rapidly and in March of '93 I was
completely paralyzed from my waist down.
Having taken everything my doctors could
prescribe without any effects, I decided to go
to the Indiana State Institute at Indianapo
lis hoping to receive at least some benefit
from their specialists. I was there for a
period of ten months during which time I
was taken sick with scarlet fever .which left
tne in a worse condition than ever before.

the expense was entirely too great for me to
entertain thoughts of staying there longer.
The most annoying period of my existence
was lived after my return to Saginaw. I
sometimes prayed that my worthless life
might be taken away that my suffering might
be ended and that the care 1 was to others
might be brought to a close. I did not then
dream that God had yet a mission for me to
fulfill. That work which I can now put all
my soul into with which my being is thrill
ing, is proclaiming to sick and suffering hu
manity the wonders of Dr. Williams Pink
Pills. They have given me new life.
" It was in April of '.94 that a friend told
me of the Dr. Williams' Pink Pills and
asked me to try them. I had no faith in
anything, in fact my life was now burden
some and I hated to take anything that
might chance to prolong it. I was at length
persuaded and the pills were obtained.'
When I began taking them I was pale, .
weak, helpless and almost without life, as
before stated, was completely paralyzed from
my waist down, my limbs were simply bones
and skin with no life or feeling in ttiem and
had been so for one year. Before the first
box was used I could move my toes a little
and could begin to feel new life all through .
me. This was encouraging and I continued
to use these marvelous pellets.
"In two months time I could move my -limbs
about on the bed and by the time
another month had seen me swallow this
medicine, to which I owe my life, I was able
to get ont of bed alone. It has been just
about one year since I learned of Dr. Wil- .
Hams' Pink Pills and during that time I
have made such marked improvement that I
gladly proclaim what they have done for me
to all the world and ask you fellow sufferers
to try them and receive new life. My life,
my all, I owe to Dr. Williams' Pink Pills.
"I am now comparatively fleshy with
good color and high spirits, and every day .
brings new strength and more happy life
throught the continued use of Dr. Will ams
Pink Pills." - W, H. DAWSON.

The foregoing is but one of many wonder
ful cures that have been credited to Dr. Wil
liams' Pink Pills for Pale People. Diseases
which heretofore have been supposed to be
incurable, such as locomotor ataxia and pa
ralysis succumb to this wonderful medicine
as readily as the most triding ailments. In -many
cases the reported cures have been
investigated by the leading newspapers and
verified in every possible manner and in no
case has the Iea.it semblance of fraud been
discovered. Their fame has spread to the
far ends of civilization and there is hardly a
drug store in this country or abroad where
they cannot be found.
Dr. Williams' Pink Pills contain, in a .
condensed form, all the elements necessary ,
to give new life and richness to the blood
and restore shattered nerves. They are an
unfailing specific for such diseases as loco
motor ataxia, partial paralysis, St. Vitus'
dance, seiatica, neuralgia, rheumatism, nerv
ous headache, the after effect of la grippe,
palpitation of the heart, pale and sallow
complexions, all forms of weakness either in
male or female. Pink Pills are sold by all
dealers, or will be sent post paid on receipt
of price, (50 cents a box, or six boxes for
$2.50 they are never sold in bulk or by the
100) by addressing Dr. William Medicina .
