J. H. MITCHELL OF OSPN
THE SENATOR ADDRESSES A LARGE
AUDIENCE AT THE TOOT.
Hundreds Turned Away Unable to Gain
Admission A Forcible and
Convincing; Speech.
The audience that assembled at the
Vogt last night is conceded by old'
timers to be the largest political audience
that ever gathered in The Dalles. The
large ball waa taxed to ita full capacity
and then proved inadequate by far to
hold the vast number who came to near
Oregon's greatest public man today,
Senator J. H. Mitchell. When the band
and drum corps entered the ball, fol
lowed by hundreds of citizens, shortly
before 8 o'clock, the audience room was
found to be three-fourths fall. Only the
vanguard, as it were, of the trailing
crowd were fortunate enough to secure
admission. Arriving in the hall, it was
found to be moat beautifully and expen
sively decorated. Gay streamers of bunt
ing depended from the center of the ceil-:
ing to the four corners and the sides,
The speaker's stand was draped with a
mammoth American flag, and a full
length portrait of Eon. Wm. McKinley
was placed at the top of the proscenium,
directly over the speaker's bead. The
stage was occupied by local leaders of
the party, amopgthem Mr. L. E. Crowe,
president of the McKinley club, ex-Governor
Moody, Mayor Menefee, Hon. E.
L. Smith, Hon. Robt. Mays, Messrs. W.
H. Wilson, J. H. Sherar, W. S. Myers,
Geo. W. Johnston, H. S. Davidson, S.
L. Brooks, F. W. Wilson, M. T. Nolan,
G. J. Farley, J. M. Patterson, B. 8.
Huntington,N. B. Sinnott, W. H. H. Da
fur and Rev. W. C. Curtis. There
was besides a score or more of
ladiea and gentlemen, comprising the
chorua, which opened the evening by a
patriotic and thrilling - campaign 8ong.
Being fittingly introduced by Mr. L. E.
Crowe, Senator Mitchell advanced to
the front of the stage, and waa greeted
with an ovation of applause. '
The senator began by saying that he
did not believe that the vast audience
before him bad assembled merely for the
purpose of paying him a compliment,
but it merely indicated their determina
tion to roll up an unprecedented major
ity on November 3d for Wm. McKinley.
Before beginning bis political discussion,
he spoke of the growth of the city, com
paring it to what it waa 36 years ago,
when lie first saw it. Speaking of the
locks he suid he waa here to congratulate
the people upon the near approach of
their opening to free navigation, that
this end would be accomplished within
a month. He bad noticed a question
in the local press (The Chronicle) ask
ing him to explain what provision had
been made for their opening. He said
that that part of it would take care of it
self. When a great work like this had
become ready to .be operated, there
would be ample money for the purpose.
If any trouble should occur, it will be
but a short time until congress meets,
and a joint resolution can be got through
at a very early date.
The senator then turned his attention
to the issues of the campaign. He
stated that ihe Republican party waa
ready to meet the money question face
to face and there wonld be ho beating
around the bush. As far as he was in
dividually concerned, while the money
is an important issue, there are others
which are paramount prominent among
which is that principle which relates to
the protection of American homes,
American industries and American
labor. He described the struggle of our
countrymen when they were colonists to
be due from a deprivation of personal
liberty, and the war of independence
which followed was to free ourselves
from the industrial oppression of Great
Britain. The government which fol-
iowea lastea oat six years, then came a
convention. of colonists which drafted
our present grand constitution, it being
found that we .were yet commercial
slaves to the mother country, bv reason
of not having proper tariff safeguards, to
keep out foreign manufactures and con
sume the home product. It is a plain
matter of history which all may see,
that under a protective policy our nation
haa alwaya enjoyed prosperity, and
under free trade the reverse has been
true. He challenged anyone in the au
dience to contradict this statement, that
under a protective policy we have always
had prosperity and peace, and that
under the opposite policy opposite re
sults followed. He then went on to
recite some historical instances. The
first fifty-nine years of our national ex
istence was under a protective tariff.
Prosperity was widespread. Exports
largely exceeded imports. Then came a
period of free trade until' 1842, a period
of stagnation, bankruptcy, business fail
ures and general destitution. Then
came the protective tariff of 1842; pros
penty again ; exports exceeded imports
by $64,000,000. Polk and Dallas waa
next elected and under them a free trade
policy by the repeal of the protective
tariff of 1842. Fourteen years of distress
followed. The imports from foreign
countries exceeded exports bv $492,500,
000. Protection waa reinstated in 1876
and for the fourteen yeara following ex
ports over imports amounted to $1,450.-
000,000 and industry and prosperity
again reigned. When the Republican
party took bold of the greatest rebellion
of modern times it grappled it courage
ously and successfully. The war cost
1,000,000 precious lives and ten thous
and millions of money, and when it was
concluded there was a great national
debt to pay of three thousand million
dollars. In twenty-eight yeara of power
it had $1,900,000,000 of this debt paid.
Interest ratea of 12 per cent under
Buchanan fell to 2 percent under Harri
son. The Republican party not only did
thi8, but it made millions and millions
of dollars of paper money equal to
gold.
"This," said the senator, "brings me
to the financial question, and on this I
claim to stand where 1 have always
stood. I have nothing to take back,
and if any one in the audience can point
to one of my speeches a whole speech
and charge me with inconsistency I want
him to do it now, and I will have some
thing to say about the railroad to Mara,
too. The Republican partv, from its
birth np to the present time, haa never
deaired nor advocated ns a permanent
policy, the single gold standard. It has
always advocated the bimetallic stan
dard both gold and sifver. The Demo
cratic party never did anything for sil
ver, and the Republican party baa done
a great deal. The Republican platfoi m
of 1896 merely assumes a fact that we
have the gold standard. But it pledges !
itself to re-establish the bimetallic
standard, and there ia only one way to
do it by international agreement with
the leading commercial nations of the
world, and the party pledges itself
to do all in Ita power to bring it about
by an international agreement. It is
no difference, where I stand. I am not
an issue. We are trying to elect a presi
dent and we are going to do it. (Tre
mendous applause). But I claim to
stand with my party even on the finan
cial question. I have always contended
that if there was any chance to settle
the financial question by international
agreement, that is the way to do it. I
said last January that there waa no
more chance of securing an inter
national agreement than there was
of building a railroad to the planet
Mars. That waa true when J said it.
The conditions are different now. Then
Cleveland was in power and he had no
desire to bring this end about. He
stands unequivocally for the mainten
ance of the single gold standard. On
the other hand Bryan proposes to es
tablished the bimetallic policy without
this agreement. It cannot be done.
Therefore neither wing of the Democrat
ic party tias a feasible remedy. The
only way to get it is through the Repub
lican party, which pledges itself to do
all In ita power to promote an interna
tional agreement. England is now mak
ing a move to this end. Never since
1816, when Eng and first adopted the
gold standard, has it showed a disposi
tion to adopt bimetallism until March
17th lust, when the house of common'
passed two resolutions, the first tliat.ow
ing to the instahility of the relative value
of irold and silver since 1873, it has
pmved injurious to the Interests of the
country. The tecond that we urge npon
the government the advisability of doing;
all in its power to secure by internation
al agreement the free coinage of both
gold and silver. When these resolutions
were presented to the Cleveland admin
istration it stood mute. If the Repub
lican adini iistratioti had been in power
at this time we may have succeeded."
One of flie strongMflt points scored by
Senator Mitchell was tils delineation of
the wond-ifnl an. I unexampled pros
perity of 1892, nnder Harrison, and the
fearful distress and disaster of 1893
under Cleveland, while the same finan
cial policy waa in effect throughout both
years.
The senator than followed with an
earnest appeal to hia silver Republican
friends that in view of the princip'ea of
reciprocity, of protection, and with the
chance of securing an international
agreement, is it not better io stand by
the old party and th'-oM banner, instead
of turning their lcka to it to go off with
one wine of the Democratic party? In
coiu-lui-ion the senator calif d for an ex
pression of sentiment of the honse by
asking all who proposed to vote the Re
publican tn-ket 10 stand up and give
three ronsing rheers for McKinley. Al
most with one Rceora, and like a lineo
wave, men and even women and child
ren arose and dwelled the volume of
sound to a mightv roar,while the senator.
with an expression of treat gratification
in hia eyes, bowed rapeatediy to the en
thusiastic audience, and the great meet
ing was ended.
Senator Mitchell waa possessed of a
noticeable hoarseness from making so
many speeches of late which at times
nteifered with hisclearenunciation. He
look the nieht train for Pendleton,
where he will apeak tonieht. Chairman
L. E. Crowe whs also indisposed and it
was with considerable effort he was able
to he present, hut he did not betray his .
indisposition find made a thoroughly
neat and pleasinn speech ot introduction.
The Wasco Warehouse Co. begs leave
