' THE PROSPEROUS PERIOD.
During the thirty jreais prior to
1873 is fixecTby the Popocrats as the
period of our greatest prosperity.
About their only reason for this
. claim is that we did not borrow so
much money as during the twenty
years following 1873. Did it ever
occur to our Popocratic triends that
the period of our greatest advance
inent in science and commerce was
from' 1873 to 1893. During that
time the whole science of electricity,
as applied to mechanics, was devel
oped; the horse cars were displaced
with the trollej and electric motor;
the method of lighting our cities was
wholly altered by electric appliances;
we constructed during that time two
entire transcontinental railroads and
a large portion of two others, at an
enormous expenditure of capital; we
extended connecting . lines of rail
roads all over the United States; we
increased the railroad mileage of the
country 250 per cent; we decreased
the expense of railroad transporla
lion more than one-half; we settled
up and improved a vast territory
along the lines of our great transcon
tinental, railroads a work alone in
volving the expenditure of an m
calculable amount ot money: we
built up great cities in placets which
were out a wilderness in JS i d: we
made greater strides in wealth, com
merce, science and education than
any nation ever made during the
same length of time. And all this
was under the present financial sys
tem.
The sheep industry is one among
- a thousand business enterprises that
need to have protection against an
unnatural and ruinous competition,
and Major McKinley is pledged to
see that all interests have (heir
rights. But of all the various en
terprises and interests that will call
his attention the cause of labor will
be first and foremost. Major Mc
Kinley will not be satisfied until
every wage earner has all the oppor
tunity he wants to employ his skill
and muscle at wages that shall am
ply remunerate him. San Francisco,
Cal, Chronicle, September 16, 1896
Candidate Bryan is avoiding the
tariff question in his speeches. There
is good reason fcr this avoidance,
lie was one of the makers of the
Wilson-Gorman act, . and defended
it on the floor of the house in 1891.
It was his opinion then that the
measure was a great boon to the
people of the United States, a relief
from onerous taxation and what the
free trade professors choose to call
the robbery of protection. He sup
posed that he had performed a great
service when he helped to force the
bill through congress, but the event
showed that he was entirely mistaken
and wholly ignorant of the industrial j
life of this country. His bill brought
widespread ruin and poverty ; . so he
is not saying anything about it now.
Rochester, N. Y., Democrat and
Chronicle, September 22, 1 896.
No one can predict, with any de
gree of certainty, the result of the
coming election. "We feel confident
that Mr. McKinley will carry New
England, New York, New Jersey,
Pennsylvania, Ohio, Illinois, Michi
gan, Wisconsin ana Minnesota, ana
if so he will be elected without.a
Pacific state or a southern state,
But no sound money man in Oregon
should for a moment conclude that
his presence at the polls is unneces
sary ; he should from this time on
arrange his affairs so that nothing
will keep him from voting his con
victions on November 3d. There
is great importance to be placed in
the size of the majority, and Oregon
should be content not with barely
escaping the name of Populism, but
our declaration should be so strong
that this contest will be the last one
in this state upon this question.
Our Democratic friends are in
sisting that the Republicans have
claimed that the price of wheat has
gone up because McKinley is likely
to be elected. We have never made
such a claim, and no sane man will
do so. "We insist that the shortage
in the crop in Russia and over our
own coutry is forcing the price up;
this and nothing more. Neither
silver legislation nor tariff laws will
affect the price of wheat, because
Liverpool fixes the price, or more
correctly, the competition among the
sellers and buyers in the Liverpool
market fixes the price of wheat.
Mr. "Watson says: "I have min
gled among the people in this cam
paign more informally than any of
the candidates or any of their man
agers, and I know that Populist re
sentment at the manner in which
their party is being wrecked by mere
place-hunters jeopardizes' Mr. Bryan
most seriously." Mr. Watson real
izes that he has been everywhere
sidetracked and disregarded by the
paity who cares less for principle
than for office, and his "kicking'-' is
natural. Brj'an cannot expect the
Populist support.
Some weeks ago The Chronicle
declared that no party can afford to
win at this election by means of de
ception or misrepresentation. Thus
far we have been called upon almost
daily to refute misstatements of the
Popocratic press and speakers; bui
there seems to bt no cessation of this
kind of campaigning. The appeals
to prejudice are just as objectionable
and dishonest as any other kind of
deception. If Brj'an wins in Oregon
it will not be by honest or fair
means.
Wheat goes up. -Why? Because
there is a shortage in the crop in
Russia. Silver contiuues to go clown.
Why ? Because the holders of bull
ion do not believe Bryan is going to
be elected or that there is to be any
immediate change in the laws re
specting the coinage ot silver, and
because the supply continues very
large.
Governor Penuoyer stated in Spo
kane that he saw a chance to do
some good for the ticket, and there
fore made speeches at The Dalles and
Pendleton, If he served the Re
publican cause as well at Pendleton
and Spokane as at The Dalles, we
shall sincerely regret to have him
carry out his promise to quit cam
paigning.
The Brj auites claim that Bryan's
election is sure. There are no spott
ing men in their ranks or there would
be a vast amount of betting. Possi
bly it is the lack of confidence more
than piety which keeps their funds in
their pockets.
The Dalles has a good public
school system, and hence its schools
are growing in usefulness. Our city
is growing, but we think the growth
of the city does not account entirely
for the large attendance of scholars.
There was enly $8,125,088 deficit
in the postal service last year, as
against $9,805,044 the year before.
Under the Republican administration
the postoffice department was prac
tically self-supporting. f
THE BEST 4DVISER.
' If. a man who had never given
much attention to farming was to
commence business as a farmer his
neighbors would pronounce him a
fool should he go for instruction to
a farmer whose business was con
ducted in a slip-shod maimer; whose
fences were all out of repair; whose
buildings were dilapidated; whose
implements were scattered; whose
crops were- never properly planted,
or were never harvested at the right
season. Common sense would teach
the learner that such a farmer was
a poor counselor.
But when it comes to settling a
question of finance a question which
may affect the history of the nation
for years, wc are quite apt to listen
to the man who has never been able
to manage his own business so as to
meet the debts he has contracted.
How many men are ' there today in
this and other states who are stand
ing upon the streets preaching free'
silver who are now incapable of pay
ing their debts and who, during their
entire lives, have never had a bink
account or drawn a check? Theii
own business has been neglected, as
business managers they are confess-
edly failures, and yet when it comes
to a matter of national financeering
they pose as advisers. The .men who
have trained themselves to careful
business habits, whose minds have
been directed especially to careful
business methods, and who conse
quent' have accumulated sorre
thing for themselves and their fami
lies, are denounced as plutocrats and
gold bugs, as the leeches of society.
If they chance to offer advice as to
what is the wisest business course to
pursue, they are declared to be the
enemies of the laboring man, seeking
to ress upon labor a crown of
thorns.
What is the distinction between
the farmer who never succeeded ir
farming as a teacher of farmings and
the man who never, had business
ability to provide means to pay his
honest debts as a teacher of finance?
WISE FOOLS.
The questions to be settled by the
approaching election are of the high
est importance to every individual,
and no voter should go to the po.'ls
uncertain as to how he should vote.
The ablest speakers of all parties are
in the field, and every community is
given an oppoitunity of hearing the
issues discussed- No man can afford
to remain away from these discus
sions; every man owes it to himself
ind to his country to hear what is to
be said in opposition, as well as in
support, of his own views. Voters
are prone to avoid every meeting
held under the auspices of, the orpos
ing parly, lest his presence might ap
pear to lend encouragement to the
opponent's cause. This is but the
policy of a wise fool. If our views
of the issues will deter us from hear
ing both sides fairly and candidly,
there .is something wrong with them,
and every man owes it to himself
and to his country to hear all that
can be said for or against the views
we have already formed; if these
views will not bear the test of a free
discussion, they are unsafe.
The people of Wasco county will
soon have an opportunity of hearing
men of national reputation. Let
every voter who can possibly reach
The Dalles lay aside his ordinary
business, give one day to politics and
hear what is said by these men. A
vote on the wrong side will be de
plored for four years. Therefore,
before voting make 6ure you are
voting as wisdom, not as ignorauce
or prejudice, dictates.
The Democrats have sent to
Wasco county five or six of their
ablest campaigners. Not one of
these men has attempted to make an
argument or give a good reason why
the policy of protection should be
abandoned or why the policy of free
silver should be adopted. Every
one. has talked about the money
changers and the plutocrats, but none
have presented a fact or an argu
ment supporting the prejudices to
which they appealed. Denunciation
is pleasing to many men, but in the
settlement of a great national policy
is contemptible and nothing more.
Yet hundreds of. men will go to hear
a speech ' consisting simply of vitu-
peration and invective, and never go t
near a speaker who presents to his
audience history, reason, experience
and indisputable facts.
Every living man who was in con
gress when the act of 1873 was
passed who has thus far been heard
from, has declared that the act was
fully understood. Ex -Secretary
Boutwed adds his testimony to that
of many others, and all declare that
the talk about a "crime" is absolute
ly false..
In 1892 the Chicago Herald said:
"Vote for' Cleveland and $1.25 for
wheal." Now the same party is say
ing: "Vote for Bryan and $1 for
wheat." We are. just as likely to
see the latter promise fulfilled as ve
did the former.
Petty Business.
The Hon. F. X. Schoomaker of New
Jersey, who speaks in The Dalles on the
20th, ia looked upon as the ablest expo
nent of the financial question who is
likely to appear on the Pacific coast
He has gone deeply into the matter and
is a specialist upon that question. The
Republicans, who have carried on a per
fectly fair campaign np to date, are
deeply grieved that the other side baa
seen fit to attempt to draw the people
away from him by putting up on the
same night one of their most sensation
al speakers, Pitchfork Tillman of South
Carolina, who for cario3ity alone, to see
and bear a genuine anarchist, many would
naturally go to see. The effort ought to
prove a boomerang. We believe that
the fair-minded and thinking public
will see this scheme in its trae light
and choose to hear wisdom instead of
the fiery words of anarchy. The Re
publicans would have been glad to listen
to Hon. C. W. Fulton laet evening, and
might have done so had they not pos
ceased that regard for the rights of the
other side, as Mr. Butler waa billed in
advance. .
. . Yhe Colored Brother's Prayer.
The following prayer is said to have
been actually delivered by an aged
colored minister in Virginia a few days
ago.
"O Lord, save this country, from the
hands of them who are trying to bust it
up.. Give us plenty of work and good
motley for it, so we can take care of our
wives and children, and buy good- bread
and meat and pay for it. We want to
keep politics out of churches and out of
our prayer meeting?, but we can't help
aeking thee to keep a lookout for that
poor miserable sinner, Bryan, who we
hear ia coming into the state hand in
hand with Satan. . We aek thee don't let
him do no harm, and, if it ain't asking
too much, please forgive his sins that he
is committing every day, and then knock
the stuffin' out of him next November."

Btltchell at Dafor.
The epsech of Senator Mitchell last
evening constituted the biggest event in
Dufurof the campaign. Citizens from
all over the county assembled in the
public hall there to the number of 500.
Ten were present from The Dallea. We
are told that upon thia occasion Senator
Mitchell was at his beet. At times be
was interrupted by questions. Some of
them were evidently stated to disconcert
him, but his replies were so ready, so
forcible, at'id eo entirely satisfactory to
the audience, that theee tactics were
eoon abandoned. There waa a manifest
intention early In the speech on the
part of the Bryan forces to turn it into a
Bryan meeting, bat unfortunately for
them, the effort waa reactionary and the
meeting proved to be the moat enthusi
astic Republican event of the campaign.
At times the cheering was tremendous,
and as point alter point was 'scored by
our brainy senator, the enthusiasm grew
until it reached the boiling point.
When ttie" senator asked for an expres
sion of the unnds of the audience, a
conservative estimate places the num
ber who rose for McKinley as' from two
thirds to three-fourths of the whole
number.

A Ban Francisco Youth Swallow Strych
nine and Dies.
Sax Francisco, Oct. 15. Aided by
the hand of his sweetheart, Teesie
Moore, William T. Hamilton, a youth of
19 years, last evening mixed a bottle of
strychnine with' a glass of water, swal
lowed the potion, and within 15 minutes
lay dead at the feet of his sorrowing
love.
Last February Teesie Moore, now 16
years old, residijg at 1952J McAllister
street, and William T. Hamilton, then
18 yeara of age, residing at 504 Baker
atreet, engaged themselves to be mar
ried. Six months ago Hamilton's pa
rents refused their coaeent to the union.
This evening at 6 :30 o'clock " young
Hamilton called at the home of his affi
anced. He remained with her a few
minutes, and then went to the drug store
at McAllister and Baker streets and pur
chased a bottle of strychnine. Return
ing, he told Miss Moore that he had
bought a bottle of bromo seltzer. The
girl, believing what he eaid to be true,
led him to the kitchen, took from the
shelf a glass and placed It to receive the
powder. Into the glass Hamilton
poured the poison. Atttentive to her
lover's wants, Miss Moore procured for
him a spoon with which to mix the
drink. This done, Hamilton filled the
glass with water and with "here goes,
Teas," drank off the deadly draught, the
unsuspecting maiden lovingly watching
the while.

Nothing In It For Wage Earners.
Mr. Bryan bas claimed that the free
coinage of silver would benefit the
working people. How they would se'
core anything from the free coinage of
silver be doea not say, perhaps because
he does not know. It is certainly a deep
mystery. In no way that the probable
course of events can be forecasted can
any advantage for the working people
be reasonably shown.
Everything that a man buys for con
sumption in the household would be
raised in price. Would wages be in
creased in proportion? It ia not probable
that they would lor years, 11 ever. As
eoon as it became apparent that the free
coinage of silver would be undertaken
prices would be advanced, but wages
would remain stationary until employ
ers could ascertain bow they would be
affected. With the heavy losses that
many concerns would be compelled to
meet through the payment of outstand
ing aocounts and notes in depreciated
dollars, it is very probable .that the
workingman would have to wait a long
time for his wages to be raised. In the
interval he would have ample oppor
tunity to realize the stupendous folly
of the United States coining silver dol
lars at the ratio of 16 to 1 and debasing
its money, the life blood of commerce.
