OUR PROSPERITY.
' Because labor has not been in de
mand during the past three years,
we conclude that at no time in the
recollection of a majority of voters
were we so prosperous as in the dim
past, whose burdens have been for
gotten, and only the high price of
wheat, corn and cotton is remem
. bered.
We appear to have entirely over
looked the fact that in 1873 cities
like Seattle, containing 50,000 to
CO.000 inhabitants, weie small and
unimportant villages: Tacoma and
Spokane were unthoughtof; Helena,
Billings, Bismarck and many other
' cities, now having a commercial im
portance greater than many of the
present great cities of the east and
middle west, were stage stations or
nothing at all ; our own Portland was
a city of about 15,000 people,without
a railroad other than a local one.
The Northern Pacific railroad ex
tended less than one fourth the dis
tance from Lake Superior to Puget
Sound; the route of the Southern
Central and Union Pacific were bare
ly completed and were without their
many conuectin'g lines. The coun
try between Minnesota and the Pa
cific was mostly a buffalo range, with
here and there a stock ranch. No
rthought had occurred to any one
.that the wntpr'psa rlpgarta nf Ariynnn
-and New Mexico would ever pro
vduce a fig, grape or orange.
But our prosperity demanded the
development ot this great western
. country. Railroads were construct
ed, cities grew up and buildings were
constructed in these new western
ities which would have been a pride
to New York City twenty-five years
ago. We put on all the embellish
ments of eastern cities; we lighted
our streets and buildings with elec
tric lights ; we propelled our street
cars with the most approved electric
motors; -we paved our streets; we
opened our forests and our mines;
we improved our farms and added
in improvements to the virgin Foil
billions of dollars. . Our Pennoyers,
Thompsons, Montgomerys, Corbetts,
. Ladds, Frenchs and , many others
made, or largelj increased their for
tunes. And all this while the blight
of the single standard was upon us.
Never did a nation develop in wealth
so rapidly.
The fact is the coinage laws had
nothing to do with our prosperity
nor our few years of adversity. Our
national resources, our industry, our
ingenuity and our .perserverance
made us what we are. Legislation
in the way of restricting competition
will do much for us; but laws lead
ing to driving capital away from ns
can only do us harm.
The tariff has been much neglect
ed in the local discussions of this
campaign because the Popocrats do
not date to discuss it and Bepblicans
feel that the people are being gross
ly misled by the coinage question.
.-. The able and clear presentation of
the tariff question by Schoonmaker
last evening was needed, and will
put many on their feet who have
been carried away by the mad and,
as we believe, most foolish-free sil
ver craze. After all, the issue of
greatest concern to this country is the
protection of our industries.
day, and who wore a McKinley but
ton, was asked how it happened that
he was for McKinley. Yankee-like
he - answered by asking why he
should not wear a McKinley button.
This was too hard a question for his
interrogator, and the latter was about
to let go when the former further
answered : "There are many reasons
whv I wear this button. In the first
place I am an American and believe
in America and the policy of en
couraging American industries. Tn
the next place lam opposed to state
rights and all that secession repre
sented. Again, I carried a, musket
in 1861 and touched sleeves with
Major McKinley. He and I were
privates; the Major carried a musket
for two years. We were contending
for the same cause, and we were
right. I have no reason to think
that my old comrade is any less in
the right now than then. I can give
you further good reasons if j'ou care
for them."
We waived the other reasons and
grasped the man's hand, proud to
have met a man who "touched
sleeves with McKinley!' in 1861 and
1862.
The meeting to be held tomorrow
night by the Commercial Club to-arrange
for a celebration of the open
ing of the Cascade locks, will be an
important one to our city and com
munity. Arrangements should be,
and no doubt will be, made for the
entertainment of all down-the-rivei
people who have done so much in
assisting Eastern Oregon in getting
this great work completed, and who
will come to join us in this celebra
tion. The Dalles is more benefited
than any other community, and we
should show our appreciation of
what has been done for us.

POLITICAL COERCION.
Spokane actually had a gold bug
rally Monday night; not a Tillman
rally, but a genuine McKinley rally.
According to the report of the
Spokesman-Review, the leading Bry
an paper oi tue JNortnwest, tncre
wtre 1466 men in line, by actual
count, and there was, in the language
of that paper, "plenty ot enthusi
asm." I his took place in the city
where, at the beginning of the cam
paign, a wearer of a McKinley button
was hardly able to find accommoda
tions at a hotel, and was universally
boycotted. There evidently has
been some conversions up there.
Another fake has been shown up,
A short time ago the Popocratic
press declared that a brother of
President Garfield was for - Bryan
and free silver, and published, with
great boasting, what he was said to
have written. The aforesaid brother
has been heard from in these words :
If my martyred brother were alive
his voice would be heard from ocean
to ocean in favor of the Republican
party and Its principles, and I should
prove myself a traitor to his memory
and to the ptfople of my country
who placed him in the presidential
chair, a position the highest in the
gift of the people, were I to oppose
them, when I believe the principles
he advocated are as true today as
they were when he was here to pro
claim them. From this time until
after election a banner bearing the
names of McKinley, Hobart, Pingree
and Smith shall be seen floating from
my quiet little home in ihe township
of Jamestown.
Mr. Gai field is 95 years old and

We understand that some of the
barbers took exception to our sug
gestion that if one desired to see car
toon newspapers and could not buy
them, they could borrow them from
some barber shop. In this connec
tion we made no reference to the
Police Gazette. The presence of
cartoon papers in every barber shop
is everywhere conceded, and no one
takes exception to the fact. We are
sure they would not be there, if the
public did not wish to see them, and
it is all right. But when a man
takes a newspaper he wants the news.
The court of appeals has reversed
the decision of Judge Gilbert in the
Our Popocratic friends all over
the land have been claiming that
laborcis will be coerced. They have
no proof on which to base the asser
tion. 'and the whole thing is abso
lutely false and without foundation.
As a matter of fact, in most of the
northern states tbe election laws are
such that coercion of voters is
made a crime. In many states,
attempts to influence voters by
threats or bribery is made a crime,
and no employer would dare take
chances of bieaking the law. It is
welt known everywhere that ' em
ployers of corporations and manu
facturers aie not united, and men of
both parties wear their party buttons
openly and without fear. In our
own city, in Portland and every
where else there are Bryan men
among the employes or railroads,
express companies and manufacturing
companies; they wear Bryan badges
and are members of Bryan clubs.
It is no doubt true that the McKin
ley men are in the majority among
these employes, but they are Repub-
licars from choice.
In the case of the railroad men's
sound money club of Portland, it
was organized at the suggestion of
others than railroad managers, and
we venture to say the same thing is
everywhere true. No doubt the em
ployers of men in both parties, who
take an interest in the result of the
campaign, sees to mnuence tneir
men to vote their way, but they
know that the influence must be per
suasion, and not coercion.
United States Judge Caldwell of
Omaha has recently declared that he
will redress any laborer who is dis
charged because of his political
choice by any railroad company
under the jurisdiction of his court;
and so would any judge having au
thority so to do.
TUe whole talk is simply and pure
ly a campaign fake. Possib.'y Bryan
is now preparing to have an excuse
for his defeat, and starts this story
in anticipation. He will need a lot
of excuses for the defeat will certain
ly be a terrible one.
unman, like ennoycr, was a sa
disappointment to the more sensible
men who have been carried away by
free silver. He offers nothing which
appeals to reason or squud judg
ment. He disgusts many who are
wavering in their allegiance to Pop
ulism, and the inevitable result of
such speeches will be to drive men to
the standard of McKinley and pro
tection.
THE HON. T. T. GEER.
His Wit and Wisdom Constitutes a Tell
Ina; Campaign Xrenfu
Mr. Geer, who is a farmer and
earns his living from a 320 acre
farm in Marion county, presented
the political questions from a Re
publican standpoint at the Baldwin
opera house last night to an audience
composed largely of farmers. His
argument was plain, clear and con
vincing. The absurdities of free
silver, were so presented as to make
those who supposed the proposition
was based upon some principle see
the fallacy. He abused no one, but
no one who listened to him could
fail to see through the tissues which
the Populists present as reasons for
the election of Bryan. If a man
will not Jhe convinced by this kind
of, reasoning, there is no hope for
him.
The electoral votes of the follow
ing states will be cast for McKinley :

Illinois 24

We believe McKinley is sure of
248, or a majority of 49, with a pos
sible 31 4, or a possible majority of
181. -v
Our Popocratic .friends are now
denouncing the Republican commit
tees for hiring speakers. Why, of
course, Harrison, Howard, Sickles,
Tanner, Alger, Butterworth, Reed,
McLeary, Schurtz, Cochran, Carlisle,
Lew Wallace, and hundreds of others,
Hon. T. T. Geer is one of the most
pleasing speakers so far of the entire
campaign, tie is -a gentlemen of the
old school of thought, has common sense
ideas, and has not departed from that
unvarying circle to fly off on a tangent
of alarm, like so many of bis country
men when the Democratic hard times
came upon us, and wbicb we voted up
on ourselves in lo'JJ. lie took occasion
to bring that fact out,. too, quoting from
Boies of Iowa in a meeaaee to the legis
latnre which was similar in tone to Har
rison's 1S92 message to congress, recount
irjg our unexampled prosperity.
With good-natured ridicule Mr. Geer
scored the Populista by recounting some
of his own experiences with them. He
has ever found them unreasonable in ar
gument and tenacious of their opinions
even when demonstrated to be false.
Mr. Geer is a practical farmer himself
and does the entire work upon his 320
acre farm with only the assistance of his
eon. He remembers when these Popu
list agitators first came to his eection . in
time of plenty. .They bred discontent
among the well-to-do farmer and the
well-paid wage earner by insidious ques
tions and envious comparisons, and with
their literature accomplish a reversal of
good times.
Mr. Geer s speech was as witty as
sensible, and when his audience was not
digesting great truths, stated in his in
imitable way, they were laughing t his
wit. Some of his witty statements are
appended :
"There has been only one thing stated
by Bryan so far with which I can agree.
He said that when one Democrat leaves
the party to vote for McKinley, he
leaves a bole big enough for ten Repub
licans to get out. He is Fight; the hole
is big enough, for those ten Republicans
should feel so confoundedly dwarfed that
the hole is really larger than they would
require."
"A. Populist actually told rne the other
day that the raise in wheat was a Re
publican trick. 1 can always tell a
Populist. I can see a few in my audi
ence now, and they navo lacea long
enough to eat oats put of a churn."
"The populists say that their party
came into'existence because of the hard
times. ' I think it is nearer the truth to
say the reason of the bard times is be
cause tbeir party came into existence.''
"Silver is mined only bv the rich. It
takes great capital to operate a silver
mine. But any poor man can buy a
shovel and pan and mine gold. The
silver interest is a very small one to
make so much fuss about. There are a
hundred ahead of it. Even the hens of
the country lay more eggs than the sil
ver amounts to, and the roosters don't
make much noise about it either."
"The Populists howl : 'The money is
in the hands of the rich.' Where under
heaven should it be but In the hands of
the rich! Does anyone suppose for a
moment it could be in the bands of the
poor? If I found a country where the
money was owned by the poor I would
at once emigrate to it and become rich."
"They hoot at the idea that over-production
lowers prices, and when I asked
one what .was the reason bops were so
high one year, he said: 'Oh, there
were not many raised that year.' Wbo
ever heard of such unreasonableness
claiming tbat under-production raises
the price and yet not admitting that
over-production lowers it?"
His logic was as good as his wit. He
demonstrated to the simplest intelligence
that but a small amount of money is
needed to pay debts, for while the debt
is wiped out by the payment, the money
is just as good as ever to pay more debts
with. What we want is more confi
dence, so that the money will come from
its biding and be invested in business.
In May 180ft, President Jefferson or
dered tbat the minting of silver dollar be
dropped, and there was not another dol
lor coined for thirty years. If the act of
1873 was a crime, and I do not admit it,
it was restored in 1878, for since tbat
time there nave been 430,000 times as
many silver dollars coined as during the
eight years under President Jackson.
Mr. Geer closed with an earnest ap
peal to the voters not to make a mistake
and vote for a continuation of the htrd
times, illustrating tbe movement tow
ard Bryan by telling a story of a boy
trying to catch a calf, who in turn was
following alter a cow, the three being
separated at about equal intervals- The
cow kept going faster, which increased
both the speed of the calf and the boy.
Finally the ow broke into a run, so did
the calf, but the boy tank down ex
hausted and cried in - his . exasperation :
"Eon, you little fool, but whpn it comes
time to suck tonight, you'll find that
that cow isn't your mother." ..
President Crowe, of the McKinley
Club, made a telling speech of intro-.
duction, though not occupying over two
minutes of time. .

will have to work harder, but it won't

with free silver. That's sure 8 shooten

F. W. If you'll take my advice,
you'll not bother yourself to death try'
ing- to get rich by free silver. I'll war
rant it won't work as yon calo'late.
F. I'll tell you one way it'll help
me, Jane. You know that if we get
free coinage we will have silver dollars
.worth 'bout CO cents same's Mexican
dollars now.
F. W. I thought Bryan said that
silver 'd be worth just as much as gold
when we get free silver.
F. Yes, that's what he says in the
east so's he won't scare the millhands
and savings bank folks too much. Bnt be
don't talk that way out here, because he
know's that ain't what we're after. We
want cheap money, so's prices of wheat;

as in Mexico.'
F. W. Supp's'n they are. Wouldn't

that's tbe way silver's going to make you
rich, you'll never get rich.
F. But I wouldn't have to spend $2
for every f 1 1 spend now. You know, we
have at least two hired men the whole
