The Dalles Chronicle tries to ex
use the despotism created for the
government of Porto Rico by a Rc
tuMic.m congress and president, by
citing a bit of ancient history, and
giving extracts from the acts of
congress of 1803 and 1819 for the
government of Louisiana and Florida,
attempting to justify despotic gov
ernment of the present time because
a despotic government was created
then. Times-Mountaineer.
The Dallk Chkonicle never
lliougbt of accusing Jefferson and
Jsckson of being parties to the estab
lishment of a despotism, in the
secondary sense of a tyrra', over
anybody. Much less has it attempted
to excuse a Republican congress and
president for establishing a despotism
in the sei.tc of a lyrrany in Porto
Kieo. The temporary governments
established over Louisiana by Jeffer
son and over Florida by Jackson
undnr President Monioe were des
potic in the sense of being absolute,
but they vere in no sense oppressive
or tyrraoous. The temporary gov
ernment established over Porto Rico
is far less despotic than either of the
others and so much the less oppres
eive. We have done in Porto Rico
what, in principle, we have done in
every territory that has come into
our possession since the acquisition
of Louisiana. We have done in
Porto Rico what, in principle, we
re doing now in every territory in
our possession. The government
established in Alaska is far more
despotic than that established in
Porto Rico. The territory has not
even the semblance of a representa
tive government and even the system
of local taxation is different from
that in the Slates. The government
is a pure despotism but in no tense n
tyrrany. Yet nobody complains, be
cause the exigencies of a Democratic
campaign do not require it. There !
is wore despotism in several state
governments in the South towards
the negro race than congress ever
dreamed of for the Porto Ricans,
let no Democrat lifts bis warning
votco and even Bryan, the prince of
auti-despotism, is dumb as an oyster.
la all our history as a nation there
never has come into our possession
territory whose people were treated
with the kindness and consideration
that congress has shown to the Porto
Ricans. Despotism and imperialism
are bogey meu, the invention of
Uryaoite necessity, that every honest
Democrat ought to be ashamed of.
were asked to believe that the coun
try went into a panic over the de
monetization of silver when nobody
knew it had been demonetized till
years after, and that Uncle Sam fell
down in '73 immediately that his
silver leg was cut off, when, as even
a Populist ought to know, Uncle
Sam' bolh legs in '73 wre made of
paper; for not till years after the
crime of '73 was there a cent of gold
or silver in circulation anywhere in
the United States, save in a few states
on the Pacific Coast. This is a sample
of the arguments that this clown and
ignoramus used to induce Dulles
people to vote for Iiiyan! No
wonder The Cuuokiclk's criticism
gave no offense.
The Chkonicle is pleased to learn
from so high an authority as the
Times-Mountaineer that nobody took
offense at its criticisms of the speech
of "Cyclone" Davis, "considering
the source." Hut if the speech was
defensible why did not our con
temporary come to the rescue? It
surely was not his natural bashful
ness that kept him back. The truth
is the Cyclone's speech was incapable
of defense. It was a rehash of Pop
ulist fabrications whose mendacity
has been exposed twice ten thousand
times over. In his financial argu
ment he never got beyond that most
lying of all the lying things that
have been written on free silver,
Mrs. Emory's -Seven Financial Con
spiracies. He told of Ernest Seyd
having been here in 1873 and of his
.bribing congress with half a million
dollars to demonetize silver, when it
bis been proved beyond the shadow
of a doubt, by the written testimony
o Seyd's two sons, that their father
lived and die ! a bimetalist and was
never in the United States after
X85tf. He pictured Uncle Sara as
Undinj on two legs, one gold and
the other silver. Ia 1873 the Re
publican party cut off the silver leg
mid the old gentleman at once fell to
the ground. In one breath he told
tba audience that the panic of '73
immediately followed the crime of
73; ia the next he said even Grant,
who signed tho bill, did not know
Uiosilvtr dollar hd been dropped
out of it till years after. Thus we
The "Portland Mitchell-McUride
literary bureau" is accused by the
Oregonian of sending out editorial
proofs to the editors of the state
"from the office of a Dalles news
paper," and the Oregonian supports
its accusation by a clipping from the
La Grande Journal which implicates
the Dalles "newspapers" in this
offense. There are two newspapers
here, as the Oregonian well kncs, of
opposite politics. The Chkonicle,
therefore, can only speak for itst'lf.
Neither the editor of The Ciikomclk,
nor any one connected in any carac
ity with the office, nor any one di
rectly or indirectly controlling the
paper, nor any one owning a dollar's
worth of interest in it, has ever,
under the present editorial manage
ment, sent out from the oflicc, to any
editor of any newspaper, in Oregon
or elsewhere, so much as one editorial
proor sheet or any ctner kiurt or a
proof sheet, on any subject, political,
personal or otherwise. And the
same remarks, in all their explicitness
and detail, will apply to marked
copies of the paper, if the reference
is confined to articles In any way re
lating to any matter of controversy
between the so-called imon-Corbett
and Mitchell-McBride factions of
the Republican party. Tub Chkon
ici.e might have done all this, or
been a party to it, and yet not have
transgressed the limitations .or an
American freeman, or been in the
least ashamed to own what it had
done; but it takes pride in the fact
that it belongs to no faction; is in
the secrets of none and never wants
to be. What it does politically
in the broad sunlight and if it has at
any time published anything that the
Mitchell-McBride faction happen to
approve, it has no tears to shed; or
anything that the Simon-Corbclt
faction condemn, so much the worse
for that twin iniquity.
THE rOHTO UICO ACT.
Now that tho Porto Rican question
is becoming tatter understood by
the people, the very proper stand
taken by the administration Is ap
preciated the moie, says the Astoria
News. The Democratic paitj worked
its haidcst to force the Republicans
to adopt the free trade policy.
Every effort was made to compel
the abandonment of the protective
principle, but fortunately without
avail. Our sugar, our tobacco, our
fruit, our vegetable and other agri
cultural interest tan rest content
that, Just as soon as the Porto Rican
products inteifere in our markets
with our own farm crops, then they
will be fully protected. The prin
ciple to do this has been retained,!
and that Is tho main object for which
tha administration contended. We
have treed the Porto Ricans from a
condition bordering almost upon
slaverv. and it rests with them to
attain a standard that wiU entitle
them to enjoy and uphold the rights
and privileges of the constitution of
the United States. While wo are
willing to help tLe Porto Ricans do
this, the principle of protection to
our own labor and our own farmers
has been rightfully retained in such
way that it may be applied vhen we
come to consider the Philippines
with their millions of low-priced
laborers, and their possible ability to
compete disadvantageously with our
sugar and tobacco growers.
Democratic papers that are work
ing themselves into a frenzy over
Simon's bosshipand the apparition of
Corbctt's candidacy for the United
States senate should preserve their
souls in patience. The Republicans
of Oregon can be trusted to take
care of Corbett when the time for
action arrives." Tho Simon-Corbett
faction in Multnomah, even with the
Oregonian at its back, is not the
"whole thing" by any means. The
legislative nominees of tho Re pub
lican party for this district have no
connection with any real or fancied
Simon-Corbett ring in Portland.
They owe nothing to it, have made
no pledges to it and arc in no way
or manner connected with It. Tbcy
have been selected for their capacity
and ability to servo the people, and
they enter the catnpaigu owing no
allegiance to any political boss and
unpledged to any senatorial candi
date.
Candidate Wm. Smith, who is run
ning (very slowly) for congress in
the Second Oregon district, puts free
silver at 16-to-l rs the paramount
issue, and his sloffan. "Consentient.
ly," says the Telegram, "Mr. Moody
may confidently look for a largely
increased majority, as most voters
have already heard more free silver
gush than is palatable to them."
No roan will be allowed to vote at
the Democratic primaries over in
Washington unless he pledges him
self to support Bryan for tho presi
dency. This is a species of despot
ism, not to say imperialism, that has
no parallel in the history of the party
of "Emperor William."
The Times-Mountaineer is opposed
to tho Simon-Corbett ring. So is
The Chronicle. The Chronicle
bates the ring because it is a bad
lot. The Times-Mountaineer fights
it for the Democratic capital it ex
pects to make out of it. The
Chronicle warns its contemporary
that there is no Democratic capital
to be had from that source. What
ever infamy there was in tho legisla
tivc hold-up, which our contempo.
rary so very justly condemns, the
Democrats were in it to the neck. If
the Times Mountaineer wants the
Democratic participation in this
infamy stirred up, all light. But if
not, let it keep silence in all the
languages it commands. One thing
only we mention at this time. The
Republicans of this legislative and
senatorial district had the grace to
leave every man at home who was
connected with the hold-up in 1897.
The Democrats havo added insult to
injury by renominating a man for
the lower house who was in the front
rank of the infamous lot, who was
bought twice and then had not the
manliness to stay bought, and who
did other things, under the nurturing
care of the Populist Jonathan Bourne,
meanwhile, (bat we dare not defile
this paper by putting them in print.
No; the Times Mountaineer had bet
ter drop the hold-up business right
here and now.

Cyclone Davis says: "We are
going to burst the hills in twain and
give the silver and gold to the
people." Won't that be nice! says
an exchange, -uursi me nins in
twain!" But that would be work, and
the idea is to avoid labor. All of
these bills of gold and silver or,
excuse us, silver and gold will
have to be stamped by the govern
ment or It would not be a medium of
exchange. Then all would roll in
silver and gold, none need work and
if any get real hungry they can cat
silver and gold. 'Tis a beautiful
dream with the practical part left .for
the wakening moments in the morning.

No reflection is intended upon
any sheriff that Wasco county ever
had, when it is mentioned as a matter
of common belief that tbo business
of the sheriff's office was never in
better hands tbac in these of Robert
Kelly, the present incumbent, who
has been nominated to eucceed him
self. The books of the office are
kept as they ought to be kept, and
as they never were kept under any
other administration. The taxes are
collected up closer than thev ever
were b.fore, and tho result in Ibis
respect alone is a saving to the
county of much of tho erpense of
the office. Moreover, the sheriff is
never absent from his post of duty,
while the business outside the office
s always attended to faithfully and
punctually. And lastly, and as a
fitting compliment of any public
seivnnt, Wasco county never had a
more genial or more obliging sheriff
than Robert Kelly, or one that would
do more to please and oblige any
one who has business to do in the
office. For these reasons alone the
people of Wasco county want no
change in the sheriff's offico and will
vole for none.
