T. HELENS. !, tEP.tl. PROTECTION AND PROSPERITY FOR PRESIDENT Wm. McKinley, of Ohio, FOR VICE-PRESIDENT Garret A. Hobart, of N, J. How changed the conditions pre vailing since tba ejection f the present Administration! It was elected upon n issue that proposed tbe reversal of the economic policies that bad brought to the nation theee marvelous result. Since then our energies have been stifled, hope and courage' have almost fled, and instead of the chorus of plenty, want's gaunt hand baa pressed close upon many of onr people. Pros trate industries, idle wheels, smokeless furnaces, palsied capital, idle labor, unsought production have cried in vain for help, and the only answer of "triumphant democracy" waa the Wil son bill, with its "perfidy and die honor," that wrecked our prosperity and ruined our industries. KLaBSAg scored a gain in population last year of 1925. Tbe tide haa turned at hist, but all that is needed to renew the scramble to leave the state ia an other term of populist crankery in office, Tsi farmers are aware, of course, that tbe present prices of their pro ducts are democratic prices, and it follows that tbe best way to get higher ones ia to restore the republican party to power. Bbyaji speaks of McKiuley's letter of acceptance aa "golden text ot the republican lesson," and he couldn't have said a better thing about it if be had tried to compliment it instead of aiming to discredit it. "Lbt no act be done, no policy be adopted, no expedient retorted to, that will tarnish the honor of this great republic," is tbe advice of John Sher man. It is gratifying to know that thus far in the history of tbe country every party of repudiation has been wiped out at the polls. WEBSTER ON BSYAXISXf In hia admirable letter of acceptance. Mr. McKinley quotes a timely and striking passage from one of Webster's speeches admonishing; the people against devices intended la create an tagonisms between diUereut classes oi ciuxena. Much more matter of pres ent value might be extracted from that speech. In fact, the whole of it has significant relation to the existing situation. It was delivered ia the seasta, January 31, IS34, against a currency-degrading proposition simi lar to tha .uie which is new being ad vocated by the demur rata and popu lists. The great orator was never more eloquent than on that occasion, when he pleaded for the maintenance of an honest standard of value, and against the substitution of cheap money tor money of a sound and reputable char acter. He described in vivid terras the evils that would surely follow a de preciation of tho currency, and cited historical examples to prove the folly and wickedness of auch a nolicy. j Power was given to congress over the! money system of the country, he d clared, for tbe expresa purpose of pro tecting the people against such a ca lamity, and not to furnish opportunity in tbe other direction. The Interest of "the great toiling masse, aa Air. Bryan calls them, in the mailer of boneat as opposed to dishonest money, was dwelt upon by kesplng prollt-and-Uss accounts. ' "1 have endeavored to ascertain what the coat of free coinage ot silver would bto the country, provided tlis Altgeld-TUImaa combination wliicb nominated Mr. Bryan free Pills.

I do not know to what extentthi policy bas ben adopted in Portland, but tbe pro cess of boarding gold has been quietly go ing on through sll the iatermountain states ever since the adjournment of ths Chicago convention: "I do not know whether those farmers who owe mortgages, snd are clamoring for the election of Mr. Bryan, have realised this situation or not, but they had better inquire before it Is too late, and satisfy themselves whether or not my statement is correct' JJH.

POlilTlCAIi POINTERS. Webster with particular emphasis. 'Sir, he said, "the veiy roan of all McMnley's speecnes appeal to man's others who suffers most by mischievous reason; Bryan's to their passion and pre-1 legislation concerning the currency is judic. Th convention of tbe national dem ocratic party held at Indianapolis last week nominated Senator John M. Palmer, of Illinois, for president, and Simon Boliver Puckuer, of Kentucky, lor vice-president. The former is 79 year of age, and was a general in tbe Union army, and tbe Utter 73 years of age, and was general in the con federate army during the civil war. Tbua the blue and the gray harmonize t least so far aa the national demo cratic ticket is concerned. These two old men bave about run life's race, and it was a neat compliment paid them by their old associates to grant them the honor of having been presidential candidates before it was everlastingly too late. Cotjktt warrant are now a drug on the market. Those who have hereto- lore been buying at vo and some as nigh as 98 cents, have declined to take them at any price. Tbe reason assigned for this is tbe uncertain con dition of finances all over tbe country Men who bave money to invest have become alarmed and have withdrawn their money from circulation, for tbe present, at least. One gentleman who has heretofore invested heavily in Co lumbia county paper, writes his rep resentative here that he would not in vest another dollar in warrants until after the election, but that if McKin ley is elected he will again be in the held to purchase this countv'a Darjer. The same conditio.! exists all over the country and will not be changed so long as repudiation is advocated by any coosiueranie number of people. the man who earns his daily bread by his daily toil" The capitalists, he went on to explain, could take care of themselves by hoarding their money, or even reap a profit from the hard times by preying on the earnings of tbe masses. "Hut tbe laboring man,' he exclaimed, "what can be hoard? His property ia in bis hands. His re liance, bis fund, bis productive free hold, his ail, is bis labor. Whether he work on his own small capital, or an other's, his living is still earned by his industry; and when tbe money of the country become depreciated or de based, whether it be adulterated coin or paper without credit, that industry is robbed of its reward. He then la bors for a country whose laws cheat him oat of hit bread.' These word? of one of the most distinguished of American statesmen are directly and forcibly applicable to the present po litical situation. They present the free silver question in its true light, and snow plainly what th conse quences of the election of Bryan would be to tbe people who work for a living. Surely the advice of each a man is worth heeding; and the man who vote againat it will give himself cause for deep regret. A PLAIN STATEMENT. A populist exchange, in speaking of E. Hofer, who is a candidate for presidential elector on the fusion tick et, in this state, says: "Hofer was one of the most honest aud courageous men in the legislature." It will be remem bered that Mr. Hofer was elected to tbe last legislature as a republican on a ticket pledged to economy. But in looking over tbe house journal of the last session it is seen that Mr.1 Hofer and Mr. Young, who is now chairman of tha populist state central commit tee, and formerly a Mormon, voted for mora appropriations than any oth er two men in the bouse. Thus it will be seen thst pledges for economy do not count for anything with peo ple of popnlistic persuasion, and it will be seen further thai the leaders of th populist psrty are men who have betrayed tbe trust reposed in them by one or the other of the old parties, and therefore are cast aside for honest and conscientious men. In this con nection we notice that Mr. Butler, who was in the laat state senate, and also a democrat, now on the fusion ticket for presidential elector, while! The following is an excerpt from a speech delivered by Senator Mitchell at Verooma, Columbia county.

The speech is loo long to publish ia lull, but tbe portion here quoted con tains a few thoughts worthy of serious consideration Is it entirely clear to you. my silver friend, a an advocate of independent bimelalism, that it cannot be main tained in this country in connection with tbe enforced policy of free trade. and when entirely divorced from tbe policy of protection f While I. ter- eonaiiy. lonowing tbe piatlorm of tbe republican party of this sUte, upon which the legislature was elected which appointed me to my present term in the senate, bave advocated and voted for independent bimetalism, and nave done so earnestly and hon estly, believing it could be maintained in connection with the nolic of nrn. tection, I have always insisted in every ""kinswoman as I am to cheapening onr speecn tnat i bave ever made anon the snbiact. that it mint Ka mrmlorl :'..!" .;- ..

Oentletnen are not expected to engage in joint debate with notoriety-hunters and blatherskites. Governor McKinley is right; tbe opening of our mills will do much mors good than th opening of our mints. If organized labor takes ths advice of two of its sblest leaders Arthur and Powdsrly -it will vote solidly for McKinley. Suppose you increase a msn's pay 25 per cent and pay him in money which haa de reciated 50 per cent, where does bis gain come tar A If sine man says it would be as easy to convince the farmers of that state that they can make maple sugar ont ef botteruiiU as to convert them to free silver.

It will take stronger proof than BrAn or any of his followers can present to convince tbe country that one-twentieth of its citi zens are continually scheming to enslave the other nineteen-twenlieths.
