II, L. Wilis, Secretary. Smith at Warren and Yankton. Last Monday evening, as hud bsen an nounced, Mr. 11. O. Smith, of Grants Psss, spoke In behalf of the republican doctrine to a Isrgs sudlcnce at the sehoolhouae at Warrea. Mr. Hniltli certainly prosented as logical and persuasive argument as any speaker bss yet presented in this county. tils remarks wers confined strictly to the money question, npon which he Is thor oughly versed la every detail, Mr. Smith took the history of finance from the found ing of ohr nation, and la his Inimitable manner he plainly proved the correctness of every statement as lie proceeded in his able discourse. Ills remarks were particu larly directed to those who are In favor of the (res coinage of sliver at the 10 to 1 ratio, and to a liberal mind he proved tho policy adverse to the best Interests of our country. Hon. Robert O. Smith, of Oranli Pass, Idressed a large audience at Yankton Tuesday evening. The schoolhouse wns inadequate to accommodate those present, and standing room, for a time, was st a premium. Many ladles were present, end seemed to laks great Interest hi what was being said. For an hour and a halt Mr. Smith discussed the financial question in detail. Hie logic was so clear that the smallest child, not blinded by prejudice, could have understood it. Heviewing the history of the money of this country from ths time the Pilgrim fathers landed on the Atlantic shore until the present day, the speaker llluvtrsted the changes which had been made and the result which followed each change in our monetary system mat ters of history whlub are not so closely studied as they should be and showed be yond a question of doubt in the mind of reasonable men that labor received its low est compensation under a free coinage law. A little amusement was occasioned at the clone of Mr. Smith's address when a Air. Johnson, who had been noticed taking some notes during the speech, asked for time to make a few remarks. The request was granted and the gentleman proceeded by saying, first, Hint flat money was the money of the constitution, or that a piece of paper baa ring the government stamp was as good as gold or silver because of the guarantee of the government to pay It, or in other words that the guarantee of the government made a thing worth a certain sum, regardless of its commercial value. In the next sentence he declared that mosey was a commodity and Its price was regulated by the well established law of supply snd demand two statements which directly contradict each other, as the audience could readily see. He went on further to say that be stood on ths republican platforms of 1888 snd 1802, but that the party had left both the plat form snd himself, and in conclusion that he favored protection for the people of this country regardless of any other. Since the gentleman claims to stand upon the repub lican platforms of 1888 aud 1802, It might not be out of place to ask "Do these plat forms bear any simularity to the platform upon which Mr, Bryan seeks election?" and If he "believes In protection for this country" bow is be going to get it by vot ing for free trade as declared for by Mr. Bryan and his platform T At the eloae of Mr. Johnson's remarks Mr. Smith took about five minutes to dissect ths inconshv tencies bs bad advanced and the meeting adjourned.

Hon. H.V. Gates, of Washington county, addressed the people of Vernonia upon the political issues last Saturday night. The people were well entertained by a concise and loeica! presentation of ths fallaoies ot the olaims ot tbe Bryanltos. He dehed any one to refute his arguments and the popu list opened not bis mouth, except to ask a Question relating to tbe aotiou of the su prenie oourta forty years sgo.

Spaugh, whose name appears on the fusion ticket as a presidential elector, writes a letter to the secretary of state pro testing against his being designated on the official ballot as a "peoples, democratic. silver republican." Ths letter is as follows : Flobehck, Or., Oot. 16, 1896. Hon. H. R. Kincaid, secretary of state, Salem, Or. Sir: The newspapers inform me that ia preparing the ballot for the approaching election, you have designated me as a can didate of the democratic party, people's party, and sliver republican party for pres idential elector, and have so certified my name to the various county clerks. This does not conform to the facts. I was duly nominated for elector by the people's party, and as their candidate I bare accepted that nomination and filed my acceptance, under the law in yeur office. I bays never filed any other acceptance, and I hereby protest to you and through you to the county clerks of the various counties of the state against being designated aa either a demo crat, or a free-silver republican on the of ficial ballot. I cannot consent that tbe peo ple of tbs state Bhull be under any misap prehension as to my political position or party relations. "I therefore request that you give this letter out for publication, so that the peo ple, if they choose to vote for me, may know exactly what ray political affiliations are. W. H. Sfacgh." In the above letter it will be seen that Mr. Spaugh declines the nomination by the democrats and silver republicans, and recognises only the ruiddle-of-the-road pop ulUts, ' "The Workingman's Friend." Mr. E. Hofer, editor and proprietor of the Salem Journal and also fusion candi date for presidential elector, goes about tbe country posing as the friend of the work- Ingman. The Salem Typogrupnical Union last week passed resolutions denouncing Hofer as the enemy of labor organisations as follows: "Whereas, The Salem Typographical TTnion. No. 210. is a labor organization, un ited for the purpose of upliiting the intel lectual, moral and pecuniary standard of the working classes, as law-abiding citizens; it la. therefore, the bounden duty of each and every member and members as a whole to further our interests by any legitimate action aiming to that end. Therefore, it is not only in harmony with good unionism. but It is our auty to resori to our rigni oj suffrage when all other efforts have failed to accomplish such purposes: and when an enemy to our cause and an antagonist to our principles seeks political preferment at the hands ot the voters we, as organized people with the right to vote, should exer- else that right In accordance to the welfare rif nur nliMiiillon '. and "Whereas, we lino sucn a man in a.

' "He had been petitioned many times to grant this union some concessions, but without avail, until in me year imu ins oflioe was declared 'unfair,' and again in 1HU5. in the month of March, for the last lime. A boycott was then ordered by the nion. and tbe following notice iirlnted In the Statesman of Aoril 1 by the secretary: 'To limine Men By order of l anital Typogra lug are t ol Halein Dlileal union, no. ziu, ine toiiow 'f:iir' printing: otliees in the city State, E.

April 2, the Cap ital Journal publlihed the above notice ut the head of a half column of abuse, de nouncing labor unions and thi ir methods Kdltoriallv were several paruurapns ie- voted to the members of this union, to wit: The dastard v un-American method or dictating to business men whom tl.ey shall employ ana wuoni tney snnu oo uu-incos with Is nlaveil out and oneht to be smashed here in Halem. as it has been everywhere.' 'A few cigarette-smoking blatherskites can not dictate to the bnniness men of this city who they may or may not order printing of.' 'Men who cannot run their own busi ness have no right to dictate to others how they shall run theirs.' 'It remains to be seen whether a few labor agitators can bold p the town.' "In the face of all this Mr. Hofer has and is now stumping the state declaring that he a the ttlend ot the terming aim lanonna classes, while one week ago he discharged a tpyeactter with a family that he was pay ing $0 a week and hired two in hie atead, paving one $3.50 per week end the other tl.'fiO.

Three more type setter be pays ft each per week, who have worked years at the business; another SI a week, and hi pressman (3 per week, mak ing a total of 'h per week for seven people; an average of ft per week, or a fair week's wages for one man. His foreman is a 'rat' and receives $10 per week. And yet Mr. Hofer says that he is the workingman's friend. The sweat-shops of New York can not be morse. His employes are all poor people and deend upon their wages for their bread. One young woman keeps her aeif and aged mother upon i per week and a man and bis wife subsist on $3.50 per week. These are truths on record; there fore be it Resolved. That we denounce sucb dam nable oppression of the poor laborers ana reluse to aunnorl anv man tnat is responsi ble for it.
