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.

Mr. Spaugh Protests.
W. H. 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.
Hofer. editor and Dronrietor of the Salem
Capital Journal, and candidate for United
States presidential elector on the Bryan
democratic ticket, to be voted for on tbe 3d
day ol November, tins year, r oryear mr.
Hofer has been a menace to labor and ita
union in this city, working bis employes at
starvation wages.
' "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. M. Waite, R. K. Moores
& Co., and the Htatesman. Allotherofflce
are 'unfair. W. D. Torrcy, secretary.'
' On the following dav. 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. He said be did it to 'cut down ex
penses' of f 1 per week. 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
