money question, also, he agrees
with Mr. Aldrich. In fact, while
his admirers claim that he is a
genuine progressive, his mea

the standpatters and those whom
they serve. It has transpired
since the passage of the Canadian
treaty that the manufacture of
agricultural implements is prac

combination. Mr.

can party is divided and faces
the probability of defeat. His
programme has been earned out
against the votes of a majority
of Republican senators by secur
ing the assistance of nearly all
the Democratic senators, whose
motive in coming to his support
is to widen the breach in the
Republican party and place it in
an indefensible position in the
coming campaign. The Orego

Oregon's hop crop is another
source of prosperity for the far
