It stands aa confessed that Bry

to his decrees, turned its back upon
ita traditions and abandoned its
principle. Having been nominated
by . the Populists he must either
strangle demooraov or . renounce
populism. He chose the former, as
sured that his complete supremacy
over the party would compel its
acquiescence. Bryan's record fer
the past four years is his platform
and there is no v ay of getting around
or above it. It is free silver at 16

EFFECT OF OPENING THE TILLS.
The Republican National Com
mittee sent out blanks to members
of the National Association of Man'
, tuaciurers'asking them, to furnish
: the number of men whom they had
employed in each year from 1890
to 1399 .inclusive,, as well as the
total amount of wages which they
; had paid during the same years.
- There were 200 replies. Tboy
showed 'a steady increase in the
number of hands employed in the
200 factories cntil the year 1893.
There was an immediate drop of
10,000 men in 1894, when they em
ployed 90,483 men. . But in 1897
they employed 109,600; in 1898,
131,42 men, and last year 174,645
men. In short, the number of
Wage-fa mere employed by these
tame 200 factories increased from

For the benefit ot the people of Southern Oregon I have published
this week two artiloes on pianos. Much valuable information can be
gleaned from a careful pursual. ' The following is from the Portland
