It is within the mind of man when Bryan sat down to a Demo cratic dinner at $1 the plate. . Now 3m has just been banqueted in New York where each plate with wine t nd other accessories cost exactly 416. This proves that 16 to 1 is : 4be real Democratic isBue. Eugene Jtagieter. . It is noticeable that a'bright and . intelligent gentleman who was for ' jnerly referred to with pride by the 3toeeburg Review as Hon. Wm. Colvig, of Jackson County', as now, since his declaration for McKinley, common "Bill Colvig." Such nar row partisan prejudice is nauseating Eoseburg Plaicdealer. A good story is told on a Swede, who is the victim of well meant but misdirected political philosophy When asked for' whom he will vote this fall for president he said: "O, Ay bane goin to vote by Brain." Asked for his reason he said : "Last m Ay voted they said 'Ef Ay bane vote by Brain ve got good terns' -and Ay did and ve got good terns o Ay vote for heem again." . Many of the men who wore tin roosters upon their hats in 1892, And then wore Cleveland badges upon the seats of their breeches for fonr years, voted for McKinley in 1896, and they'll do it again this year. The Cleveland patches have been replaced with whole goods- all wool and a yard wide, bearing McKinley's trade mark Republi can prosperity and a lull dinner pail. It is ac almost nnpardonable crime in the minds of some of Jackson County's leading (?) Dem ocrats for President - McKinley's picture to adorn the interior walls of our court house, but if this be a crime what of the following which appeared in an Associated Press 'dispatch sent out last week from Jremont, Nebraska: "An enormous crowd turned out to hear Mr. Hanna at Fremont, where the speaking took place from the front steps of the court houBe, nearly every win dow of which displayed a large lithograph of Mr. Bryan." Now, The Mail don't think this was criminally wrong, but it displayed a lack of good judgment on the part of those who put the pictures there they will either have to re move them entirely or turn them to the wall.after November 6th.

DEflOCRATIC CONGRESSMEN WERE IN FAVOR OF TRUSTS; During Mr. Pitch's laborious speech, delivered at the Mod ford opera house last Friday even ing, 1 e tissuilod the trusts vigor ously. Ho said all manner of moan things about them and gavo his hearers to understand that the Re publicans were responsible for every trust in the land, but' ho did not mention Chairman Jones' cotton bale trust or Croker's ice monopoly, neither did he say to his hearurs that 130 Democratic congressmen voted in fvo" 9' trtutf iu h houso of repreentati,'d at 1 ald ington on Juno 1, 1900. While he was forgetting these few litue items ho also let slip from his memory the fact that at the same place aud upon tho same date above referred to 148 Republican congressmen voted against trusts. A two-thirds vote was required and there were not enough Republicans to carry the measure. For the benefit o! those who heard Mr. Fitch Friday evening and who did not know that he had left anything unsaid we publish be low the constitutional amendment as taken from the Congressional Record of June 1, page 6929: ; AltTlCLB xvi. Section 1. All powers conferred by this artiole ihall exteud to the- Severn! States, the Territories, the District of. Columbia, and all territory under the sovereignty and subject to the jurisdic tion of the United States. Sec. 2. Congress shall have power to define, -regulate, 'prohibit, or dis solve trusts, monopolies, or combina tions, whether existing in the form of a corporation or otherwise. ' The several States may continue to exercise such power lu any mtlnner not in conflict with the laws of the United States. Sec. 3. Congress shall have power to enforce the provisions of this article by appropriate legislation. The Republican members of the house made a vigorous fight 'for this amendment. The clause sav ing all rights of states was inserted in the hope of getting States Rights Democrats to support the amend ment, but the Democrats when they had an opportunity to vote in 1 c- cord with their loud professions went back on it. The vote stood, as above' stated, 148 Republicans for the anti-trust amendment and 130 Democrats against the amend "t. A two-thirds vote was neces is. - carry the measure but the DeniocratB killed constitutional anti-trust legislation by voting al most solidly against it. Loudly as the Democrats talked, when it came to a.vote.they echoed Bryan's declaration at the Chicago conference, "We have not met here to destroy the trusts." The names of the 130 Democrats who voted against and the 148 Re publicans who voted for the amend ment are written on the Congres sional Record and Congressmen Tongue and Moody, Oregon repre sentatives, voted for the amend ment. BRYAN'S PLATFORM. It will Cost at Least 1000 Lives ef American Soldiers In the Philippines. , Governor Roosevelt, during the course of his remarks at Baltimore. laBt Saturday, read a letter from Captain Claude E. Sawyer," now serving in tbe Philippines, to Sena tor John T. McLaurin. The letter is dated Luzon, August 13, 1900, and was published in tbe Columbia (S. C.) Daily Record. Captain Sawyer Wrote: ' "I have just seen a Filipino pa per printed in Spanish and published in Manila, containing the Demo cratic platform and some cable grams from London, giving some utterances of Mr. Bryan, which in dicate to me that the American people are going crazy. I notice iu the Democrat platform . that they make three pledges in reterence to the Filipinos. Firnt, to give them a stable government, seco:id, to 'give them independence,' and third. to 'protect them against all fb'eijrti powers. Can this be correct.' Is this possible? What have all thepe good men like Lawton died for? Did we give Spain $20,000,000 for those islands to turn around and present them to the treacherous Aguinaldo, who sold out bis people and then refused to stand by his bargain? Do you know that the Democratic platform will cost at east 1000 l'ves of American sol diers here? A. leader said yester day that they were fighting to hold out until Bryan is elected, and then all will be well with them. Every speech he makes is cabled over here, translated and sent broadcast." DO YOU WANT IT? . In 18112 this country was more prosperous than ever before. Km ploymont was more gonorul ' ami waxes highur than they ever were. The people, minted by tho usmir tions of tho Democratic office seekers, tried tho experiment of ehaiigina the poliuy ofthoUovc. ment on the Tariff question. What was the result? On the very day , following the election business began to decline, dealers canceled their contractu for home manufactures, factories re duoed their working forces uud cur tailed their orders for the product of the mine, the forest and tho Uel'i. and uncertainty took the plujs of confidence in the business world. What followed? livery workiiiRman, every em ployee aud every farmer whoso market was thus curtailed roniem bers. There was a panic, duures sion, gloom, enforced idleness wni want. All this was the result of a change in our taritl policy which atlected the great manufacturing interests and which threatened labor. Bryan now threatens to lower the tariff and take awuy Protection from labor. Do you want it? If bo, vote -for crynu and you will get it. BRYAN AT MIS WORST. From the Now York Suu, Septonibor It is not pleasant to find a camli date for president of the United Mateo talking as foolishly or (lis honestly as Mr. Brvan talked at Monett, -Mo. : "The Republicans are now boast' ing that we have reached a point wnere we can loan money to people in other countries. 1 want to link you whether you regard that as an evidence of prosperity. Why would any man send his money to Europe for investment if he could find a place in this country to invest it? Money sent abroad for investment must be sent for one of two reasons, either because the man who sends tbe money over tbere thinks more of the people over there thon he does of the people here, and does it lor love and devotion, or because it is ft matter of business, that is, be cause he can invent it to belter ad vantage in a European country than he can in this country." Mr. Bryan either knows or does not know that the country has ac cumulated so much money under that financial system which he is tryiDg to break down that it has money to lend at a low rate of in terest to the rest of the world. He either knows or does not know that a low rate of interest is good for the country in general, especially for that "debtor class" for which he shows so much concern.. .He either knows or does not know that a country which is able to lend must be prosperous. He either knows or does not know that the big slice of the German loan taken by a life insurance company represents in large measure the savings of many men in moderate circumstances. If he does not know these things, he is too big a fool to be president. If he does, and yet talk as he talked at Monett, he is too dis honest to be president. I'f is common talk that stockmen now are taking things easy; that they are contented, happy, aud even fat in the region of the '"Hank," which means that their purses ard well filliu and ; their bank books their most interesting reading, says Farm and Ranch. But we have re cently learned that this self-satisfied condition is not unhersal. We met a cattleman on the cars recently who was not at ail happy. Hp was a cattleman without cattle. Three years ago he became disgusted with the low prices of horned stock and sola out, intending to stock up again '. when times were better. Times are better, but he says the money he received for 7,000 head will only buy about 3.000 now, and that, is not enough to stock his range. The same high prices that make the average cattleman smile so broadly, only bring a frown to his brow. Cattlemen who stuck to the business through the hard times are the ones who are happy. North west Live Slock Journal. Bkyan- denied the report that he had promised a cabinet position to Uroker. The fact seems to he that Bryan has promised nothing at all except to kick the spinul column out of the gold standard and to make the American flag in the Phil ippines look like a back number porous plaster. Yreka Journal. As regards tho promise made Crocker, Mr. Bryan's denial is undoubtedly correct. What Crocker wants be will take and Mr. Bryan knows it. Webster Davis will bIbo see to it that he (Davis) gets $125,000 worth of something out of the government in the event of Mr. Brvan's elec tion but the event will not event and Mr, Croker will again eqeeze the patrons of his frozen water trust to even up on bis Tammany ex pense Mr. Davis will go hunting for more Boers to pillage.

This is why It is lame. JelTcrsou wns an expansionist in tho fullest sense, and was called an Imperialist by his op ponents. He believed 111 acquiring and governing territory whether by tho consent of Its Inhabitants or not. Ho took the responsibility of buying Louisiana without apy express author ity, and Is the only presldont who openly avowed the commission of an Important public act outside of the con stitution. The right to take this country and c-xtcud jurisdiction ov .1 its inhabitants was never questioned. The stionger race d.-ovo Ilium from their lunds, placed tliom upon limited reservations und governed them foshuu of old was coiirtnundcJ to lend Israel over the Jordun und mko ponscs sloti of the promised land. Iu order to obev the command he wus obliged to kill or drlvo out tho Canunnites who oodocsied it. Joshua wus, tliurelore, by divine authority, the lirelcxpuu&luu 1st, uud o fur from nsking tho eoneent of the governed he sluyed or drove the inhabitants from the country. "Before tho declaration of war with Spain, tbe Democratic purty north und south clamored for interference in be half of the oppressed Cubans - and charged the president with cowardice and want of appreciation of the strug gles of the oppressed. He was do dared to bo a man Insensible to wrong, and Immovable when - he should be most active." Mr, Colvig asked par don lor using a quotation that was more forceful than ulegant, and said, "Tho Democrats were 'holl for war in time of peace, and hell for peace in time of wur.' The possession of tho Philippines, and tho conditions grow ing out of it, were the inevitable re suits of the war demanded bv the Dem oerutic party. The United States could not now honorably withdruw and give tno lslunos over to anarchy aud mis rule. The insurrection rnuHt be sup- firessed, a stable government cstuh Ished, and the natives given such liberty ns will best conduce to their progress and hapoinesB.

When Mr. Bryan goos over thoro to murk out his coullntr Btalion und estab lish hiB protectorate,, Aguinaldo will suy to lilm: 'This is our country and we are not issuing couling stations or court ing protectorates. Wo are quullded to run our own concerns, and It will best conduce to your health to tuko your omongings anu quit the islands.' LI then Mr. Bryan determined to enforce his policy be would be obliged to do just what Mr. McKinley Is doing now, namely, enforce his authority In tbo islands. Tbe safe policy is to let well enough alone and vote for McKinley ana ttoosuveit, ' Voters Should Read Tills.
