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

-Dated this 22d day of October, 19C0.
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. ' j

"Before tho declaration of war with
Spain, tbe Democratic purty north und

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

firessed, a stable government cstuh
