Multnomah County .WILL YOU DO IT?. Will you all Republicans, Dem ocrats, Populists (or whatever may be your title) get on your working clothes and go to "the polls on November 6 and vote the straight Republican ticket that will insure victory for one of the best men that has occupied the Presidential chair since it was vacated by that wisest of wise men, Abraham Lincoln? William MoKinley is the man a human being like ourselves a good man, an honest man, a states man, a soldier, a diplomat tried in office, and well broken to har ness. -None "can better serve the people the whole people of the United States, and we, the people the whole people must have him as our servant yet our honored Chief Magistrate for four years more. He is our country's mascot. , Is China, a free silver country, millions of people livo in boats, principally. upon rats, rice and fish diet. " Bryan is trying to induce us to do the same. - Election next Tuesday.' If; you want four more years of prosperity and a full dinner pail vote for Mc Xinley and Roosevelt. If it is de pression hard times, "busted" banks, Coxey armies, closed mills, free trade and a fifty-three cent dol lar you are looking for, vote for Bryan and Stevenson. There are now 350,000 children in the primary schools of Cuba, as against 30,000 under Spanish rule. This may well be viewed with alarm, as a forecast of what in likely to happen to the v retched Filipino-s under the benighted and j despotic rule of the United States Xet the antis redouble their efforts in behalf of this liberty-menaced people. Oregonian. A Klamath County soldier boy, doing service in the Philippines, in a letter to relatives says among other things: "You spoke of elee tion. ' No, I can't vote this year, as . I will be onlv 20 vears old to- . morrow, bnt if I could I would vote for McKinley.' I don't care for any . TrPA clival- in m'nn : T ll-nlr' fltic country is under free silver law and one of their dollars are just as big aB one of our dollars, but are only worth 47 cents. Five dollars A meri can changed Into Mexican and you have a pocket full." The write-up which the Med ford inquirer gave the Republican torch light procession in its last issue was an insult ,to every Republican in Medford and ehould be resented by each and every one of them. The item in question was an insult be cause that it was neither more nor less than a conglomeration of scur rilous lies from commencement to finish, and was intended as an insult, not alone to tho?e who took part in the parade, but to every man who votes the Republican ticket in. the town. . The Mail has never said a disparaging word of any Demo cratic demojstration put out in Medford, not but what there have been ample grounds for comment, but The-Mail does not believe it is conducive to a town's good to make a dirty, hand-to-hand local, fight in politics.' The Mail don't believe J. R. Wilson, ). H. Miller, G. H. ) Haskins, Judge Crowell or any of i the leading Democrats of the town .approve of such methods. The Mail is sorry that' Jackson County Democrats have had this Enquirer barnacle thrust upon them.- i As a prominent Democrat was heard lo say but a few days aeo: "If we lose Jackson County, we can charge it ip;to the' Medford Enquirer.' .

( From tuo Oregon Ion. . ( Brownsville, Or., Oct. 2G ( (To the Editor.) In a recent issue of the Oregonian I see it stated that Linn County is surefor Bryan. I can loll you of one Democrat in Linn County that he will not get. I gave my baby boy to Uncle Sam to help place the flag on those Islands, and there I want it to stay. When he left home for Portland I told him never to let the flag trait in-the dust, or be. dishonored,, and if ho fell, let his face bs towards the enemy. I am for sound money; expansion with all that the term implies; liberal pensions; the Nicaragua Canal; a first class navy; and an army for all possible, needs. And, as we liavo become responsible for the good behavior of Cuba to the world, I would not take down the flag that floats over her, despite the Foraket reso lution. She lies in our front yard, and, when that resolu tion was jroposed, we had more sentiment than was good for us. Besides, McKinley has done more to conciliate .the South and fill up the bloodv chasm than any President since the war. He has done exceptionally well for my old commander, Joe Wheeler, for which I feel very kindly towards him. And I hope every other old Confederate soldier in Oregon will cast' his vote for him. It is no hard job for me to vote for a viteran of the blue. I think it best for all the interests of this great people and country that wr. uryan should be snowed under by a mountain of ballots. O. B. Reese. M. D. a; NEVER SATISFIED. .There was one sound, logical statement made by Pierce,. the Dem ocratic elector, at the court house Friday evening, when he said the time to elect a Democratic presi dent is while the country is well ted, for nothing can be done while Coxey armies are tramping the country. This '"s absolutely true, When the masses, millions strong, are out of work and are forced to patronize soup houses to keep body and soul together, it is about that time they begin to prav for a presi dential election with the hope that the Itepublican party may be re stored lo power in order that their distress may be relieved. Ameri can voteis are in full possession' of their senses and do the right thing at the right time to restore the coun try to its normal condition. The most dangerous thing the Republi can party has to deal with i tho good times it always brinKs. Too many' people can't stand a continuation of one thing. They are too Nomadic ni their disposi tion. : Two or three years of pov erty forces them to vote for a change. The change -comes. Four years of good times, peace arjd plenty ; makes them restless and they long for anything to break the monotony. The monotony is broken sure enough and so are they - every time they get a Democratic admin istration -Eugene Register.., i DYSPKP3IA CAN Bli.CUKUD BY TJSINO Acker's Dyspepsia Tablets.

Two Certain Results to Trade and '.Labor If Bryan should be Elected. PORTLAND Oct. 11. I BUI BBkud to give my opinion as n business man unci employer of laoorne lo thoetTootou tho ireutmil prosperity of the country, In case of Mm eleollon ot Mr. William J. Bryan, and particularly upon the State of Oregon. Would there b a general commotion ot business and deoroasa of credit? What, olloot would Bryan's election have on tho Kiiout army of workers? . . -. It may be well to rovlow tho past to some ostent, that wo mav juiltro what would bo tho elTcot ot the election of Mr. Bryan. Wo had u remarkable do (rreo ot prosperity In business under tiouublioan politics from 1875 to 18112. This was during tho time that wo re turned substantially to the specie basis, which inspired our country with oon fldencc in the stability of our monetary system, with tho exception ot tho tlino when the Sherman bill, providing tor tho purchase of $4,600,000 of silver per mouth was onuoteil, at tho solioitatlou ot tho representatives of the silver slates, in order to bolster up silver, which had commenced to decline, in uonscquoDca of largo production throughout the world. This aotonuied depression in tho 'country and tended to create distrust in our monolnry sys tem, tho elTeel of which compelled cou g.ess to repeal the act. General discouragement seened to take hold of the minds of tho people. In 18t3, after the election of Mr. Cleve land, few, it anv, new enterprises wero I inaugurated, and those already in ex j istenco were pm-alyzed to a great ex tent, uioorers sought employment without avail; they thronged the street seeking employment lor hall tho usual wages to support their families, but no ono had the courage to start new en terprises. Mechanics wore out ot em ployment, railroad receipts throughout the country dropped off, general reor ganisation ot bankrupt railroads took place, street railway receipts full one third, many employes had to be dis charged. When, however, Mr. McKin ley was inaugurated, confidence re turned. The Dintrlcy tariff act was passed, and foreign commodities wero taxed. All kinds of manufacturing In dustries were stimulated, railroad busi ness revived, street railroads wero again patronized, people were profita bly employed in all vocations bf life; mecbumcs were again lu domund at remunerative- wages, buildings were orected in all portions of the country. Products. of the country wero .in de mand, at greatly Increased prices, New markets are being opened to our people through the acquisition of tho new ter ritorial possessions. When wo take all these tliinsis into consideration, tho el clinnoIMr. Bryan would lie a groat calamity to tho busi ness and labor interests of the country. He threats to overthrow the eoldBtnird ard and bisnrraignmcutof lnbor against capital would engender distrust, dis courage new enterprises, and lessen tho demand for labor. This, together with the known policy of the Democratic p.irty to reduce the tarin on many of our home products, would lower the price of all such products of the coun try, and cause the country to be flooded wun loreign productions to our innirv. Bryan's policy to abandon, tho newly acquireu possessions would lessen the growing demand for our products in those markets. It would discourage new enterprises tha can be carried on in those possessions, where our young mon would go and naturally become the directing - and covcrninf class. The Philippines, which offer a field for our energy and enterprise, would be closed, and other countries would reap wnere we nave sown. Home laoor would be robbed of its just reward, and our streets would again be thronged wun too unemployed, Beeklng a pre carious and uncertain employment with inaaeriunte remuneration. ; When capital can be usefully em ployed, labor is employed, ami both prosper. When canltal Is endangered It seeks retirement and Is hidden, and labor seeks in vain for emnlotincnt (jive free scope to American genius and enterprise. In tho opening of our new possessions and elsewhere, labor and American genius will be freelv em ployed for tho betterment of their con dition and for the uni versa; prosperitv of our country. Seek to destroy capital and you destroy labor. They must go iinuij in iiuiiu wibu prosperity. ir cap ital receives more than Its just share itsnouia oe equitaniv distributed be tween capital and labor, by just and equitame aroi umion laws, mat eacn may receive its lust reward. The State of Oregon and the City of romanu are prosnerou under u resent conditions. Ti e only cloud, apparently, mat. ousourea tno Horizon ol pro oneed anu continued prosperity Is the possl' bility of the election of Mr. Bryan Let us keep our senses. ' " H. W. CORIIBTT. CART.

'-.ten .'"In a letter published a few days ago in the Oregonian Hon. S. C. E. Woods in discussing the bill passed by Congress in regard to tlie Puerto Rico, said: 'We are mulcting Porto Rico at the command of two or three men, in defiance of 'our pjain uty' under the constitution.' In his speech hero Thursday evening the same gentleman, after listening to the able explanation given by Congressman Tongue as to the rea sons that the law for Porto Rico be ing as they were, said 'I have, since arriving in Grants Pass this morn ing, for the first time; .read tho bill in regard to Porto Rico, and while I thought that it had been change J in the interests bf tho rich men, I am now convinced that the interpre tation which Mr. Tongue gives it is a fair one and I- now believe . that his construction of it is true.'. Thus, when pinned down to the, fact Mr. Woods had not even read the bill which he hud seen Qt.to. character ize as 'mulcting Porto Bioo.

Capt. Houston diod in tho Phil ippines fighting with Lawton. Ho was ono of thu eight captains whom Roosevelt took with him to Cuba on tho expedition' which made the rough-rider regiment famous. Four of these captains havo died sinco El Canoy arid two of them yot bear tho wounds of . Mauser , bullets. Houston was ono of Col. "Teddy's" favorite officers, and so ho asked to seo his mother. Sho camo through tho crowd wearing tho weeds of mourning for her boy. Willing hands helped her up tho stairway and Roosevelt took her arm and grasped her hands, 'with "Clod bless you, Mr. Houston, your son was an honor to you and to his country." Her voice was choked with sobs as sho put aside her veil and looked tearfully at the man who led her hero to victory in Cuba. Sho said: "He thought the world of you, Col. Roosevelt. Thai's why I wanted to meet you. I hopo von will win, sir. My son thought you should. he president some day, an I hope you will. I think von mea to stand for the 'things that1 ho stood for and for which ho died, so I hope you will win." -few Heard tho words except Roosevelt and thoso nearest to him but the audience knew her nnil hi story and. tho women there weii with her as she left . the, platform and mingled with tho crowd.

Bryan says that iiitne trusts havo been for Jicd under thn present than under all previous administrations, If so, there must hiivu been n strung inducoiuoiit a vast amount of lnit-1-noes for them to transact. Wo never hear of trusts being extensively nrganiitod in bad times. Then, ton, the investment of money always means more employment for wage workers and a bviu'fll to labor. Capital may be utterly dissipated, but in tho cotirso of tho vvnturo it must pay wages. Trusts may go down to disaster, and fail to return any profits to' capital, but they must pay wages and liciiellt labor as long as thoy coulinuu iu busi uess. The ono olnss cerium to gain is labor. Workihgmeii understand all this a great deal butter than Bryan does. KXPKHIKNOK I TUB II KHT TEACH Kit.
