.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

dave HU Son to Hit Country and (
Want! the Flag; to 4tay In j
the Phlllplnu. . (
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.

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

BUSINESS CONTRACTION
AND DECREASE OF CREDIT.
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.

.'"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

At Hamilton, Ohio, Oct. 1(1, while
CiOv.vRoosovolt was addressing it
big audioncu, word was brought to
him that the mother of Captain
Houston was in tho crowd and
wished an introduction.
ltoosovelt stopped talking and
asked that Mrs. Houston como upon
tho stand.
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.

DRY AN AND TRUSTS.
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.
