Bi-rietallic Silver Republican Call.
Notice is hereby given that a mass
convention of all republicans of Clacka
mas county, Ore., who believe in the
independent free coinage of both gold
and silver at a ratio of 10 to 1, the abo
lition of all corporate or private banks
of issue and the issue of all money by
the government alone, which shall ue a
full legal tender for all debts, public and
private, and a government of, for and by
the people, best attained by direct legisla
tion be and is hereby called to meet in
Oregon City, Or., at 11 o'clock a. m.,
March 19th, 1898, for the purpose of
electing delegates to the state conven
tion to be held in Portland, Or, on
March 23d, 1898, and for the transaction
of any other business that may come
before the meeting
Wm. Baki.ow, County Chairman.
Wk have been asked several times
why the republican circuit court ofllcials
do not push the case of a deputy official
that "went wrong" some months since.
Tiir silver forces are making a splendid
showing all over the country. Harmony
prevails among all bimetallists. Well
may old Bondholder Cleveland get
freightenud at the prospects of electing a
president wdio will not sell bonds for the
profit of bankers.
Tiik Maine naval board of inquiry has
not yet made a report. It is not stated
when they will Biibmit their findings
The American people are patiently
awaiting the result. Upon the report
may depend whether or not hostilities
between the United States and Spain
will commence.
If wo must have war to thrash Spain
for her cruel treatment of the Cuban
patriots and her dastardly deed in blow
ing up the Maine, let uh have it, and
prosecute it with American money.
Don't let us bond ourselves and our
posterity to the money power. There
is no honor in doing that.
Do not let the talk of war divert the
attention of tho people from the money
question. The clouds of war may pass
over, but the gold standard, which has
already destroyed more than all recent
wars together, is now in our midst. Wo
must destroy the monster gold before we
can huvo free institutions in this country.
Tiik f i,7(H),tHK) that llauna ordered to
be viven the Picrpont Morgan gang of
robbers in tho Kansas Pacillc deal, is
nearly as much as the appropriation by
the government for our coat defenses,
and would build two great battleships.
But the campaign debt must be paid, or
the vobber.x wid not "put up" for the
ncNt national contest. Ucview.
Kkitiu ii AS papers are busily engaged
these days reading out of the party those
republicans who believe that silver
should have equal privileges w ith gold
in our monetary system, and appreciate
the fact that there is no place for a silver
man in the republican party. They say :
"The republican platform denounces
free silver, therefore advocates of free
silver cannot be republicans."
McKinley "prosperity" has broken
lose in tho Wheeling iron and steel works,
which lias shut down because 1,1)00
workmen refused to submit to a reduc
tion of from 15 to 50 per cent in their
wages. It will be remembered that this
is one of the mills which luul largo
posters displayed previous to election in
November, ISM, saying if l'ryan was
t'lectod tho mill would close, but if Mc
Kinley was elected work would go on at
advanced wages.
It ia announced that "Cyclone" Davip,
one of the ablest and most prominent
leaders of the people's party, will come
to Oregon in the interest of the union
movement. lie was one of the members
of Texas' delegation to the populist
national convention in 1896, all of whom
were in favor of staying in the midle-of-
the-road. Mr. Davis knows that only
by a union of the silver-reform forces
can tiie republicans be defeated ; hence
this change in his attitude.
A former judge of the supreme court
of Oregon, elected as a republican, can
not support the gold standard policy of
his party. A correspondent to the Sa
lem Journal writes: The union bime
tallic club, of McCleay precinct, held a
highly successful meeting on Wednesday
evening. There was a large attendance.
Judge Waldo made the best argument
on sliver and the money question ever
heard here. The judge spent some time
in preparing it and it was a complete
history of the gold standard fraud.
Speaking as a silver republican it was
an invincible piesentation and should be
published.
It is an undoubted (act that the repub
lican national committee has determined
to buy the state election, to be held June
0th, in Oregon. Senator McBride, of
this Btate, says the fight can be made
and won on the gold standard, for which
he has declared himself, and the com
mittee proposes to tend at once one
hundred thousand dollars to Oregon and
as mucli more as may be necessary to
ensure success. The ' state will be
flooded with gold standard arguments.
Matter will be prepared and sent to
every paper, republican, populist, inde
pendent or democratic and insertion will
be paid for when it cannot be obtained
otherwise. Of course most of the papers
of all kinds will refuse to be bribed, but
some will accept. The people are
warned. The state will be bought or
stolen if it is possible to do it. Tlie
object is to affect the fall elections by
carrying Oregon for the gold standard
Albany Press.
Government for bondholders is be
coming quite common in the world
nations gone into the hands of a receiver.
All that the poor, miserable labors in
the Nile valley and their children for
three generations can earn, is to be paid
over to British bondholders, and the
government of Egypt gets its orders from
Lombard Street. Greece is mortgaged
and was not permitted to fight for its
interests by those who Jiold Grecian
bonds. In India, in Turkey, in Spain,
the inlluenceof the coupon is paramount j
the welfare of the people is a secondary
consideration. In late years in our own
country me influence ot weaitn is
dictating legislative measures, and
government policies is becoming more
and more apparent. Mr. Cleveland
disrupted his party in doing the biddings
of a money syndicate, which made
enormous profits out of a scandalous
bond deal. To-day all the trusts, all the
monopolies, every agency w hich is bleed
ing the country, has taken refuge under
the wing of the republican party, be
cause they fear the democratic party,
which has kicked them out. To them
party is a means to an end, and that end
is to get rich at everybody's expense,
right or wrong. Governor l'ingree.

Claude William, the infant son of Mr.
and Mrs. William Wright, aged seven
months and 10 days, died in this city
Sunday, March 13th. The little one
died of membianeous croup, and ail that
human skill could do was unavailing.
The funeral services were held at the
family residence Monday afternoon, and
were conducted by Rev. Dr. Williams.
The sympathy of many friends is ex
tended to the bereaved parents. A lady
friend of the family dedicates the follow
ing lines in memory of the deceased :
In memory of Darling Claude,
As UmhUt niotlu'i's, guiding buby steps,
When pluees ome at vviiieb the'tlny feet
Woul t trip, lift up the little ones In arms
Of iove, and set them down beyond all harm,
Ho did our father wateli the precious boy
Led o'r the stones by me, who stumbkd oft
Myself, but strove to help my darling on. ,
He saw the sweet limbs i altering, and saw
Kunsli w ays belore u.- where my arms would
full.
S i tvaidied from Heaven, and lilting tho dear
child.
Who smiled in leaving me, he put him down
' Beyond nil hurt, beyond my siirht and bade
Him wait forme! Shall I not then beglad,
And thanking God, press on to overtake.
