OREGON CITY, MARCH 10, 1899.
To Subscribers.
The Oourikr-Herald lias put no ac
counts in any agent's hands lor collec
tion, but we uuilerstand Mr. Fitch has
attempted to collect some of bis back
Accounts in this way. We have nothing
to do with these. The date opposite
your name on the paper represents the
time to which you have paid. If any
errors occur we are ever ready to correct
them.
You are wrong, Bro. Stevens, we have
not taken matter from your paper and
published it with or without credit. We
published an article, written by another,
which was the duplicate of one publish
ed in your sheet, but we secured it from
ihe writer and by his consent.
The County Commissioners on Wedes
day received bids for county printing,
which were laid over 'till Friday. But
two bills were filed, those of the Press
and Courier Hkrald. Brother Porter
evidently thinks he is entitled to the
printing without bidding because he
fcad the bill putting the matter in the
board's hands passed by legislature
a sort of attorney fee, we suppose. But
the members of the board are not built
that way.
Bush's bank, in Salem, has swallowed
the first national bank. Thats what we
told you only a few weeks ago no use
to have so many bunks, takes too many
cashiers and clerks; and then itsaes
cent or interest on capital invested in
buil'Ungs. When the banks get prop
erly socialized (practicing co-operation
instead of competition) one bunk in a
ttown like Salem or Albany will be
enough. It takes the bankers and man
iifacturers to show the larw inn people
tthat it pays to co-operate. Ex
Everv man in the land who believes
that this country can and ought to make
its own financial, as well as all other
laws, should begin now to help fight its
next great battle for freedom. One way
to help is to subscribe) and pay fur
his county paper which is already fight
ing the great battle for the restoration
of the money of the constitution, No
man can be t trur or Bincere bimetal
list who does no' show his colors by
patronizing his ..il party paper. Now
is the time to c, list in the cause, come
in and intern w the capttau.
One ol the Belmonts has recently
tutabliehe I a weekly paper in New York
forthe .sole purpose of playing second
Hd'Ue to the Hothschild's kite the
ropub party. The name of the paper is
lire Verdict, and it is a well edited sheet
tout it will never cut the musta.d j for
its gold worshipping abortion and
weakly yawps that: "silver is a dead
issue." Now this yowl has such a
ho8tnutty and republican din to it that
it will certainly not deceive the people
da IU00 as international bimetallism did
in 1890. A late issue of the Verdict
declares that "times are prosperous in
Jt'ew Yoik," therefore the balance of the
country should ignore the silver issue,
and then it yelps loud and ferociously
"".crush the trusts," yet at the , same
dime U bows down to, and worships and
lcfemls the corrupt fountain head of all
the vast aggregation of truststhe
Rothschild clique of gold gamblers. It
"would seem to n close observer that the
Sew York gung of gold brokers are
"seeiu' things'1 and that the Imhecihcal
arguments of their champion, the
Verdict, is not going to givo them any
relief as the great mass of the intel
lectual people, not only of the United
states but of the world are becoming
weary of paying tribute to such worthless
plunderers of nations as the Uothsch'lds
4ind their hired agents.
Whhs the present epidemic of "Trus
Somonla" is carried to the goal it is in
tended to bo carrieii to bj the trust
promoters, then, and probably not until
(hen, there will be a wail go up from
those who now sneer at the paper or
the speaker who throws a javaliti at the
salamander that is out to destroy all
competition, to reduce all wage earnei's
"ctipend and to rako Into the maw of the
jnoloch extortionate profits. When the
plan now laid out, and which by the
.aid, assistance and co-operation of the
4jold standard republican party, will
oon be perfected, every mill, maim
Jacturing enterprise and business in the
land worth having an interest in, will
e owned, controlled and operated on
the trust or combination plan and as
oon as these arrangements are all com
pleted, many thousands of commercial
raveling men wttl be out of a job, tl e
leading hotels in many small cities will
find business so dull that they will be
forced to cIosh up, the livery business
will stagnate, the passenger business on
stub roads and main lines will be cur.
tailed and the merchant will have no
choice of who he may buy his goods
from he will have to send his orders
and his cash to the nearest "branch
house" of the trust, and pay just what
the monstor demands and sell at the
price he is instructed to or he can get
no more supplies. This is the reward
that the people of this great and glori
ous country get for allowing their preju
dices to get the better of their judg
ment, p.nd electing a nincompoop of the
trusts to the highest office in the land.
How much longer are they, the people,
to be such dam-fools?
BACK AGAIN.

Advocate.
The Advocate is one of the best pop
ulist papers in the northwest and we are
glad to see Mr. Fitch back in the har
ness again, if he did run a republican
eheet after selling out to the writer and
agreeing not to go in business in con-
petition for four years. Mr. Fitch is a
good .writer and takes well with the
people in general and if he was only
sincere in his convictions he would ITo
the reform cause a world of good. Suc
