Tint campaign for bimettlism begun in 1890 will surely score a victory in 1900. Banks, barracks, burglars and beggars are four of tho leading products of the emperialistic gold party of which Mark ilaiina is dictator. Any man who admits that a govern ment bond is a safe investment must necessarily admit that a government currency is just as safe no matter if it .be gold, silver, nickel or paper. Why all this talk about the New York -renegades, such as Croaker, Hill, Bel mont and their Bet? They are not demo crats. They have no right to assist in making a platform or choosing a candi date for the party they opposed in 1890. Those so-called democratic papers that listen to the siren songs of Belmont, the Judas who poses as a democrat in Kew York, are not very reliable. Beware of all such papers; they will betray yon, 4 ho same as Belmont and his gang did 1lio ticket in 1806. Ouu musters down in the White House at Washington were very eager to ship $3,000,000, part silver, to Cuba to give o the poor Cuban soldiers which is perhaps all right. But there are several million poor, hungry and patriotic Americans in th'iB country who are much more deserving of luch a gift. "The sacred rights of property must be protected," So say the judgeB in declar ing that the rich tax-shirkers must not e taked on their incomes; but the poor must pay a stamp tax on everything, to pay the expense of waging a war of con gest in order that the rich tax-thiikers tnd favored contractors may "legally" rob on government contracts. Indeed his is one of the white man's burdens. IMPERIALISM DEFINED. Thkrk are in this country a great van ity of beets and beats. There is the pulse beat, the heart beat, the police man's beat, the sugar beet, the red beet, the dead beat. The last is a species of biped that takes the local paper for sev eral years, and then, when requested to pay up, throws the paper back into the postuffice marked "refused." This is the genuine dead beat, and it grows in All parts of the country. What could the little band of million aire oppressors of labor in this country lo if the oppressed would only be as true and loyal to each other as the oppressors tre? Why, the people could win pros perity and freedom at one election were they only organized as the rich trust magnates and their puppets, the law makers at Washington, are. The op pressed people alone are to blame for their present condition. The words of William Jennings Bryan anent the foreign policy of our govern ment strike the keynote. A policy of extreme expansion is to be inaugurated in order to keep in the background the industrial condition of the American people. While squabbling over what is good for the 8,000,000 people of the Phil ippines it is hoped we will forget that 80,000,000 in our own land are being plundered by class legislation. In his new book, entitled "From Re public to Empire," referring to the sub ject which has been so constantly before the public recently, Mr. Bryan says: "Imperialism finds its inspiration in dollars, not in duty. It is not our duty to burden our people with increased taxes in order to give a few speculators an opportunity for exploitation ; it is not our duty to sacrifice the best blood of our nation in tropical jungles in an at tempt to stifle the sentiments which have given vitality to American institu tions ; it is not our duty to deny to the people of the Philippines the rights for which our forefathers fought from Bun ker Hill to Yorktown. Imperialism has been described as "The White Man's Burden." But since it crushes the wealth producer beneath an increas ing weight of taxes, it might with more propriety be called "The Poor Man's Load." Goiddug papers continue to suggest, "logical" candidates for the presidency on the democratic ticket. They seem very much interested. But democrats care nothing for their suggestions. Bryan will be the democratic candidate. Comment on the following from the Oregonian is unnecessary: Troops have been ordered to Wardner, and th;s is the least that the adminis tration can do. Idaho being a populist state, nothing is to be leared at tnt next republi :a 1 convert tkm. It will indeed be miraculous if there is not another rebellion in Cuba and Porto Ittco before many months have elapsed. The inhabitants of those ill fated islands have too long been strug gling for the rights of all mankind free dom to meekly submit to the insolent treatment they are now receiving from the spirits in control. They will soon begin Markinley's assimilation, unless they bow in meeK and humble submis sion to their new slave drivers. It is amusing to read in the gold ad vocating papers, under big headlines, of the great prosperity that is bounding over the country then in another col. umn to read of men striking for living wages, and of the hard work of the charity boards to care for the paupers and worthy poor who aie unable to get work. And now our Christian(?) administra tion has ordered a batch of Bibles print d in Tagalog, the Filipino dialect. Mc Kinley ought to have the Declaration of . Independence, Lincoln's Emancipation Proclamation and some of his own speeches also printed in Tagalog, to show the Tag;tlogs what a king of the chame leon he is. More peace jubilees in this country and more war ships, ammunition and .American soldiers being sent to assimi Sate the Filipinos Is about as consistent aa any of the things done by the present . occupant of the White House, by and t-,vith the consent of Marcus and the votes of the "innocents" w ho were bam I boozled by the "international agree meut'iW in 1390. A return to the free coinage of silver would open up the mines of the West and put new life and energy into every Industry in the land except one gam bling in gold intorest-bearing bonds. With the opening of the mines and the mints there would be a new demand for the products of the mills, which would also begin to hum again and indeed the bright sun of prosperity would once more be visible to the American laborer and wealth producer as well as to the Wall-street gambler. fcvERY American workingman who thinks he is benefitted by a high protec tive tariff would change his mind were he to put party prejudice aside and fairly investigate the matter. He would find that the high tariff produces no rev enue to the government, neither does it increase the wages of the American la borer nr mechanic. The only ones it benefits are the manufacturer and mill owners. It enables them to charee more for their products, but the work men do not share the spoils. The big city papers that worship at the golden shrine of imperialism and shout protection and prosperity tell beautifully worded tales of the "good times" this country is now eniovincr because last year the millionaires con tributed about $11,000,000 they never earned to endow pro'essorships and col leges in which to teach their dogmas and doctrines. When a few men invest millions of dollars in an enterprise it is fair to reason that they expect to reap the profits themselves. If the common people can see cause for rejoicing in the fact that the American youth is to be taught the sophistry of the gold bug im perialiststhe superiority of the classes over the masses, etc. then let us all rejoice. Great preparations are being made at lavish public expense for a peace jubilee at Washington this month. Great Scott, what sacrilege I A peace jubilee, and murders being committed daily in the Philippines; more soldieis being sent there daily ; trouble brewing in I'orto lt'co, Cuba and Samoa; new war ships being contracted for and a brutal policy of tyranny being propigated by our national administration 1 let peace jubilee is to be pulled off in May in our national capital ! Let us cease murdering: let us have peace. Never mind the jubilee. We must expand, say the imperialists, in order to find a market for our sur plus products. It looks very plausible but will not bear investigation when considered from an economic standpoint How we are going to increase our trade with Oriental countries when wages there are trom 10 to 20 cents a day is one point those great civilization pro' motors never discuss. Perhaps ourcap tains of industry can devolve a plan by which wages in this country can be so reduced as to enable us to not only fur nish those people food, but all other necessary articles which make life worth living. But how are they going to pay? As China is a silver standard country won't this precipitate that dreaded flood of which we have heard so much through the gold standard press? Some of our contemporaries are wor ried because the Courier-Herald is not doing the ca.amnitv act just now. This paper has no need to howl calamnity The oracles of B.imon pure republicanism such as the Portland Oregonian, the Seattle Post Intelligencer, the Tacoma Ledger and other shining lights of the g. 0. p., have relieved us of that duty It is only necessary to quote their edito rials on "Algerism," "McKinleyism,' "Canned Beef," "Hannaism," the "trusts and other kindred subjects to get the most monstrous and heart rend mgea' unity ho .vl of the nineteenth can tury. The populist party in its palm iest days never cried thief, traitor and villain so vehemently and so pathetic any as are ineae republican organs which, in days gone bv, made all man ner of light 01 the warnings ot the pop ulist party. JNow ttiat these warnings are coming true our republican brethren are doing the calamity act much more artistically than we have ever hoped to do it. Meddlers. Ever since Adam and Eve ate of the forbidden fruit, there have been med dlers people who are not content un less they are having somathing to say and do in matters which do not concern them. When they come together, they fairly make the air smoke, talking about that young couple, wondering when they will marry, or whether they ever will or not, the propriety of thi match, remarks reflecting on their character ; if they do not happen to know every thing about it, they leave no stone un turned to find out. They talk about every body in the neighborhood. They go to see the sick folks and fly off the handle and make sport of the surroundings and give the hostess fits for not taking batter care ot the eick, and then go to church when Sunday comes and pass for saints.JThe good Loid deliver us from such. But human nature, tainted by Satanic in fluence is capable of d ing anything. Let us hope that this class of people will never get to heaven. JCXTA. Harmony, Or., April 29. For Poor Farm, Redland, May 1. To the Editor : As there is a "new broom" in the court house would it not be a good time to stir up the people to have the county court purchase a poor farm? The present system is a disgrace and abuse to the taxpayers ot this county. There are people on the charge of the county that would not go to the poor farm if we had such an institution, but as it ia now, an order is drawn in favor of some third party so a not to get the names of the parties that it is intended for. There sjenn to ba paople on tho charge of the county that have children grown up and well to do, but do not think anything of receiving aid from lh county as no names ne.i ;be men tioned in the pipers, while, if they were to be transplanted on the poor farm, the 'pride" of suoh p3rsous m ty be touched and cause them to take care of their own relatives. The sum expended is' from'J$300 to $400 per month. While if this sum could be given direct to those for whom it is intended it would, no doubt, do more good to the recipient, but while it passes through third hands it is liable to be scattered along the way. There is no doubt in my mind but by the county purchasing a farm it would be a great saving to the taxpayers, which is the main object sought. ' Yours respectfully, Louis Funk.

Wb have said many mean things about Mark Hnnna and what we have said was undoubtedly true. But Mark is one man, and the only man we know of in the United States senate, or in any other official position, for that matter, who has had the courage to express him self as he felt as regards the obligations of publio officials. . It has been much quoted and commented upon, llanna remarked that "No man in public office owes the public anything," This ia ab solutely true; it may sound strange to some, but it ia nevertheless true, and will apply until the present system of nominating public officials is changed. It is true that all the people vote to put men in office, but the machine first nom inates the candidates, then the people hoorra for them, and think they have had a big part in the play. Well, they have they have played the hand that was dealt to them by the sharpers. When all the people express their rights as they should, ignore the machine and take part in the selection and nomina tion of candidates, then, and not until then, will the words of Mark Hanna he nutrue. f , Orepiaa and ConrWerald $2 The Courier-Herald would suggest to its readers that it will pay thein to Btudy carefully the advertisements in the paper.
