Tint campaign for bimettlism begun

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,

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.

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.

Oh, My Headaches!
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.
