IU'Hskl Sags Is quoted Saturday as
irjayinf; to a newspaper Interviewer who
tasked him what he thought of the Uni-
tted States treasury's offer to buy $25,
1 000,000 of bonds :
-"I believe Secretary Gage's action has
aod the financial world from a disas
4rous iauio. No one who has been in
touch with business enterprises during
the past few months can fail to have re
; allied the stringency of the money mar
ket. The sharps took advantago of the
situation. They were making a rich
harvest of it, but the government has
.stopped their game."
This is a different story from the one
the money sharks told us when they
wanted to buy binds. Jsow, after the
Interest and premium gets as high as
possible, they want to unload on Uncle
rBaro. Notice the words, on account oi
"'the stringency of the money market."
af we had more money, thore would be

Please answer. Eugene Guard, Nov. 13.
It is not a very profound secret, or we
would not mention it, that the Hon.
George C. Brownell, of Oregon City, has
been promised b,y the party managers
the nomination for congress at the next
election, to take the place of the Hon
Thomas H. Tongue. It is also known to
eiongh of the party bosses to make a
quorum that the eloquent orator from
the falls of the Willamette intends to
force tiiem to fulfill their contract or he
will appeal to the people and tell them
some things as well as others. He may
be excused for feeling suspicious. He
has an example of treachery, ingratitude
and lying before him in the man who
received $2000 as a bribe to induce him
to decline the registership of the Oregon
Oily land office and then sold the super-
intendency of the penitentiary for $1000
and did not deliver it. This shining ex
ample rears up more than six leet above
the party, peddles out patronage all over
the st'tte, distributes advice but nothing
more valuable to the soldiers returning
from the Philippines, and journeys in
Pullman trains all the way to Washing
ton to advise the government on impor
tant matters of sta'e. When such ver
min are spewed up to the top from the
bottom of earth's sewers, it is time for
men who have been promised nomina
tions or offices to get a gun.
Brownell flopped along with Mitchell,
Hermann, Fulton and many others from
free silver to the gold standard when
Hanna cracked his whip. He stood in
with the party managers in the sena
torial struggle. He helped them gerey
mander the state so they feel sure of a
majority in the next legislature, and
helped them to do many other things.
They promised in return to help him get
the nomination for congress. Eugene
Journal, ex-Secretary of State Kincaid's
paper.
IT LOOKS SUSPICIOUS.
The following interview was printed
in the Oregonian of Nov. 12, 1899. It is
from the chairman of the populist state
central committee. It is to be hoped
that Mr. Williams has been incorrectly
reported. If not, it may explain, in
part, the terms and conditions upon
which the republicans in the lat legis
lature voted for the initiative and refer
endum amendment. It will be remem
bered that John D. Young, ex-chairman
of the populist state cential committee,,
had a similar interviow in the Oregonian
two or three months ago when he went
over to the republicans. It is just as
well thnt" the reform forces know who
their friends are in the coming battle.
Who next? Read what the Oregonian
says: ,
"Judge Frank Williams, of Ashland,
who has been a prominent populist for
the past 10 years, and who was offered
the nomination for congress that Van-
derburg afterward accepted, was asked
yesterday what he thought Oregon pop
ulists would base their opposition to the
republicans upon in the next state cam
paign. He said he hardly knew. He
docs not look for fusion with the demo
crats any more, as he feels sure neither
party desires it. The democrats would
evidently pattern their state platform on
Mr. Bryan's projection, which would be
silver and anti-expansion, but he thinks
the populists are divided on the Philip
pine question, many being, in favor of
lighting the present war to a finish, while
others think with Borne of the Eastern
republicans that we should call our ar
mies home. As for himself, be thinks
the present war In the Philippines is the
natural sequence of our intervention on
behalf of Cuba, If the present war Is
wrong, the first stop toward the libera
tion of Cuba was wrong,
" 'Do you look for the populists to
nominate a separate national ticket next
year?
" 'That, too, is a hard question, The
lines for the next campaign are hardly
drawn yet. As for myself, I think the
people's party should get back on the
original Omaha platform, which It
should never have left, I think direct
legislation is of more Importance than
the question of silver, and aa for the
Philippine matter, I don't think it wil'
figure in the next campaign at all. If
the republican party would announce
itself In favor of the initiative and refer
endum,! would consider that party good
enough for me.' "
Bro. Porter just cow is abusing the
republicans because they do not support
his personal organ in the manner he
would like. He has done 'nothing to
speak of for the republicans, or for any
one, for that matter, except L. L. P.,
whose faithful servant he Is . How can
he expect anything else? There is a fine
opening here for a republican paper that
is run on business principles and is not
always after "graft."
Let's Be A merlcam.
Editor Courier-Herald.
YOUR invitation to reformers of every
creed to express their sincere opin
ions as to what course of campaign
to pursue in the coining contest through
the medium of your paper is evidence of
a high purpose on your part. It is evi
dence of Americanism, and that Ameri
can ideas are still uppermost in the
minds of some editors in this country.
And it is perhaps well that we take ad
vantage of the opportunity, before it is
"everlabtingly too late," for melbinks
we can see the dark shadow of "censor
ship'' slowly crossing the Pacific home
ward bound to muzzle the "traitorous"
editors who dare condemn tbe "admin
istration" and allow American citizens
t express their unfettered opinions
through the columns of their papers.
This may be a little in advance of the
times, but a man who commits a crime
or violates a moral law and is patted on
the back for his deed may surprise his
fellow citizens prematurely as evidence
of his high esteem of his personal pre
rogatives. Yes, this is still a free, a
glorious country for millionaires.
But 1 am drifting away from my orig
inal purpost. You ask us for our opin
ions regarding future political action. I
shall be free to express mine. The last
campaign has been instructive in a high
degree not for the worse, but, let us
hope, for good. Three distinct parties
fused, or "mixed"" is perhaps a better
word; it was an imperfect union of ideas,
backed by men who partially mistrusted
each other; and naturally so "just got
introduced to each other, you know."
But time and conditions have changed J
the introduction has grown, let us hope,
into better acquaintance and firmer
friendship. If this be true, we have
common thoughts, common interests
and common motives. Each has the
welfare of the other at heart, and there"
is one word that expresses the situation,
and that is "union."
Let us scatter partyism to the winds
and consider ourselves not populists,
democrats or republicans, but American
citizens who realize the perilous situa
tion of their country, and let our highest
and only aim be to rescue it from its en
emy. Do we rea.ize that our liberties
are in danger? Can we discern the un
derhanded cunning of the administra
tion ? Are we awake to the fact that our
republic is in greater danger of disrup
tion than it was in 1860? Thei. as Amer
ican citizens let us unite for common
defense, for, "united, we stand j divided,
we fall."
In regard to a platform, I believe in a
simple, plain platform, readily under
stood by all. The initiative and refer
endum, government ownership of mo
nopolies and a government money, with
the Declaration of Independence at
tached, would be my idea of a platform,
or at least its surest foundation.
Robert Ginther.
Shubel, Ore., Nov. 19.
A CORRECTION.
In Hon. G.wge Ogle's article in the
last issue a part of a sentence was left
out, which made the sentence meaning
less: "Why not interpret the 'etc. af
ter the government ownership plank as
Henry George would have done, to mean
that any monopily becomes a menace to
the public?" The last part should have
read : "To mean that when any mo
nopoly becomes a menace to the public
good it should be acquired and operated
by the public."
. . . .Before the bill was passed it was
a case of the sheriff giving the work out
and the printer putting in his bill; and
Cheney nut in his bill for 30 cents a line
for the last tax list and was paid that
amount. Enterprise, Nov. 10.
In the editorial in last week's Enter
prise concerning the printing of the tax
list the type makes Us say that the tax
list one year ago cost the county 30 cents
a line. It should have beeu 20 cents a
line. Enterprise, Nov. 17.
See lie No. 5 in last week's issue of the
Courier -Herald. The last quotation
from Bro, Porter's Blieet is not true, and
be knows it. He would not have cor
rected it at all had not a county official
called his attention to the misstatement.
He gets out of it now by claiming a typo
graphical error. Why d'd he not know
what he was talking about when he
made the assertion in the first place?
This is one way of "taking water."
A bad actor, a briefless lawyer, an in
competent editor, a statesman for reve
nue only, a coiner of sounding words
and tinkling phrases that is the demo
cratic offoring for the presidency. A
graduate of the Ohio school nf polities.
a man without convictions, a Bhifty op
portunist, aa abject follower of public
clamor, an apostle of medieval tariffs, a
sacriflcer of public inteiests to private
and cabalistic ends, a betrayer of civil
service reform that is the republican
offering for the presidency. It is a for
lorn outlook, but it is, apparently, hope
less of amendment. Oregonian.
There is a demand among republican
politicians for the retirement of Hanna
from the chairmanship of the national
committee since his ignominious failure
to keep the state of Ohio in line with
the president.

Favors Union of Reform Forces.
Editor Oouripr-Herald.
YOUR paper is getting down to busi
ness on politics. Being a German,
I sympathize with the Boers in
South Africa in their struggle against
the British empire. I had enough im
perialism in Germany and want none of
it in mine. - "
I want to say about this proposed
union of forces that it is the only right
way to do. I can't got 8 cents a pound
Iir my hops this year, and they should
worth 20 cents. We can't sell wheat
a profit, and all farm produce the
same. What is the country comine to?
The next thing will be a trust that will
take in the farmer's crops, and the farm-
with them. Hasn't he been swin
dled enough by the republican poli
ticians with their various remedies for
the hard times?
We have had hard times since 1893.
when old Cleveland repealed the Sher
man silver law, and we won't have eood
times till we have William J. Bryan and
the free coinage of silver law. We want
lirect legislation and the people to own
the railroads. I have a letter from a
ierman friend in Southern Oregon, who
says it is a good country, but the rail
roads take everything in sight, leaving
the people nothing. I don't like our
legislature members riding on free
passes. It does not look right.
Ihe people are paying taxes to keeD
100,000 soldiers in arms, the most of
them out of the country trying to subju
gate people who want to establish an in-
ependent governmeut.
Let all reformers come together on
one line of action to do what is beet for
our couniry. We want separation from
any and all alliance with British finan
cial or political systems of whatever a-
ure and depend on American manhood

The Best Christmas Gift of All.
In choosing a Christmas eift for a
friend, what can afford more pleasant or
lasting pleasure than a subscription to
the Youth's Companion? The delight
with which it is welcomed on Christmas
morning is renewed every week in the
year. The charm of it is disclosed little
by little as the months run their course.
There is no household in which it will
not prove an inspiration.
Those who wish to present a year's
subscription to a friend may also have
the beautiful new Companion Calendar
for 1900 sent with it. This calendar is a
reproduction in twelve color printings of
three exquisite designB by a celebrated
American artist, a member of the Amer
ican Water-Color Society. In addition
to this, all the issues of the Corapan ion
for the remaining weeks of 1899 are sent

The Rev. Irl R. Ilteks Almanac.
There is no comparison b3tween for
mer editions and this splendid almanac
for 1900, now ready. Printed in beauti
ful colors, on much finer paper, its 196
pages are packed with invaluable infor-
mation on storms, astronomy and mete
orology. It is illustrated with nearly
200 finest half tones and other engrav
ings. The superb book would sell any
where for 50 cents, but it costs only 25c
a copy, and every subscriber to Rev. Irl
R. Hicks' now famous paper, Word and
Works, at $1 a year, receives this elegant
almanac aa a premium. Word and
Works is a recognized leader among the
best family and scientific journals, while
nothing of its kind can compare with
the Hicks Almanac. One dollar a year
is a nominal price for such unique and
useful publications. Professor Hicks
has justly, and of necessity, withdrawn
his storm and weather forecasts from all
free almanacs, having generously given
his time and labor free for nearly twenty
years.

or Government Money.
At close of our Civil War in 1865,
there appeared in the London Times
the following :
" If that mischievous financial pol
icy which had its origin in the North
American Republic during the late
Civil War in that country, should be
come indurated down to a fixture,
then that government will furnish its
money without cost. It will have all
the money that is necessary to carry
on its trade and commerce. It will
become prosperous beyond precedent
in the history of civilized nations of
the world. The brain and wealth of
all countries will go to North America.
THAT GOVERNMENT MUST BE
DESTROYED OR IT WILL DE
STROY EVERY MONARCHY ON
THIS GLOBE."
The famous Hazzard circular, to
capitalists in New York, and the Buell
Bank circular to United States Bank
ers, both emanating from London, and
the fabulous corruption fund raised in
England and Germany, estimated at
$1,500,000, were the agents that se
cured the closing of our mints against
silver.
- The "walk into my parlor" policy.,
of England, during and since the
Spanish War, is the latest evidence
of English Diplomacy in shaping the
destiny of the United States Govern
ment. Notwithstanding the famine price
of wheat, the Spanish War, and fabu
lous expenditures of money by our
government during the past year, gold
has increased in value eleven per cent
and all other values decreased in the
same proportion.
For a thorough understanding of
the money question, or silver issue,
the Cincinnati Enquirer has uniformly
given evidence of its ability to'teach,
explain and produce all facts and
truth. 4t is a paper that ought and
can be read by all classes with pleas
ure and profit.
