Following the success of populism money will be drawn from the state, forced collec tions will be made, mills will close down, prices will be lower, failures will eliouiid and want oppress.

The total number of men now idle Is 2V(W The Rktirtrisi has studiously avoided in this campaign anything which might be considered in the line of mud-slinging, and it does not purpose in the last issue before election to resort to any such tactics, but there are some things which the voter should know before he helps to place in ofllce men who for any reason are Incom petent or unlit. The office of county re corder is a most Important one, as upon the care and neatness exercised in recording deeds and other papers must depend the title to many pieces of property in years to come. Any one who knows Thos. B. Han- kins is aware that he is a miserable penman who would ir elected botch the books or the recorder's office which have always been neatly kept, and turn over to his successor a set of records of which a 12-year old school boy might well be ashamed. He is incom petent to discharge the duties ol the office. The same may be said of K. H. Cooper who is the populist nominee for clerk. He not only has no knowledgiof law or legal forms, but he is a very poor penman and worse accountant. The records ot the county and circuit courts could not other than suffer at bis bands, and any one who knows his lack or ability could only con clude that the very important court records which he would be called upon to keep would be almost certain to become terribly jumbled. As important records as those ol the county and circuit courts ought never to be intrusted to one so utterly inconietent. John Everhart Seriously, dors any voter in Clackamas countv think that John Ever hart is capable or deciding a case in law, as he would be liable to be called upon to do. Are you willing to elect him to administer the law upon your estate, as be would have to do in case of your death? What experi ence has be had in business affairs which would pre-eminently lit him to administer succesfully the business of the county in volving the collection and expenditure of perhaps (100,000 per annum? Would he even know whether the other officers were collecting, expending and accounting in an honest and efficient manner? U were too bad to spoil a good farmer to get an incom petent and inefficient judge, and such he would surely prove himself. Send Inskeep, Casto and Bates to the leg islature and you have delegated your au thority to make laws to mere Impractical tools who would be legislators in name only. Tbe real maker of the laws would be some corrupt or demagogical leader who would lead tbem by the nose to do bis will. Casio is impractical, visionary, and there fore incapable, while neither of the others now enongb to act Intel ligentlv in legisla- ng. Neither could they tell by reading a bill what it would mean or do if enacted into law. They would simply have to take somebody's word for it and vote as he suid. Tug Kntkki'RIsk has upon several occa sions called the attention of the farmers and home owners of this county to the fact that populism is in line with and headed for an archy. This should be taken to the heart by every law abiding, home loving cilisen, Consider well the evidence. The populist papers and leaders endorse Coxey and his train-stealing, begging and pilfering gangs, Populist leaders distribute the same litera ture that the Chicago and New York an archists distribute. They teach many of the same doctrines and applaud the same seditious sentiments. Populists or this state and county have distributed literature advertising anarchistic paers. This Is one form of endorsement. The rank and tile or the party are not anarchists or given to It in any degree. Nor would they sanction It In the least if they knew what they were doing, but they have been led Into endorsing the populist, so called, principles through mis representation upon the part or the leaders who are either demagogues, fanatics, vil lains or fools. Such leaders always get their followers into trouble and escaping them selves to leave their diiHs to surfer the con- sequences. Farmers, laboring men, honest men ot all classes, open your eves now to the false teachings of the populist leaders and permit them to press on alone in the evil ways which they have chosen. You as an honest and law-abiding citizen cannot afford to countenance or support such a party. Tux campaign just closing has been In the main a clean one, but unfortunately in the last extremities of the tight the populists have taken to circulating false reports, two ot which are deserving of Secial notice. They say that the republicans and demo crats have combined, each having with drawn a certain number of their resective candidates. There is absolutely no founda tion for this report. Not a man on the re publican ticket, and so far as we know, not ademocratic candidate has withdrawn. Nei ther has there been any arrangement to ex change votes in any manner whatsoever. Republicans not only ran but should deny this lie most emphatically whenever they bear it. Another false report is, that the re publican candidates are trading votes. The Kktikmisi is not only satisfied that there is no foundation for this, but it is a fact that no candidate could trade and de liver anv portion of the intelligent vote which composes the republican party. You would not be trailed by any one. Your vote is your own. W by then be deceived into believing that any candidate is trading? He could not if ho would, and that settles It. A pkominknt candidate on the democratic ticket has for some time past been negotiat ing with eastern parties at his old home In Massachusetts to have them Invest money in this section. They wrote him that money Is becoming plenty In the K.ast for sale Investment, hut that they had been bled to such an extent In Kansas thut they ere very chary about investing In the West, and that It was not possible to do anything until afler they shall have become satlslled dial the stale Is not to follow In the foot sleps ol Kansas. This means that persona or means are not going to permit their money to go where the people are tinctured with, or dominated by poulisllc Ideas, Oregon voters who want to make times harder and money scarcer can do so by rotiug the populist ticket next Monday. tti&f. n ? rV Tus Kntkhi-hisi w ishes to call the alien lion or old soldiers to the dlsfranchlsemen In Kansas by the populists of over WW old soldiers, Inmates ot the soldiers' home. 0- position to Gordon K. Hayes for county Judge means support for Everhart who is an ultra populist, and who, If he had the IKiwer, would repeat the act of the Kansas Populists In this state. Everhart as county Judge would have the dispensing of the in digent soldiers' fund. Do the old soldiers of this county want that fund disposed by a man opposed to them or by one who is friendly? A republican vote for Uisley means Indirect support tor Everhart. No old soldier can afford to help In defeating Hayes to elect Everhart, the Incoiu pcteiil and dishonest vopullst. Port'Lists of this state are trying to secure votes tiK)ti the plea that It they ran carry Oregon this June several of the southern states will tie carried by their party In the fall and this will enable them not only to break up the solid South hut to elect a pres ident in IKDI. lloth of these pretexts are baseless and intended only to capture votes for the sake ot the spoils of office. While Oregon populists are boasting what they are going to do populists In the South are mak nig large calculations, but the leading dem ocratio organs are giving them fair notice that they ill be smashed, Just as tlie re publican parly was smashed In the South The Georgia Kniuirer-Biin tells them that "in Georgia they will go unoer by ?0,M majority." A DEMOCRAT STEAKS. Election June 4, 180. THE ISSUE. On Monday next you are going to vote, not merely for men to fill the offices, but upon policies and principles wbtcb will re dound to the good and upbuilding ot the state or drive her with increased speed down the incline which leads to sovereign and in dividual ruin. Every voter has a choice in this matter and will help to make the ver dict. Shall there be a change for the better in Oregon, or will you by your vote help to wake times worse and evils greater? Republican principles are safe, conserva tive and wise. They have been tried and proven good and beneficent for over thirty years. A vote of endorsement for them is the voice of the people saying to the civil ized world, we Till be guided by wise poli cies; we will payourdebtsinhonest money; we will guarantee to every citizen the pro tection of law and equal rights. Republican legislation and government may be relied upon to promote tbe best good of the Amer ican people. This will restore confidence, put money in circulation, give employment to labor and do much to make better times. Populist theories, which are the other Alternative offered, have been tried in Kan sas and other states abd have been found wanting. The success of populism is an announcement to the world that Oregon is comoiittted to ail the wild and visionary Sheriff Ganong has been making his fight for re-election as sheriff upon the ground that he has collected a large amount ot the back delinquent tax. A democratic tax- paver in the Three Sisters call that paper down and furnishes the following facta: " In your issue of May 17th you state pos itively that C. W. Ganong is entitled to tbe credit of collecting the delinquent taxes of I happened to be one of those unfortunates who through an error had taxes go delinquent, and I received three letters signed by C. H. Dye, threaten ing legal proceedings if the taxes were not mmediately settled. I did i.ot receive any letter from Ganong in regard to the matter. Now the records show that Dye got a commission for doing this work. The rec ords also show that Ganong received a com- ission and costs for collecting these same taxes. Only one of those men was legally entitled to receive pay for the work and Dye as authorized by the county clerk to do the work. "This matter should not be any great sur prise to the taxpayers, as it is on a line with the cases where John Daly, Mrs. Palmer, Chas. Schmidt, II. Koebler and many oth ers were charged exhorbitant fees. Where the taxpayers did not know (through errors and misinformation) any tax was due, the sending of a notice, at a cost of one cent to the sheriff, would have avoided all the costs; but, of course, the sheriff' could not be ex pected to thus squander his money merely to help a friend, as his fees have only amounted to about $12,000 in the two vears he has held office." Theme is no law to prevent the sheriff from extending the time for the enforce ment of collection ol taxes. The records show tli at taxpayers have been allowed more time in other years when the times were not nearly as bad as they are now. Why was it not done this year? That is easy to explain. In the first place Ganong is afraid that he will not he in tbe office after the first of July, and he wants to get all he can out of the office before he turns it over to Eli Maddock. Then again, even if he were certain of his re election, he would not extend the time for paying, because he is now paid a big fee for doing the work, and after the first of July he would have to let it go in at salary rates. He opposed the salary bill for the reason that he wants to get all that he can of the dear people's money. So after all It simply amounts to this: Ganong wants the money to put in his own pocket, and so refuses to give the hard-pressed taxpayer more time. He doesn't care who sutlers so he gets his fees. Tin Forest Grove Times, a democratic paper, is sound in principle when it says that the workingman sometimes votes against his own best Interests. He supports the Kpullsl ticket as affording means for hisreliel; but the success of opulisni can not produce the results lie desires. The an nouncement to the world that Oregon is a populist state will drive away capital and desirable Immigration. This state cannot grow rapidly without the introduction and use of capital from abroad, and the laboring man would thru be worse off as the result of his own folly. What laboring men, farmers, as well as others waul, Is capital employed In developing the wonderful and exhauslless resources of this state. A B USIXESS REASON. PaopKRLT kept records don't lie, but this unfortunately cannot be said of populist papers. For instance, the Herald says that Jas. Magone, the populist candidate for sheriff, owns l'JQ acres of land In Clackamas county. The records show that ha has not one acre. Magone must be keeping both the laud and tbe deed of record in bis head. Then again the Herald says that the Magone family pays aixjut I4n0 a year for tuxes. Again the records come handy. The tax roll for lwi:) does not contain the name of James Magone, the above-named candidate, and the same roll shows that the Magone fumily paid just $237.0 taxes. But then this is as near the truth as any one experts the Herald to get. Do the taxpayers of this county want to make a man sheriff who does not contribute one cent to the support of the county or state and who does not own one foot of hunt? Tin laboring man who voles the populist ticket next Monday is voting to take the bread and butter out of his own and his children's mouths. He Is voting lo make work more ixarce and poorer paid, money less and times banler. Lei none be deceived by glowing promises. These conditions are as certain to follow general populist smress in this state as effect is lo follow cause, or day flight. Last week's Courier bemoans the turning down by the late republican convention of several prominent republicans and "scores of others" not named. We fancy we see the mile passing over the faces or these same prominent republicans when they recollect the abuse heaed uikiii them by the Courier in former years. The democratic sheet is late in expressing sympathy.

The Ekterpkise has heretofore called the attention of its readers to the fact that busi ness reports by the commercial firms and agencies indicate plainly the necessity or restoring tbe republican party to power. To quote from eminent authority, it is a condi tion and not a theory which confronts us at this time. The attempt to incorporate vis ionary theories has made theevil conditions from which we are suffering. Confidence in tbe stability of the national and state governments, and in the intentions of the people or the state to pay all legal debts, must be restored before business will pick up or times revive. I)radtreet's, which is standard authority on all business and trade matters, said on the 201 h: "At no time since the panic and business depression manifested themselves last year have reports of volumes of sales of mer chandise, the manufacture or staple goods, and indisposition of merchants generally, to buy except Tor immediate wants, been so pronounced throughout the country as during the past week. " Superficial examinations or the busi ness conditions leading to unwarranted op timistic conclusion as to the near future of trade, have not been wanting; as a matter or fact, based on comprehensive and careful examination, tbe next few months must I money. Tub fanner who finds it hurd to si ll ti crop and make both ends meet under exist ing conditions must not hope for better prices or more money under populist success in this state. The result certain to follow Is a withdrawal of capital, foreclosure of mort gages and the worst times ever experienced in the state. The farmer and the laborer will suffer severely from such a condition. It can best be prevented by voting the re pshllcan ticket. While this in itself can not bring better times to the stute it is J prom Ik his speech at the meeting of populist candidates at Tope's hall Tuesday night CaMo said that the entire populist ticket would be elected by a very small majority. Judging by the drawing capacity of the ticket as represented by Hie audience, which numbered by actual count 110 two-thirds of whom were women, children and auti pepulists, the entire opulist ticket will lie elected to stay at home. Lr.T no one be deceived by the promises of the populists. If successful In this elec tion at the polls on Monday they cannot help a single poor man except the few who gel the olllees. They cunimt give the poor man any more work, any more or better food or better clothes, instead their success will mean less work, lens food and more rags, few-.) -A.ftNWjfflj ajjrw- i i -iO' ;:-I r-iw R.

STUBBS, HUI'I'UICH, It Is said by those in a position to know that when Kverhart was a Justice of the peace he got his records horribly Jumbled. How then is lie to keep the important county and probate dockets straight? The man who votes the populist ticket on election day is voting to put in power a vis- ie to the conservative business men of the i ionary impractical party actuated only by a country that Oregon shall not be given over to the vagaries of populists. I . The Herald goes out of its way to give Dr. Carl), one of the democratic nominees for representative, a dirty fling when it at tempts lo cast reflections upon his reputa tion as a physician. As a matter of fai t it matters not a bit what Dr. Carll's abilities are as a physician. That has nothing to do with his ability lo make laws. While the doctor's skill as a physician is not under discussion at this time it is not oat of place to scy that it is too well founded in this county to be detracted from by any fling that the Herald editors, with their six months' experience here, msy make. greed lor ofllce.
