McKinley's letter of acceptance, which came out toe late for attention in the Enter prise last week, is a statesman likedocument, and is receiving the unqualified endorsement of republicans everywhere. On the whole it Isa complete aid plain presentation of the leading issues of the campaign, sound money protection, reciprocity and other Important questions of the day. He states that the mere declaration of the free coinage of silver Is a menace to our financial and industrial interests, and has already created universal alarm. It in volves a great peril to the credit and busi ness of the country; a peril so grave that conservativemen everywhere are breaking away from their old party associations and uniting with other patriotic citizens in em phatic protest against the platform of the national democratic convention, as an in iult upon the faith and honor of the gov ernment and the welfare ol the people. It would be no benefit to labor, as the free use of the mints would only benefit the owners of silver bullion; it would iiot start a lai tory, nor make a demand for an additional dav's labor. It would net restore business confidence, but its direct eflect would be to destroy the little which yet remains He iurtber goes on to show that these dollars could not be kept at par, and that the farmers and laborers would sutler most. In that part of the letter devoted to the tariff question lie says protection it an in ane of greatest importance. The republi can party is wedded to the doctrine of pro tection, and was never more earnest in its inpport and advocacy than now. Men re alize in their own daily lives what was be fore to many of them only report, history or tradition. They have had a trial of both systems and know what each has done for them. He shows, comprehensively the highly prosperous condition of our coun try during the protective eriod of Harri son's administration, and the correspond ing disastrous condition existing later un der Cleveland's administration, and the causes of the same. Major McKinley says it is not open mints but open mills tbit we want. It is not in crease in the volume of money which is the need of the time, but increase in the volume of business. The first duty of the republi can party ,if restored to powerin the country will lie the enactment of a tariff law which will raise all the money necessary to con duct the government, economically ad ministered and so adjusted as to give pref erence to home manufacturers, and ade quate protection to home labor and the home market. Our farmers have been hurt by the changes in our tariff legislation as severely as our laborers and manufaC' tures. He favors a protective reciprocity with certain countries, and explained how it has given us increased trade with these countries in the past. He favors the re etriction of foreign immigration, and says that the soldiers and sailors of the Union should neither be neglected or forgotten He favors the up-building of our merchant marine and navy. Again he says if the people are aroused to the true understand ing and meaning of this silver and inflation movement, they will avert the danger. We will maintain law and order. We avoid no issue. the hour. Wheat Is hard to raUeand Ilia is light and uncertain, but we are great on corn. Make ye, therefore, a law in accordance with w hich tovereign and au gust statute corn thall be put upon a par with wheat." The wise men passed the law as the gov ernor had advised and all of Ihe people of the state rejoiced, for their criht were full of corn. They could hardly contain them selves till the governor had signed the bill which raised the price of Kinsas corn from 1,1 rents to 4A cent a bushel. All the peo ple now fell rub,. They bought many lux uries and most of them went iu debt. Then Ih farmer from other states began hauling their corn to Kansas. It seemed at if Ih country wa all corn and it was all headed for Kansas. The peopl of Kansas took their medicine, that is, they took Ihe corn and gave up their wheat. The farmers from the other states thought Ihe Kansas people were quee.', but they kept bringing them their corn. Corn rame in and wheat went out. When the other states taw this vast accumulation, the price of corn began to de cline till it could be purchased aiif where except in Kansas for 10 rents a bushel. In Kansas the price was still to cents, which was the price of wheat, but there were no buyers. Whtn Ihe autumn cam Ih Kan sas people did not have any wheat for teed. Then they sent to the neighboring slates and implored the farmers toexi-hange wheat t a parity with corn, but th farmers said: We will exchange one bushel of wheat for four and one-half bushels of corn." "Our law," replied the Kansas people, "puts corn and wheat at a parity. They are equal for wise tuen said they should be.'' And the farmers replied, "Your wise men are asses; let them eat your corn." So the Kansans went back home and all their people were in despair. Then the governor again assembled the wise men and said to them: "Most consti mate, picturesque and glittering goll darned fools: there Is but one bigger fool than your selves. It is he who addresses you. We thought we could blutt th everlastlug law of supply and demand and make our peo ple rich by law. We thought we were pa triotic. We were idiotic. Let us honestly acknowledge our assinninity, reeal our fool law, get back into line with the other states and imagine no more that we are wiser than the whole world 1 this, and may we live long enough to know that the other states hive ceased laughing at our folly and that our own state has ceased cursing us for it." Then Ihe wise men re pealed the law, but it was years before the people recovered from the etlecta of the log democratic teeclia. Enthusiasm pre vailed and decoration were numerous. The great convention adjourned until 10 o'clock Thursday, and It is ex peeled that a platform will be adopted and nominations made by Ihe lime Ihe r'NTttttrHma goes lo press. EvmvsopY Irrespective of party, should attend the Mi Kinley rally at Weiuhard'i hall Saturday night, II will not be essenti ally a republican gathering, but all people who favor the sound lliiaiu'lal and protec tive policy of McKluley, as well as those who are opposed to such principles are In riled to lie present. Kx -Congressman M C. George, one of th ablest orators In Ore gon, will be present and address Ihe meet lug. A Mi Kinley league will also be or ganised, and all voters irrespective of party, who endorse the principles of gov eminent represented by this great ttatet man, are Invited to participate in Its or ganliation.

Tut Three Sisters-Press vainly attempts to explain away the fact of Clackamas county keeping two sheriffs' otlices running at the expense of the people, and in doing so endorses the steal that Is being made on the people of Clackamas county, who are taxed lo maintain two shrills' offices. The taxpayers have to foot Deputy Moody salary, amounting to S per month, when the work could just as well be done by the present sherifl without extra compensation. In Multnomah, WashiiiKtou, Columbia, Lane, and many other counties of the state, the tax list was turned over lo the new sheriff on the first of July. There can be no denial of the fact that the county is maintaining two sheriffs' otlices, and there can be no denial of the fact that a pertua tion of two sheriffs' offlrei is a direct insult to the taxpayers of Clackamas county. It is worse than highway robbery, and the Three Sisters-Press knows that it it en dorsing a steal from the public crib, when it consideri itt readert to ignorant that they will believe itt statement that Clackamas county is not maintaining two abends1 offices. The readers of the Three Sisters Press are not to ignorant as to have the wool pulled over their eyes in this style Thi republicans of Clackamas county have a work to do, and they should pull together for one common object to carry Oregon, as well as their home county, fur McKinley. The report has been spread broadcast that there was a plentiful quantity of campaign funds raised in the East. In the first place the money raised in the East has beengreatly exaggerated, and besides it has been ascertained that the national central committee does not pro pose to pay the campaign expenses of the Pacific states. Every republican in Clacka mas county should enthusiastically put his shoulder to the wheel and share in the bur den for the glorious work of McKinley. It is a noble cause, and every true republican should devote himself unselfishly to further the interests of a cause that will bring pros perity to the country. It it time for the republican! of Clackamas county to throw off their apathy and begin in earneat the campaign of education, for sound money, protection and prosperity. This Is Your Opportunity.

THE EXPERIMENT TRIED. F. A. Still well of Kansas, has prepared a leaflet purporting to give a history of certain events occurring near the close of the 19th century. It was declared to be a period of depression, during which it occurred to the wise men of Kansas that ther could legis late themselves into aflluence. The gover nor assembled the wise men and said : "A Kansas policy for Kansans is the need The result of the state elections In Ver mont, held last huesday, is peculiarly significant just at this lime. The entire republican ticket was elected, Joseph Grant, for governor, receiving over 30,rXJQ majority. Vermont is a farming state, and the signifi cance of the election in that state it great, as it stands as a magnetic needle indicating victory at the November election for the principles ot McKinley. It is a significant record of history that Vermont has always presaged the result of presidential elections at its September polls. This state has al ways been republican, but in past times, before a democratic president was elected, the nisjorities were always reduced. The normal republican majority of Vermont is from 20,000 to 25,faCQ, but s maioritv of 3J,000 is an omen of peace, prosperity and the triumph of the republican principles, that gave employment to the laborer and a mar ket for farm productions.

In the normal condition of things gray hairs bolong to advanced age. They have no bueinena whitening the heud of man or woman, who has not begun to go down the slope of life. As a matter of fact, the hair .turns gray regardless of ago, or of life's seasons ; sometimes it is whitened by sickness, but more often from lack of care. When the hair fades or turns gray there's no need to resort to hair dyes. The normal color of the hair is restored and retained by the use of Ayer's Hair Vigor.
