A. R. nien, whoare in a position to know, assert that 97 r cent o( the veter ans of the late war, residing in Clacka mas county will cast their oie fqr McKlnlev and Hobart. One reason why thef are so unanimous in their support of McXinley is that they do not endorse the state rights plank in tbe Chicago platform They are earnest believers and advocates in the perpetuation of the Union bf these United States as originally intended by the trainers of tbe constitution, and are true patriot in every sense of the word. They ' do not endorse the vagaries of the Chicago platform, that practically pronounce itself as standing in favor of anarchy and riots. - These veterans consider that the questions of state rights was practically settled at Ap potoiuax, and they do not want to tight the battles of the lute war ever again. The scars made by the late war were healed long ano, and the people of this treat republic are united by the bonds or . ern e and good government from the north to the south and from the east to the west. The veterans desire to perpetuate this era of good leeling and the universal botherhood of the north and south. ' and realize that peace and prosperity can only be obtained and perpetuated by the election of McKinley and Hobart. They be- beli ve in a policy of government that will Bh.-ure peace and harmony, and cultivates patriotic feeling of love for the institutions of this nation. They believe in putting the reins of the government of this country in safe hands, and realize that law and order ran best be subserved by the election of McKinley and again giving the control of national lejni-lature affairs into tbe hands of the republicans. tec ling their honie. Tbi award of the construction oftwo -'S knot torpedo boat to Wolff Zwlcker, of Portland, by the Tinted Stales government, means much for Portland. It will glv em ployment to about 200 skilled mechanics, and is only th beginning ot th develop ment of a new industry in Portland. Portland's deep harbor and other facilities especially lit It for a ship-building seaport. The construction of these boats will no doubt be followed by others of greater pro portions, and this firm may yet have a great ship yard like the I'nlon Iron Works of San Francisco, or Cramp of Philadel phia. ' Or late, there has been a general ad vance in farm products of all kinds includ ing wheat, potatoes, bops, eggs, etc. In consequence of the certainty of McKinley' election , people are beginning to loosen their purse strings and buy liberally of the necessities of life. They realise that there is a brighter era of prosperity dawning and tbat the country will be safe in the event of McKinley's election. In the east coniKteul authorities Consider that there is no doubt of McKinley's eleetion, it i only a question of bow large a majority he will receive.

The price of wheat is not, as is shown in the present state of the market, dependent on the price of silver or any other money metal and should there be a big crop over the world another year its price would fall regardless a to whether tb nations had free coinage or not. Thus are not a half doxen prominent democrats, men who have been activ in th councils of tb party in Oregon, who are Disking public ipeecb lor liryan. This fact is peculiarly significant at this time, and is a sure indication that they have no faith In the heresies advocated in tbe Chicago platlorm. The tnajoiity of tbe better class of democrats In Oregon will either vote for Palmer or McKinley. 8iveral Oregon City money lenders have received advices from eattern capitalists and associations, who have money to loan, that if McKinley is elected they will send out plenty of money to loan on good secu rities. On th other band, if Bryan should be elected, and Oregon gives the populist candidates a majority, Uiey will be extreme ly cautious about loaning money on secu rities ottered in this state. The silvtr mine owners of the country, whoare putting up their millions to elect Bryan, are resorting to most deserate measures to carry their point. They are flooding the country with their free silver coinage boiler plate, w hich enables the free silver papers to save composition, and their best orators are discoursing wind all over the country. silver shall be a dollar, iu which cose $1 will be worth ouly what 413 gTaius of silver will exchange for, the same to day as 60.3 cents in gold, or, "giving the debtor tho option" as to what dollar be shall nee with which to pay bis debts, it may declare tbat each of these three shall be dollar, iu which case $1 will be worth just a much as the least valuable of tho three, which nnder present conditions would be the brick.

Alexander, J C Hinder, Fred Jarre!, Jimtiiie Inon, A H Miller, W N Kiclmrdson, H H Smith, F V Starr, Joe It is a matter of the gravest concern to the people of Oregon, that this state should give McKinley a majority. However, there is no uoubt but what McKinley and Ho bart will be elected, without Oregon, yet it is a matter of paramount importance that Oregon should indicate by her vote that she favors a sound financial and protective policy. Every year this state receives thousands of dollars in appropriations for harbor and river improvements, and Bhe needs more of .these appropriations. Tbe Willamette river should be opened up so that the farmers of this great valley can get their products to market at reasonable rates of translocation If Oregon should give Bryan a majority it will have a tendency to cut down the appropriations, which are so much needed. If Oregon should cast her inhjority vote for Bryan, and our senators and representatives should ask for some large appropriations to aid navigation, tbe reflection would be hurled Iu their teeth that Oregon was a populist slate, and it would be dillicult to secure the necessary ar ints needed. At this time Oregon can not well all'ord to lose the state to McKin ley. WiHTis designated as the silent vote In Cla'-kamns county will be an Important factor iu the success of McKinley in this section. The silent vote is a new element in Clackamas county politics, and its strength has become a thing of reality. There are a large number of voters in Clackamas county who in past times have vot-'l the populist and democratic tickets, w ho will at this time in the solitude of the Australian ballot booth quietly cast their vote for McKinley. They are keeping their own counsel for several reasons. Some of them do not care to stand the gauntlet of jeers from their old friends and associates by publicly declaring themselves (or pro tection, honest money and prosperity, and Vaughan, John wo.mek'8 i.irt.

The advocates of free coinage in the west and south "dou't take any stock" in Bryan's occasional assertion that he "contends" that the adoption of this policy would put up the price of silver to $1.29. Indeed they would lose all interest in the agitation if tbey sup posed tbat the silver dollar nnder free coinage was to be worth as much as the gold dollar is now. The real senti ments of thene people are clearly ex preued by James Kitchen, an extensive farmer and stockman of Grayson, Ky., who, when auked tbe other day why he was for free silver, made this reply: I am for free diver because I am In debt. and if we get free coiuasa I con pay my debts witb one-ball of what It now coats nnder our pre-ent money standard. And another reason, I employ laborers on my farm. They are the creditors. am tne debtor. Undor free coin age I can pay them with one-half it costs me now, for it will raise the price of urodnct. and I can then hire my farm help for 60 cents a day and pay them in bacon at 15 cent a poand. It mnst become more and more plain, as the campaign proceeds, that this is the motive and must he the result of the free coinage agitation. The question at issue will thus finally resolve itslf into the larger qneKtion, whether the Ameri can people still believe tbat honcHty is tho best policy. Put This In Your I'lpel If yon are a farmer with an overdue mortgage or with one that muKt soon be renewed, beware of free coinage. It may get you into trouble. Dollars will be cheaper with free coinage, juKt as they now are in Mexico, but interest will surely be nearly donble what it is now, or about equal to present rates in Mexi co and other silver standard countries. Unless yon are prepared to pay your mortgage at onoe, you should study this interest question before voting for cheap dollars. Wa'U coin the allver we have got and all thai we can ft. We'll make the "dollar of oar dads" a ham mer, you can bet. Some say 'twill bual the country, and tbe devil be to pay. "In God we trust" we'll stamp on It, such look to keep away.
