Tho following preamble and reaolutiona
were adopted at the I ant meeting of
Salem Tyographlral Union, No. 210,
and will be Untied in circular form for
distribution to all of the labor organiza
tions throughout Oregon :
" Whereas, The 8alem Typo
gray 1) leal Union, No. 210, is
labor organuauon, united lor toe
pur one of uplifting the intellectual,
moral and pecuniary standard of the
working classes, as law-abiding citizens;
It is therefore, the bounden duty of each
and every member and members as a
J whole to lurther our interests by any
1 legitimant action aiming to that end.
Therefore, it is our duty to resort to our
rights of suffrage when all other efforts
have failed to accomplish such purpoaes;
and when an enemy to our cause sod
an antagonist to our principles seeks
political preferment at the hands of the
voters we, as organized people with the
right to Tote, should exercise the right
in accordance to tiie welfare of our obli
gation ; and
"Whereas," We find such a man in K.
Ilofer, editor and proprietor ol the Halem
Capital Journal, and candidate for Unit
ed Slates presidential elector on the
Bryan-democratic ticket, to be voted for
on the 3rd day of November, this year.
For years Mr. Ilofer lias been a menace
to labor and its union in this city, work
ing his employes at starvation wages.
"lie had been petitioned many times
U grant this union some concessions,
but without avail, until in the year 1891
his office was declared "unfair," and
again in 18',l5, In the month of March for
the last time. A boycott was then or
dered by the onion, and the following
uoiice printed in the Statesman of April
1 by the secretary :
" 'To Business Men By order of Cap
ital Typographical Union, No. 210,
V't following are the 'fair' printing
cilices in the city of Salute ; State, E.
M Waire, Ii. K. Moo res & Co., and the
Statesman. All other offices are 'unfair,'
W. D. Torrey, secretary.'
"On the following day, April 2, the
Capital Journal published the aliove
I notice at the head of a half column of
abuse, denouncing labor unions and
their methods. Editorially were several
paragraphs devoted to the members of
this union, tj-v. it:
"The dasterdly un-American method
of dictating to business men whom they
shall do business with is played out and
should be smashed here in Salem, as it
has been everywhere.'
'A few cigarette-smoking blather
skites cannot dictate to the business men
of this city who may or mar not order
printing of.' 'Men who cannot run
their own business have no right to
dictate to otheis how they shall run
theirs.' 'It reinaius to be seen whether
a few labor agitators can hold up the
town.'
"In the face of all this Mr. Ilofer has
and is now stumping the state declaring
that he is (lie friend of the farming and
laboring classes, while one week ago he
discharged a typesetter with a family
that he was paying ft) a week and hired
two in his stead, paying one 3.60 per
week and the other $1.50. He said he
did it to 'cut down expenses' of $1 per
week. Three more typesetters he pays
$4 each per week, who have worked
years at the business ; another $1 per
week, and his pressman $8 per week,
making a total of $21 per week for seven
people ; an average of $3 per week, or a
fair week's wages for one man. illis fore
man is a 'rat' and receives $10 per week.
An yet Mr. Ilofer says that he is the
workingman's friend. The sweat-shops
of New York cannot be worse. His em
ployes are all pooi people and depend up
on their wages for their bread. One
young woman keeps herself and
an aged mother upon $4 per
week and a man and his wife subsist on
$3.50 per week. These are truths on
record j therefore, be it
"Resolved, That we denounce such
damnable oppression of the poor laborers
and refuse to Bupport any man that is
responsible for it. Ve, therefore, ask
the laboring classes and unions to join
with us in the defeat of Mr. Ilofer for
presidential elector. W. D. Torrky,
"Sec. Typographical Union, No. 210.
Attached to the above and forming a
part of the circular is the following affi
davit :
State of Oregon, County of Marion, ss.
I, O. D. Rennie, being first duly sworn
on oath say, that the wages paid by the
Salem Capital Journal to its employes,
as Bet forth in the resolutions adopted by
the Salom Typographical Union, No.
210. at the last session, are correct up to
the 18th of October, 1896, the time wbon
I severed my connection with that paper.
O. V. Rsknik.
Bubscribed and sworn to before me
thls2)tli day of October, A. D., lH'Jtt.
J. C. Booth, notary public for Oregon.
In connection with the above it might
be well to inform the public that one of
the Iloferi ho ds a lucrative position at
present that of state printing expert
notwithstanding the fact that their one
cent daily is always referring to the 'pie
eatrrs" and "pap-suckers."

Cuba is furnishing a nearby example
of the beauties of government regulation
of the value of money on the Bryan
plan. Caption General Wcyler had a
deficient supply of cash, and so he had
the banco Espanol pot out a lot of pa
per money and Issued a stringent edict
that e wry body should take it at par
with gold. As the island is practically
under martial law, here was govern
ment control of the currency at its best
If yon didn't take the batik bills at par,
you were liable to be shot Even Bryan
couldn't do more for silver than that
But did the edict keep the bank notes at
par? Not for a day. Almost instantly
tbey were at a discount, which soon
mounted to to per cent Even with
gum and bayonets yon cannot make 60
cents equal a dollar. Wcyler has bad to
give up trying. He has finally allowed
the Havana block Exchange to quote the
value of the bank bills in gold. We
were going to say that tLis proves the
powerlessncss of law to establish the
valne of money, bnt we remember in
time that Cuba has Ima than 1, 000,000
population to our 70,000,000; that she
never pot down the greatest rebellion of
modern times; that her inhabitants are
not the richest, proudest, most intelli
gent people on earth, and so we are not
so sure. Her case is only a part of uni
versal experience, but we have changed
all that New York Post
- r Capita."
It is more money the Bryanites want
Now, which nations have the most
money those with the pol l standard
or those with the silver standard?
The silverites ere food of talking
about per capita circulation.
Under free coinage of both gold and
silver the United fctatea had a per cap
ita, circulation in lbOO of $4.09, in
1883 of $8.60. in lb52 of $14.63, in
1873 of $18 19. In 1894 we had a per
capita of $24.28; in 1896 we have one
of $21.10.
The lit capita circulation of the
world is'jbont $5.15.
The per enpita of the gold standard
countries is $18.
The per capita of the silver standard
countries is nearly $4.30.
The gold standard countries have a
per capita of silver alone of $5.40.
The silver standard countries have a
per capita of silver of $3.83, the rest of
their small circulation being mainly de
preciated paper.
The gold standard countries, with
less than one-third of the world's popu
lation, have very nearly two-thirds of
the world's currency circulation.
And yet Mr. Bryan wonld take the
United States from the gold standard
aud place it upon the silver standard.
Louisville Courier-Joarual.
Andrew Jarkaon Versa W. J. Bryan.
Mr. Bryan says a cheaper dollar
would be better for the workiug classes,
bnt Andrew Jackson saiu in his last
tnessago: "Engaged from day to day in
their useful toils, they do not perceive
that, nl though their w uges are noniinully
the.' same or even somewhat higher,
they are greatly reduced, in fuct, by
tho rapid increase of a spurious cur
rency, which, as it appears to make
money nbonud, they are at first inclined
to consider a blessing. It is not
until the prices of the necessaries of life
become so dear that the laboring classes
cannot supply their wants ont of their
wages that their wages rise. "
Wage Go l'p Slowly.
Every cheap money experiment ever
tried in this or in any country has dem
onstrated that, while prices respond
quickly to changes in the value of
money, , wages respond bnt slowly.
Henoe, though wages appear to rise
when money is depreciating, they are in
reality falling. The difference in rapid
ity with which wages and prices go up
has been illustrated by prices going up
in elevators while wages walk up the
stair steps. It is certain that wage earn
ers always lose and never gain by being
paid in a depreciated or depreciating
onrrency.
Conflx-at ion of Property.
A farmer who had his crop of wheat
stored in his granary or a manufacturer
who had bis warehouse filled with the
products of bis factory would think it
an outrnge if the government should in
sist upon confiscating one-half of his
wheat or his goods. What hotter is it
by the adoption of free silver coinage to
confiscate one-half of the wage of the
laborer or one-half of his accumulated
savings, or one-hulf of the dower of the
widow, or one-half of the pension of the
soldier? Philadelphia Record.

TRUE DEMOCRACY
WHAT TIIE OLD FATHERS HID
TO SAT.
Jefferson, Jack.on and Rentes) I)e-
flared for a Hoanrl Money Based
a a Mold Mandard.
Jefferson, in 1763, wrote: "Just
principles will lead us to disregard legal
proportion altogether, to inquire into
the market price of gold In the several
countries with which we shall princi
pally be connected in commerce and to
take an average from them. I very
much don bt a right now to change the
valuo, and especially to lessen it"
The bouse committee, in 1831, report
ed: "It is sufficient to know, by un
happy experience, that its ratio of 15
to 1 tendency is to rid us of a gold cur
rency and leave ns nothing but silver."
The bouse committee, in 1834, report
ed: "The desideratum in the monetary
system is a standard of uniform value.
We cannot ascertain that both metals
have ever circulated simultaneously,
concurrently and indiscriminately In
any country where there are banks or
money dealers, and we entertain the
conviction that the nearest approach to
an invariable standard is its establish
ment in one metal, which metal shall
compose exclusively the Currency 'for
large payments. "
Andrew Jackson, in 1836, wrote:
"There is no fraud in gold. It is un
changeable and will do its office every
where and at all times. Labor imparts
an invariable value to it" '
Benton, in 1834, said in debate: "It
(gold baa an intrinsic value, which
gives it currency all over the world to
the fall amount of that value without
regard to law or circumstances. It bsa
uniformity of valne which makes It
the safest standard of value of property
which the wisdom of msn has yet dis
covered. Its superiority over all other
money give to its possessor the choice
and command of all other money."
Following this debate the act called
the "administration gold bill." in
tended to put the country on a single
gold standard, was passed, 145 to 86 in
the bouse and 85 to 7 in the senate, and
signed by Andrew Jackson, president
The bouse committee, in 1858, report
ed : "Gold is the only standard of value
by which all property is now measured.
It is virtually the only currency of the
country. We desire to havo the standard
currency to consist of gold only, and
that these silver coins shall be entirely
snServient to it, and that tbey shall be
naed rather as tokens than as standard
Ei-Cenrnor Bole and HI Hired Man.
Hired Man I beard that in your Dee
Moines speech you said prioes are so
low that you have either got to get
more for your oats or else cut my wagos.
Boies You heard right
Hired Man Well, which are yon
going to do?
Boies I am going to get more for
my oats.
Hired Man How?
Bcies By lessening the purchasing
power of money. Free coinage will give
us a dollar which will only buy five
bushels of oats instead of ten bushel,
and that will be the same as getting 20
cents for my oats.
Hired Man Well, what are you go
ing to do about my wages?
Boies Oh, I'll pay yon Just the same
as I'm paying yon now, $20 a month.
Hired Man Are you going to pay
me in these new dollars?
Boies Certainly ; the same kind of
dollars that I get for my oats.
Hired Man Those dollars that can't
buy only half as much of anything as
the old dollars?
Boies Yes, yes; the same sort of dol
lars. Hired Man Then, as I understand
it, you propose to get twice as mnoh for
your oats and pay me only half what
I'm getting now?
Boies Why, no. I'll still pay yon
$20.
Hired Man But this $30 won't buy
only half as much stuff as now, yon say,
for the purchasing powpr is to be less
ened one-half ; so with my $30 I can
only got $10 worth of stuff. Your
scheme would bring you twice as much
for yonr oats and bring me only half as
much for my work. Is this fair, do yon
think?
Boies Well, every man has to look
out for himself.
Hired Man So I see, and I think I'll
look ont for myself and vote for an hon
est dollar for an honest day's work."

Wank the Beat Tool.
The farmer and the mechanio must
be free to use the very best tools and
implements, and the merchant and
banker must be free to use the very best
money and instruments of credit An
honest and stable measure of value is
just as necessary to both as are honest
and stable measures of weights and
quantities, and it requires no argument
to show that without these it would be
impossible to transact the ordinary busi
ness of the country. Hon. John G.
Carlisla
Even though the farmers may be
right in thinking that they are not as
prosperous as they ought to be, it by no
means follows that free coinage will
improve their condition. Because a man
has rheumatism is no reason why he
ahould take the advice of a quaok doc
tor who prescribes a big dose ol ipecac-
