THE FINAL EFFOKT.
The work of this campaign will practi
cally close with this week so tar as public
meetings and big demonstrations are
concerned On the pari of republicans the
campaign has been carried on with more
spirit and vigor than for years past, every
republican having made It a personal mat
ter to advocate the principles that only can,
and are so sure to bring back the prosperity
that this country once enjoved. Yet with
all the work that has been done there is
still work to do. Election day will find many
voters that are wavering and who have not
made up their minds lully whether they
will drop the free trade, fiat money fallacies
ot the popoorats or not. With such men a
word from a man In whom they have confi
dence might brii.g them over to the cause of
protection and sound money and it is the
duty of every man who feels that his busi
ness has been decreased and crippled by
the depression or the last four years to de
vote one day to assisting in extricating the
country from its poverty stricken condition
and put in the day at the polls working
honestly and fairly to make the majority
for McKinley so large that there will be no
danger of a recurrence of these times for
another generation at least.
WHO WANTS A PA.MCT
Let every man who must labor to live re
member that Mr. Bryan himself has Bsid
that the free coinage of silver would "pro
duce a panic at least for a time."
Don't you think we have had panic
eneough to last us for a time?
That Mr. Bryan said this has been proved
by the alli.laviu of H. F. Stephenson, Geo.
L. Ore, J. K. McKelvey, John G. Varnell,
L. N. Beal and James Hepburn, all reputa
ble and responsible citizens of Mount Ver
non, III., who state on oath that they heard
Mr. Bryan make this statement in a public
speech at Mount Vernon.
Do we want another panic? Louisville
Courier Journal.
Duriro the year 1805 over 30,000,000
pounds of wool was transited on the
backs of camels from ithe plains of Man
churia in the north of China to the sea
ports of that country, a distance from 800
to 1000 miles, and sold to American and
European havers at from 5 to 0 cents a
pound. With the railroads that Li Hung
Chang has said he was going to build In
China this wool could be placed aboard
ships at even a less price than now deliver
ed by camel and as the great prairies of
Manchuria are capable of sustaining sheep
by the million, it can easily be seen that
the Oregon sheep grower would stand no
chance in competition with his Chinese
competitor with a free trade policy In effect
In this country. As Bryan is a free trader of
the most pronounced type a vote for him
is a vote against the wool industry of Ore
gon, an industry that is third in the
amount of wealth that it brings the people
of this state.
There is not one populist paper in Clack
amas county, or in Oregon, or in the whole
United Slates that pays union rates to
their hands, notwithstanding (bene sell
same papers are ever ready to denounce a
republican paper that does not adopt the
scale of wages fixed by the printers' union,
as a "rat" office. And when it comes to a
private individual or corporation that at
tempts to fix his wage scale without con
sulting the labor unions, the bitterness of
their denomination knows no bounds.
One of their greatest objections to McKinley
is that he is being supported by Mark Han
n a whom they denounce as an enemy to or
ganised labor, If these populist editors
would practice what they preacn i wouiu
civ the annearance that they were really
in earnest in their devotion to the cause of
tlm lahnrimr man. instead of proving as
they now do that they are a set of hyinv
crits w ho are endeavoring to make political
capital by arraying III laboring men
against their employers.
Til K record ofthe debate on the bill for
the admission of Ne Mexico to the union,
which was under discussion in H'l, gives
an opportunity to study the character of a
man who is now seeking the highest in
tional honor. What is to be thought of one
who would vote against the provision to
teach in the public schoools, the English
language, that language in which we are
proud to tell to the rising generation the
glorious victories of their ancestors in the
cause of freedom, the language In which is
written the constitution of our country, the
grandest work ot man In any age? Yet Mr.
Bryan now has the audacity and braien ef
frontery to ask the American nation to ele
vate him to still li.'lir olllce when such
is his record.
Tu mmnrkalile advance in the prices of
all kinds of farm products during the past
month ia breaking into Bryan's calamity
howls with a vengeance. The popocratic
candidate has repeatedly asserted that prices
would not rise until the adoption oi iree sil
ver coinage at a ratio of Id to 1. In the
meantime the official market reports show
tlt .Iwilliu raised i.VlOOO.000. com H.-
uuu.OOO, and oilier farm products have gone
Up to the tune or $150,000,000. There being
.,.irt,n iii ihe aumilv of silver and the
demand lulling below the production, the
price of that metal Das noi raiseq s com.
Tberi is sure to be a larger vole po"eJ
at the election next Tuesday than ever be
fore cast in Clackamas county and the rush
at the polls will be heavy, especially to
wards the close ol tHe day. In order tnai
none mav be crowded out and prevented
from casting their ballot, every voter
should make an etlort to get to the polls as
earlv in the dav as possible, for this Aus
tralian system does uot allow of the rapidi
ty of voting as did the old system, ine
noils will ouen at eight in the morning and
close promptly at 6 o'clock in the evening.
Th i Question of good roads is now mak
ing itself felt in the elections iii more than
one state, lis a recent election in Water-
burv. Conn., the bicycle vote defeated
George Tracy, a candMate for selectman,
the only man on the republican ticket who
was not elected. He was opposed to the
good roads movement. When the power ol
the ballot box begins to be e lined there Is
prospect of this country securing passable
roads.
Owiso to there being state elections in
most ol the stales and aa they nearly all
now use the Australian system we shall
probably get no definite returns until some
time Wednesday, especially should the con
test be close in some of the doubtful states.
In this county it will be at least Wednesday
noon belore the precincts are all beard
from.
Tuoei nearest the head ol the poocratic
ticket are not giving these would-be ollice
holders the support that one would expect
of them. Bryan's law partner is working
for the republican party and will vote for
McKinley. while fee all s son is out mak
ing speeches for protection and sound mon
ey a.id will vote lor McKinley and llobart.
These has been more silver coined dur.
ing the ten months past of this year than
during the entire existence of this govern
ment prior to 1873, yet the advocates of free
coinage of silver persist in asserting that
silver is being forced out of circulation by
the government.
Mexico has just sold 12,0Uu.0iJ0 Mexican
free coinage dollars to buy S'I.U'jO.O'AI in gold
to pay interest on her public debt. If we
adopt tree coinage we would be obliged to
do the same. A beautiful system of finance 1
A gold-standard doesn't mean a "gold
basis," any more than it does the "use of
gold only" or "gold mononietalitm," re
peated statements to the contrary notwith
standing. Mk. Bryan's vote will not register all the
friends of silver. Tens of thousands who
preler bimetalism under the present gold
standard to free silver will not be included.
PROCLAMATION.
Peoria, Illinois, October 27, ltfXJ
To THE WoBKINGMEN OF THE UWITED
States:
To refute the false statement, as we sin.
cerely believe it to be, and to correct the
impression our friends and acquaintances
may have formed concerning our signatures
to a campaign document going the rounds
of the press and circulated broadcast on the
streets, entitled "A Proclamation," In
which it is made to appear that we are in
favor of free silver at any ratio, and the
substantial establishment of two standards
of money, contradictory as the terniB may
be, we wish to be recorded by all who are
interested in our position as being emphat
ically and unequivocally against any such
measure, but are for the sound money
plank promulgated by the republican con
vention at St. Louis.
Our signaturas were obtained nearly three
years ago to a document pretending to be a
memorial to congress, then in session,
which in our belief and memory was a
much milder paper than is the "Proclama
tion" referred to, and no matter what our
opinions may have been on any question at
the time of our signing the memorial, near
ly three years ago, we have learned enough
since on the subject to warrant us in re
nouncing the attempt at the free coinage of
silver at Hi to 1, believing it to be directly
against the interests of labor, and also be
lieving that under the condition of free
coinage this country will he subjected to
one of the most frightful panics any coun
try in tbe world has ever seen.
Our belief in this statement is strength
ened by the admission made by William
Jennings Bryan, candidate for president, in
a recent speech in the Northwest, wherein
he ia reported as saying that he thought
tree-sliver coinage would bring for the pres
ent stagnation and panic, but from which
In four years we would recover. We do not
believe this country can stand an addition
al four years of misery and distress, and
are therefore opposed to Ihe sentiments
contained In the aforesaid "Proclamation,"

The Crime of IS."
The following explanations why the
silver dollar should uo lougcr bo coined
were made in the house ol rcurotwmU
tives April 9, 1873 ;
It baa become impossible to retain an
American dtiliar in this country except
in collection of curioaitios. Judge
Keller.
Tbe silver dollar "bus long since
ceased to be a coin of circulation.
Tbe gold dollar should be declared the
money unit." Mr. Hoopor.
The principal chango proposed by tlio
bill was in "more clearly specifying the
gold dollur as the unit of valua
The time bos come In this country when
tbe gold dollar should be distinctly de
clared to be the coin repreHontiitive of
the money unit." Mr. btoughtou.
A Fw Facta.
In 1878 farm products were lower
thou ever before sinco thocivil war, and
the "gTeonbacliers" were arguing that
the preparation for resumption on Jan.
I, 1879, had produced the hard times,
and their advocates tried to posptouo
the dote for resumption. But resump
tion came Jan. 1, 1879, and No. 9 cash
wheat sold at 815, j by May it was up
to $1.01 H, and by December, 1879, it
was up to 11.33',. Corn was 29 J,' in
January, 1879, tnt ill December, 1879,
it was 43 V4'.
Such facts need to be borne in mind
at this time, when so many false the
ories are afloat

Mr. Bryan to the Trusts Von fel
lows are not in it with ma Yon think
you're doing great things when you pat
tip the price of one thing at a timo
and you get caused for it besides. But
my little silver trust scbuuiu puts up
prices on everything at once, and I
inuke 'em think we're doing 'em a
favor. Yon follows are too slow.
We cannot by law fix the value of
either metal or coin or of any of tbe ar
ticles that enter into the wants of lifo.
The great law of demand and supply
affects the value as it does iron, copper
or zinc. All huve fallen in market value
