This time a smooth-tongued, clever dispenser of hot air introduces him vself to the merchant from whom he solicits a write-up for an edition of a i Portland paper that is to receive wide circulation throughout the East In be half of the approaching Louis and Clark Fair. On the second visit the solicitor presents the prospective vic tim with a detailed biographical sketch of himself together with an account of his "large and constantly increas ing business." reputing the dealer to be "a leading and influential public spirited citizen" in fact the sketch slobbers all over the victim whom it is designed to fascinate to the extent that he may be relieved of about $10. It is bad enough to carry on these i . crafts, for which the merchant real izes not a cent for his Investment, but it is inexcusable to make the Louis and Clark Fair enterprise a party to the graft. If the Oregon City merchant de-1 chief source of strength lies in the sires to do any advertising there are! fact that its principles appeaj to the published in this city two represen-1 rugged common sense of the Amerl tative county papers each of which j can people, leaches a large circle of the peopl? of ! o the county with whom the merchant' r.aah!v uvnont i iln hnsi.

The Oregon City papers strive to serve the county and its in terests, and if there is any advertis ing patronage to be awarded, these papers are entitled to that business. So far as realizing any returns from the advertising that may be had in these publications for Eastern dis tribution there is nothing in It to the local merchant.

I believe him to he a brave, honest, conscientious man. I give him full credit for having a splendid courage of conviction. How Is it with the Democratic party? Our political history has never seen a situation so ludicrous as that which the national Democracy now holds. I' can understand how the cit izen can work for the Republican party and vote Its ticket with enthusiastic teal. If the Republican party rep resents his Ideals of government, then he Is Justly proud of It, can Justly con fide in it. for it has slood by its piin clples through storm as well as sun- chine; and no matter how bad you and I may think Its creed Is, we are bound to admit that the Republican party .has a creed. Is willing to fight for it. is willing to cling to It In de feat and continue to. struggle for It until victory comes again. Hut why any human being should, in the year 19U4. vote the national Democratic ticket is something that passes my untutored comprehension. .1 can understand why the citizen could vote a local Democratic ticket; 1 can understand how In some cities and in some States that party may be struggling to do some distinct thing, which he believes ought to be done; hut Iu the name of common sense tell nie why any sane and sober i itizeu. should in this campaign vote the national Democratic ticket. What principle of Democracy does lt s(aml flir? Nvhat (llK.s it ,,roise to do for the people, different from what the Republicans are doing? To .wiM s u tii,-ect in its line of march, except to . the Republican camp.' surrounded by me an Mieei bided his time till the perils of the two-thirds rule were passed; and when it was too late for the conven tion1 to retrace its steps for even the Democratic bouses require more than fifteen minutes to turn complete ly round In he cracks the Wall Street whip over the heads of his leaders, and with prompt obedience the great Democratic legious were made to furl their flags and reverse their line of march. The mass of the Democratic party feel outraged at the way In which their leaders have sold them to Wall Street. I do not believe that the six and a half million men who followed Bryan, with cheers on their lips and warm convictions In their hearts, can now be delivered like cattle to the Clevelandltes who knifed the ticket or bolted in 1896. I believe that the great majority of the men who voted for Bryan are men of conviction; I cannot hope they will realize that I anvtghting their battle now. I call upon the six and a half mil lion voters whose political faith was crystalized in the Chicago platform of 1890 and In the Kansas City platform of 1900. and I ask, What is there In the Democratic platform of 1904 that bids YOU hope? What Is there for Vl I tU..t ..lr..n.9 Vi'ViOl t,i YntT in mm. juai.i.,. . . , " get out of it? To what extent does Parker represent YOU? What is It that he proposes to do for YOL'? If you believe in Republican doctrines', why vote for Parker? Why not "go the w hole hog or none" and vote for R'josevelt? By what right do the Democratic leaders undertake to preach and expound to the American people any economic questions? Mow do we know that they have studied and mastered any of those questions? The two platforms almost Identical? Certainly they are. Boiled down to its real essence, sifted to its real meaning, the Democratic campaign of 1904 Is a mere unscrupulous hunt for Stealing the platform of the Peo- . ... .. ...

It is merely a question (,f catching the voter, and winning the office. You may ask why do I consume ;more time discussing the Demiicrats than In sneaking of the Republicans. any mistake about tho Republicans. For I know they will do as I shall do fight tho Republican party with all the power that is in them. Hut tho National Democratic leaders, pretend ing to be, in favor of Jeffersonlan principles, when at heart their pur pose Is tho same as that of the Re publicans, hope to mislead those mil lions of voters who will always be found voting for Jeffersonlan princi ples unless they are deceived. This country today Is In the ut most peril from the money question, lu vain do tho Democrats walvo It; It cannot be waived. The Cleveland ruling, by which coin was held to mean gold, and by which paper notes were used to get bonds from tho gov ernment, Is still In force, and the end less chain only needs another Cleve land at tho windlass. Why Is Judge Parker so assured that the gold standard is Irrevocable? Nothing In human law and custom Is Irrevocable especially If It Is wrong. Neither the sanctions of the Consti tution of tho I'nlted States, the stat ute law of the land, nor the unbroken national practice of a century were sufficient to make the double stand ard of gold and silver Irrevocable. Why. then, should the single gold standard, which violates the Consti tution, mocks the statute law and re - bels against the precedents of a hun dred years, lie considered Irrevoca-1 blti? j o FROM THEODORE ROOSEVELT'S SPEECH. Three years ago I became president because of the death of my lamented predecessor. I then stated that It uiw in v minus,- to rarrr out his mill- eh.les and millcies for the honor and il,.. iitrKt of the country. To the best of my , . , ..... l anility i nave itepi mi-j thus made. If next Novell)' , .,.,. , ,h. 'states that It favors reciprocity. And her niv countrymen confirm at the, ' polls the action of the convention yon represent, I shall, under Provi dence, continue to work with an eye single to the welfare of all our jxiiple. We who have been Intrusted with power as public servants during the haul uni'iin vears of administration and legislation now come before the:'" """'" 11 ' people content to he Judged by our ....,,..( ..r flphlAvwmi.nl In fho veArs that have gone by we have made the'"' " P"""" ' deed square with the word; and If we are continued In power we shall un swervingly follow out the great lines of public policy which the Republican party has already laid down; a public policy to which we arc giving and shall give, a united and therefore an efficient support. In all of this we are more fortunate than our opixiuents, who now appeal for confidence on the ground, which some express and some seek to have confidentially understood, that If tri umphant they may be trusted to prove false to every principle which In the last eight years they have laid down as vital, and to leave undisturbed those very acts of the administration because of which they ask that the administration Itself be driven from i power Seemingly their present attitude m their nasi record Is that some of them were mistaken and others Insin cere. Our opponents, either openly or se cretly, according to their several tem peraments, now ask the people to trust their present promises In con sideration of the fact that they In t..n,l fn treat their oast nromlses as null and void. We know our own minds' and we have kept of the same mind for a sufficient length of time to give to our policy coherence and sanity. In. dealing with the great organl-iof Izatlons known as trusts, we do not have to explain why the laws were not enforced, but to point out that they actually have been enforced and that legislation has been enacted to Increase the effectiveness of their en forcement We do not have to propose to "turn the rascals out,' for we have shown In very deed that whenever by diligent Investigation a public official . . . ' can be found who lias betrayed His trust he will be punished to the full extent of tin; law without regard to whether he was appointed under a Republican or a Democratic administration. We know what we mean when wo speak of an honest and stable curren-'of .. . ' cy. We mean tne same inmg irom year to year. We do not have to avoid a definite and conclusive com- mlttl ,.n tl. nwmt Imm.rtant Issue ,hlrh I,h lecetitlv been before the ' p.-ople. and which may at any time In ' the near future be before them again, i I 'pon the principles which underlie this Issue the convictions of half our' number do not clash with those of thc( other half.

More over, we were able to pay this fifty millions of dollars out of hand without causing the slightest disturbance to business conditions. That whenever the need arises there should be a readjustment of the tariff schedules is undobuted; but such changes can with safety be made only by those whose devotion to the principle of protective tariff Is beyond question; for otherwise the changes would amount not to readjustment, but to repeal. The readjust mi'iit when made must maintain and not destroy (the protective principle. We believe III reciprocity with for eign nations on the terms outlined In President McKlnley's last speech, which urged the extension of our for eign markets by reciprocal agree ments whenever they could be mad)) without injury to American Industry and- labor. It Is a singular fact that the only '"'' .'-. Ipr.KalMreaty recently adopt- edthat with Cuba -was finally op- noseu almost uioue ny uie represent latlves of the very party which now here again we ask that the worth of our words be Judged by comparing their deeds with ours. We recognUe the organization of capital and the organization of labor as natural outcomes of our industrial system. Each kind of organization Is spirit of Justice and of regard for the rights of others. Each Is to be grant each In turn is to be held to a strict obedience to the law, for no man Is above It and no man below It. The humblest Individual Is to have his sights safeguarded as scrupulously as those of the strongest organization, for each Is to receive Justice, no more and no less. The problems with which we have to deal In our modern Indus trial and social life are manl'old, but the spirit In which It Is necessary to approach their solution Is simply the spirit of honesty, of courage, and of common sense. The Isthmian canal Is now being built by the government of the Cnlted States. We conducted the negotia tions for Its construction with the nic est and most scrupulous honor, and In a spirit of the largest generosity towards those through whose terrl- . I. ....... 1.. ...... T,t.u ulnlutr.r " , " L . 1 " 7 il """" spirit of faction or the spirit of self- interest was made In order to defeat the treaty with Panama and thereby prevent the consummation of this work. The construction of the canal Is now an assured fact; but most cer tainly It Is unwise to entrust the car rying out of so momentous a policy to those who have endeavored to de- feat the whole undertaking. In the Caribbean Sea we have made good our promises of Independence to Cuba, and have proved our assertion that our mission In the Island was one Justice and not self aggrandize ment; and thereby no less man ny our action In Venezuela and Panama we have shown that the Monroe Doctrine is a living reality, designed for the hurt of no nation, but for the protec tion of civilization on the western con tinent, and for the peace of the world.
