The HUlsboro Independent bit terly complains because the anti fold tandardi8ts are still cam paigning oil tile heels of Mr. Mc- Kinley's election. The Indepen -den t alleges that t he election settled matters. This may be logic and it way be false reasoning. If our y.orthy contemj jwiU but scan its files shortly W Mr. Cleveland was elected it will observe that ev en that "fair minded journal" stil ontiilHed to campaign even from -the date the returns came in. So did the entire republican press of the country and here, then, seems deadly parallel. The election of Mr. Cleveland 'was the result of declining prosper ity, even under stringently republi an tariff laws. People were look' ing for a change. The new admin' istration could not check the ava ianche of depression. Shrinkage of values continued. The contract jng of the volume of currency was gftting in ita deadly work and right Iiere we must give the repub licans credit for averting the dead ly oppression by silver legislation which did some little good, until they were captured by the gold ADonometallists. Rut they have fall en by the wayside. They have rec- ogniied no difference between the man) who is behind the counter and thfeman who is in front, but have forked for the interests of those Vho had capital in dollars instead of labor and product. Why should n't we keep on campaigning. Prom ises of prosperity have not been fulfilled. We were to have had it oon as the returns were in. The question 61 secession was not fettled in the first battle. Wc did 4it gain our national independence in the firBt battle. We did not re pulse the 'British in 1812 they Hiaptured our t apital in the first conflict, yet we drove them away. Last fall's election was not a defeat for us only a temporary respite. Two years ago the Independent did glorious work "against the gold Standard. Its pages teemed with condemnation of such a'system and ; the people began to love it, but TJike Lot's wife, it looked back and f has turned into a pillar of rebuke to 'itself. In 1890 it supported a free coinage platform in ' Oregon. In : 1895 it helped to defeat Mr. Dolph ifor senator, of whom it said: ""He' represents Wall street and Lon 4on, not the producing classes of the ktate of Oregon. He is the represeuta : tfve of the east and Europe, not of the groat west. Oregon, as well as the en western part of thef U. S., has been Wit p largely on borrowed capital; and ',wet large sums to the east and Europe. We are willing to bay those debts fairly in the money of the value in which they '-were Contracted. But the policy urged ' by Mr. Dolph of the contraction of the currency, making it scarce ana nign, - would double and treble the indebted . ffless of every man in the state." The Independent fought 'that ystein which, it there excoriates. It hfls since recanted. The Argus 'fought shoulder to shoulder with -the Independent those days. " It how fights alone, and, tukingits ieesonfrbm past' history; knowing that Victory is often long delayed, wiUeoatinue that line of attack , at 4 wlifeli -but 'friend was once a veter- an. The 'Independent's' heart "is right, but the agents of incorporat ed wealth, which he once belabored "have insinuated 'themselves into .hie party, have assumed control and are now in the saddle. A par tisan prejudice will not allow our i Neighbor to purify his ranks, so he now supports what he once con 'demned. money real, iro deemable well,--money. The supply was none too great, in fact not large enough. Silver did circulate prior to 1873. Where? In those countries coin ing at the smallest ratio and it was as good as gold. Can this be disputed: The sum total of gold and silver coined prior to 1873 was as good as though aid sum total had been entirely of gold! There fore: When silver was demonetiz ed it was as though the total gold and silver rupply had been a gold supply, and such demonetization was to deny to the gold one half its rights of eoinag a fifty per cent restriction, as it were. This ought to be plain. Whom did such law benefit? Plainly enough, those who sold and loaned money only. Whom did it hurt? Evidently no certainly, those who wanted to buy money with labor or labor's product. These facts can be seen by any man of fairness who will remove partisan guides from intent to study, and we believe that such study will result in bimetallic law "WHATEVER 18, IS RIGHT." When Alexander Pope wrote the paraphrase, "Whatever is, is right" he knew what was right. The statement must be viewed from proper analysis and. with all the qualifications necessary to substant iate the truth of the assertion em braced. No one will contend that wrong does not exist and that Mr Pope's line of reasoning denies such existence. Wrong does exist that people may know the right and make the necessary change. Wrong has always existed; always will exist; it is the common object of attack by society organized; it organizes society that good may result., Republicans mourned long and loudly because Mr. Cleveland was opposing silver legislation. Even the now president berated him fo wanting "money dear and all else cheap.".' But' the money syndicates captured the party and forced down the throats of the rank and file rankest gold monometallism. The time servers thereupon commenced to laud that which ' they condem ned a short time before. That was subordination of manhood and cit izenship, but it mattered not to the trust promoters. Mr. Hannah man was elected. That was' h 11. Bux ton Sunday Machete. EDITORIAL KAMIiLlNGS. The tariff law is now on ' the statute books and prosperity, already too long delayed, is expected on the next train. There are over 60,000 postoffices in the United States. How happy would be our Hanna friends, should a law pass congress to coin these offices at 16 to I. In the light of past experience we were of the opinion that Forest Grove's license tax on bankers would have been placed at several thousand dollars in stead of 20, measly. American silver dollars. It is surprising how men who have tariff bills named after them come to the front in public lite. Major McKinley, after whom the tariff bill of 1890 was named has become president; Col. Wil son, of 1894 tarifl bill fame, has been made president of a university, and Mr. Dingley, of Maine, the man whose name distinguishes the present trust protector, has the unspeakable honor of being the only man recognizable by the obese, cultured, speaker of the national House of Representatives. If our Oregon poli ticians would rise in the world they will profit by the moral cf this lesson. 1 1 2 9 r 1 w 11 JlcMiiiville National Hank to E K Mil ler 3ti.48 a sec 8 1 1 n r 4w L C Walker and wife to J C Woods 1.81 a Klkanah Walker d 1 c f'.tiO Jane M Smith to U H Marsh part blk 1 Walker add FU 4U M I) Markani to Fnmile Itiuim 8 e M s e Yt sec 4 and w w sec 8 t 1 11 r 4 w 2tOU Mamie Bacon and husband to Ovnthlu Murkhnin lot 8 blk 7 S F add to 'Forest urove twi CHARLES.

But not fully. We must Remember the hundreds of thousands of square miles of territory, rich in every natural resource of soil and climate, as yet scarcely subdued from the wiluuess ot nature, yearning for settle ment and civilization, and ready as soon as the artificial dearness and scarcity of full money shall once more be succeeded by supply of dollars that thrive by use rather than idleness, to welcome a large population anil employ it in : diversified commerce. We must remember the increase of more than two millions a year in our population which must enter into the per formance of its share in production ;md exchanges, and which, therelore, calls for a proportionate addition to the basis of trade and values. We must remember the vast regions in the country where the resources of credit are so "slender. but whose expansion can proceed only upon me procurement ot nn enlarged support in more fundamental money. , The figures will show, with whatsoev er thoroughness they may be examined, that in every respect qualifying a nation to absorb money, the United States bears to the total similiar power of the world to-day a relative proportion from two to eight times as great as that which France sustained to the world's total in 1870.
