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

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

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.
