banker's convention. Every step
in these bill, leads to gold mono
metallism, pure and simple. Not
one of the recommends contains a
word about postal savings banks;
not a consideration is offered a bus
iness interest except those of bank
ing. Thus, in the two great meas
ure or.e already begotten in a
tariff bill for deficit, only, and the
other now in incubation, currency

turing capital has Wen given a
bounty and that the bankers who
in part furnish this capital, must
have another benefit! With this
so palpably evident, it is amusing

effort to swell the starting of one
factory into a dozen? Are not the
people of the east the best judge of
what are good times? In these
prosperity supplements why are
not our friends telling us about the
reductions of wages everywhere?
The organized howl about prosper
ity is a sure sign of the times. It
is a sign that it isn't here. A 75

have been a $1.50 market has
helped the wheat farmer amazingly
but there the matter rests.

Why this silence?
A PR-PEK VN.T.
DO NOT LIKE THE BARGAIN.
All the New England mills are cut
ting wages. Even in Thomas B.
Reed's state, the cut has been made.
This is in direct line with what re
publicans were told would occur.
The manufacturers have their boun
ty assured by law; they buy their
cotton lower than ever before and
now tbey must make a bigger divi
dend by cutting the wages of oper
atives. But j'y of joys! The poor
devils of operatives can gratify their
souls by thinking that they are get
ting "honest dollars."
The entire north eaBt voted for
the syndicate government, they
wanted syndicate government, and
now let them have syndicate gov
ernment and enjoy it! After awhile
those Jonahs will vote for the agri
cultural interests which must thrive
in rler that the purchase of the
. ware of the laborer's making may
follow. The Easterners brought
theL own reductions with their
voti'n and they should not now re
r nt their bargain.

Tbe Firebrand (Portland) editors
were indicted upon the presenta
tion of facts that the paper had
vubtished one of Walt Whitman's
ywems. Whitman's works are in
ewy well selected library, public
and private. A too prurient pub
sometimes makes mistakes.
WLydo not our officers go after
the publishers of Shakespeare, By
rou, Pope and hundreds of other
kindred works, which occasionally
call things by their right names
It was in one of these volumes that
the Oregonian found the word
"stinkard," the use of which caused
a Mr. Uole to wish he could sue
and recover but he didn't. But
this is digression. If our prosecub
ing officers would read a few of our
standard authois they would not
be quite so ready to attack lang
uage which is not Bostonese.

ers and manufacturers have their
lobbies at the national capital, ask
ing for favors, while the man who
asks for legislation for the producer
is looked upon as a "jay;" a vision
ary; an anarchist, perhaps. Bank
ers and corporation lawyers (some
poor ones too, witness McKenna)
go to make up the powers that be,
but for zeal and fidelity of purpose,
the banking element outstrips them
all. But they have reason to be
zealous, and they have reason to be
clamorous they paid their tithe-
ing in 1896 with the understanding
that favors were to be bestowed.
And now to the point. That these
"national honor" fellow9 are work
ing for their best interests, all will
concede. Is the greatest good to
this class the greatest grod to the

"Bssed values. The railroad com
pany has much valuable land in
the; Willamette valley and it is be
Jkg made greater in value and sell--ving
price each year by the improve
ment of surrounding property.
Jackson county has assessed the
company's roadbed at $10,000 per
mile and the Judge tells the Board
that this is quite low enough a val-
uation. Here in this county the
assessed valuation of roadbed is
$3353 per mile, but as all property
has been listed on lower valuations
than in aidst counties, the road has
no benefit on the low valuations.
However, the law ought to be posi
tive on this assessment question.
Along the sand war-tes of the Col
ttabia river we find roadbed assess
ed at as high as $4,600 per mile,
while in the fertile Willamette val
ley in some counties the assessment
overreaches the $3,000 mark.

make their returns. Jackson coun
ty's assessment of $10,000 per mile
comes nearer touching true values
than any other assessment in the
state. Jackson county officials are
not very well liked by the S. P.,
and it is a very safe proposition
that they pay their fare, while it is
known that many county officials
over the state travel for nothing.
Two hundred thousand Jollars for
Klondike but not a pair of cannon

and some of them American, star
ving in Cuba and fighting for liber
ty, but not one cent for saving life
floundering at our very door!
Klondikers went north this fall
in the teeth of remonstrance from
the nation's press. They are now
in the polar regions and if about to
become destitute, should be helped,
today. There are times when the
government can properly assume a
paternalistic mood, but in this let
us be consistent. The United States
government has no mission to per
ioral in freeing the world. But
when it sees people fighting for lib
erty at its very footstool, with star
vation for diet, it could exercise no
greater act of true Americanism
than to end the miserable farce.
Two hundred thousand dollars
yes, less would do it. But our
genial and apathetic government
sees no Cuba on the map; hears no
cry of distress coming from just

SIGNS OP THE TIMES.
The uniting of the anti-gold stand
ard forces is proper; expedient; bas-
made
substantial by an affinity of princi
ple that is far more binding than
division of offices. It is not fusion
for fusion is where the merging
parties have diametrically opposite
principles or political faith. Union
is marked on different lines; in un
ion there is a shoulder to shoulder
ballot for like principles of govern
ment. The democratic party of
the nation is for independent ' bi
metallism and the income tax and
for government issue of all paper
money. The populists are pledged
to the same bimetallic principle,
are for an income tax and stand
for government issue of paper mon
ey. The first demand in the Oma
ha platform is for the free coinage
of both gold and silver. The silver
republicans supporters of the old
Lincoln party stand for the old
constitutional idea of money and
they are necessarily with the demo
crals and populists on this issue.
People of this belief are in the
majority in Oregon. Let them then
as the majority sentiment of this
maionty demands, stand together
in one stampede of votes to over
throw the gold monos and send
men to Congress representing mod
em views on the money question
There is neither good judgment nor
politics in splitting the forces. Nc
self appointed politician should
stand in the way of what the free
coinage people want. If there are
free coinage people who want the
initiative and referendum, no one
will object. Reasonable people will
not object to the introduction of
this phase of political action into
state, national and municipal af
fairs. It Oregon had tins provision
now, there would be less profligacy
in our state affairs.
Patriotism should step in ahead
of partisanship. The republicans
want to see division and trust them
tor working it hard. Uivision is
their chance of winning out. Pal
riots could grant them the loaves
and fishes going with success at
the polls if the principle involved
in this success were put in law.
But, as these things neoeerlrf "?
's we cannot iaUtii4h
?9f$TOf issues, the cry of
spoils should deter no one from
voting against the goldite, bonding,
monopolistic element in politic,
and putting that vote where it will
carry success. Put at the top of
the balht "Anti-bond government
and government not bank mon
ey, gold, silver and paper and dir
ect legislation," and pin your faith
to American patriotism to do the
rest. Then will we be men, not
"politicians."'
Mr. Alger's Klondike expedition may
be waiting for the efficient services ol
Mr. Manna as a guide.
There is no earthly reason why Messrs
Mitchell, Corbett and Hanna cannot
have a consolation meeting.
Mr. Gage is still of the opinion that he
knows something about finance even tho'
Chandler protests to the contrary.
It is surmised that the federal detect
ives sent to Ohio have by this time dis
covered evidence of a great crime.
It is not expected that Mr. Corbett
(not James J.) will lament over the solar
plexus blows given the beefy fighter o
Ohio on Monday of this week.
The regular republican committee of
Multnomah county seems suspicious of
that particular brand of salt Mr. Mitch
ell is now using to throw at its caudal
appendage.
Mr. McKinley's prime minister and
master may be able to play h-U with the
republic, but whe-i it comes to the state
of Ohio he is an utter failure as a Meph-istopholes.
The Dingley bill seems to work con
tranties. The fleece of the sheep has
leapt with joy while the film of the cot
ton bush has crept into its hole, which it
has pulled in after. Ditto New England
wages.
It is not to be doubted that Mr. Coxey
will inform Mr. Hanna of a very specta
cular way and pleasant route to Wash
ington, wherein he may attract the atten
tion of the entire republic, even if he can
not go back to the senate.
Oregon republican politicians should
not glory because Mr. Hanna has been
sat upon by Ohio partisans, even if Mr.
Hanna did try to have Mitchell elected
out in Oregon. Perhaps when Mr. Han
na did that he felt a sympathy for John
H. in the thought that there was a grave
probability he would be in a like position
himself in January, 1898.
But liefore lie hail picked up the pen he
found that he was watched, and wrote,
"C. C. P. Kurtz.'' Kurtz did not suc
ceed in deceiving Senator Hanna as to
his mission in Washington, for bright
and early the next morning the report
was given widecircul lion that there had
been a midnight conference at McLean's
home, and everv move which he had
hoped to keep dark was made by Ilanuu
and his agents as light as day.
It is not known that Hauiia's agents
have discovered that money has been
abundantly used by the Kurt, following,
though Bushnell has some patronage up
l is sleeve, but to Senator Foraker and
Governor Bushnell it has been apparent
for several weeks that they have been
hounded like common criminals by Fed
eral employes. When the resolution of
inquiry is introduced in the Senate, an
interesting debate will follow, which may
not ne altogether to scuaior llannu s
liking.

THE BANKERS' ZEAL.
In the face of the fact that the dis
patches tell of further cuts in wag
es, daily, general throughout New
England; notwithstanding failures
are etill keeping up to last year's
figures in dollars and cents, the
press under goldite influence con
tinues to howl about prosperity as
though it thought the people veri
est nincompoops and ignorr muses.
One is constrained, however, to note
that it is only the goldite republi
can press which has been doing this
that for which howling calamity
outhowled them all. This is a sign
not to not be igi.ored. It is proof
enough that the same master mind
controls the republican press thro'
out the union. When facts are be
ing thrown to the wind; when wag
es are being "razed" after laborers
having voted a bounty into their
employers' pockets; when the east
tells us of no improvement in any
thing except in the price of wheat ;
when the cotton growers of the south
are selling lower than ever hereto
fore, with crops no larger; with re
publican majorities in the last cam
paign largely reduced and in many
Strange as it may seem, every cur

The gold standard wing of the re

Senator Mitchell stumped the state

what has been expected by all those
who were familiar with the intei t
of the St. Louis platform makers.
The international plank was the
sop to catch those in the party
which were opposed to the gold
standard. Mitchell had the sense
to see this. He knew it, and yet,
during the canvass, made speeches
for that which he had strenuously
opposed in national councils. He
did this for the sake of office and
then lost it. All the world admires
a man who Mands for principles
and all the world despises a palter
er. The ex-senator should have
declared for the one or the other,

he hod stated that international
agreement was impossible, so ho
can not plead faith for his subse
