OREGON'S CHEAT FIGHT.
The line are now drawn. It will
be gold versus gold and silver. It
will be one tiny stream to add to
the money volume a stream inad
equate as against twof ederswith
which to supply the money volume
needed to keep pace with the enor
mous pr cent of gain in population,
development and increased produc
tion. It is the old, old fight. It is
a fight which concerns the very
rich, the very poor, and, most of ail,
those people who support all the
rest of the world, the tillers of the
soil, the hewers of wood and who
comprise the fountain from which
originally flow all profits from com
merce and all payment of debt,
public and private. It is not a
party question. Parties have tak
en it up in this manner: the gold
republicans, through syndicate con
trol of party machinery, craftily in
sinuated it when the rank and file
were unsuspicious, in the almost
positive knowledge of coming vic
tory They did not want contrac
tion the rairk and file and now
that the deception is understood,
many who have been republicans
will turn American citizens and
Tote with (lie bimetallic forces. The
silver people want the two streams,
because the real builders of wealth,
the farmers, must have law which
shall give the greatest good to the
greatest number; because the silver
people are of that class; because
they realize that the gold standard
gives to great security wealth 8 lar
ger return for unit dollars, which,
in turn, means lesser return for the
farmer. It is a greateconomic fight.
It is a battle between low product
as measured in money, on one side,
and decent prices for product on
the other. Better values for money
mean worse values for the agricul
tural people. Better values for ag
ricultural people mean worse val
ues for. Hie dollar, and those to
whom the, foliar is supreme. It is
a business proposition. There is
nothing criminal in the average
man who fights for contraction. The
criminality lies in the fact that the
man whom contraction hurts will
occasionally vote for his undoing
People who support gold standard
ism from standpoint of profit gen
erally do so because it helps them,
not because they despise him of op
posite belief. So, on the other hand,
the bimetal list shoo Id think of him
self, and the millions who have
identical interests. A reasonable
man will vote for conditions which
help him, whether he be in a ma
jority or minority. The majority
are farmers. The moral is not
veiled. . ... . . ..
hand, Simon knew that the Mitch-ell-Elh'8-McBride-Tongue
combine,
no matter how badly treated, would
not have the nerve to put up a
ticket, for the leaders siwply look
for place and profit with but slight
regard for fixed political principles
He knew them lietter than they
knew themselves, and he has tri
umphed. Simon has earned his
first success; let us hope it will not
become permanent. .
and sent back a resolution that he
was an "able" statesman, so fearful
it is that it might concur with a
body anti-republican. But the
house ate its crow the leaders
could not hold republican congress
men into line and they voted that
Cubans "are free and independent.''
Good for the house republicans as ,
against the leaders who sought to '
, ... . . . i
mane out tne senate s action as
partisan, purely. Seeing they could
not hold them, the Dingleyites pro
ceed.nl to knuckle, swearing all the
while that they . were farcing the
senate.
THAT RESOLUTION.
The senate and house agreed to rec
ognize Cuba. Read the resolution
The troubls is, the house sought to
make a partisan proposition of the
affair in order to let the Executive
down easy for his work policy on
this grave question. The "senate
yielded" say the dispatches. No,
no, the sena e did not yield. The
house yielded, as well as did the
senate. To put the matter fairly
both bodies yielded. The house,
which it had not done before, re
ceded, and agreed, in parallel with
the senate's idea, "that the people
of the Island of Cuba are, and of
right ought to be, free and indepen
dent." This is enough. The house
had not done this before. The
President is then directed to use
armed intervention to put Spain
out of the Cuban Island and wat
ers. This was enough. The last
republican platform acknowledged
that Spain had lost control of
Cuba and wanted our good offices
extended to secure Cuban indepen
dence. Those offices were tendered
and repelled.' :;And the MaihWwas
intentionally destroyed. The coun
try demanded reparation and Cub
an independence. Both , houses
agreed to this, over and above the
sdvices of the President, who wan
ted to '"wait." The senate resolu
tion had an awkward repetition,
recognizing independence. The res
olution as concurred in. did not.
That is all there is to the whole affair.
.. In bimetallism we would find the
markets of the world; would start
our wheels without reducing wages;
industry would hum; gold no long
er would enjoy exclusive privileges
granting it a profit if it shall lie
idle. It w uld then get out ami
compete with the other legal tender
money metal. It is well enough,
while we are looking after our dol
lars, to also look after those things
which must buy these dollars, with
which to pay our discounted futures
our national debt, state debt and
all debt. The cry of "cheap dol
lars must not prevail. e must
have cheaper product or cheaper
dollars. Let us have the dearer
product. The farmers are in the
majority.
Some of the gold papers seem in
clined to charge senators with hav
ing "stood in" with the Cubans for
"bond" purposes. Well, well, this,
1 t i . i
inaeeii, is ncn: now aDout me
representatives, who were pursuing
a policy which would have shoved
up the price of Spanish bonds sev
eral points, involving a profit of
severa' millions, and who switched
only in tinii to save everlasting
scandal? Such talk is rot, coming
mini our intelligent tiretiiren. ine
fact is, the house pimply wanted
McKinley to settle the. affair. His
mejthod would have let the Roths
childs' down easy would . have
made them millions npon millions
at a singly stroke! And our ' na
tional honor"' people get very vir
tuous all at once.
DAMNS, THEN LOVES.
THE UBIQUITOUS MR. SIMON,
Mr. Siinori, of Multnomah, i run
ning for senator from that county
He has buck of him men who are
blessed with brains, who are short
on compromise, and who, while not
needing it, use the state for pur
poses venal and mercenary. Mr.
Simon today controls the party re
-..ui: ' i
puoncaii macniuery. 1 lie same
contingency of hold up meatures
will present itself at the next legis
ture should the ticket be successful
Mr. Simon is a politician. Abused
and reviled by such papers as the
Independent and Hatchet, he still
holds power enough to force oppoiri
tion republicanism to the wall.
- His every move is full of political
craft. He tells the anti-Simon
forces, quietly, that they must not
put up tickets, and if they do, hej
will down them. He stands by his
threats and they know it. Hence
they generally knuckle. Such a
man is a power. On the side of
justice be would be a 'great factor,
in the state, but he seldom does
the state a service, unless that ser
vice does him or his friends pecun
iary profit, . That is why heshoul 1
tsL.'jatedat Urn poll- That is
What the republicans of 1896 said
of thoge gold democrats whom they
are now trying to slaver over in or
der to catch their votes:
'For the first time since the civil war the
American people have witnessed the cal
amitous consequences of full and unre
stticted democratic control of the gov
ernment. It has been a record of unpar
alleled incapacity; dishonor and disas
ter. In the broad effect of its pol
icy it has precipitated panic, blighted in-,
dustry and trade with prolonged depres-'
sion, closed factories, reduced work and
wages, halted enterprise and crippled
American production, while stimulating
foreign production for the American
market. Every consideration of public
safety and individual interest demands
that the government shall be rescued
from the hands of those who have shown
themselves incapable to conduct it with
oat disaster at heme and dishonor a
broad,Wc." Is'nt the above ringing? Isn't it
a sweet morsel? But to preserve
the Hanna syndicate in power, the
gold republican press will admit
the above as a lie, will it, if such
admission will capture votes? If
there is a gold democrat who can
read their declarations then, as
above given, and then read their
snivelling of today without appreci
ating hypocrisy, let us see the down
on his cheek or thecolorof his hairl
Wit. deer, who hopes t to elect
ed governor hir the. republican tick
et, w;ll have a bard tiineexplainin:
to his eople why he hns told them
Mr. Simon was opposed to" him.
This is very interesting, since Mr.
Geer had ijo opposition rt Astoria.
The fact is, Mr. Gter stumped the
state for the candidacy, knowing
that the Multnomah "regular" rc
publicans were for him.
The Washington county delegation
stood permanently against seating the
Simon delegation at Astoria. The anti
Simon people have this county, buf a
threat will waver their whole line. They
will have t' knuckle for fear of hurling
Brother Tongue's candidacy.
PEOPLES' PARTY CONVENTION.
Thkke was no pro rata fixing of
the debt of the crown upon the col
onies when we won our independ
ence. So, when congress has rec
ognized Cuba, and it shall have
set up a substantial government.
the Spanish-Cuban debt, tixed upon
the island through n voice of the
people and against their will, should
not be charged to Cuba. The joint
resolution precludes the possibility
of this, whereas the original house
resolution did not. This necessar
ily makes it hard on the Roths
childs, who cwn Spanish bonds, ind
perhaps this is why the senate is
the recepient of so much abuse from
the heavy gold press. It will be
enough that Cuba pays her debt
contracted to keep her men in the
field without loading her with the
obligations of Spain.
