LET THEM STAND FIRM.
There was joy in New York City
Tuesday morning when the wires
flashed the news that Oregon had
gone for the cheap product idea,
and the cablegram which immedi
ately insinuated itself to London
made the lords of that realm feel
that, after all. English financial
policies, adroitly manipulated, were
slowly but surely conquering Amer
ican institutions where twice the
force of English armament had sig
nally failed on the arms of our far
ming millions. But, while the lords
shout over their triumph, there is
mourning in every American heart
that beats for those sturdy yeomen
of our land, of whatsoever political
creed (for all must bear the same
conditions in future) fesliug that
one more link has been forged in
the chain which lends strength and
a greater measure for every person
who owns that for which our farm
ers must compete.
England has had her Cromwell
and but one. She has no Crom
wells now. They are but of history.
Royalty a conglomeration of par
asites rules supreme, and the old
feudal instinct thrills with a feudal
type of success. The corporate in
fluences of the ea? t and Europe re
joice that the way may soon be
blazed to tie up for 50 years, by
acts of the American congress, the
American people tie them so that
no change of administration can
lessen the burden.
The student of history sees more
than this. He sees America be
corning Europeanized; he sees sov
ereign Columbia undoing itself and
feels that the same subtle influenc
es which taxed our forefathers with
out representation prior to 177fi,
are raising their heads to again
subjugate our empire of resources.
Let us hope the Senate will 6tand
agatnsi tnis mil lor "currency re
form." Let the southern and wes
tern senators stand out and heed
the oyer six millions of caucasions
who voted for Mr. Bryan, as against
the less than six million Caucasians
who voted for Mr. McKinley. . Let
them not-allow corporate influences
and legislation to reduce the value
of one of our moneys of payment
by right of contract and then force
us to pay in the appreciated other.
THE OREGON ELECTION'.
The election is over. Oregon- has
voted to sustain the administra
tion's financial policy, the policy of
Wall and Lombard Streets, as the
Independent used to say, when it
was fighting the present financial
eystem. Oregon has endorsed Mr.
Dolph; has endorsed the Gage sys
tem of finance; has endorsed Messrs.
Hanna and Elkins; has endorsed
the campaign of abuse of American
citizenship by calling traitor to ev
ery man who stands for American
product as supreme. It is well
Sorry are we, however, that parti
Ban blindness has given success to
' those principles which hold that
the dollar is supreme. This will
mean that the administration will
at once continue its attempt to put
:, us on the gold basis; to refund coin
bonds, substituting the word "gold"
for "coiti;"to redeem the greenbacks
and treasury notes in gold and put
the power of issuing notes in the
hands of the national banks.
What has given them this victory
, in Oregon? "Dollar" wheat and
the war with Spain, can be the only
reply. There were too many who
were ready to accept the tlemogogit!
statement that Dinglsy, not God,
Was responsible for tlie better price
for bread grains. There were too
many ready to believe that a vote:
for the bimetallic system was a votej
against vigorous prosecution of the
war with Spain. Demagogues made
the most of this, and history shows
IM that this position always makes
votes, as witness the federal par-
ly's breaking up in 1S12 and the ; le i one id' justice mid equality,
Whig party going to defeat at the j an economic priiioii.le which will j
time cf the Mexican war. j in a few years become living law.

price of wheat caused by shortage ;

there is no question of doubt audi'10 -'p sustained ami for,
time wil' prove the truth of this as-, t'"it, it is too low for to i-xpict;
settion. Just as it is pretty hard ! anything like good prices f.r Anter-1
to teach an old dog new tricks, iust
so it is useless to exptct Mr. Simon
to inaugurate anv reform in state
affair. He will go to Salem, burn
ing to flog the political life out of
j every one who has ever opposed his
policies and he will come very
nearly doing violence to accomplish
his ends. He will name the next
United States senator and this is
his right, ninee he has named the
successful state and legislative tick
ets with but one or two insignificant
exceptions. Each session of the
legislature has proven that his con
trol is a menace to the state and
yet, he goes back to power albeit
his candidacy was hardly fought.
"Little Joe" is in the saddle by the
grace of the Almighty and an un
fortunate ballot, and the state must
pay the rider well for his services.
THAT EXTRA SESSION.
An extra session is not one of the
remotest possibilities of the near
future. The pold forces want more
senators and Governor Lord may
call an extra session at once to fill
the vacancy paused by the failute
to elect in 1897. If one senator
can do the gold forces any good,
this will be done, and soon.
At the North Hillsboro prima
ries, held early in May, 102 votes
were cast and 13 known republi
cans were not ptesent. Mr. Geer
received 97 votes at the general
election. This falling off probably
accounts for the slow vote received
by the head of the county ticket.
Mosey has been one of the great
influences which carried the day
for the republican ticket. It has
been a campaign wherein "scads"
did the work especially in Mult
nomah county. Pennoyerand Da
vis sought to carry the citv for
their own personal ends, but found
their little sack was not a sideshow
to the huge sack put up by the Si
monites. A registration law would
put a stop to many election abuses,
but a stringent statute making the
exorbittnt use of money in a cam
paign a penitentiary offense,
would somewhat tend to make
cleaner politics.
Thk Oregonian cries out that the
election is a ''victory for principles,
etc." Yes, it is. A victory for
principles that have no good in
them for the agricultural portion of
our state. It is a triumph of Sim
ouism and all that goes with Sim
onism. It is a victory for the banks;
for the wealthy bond holders; for
the Hanna-Elkins people. And
there it stops. The Oregonian
knows that Simonism and the gold
standard go hand in hand. The
one is the other, the other the one
the two divided only by that line
between like national and local
skinning.
The sole satisfaction in Multno
mah county's election results lies
in the perspective of past and fut
ure. Rather than allow the people
to put up a united effort against
Simonism, Pennoyer, in the hope
of personal control of city affairs,
divided those who by common lev
els were ready to protect the city's
good name and t he county's politi
cal rights. The result was not un
expected. The republican ticket is
elected to the legislature and every
body knows what that means, with
Simon in control. The leshon of
the past may be a benefit for the
future. When two giuisjs are ar
rayed for spoils, it matters little
which one wins. A decent Union
movement with defeat would have
been honor as compared with the
rout suffered by the Pennoyer tax-:
eating gang.

When Mr. Ernest Bross was Note and
Comment writer on the Oregonian, his
pointed articles were always refreshing
and the column had many friends anions
that paper's readers. The present wri
ter, however, is a decided misfit and his
twiddling is even enough to give ama
teur journalists a touch of Chagres fever.
This paper is satisfied with the endorse
ment it received at the polls relative to
the head of the county ticket. Filthy
denunciations of the editor without the
slightest scin.illa of evidence to prove,
did not work as well as expected. It is
well and it is a source of no regret to the
editorial sotil that a majority of our peo
ple agree with it on some things.
The East Oregonian thinks the war is
to be prolonged until after the fall elec
tions. We hardly think so, hecause our
West Indian commanders are going to
force the issue, board of strategy, or no.
Perhaps the E. 0. imbibes its opinion
from the fact that so many sons of" "has
beens" have received military appoint
ments over the heads of tried and worthy
men. It looks as thoifgh the board ol
strategy will soon be powerless to hold
Sampson and Schley.
