Issued Every ThuraJay Moraine by The Gazette Publishing Co, B. W. JOHNSON,- SSJSi- iger. CORVAMJS, OREGON. SEPT. 3, 1896. THE PREDOMINANT ISSUE. The Chicago platform is but the expression of the spirit of un rest. Impatience is its guiding thought. Resistance to legal au thority breathes out from every plank. Free silver is not ad vanced as a philosophical remedy but as a protest against the inevi table operation of natural law. Thousands of citizens, who are advocates of free coinage of sil ver, cannot endorse it as the war cry of sectionalism ; as the badge - of thinly veiled anarchy. The free silver banner has been siezed by the apostles of unre straint, and behind that ensign are being mustered the enemies of society the foes of govern ment. The financial question has not superseded the tariff is sue, but both have been over shadowed by the larger, more vi tal question of governmental stability. It is not a mere finan cial theory that has effaced party lines and silenced party issues. A question of vaster moment en gages the attention, and the spirit that prompted our forefathers to fight for American independence, the wisdom that guided the lay ing of the foundation of mighty nation of free people that spirit and that wisdom calls us to de fend our nation from the goths and vandals, springing up in our very midst. Free silver as a mere financial theory, whether we believe with its advocates," that it would raise prices and ensure prosperty, or whether we realize with its op ponents that it would result in a depreciated currency with result ant contraction and panic, does not in itself call forth this im pending stupendous struggle and obliteration of party lines. But free . silver as the common rally ing ground of lawlessness, with accompanying denunciations of . government and order, arrays against it the active patriotism of intelligent American citizenship. Judge Burnett in the Times has a column on the money ques tion. His first sentence "the ag gregate of all "the money in the United States is the true meas ure of normal values of commo dities here," is surprisingly incor rect. The price of wheat, the chief product of our farms, is based on the Liverpool prices, as all farmers and wheat dealers know. Again the judge says: "Under the law of 1878 we coin ed two millions of silver dollars every month for twelve years until 1890 and gold was never so plenty, nor the people so pros perous; the treasury of the Uni ted States was bursting with both gold and silver to such an extent that the surplus of a hundred and fifty millions of dollars was used "by this government to buy its own bonds at a premium of thirty percent." Exactly so. The re publican policy, as the judge im plies, is the policy of prosperity. That law of 1878 was not a free silver law and has never been repealed. The republican party is satisfied to return to that sys tem whose results Judge Burnett so well pictures. Bryan advo cates the repeal of the law of 1878, and proposes to adopt silver monometalism. McKinley is for the only practical bimetalism, and the logical conclusion to be drawn from Judge Burnett's argument is: "We should return to a republican administration." "Democracy will triumph in this election!" exclaims an en thusiastic follower of the Nebras ka youth. His words were truer than his meaning. The purpose af real democracy is to defeat Bryan and the issues he repre sents. McKinley' s election "will be a triumph for genuine demo crats as well as for republicans, and their exultation will be all . the more grand because it is tinged with no thought of office holding. A BILL signifies that there is something to pay. The Chicago convention has presented to the American people a Bill Bill Bryan, and should they endorse this Bill, there will be hell tb pay and that without remedy. "It la Immaterial In my Jodirment whether tbe wool grower receives any benefit from the tariff on wool or not; whether he does or does not ... I am for tree wool." Extract from William 9. Bryan's speech in congress, January 27tb, 1894; Congressional Record Fifty thirit Concrress, second session. Vol. 36, fio. 36, p. 1534. A FARMER'S VIEW. The two great parties have now nominated their candidates and have declared their principles. The isssue is now before us, as American citizens, who were given, by our forefathers, the elective franchise, the greatest gift to man, that we might have a voice in the policies and principles that eovern our country. Is it not our duty to sustain a party that will good to the greatest number ? THE FARMER. I have always felt that the success of this great republican gov ernment depended on the intellegence of-the Ainericau farmer. I am a farmer. I spent ten years of my life behind the plow. The largest interest I have is farming. My interest is with the farmer, and I have asked myself "As no man knows better than you the present hard condition of the farmer, have we not a great interest in this campaign ? CAUSE OF THE DEPRESSION. Now let us be honest with ourselves and discuss this question on its merits, with no prejudice or ill will to anyone.." First: What brought about this great depression ? The fundamental principle of the democratic party is against protection of American industry. That the government should not in any sense assume a parental protection to its own people. In 1844 they opposed free schools, acting on the theory that the government should not be in any sense parental in the interest of the people. But they now stand for free schools, and I have always been in hopes they would be in favor of protection to our own industries. You ought not to reduce the wages of the laborer; you do not reduce him socially, morally and intellectually. With reciprocity repealed,' closing the markets of the world against our farm products, and cutting off the revenue of our government, gold in our treasury began to go abroad to pay for our foreign-made goods. The repeal of reciprocity reduced our exports of breadstuffs from two hundred and nineteen millions of dollars to one hundred and fourteen millions, and we are now sell ing our grain for nothing because our people cannot buy it, as they are idle. Under reciprocity we shipped this grain abroad. These are the causes that produced the panic, and everyone then com menced to hedge, and confidence among our own people was lost, and we have been idle ever since. our products, except wheat. It is because we have a much larger percentage of money per capita now than we had from 1861 to 1890. They may tell you that you got good prices during war times, when gold was at a premium, but it was not that: it was the demand. for farmer's products. - - TARIFF REDUCTION. All men who accomplish anything in this world must do it by their individuality. We are an individual nation and must take care of ourselves. England, France and Germany will not take care of us. As soon as Grover Cleveland was elected, the demo crats got control 01 botn nouses 01 congress, i ne tarin was re duced so that foreign goods could be imported, closing up our own manufactories and filling our land with idle labor, on the theory that the more foreign goods we imported, and the more we reduced the wages of labor, and the more 1 would be. They find this theory perity, so they now propose to reduce the value of the laborer by paying him a ntty-cent dollar, in facturers to compete with those- of PROTECTION FOR Under the principles of the republican party from i860 to 1892, labor was well paid and well employed and consumed the farmer's product at a good price. Now is farmer to stand for protection of sound money, and bring back to the nation prosperity and confi dence among ourselves and confidence among the nations of the world ? The republican government is for integrity and manhood and our inalienable right to protect ourselves. Is it not better for the farmer to stick to the party of action whose policy and prin ciples have given us prosperity than to join a party of repudiation, a party of promises that are never kept or. fulfilled which has abandoned the issue of 1892 and taken up a new theory to remain in power? RECIPROCITY. What is reciprocity, and how does it affect the farmer? Reci procity is to say to the nations of the world any product that we cannot produce at home, or produce to good advantage, we will ac cept without duty, if in your country you will receive in return without duty our products, but articles we can produce and manu facture at home we will protect with a duty to protect our own labor. With the tariff and reciprocity, we are in a position to trade with other nations to protect our own interests for the bene fit of our own people. How has the farmer been affected by the repeal of reciprocity ? The markets of the world have been cut off. When we had reciprocity, we sold cattle and hog products to Cuba, France, Germany, Belgium, Switzerland, Norway and Sweden. When reciprocity was repealed, these governments under the sani tary law, under a false pretense, claimed our cattle were sick, when the facts are, that the insurance companies have reduced the. rates of insurance in the last eight years, from six dollars a head down to fifty cants, and no live stock shipper has lost a steer by disease in the last eight years. The secretary of agriculture allows these nations to declare that his inspection is worthless, when the national inspection on live cattle is and always has been very rigid. Each and every steer is inspected separately, and a tag put in his ear, and every peice ot meat has a government stamp. We allow them to ship twenty-one dollars' worth of wine and they pay two dollars duty, but they charge us on twenty dollars' worth of wheat, twelve dollars. Duty on lard is three and one-half cents per pound, twenty-one cents on rye, six cents on oats, fourteen cents on corn, thirty-six cents on wheat. Any man who has horse sense enough to come in when it rains can see why we do not get anything for our products we ship to foreign countries. Is it any wonder our nation is poor? How long could you and I trade on this basis? One of us would be sure to go broke. Samuel W. Allerton, in Hardware for August 26th. Mr. Bryan, the metbric pur loiner of gaudy metaphors, has spent his sparkle. Not even a shimmering imitation of the crimson Chicago burst of glory, can his managers conjure up for the overcoming of the effete east. They have killed the winged steed of juvenile elo quence in curbing it. Want more money? Well, rather, Willie. But we are on to your tricks. That's the question the oily-tonsrued -nutshell game fakir asks, but we don' t bite.

The forces are at work. - Orato ry is iu the air. - The officers of the Benton coun ty McKinley club are at work. They promise that the campaign will be the liveliest Beaton county has ever seen. Announcements will probably be made next week. The Bryan aud Watson followers are to organize tonight. Several democrats are expected to be pres ent and help the populists declare that lilty cents maiie one dollar. The populist folks intend to have Reverend Baikley, Marion county's preacher politician, Jollow Senator Mitchell around the stale. Right On Barkley's path, and bat tlingfor McKinley, will appear that old Oregonian Methodist divine, I. 1). Driver. Driver is state senator elect from Lane county and is as vigorous, forcible and eloquent. as he was in the days of Oregon's early statehood. They had an election back in Vermont, Tuesday, and the repub licans elected their ticket by the largest majority in the state's his-1 tory. While the party ot protec tion and honest money expected to carry the state, even the most enthusiastic republicans ' were agreeably surprised at the result 39,000 majority. This bit ot news 1 must have a depressing effect upon the populist campaign. The Bryan combination in Ore gon is not 'yafc satisfied with the fusion electoral ticket, As it now is arranged it includes two popu lists, a Bryan democrat and the j political acrobat, Col. Hofer. It is j supposed to favot Watson for vice- president, but the populist masses put no faith in the promises of the democrat and the acrobat. They want straight-out populist electors and know that if they insist, they can get them. Tomorrow (Friday) night Hon. T. T. Tjteer, often spoken of as the "farmer eloquent," and as the "tall sycamore of Waldo hills," will ad dress the citizens of Benton coun ty on behalf of stable government. The meeting will be held at the court house. Mr. Geer's addresses are embellished with a dry humor that together with his keen sar casm and logical reasoning makes him an orator worth listening to. In Benton county Tongue re ceived S42 votes, Vanderburg 572, Meyers 485 and Ghristensen 73. Vanderburg and Meyers vote con bined exceeded Tongue's by 215. Free silver followers claim Benton county by 200 plurality while Mc Kinley men expect as great a plu rality for the farmer's friend from Ohio. Gold democrats, generally voted for Meyers in June, while a large number of McKinley repub licans resented Hermann's defeat in the convention by voting for Vanderburg. Wells Items.. Several parlies from here are rusticating at Fish Lake. Threshing machines have all laid up to wait for the late crops of spring oats. Everybody is busy hauling wheat and talking free silver, es pecially we populists: There was a social dance at the grange hall on tha 29th. . Every body reports a good time. Quite a number of the McKin ley men here are talking of join ing the McKinley club in Corvallis. Wells. Alsea Jottings. Rev. Badger is still holding his meetings.
