7. DAMN THE COUNTY COURT.
Let us not forgot our own
county court when we are damn
ing the money powers aud sub
servient governments. Charity
cd reform should besrm at home.
people of Benton county
awaken and protest against
he crushing demands of the
county admimstratian, and de
clare that the heavy and useless
burdens imposed upon the citi
zens must be removed.
The people of Benton county
have been taxed and taxed and
taxed. Year after year the
insatiable county government
holdsL up our citizens and de
mands toll. Homes have been
sold for taxes and every year the
pressing distress of a large num
ber is caused by the tax collec
tor. Have': we no courage, no
manhood, 110 independence, that
we submit to such things?
"But the county must have
money," says some hired agent
of the devilish money powers.
Then let the county court make
its money. Is it not a govern
ment and is it not the stamp of a
vernment that makes money?
Why should county, warrants be
made redeemable in gold or sil-
ver'
Eet the county court de
that county warrants are

burden of taxation and instead
of our citizens scrimping and
saving to furnish the county
y, . the county will make
amends for the past unjust, un-
necessay and damnable extortion
and supply the people with mon
ey. . The watchful employe of the
millionaire again objects: "But
the warrants will not be worth
anything in other counties, aud if
1 those counties won't consent"
" Stop right there. Benton county
is big enough and wise enough
to formulate its own policy with-

counties, and they are unpatri
otic paltroons who think it is
not ' . . ..
"The national" government re
serves the right to make money
and would put a stop to Benton's
r proposed scheme, ' ' says our mer
cenary objector. What business
has the national government with
our business? In the words of
he Chicago platform aud re
echoed ..by William Jennings-
Bryan: - "We denounce the ar
bitrary interference by Federal
authorities in local affairs as a
violation of the constitution of
the United States,' and a crime
against free institutions." Ay!
nd we will do more than de
nounce should the federal au
thorities attempt to restrain the
free aud unlimited coinage of
county warrants, stamped 4 'man-
Ley not payable in money."

CAN YOU HIDE YOU ' FARM?
! Fanners of Benton county,
I what of your businei.;, your
i farms, your' homes? What is
jthe meaning of this "agitation
land how will free silver affect
I your interests?
i You know that W. H. Harvey,
I author of "Coin," is greatly re-
sponsible for the spread of free
jsilverisni. He sold . vast num
jbersof his books and accuinu-
I lated a fortune. Does he believe
in the remedy he advocated, with
profit? L,et his actions speak.
On Thursday, September 3rd,
W. H. Harvey went to the Met
ropolitan National bank, of Chi
cago, where he had $2,500 on
deposit, drew his check for it and
demanded payment in GOLD.
He took this gold and locked
it up iu the safety deposit vaults
of the First National bank.
" He is protecting: himself
against the evil tide that he
knows, will come with Brvan's
election. The quack doctor will
not take his own harmful medi
cine. He is hastening to make
himself safe against the depreci
ation of property that will come
from the policy he has hitherto
urged upon his fello w citizens. -
Farmers, Harvey can hide his
gold, but what will you do. In
what vaults can you hide your
wealth? Yours is the exposed
property and the storm will
break upon you. You know
this. What of your crops?
They are perishable you must
sell or lose them. You can store
your wheat? . What about stor
age aud insurance? Where will
you hide your farm?
Bryan says gold will not go
out of circulation under free
coinage of silver. He knows
better. Even the possibility of
free coinage is driving gold out.
Harvey himself is hoarding gold
and people all oyer the country
are hoarding gold. It is the
plain people who are the money
power of this country. Do you
wish the gold to circulate? Do
you wish to escape the storm that
threatens your interests individ
ually and as a good American
citizen?
Then not only vote against the
apostle of repudiation, dishonest
money and lawlessness, but work
and work hard. . Make the ma
jority against Bryan so distinct,
so emphatic, that the doctrine of
folly he represents will be ground
into the dust? Then confidence
will return. Harvey's gold and
other gold will coine forth from
their hiding places. Trade will
revise, laborers will find employ
ment and farmers will find a
market.- Then we can feel that
."God reigns and the government
at Washington still lives."
COLOSSAL AUDACITY.
The sinister meaning of the
"federal interference" plank iu
the Chicago platform grows up
on us. What a spectacle is this
of a man having any consider
able following, attempting to win
the suffrages of the American
people by such a plea as "We
denounce arbitrary interference
by federal authorities . in local af
fairs as a crime against free in
stitutions," referring especially
to the rescue of U. S. mails from
the bands of a mob.
Thar plank would strike at
our national existence ' and yet
Bryan audaciously preaches the
doctrine from every platform he
occupies in his campaign's "tour.
This is the anarchy that is
charged against him and this is
the doctrine that will condemn
him before the loyal citizens of
our great republic. No wonder
Vermont spoke by 40,000 ma
jority, small wonder that Maine
swells the tide by 50,000 more.
Small wonder it is, also, that
Arkansas should love Bryan so
well. The voice of Oregon in
November will join the patriotic
chorus. She will never, please
God, ally herself with those who
chatter in silliness, rave in mad
ness or who wonld prostitute the
government for their own gain.
"Talk about a 200-cent dol
lar!" says Senator Thurston, re
plying to a free silver orator's
charge that the gold dollar has
appreciated in value instead of
silver depreciating. "Well, if
that is the case, the farmers are
getting considerably more than a
dollar a bushel for their wheat,
while American labor is getting
almost three times the compensa
tion it did in 1873, when silver
was demonetized." Toledo
Blade.-
The home market is the best
friend of the farmer. It is his
best market. It is the only re
liable market. It is his own
natural market. He should be
protected in its enjoyment by
wise tariff legislation, and this
home market should not be per
mitted to be destroyed by lessen
ing the demand for American la
bor and diminishing the pay of
American workmen and thereby
diminishing the demand for ag
ricultural products. McKinley.

Preacher
Barkley's
ments.
Misstate-
j The Rev. H. L. Barkley appear-
ed before an audience assembled
I at the court house at Corvallis,
Oregon, on last Monday evening
to discourse populistic Bryanism
to a mixed crowd of people of dif
ferent political faith. The people
had heard of Rev. Barkley as a
man from whom they might ex
pect expressions of candor and
truth. He gave his hearers to un
derstand that 'he had been a re
publican. He was one of those
so called republicans who went
into the republican convention at
Marion county, Oregon, and ac
cepted the nomination lor repre
sentative and was elected as a re
publican, when at that time he
knew in his own mind that he was
an impostor nothing but a full
Hedged populist as well then- as
he now knows that he is a popu
list.
During his remarks, while he
was discussing the project ol free
coinage of silver at the ratio of 16
lo one and of repudiation, lie said
lli.tl if to pay in the kind of money
that contract called for, was called
repudiation, then he was a 'repudi
iitionisls;' and we sincerely give
him credit for the acknowledge
ment of this one item of truth and
candor. Iu that connection he
failed lo explain to his hearers that
it he called upon his neighbor lo
borrow $1,000 in gold, and should
obtain the loan, and the contract
should stipulate that it was to be
paid in coin, when at that time all
kinds of money with which such a
contract could be paid was equal
in value to gold, the best money
and it had been the settled policy
of the country to keep"all moneys
at an equal value and afterward
the borrower should connive with
and cause the government officials
(law making power) to create a
new and different condition of
money, of one-half or one-fourth
of the value of the gold borrowed,
and the borrower should take such
depreciated money and pay his
neighbor for the gold borrowed by
returning to him one-fourl h or one
half the value thereof,if that would
be honest belore God or man.
In this connection hid remarks
were calculated to again, deceive
the people by appealing lo the
prejudice of his hearers, in criticis
ing the dislike of the English peo
ple to take their pay iu silver for
contracts on which ' they had ori
ginally given gold; but this is beg
ging the question henesty is right
and rascality and repudiation are
wrong. If it is honest to pay our
next door neighbor in a half-value
money, it would be right to pay
people in England the same. If it
is wrong to pay creditors in loreign
countries in half money, so it would
be dishonest to pay our neighbor
in like manner. Irue honesty is
made ol 'sterner stuff" than to be
brushed aside with ridicule or pre
judice. Perhaps Ihe conscience of
the speaker was not acute enough
to perceive the distinction, but the
ordinary business world recognizes
it. Again he said that Ex-Presi
dent Harrison said, that 'if McKin
ley was elected president, the gov
ernment would continue to issue
interest bearing bonds," and Ihey
would continue to issue such bonds
until $9,000,000,000 wre issued.
Where or wlen was this said by
Mr. Harrison, or any other repub
lican of sense or honesty ? Why
did he not honestly and fairly tell
his hearers that during the twenty-
eight years of republican rule
from 1864 lo 1892 the economic
and financial policy of the repub
lican party had paid off over four
fifths of a national debt so large
that it seemed incredible to many
that it could ever be paid. Dur
iug all that time the revenues of
the country accumulated smoothly
aud without iriction or inconven
ience to her people, and ' only a
few years ago the accumulated
revenues of the government were
so abundant, under republican rule,
that there was serious talk in con
gress and out of congress, of adopt
ing measures to divide the accu
mulation in the treasury among
the several states.
Even with a so-called clerical
gentleman of his mental caliber
there should be a pretense, at least,
to statements of some degree of
consistency and truth. -
He also quoted a few words from
Mr. Blaine, which, taken alone and
if one did not know all that Mr.
Blaine said, would naturally leave
the impression that Mr. Blaine
said and meant entirely the oppo
site of what Blaine did actually
say aud mean. The speaker said
many other things equally garbled
aud inconsistent, as the instances
above referred to. His remarks
were certainly disappointing to nis
entire audience. His hearers were
entitled to expect a more candid
and truthful treatment of the sub
ject. . . f
We predict, however, that the
Bryan silverites will all be disap
pointed in their speakers, because
they are advocating class legisla
tion in favor of a few silver mine
owners and against the masses.
In such cases the history ot the
world has universally, demonstrat
ed that in all ages the argument is
so transparent that "he who runs
may read" and interpret the fallacy
and untruth of their position. "The
people have a right to expect, how
ever, that a man whose calling is
to preach Christ and him crucitied,
to a fallen humanity, should have
a better conception of his duties
to God and mankind than to get
off into such a salted mass of
wickedness and polution as Rev.
Barkley has pleased to associate !
himself in the pojitjeal cesspool
of Brvanism, repudiation and as
sault upon the supreme court of
the United States.'
