".'1 ; 't 1 1 - I Issued Erery Friday Mornine by fke Gazette Publishing Co. L W. JOHNSON,- f Editor and t Business Manager. CORVALLIS, OREGON, NOV. 27, 1896 i! MATTER OF WISDOM. BAD TIMES AGAIN. At the banquet tendered Mr. Hirsch, in Portland, Saturday nierht, Mr. Scott, among other things, said: "We have differ ences ou minor questions, but we agree on the main question." Iu the graphic language of the street, "let it go at that" The main question of the cam paign was the financial question. It was a campaign of education to many of us who had hitherto impressions rather than knowl edge regarding the science of money. As Colonel Kelsay says, . "We did not change our minds; we simply began to use them." Among the leading men of the nation now in active political life there are few who have , not at some time been deceived by finan cial fallacies. Carlisle, McKin ley, Sherman and hosts of others have let their zeal outrun their wisdom on national financial mat ters." Yet Carlisle is today the ablest.exponent of the science of monev and McKiuley led the. sound-money hosts on to victory. This campaign cf education has educated the teachers as well as the pupils. An interesting ex- ample is the case of Governor McConnell. His letter to the Spokane Review in the beginning or tne campaign, expiainea wny he, a silver man, supported Mc Kinley. A month later he was exDosins- clearly and forcibly, the weaknesses of free silver argu ments. This election has settled " the silver question. Those who supported McKinley will oppose independent tree coinage 01 silver. "-We aeree on the main question.". .-There cannot be any real doubt concerning the attitude of Sena tor Mitchell. It is profitless to ouarrel now over - the meaning of the republican platform of 1892. The. financial plank of that plat- form is admitted by all to be weak and evasive. It is capable of manv constructions. The finan cial declaration of 1896 is, how ever. tlain and explicit It ad- - mits of no difference between re -publicans 01K this question, and Senator Mitchell is a republican. The Oregonian asks Mr. Mitch ell t defines publicly, his position - on the fitmncial question. The best repljf to this invitation are those words of Mr. Scott, when lie said speaking for Senator , Mitchell as well as for himselt "We agree upon the main ques tion." The Gazette Has no better method of discovering Mr. Mitchell's views than has the Oregonian, but is perfectly ' will ing to rely upon Mr. Scott's state ment. The Oregonian should desire no better authority. There are several reasons why Senator Mitchell should not rush with his views to a newspaper in order to answer the inquiry. In the first place the question pre supposes a doubt that does not really exist: Then a public de claration at this time would be construed to mean an undignified bid for votes. There are proper times for public men to mak public utterances, and apparent t frankness is often mere stupidity, A weaker, less intelligent man than Senator Mitchell would have paraded his views betore now and imagine himself a born dip lomat. Propriety, etiquette and wisdom would let the matter rest, publicly, in the common under standing-, that "we agree on the main question." Alsea Jottings. CREDIT CURRENCY. The McKinley administration can in no wiser way recogm ound-money democracy, than by adopting for its policy the follow ' ing portions of the Indianapolis platform: "But we denounce, also, the further maintenance of the pres ent costly patchwork system of national paper currency as a con. stant source of injury and peril We assert the necessity of such intelligent currency reform as wil confine the government to its legitimate functions, completely .separated fronLthe banking .busi ness. and afford to all sections of -our country a uniform safe and . elastic bank currency under gov--ernment supervision, measured in - volume by the needs of business. ' It is the supremest folly for the -government to invite assaults upon its credit by treasury raids. If those people who have so bit terly assailed President Cleveland for the issuance 01 bonds, had -directed their batteries against the perilous system that made the sale of the bonds an absolute nec- essity, it would have been much . more creditable to their sense of justice and their intelligence. We have cured ourselves of our foolishness " concerning the money question. Now is the best "---rftnetto begin to be sensible about money substitutes. The Times, after 10 days care-! ful reflection has milked the dic- tionery and replied to the Ga zette's charge against the Bry an s campaign methods. It as sails this paper in words of three syllables. "Hideous deformity ot unconscionable falsehood," "bumptious braggadocio," "pus illanimous," and other terrible looking words are hurled without remorse. Had one of them hap pened to explode three Examiner reporters could hardly have fully described the consequent wreck. The Times mentions several things which, it claims, Bryanits did not do; It rants of the God given right as freemen to exer cise the right of citizenship on all occassion," which is a fair sample of populistic buncomb. God:given sounds splendidly but it may furnish woman sufiregists with a grievance against the Deity, "The right to exercise the right of citizanship on all occasions" would just suit popu- ists..' In a poker game. pr;;at prayer meeting, at a wedding or a funeral, what could be more in spiring than a lot pops exercising the right of suffrage? The charges preferred against the Bryan leaders remain, rhow- 1 1 . ever, undented ana unde niable. The . misquotation from the - speeches of departed states men', the garbled versions of tor m er speeches ot living public; men, and the out and out iorger- ies circulated to bolster up the cause of ice& silver, cannot be forgotten". . The charges against the Bryan eaders are not an attack upon the people in general who voted for. Bryan. The deceivers and not the deceived gre to be blained. faith, We have more mud than and more water than either. Both the bridges on the north Alsea river have been considerably shaken by the late flood. The mountain has taken another slide and on its way a large part lias located" in our road to Philo math, thus putting a stop to the travel so far as wagons are concerned. We are told that the road will be reopened as soon as the storm is over. Our people are determin ed to have a road. ' We are very much alive, and will not be penned in like rats. We still have Sunday school, and preaching by our new parson, but the attendance fa very limited; not but what the new minister is undoubtedly a very excellent man, but the majority of the people tf Alsea were well pleased with the discarded parson, and are highly indignant over, the very, cowa-dly way in which he was discharged from the church. Of course, Par son .Longbol torn scolded his congre gation ' lor Sabbath breaking : and wrong-dping, in fact he trod on tender feet and it hurt; and we all know that the only bird in the flock that flutters is the one that has been hit.

It is a fact, strange, yet .nverr theless true, that the men who voted the populist-demeeratic-. free-silver-republican ticket and also those who .voted the national democratic 'ticket-at the late' elec tion, will find themselves unable to hold a convention to nominate candidates for the next general election and all their nominations will have to be by petition, the republicans being the only party . . 1 ... , l!.,. J a 1 tnat win oe enuueu iu maw nominations and have their nom inees duly certified to by the sec retary of state and placed upon the official ballot without the for mality of a petition. This seri ous predicament comes about by reason bf the laws ol Oregon which prescribe that a political party in order to have its nomi nees made in a convention recog nized and placed upon theffieial ballot, must " lrave polled- at the preceding election at least three per cent of the entiTe vote ' cast in the state, county, precinct or other electoral district fdr whjcli t the nomination is made. The returns of the last election show that the regular democrats polled less than three per cent of the vote cast, so they will be debarred from making their J next "nomina tions by convention. The popu-list-democratic-freesilver-republi- cans polled over the three per cent, but as free silver with a re publican annex will be a 'thing, of the past in the next election the populists, democrats and kicking republicans will not care to hold a convention and give their party the same name underwhich they voted this fall, and tthtessthey do they will be. debarred from having their nominees recognized by the secretary of state. It will be both distressing aud enibarress- mg tor these old political : war horses of many battles and many parties to be left without a party and have to begin life over again by forming a new party and mak ing their nominations by petition, Oregon City Enterprise. s ;" Mose Gregson moved to Toledo Monday to take charge of his saw mill at that place.

Argument. 3- ' If there is any reason why you should use any sarsaparilla, there is every reason why you should use Ayer's. When you take sarsaparilla you. take it to cure disease ; you want to be cured as quickly as possible and as cheaply as possible. That is why you should use Ayer's i it cures -quickly and cheaply -and it cures to stay.. Many people write us : I would sooner have one bottle ot - Ayer's ; Sarsaparilla . than three of any other kind." A druggist writes that . " one bottle of Ayer's will give more benefit than six of any other kind." If one bottle of Ayer's will do the work of three it must have the strength of three at the cost of one. There's the point in a nutshell. It pays every way to use Ayer's Sarsaparilla. 5- V 4- Your Order for Now Place To The Public: Another Smart Woman.' 5- Mt husband is poor but proud and .he does r not want me to work, aa I hare nothing to do I get rest less, and after reading in year paper Mrs. KusselTs experience selling aelMieating flatiroHs I concluded I would try It.
