Nolwilhstandiiig linit 1' S Senator Ben Tillman of South Carolina has only liecu advertised since yesterday morning to speak in this city this alterniNin, the man of pitchfork fame was listened to by a big audience in an kmi air meeting in the court house yard. People came from far and near to hear w hat this man of national reputation would say to them. Senator Tillman arrived on the 2 o'clock train front Salem. He was met at the depot by a delegation of proiuii.tut democrats aud drove iui- j uiciliali-ly to the speaker's stand in : the court h nise ysrd, where a large tiwM'iublage of people awaited him. Fully 20W) people must have witnessed jtlic speaking. S-ats wein arranged all around the sH-aker platform and I hundreds had to staud. Tlie uirctiiig lor enthusiasm, kllehilailce and close aticuliou lias not Ucll excelled this campHign. The speaki r was often loudly cheered during his scech. S'liator Tilluiau was InlriKlinvd by Chairman Doriisof the Kni;eiie Hryaii cluh nil -1st tin oiittneak of applause. Alter liienlioning his trip across the comment aud paying a tribute to our valley aud state he launched at once upon the money ipiirtion, touching a few times only on the tarilf question. He declared h!mclf lu favor of the free und unlimited coinage of silver at the ratio of M tol. He tielieved in America for all Aineiicsi s aud did nt belli ve in or approve of money powers of England and their servant in Wall street dictating to the I'nitcd States on our financial system or any other Issue. He scored' the pre-cut democratic administration for failing to act when it lul l the power for the liiM lime since the war to accomplish whal It might iindeilake. The demo cratic pally of today Is Uirni'fa new determination, uflcr the tviic of Jack onian democracy, and under the leadership of Bryan, lhe llrst candi dale nominated outside of tlie ring Influence of New lork since the war, will accomplish w hat Cleveland has failed to do lu his adiuinistiatlou. At the close of his address the speaker culled for a vole by those pres. ent. Of course the vote was almost unanimous for Bryan. Three cheers each were islvcu for W J Bryan and Senator Tillman, after which the audience disn-rsed. Owing to tlie bad condition in which his voice now Is from eon tin-u-,1 shaking, Senator Tillman will not speak tonight. Junction ( Ity Items. From the Thins. Oct 17. Married, Sunday.

At its regular meeting lat Weinlcs day evening the Young Men's Chris tian Association of the university passed an amendment to its constitu tion providing for the appointment of a committee oil association buildiutf. 1'h ih Atlvance stcii has Ikvii contciu- plattil by the at-sociation for some time past. The work has grown o during tho last two years that the as fHH'ialioti is now badly crippled bv a lack of fuel I it iu in the way of mateiiiil equipment. i hero are no in-rnianchl association rooms at alt available in tlie the uni versity buildings. The weekly devo tional meeting are held lu a dusty class room, and the ten committees and four or live study classes aie coniielled to meet wherever a place uiav present itseil. liven t he room which Is soon to be furnished will, on account of its small ness, bo suitable for but a part of tlie association s meetings ami purposes. During the most Important work of the fall no suitable room that may serve as headipiarters where all ell'orts to assist the new students may center, is obtainable. Ei-en throughout lhe year one scarcely kno.vs where to find the association for it has no home, I'.vcn more may bt said of the needs of the Young Women's Association which is deprived of all the conveniences of a Hurting place except the place it self. A building would give each associa tion a home. It would allow al least a fully organized work. What the building w ill do for the university uiavi Isi sugvsted in u few lines, it will give Christian work among the students greater promi nence. The building will Is-n con tinual reminder to each student of the chums of the association upon him. It will promote the permanauee nf or ganized Christian work iiiiioiik the students. An association in college, wheie lhe population shifts so rapidly, will have a chaligtanic me today strong, tomorrow weak, until It has a building. The buihiing will make lhe a-s c'atioii more popular. This is the united tis'.nnoiiy of all associations that have creeled buildings. It will give tlie iissiiclatioli dignity in tlie minds i f all. It will be a mighty hictor in unifying the Christian lorces ol the university. It will broaden the scope of association work. A name loom and a reading room W illi bbrarv can become one of the association nm-ncei. A true social work can then lie carried on. The association building will be the social remlcvi.us of tho student where he may puss many a pleasant hour with out the destructive Iniiueneo ol a down town cigar store. Above all it will give the students u home w ith all ihut that Implies to a .... . . voii'ic man away irom iiome. n nui upply as iiotninit eiso. can supply lhe faciliti.s for billldli l' up young men and young women Into lives well- rounded uud stroiiii. I he mosi nil norlunt class lu the iMiPUlatloii of an. v stale Is tlie fludent class, especially the voiiiil? men. If ever tho pressing so i-ial, political ami economic problems or todav are lo no soiveu, it w in ue ai the hands of college men. 1 hey arc to be the leaders of the future. Of tho greatest importance it Is, then, that they bo true, lurge-liearted, complete men. u ih no nart weak but syminei rieal in nil their belnir, Imily, soul and mind. To turn mil Mich men Is the object of tho Young Men's Christian Association. All uswiciiuion uiuming Is the nearest approach tusnfe insur auce of a state's most priceless mjs m-khIiiii her vouuz men. The usual features comprised lu the boil, line are us follows: One or nioto i.iirlnrs: a roadinif room and library; every association should have a choice and growing collection of bonk, on the Bible, missions, t. nristian uiograpny, tbe spiritual life, etc; a lecture room liirim enotlirh to hold all thb students a smaller hall for ordinary meetings; several small riHims for study classes aud committee meetings and other de partments of work; a coat and toilet room; If advisable, a gymnasium with hath rooms; a pantry nnd kitchen convenient to llio ro.mi where ro fn aliment may be served; perhaps also rooms w here under certain limi tations the other student ntcatiiztitions could meet arid curry on their work. Of the twenty-live and more college associations that now have building", eight had fur less studcuts in attend ance when the building was secured iliiiii bus tho University of Oregon at present. Inmost cases buildings are largely the results of single Ulfls. Men ofiuiuns have seen the great luipor- lulicn of I, lie UK Clirihlia'l WOIK among tho student centers oil tho best (tnhtilltttl busts. Ill lhe University of Oregon exists a similar need. To meet It tlie building committee will be appointed. It wilt consist of one inemiier irom the board of regents, one Troiii the fac ulty, the president of the aisociutloii ..nii.io i, nr member of the alumni, and one from the student membership of the association. The committee when uppoiinen shall conduct the canvass for building funds and shall have entire charge of the building movement. The day is not far distant when an other beautiful building will adorn the campus of tho unlveislly, standing as a center of the uplifting Influence of indent life, and becoming the chief factor In turning out men of broad and well-balanced development.

Tho news lias been cabled to thii country, iiml the McKinley press hm made tho most of it, citing th fact of tho il.-o i.i tho price of wheat and tho fall in the price of silver, drawing attention to tho statement of the frcocoitingo advocates that the full or riso in tho prico of bil ver ami wheal went together, with the hoiica of lessening the point of this claim. Now comes a cable from London, ami from no other source thnn that f Sir Robert F.dgccotub, the bank er, Liberal and bimeiiuisi, who, in book Boon to bo issued, gives the following information which is of leaded interest to wheat growers: "Tho recent aJvaucc in the price of wheat is duo to tho riso in the gold value of tho paper dollar in Buenos Ayres. heat, unlike oth er commodities, has been subject to double fall in the price in recent years, one fall caused by tho oltcr- I value ot silver, as measured Dy gold, the other fall in value pro ceeding from still greater rrpre ciation of tho Argentine paper dol lar as measured by gold. "From 1885 to lS'.K) wheat sold for about one dollar a bushel, and had reached tho limit of its fall., fo far as silver could atlccl it. Then . . i it I I .. I camo tho Baring collapse, which disorganized Argentine li nances and rent their pai-or dollar down to 23 cents, gold. If tho Argentine paper dollar had only fallen to oU cents, gold, it would liavo been upon a par with tho Indian rupee, as measured by gold, and would not have been o fleeted. But tho fall to 25 cents, gold. further depreciated the price of wheat, which till to 03 cents per bushel. This enabled tho Argen tine Republic to cut into tho In dian wheat trado at lower prices. "In 1S'J2 India exported 50,000,- 000 bushels of wheat, and tho Ar gentine Uepublio exported 18,000, 000 bushels. In ISO I, owing to tho depreciated Argontino tmpor dollar, the two countries had re versed their jMirtion, India export ing only 13,000,000, while, the Ar gentine Republic exported 50,000, 000. "Tho gradual fall m tho prem ium on gold at Buenos Ayres must riso tho value of wheat, and this riso will continuo until the prem ium on tho paper dollar falls to 100, when it will stop. Alter that noint is reached tho price of wheat can rise no further, until there Is a rise in tho gold valuo of silver. "Wheat and wool aro the only commodities of importance affected by tho second fall in values, arris ing from tho depreciation of tho Argontino paper dollar. Tho readers of tho ui'Aitn win certiinly bo gratified to huvo tho fact from bo reliable an authority as this noted Englishman that both tho prico of wheat and wool win riso with tho rise of silver, duo to tho adoption o! free coinage in tho United .states. Mil IIKYAVS CANDIDACY. It has been clean. It has boon for truth, right, jue tice and principle It has been aggressively lor mo people and of the people Mr Bryan has been outspoken in championing his convictions and tho platiorm ho stands upon. Mr Bryan lias not appcaicu vj wealth, secret societies or religious denominations. Mr Bryan is tho American candi date. Hia platform docs not con tain an un-American word or idea. Mr Bryon is tho candidate of the laborer and the pro lucer. lie is not tho candiduto of tho million aires. Mr Bryan is supportodby all the labor organizations of the United States. A candidate who is op posed by all tho organized labor 01 tho United States must bo the can didate of the oristocracy of our country. Mr Bryan is not that man. The Orcgonian colls the Guakii nonulist naDcr. That organ of tho aggregated wealth of America is of the opinion than any paper supporins the cause of the farmers and laborers is populistio or on archistio. If ever a nowspaper was a traitor to tho running ele ment it is the Oregonion. It de lights in calling their wives and daughters "country bred," them selves "anarchists and hayseeds," and supportsevery law againsttheir interests, lhe uregonian iicipcu repeal the inortgago tax law and caused to be placed on tho statutes the law taxing indebtedness. Tho S. P. H. R. has revised tho tariff on wheat thereby robbing the farm ers. Will tho 'Oregonian object? It is fighting Win. J. Bryan today because he cannot bo controlled by Wall street. With the Orcgonian it is: "Tho farmer be d d." If Harvey Scott knows so much about financo why is his property hopelessly mortgaged?
