I do not personally consider It a commercial panic but merely regard It as a financial flurry that has passed over. But If tho Democrats want to call it a panic, let us compare a Republican panic with a Democratic panic. In 1893, dur ing the last Democratic administra tion, we had a Democratic panic. All of you know about the experiences of 1893, 1895 and part of 1896. Men were out of work, prices were low and the country was in a bad way generally. Just as soon as McKlnley and a Republican congress were elected, times began to improve and continued until the high water mark of prosperity was reached sometime ago. Compare the conditions of 1893 and the few years following with the present year and 1907, when the Democrats say we had a Republican panic! "Another point on which the two parties differ is tho monetary ques tion. I contend that we have the best banking system the world has ever known. But for sake of com parison, we will go back to the last time the Democrats tried to revise our financial system. It was in Bu chanan's administration In 1857. The value of money was always In doubt. It was a question when a man was paid as to whether the money he re ceived would be worth anything by the time he reached home. For in stance under It, a man paid out here in the logging camp in currency that was good when he received would find when he reached town that it was worthless. As to financial con ditions today, you know that Ameri can money is good everywhere, so good that an American dollar will buy two Mexican dollars. "Another point, the parties differ on is the bank deposit guarantee and the postal savings bank. The Demo crats insist on a bank deposit guar-' antee. This Is generally recognized as a menace to the conservative banker In favor of the speculative banker, making the conservative institutions responsible for the wrong doings of the other class In the bank business. The postal sav ings bank which the Republican party advocates and will probably be adopted eliminates this discrimin ation against the conservative bank ers. It provides that the government will accept deposits and pay two per cent Interest on them. The govern ment is behind every deposit so there can be no loss. The purpose of the postal savings bank Is to provide a means of preventing people hiding their money during financial flur ries, withdrawing their deposits In coin or currency and burying it. With the government guaranteeing It In the postal savings bank, In stead of hiding It when they might withdraw it from tho regular bank ing institutions for any reason or other, they would place It in the postal savings bank. "Some criticism of Judge Taft has been offered on account of his alleg ed unfriendliness to labor. Judge Taft is a friend of labor. He wants to give every man a fair show wheth er he Is capitalist or laborer. It is true that while on the bench he Is sued a few Injunctions, but every judge who has ever been on tho bench has had to Issue injunctions. Another thing for the laboring men to consider along this line is the policy of the Republican and Demo cratic parties towards labor. The Republican party has ndopted the child labor law, the employers' lia bility law, the law compelling rail roads to install safety appliances, etc. Then take it by states. For every law favorablo to labor that tho Democratic party has placed on tho statutes that can be shown me, I will show you two that Republicans have adopted. Tho northern states which aio generally Republican have many laws favorablo to labor but tho southern states where the Demo cratic party is in power have prac tically none. "Some criticism has been offered of tho Republican party for tho largo appropriations made by tho last con gress. It has been called a billion dollar congress, but I want to toll you we have a billion dollar country and I think we are all proud of it. Tho country Is growlug nud so must its expenses. Tho movement to se cure an annual appropriation of $50, 000,000 for our waterways and har bors is ono in which I am greatly In favor. It will enablo the develop ment of tho Inland streams and the improvement of tho harbors Ilka Coos Bay. "A greater navy Is also a need of tho country. I am on that commit tee and I voted for four battleships, but we only secured two. Battle ships cost lots of money but I am in favoring of Increasing the navy so that we can have a navy on the Pncl fic coast as well as on the Atlantic coast. "The Democrats also charge the Republicans with being in league with the trusts and corporations. An examination of the records will show you that the only trust prosecutions have been made by Republican ad ministration, yet the Democrats did not attempt to enforce them. Tho Republican party does not believe In working any hardships on the cor porations and favors giving them equal rights and privileges with others but no special privileges. The corporations, especially the railroads, are doing great work in developing the country and are entitled to the same protection as is accorded any citizen." During his entire talk, Judge Ellis did not mention the name of Presi dent Roosevelt or refer to the Rdose velt administration. In the course of his remarks, Judge Ellis paid a great tribute to Coos Bay. He said that he had found the country's possibilities even greater than he had been lead to be lieve they were by the reports he had heard of It. Tonight, Judge Ellis will speak at North Bend, Wednesday night at Myrtle Point, Thursday night at Co qullle and Friday night at Bandon. He will return to Pendleton Satur day. During last night's program, the Acme band rendered several fine selections and were roundly applaud ed. The Crescent quartette composed of Messrs. Travers, Dodge, Sumner and Doll sang a number of campaign songs and were eqcored several times. In closing, the audience, lead by C. J. Mlllls, united in singing "America." BANDON CLUB IS ACTIVE.
