An Address by Hon. Jeff. Myers
Salem, Ore., May 18, 1896.
To the Public:
I have received many letters
since my congressional nomination
as to my position on the political
questions of the present day. My
impression is, that the first and
paramount question to be con
sidered is the "financial question,"
and 1 believe there snould be no
doubt expressed to the voters on
this; 110 "straddle," but an abso
lute position on one side or the
other.
When a majority of the voters
believe in certain views, they are
certainly entitled to a representa
tive to express their views in the
representative part of the govern'
ment.
First. On the "financial ques
Hon" I am in favor of the free and
unlimited coinage of gold or silver,
independent of any foreign power
into standard money, at the ratio
of 16 to 1, and upon terms of exact
equality, as they existed prior to
1873. The silver to be a full legal
tender, equal with gold for all
debts and dues public and private,
and I am opposed to any discrirai
nation by the government against
either gold, silver or currency of
the country, and that all monev
shall be equal at all times.
Second. I believe that the
"tariff question" should be con
sidered as a business proposition,
and as we deal with it locally in
every day lite, and there is no
question but that we receive a
benefit by the proper kind of
tariff, outside of the government
tax, but there certainly should at
all times be conditions that will
protect the producer to the fullest
extent, as it does the manufacturer
and business man, and this is the
kind of tariff I want. Equality to
all. Discrimination to none.
Third. That it is important that
the best and most economical trans
portation be had for the producer
to the matket is beyond dispute.
Nothing will afford this better than
"God's water ways" for free
transportation. Every harbor that
will admit of a benefit should be
improved, and especially should
the completion of Coos, Siuslaw,
Yaquina and Tillamook Bays not
be delayed longer for the growing
commerce of Western Oregon.
Coos Bay gives to the trade of
Southern Oregon, competition and
a market for their fruit, timber and
coal, the quality of the fruit and
coal cannot be excelled in the state,
and why should it be subjected to
transportation rates at present, de
stroying the value of production.
Siuslaw will add thousands of
dollars to our wealth by the valuable
timber that is compelled to seek a
market at this bay, and create a
vast field for investment, and work
for the laborer in the timbered
Number 12.
forests.
Yaquina, already connected by
rail with the timber belt of the
Cascade mountains and the Wil
lamette Valley, has made a market
that has returned to the farmer
millions of dollars. At all times
markets have been better, and
producers have secured a price in
advance of other markets on account
of these government aids. This is
certainly a test of what improve
ments will bring.
The Willamette river must be
improved from the city of Portland
to the head of navigation at Eugene,
with free lockage at Oregon City
sufficient to maintain boats during
the entire year. There is at all
times water enough if properly
managed to justify this course by
the government. No estimate
could be made of the loss already
sustained to the producer ami
business interests of the Willamette
valley by this delay for the past
25 years, and I might ask why so
important a waterway is neglected?
Fourth. I am opposed to con
tinual changes in the legislation of
our country, and I am of the
opinion that we have more legisla
tion than is necessary for prosperity
and successful business.
Fifth. I am opposed to the
"funding bill" of the Central Pa
cific railroad.
Sixth. There is no doubt that
all public salaries are in excess of
all other prices, and they, therefore,
should be reduced without delay,
to better a growing evil on all
systems of government.
Voters consider you, our situa
tion, the creditor will continue to
knock at your door until something
of a permanent relief can reach your
labor. Who of you have any as
surance that profits can come to
you until legislation is for your
interests. Stop and meditate upon
these important questions.
The foregoing statement is my
personal views on these the leading
questions of the present campaign.
I regret that I cannot meet you
personally, and take this method
of presenting my views to you.
Jefferson Myers.
Now are any of the boomers of
West Yaquina bold enough to stand
up and say that there is no attempt
to corrupt the people in the interest
of that place by the use of money?
The events of the past week have
been too plain; too glaring.
Money is being put out to debauch
an election. Men without principle
are putting it wherever they think
they can influence a man, and they
have gone so far as to import the
most notorious election boodler that
ever disgraced the politics of the
state. It is a shame; an outrage;
a scandal. But the people will
rebuke it at the polls. It will take
more than one Sol King to carry
the county seat over to the boom
towu lots at West Yaquina.
The Populists have been crowd
ing the campaign in this county
in the way of speakers. Last week
Hon. Harry Watkins, of McMinn
ville, stumped the county in the '
interest of populism, and this week
Hon. Thos. Burkhart, of Indiana,
has been pouring floods of oratory
upon us. Both gentlemen were
fluent speakers, and evidently old
campaigners.
Keep it fairly before the people
Boodle boom town lots and high
taxes means West Yaquina; home
people and low taxes means Toledo.
