Bryan in congress in 1893, in the extra session called to repeal the Sherman act. In the light o1 the events that have followed the words seem fraught with great wisdom: "Well has it been said by the Senator from Missouri Mr. Vest that we have come to the carting of the ways. Today the democra tic pnrty "tflrrls hotwpen two ereat forces,each inviting its .support. On the other side stand the corpor ate interests of the nation, its moneyed institutions, its aggrega tions of wealth and capital, im perious, arrogant, compassion less. They demand special legislation, favors, privileges, and immunities. They can subscribe magnificently to campaign funds, they can strike down opposition with their all-pervading influence, and to those who fawn and flatter, bring ease and plenty. They demand that the deniociatic party shall become their agent to execute their merciless decrees. "On the other hand stands that unnumbered throng which ga'e a name to the democratic party and for which it has assumed to speak. Work-worn and dust-begrimed, they make their sad appeal. They hear of average wealth increased on every side and feel the inequality of its distribution. They see an over-production of everything de sired because of the under-production of the ability to buy. Thev cannot pay for loyalty except with their suffrages, and can only punish betrayal with their condemnation. Although the ones who most de serve the fostering care of govern ment, their cries for help too often beat in vain against the outer wall, while others less deserving find ready access to legislative halls. "This army, vast and daily vaster growing, begs the party to be its champion in the present conflict. It cannot press its claims 'mid sounds of revelry. Its phalanxes do not form in grand parage, nor has it gaudy banners floating on the breeze. Its battle hyniu is "Home, Sweet Home," its war cry "equality before the law." To the democratic party, standing between these two irreconcilable forces, un certain to which side to turn, and conscious that upon its choice its fate depends, come the words of Israel's second lawgiver: "Choose you this day whom ye will serve." What will the answer be? Let me invoke the memory of him whose dust made sacred the soil of Monti- cello when he joined The dead but sceptered sovereigns who still rule Our spirits from their urns. "He was called a demagogue and his followers a mod, but the im mortal Jefferson dared to follow the best promptings of bis heart. He placed man above matter, humanity above propertyi and, spurning the bribes of wealth and power, pleaded the cause of the common people It was this devotion to their inter ests which made his party invincible while he lived and will make his name revered while history endures. And what message comes to us from the Hermitage? When a crisis like the present arose and the national bank of his day sought to control the politics of the nation, God raised up an Andrew Jackson, who had the courage to grapple with that great enemy, and by overthrowing it, he made himself the idol of the people and reinstated the democratic party in public con fidence. What will the decision be today? The democratic party has won the greatest success in its his tory. Standing upon this victory crowned summit, will it turn its face to the rising or the setting sun? Will it choose blessings or curs ings life or death which?" This Settles It. We find the following item among the political pointers in last Mon day's Oregonian: "Coll Van Clcvc. th: well-known newspaper man of Lincoln county, is in Portland. Of Lincoln county he gives good Teports. He says the sentiment is changing to Mc Kinley, as the people have time and opportunity to study the question at issue, and that Lincoln county will give a fine jepublican major ity." Well, that settles it, we suppose. If Santa Claus Van Cleve says that the county is to go for McKinley we don't suppose that there is any use to try to do anything further for Bryan. Just as well call off all the speakers and save expenses. We almost wish that Van had not settled it so soon, though, as the excitement of the campaign was really beneficial to some. But we suppose Van knows best just what to do. By the way, we defy him to give the name of one actual votei in Lincoln county that has changed from Bryan to McKinley. D. Eddy, of Woodburn, an old veteran Grand Army man and a pensioner, was for years a republi can in politics, but this year is a supporter of Bryan through princi ple. He recently received a letter through the postoffice, wiitten in the regulation red ink, warning him that if he did not keep his mouth shut about Bryan he .would lose his pensiun. Whoever the poor miserable wretch was that penned the letter, he made a sad mistake in his man. Mr. Eddy was not at all frightened by the threat, but gave the letter to Capt. D. C. Sherman, of Salem, another old republican who is supporting Bryan, and is still talking for the young silver champion. The inci dent has caused considerable ex citement at Woodburn, and a re ward of $75 is offered for any evidence leading to the disclosure of the identity of the miscreant who wrote the letter. The commission appointed by the secretary of the navy to test a teredo proof paint, invented by a painter, at the Pensacola navy yard concluded its labors recently. On March 16, four pieces of solid heart pine wood were sunk at the navy yard. One piece was unpainted and the others bad one, two and three coats of the teredo proof paint, respectively. Last week the three members of the commission assem bled and had the four pieces of wood raised. The piece that was not painted was literally honey combed by the teredo, and fell in pieces. The other three pieces were not touched by the insects, and were perfectly dry on the inte rior. The commission considers the invention a perfect success, and onj that will be of vast interest to government and ship-owners. All of our republican exchanges are now sending out campaign sup plements with their paper each week. The supplements are filled with gold arguments and are fur nished free by the state central committee. This is the way by which they hope to leach the voter. 1,4 01 l!501?'i S C.'or th.li f1. prl onw
