THE XEV CtlillEXCY LAAW
THB Philadelphia' North Amerl-
- can is. a very able Independent
I Republican newspaper. It can
. see the truth or falsity in any
proposition about as clearly as any
newspaper in the country, and it al
ways dares to tell what it believes
to be the truth. Hence some of its
comments on the new currency law,
that is to be pointed to with pride at
Chicago, are worth Quoting. The
North American says:
""It seemed impossible for con
gress to perpetrate anything more
tofamous that the Aldrich-Vreeland
bill. Yet; cod gress reached that high
pinnacle of error in sanctioning the
composition of the currency commis
sion by Cannon and Fairbanks.", ;
After characterizing the law as "a
legislative monstrosity , that Is the
worst political blunder in the history
of the Republican party," the North
American Quotes from the language
of experts published in the Congres
sional Record who said' that the law
was "written in Wall street"; was
''6 0 per cent senate Infamy and 6 0
per cent house infamy"; was a law
that would . place every small com
mercial bank in the country at the
mercy of the few so-called "financial
banks" hence, a sort of financial
trust. vt'.v;' ':-'", ";
The North American declares that'
the amended Aldrlch bill "was far
less vicious than the pernicious cheat
thAtfhas become the law," and quotes
ex-Secretary., of the Treasury Lyman
3! Qage as describing it as "a nar
cotic, to woo the country into false
reposefrom which. we shall awaken
at last la trouble and real agony." j
This measure for pretended gen- j
cral relief, says the North Ameri
can, cannot be used in the slightest
degree by any one of seventeen
states. It was Intended to allow
Wall street to cast its "cats and
dogs" into the national treasury, and
by a Juggling of redemption dodge
all taxation and. trade cheap money
for legal tender redeemable In gold.
The law is , "an . infamous device,
each day's examination of which un
earths' a new nest of snakes, whose
fangs, sooner or later, will strike
poison into every branch of legitl
mate banking, commerce and indus
try for the j fattening of the Wall
street blood-auckers."
The law sets but one limitation or
check upon the acceptance of securi
ties, the approval of the secretary of
the treasury, and as Senator Bacon
cald, "we all know it la a historical
fact -that the : secretaries . of . the
treasury are, as a general rule, trans
: f erred from; the portfolio of ; the
treasury to some highly lucrative
position in, New York, given to them
by the favor of Wall street. And
the startling monstrosity of the pro
vision is found in Che fact that the
very officer who is to pass upon the
question of the sufficiency of the se
curities Is the officer who. Judging
the future by the past. Is to look for
rewards and emoluments to the very
parties Interested in having him ap
prove the securities." ' , '::
But a "more heinous crime" was
perpetrated in the appointment of
the commission "Aldrlch, agent oH
Rockefeller; Allison, a fossil buried
In antique Ideas; Burrows, enemy of
all reforms;. Hale, the mournful
-hater of anything west of New Eng
land; Teller, rabid opponent of com
mercial paper as a basiB for anyj
money i-sue; Bailey, big brained but
, over .whose career the trail of the
Standard Oil serpent lies
Of the . house members, Vreeland,
Overstreet, and Weeks are described
as "subservient tools of the interests
that epeak through Aldrlch"; Bur
gess, Smith. Bonynge and Pujo as
"echoes, nullities," leaving two good
members, Burton and Padgett, "put
on by . mistake." "The commission
has been established solely for the
purpose of sidetracking, delay and
deceit." The appointment of . the
majority of these men was "an in
sult unparalleled in parliamentary
cncalj." And the reason of all this
1? that the commission is. Intended
rot to accomplish but to prevent re
form. Already it is announced that
the commission will take three or
fcur years tor investigation in this
country and la Europestudying
fr.snco doubtless at Monte Carlo.

are they likely to disagree.
And what are those "fundamen
tal" and "basic" ' principles that we
hear so much about? And how do
they apply, how are they to be ap
plied, to present problems and ques
tions and proposed measures in
which the people are Just now In
terested? .The Journal has asked
these questions repeatedly, and no
body responds, except to repeat
'basic principles," like a parrot.. A
phrase is often used to shield a great
amount of deception and fraud. Let
as know Just how those celebrated
"principles" are going to operate
in Roosevelt's way or Cannon's way,
in Elklns' way or La Follette's way?
Is a man like Ellis loaded down with
all the precious and worthy political
"principles" of the country, while a
man like Chamberlain has none of
them whatever? And what do "prin
ciples" amount to if the people can
get no right service from those who
profess them? We confess to a
weariness at the constant reiteration
of this meaningless term "princi
ples." . ',
The Examiner ;goes on to say: "It
is probable that , Mr. Chamberlain
would side with Mr. Roosevelt in
his fight against certain; ; national
evils; he might side 'with him, or
with his successor, against corpo
rate aggression; against the" en
croachment of monopolies, against
the despotism of commercial com
binations, but these are not basic
political questions."
Oh, these are not "basic." They
have nothing to do, then, with the
principles," nor the "principles"
with them. It seems that whenever
the people are to be deluded and
plundered, the "principles" drop out
of sight What iB more "basic" in
a democracy than "Equal rights to
all and special privileges to none"?
Jefferson was called a Republican
when he enunciated that, and - it
ought to be good Republican as well
as good Democratic doctrine . yet.
Chamberlain, the point seems to be,
will act on the, right side or an
questions, and In the people's Inter
est, but,thls counts for nothing be
cause he is not sound - on some
shadowy, : undefined ."baste-: princi
ples." which are; what nobodjr can

. Now, it is reported that Cdrtelyon
is. administration's candidate for

ably get the nomination, as the ad

trol of the convention. Whether it
would make much difference in the
votes or not, millions ' of ' people
throughout the country would take
Cortelyou's nomination to be a con
cession, even in a measure a surren
der, to "Wall street " with whom
Cortelyou is an even greater" favor

.The. platform adopted by the Dem
ocratic convention of Oregon has at
least the merit of comparative brev
ity. It touches only upon a very
few matters, and leaves a great deal
unsaid, which is perhaps better than
to have attempted to say all that
might have seemed proper. Oregon's

there is no need of any platforms.

Republicans must learn to ohaerva

of the masses.' It will not do to dream

achievement. We must respond to tho
reasonable and intelligent demands of
the present. We must avofd subter
fuge and fulfill the Dromlses of the
past For over 20 years we have pledged
in party in xavor , or the policy of
popular election of senators and now
that Oregon has a lawful way of accomplishing-
that result- let us work :.o
liv up to It fairly and faithfully. It

Portland, June t. To th Editor of
Trie journal as a ure-iong Kepuoncau
I desire to contribute a few after-eleo-tion
reflections on the politics of Ore
gon. ..;.;--... '-" "' -.
My first vot ! was cast for U. B.
Grant and for every Republican presi
dent since, so I cannot be accused of
having a : vacillating political , eon
Sjcience. y . . -V-; .
I believe In th fundamental prin
ciple of th Republican party. But
what about the politic of our Oregon?
In the first place I am not at all sur
prised that we - ar somewhat lama,
when w remember that through , the
corruption of our legislature, and the
manipulation of political tricksters In
political conventions, a type of men
were foisted upon us, so that at one
time we were afraid - our entire con
gressional , delegation"- would ' ' give a
unanimous vote from th inside of the
penitentiary. . .,
Senator Fulton confessed in his opon
letters In-reply to Henev's attack thai
large sums of money had been used
In th Mitchell and Dolph and again
In ' th Mitchell : and Corbett contro
versies, ' but was glad that conditions
were now auch that th incentive for
using a corruption fund was obviated.
- In other words that the neopl named '
the' senators and ther remained nothing-
for th legislature to do but ratify
their choice. Pleas not tha senator's
pro-election opinion in contrast with
his .after election advice to the nun
who made a solemn compaot with the
Eeople to support Statement - No. f .
ouid perfidy be more bare faced than
that? Row does the senator expect that
an honorable constituency will view
such a suggestion? As a Republican I
ay that tna author of such a senti
ment - should be consigned to - eternal
Oblivion. :-'-, v.'.:.-r.,., -
, What w want, gentlemen, is a little
down-right, common honesty in state
ment and action. ' That will do more
at the present time to rehabilitate th
Republican party In Oregon than any-
ner else mat can ne aone.

Our honored Judg Williams at the

asked who Harriman and Rockefeller

ON THE OREGON

The Legislature's Duty.
From the Davton ODtlmlst.
Senator Fulton la out with the tro-
phecy that a Republican legislature will
not- send a Democrat to the senate, and
there are a large number of persons who
think the same way. This should not be
allowed to occur, while we should have
preferred the election of Mr. Cake, we
still hold to he opinion tHat the choice
or tne people anq not or tne party, musi
be respected. The voters of this atate
and he should be chosen by the nent
legislature without a disseritrhg voice.
It is then up to him to make good, and
if he fails to do this we may rest as-
sured that the people who elected htm

and not as a party, and as the next leg-

senate they will undoubtedly "flop" Into
