How Lone I the Inland Empire to
at the Merer of AntacrataT
It is a sorrowful spectacle to witness
the wagons at tbe Cascades laboriously
and with much filowne'ss and ' trouble
transfer freight between the two boats,
when there is a portage road built by
the state lying idle. The boat company
will exhaust every means to continue
business and maintain cheap freight
rates before they are coerced by force of
circumstances to tie up. Their difficnl
ties at times appear insurmountable,
bnt they have so far risen to the occa
sion ana met every obstacle with a
heroism as pathetic as unostentatious
They have transferred such unwieldy
things as threshing machines, and other
cumbersome and weighty' machinery
It is shameful that tbe boat company
are prohibited tbe use of the portage,
which is in no sense in the way of tbe
contractors, and the use of which could
have , been obtained if the company
had assumed certain obligations and risks
which did not concern them. It would
seem as though the fate of the Inland
Empire, with its manifold and tremen
dous interests, is held in the palm of the
hand of two men, who are invested with
a power well nigh Godlike. In a man
ner we are shackled and bound, which
is a new and queer sensation for; an
American to endnre.bowever accustomed
the people of countries like Russia and
Spain have become to autocratic rule.
Tbe temper of the people may be trifled
with too long. There is a time when for
bearance ceases to be a virtue, when the
rightous wrath of along-abused populace
cries for redress and the disseverment of
the bands which restrain the exercise
of their just rights and liberties.
The campaign mav be said to be for-
nally opened for Wasco county by the
neeting last night of the McKinley club.
!t is unfortunate that every voter in The
DalleB and in tbe county could not have
been present and have heard the impres
sive SDeeches made bv members of the !
club and visitors. Among the latter
were Hon. W. R. Ellis, whose Republic
anism received the most thorough vin
dication by bia earnest and enthusiastic
words; Hon. M. P. Isenberg, whose
natural eloquence, great good senee, ir
resistible argument and apt illustrations
make converts of all who come within
the magic influence of hiB voice ; and
Mr. Hill, of Hood River, late of 'Kansas,
whose masterly handling ot the situation j
partook more of the talents of a scholar
than tbe gifted ability of the trained
oracor. Several local speakers there were
also who were listened to with even
more than tbe old-time interest, for
there was a sense of we-must-win-to-eave-tbe-nation
feeling, which" pervaded
the room and Sank heavily upon the
hearts and spirits of the citizen voters
who were present.
The meeting was called to order about
8 :30 o'clock by President F. W. Wilson.
He opened with a few remarks, etating
that "we bad gathered more as citizens
than as politicians to discuss the present
situation. In a time of peace the spec
tacle was presented of great trouble and
distress throngbout the land. So great
has been this distress that the very
thought that it might continue four
years longer is calcutated to appal the
stoutest heart. No community throug-
out tbe length and breadth of the land
suffers more keenly than ours, caused by
tbe stagnation of the wool market, due
to the Democratic tariff bill. This is a
campaign in which the business men
should take a prominent part, every citi
zen should be a politician, for npon the
turning of the coming election depends
prosperity of the wool grower, the far
mer and the merchant. To accomplish
this there is need ot urgent work to carry
Oregon for McKinley. There is a tre
mendous influence at work against him,
for the arguments of the beardless orator
from Nebraska are as pleasing as they
are false. We should at once organize a
county league of clubs, and make all
needed arrangements for the distribu
tion of literature, and for campaign
speakers. '
Mr. B. S. Huntington next arose to re
mark npon certain plans to pursue. He
had observed that at Baker City a can
vass was being made among the busi
ness men, looking to their expressions
of kindness and aid for the Republican
candidates, and thought a similar work
would be most efficacious in The Dalles,
He appreciated tbe necessity of a league,
and said that during the June election a
league would have been a good thing to
avoid conflicting dates of different
speakers.
Mr. M. T. Nolan was called for. He
rose slowly, and confessed to a feeling of
oppression. He regarded the situation
as serious bb it was in 1861, caused by
the magnitude of proportions the pres
ent craz has reached. "But what can
we do?" inquired the speaker, "we
can't get out and fight daiuphoohshness.
I believe something must be done, but I
am unable to prescribe a remedy. I
think, however, that tbe Democrats
generally will repudiate the platform,
but they will do so quietly. Tbey will
dislike to openly announce their sever
ance of party ties, bnt will Vbte their
sentiments at the ballot box."
Hon. John Micbell was the next
speaker. He believed there should be
some good missionary work done. There
should be a Republican club organized
in every precinct. Mr. Michell charged
that free silver was only a Democratic
dodge to attract attention away from the
disastrous effects of free trade. They
know they have no hope of winning by
tbe tariff issue and have hit upon
the most plausible thing tbey could de
vise to attract votes for themselves, a
scheme, be was sorry to Bay, in which
many Republicans have been drawn.
Mr. C. L. Phillips was the next j
speaker. "The main thing we need is
confidence," declared Mr. Phillips.!
The trouble is tbe laboring man is
without employment, and in this condi
tion he is much like a patient who is
ready to try any patent medicine that
comes along, in the hope that it will
give him relief. The enemy has ap
pealed to prejudice. We believe the
laboring man and bis employer should
be friends. One is dependent npon tbe
other. We must win the votes of these
men if we win, and win we must," con
cluded tbe speaker.
At this point Mr. M. P. Isenberg, of
Hood River, was observed in the rear of
tbe room and be responded to a general
call on the part of . those present. He
referred to a point under discussion a
few moments before as to whether Hood
River bad a Republican club, and said
it had once ; it was not very active now,
but it would be wonderfully active be
fore November. Mr. Isenberg's remarks
infused the assembly with courage. In
a hopeful etrain, and with rare grace of
language he charmed an audience that
