Gambling games in the city at present

Business in this line will probably de

of the "high i oilers" are strangers.
The big price of wheat will prove a
great blessing to this section of the

and it is yet arriving daily in tremen

The Goldendale Sentinel speaks very
highly of The Dalles speakers who went
over Into- that country, among 'them
Messrs. John Michell, Hugh Gourley,
H. 8. Wilson, F. W. Wilson- and J.
Sinnott. The Sentinel eays : The state
of Oregon is admittedly safe for McKin
ley. A thorough and" safe " canvass of
that;Btate shows that it has been taken
from the list of doubtful states, and will
give the Republican ticket from 6000 to
10,000 majority. It is only a question of
majorities in our sister state.
A trainload of lambs, 'comprising
4,000 head, were sent to Kansas City to
. day by Mr. Geo. A.' Young & Son. They
are the finest trainload of lambs ever
leaving The Dalles. They are but six
months old, but are full grown and fat.
Mr. Young and son sold them to A. J.
Knollin & Co', for $1.50 per head at the
ranch. They ' are half-breed Shrop
shires, demonstrating that it is tw ice as
profitable to raise blooded sheep in six
months for $1.50 than 2-year-old
weathers at the. same money. The
trainload is for the mutton market.
Mr. and Mrs. Sy-L. Brooks returned
last night from a tw weeks trip in Seat

great shipping center, and has already
captured the bulk of the Japan trade.
While there Mr. Brooks observed two
monster vessels, the Konura Mara and
the Yami Guchi Mara, loading, with
1,500,000 feet of lumber for nee on , Jap
an s new navy dock. Another large
vessel from Japan ts due this week,
loaded with 6,000 tons of tea. The dry
dock at Port Orchard is the third largest
in the world'. The 'Umatilla, a vessel
over 400 feet in length, was raised while
Mr. Brooks was absent. It was loaded
with a cargo of goods, all of which went
to the bottom. Smuggling on a large
scale was discovered by the accident.
Barrels ostensibly containing sugar con
tained small casks of ' whisky,' which
were billed to Juneau, and which by
being labeled sugar would escape the
customs duty. The sugar around the
casks- melted and they were ' easily

barrels. The pumps which were
used in raising the boat were mammoth
affairs, capable of pumping 10,000 gal

THE HON. T. T. GEER.
Hon. T. T. Geer is one of the most
pleasing speakers so far of the .entire
campaign. He is a gentlemen of the
old school of tnonght, has common sense
ideas, and has not departed from that
unvarying circle to fly off on a' tangent
of alarm, like so, many of his country
men when the Democratic hard times
came upon U8i and which we voted up
on ourselves in 1892. .He took occasion
to bring that fact out, too, quoting from
Boies of Iowa in a message to the legis
lature which was similar in tone to Har
rison's 1892 message to congress, recount
ing our unexampled prosperity.
With good-natured Tidicule Mr. Geer
scored the Populists by recounting some
of his own experiences with them. He
has ever found them unreasonable in ar
gument and tenacious of their opinions
even when demonstrated to be false.
Mr. Geer is a practical farmer himself
and does the entire work upon -his' 320
acre farm with only the Assistance of hia
son. He remembers when these Popu
list agitators first came to his section in
time of plenty. They bred discontent
among the well-to-do farmer .and the
well-paid wage earner by insidious ques
tions and envious comparisons, and with
their literature accomplish a reversal of
good times. " ' ,
Mr. Geer's speech was as -witty as
sensible, and when his audience was not
digesting great truths, stated in bis in
imitable way, they were laughing at his
wit. Some of bis witty statements are
rappended :
"There has been only one thing stated
by Bryan so far with which I can agree.
He said that when one Democrat leaves
the party to vote for McKinley he
leaves a hole big enough for ten Repub
licans to -get out. He is right; the bole
is big' enough, for those ten Republicans
should feel so confoundedly dwarfed that
the hole is really larger than they would
require.' - .
"A Populist actually told me the other
day that the raise in wheat was a Re
publican trick. I ' can always tell a
Populist. I can see a few in my audi
ence bow, and they have faces long
enough to eat oats out of a churn."
"The Populists say that their party
came into existence because of the hard
times. I think it is nearer the truth to
say the reason of the hard times is be
cause their party came into existence."
"Silver is mined only by the rich. .It
takes great capital to operate a Bilver
mine. But any poor man can bby a
shovel and pan and mine gold.' The
silver interest is a . very small one to
make so much fuss about. - There are' a
hundred ahead of it. E?en the hens of
the country lay more eggs than' the sil
ver amounts to, and the roosters don't
make much noise about it either."
"The Populists howl : 'The money is
in the hands of the rich.' Where under
heaven should it be but'ln the bands of
the rich! Does anyone suppose for a
moment it could be in the bands of the
poor? If I .found . a country where the
money was owned by the poor I would
at once emigrate to it and become rich."
. "They, hoot at the idea that' over-production
lowers prices, and when I asked
one what was the reason hops were t-o
high one year, he said: 'Ob, thre
were not many raised that year.' Who
ever heard of such unieasonableness -claiming
that under-production . raises
the price and yet not admitting that
over-production lowers it?"
. His-logic was as good as his wit. He
demonstrated to the simplest intelligence
that but a small amount of money is
needed to pay debts, for while the debt
is wiped out by the payment, the money
is just as good as ever to pay more debts
with. What we want is more ' confi
dence, so that the money will come from
its hiding and be invested in business.
In May 1806, President Jefferson or
dered that the minting of silver dollar be
dropped, and there was not another dol
lor coined for thirty years. If the act of
1873 was a crime, and I do not admit it,
it was restored in 1878, for since 'that
time there have been 430,000 times as
many silver dollars coined as during the
eight years under President Jackson.
Mr. Geer closed-with an earnest ap
peal to the voters not to make a mistake
and .vote for a continuation of the bard
times, illustrating the movement tow
ard Bryan by telling a story of a boy
trying to catch a calf, who in turn was
following alter a cow, the three being
separated at about equal intervals- The
cow kept going faster, which increased
both' the speed of the calf and the boy.
Finally the cow broke into a run, so did
the calf, but the boy sank down ex
hausted and cried in his exasperation :
"Run, you little fool, but when it comes
time to suck tonight, you'll find that
that cow isn't yonr mother."

Club, made a telling speech of intro
