World 2 00 MONDAY - - MARCH 7, 1S9S TIIE COMING STRUGGLE. The coming jiolitic.il campaign will he the most exciting ever held m Oregon. A great issue is nt stake to determine whether the gov ernment of Oregon shall be placed in the hands of a party representing all the vagaries summed up in the words free silver and foolishness. It is a question of sound money, stable com mercial conditions, advancement and prosperity, against Populism, uncer tainty, experiment and business ret rogression. From the close of the war dovrn to President Cleveland's famous free trade message of 1887, it may be said that there was no real issue di Tiding the great political parties. The Republican and Democratic con ventions were held at regular inter vals and platforms adopted which could mean almost anything. It was the great boast of the Republican part that il represented the patriot ism of the nation in the days of the rebellion, and the chief expressions of the Democratic organizations were directed against the Republicans be cause the' had been so long in power. And upon such equivocal platforms these great parties went before the country. It is true that the tariff has always been more or less an issue, but on many points the divergence was more fanciful than real. Four years of Democratic administration, however, settled the tariff question fully and finally, and the country thoroughly was committed to the doctrineglf a moderate tariff for the protection of home industries. It was hoped also that the money question was definitely settled by the election of 1890 and so it was in the minds of clear-thinking citizens, liut the professional politicians, the dissatisfied place-hunters and agita tors), to whom the dearest occupa tion is fomenting trouble, -seek to revivify a dead issue and make free silver a rallying cry of all those who are "agin' the government." AVe do not believe that the great majority of those who supported Mr. Bryan in '9C are desirous of seeing the country plunged in the sea of agitation, as il was then; but the leaders do, and they are using every argument pos sible to bring the mosses in line. By reason of being the first state to hold an election, Oregon is naturally chosen for the battle-ground of the opposing forces. The duty of citizenship was never more plain nor urgent than it is to day. It is useless to argue the gold or silver standard over again in all its details. Those who have eais and will not hear do not want to be convinced. There is but one thing that need be done, and that is for the adherents and believers in a sound monetary system to make an other effort arid make impossible the imputation tiiat Oregon could ever be carried for free silver, Jong as the conditions exist as they do to. day. It is very difficult to gain any ac curate information with regard to the situation orAhe Trans-Siberian RaiJ way. It is announced now, how ever, that the imperial railway com missioner, Hilkoff, has made a long report on the matter to the czar. He says that the road will bo open throughout its entire length next summer, and that the time from St. Petersburg to Vladivostock will be ten days. American rolling stock and locomotives will bo largely em ployed. An interesting calculation has been made of the actual running time of the various railway and steamship lines east and west around the world by this route, and il is stat ed that under ordinary circumstances the circle may be made in !W days, the itinerary being as follows: St. Pe tersburg to Yladivostock, ten days; Vladivostock to San I-rancisco, ten days; San Francisco to New York, four and a half days; New York to Bremen, seven days; Bremen to St. Petersburg, one and a half days. By engaging special trains and secur ing the fastest steamers, this time, it is said, ma be reduced to twenty eight days, with an allowance of seven hours for delays. It was the consensus of opinion of those who attended the wool conven tion that The Dalles is going to have the best business season this spring in Us history. All indications bear out the statement that money will be plenteous in every line of trade. Is not this the time to provide for the permanent prosperity of our city by inducing foreign capital to invest in manufacturing enterprises: goal is well worth the trial. The DANGER IN SODA. Serious ISesul's Sometimes Follow Its Excessive Use. Common soda is all right in its place mid indispensable in tiie kitchen and for cooking and washing purposes, but it was never intended for a medicine, and people who use it as such will some day regret it. We refer to the common use of soda to relieve heartburn or sour stomach, a habit which thousands of people practice almost daily, and one which is fraught with danger; moieover the soda only gives temporary relief and in the end the stomach trouble continues to get worse and worse. The sod acts as a mechanical irritant to the walls of the stomach and bowels and cases are on record where it accumulated in the intestines, canamg death by intlaraation or peritonitis. Dr. Harlandson recommends as the safest and surest cure for sour stomach acid dyspepsia, an excellent prepara tion sold by druggists under the name of Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets. These tab lets are large twenty-grain lozenges, very pleasant to taste and contains the natural acids, peptones and digestive elements essential to good digestion, and when taken after meals they digest the food perfectly and promptly before it has time to ferment, and sour and poison the blood and nervous system. Dr. Wuerth states that he invariably uses Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets in all cases of stomach derangements and finds them a certain cure not only for sour stomach, but by promptly digesting the food create a healthy appetite, increase flesh and strengthen the action of the heart and liver. They are not a cathartic, but intended only for stomach diseases and weakness and will be found reliable in any stom ach trouble except cancer of the stomach- All druggists sell Stuart'sDyepepsia Tablets at,50c per package.
