WHO PAYS THE BILLS f
: The cost of condnotlnjr a national
MimTMiljrn la enormous, and is on of
the evidences that we are each year
. becoming more corrupt politically. It
' is conservatively estimated that the
expenditures of the different parties
this year will be considerably , over
' tl5.000.00Q, and when such' sums of
money are expended for the purpose of
' carrying an election, one naturally is
lead to inquire where it -comes from.
Intelligent beings know that candi
dates forofflco cannot afford to.ad-
vance such-amounts! hence the cam
paign fund must come from sources
that expects to derive benefits in the
way of class legislation, in case the
party to which they contribute is suc
- cessfuL It is purely a business tran
saction with those who contribute, for
through the favors they expect to re
ceive, they are enabled to make their
respective onterprises more profitable;
In plain language, to draw from the
masses larger profits, and thus, in the
long run, to compel the peeploof the
country to pay the expenses of. high
priced campaign orators, torch-light
processions, wine dinners, etc.
According to the figures of the Chi
cago Times-Herald, the national con
ventions alone -cost from 83,000,000 to
' $4,000,000" apiece, including expendi
tures of. all sorts. The presidential
campaign proper in 1892 witnessed an
outlay by each of the two great parties
of from $3,000,000 to $5,000,000 after
ihe conventions had been held. This
year it Is predicted more money will
be expended than in any former cam
paign. The clese states of course get
the lion's share, Hew York and In
diana usually taking the lead both as
regards, corruption funds : and legiti
mate expenses. Thi year If New
York is conceded to the gold men,
Ohio. Illinois and Indiana will be the
principal battle ground.
IT the estimates of the Times-tier
aid are aproximately correct, the
plain people of America have, during
the past four years, been contributing
their mites toward reimbursing the
managers of the twq great parties in
the sum of from $6,000,000, and they
may look forward to another four years
of increased contributions for this pur
pose. We will have to pay the bills,
no matter who is elected, ft will
come in a sort of indirect taxation,
but it will come all the same.
CHEAPER LIGHTS WANTED.
A new schedule of rates for electric
light service has been established by
The Dalles Electric I Light Co., which
it is claimed increases the cost of lights
about 331 percent. This has caused
considerable dissatisfaction among
thoe who are using Jlghto, they clalm-
Ug toey nave, under the old rates,
paid all they can afford, and .many
are contemplating the use of coil oil
for lighting, while Others are discuss
ing the advisability of . putting "in
another- plant.' This discussion may
terminate in' the formation of a corpor
ation, and the establishing of a new
electric light plant.
The Dalles Is, we believe, too small
a place to support two light plants, but
It is composed of people who am rea
sonably independent, and when they
become convinced that they are being
imposed upon, or believe they are
being made pay more for an article
- than it is worth, are liable to rely upon
their own .resources for- supplying
themselves with such an article. This
was demonstrated a few years , ago,
when they concluded they were paying
too much for freight oyer the O R. &
N. line, and the D. P. & A.' N. com.
pany was organized by home capital.
It is suggested by some that power
can be transmitted' from the -falls on
the Deschutes, a distance of not to ex
ceed la miles, to turn the dlnamos oi
an electric light plant, and that capita1
can be interested in a com
pany for the purpose of furnishing
electrio lights for the eity. Whatever
may come of the agitation .certain it Is
that the water power of Deschutes, if
it can be. transmitted, would. be
cheaper for turning themachlnery of
an electrio -light plant, than steam
power, and if the present "eonapaBy
persists In enforcing the new rates
some means will be instituted for ob
taining cheaper lights. .

IT CAN BE SETTLED,
or no prosperity during the .coming
four years. . '
However, should the populists and
silver republicans heed the advice of
Senator Jones,' and allow the contest
to come squarely between McKinley
and the nominee of the Chicago con
vention, the money question will be
eliminated from politics in the future.
If on this Issue, in a single-handed
contest, McKinley is elected, it will be
a fair expression of the majority that
they favor the gold standard, and the
silver men must submit to the decision.
And should the result be otherwise,
those who favor the gold standard can
not longer clamor for its maintenance,
or at least until after the experiment
of a silver standard has been tried and
found detrimental to the interests of
the country. , .
, Silver men who are conscientious
will act upon the suggestions of Sena
tor Jones, and discourage the nomina
tion of a silver candidate at St. Louis
on the 22J, while such demagogues as
McDonald, the' populist oracle of Ten
nessee, who affirms .that "it shall be
Teller or nobody," will display their
insincerity by forcing a third candi
date into the field, thus assuredly de
feating the measure they pretend to
espouse, and forcing upon the nation
another four jrears of unsettled agitation-of
the money question :. This
question can and will be settled next
November, if allowed to come to a lair
test, but if such hypocrites as McDon
ald are allowed" to dictate, it will be
made a political foot-ball during the
next twenty years, as the tariff issue
has been in the past.
THE CANDIDATE'S PROGRESS
Major McKinley unquestionably has
made, record on the tariff question

learned in the land can readily tell j were inspired by the spirit of '76, make
IS HILL A DEMOCRAT?
From the first day of the national
democratic -convention all eyes were
turned toward Senator David B. Hill,'
of New York, who went to Chicago to
represent the views of the administra
tion, and it was predicted time and
again, that if he could not secure a
recognition of the administration, and
a plank in the platform favorable to
gold, Hill would walk out of the con
vention, and either call another- con
vention or declare for the republican
nominee. This fear was. dispelled
yesterday when he arose in the con
vention to follow the fl'ry s'p'seeti made
by Tillman denouncing Cleveland
Hill said "I will not attempt to answer
the senator from South Carolina, but
I can say to him, I am a democrat, but
not a gold bug. South Carolina with
all its power could not drive me out of
the democratic party. I came here on
a-mission to unite, but not to divide;
to build up, and not to destroy; to plan
for victory, not to plot for defeat. The
great Empire state, stood for years a?
the Gibraltar of the democracy
Hill deprecated the attacks on those
who believed in the free coinage of
silver at 16 to 1. He always treated
the men of this opinion with respect,
and would do the same today. He be-
IbsEed the best course was to cake the
first step toward international bimetal-
ism. The United States could not
safely ignore the monetary systems' of
other great nations, and yet the ma
jority platform contained no word
favoring this desirable end. It con
tained no suggestion of what should
be done if the parity could not be main
tained on ihe experiment of lQto 1
All was risk and experiment. The
fact could not be ignored of the great
production of silver in this country,
Could the agrarian people.-even it
where to find him on that proposition;
but where he has been, and where he
is now', on the money question is
slightly perplexing. Although, he. is
presumedly standing squarely on the
financial plank of the St. Louis plat
form, neither by utterance nor act has
he convinced the people that be is not
wavering. His record both in an outi
of congress has placed him on nearly
evry side of the money question, how
ever he is now looked upon as the em
bodiment of all that tends to maintain
the gold standard,
A few years ago he voted for free
silver coinage- A little later he voted
to coin not less than $2,000,000 nor
more than $4,000,000 a month. Still
more recently he voted to have the
government buy practically the entire
silver product of the country and issue
treasury notes against it.
In February last he declared for a
dollar as "uutarnisbed as the flag."
In the eyes of Bland and Teller a bright
new silver dollar just meets this defini
tion. In the Ohio platform he favored
dollars of "equal purchasing and debt-
paying power." Our present gold and
silver dollars have this power at
home. Pressed for a more definite ex
pression, the candidate said we must
have "full dollars." As this was not
satisfactory, he said in his speech to
the notification committee that .our
money "must not only be current at
its full face value at home, but it must
be counted at par in any and every
commercial centre of the globe." It
is perhaps a little uncertain whether
Mr." McKinley- would have this done
by conforming all our coinage to the
world's standard, or enforce his "must"
at the mouths of our cannon or our
orators. But his "unqualified approv
al" of the St. Louis platform gives
ground for the belief that he will yet
declare In plain terms his opposition
to the free and independent coinage of
anything except gold, though as yet
be has not done this or even forsworn
his allegiance to the gold standard,
copper the equal of gold?
From Senator Hill's assertion that
he came to Chicago to- unite, but not
to divide, all were lead to believe that
he was reconciled to submit to the
democratic principle of majority rule,
and accept the acts of the convention,
But today when he refused to take part
in the acts of the convention, it began
to look as it his declaration, "I am a
democrat," was like soldier buttons,
all for show. - "
DEMOCRACY'S CHOICE.
The democratic national raJntion
at Chicago today named William J.
Bryan, the silver -tongued orator of
Nebraska, as candidate for president.
Since silver was piven the most
prominent feature in the national plat
form, and is to be made the leading is
sue of the campaign, no more logical
candidate could have been named.
His position on the silver question is
clearly and well defined. He favors
the free and unlimited coinage
of the white metal at the ra
tio of 16 to 1, independent of all
other nations. In the fifty-third
congress he made a record as a silver
advocate not second to that of the
patriarch silver agitator Bland, and
during bis tour of the Pacific coast last
year, acquired a reputation as one of
the foremost silver orators cf the
nation.
Bryan's nomination, will as a mat
ter of course, not prove satisfactory to
the radical gold' wing of the demo
oratlc party, nor would any pronounced
sliver men - have been, - but he. will
likely be as satisfactory to the silver
republicans and ... populists'., as any
democrat could be. and if they consent
to allow silver to be made the one
and onlv issue they wilt endorse his
nomination at St. Louis on the 22d.
EDITORIAL NOTES.
"HOME 'MARKET' BUNCO.
Senator Jones, of Nevada, is one of
the few populist leaders -who Is -consistent
In the demand that the money
question be made the Issue in the com
ing election. He is willing to . lay
party prejudice aside, and wants to
unite the silver vote upon one candi
" date, in order that a fair and full
expression of the people Jon the
money question can4 be had. In Cbi

the. democratic national .convention,

the silver forces, - and that cannot be

the man, but he must be such as to
render it unnecessary for the populists
and silver men to make a nomination
at St. Louis. We will make ourselves
ridiculous by having two candidates.
' Nothing would please the gold people
more than for us to be divided and I
hope such a thing will not occur."
Senator Jones is' eminently correct

The' selection of Senator White as
chairman of the democratic national
convention was a high compliment to
the democracy of the West. Had the
convention named him for president,
it would have been a just recognition
of both merit and ability.
The Globe-Democrat presents an ex
pressive and appropriate cartoon. It
represents the democratic banker de
serting the free . silver mule sliding
off from behind. Of all business in
the country, banks will suffer the
worst from free coinage, and they will
hurriedly get off any mule that carries
the silver banner.
Hannaand McKinley are determined
to force the tariff as one of the issues
of the presidential campaign, and they
will be accommodated before election
day. They will be called upon to ex
plain every schedule or the 1890 tans
law, and it will be no easy task for
them to convince the great farming
community of the nation wherein it
was beneficial-to -their industry.
The public schools' of the United
States coat annually $16,000,000 and
the most pregnant fact In this connec
tion is that two thirds of the sum is
raised by the voluntary local taxation
of the people. It is to local interest,
work and liberality that the great
cause of education largely rests.
When the people tax themselves it
shows they appreciate the importance
of the object in view.
Already some " of the republican
papers, assuming In advance that
Major McKinley is elected president,
are selecting his cabinet, and have
given Thomas B. Reed the portfolio of
secretary of state, even without con
sulting Boss Hanna. But their selec
tion is not a bad one. Reed is com
posed of the right kind of mettle for a
secretary of state, ' or in fact for a
president.- Reed possesses both brains
and nerve.

litical death and social ostracism, and"
Williams knows it; but he has the
courage of his convictions.
. The dispatches announce that it i
the intention of the gold-standard
democrats to hoW a convention after
the silver men have got through at
Chicago, and put out an independent
ticket. This is absurd. The democrats
who cannot endorse the Chicago plat
form will either withdraw from the
party and' support McKinley. or they
will take to the woods until after the
November election is oyer. Whitneyf
Hill and Russell know full well that au
independent ticke would avail nothing
and tbey are not going to commit
political suicide.
Tbe action of the silver men of the
Chicago convention, In breaking over
all rules ot precedent by refusing to
make Senator Hill temporary chair
man, after he had been recommended
by the national committee, was cer
tainly illadvised, and has had a ten
dency to widen the breech between
the opposing elements. By this act
the displeasure of the gold men has
been unnecessarily Incurred, and there
will be a tendency among them to bolt
the nominee of the convention, where
as, had due courtesy been shown' them,
many would have quietly submitted to
the will of the majority.
It is said, that Henry Villard, backed
by .European and American capitalists,
has about. completed a deal which will
give them a through line from the
Atlantic to the Pacific! The inten
tion of the syndicate. Is to buy the
Northern Pacific ruad and the Balti
more and Ohio, which is to be sold at
a receiver's sale. It is said the syn
dicate has already practically obtained
control of the Chicago and Great
Western road, which will be . the
connecting link between the Balti
more and Ohio and the Northern Paci
fic. Ex-Governor Miles C. Moore, of
Washington, in his speech before the
silver convention at Tacoma the other
day, said '"the republican party had
lift him, not hp the party." Governor
Moore believes he is greater than his
party, and there are not a few others
who like he, have been prominent in
the republican party during the past,
but are now' seeking new anchorage
grounds. Old party lines have been
broken assunder by the agitation of
the money question, and will be re
formed in the coming .election with
gold on one side and silver on the
other. That must be the issue this
fall.
The people of Dufur are wide awake
to their interests, and have instituted
a move to establish a free road, leading
through that place, across Deschutes
at Manpin's ferry, and on toPrineville.
They have employed Surveyor Goet to
survey the line and report probable
.cost of construction, and have appoint
ed a committee consisting of Messrs.
M. J. Anderson, T. H. Johnston and

mates are made, and ascertain what
help can be obtained'. ' Mr. Goet com
mences operations on the line ' Thurs
day, and expects to have estimates
ready withih-a Bhort time.
The ah nou ncement of Col. Day that
he will put a'-lipe 'of steamers on the
Columbia', " to ' operate between The
Dalles and Portland, is rather surpris
ing, since only a few' abort months'
ago tbe colonel stated that The Dalles
'had no need of the canal and locks at
the Cascades, since it hud nothing to

ship, '.there is no need of another

! A PECULIAR FRIENDSHIP.
How it Was Established Between a Bawl
aud a Koost cr.
"The most peculiar friendship I evei
saw formed -was one between a hawk
and a rooster," said a traveler recently.
"One day, when living on a farm in
western Pennsylvania, I shot and
wounded a hawk. When I picked up
the bird I found that its wings were
broken, but otherwise it was unin
jured. My sister bejnjcd that tho crea
ture's life be spared, and the request
was granted. Within a few days the
hawk had become quite tame and
would come to us for its food when wg
called it The chickens were greatly
tngntenca at its presence and fsept up
considerable fuss. This soon wore ofi
and in a short time its presence wat
taken as a matter of course. The bird
was tied to a stake in the back yard
and the fowls would go several times a
day to look at him. One rooster, more
courageous than the rest, concluded tc
get acquainted with the enemy. In some
way they succeeded in communicat
ing together and establishing a bond
ox mend -imp. They were constantly
together, and after the hawk's wound
had healed and he was liberated he
would spend a portion of each day
witn ms incnd, the rooster, paying no
attention to the other chickens. In
some way he must have told the other
hawks that our flock was- under' his
especial care, for we . were never
troubled with them afterward, al
though before that we had lost a great
many ctucircna,"

that the federal constitution names
silver and gold together as the money
metals of the United States, and that
the first coinage law passed by con
gress under the constitution made tbe
silver dollar the unit of value and ad
mitted gold to free coinage, at a ratio
measured by the silver-dollar unit.
We declare that the act of 1873 de
monetizing silver without the know!
edge or approval of the American
people has resulted In the appreciation
of gold anda corresponding fall in the
prices of commodities, produced by tbe
people; a heavy increase in the burden
of ta&ation,apd of all debts, public and
private; the enrichment of tbe money-
lending classes , at home and abroad;
paralysis of industries aud impoverish
ment of the people.
. ' We are unalterably opposed to the
single gold standard, which has locked
fast the piospe'rity of an industrious
people in the paraly-is of hard times.
Gold moDometalism is a British policy,
founded upon British greed for gain
and power, . and its general adoption
has brought other nations into dnan
clal eervitude to London. - It is not
only un-American, but anti-American,
and it can be fastened upon the United
States only by the stifling of that in
domitable spirit and love of liberty
which proclaimed our political inde
pendence in 1776 and won it in tbe
war of the Revolution.
We demand the ' immediate . restora
tion of the free and unlimited coinage
of gold and silver at the present legal
ratio of 16 to 1, without waiting for
the aid or consent of any other nation,
We demand that the standard sliver
dollar shall be a full legal tender,
equally with gold, for all debts, public
and private, and we favor such legis
lation as will prevent the demonetiza
tion of any kind of legal-tender money
by. private contract.

Temporary Chairman - Daniel, In j
yielding the gavel to the California
senator, made a most graceful speech,
thanking the sonvention for its cour

leaders was most marked. The sena

a cameo dressed in the conventional
garb of the senate, was like a last

on the other hand had about him the
ruggedness of form face and speech

more like a Soldier than a statesman,

Chicago, July .8. It is only fair to
say that no mention of bolting the con

OUR MILITARY RESOURCES.
So Other Nation Can Mutter So Large aa
Army as Cacle Sara.
The United States has been Said to
be a warlike nation without being a
military nation. Its war potentialities
are vast indeed, says tho Boston Jour
nal. It showed that thirty years ago,
when with only a littlo more than half
Its present population it mustered more
than 3,030,003 men under arms in the
union and confederate forces. There
Is now in America tho enormous total
of 0.903,030 men of military ago eligi
ble for military service. No civilized
sountry in the world could place such
a gigantic host of men in the field in an
emergency.
Cf course, the actual number of or
ganized, drilled and uniformed citizen
soldiers is only a Kinol 1 fraction of this,
but tho real available military strength
of the United Statt ia only inadequate
ly appreciated by the avcrng Amert
can. Tho military spirit which th
civil war engendered has not died out
among the-American youth. On the
contrary, it has amply held its own, if
it has not increased. Never before
wa3 tho national guard of the several
states so strong in numbers, so well

Now York heads the list in numbers
with a well-equipped force of 13,810

denouncing free coinage, which met a
cool reception.
- One hour and a half was given to
tbe discussion of tbe platform, and the
discussion was heated. Tillman, of
South Carolina, occupied 50 minutes in
a passionate speech demoted to vin

Cleveland. Tillman said be had been

said, "is to liberate white slaves from

denounced Cleveland as a traitor, and
the issuance of .bonds by the. adminis

conspiracy. It was 12:30 when Tillman
finished his tirade. He was followed
by Senator Hill, who handled the
gentleman fronr South Carolina with

made the Southern blood of Tillman
boil.

taken place on tbe festival of S3.

Tho custom of namlnj children after
