A CAMPAIGN OF EDUCATION
. - We I are informed by the republican
press of the land that from, now until
the November election, this shall be a
campaign conducted on lines of educa
tion; that the issues shall be stripped
of all eentimentalism; that personal!
. ties-will laid aside, and that, by the
Buomitun-goi tacts ana ngures, ice
voters of the nation will be convinced
of the ialacy of change in tbe money
standard of the -country. This is be
- vona snesuon ice manner in wnicn
the campaign should, be , conducted
Americans are the most patriotic peo
ple on earth', and as a rule' they desire
that tbe government should be . con
ducted on principles that will result In

these results is. what the average
voters wants' to learn, .- therefore he
welcomes the campaign of education;
the one in which he is to be convinced
by facts' and figures; but he demands
that he be fed on .facts, not fiction.

our republican, friends: .
The republicad party hasever sought
to pose as the friend of the laboring
man, asdits advocates have continu
ally held that' a system of high tariff
-was necessary to .' protect' him ' from
competition with the pauper labor of
Europe.'" In this effort they displayed
. the wage scales of England, accepting
it as tbe most enlightened, progressive
ane aggressive country ' In .Europe,
though they have not confined them
selves alone x'England, but have like
wise shown what compensation labor
-receives in Germany and France as
veil, and in all the "wages are very
nearly the same, England perhaps pay
ing elihtly the higher wages of the
three. It would be tiresome to go
into lengthy tables of wages paid in
very line of industry that have been
published by the press, hence let us
confine ourselves to- a few of the .in
dustries that are common .to this im
mediate section and oome under onr
aU observation. Eagladd accord-J
ing to these republican authorities,
the ordinary farm laborer' receives 30
cents a day, tbe bricklayer 75 cents,
the carpenter 0 cents, the blacksmith
75 cents, the stonecutter 85 to 90 cents.
This low rate of wages has been at
tributed to England being a free-trade
country, but such argument hardly
holds good, when right across the
channel in Germany, where tho high
est kind of protection prevails, - the
wages are evenlower. Therefore pro
tective tariffs or free trade can have
little effect upon fixing Wages.
In more recent argument, which is
intended to convince the. American
.laborer, that in order to keep up - his
presen t highstandard c-f wages he must
maintain a gold standard,, the same
high republican authority1 In viteahis
attention to tbe wage scales' of Mexico,
l-i-i- i j j i.
woica a Biivar-jiauuaru CQuatry.
There we are toldthat, t,he ordinary.
farm laborer is paid from 50-to 75 cents
a day, tbe blacksmith $1.75' the car
penter and stonecuttei- the same''TbU
of course is in Mexican silver, worth
only 'half as much as the British' coin,
but the result cj the day's work, will
buy the laborer just as much of the
necessaries of lifa In Mexico as it will
in England! In connection with this
comparison, howeyer, it must be taken
.into consideration that the ordinary
Mexican laborer is by no means the
equal of tbe Englishman, being indo
lent, unskilled and ignorant, and if
placed side-by side with an- Eaglish
working man would not do one-half
the work performed by the latter
Then for the same amount of work
done the Englishman receives only one-
half what the despised free-silver Mex
ican does.
The money of England has ' been
based on gold for almost a century,
while In Mexico silver has been tbe
basic motley since the government was
formed. England Is pointed to as the
most enlightened nation on eartb,
Mexico the very opposite. English
laborers are said to be more industrious
than any- others except .Americans,
while-the lazy Mexican is -proverbiah
With this comparison made by the re
publican press, and in ..the .face of this
sort of educational campaign, can the
American laborer ' see rr.uch-. la the
SqVL standard for iim?. ' ' .:'

.WE-XASiLQJBJ
Aside from the money question, .there
are issues that will arise in the presi
dential 'campaign which are of nearly
equal 1 m pbr t alj e'eT if nST "ec o u l3not Te
lost sight of in the hot debate carried
on over gold and silver. Oae prom
inent issue that should be kept in the
minds of the people is that of popular
government against the misused power
of the corporations. In it there is not
the slightest element of hatred of the
rich, but an uprising of tbe masses to
protect themselves from the grinding
power of the classes, and it is without
justice that the organs of the corpora
tions endeavor to brand this uprising
of the people ss anarchial, incendiary
and threatening good government.
The war that is being waged is "not di
rectly against wealth or the possessors
of millions, but against the abuse of
the power of wealth in an organized
capacity." ,
The course pursued by. the Chicago
convention was only the acceptance of
tbe challenge Issued at St. Louis.
The corporation interests combining
and centuring on the nomination of
Mc Kin ley, assumed at attitude of bold
neis and defiance because of a. belief
that the' deiSiDcratio .. party was dispr
gamzed and discouraged, and that's
nominatiahby the-- republican 'p'ariy
was equivalent to an election. Organ
ized capital thought it saw in the signs
of the times an opportunity to tighten
its boldupon 'the. masses and to deliver
the finishing blow to popular rights
Never before had it been so aggressive;
neyer before bad the tasks of captur
ing tbe government in the interest of
corporations appeared to be within
such easy reach.' It is weir to bear in
mind the conduct of the St! Louis con
vention and how the influence of the
trusts, combines and syndicates waS
-used- to- bring about the adoptfon of the
platform' and the nomination of the
cand.idate, because by it tbe action of
.the Chicago convention can be more'
clearly understood. '.
The-challenge issued at St. Louis
was promptly accepted at Chicago, and
the 'masses readily arrayed themselves
against the classes. It was - the only
thing needed to arouse, the people to.
action, and tbe corporations -are-now
ahvrmed at the storm they -have raised.
They realize the mistake' they made
in taking such active part In tbe St.
Louis convention and putting at the
bead of the campaign management
Mark Han na, a chief of trusts and
syndicatesi but they see no way- out of
tbe error. . 'Having allied themselves
with -the republican party, nd -having
ho Influence with tbe opposition, they
.aire seeking to. strengthen the republi
can position by marshaling their forces
and drawing to it all whom they can
influence in any way. -'
'The fact that the corporation s, trusts,
combines and syndicates, regardless of
former party affiliation, are rallying to
the'standard of McEinley is sufficient
evidence that they have captured the
once great' organization, the republi
can party, and purpose using it to de
feat any effort to curb their power.
The position is simply this: The fav.
ored classes rallying to. the support of
McKinley and the tnasees'to the stand
ard of Bryan. With this situation ex
isting, tbe issue .is clearer than ever
before, and-outlines the course every
patriotic American must pursue to
preserve the idea a government by the
people. There are but two paths left
to take, one which' leads to a govern
ment by the corporations,' the other'to
a government, by the people.
.Who is best capable to judge what is
socialistic, -the wlly.pblitician'jcnr; the
socialist himself? The republican
press lias been denouncing the Chicago
platform as being socialiatic and-anarr.
chiaticbu5 the socialists of New York
have found the '-platform . adopted by
the republicans at St. Louis best suited
to their taste. ' and have come out ia
open declaration fprVbe St. Louis plat
form and McKinley. Eves-Herr Most,
the socialist leader of America, has es
poused the cause -of . McEinley and
gold. It will now be in order for the
republican papers' that have been bo
industriously advocating Most as a fit
foreign minister for Bryan to appoint,
to turn their attention to finding some
place In McKlnlev's cabinet for him.
Tbe bankers of New York are' mak
ing a herculean effort to keep tbe gold
reserve about the 8100,000,000 limit by
paying gold for treasury notes.1 This
they will be able to do until after the
November, election, then the reserve
will disappear, and another bond issue
will be necessary, no matter who is
elected. Nevertheless if they can
keep the reserve above the deadline it
will meM votes for McKinley.
TJJSWABR ANTED ABUSE.
The' manner in which the opponents
of the ticket nominated at Chicago
have begun their campaign must rouse
the prefoundest resentment' of every
American regardfull of the interests
and jealons of the honor pf his country,
says tne Hew York Journal. The re
presentatives of half of the American
people hive been denounced in de
lirious-language as anarchists, cut
throats and swindlers. " Their chosen
candidate for the highest office in the
republic has been pictured as a crazy
Jacobin-or a designing demagogue,
Commerce and industry have been
threatened with the panic theicalarm
Ists have professed to fear. ; . ' "
This crusade has been one of reck
less misrepresentation from the start
( The libellers of the late convention
know that the Chicago platfo-m is not
anarchical. In most respecrs it I in
spired by enlightened prpgressiyeriess.
The anarchical eletnents in. the con
vention Tillman and Altgeld were
distinctly frowned upon. Tillman was
hissed whenever, he-roe to Speak.
The mild , implied-criticism of the
majority" of the supreme court, ' or,
-rather,- of the one justice who changed
his mind," was thoroughly well. de
served, and might have been made
stronger without impropriety. Since
when have we been endowed with in
fallible judges, whose acts are above
criticism?, If the advocacy of the just
and scientific principle of the taxation
of large incomes was anarchistic, then
every statesman' in England is an an
archist, aad, instead of searching the
cellars of the houses of parliament for
barrels -of gunpowder, the authorities
oil'ght to search the pockets of every
member for bombs. The income tax
is tfrct. backbone of the-" Britioh
financial system; it is about to be in
trodced, in a graduated form - at that,
into France, and it already exists In
its most extreme degree-in Germany.
The condemnation of .the practice of
substituting gnyernment by injunction
for the old, orderly processes of courts
and juries, so-far from being revo
lutlonary,-- is ..a - vindication of. the
ancient rights of the English speak
ing race against a novel and danger
ous innovation which, deserves the
name of . anarchy 'much better than
I anything-done at Chicago.
indorsed by a vast majority of - tbe
people of the United States; of a tariff
for revenue only,, and protests against
the-disturbance to business that would
be caused by a return to McKinleyiam.
There is nothing incendiary 'in that.
In this -point it is the Chicago platform
that is conservative . and- the one
adopted at St.. Louis that Is revolution
ary. ' .."
""We .hold,", adds the . democratic
profession of faith, "that' tbe most
effioient Way of protecting American
labor ia to prevent ' the" Importation of.
foreign paupers to compete with it in
the borne market." That is honest,
straightforward protection the only
kind that does what it pretends to do.
Tbe "Chicago platform demands
simplicity and economy in govern
ment, and protests against the profli
gate waste of mooey that has charac
terized republican legislation.. That is
not the reckless spirit of a mob. It is
rather the sober utterance of prudent
property owners and taxpayers, of
whom the Chicago convention was
principallyCQmposed. .. . ;
The ' 'protest- against varbHrary
federal interference in local affairs'. ii
One which Jefferson would .have com
mended as the very' foundation Bton"o
of his political faltb. ; . -. .-
-In denouncing- the . attempt ' to
swindle the government out of more
than 8200,000,000 by extending the
-Pacific railroad debts the convention
was fighting anarchy, for there can be
no more -dangerous anarchists- than
those who are powerful enough to
.override the laws and amass wealth
from the property of the people.'
.Moreover, tbe silver plank in the
Chicago platform does not deserve the
frantic vituperation levelled against it.
If Its authors were mistaken in their
methods, their 'aim1, was to introduce
bimetalittm, and .bimetalism is
scientific theory with too much expert
authority on its side to brand its ad
vocates as lunatics or incendiaries.
- Nor Is it possible with any more
sincerity to call Mr. Bryan a dema
gogue. He s -the very reverse of
demagogue. He .follows tne truth as
be sees it, though It lead bim to politi
cal destruction. Last year be could
muster only ten thousand votes for '.his
faction in Nebraska out of over 180,
000, but he had no thought or com.
promise. -' He fought on, regardless of
victory or defeat, thinking only, of
what he believed to ' be ' right, if he
had not been nominated nobody would
bave dreamed of calling' him a dema
gogue. His spirit is rather that of a
prophet.
On the other side "we . have William
MeKinley, bound ... band, foot and
tongue to the most corrupt combina
tion that ever exhibited itself openly
in in American presidential campaign
His election would put the resources

In most respects the. 'superiority Of

. DEMAGOGY PREVAILED. -The
middle-of-the roaders in the St.
Louis coc vention, by resorting to what
they term sharp practice, bave done
what they could to defeat the issue
which they hold to be of the greatest
importance, and have convinced tbe
more conservative element In their
party, those who are sincere in their
demands for free Bilyerjhat they are a
set of demago ues.
Their only hope of success lay in
centering the silver vote of tbe country
upon one candidate for president. This
was in their power, provided ' they
would lay aside their prejudice and en
dorse tbe national democratic ticket.
A considerable-majority of the dele
gates were favorable to Bryan, but be
cause bis" running' mate Sewell Is a
banker,.,tbe? middle-pfhe-roaders sat
up a hue and cry that he could not be
endorsed; and knowing Bryan, would
refuse to desert the man with whom he
was nomYnated, they- defeated all
efforts to combine the silver vote by
resorting to foolish prejudice, arid
nominating Watson for vice-president.
The populists had it in their hands
to bring the money question squarely
before the people at the coming elec
tion, but they frittered the opportunity
away. How binding the rank and tile
of that par'iy will consider the acts of
the national convention remains to be
seen, but it is not likely the more con
servative ones will follow the lead of
the bosses, for they can see nothing
but defeat in it, hence we believe the
greater portion of 'the populist vole
wili go to the' demodratio nominees,
regardless of the convention.
EDUCATIGN PROSTITUTED.
The state agricultural col?ege, one
of tbe leading institutions of learring
in Oregon, bas unfortunately been
drawn into politics. This grand insti
tution, magnificently endowed by the
general government, has been made a
vehicle. by which the politicians who
burden" the 6tate' have rewarded a
political henchman, or rather by which
the cbief executive, has shelved a pos
sible future rival. By a brazen-faced
trick he has placed at the head of that
great college, one unknown to edu
cational life,' with everything to learn
.within the scope of his duties as presi
dent of a school. He has elevated to the
position of president of the -agri
cultural college Hon. H. B. Miller, of
Eugene a man who has had no experience-whatever
to fit him for the
position, exaept; that he is a suc
cessful politician, and possibly 'might
become a successful rival for guber
natorial honors two years hence.
- It was through the 'planning of the
state house ring, the goveruor, secre
of state, . state . superintendent, and
lieu land commissioner that tbe cause
of education bas thus been prostituted,
and Mr. Miller made president of the
agricultural college.. The Corvallis
Times, in giving an account of the
meeting of the. regents at which Mr.
Miller was elected, -throws some light
upon the idfluences that were brought
to bear to secure .bis election in tbe
following language:
"It was indeed the governor of Ore
gon and not the board that named Mr.
Miller to the position, and he did it by
a political legerdemain more' suited to
the practice of a ward heeler than tbe
governor of a great state. He is the
first -governor whose selfish personal
ends and ambition bave caused him to
forget the dignity '.ot bis position, and
caused bim to prostitute it in order to
reward a political friend. Tbe gov
ernor made a speech advocating the
claims of Mr. Miller tor tha position;
and the recipients of his official favors
bowed a meek assent to his sentiments.
It was a proud moment for his servile
henchmen and for the wire-pulling
political boss, Wm. P. Lord. Another
member present was the superinten
dent of public instruction. In fact
with the results before us, it is plain
that the- s'ate house has a ring, and
that it is in the dd ley bent on builc-
ingjtself up foi--futB-re glory hereafter,
and that it proposes; foinake a beast of
burden of the O. A'.-'O. to be ridden so
-tongas it serves the purpose of the
oonspirators. ,
. "The other members presentwho
voted to suit the go vern or," were Tim
othy-Davenport, Joseph Church and
Benton Killin. The two .latter owe
their appointments .on the' board to
. the governor, and Mr. Davenport holds
the position; of ' commissioner of the
lieu lands, a position- whose salary he
was called upon to draw by the states
Executive, - - -
"The men who Voted against Mr.
Miller were W. H. Hilleary, masterof
the state grange, who made a speech
in which he Bet forth the opposition of
the grange to Mr. Miller's candidacy;
W E.Yates, secretary; J. K.Weath
erford, treasurer; J. T. Apperson, pres
ident of the board, and W. P. Keady.
They are' men on whom Governor
Lord had no strings, and who voted
their honest sentiments, regardless of
political promises. They have from
long associations had the wellfare of
the O. A. C. at heart, and they spurned
the reckless abuse of executive power
that smothered honest opinion and
namtd an O. A. C. president by a polit
ical trick. Their action is commended
by their fellow citizens.
"The election of Mr. Miller to the
presidency was followed by the crea
tion of a new' position, hitherto un
known at the college, that of dean, to
fill' which Prof. Berchtold, the oldest
member of the faculty, was selected.
The duties of the dean were left by
the .board to be fixedby President
Miller and bis faculty." "
Tbe Portland Telegram copies an
article from the Mineapolis Journal
which purports to give the wages paid
different classes -of . laborers iu the
silver-staqda'rd .'countries', . Mexico,
Peru, Russia, China, and Japan, com
paring them with: the wages for like
service in the United 'States. Tbe
Schedule of wages given indicates that
in the United States laborers receive
vastly higher pay. than in the countries
named, and this is,eet up as an argu
ment for maintaining the present gold
standard.'. But the article fails to
make a. comparison of wages paid in
the silver-standard countries ' - with
those paid la the gold-standard coun
tries, England; Germany and Italy, or
the wages paid in. America-prior to
1873 and since. It the--standard of
money has aay effect upon the price of
labor why not let the whole truth - be
known? . '
A pitiful plea is going up from the
republican press for- the "poor deposir
tors in banks," who Will be pail off in
53 cent dollars in case-this country
should go to a silver basis. It is stated
that the depositors would lose just one
half their deposits in being paid eS in
depreciated currency. 'If .this were
true the .bankers would naturally clear
47 cents on every dollar - depositc-d.
This would be the most profitable turn
they have been able to make in centur
ies, hence if the proposition Were true
every banker in America would favor
free coinage, for they are only .human,
and are uot ia business solely for their
health, . .' ' ' ' -: -
The very thing som.e pf the most
ardent gold advocates among ih re
publican press bave been clamoring
for has come to pass, that tbe issue in
the national election could be made
on the money question, between two
pronounced candidates. The demo
crats, populists and silver republicans
have granted this desire be centering
on Bryan for president, and. now some
of those papers are sending up a pitiful
wail because 'the populists may,
through, tnls- eombiBation, drop out of
existeo. " - ' - (
SHOULD BE ABOLISHED.
If for no other reason than that of
economy, the June election should be
abolished, and the next' legislature
should pass a resolution for an amend
ment to the constitution, to be sub
mitted to the voters at the next
general election, changing the time
f jr holding the county arid state elec
tions from the first Monday in June to
tbe first Tuesday after tbe first Monday
In November,-the dato of the presi
dential election. Such acbange would
save to the taxpayers of the state some
825, 000 every two years, as that is
about the estimated cost of holding a
general election in Oregon.
The last general election cost Wasco
county $733, as follows: Judges and
clerks of election, $471; deputy sheriffs
putting upand taking down booths, $95;
messengers conveying election returns
from precincts to county seat, $96;
election tickets, $71. Waeco is per
haps an average of the 32 counties in
tbe state as to tbe number of voters
and election precincts, hence taking
the cost of conducting the. election
here as an average it would amount in
all the counties to $23.4"6. Very
nearly the same expense will be nec
essary again at the November elec
tion, therefore Oregon will pay out
nearly $50,000 this year for elections,
or 825,000 more than would be required
had the framers of our constitution
fixed the date fur tbe general election
on the same day - as the presidential
election is held. Thin unnecessary ex
pense of government falls upon the in
dustry and thrift of the country,, with
especially relentless force during time s
of depression, and .even in times of
prosperity is an item "of cons'derable
amount that had as well be saved to
the taxpayers.
Aside from the question of economy,
it is to the -best interest of the country
that elections ' be held in all tbe
states on the same day. Then
every state would conduct its
campaign independently of striker?,
bosses and foreign campaign orator?.
Besides it would to a great extent
prevent the colonization of non-resident
voters in localities where the
.election is close, and the people of
each state would be allowed to express
their preference for local officers with
out the interference of a floating ele
ment that may be moved across state
lines at the convenience ot political
parties. ' .
EDITORIAL NOTES.
Ex-Attorney General Williams, who
is conceded to. be one- of the most far
seeing men in the state, propecits that
"the people of the United States are
determined to restore silver as a stand
ard money, and the political parties
will have to-take notice of that fact."
The New York World says Hoke
Smith. J. G. Carlisle, and William L.
Wilson of President Cleveland's cabi-
Lnei have decided to support Bryan and
Sewall. President Cleveland has not
as yet expressed himself. When be
doe's speak be - will probably "tell' tbe
truth." '
A few months ago tbe big republi
can organs , like the Qregonian were
very severe upon Ambassador Bayard
because of his alleged liking for every
thing English.' .Now they love the
old gentleman just. as intently as tbey
once hated him because be bas de
clared for tbe gold "standard platform
upon which Major "McKinley stands.
..J. Sterling' Morton, secretary of Ag
riculture. out in Nebraska boomln g
himself a&.tbe candidate of the gold
standard democrats for president. He
says his only aim is 'to down the Bryan
craze" and elect McKinley. It this is
his object,' he would appear more con
sistent if he would enter ths campaign
as a supporter of McKinley, and quit
fooling around as a democrat.
Tbe republiban campaign for 1890
was opened yesterday at Alfred, Me.,
by Hon. Thomas B. Reed, who is by
odds the brainiest man in the repub
lican party today and who has accepted
the nomination of his party for repre
sentative of the first congressional
district of Maine. Mr, Reed in bis
speech held that the- money question
is the paramount issue in tbe cam
paign.
Affairs in Califo-nia offer an ex
planation of the general situation.
LThe Southern Pacific company, the
leading corporation in the state, is
concentrating all its forces in the re
publican ranks.-' Not very long ago
the leading republican newspapers of
San Francisco were vigorously fighting
the funding bill, and tbe republican
state convention adopted a plank de
nouncing it. Today 'the .republican
papers are- saying nothing about the
funding bill and are praying republican
voters will forget It. - This shows
clearly enough that - the Southern
Pacific-Is tbe dominating- inflcence in
the republican party of the state. .A
similar condition of affairs exists in
every other state.
A , letter was received by a promi
nent democrat of . thisr city this morn
ing. from Hon. E. D. McKee, inviting
him to meet with , the gold standard
democrats in Portland atan early date
and arrange for Bending delegates to
the sound, money. convention to be
held in Indianapolis on 'August 7, to
arrange for nominating a gold-standard
democrat for president. This prop
osition we believe , is tnot accepted
favorably by a single democrat in
Wasco - county. Those who cannot
support the regular nominee of the
national convention dp not favor mid
dle grounds, and instead of advocating
8 third candidate witl-Bimply go to the
polls and vote for McKinley. "

Three meteorological records were

KOW A COLLEGE PBESIUENf.
II. B. Miller in Charge of the AzricTil.
toral School.
CORVALLIB, Or., July 28 Hon. B.
B. Miller, of Grant's Pass, was today
raised to tbe presidency ot tbe Oregon
agricultural college, the entire board
being present, a thing unknown for
years. The vote stood 8 to 5 in Mil
ler's favor. Miss Helen V. Crawford,
of Albany, was chosen instructor of
elocution, a position created at tbe last
board meeting. The salary of tbe
printer was divided between George
Clark and Lester M. Leland, who will
have charge of the department' of
printing, receiving $500 each per year.
H. T. Condon, of Eugene, was selected
as bookkeeper, stenographer and cur
chasing agent, the position heretofore
held by J. W.. Crawford. Professor
F. Berchtold, senior member of tha
faculty, was chosen dean.
There was a strong fight made
against Miller's candidacy on the
ground chiefly that he was not an edu
cator, and that be was known as a poll
ticlan. It Is pretty generally under
stood that Hillery, master of the state
grange; W. E. Yates, of Corvallis,
Weatherford, of Albany, and Keady
and Nash, of Portland, favored the
selection of experienced educator
for the posithVand they voted against
Mr. Miller.., - i ;
' The action of tho board is not re
ceived'faere ith satisfaction. The ag
ricultural classes especially seem in
dignant, and charge political jobbery
The board selected Mr, Miller, so it is
said, because of his business qualifica
tions and bis mechanical abilities, be
having been a first class bridge car
penter, and later a bridge contractor.

PKOTECTION AKD FINANCE,
Chairman Banns Says the Questions Can
not be DlToroed. -
New Yohk, July 29, The prophesy
that chairman Hanna would ignore
the Jfew York politicians in the pre
liminary organization of the campaign
work for McKinley bas proven fal.e,
for Frederick S. Gibbs, national com
mitteeman, was one of the guests at
the meeting ot tbe .astern managers
today. Gibbs represent the Piatt
ftetlon of the republican party of Nov f
York: Hanna said Piatt was not in
vited to the meeting as he was net a
member of the committee. The most
important question to be discussed
this afternoon will be as to tbe lines
upon which the campaign will be con
ducted. Frank S. Witherbee and a
delegation representing the American
Proactive League will ararue in favor
of making a figbt upon tariff lines,
loivuie ii. Ingalls and others of lua
financial aud corporation world will
ak that the financial question be kept
uppermost. '
Hanna said today:
"The financial and tariff questions
cuuuotinmy judgment be divorced.
1'inancial depression or prosperity is
due in a great measure to our tariff
conditions. McKinley shares this view
with me."
Hanua will suggest that the tariff
leagues prosecute tbe fight valorou-ly
on their own lines and those interested
in tbe financial question do similar
work, the national committee giving
assistance.

Chairman Stephenson ot Michigan Sup
ports the Chicago Nominee.
Detroit, July 29. The democratic
state central committee this evening
declined to accent the resignation of
Chairman Stephenson, and called tbe
state nominating convection to be
held in Bay City, August 15. Although
Chairman Stephenson, who is a law
partner of Don M. Dickinson, had
been a radical advocate .of the gold
policy and still emphatically depre
cated what he terms the outrage of un
seating some of the Michigan gold,
standard delegates at the Chicago con
vention, he accepts the platform and
candidates decreed by. the national
convention and declares that being a
democrat, he will do his whole duty in
waging a vigorous campaign in Michi
gan for the success of the party nomi
nees and its declared policies.
It is now arranged that the populists
and the new union- silver 'party con
ventions will be held at Bay City on
the same day a the democratic con
vention and it is expected that a fusion
of the three parties on one ticket will
be accomplished. This : is considered .
a necessity by the silver men, as the
state law enacted by the last (republi
can) legislature, requires that no candi
date can appear on more than any one
ticket.

and the future position of the United
States was assured, capital would come

railroad accident, horrible in its de
tails and sickening in its results, oc
curred this evening, just outside of
this city, aud as a result about 100 per.
sons are either killed or injured.
Tbe Read in? railroad express, which
left Philadelphia at 5:40 o'clock ttris
evening for Atlantlo City, crashed into
a Pennsylvania railroad, excursion
t-aio at the second signal tower, about
f jur miles out from here.
The Pennsylvania train was return
ing to Brigoton with a party of excur
sionists from that place, Millvtlle and
neighboring towns. It was loaded with
passengers, and a rough estlate ot
the killed and injured at a late hyur
places the number at 100. It is hoped
tbat this is an exaggeration, but the
number is undoubtedly more than 50.
At the second signal tower, - the'
tracks of tbe two roads diagonally
cross. ' Tbe Reading train was given
the signal to stop, but the brakes
either failed to work or the speed ot
the express was too great to be check

literally' cleaving it in twain. Tbe
engine of the Reading train was shat

Tha Bankers of California Issue an Astl .
Silver Pamphlet. " v ,
San F&ANCISCO, July 30. The Cali
fornia Bankers' Association bas Issued
a pamphlet on the financial question,
as' the members believe the currency
issue is the vital Issue of tbe-presiden-tial
campaign. . Tbey .take the position
that the plank la the democratic plat
form favoring the "free coinage of
silver at tbe ratio of 18 to 1, without
awaiting similar action by any; other
government," is a most dangerous one.
They set forth tbat it the United States
should alone attempt free coinage ot
silver at that ratio, gold would be
hoarded to await a premium or shipped
to foreign countries, and silver alone
remain as a circulating medium. They
also fear that capital would'be driven
away, credit paralysed and enterprise
crippled?
The pamphlet concludes:
"Convinced" of the righteousness of
our cause, and earnestly wishing to
promote the general welfare, we un
hesitatingly express our decided opin
ion that every vote against 'free coin
age of silver at the ratio of lfltol' is a
vote for the return of confidence, and.
prosperity; for thebenefltof all classes;
for tbe protection of your families and
homes, and," above all, for tbe preser
vation of your, owb aud your country's
honor." '
