" - A JUST DEMAND.
If any one class of people 1b entitled
to the fostering care of the govern-
ment, or if any should receive special
' faTors from legislation it is the agri
oolturistev Upon those who produce
the wheat that makes our flour, the
wool and cotton that clothes us and
... the meat we eat, we must all depend
for our sustenance. The farmer who
toils in the fields is the real producer
of wealth in all countries, except per
haps in the strictly manufacturing
centers, and these all are indirectly
dependent upon the agriculturalists.
, ' The farmers then are the real backbone
of the country, and upon their prosper
ity rests the prosperity of all. With
out them our railroads would have no
"traffic, our merchants no customers,
- our bankers no clients, our maaufao
' turers neither raw material to manu
facture, nor consumers of their pro
ducts. 'Therefore, since the life of all
industries depends upon them, if the
fostering care of the government
c should be extended to any class it is
the farmers. But, with the exception
1 - of the wool farmer, they have received
the least favors from legislation in the
past. . They have been taxed to build
up manufacturers and transportation
, lines, to maintain the army and navy,
- to pay the running expenses of govern-
ment, but little indeed have they re
ceived in return. ' '
Now when they ask for a change in
: the monetary system of the country
which they believe will be beneficial
: to their interests,- in that it will en
; hance the value of their products, they
'are confronted by the moneylenders,
the manufacturers and the transpor
tation companies with the charge that
. they are "repudiators -and traitors."
In this we believe the favored classes
are unwise. . They may be shrewder
financiers and more accomplished
manipulators of stocks and bonds than
are the tillers of the soil, but they
are no more patriotic or honest.
Through their manipulation .of
legislation : they - have been able
to formulate systems that are bene
ficial to themselves, but detrimental
and oppressive to the masses. It is
but natural that they should reluctant
ly surrender any of the privileges they
have enjoyed in the past, but they
have almost squeezed all the life out
of the wealth producers by their op
pression, until a point has been
reached where the burden is no longer
bearable, and if they would be pros
perous in the future they must con
cede something to the class upon whom
their prosperity depends. They must
concede to the farmer something more
than a mere living as a result of his
labor.
It is argued of course by the favored
classes that the remonitization of sil-
Ter wui not result beneficially
ana higher this rear than for man;
years past, despite the competition
with France, Italy and Spain. Neither
did he complete his pathetic story
about the injured farmer of Grande
Ronde valley who cannot sell his bar
ley because there is not enough duty
to prevent its importation from Can
ada. Had he completed his sorrowful
barley story.he would have shown that
in the most prosperous year under
high protection the Grande Ronde
farmers had been able to ship fully
two train loads of barley and there
were perhaps fifty farmers in that sec
tion partly engaged in barley raising.
What an awful big percentage is this
compared with the balance of the 70,
000,000 people in America. He might
also have profitably shown how it was
possible for the farmers in the more
rigorous climate of Canada to raise
barley and ship it into this country
and sell it at a price below the cost of
production in Grande Ronde valley.
He also might have shown wherein
the Canadian lumber men are success
ful competitors for the lumber trade
of this country by admitting the fact
that they pay the same wages across
the line that are paid on this side, that
their timber costs them very nearly
the same, and that the mill men have
to import their machinery whereas our
mill men are using domestic ma
chinery. Had he gone a little Into de
tail and dwelt a little on facts it would
not have been necessary for him to
have shed tears over the dangers of
our Pacific coast Industries being an
nihilated through competition with
Canada. The idea of any of our in
dustries being- endangered through
competition with Canada . has long
since-been exploded and is only re
ferred to by such back numbers as
McComant.
THE QUESTION OF WAGES.
INCONSISTENCY.
to the
farmer, but the latter believes differ
ently, and bases his belief upon the
: conditions that existed prior to 1873,
when- silver was -demonitized. He
looks back to the period of "Inflated
Currency" when his every product
brought almost double . the price it
does now, and remembers that in those
. days he was prosperous, whereas, since
that time he has seen the values of his
products steadily decrease, until, now
he is confronted with ' bankruptcy.
With such conditions existing it Is but
just that the demands he makes for a
revision of systems that will better his
condition be granted. To prevent anything-that
will be beneficial to the
farmer is to prevent all possibility for
prosperity, since without a prosperous
farming communities all business en
terprise is impossible.
The gentleman who met in state
convention at Portland last Saturday
and effected the permanent organiza
tion of the national democratic party
of Oregon, did some consistent things
and many that were inconsistent. All
the gentlemen who addressed the con
vention admitted that the prime ob
ject of the organization was the defeat
of the regular democratic nominee and
the election of the republican. Some
went so far as to say they wanted to be
left free to support McKlnley, but by
tneir acts tney iavorea putting up a
ticket to catch the votes of the waver
ing democrats who. opposed the free
coinage of silver,' yet who were not
ready to aid in turning over the reins
of goyernment to corporations, syndi
cates and trusts.
But the most inconsistent feature of
the convention is brought out. by a
comparison of the platform with the
sentiment in favor of electing the re
publican ticket. After commending
President Cleveland's administration,
and denouncing the Chicago conven
tion for not praising it, the platform
says:
"On the other . hand, while the
declaration made by the republican
party on this aspect of the financial
question is more in harmony with our
views, we believe that in other direc
tions its principles and- practices are
fraught with the greatest danger to the
welfare and integrity of the country.
It is not a party of the people, and the
plain people of the country have no
hope oi
It has dealt with (lavish hand favors
AWFUL GOOD DOLLAES.
.With a tenacious persistency the
republican press and orators continue
to demand that we have an awful good
. dollar, one tha is big and sound, and
- high priced, one that will buy "its full
weight in gold," and none-other. The
harder the dollar is to earn the better
it suits them., Senator Sherman is
: emphatic In his demand for a big dollar,
but in this he shows himself to be in
consistent with his tariff views." The
-. Spokane Review, commenting upon his
. recent "great speech" thus very clearly
.'. shows his inconsistency:
"Mr. Sherman says he is for the
- gold dollar . because it cheapens
' American products. He likes it be
cause it will buy three bushels of
wheat, six bushels of corn, twelve to
fifteen pounds of cotton and wool,
nearly forty pounds of .lead, and all
other commodities in proportion.
'That dollar is the best dollar that
buys the largest quantity.' He there
fore believes that the dollar would be
twice as good if it bought six bushels
of wheat, twelve "bushels of corn and
thirty pounds of cotton. ' If Mr. Sher
man believes that, and he says he does,
by what peculiar mental process is he
in favor of the protective mental tariff?
The avowed purpose of the protective
' mental tariff is to raise prices, and
thus make the dollar ' buy less food
and clothing. How can Sherman con
sistently be for one principle to make
the dollar buy more, and the same time
support another principle to make it
buy less? Grover Cleveland at least
has the virtue of consistency. With
Sherman, he believes that the best
dollar is the dollar that buys the most,
and he pursues a logical course when
he tries to make it buy greater quan
tities, first by its appreciation, and
second by the application of free
trade." -
and privileges to special interests and
corporate enterprises until they . have
become arrogant and insolent, and,
setting their own selfish ends in array
against the common weal, - they have
assumed to direct and control the
affairs of state for their own advance
ment and in disregard of the rights
and well-being of the great body of the
citizens of our country. These in
fluences now constitute the mainstay
of the party which fathers them.
. "We recognize in impost duties the
most efficacious means of raising reve
nue to defray the expenses of govern-'
ment, but we hold that the prime
object of this system was to provide
revenue and that protection is its in
cident, and we affirm that as admin
istered by the republican party It is
the fundamental . cause of the ills
which now afflict the country, and for
which we hold misgovernment by
that party primarily responsible. It
is sectional and partisan in its effects;
it has created and nourished privileged
classes at the expense of the body of
the people; it has fostered a spirit of
dependence of the employe upon the
legislator and of the employer, thereby
sapping the essence of enterprise and
manhood; it has destroyed our mer
chant marine, and made desolate the
shipyards of our seaboard states; it has
almost caused the retirement of our
flag from the high seas and cut off both
capital and labor from the great field
of commerce, one of the prime supports
of every truly great nation; it has bred
trusts and combinations of capital and
power, which destroy- competition,
narrow the opportunities of labor and
depress purchasing and enhance sell
ing values at the expense of the
laborer, the material man and the con
sumer; and it is an ever-present source
of corruption in the public service."
.Ye gods, what inconsistency! In
one voice the honorable gentlemen
who composed the convention assert
their object is'to aid in returning the
republican party to power, and in the
next, they in their platform, arraign
that party as the enemy of the plain
people of the country; a party whose
practices are "fraught with the. great
est danger to the welfare and integrity
of the country;" a party that has "de
stroyed our merchant marine," a party
that has "bred trusts and combina
tions," and is an "ever-present source
of corruption in public service. " Still
these gentlemen avow both by word
and act that their purpose to aid in
again putting that party in power,
simply because the party of the people
threaten to open our mints to the un
restricted coinage of silver. "
The fact that higher wages are paid
in the United States than in any of the
free silver countries is held up as an
argument by the gold standard press
for maintaining that standard in this
country. Especial stress is laid to the
low wages paid in Mexico, they being
held up as an example of what the
American laborer would be brought to
in case free silver coinage should be
adopted by this "coantry. But some of
the writers on this question are de
cidedly indiscrete and overdue their
argument. Especially is this true of a
correspondent to the Evening Post,
an American capitalist who has in
vestments in Mexico, whose expres
sions are quoted as authority by' the
Oregonian, in an editorial under the
head "Conditions in Mexico." This
correspondent, in the following words,
convinces the unprejudiced mind that
it is not the money standard, but the
standard of the laborer, that reduces
him to low wages in that country.
He says:
"The Mexican workman, as long as
he is punctually paid, does not grumble
or kick. He asks himself "no questions
as to what his employer makes. Strikes.
and labor combinations are unknown.
The Mexican government would soon
put an end to what we see almost daily
occurring in this country. He never
saves anything, so the secretion of
wealth does not trouble him, and he
knows nothing about spring beds,
porterhouse steaks or pianos. His
wants are few A cotton suit, a serape,
a straw hat and sandals for wardrobe:
maize cakes and beans for food, and an
occasional spree on mescal or pulque,
with plenty of tobacco which he gets
dirt cheap that is all. He lives con
tentedly and unconcerned for the mor
row as a bird, never looking forward
and never looking backward, till the
day comes when he. is coffinless,
wrapped in his cotton suit and serape
and laid to rest."
This is proof of the position taken
by the advocates of bimetalism, that
the standard of money does not gov
ern the standard of wages paid. And
while wages are much higher in- the
United States than in Mexico, they
are higher in that country now than
they were under a gold standard, and
are steadily advancing as the native
labor becomes more skilled. Besides
wages in free silver Mexico are
much higher than they are in gold
standard Italy, Turkey and Egypt,
even though the Turk and the Italian
are more grasping and have a greater
desire to accumulate wealth than
the -Mexican, who, according to the
correspondent quoted above, never
saves anything, and is satisfied with
maize cakes and beans for food and a
suit of cotton for clothing. A class of
people who are satisfied with sufficient
with which to supply immediate Wants
and who have no idea of accumulating
a competency for the future are not
such people as will command or earn
high wages. This is the condition of
the Mexican laborers. They are only
semi-civilized, they are indolent, im
provident people, and ages will be re
quired to bring them up to an equal
standard with American laborers as
wage earners. More than this, skilled
laborers from the United States, such
as railroad engineers, brakemen, sec
tion formen, who are working in Mex
ico are getting as high if not higher
rragn thnn thn nitia rlnan nt laborpra
are in this country, hence it is difficult
to be convinced that the standard of
money has anything to do with the
price of similar kinds of labor by la
borers of equal skill, whether the
money be gold or silver.
Conley, says this depression has fallen
alike upon the countries that are upon
a gold basis and the countries that are
upon a silver basis, hence the agita
tion of the money question in the
United States could scarcely have been
responsible for the depressions that
have existed throughout the world.
Then what is the cause? Is it not
possible that the claim of tho bimetal
lata, tue "sliver loons' as they are
called, that the striking down of one
half the basic money of Germany,
France and the United States, when
they demonetized silver, is the cause
of all this wide-spread disaster? When
these three countries, in rapid succes
sion, declared gold the only standard
by which values should be measured.
they struck down one-half the basic
money of each country. Thus the de'
mand for gold was increased two-fold
and all value of property, measured in
gold, was reduced one-half, so that the
products of labor fell in price corres-
ponding to the rise in the price of the
metal in which they were measured
tiiaine, bnerman and Carlisle, years
ago, predicted this would result from
the demonetization of silver as a pri
mary money, and what they predicted
has come true; the greatest financial
panic through which the world has
ever passed has been the result.
WILL AID BIMETALISM.
Something was said in these columns
recently with reference to the effect the
adoption of free coinage would have
upon other countries, especially those
holding' American secureties, toward
forcing them to adopt bimetalism in
order to protect their own interests,
It was held that our foreign creditors.
so soon as they were convinced their
American holdings were to be paid
either in silver or gold, would at once
insist upon the introduction of bimetal
ism in their respective countries; that
is, they would favor the restoration of
silver as a primary money, and thereby
a most perfect system of bimetalism
would be established throughout the
world. In short, it was intended to
show that the only way to secure inter
national bimetalism is to begin witn
national bimetalism, since foreign
creditors'would be interested in bring
ing our money, or rather the money
in which their securities are to be paid,
to a parity with the money of the
world. The same line of reasoning
appears to haye suggested itself to Dr.
Otto Arendt, the learned bimetalist,
He says:
"Bryan's victory will no -doubt pre
pare the way for an international
agreement. Should Bryan be elected
we, the bimetalists, would gain form
idable allies, while American bankers
would certainly do all in their power
to forestall the depreciation of Ameri
can values by backing our cause of
international bimetalism.
"Now as to the prospects in Europe.
The possessors -of American values,
fearing depreciation, would influence
the Bourse to such an extent as to
cause capital to reconsider its attitude
toward bimetalism, whereupon the
European governments may be obliged
to adopt bimetalism in order to restore
confidence and equality. All Europe
has formally declared that bimetalism
shall not be introduced without Great
Britain's co-operation. The English
Cabinet, at Balfour's instigation, de
sired March 17th that nothing should
interfere with the gold standard. . Bal

questionable view that no change of
WHAT IS THE CA USE?
On the morning that William J.
Bryan arrived in New York to meet
the notification committee, Francis D.
Carley, president of, the monetary
trust, addressed an open letter to the
candidate, warning him to stay away
from the metropolis of the nation. In
his open letter Mr. Carley held out
the impression that no one has a right
to address an audience in that great
city without first having obtained the
consent of the money leaders. First
he attempts to show that all business
depression has. been caused by the
agitation of the theories which Bryan
advocates; then he goes on to explain
that there has been a general depres
sion of business all over the world,
dating back to the failure of the Bar
rings in 1890. In his open letter to
Bryan, Carley says:
"You come to a great city. Hereto
fore it has been a joyous and prosper
ous city, but gloom has seized upon
every business circle and anxiety has
come to every home since you. an
nounced your coming. We fear you.
We believe you represent the worst
elements in the country."
Had Mr. Carley stopped here and
said nothing more, his warning might
at least have had the semblance of con
sistency, since it was an avowal that
the agitation of the silver question had
caused the unsettled condition of busi
ness, but like all other hypocrites, in
his endeavor to make his argument
more impressive, he gave his whole
case away when he said:
"We realize that we are in a period
of industrial depression. Those of us
who have spent our lives' in finance
and in study of economic questions
know that this depression has been
world-wide; that it fell alike upon
those countries which are on a gold
basis and upon those countries which
are on a silver basis; that periods of
prosperity and periods of depression
have followed each other through the
entire history of civilization; that
such alternations arise from the effort
of mankind to conquer nature and im
prove his condition; that periods of de
pression are brought about by natural
causes, and can only be overcome by a
more careful obedience of those laws."
Here one of the greatest financiers
of the country, a representative of the
most gigantic money-loaning concern
coinage should be imposed on financial
men. In other words, the world of
finance rules, the thief is jailer. Bal
four waits and hopes patiently for the
bimetalic conversion of London. That
famous debate of March 17th has
clearly shown what is thought of the
question in the city. The Shylock
standpoint was never presented with
more brutal effrontery than by Har
court." . Many of the leading statesmen of
Europe are firm believers in bimetal
ism, but the courage of their convic
tions do not carry them far enough
They will not seek to give them tho
force of law without the consent of tbo
money power. That consent will
never be given so long as it is profit
able to maintain the gold standard.
But when it becomes necessary as a
source of protection against possible
loss, In order to maintain at par the
values of some great debtor nation
like the United States, consent will be
readily f orthcomi ng. It will n o longer
be profitable for the money loaners of
Europe to attempt to keep up the gold
standard at home, while their securi
ties abroad are payable in silver or
gold at the option of the debtor.
Whenever the mines of America are
opened to the unrestricted coinage of
silver and it has full legal tender
powers, then the creditor nations will
favor international bimetalism and
not till then.
cial system, gold monometalism, is not
desirable or the best for the country,
but it advises the people to cling to it
until an impossible thing can be ac
complished. Then it appeals to the
patriotism fit the people by inviting
them to re-enact a protective policy
that benefits the few at the expense of
the many.
EDITORIAL NOTES.
AN APPEAL TO VOTERS
Address Issued By the
.Metal ic League.
Bi-
GOLD DEMOCRATS
Why don't the Oregonian demand
the resignation of Secretary of State
Kincaid? He is holding an office at
the behest of the republican party,
and at the same time his paper, the
Oregon State Journal, refuses to sup
port the republican nominee for president.
The communication of M. J. Ander
sen, published in another column, is
worthy of careful perusal. Mr. Ander
son is a life-long republican, but like
thousands of others, refuses to follow
me lead oi his party wnen it arrays
itself with the classes against the
masses.
The Telegram says "Killfeather has
been snubbed by the fusion, but wait,''
intimating that he will bolt. In this
the Telegram is off. Mr. Killfeather
was not "snubbed." He retired from
tho electoral ticket of his own free
will, and is a firm supporter of the
Bryan electors.
The Statis, tbe leading financial
journal of London, in its issue of Aug.
1, discusses at some length the finan
cial situation in the United States,
and unlike most gold standard papers,
admits that the free coinage of silver
can result in no harm to -the United
States, nor can it in any way endanger
its credit.
The sheepraisers who are so bitterly
denouncing President Cleveland be
cause the Cascade forest reserve is
closed to their flocks should bear in
mind that the bill creating tho reserve
was passed and approved during Pres
ident Harrison's administration. That
was indeed a protection administration
to the extent that it sought to protect
the grass in the mountains against
the encroachment of sheep's teeth.
The president has appointed Hon.
David K. Francis, ex-governor of Mis
souri, secretary of the interior, vice
Hoke Smith, resigned. In coming to
the Middle West for a secretary of the
interior, President Cleveland has used
good judgment. Had he not totally
ignored the West in making up his
cabinet in the first place, possibly his
administration would have been more
popular on this coast. At least it
would likely not have been credited
with so many mistakes.
Those democrats who believe the
maintainance ot a gold standard of
more importance tnan all other issues
are consistent in supporting McKinley
for president. And on the other hand,
republicans who believe silver should
be coined without restriction, and that
this is a question of : paramount inter
est, can only exhibit their consistency
by coming out squarely for Bryan.
There can be no middle ground on this
issue. - There is no fence to straddle
this time. Tho nomination of a gold
democratic ticket at Indianapolis or a
free coinage republican ticket would
be the height of folly. '
The "dignity" with which Major
McKinley has thusi far conducted his
campaign, or with which Marie Hanna
has conducted it for him, assumed a
rather more 'common plaee attitude
last Saturday when a few thousand
Pennsylvania protectionists went over
to Canton , to gaze upon their
'prophet," and the "dignified" candi
date actually condescended to address
the common herd for a few minutes.

Arranging for the National Convention at
Indianapolis.
Indianapolis, Aug. 25. It has been
practically settled by the executive
committee of the national democratic
party that the temporary chairman of
the convention shall be taken from the
East and the permanent chairman from
the South. Several names have been
mentioned, but the plan, it seems, is
to make -Bourke Cochran of New
York temporary chairman and Donel.
son Gallery of Louisiana -permanent
chairman. The statement made in the
East yesterday that Henry Watterson
would accept the nomination for pres
ident under certain conditions, attracts
wide attention. It is conceded that
the gold democrats of Kentucky will
be an important factor in the conven
tion, and they may be able to swing

McKINLEYS ACCEPTANCE.
AN EXPLODED IDEA.
In an address before the U. S. Grant
: club in East Portland the other day,
Wallace McComant drew a decidedly
gloomy picture of the lumberman, the
barley raiser ana tne prune grower,
all of whom he said had been ruined
by foreign competion through the re
moval of the tariff on their respective,
products. The lumber mills are closed,
he says, by the shipping in of lumber
from Canada. But he failed to give to
his hearers the benefit of the fact that
not 5 per cent of the lumber consumed
in the United States is imported from
Canada; nor did he refer to the foreign
lumber trade of the Pacific coast or
ay anything of the millions of feet
that are being shipped to South Amer
ica and Africa in direct competition
with the lumbermen of the world.
Mr. McComant also forgot to state the
facts in reference to tbe prune market
-ad let his hearers know that prunes
Differ as we may on politics, all of
Eastern Oregon and Washington too
has a common interest in the opening
of the canal and locks at the Cascades,
and on this question we can all join
hands. Let us not lose sight of this
important matter, but keep up a never
ending clamor, especially with our
senators and representatives, urging
them to insist upon the work at the
Cascades being prosecuted without
delay.
The republican press of the country
urgently advises Bryan to not make
any more speeches in New York City.
Are they afraid that he will convert
some of their forces to the cause of the
masses?
Thousands of people are availing
themselves of the free excursions to

in the nation, and a "true blue" re
publican by the way, knocks two of
he most forcible arguments of the re
publican party in the head. For three
years we have been told that tbe de
pression in business was the result of
tbe threat to establish a free-trade
policy in this country, and now a firm
advocate of the protection theory says
the depression has been universal
throughout the world, so if bis state
ments have any truth in them, tha
idea that the agitation of the free.trade
doctrine in the United States is re
sponsible for all this trouble is ex
ploded, for it is hardly reasonable.
that the adoption of a policy, which
the protectionists tell us would result
in benefit to the rest of the world,
caused such wide-spread disaster in
countries whose interests were to be
Improved by the throwing open of our
ports to their commodities.
Later, we have been told that all this
disaster Is the result of a threat to
place tbe United States upon a silver
basis, but this great financier, Mr.
The long looked for letter of Candi
date McKinley has at last been pub
lished, and the letter throughout is a
defense of the principles of protection
and the gold standard, or might more
properly be construed as an apology
for the principles which the national
republican party enunciates. The can
didate enters into a lengthly discussion
of the money question, and asserts
that the republican party favors bi
metalism, -but says it never can be ob
tained except by international agree
ment. Plainly stated, Mr. McKinley
pledges himself and his party, in case
he is elected, to fall down upon their
knees and implore the rest of the world,
and especially the countries holding
American securities, to aid us in get
ting away from gold monometalism
and place ourselves on a firm financial
basis. Virtually McKinley acknow
ledges that the single gold standard is
detrimental to the best interests of the
country, but he can only suggest an
impossible remedy for getting away
from it gaining- the consent of the
money lenders of Europe to surrender
a portion of their profits on the loans
they have extended to this country,
After thus having expressed the in.
ability of hi9 party to cope with the
money, question independent of for
eign powers, Dr. McKinley writes the
prescription which he pretends to be
lieve will cure all human ills. In this
he is like the old doctor who had but
one . remedy for all diseases, and pre?
scribed his ijour pills for all ailments.
Dp, McKinley '8 medicinp Is protection..
"Increase tbe burdens of taxation and
you will bring everything around all
right" is bis theory. But he is care
ful to not be top radical on this sub
ject, so radical as to alienate the old:
line democrats who consider gold
paramount to everything else, and he
throws out a very pretty bait for their
support. Nevertheless be could not
refrain from denouncing democratic
tariff reform, and lauding the merits
of the tariff-law which bears his
name.-"- ',' ; " -
Summed up. Major McKinlev's letter
is a confession that our present flnan-
Senator Mitchell announces that so
soon as be arranges some private busi
ness, be will be at the disposal of the
republican ' campaign committee and
will take tho stump for McKinley.
Now if the senator will lend us his ear
for a moment we will whisper some
thing to him that may be of interest.
While we have no objection to his
campaigning for McKinley, we would
impress upon his mind that the people
of Eastern Oregon have a claim upon
his services. They want the locks at
Cascades opened and they want the
portage road at that place operated.
If Senator Mitchell wants to succeed
himself, he had better look after these
matteis before be starts out in the in
terests of somebody else.
Should McKinley be elected, says
the San Francisco Examiner, the
presont vicious system will continue.
Tho bond syndicate in Wall street are
keeping quiet now, because they fear
they are not popular and might hurt
the party. But with McKinley in the
White House they would have four
years more of a stock exchange
president. At present the bond mill
is out of commission.' "The wheels of
this industry," as. Major McKinley
would Bay, are stopped, but the fire is
only banked, .and the' grist is ready
ana waiting lor the time to quote
Major McKinley again when "con
fidence is restored." That is what he
told his friends 'at Canton Saturday.
"Elect me and you will restore confi
dence." . - -
' A Murderer and a Suicide.
Lowell, Mich., Aug. 25. Charles
Church, junior member of the. private
banking-bouse of C. J. Church & 'Co.,
shot and fatally wounded his wife and
then committed suicide this morn
ing. The bank closed yesterday for
the alleged reason that it was unable
to realize upon its assets.
This morning Deputy Sheriff Cowan
called at Church's house to serve a
a writ of attachment. Church locked
the door and immediately three pistol
shots were heard. ' The door was
broken in and Mr. and Mrs. Church
were found lying on tho floor, the
former dead, the latter mortally
wounded. The elder Church had dis
appeared.
They Want McKinley.
Canton, Aug. 24 A thousand work
men from 28 potteries in East Liver
pool traveled 70 miles to call on Major
McKinley today. This glazed-ware in
dustry has been established in America
since McKinley was sent to congress
from this district 20 years ago. Chair
man W. L. Smith, Colonel J. N. Tay
lor and W. B. Blake headed the dele
gation. When they reached McKin
ley 's home there were 3000 cheering
people in the crowd.
Whitney and Yanderbllt.
Newport, R. I., Aug. 25. The wed

oldest daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Cor
nelius Vanderbilt, to Mr. Harry Payne
Whitney, the oldest son of the former
secretary of the. navy, William C.
Whitney, took place at noon today at
"The Breakers," Vanderbilt's summer
residence. . The wedding was in the
way of a disappointment to society
here, owing to its simplicity.

pf the village will foot up about $2,

THE COFFEE CROP IS DOOMED.
Weylcr Will Mot Allow It to Be
Gathered.
Madrid, Aug. 2G. According to ad
vises received here from Captain-Gen
eral Weyler in an interview has ton
firmed the report that he intends to
issue a decree ordering the suspension
of the gathering of the coffee crop,
He is quoted as admitting that this is
a grave step to take, but he claims it
is necessary in order to deprive the in
surgents of the resources upon which
they count.
The captain-general did not deny
that the suspension of field work
might swell the ranks of the in
surgents, but he insisted that this was
better than allowing the proceeds
of the crop to be used in the purchase
oi arms ana ammunition, lie ex
plained that a large quantity of arms
and ammunition was landed in Cuba
last week, and he asserted that this
could not have been dono without
money.
"Wo cannot punish the authors," he
said, "as we did in the case of tho
Competitor. We must derive the
rebels of their subsidies from tne
plantations."
Bryan at Syracuse.
Syractjse,N. Y., Aug. 20 In Han
over square, at Syracuse, 5000 people
gathered to hear Bryan. He said:
"Mr. Chairman and Fellow Citizens
In this land of ours, where the govern
ment derives its just powers from the
consent of the governed, and where an
official for a short time exercises any
authority by law, it is only fair that
those who are to choose by ballots
Baovua oe permittea to come in con
tact with those who are candidates for
so high a position, and, as in this cam
paign it is very difficult for all our peo
ple to find necessary money, either
gold or silver, to visit the candidates,
I thought it might be worth while for
the candidate to visit the people.
Then, too, I thought it might be well
for one accused of being the candidate
of a body of anarchists to show himself
in order that you may judge whether
he looks like one bent upon destroying
the government under which he lives."
Heavy Business Failure.
New Yoke, Aug. 26. Hilton,
Hughes & Company once A. T. Stew
art & Company); have made an assign
ment to G. M. Wright. Figures are
not yet obtainable. The assignment
is without preferences. Elihu Root is
attorney for the assignees.
Among the banks the failure is re.
gardedasdue to the gradual decline
of business. The firm's credit for the
last five years has been badly impaired.
It is understood that little of the firm's
single name paper is out. The firm
has been selling stock for several
weeks past, and recently was under
stood to have received about $750,000,
which has been reducing liabilities.
It is reported Siegel, Cooper & Com
pany u U take over the stock of Hilton,
Hughes & Company.
He Has Made no Campaign
Promises.

Murder.
Erie, Pa., Aug. 27. Notwithstand
ing the three long addresses and half
a dozen short speeches made yester
day, Candidate Bryan plunged into
the battle again this morning, speak
ing from tho balcony of the Reed
house to 2000 people assembled in the
street and opposite park. Mr. and
Mrs. Bryan were entertained at the
residence of Otto Gormer, a prominent
stove manufacturer, and at 10:30 a. M.
drove to tho hotel, where it was an
nounced they would hold a reception,
Bryan was escorted to the balcony
overlooking the street, where Theo
dore P. Rynder and Rev. Frank S,
Heath had been making preliminary
speeches, and received an ovation
from the crowd, in which workingmen
seemed to be in the majority.
In this speech he touched upon the
question of patronage, declaring that
none have yet approached him with
requests for office in case of his elec
tion, and he has made no promises.
He dwelt on the necessity of electing
a friendly congress as well as presi
dent to insure the victorv of free Bll-
r, and closed with an exhortation to
elect John C. Sibley to congress.
Bryan's voice was decidedly husky for
the first time since his week's rest at
Red Hook.

ing to two cablegrams received in this
city, the steamer Laurada, which
sailed from this port for Cuba, August

Bay Crrv, Mich., Aug. 20 The con
ferees appointed by the three conven
tions yesterday, reached an agreement
at 11 o'clock today. They decided that
the name at the head of the ticket

nomination for auditor-general. The
three conventions will meet in joint
convention to nominate a state ticket,
the populists and silver men together
to have a representation equal to that

A Famous Scout.
Pendleton, Or., Aug. 27. John
McBean, for 30 years interpreter at
the Umatilla Indian agency, and a
famous scout under Colonel Step toe
and General Howard, died last even
ing on the reservation. McBean was a
son of a factor in the Hudson Bay
Company in early days.
The funeral of John C. Arnold, late
surveyor-general of Oregon, was held
here today. President Royal, of the
normal school, preached the sermon
on Arnold's life and character.
Ono of the most bunglesome laws on
our statute books is that regulating
teachers' certificates, making a certifi
cate issued in one county invalid, and
the construction put upon the law. by
Superintendent Irwin, that the same
grade of certificate granted in one
county cannot be issued to the same
party in another, makes it still more
bunglesomo. For instance, an effi
cient teacher may be granted a second
grade certificate in Wasco county, but
if he desires to teach in an adjoining
county, he must secure a first grade.
The fault lies in not making certifi
cates issued in any county valid in the
entire statesince all examining boards
are supposed to be competent to judge
of a teacher's qualifications and the
lists of questions are uniform all over
the state.
Baler of Zanzibar la Dead.
Zanzibar, Aug. 25. The sultan of
Zanzibar, Hamed Bin Thwain Bin.
Said, is dead. He was about 40 years
of age, a nephew of the late 6ultan, Ali
Khalif, and Burgash, and succeeded to
the sultanate on the death of Sultan
Ali, March 5, '1893. He was one of a
number of claimants, and was selected
as the most fitting by the British gov
ernment, which exercises a protector
ate over the sultanate.

TOWX DESTROYED BY FIBZ.
Property
Ex-President Harrison and Chaun-
cey M. Depew opened the republican
campaign . in New York . yesterday.
Both confined themselves to the finan
cial and tariff questions, holding that
a gold standard and protection were
the two necessary polecies to be purr
sued in order to insure prosperity.
Both expressed great solicitude for
the welfare of the laborer and wanted
his wages paid in gold dollars or their
equivalent. It is not surprising that
General Harrison should have some
sympathy-for laborers, but when
Chauncey M. Depew seeks to pose as
the friend of labor one naturally ques
tions his sincerity. The great strike
of the employes of tbe New York Cen
tral railroad.-of which Mr. Depew to
president, Is still fresh in the minds of
working men.
Five million Dollars Worth of
Was Destroyed.
Houghton, Mich., Aug. 26 Fire
has destroyed the village of Ontona
gon. The fire originated in a swamp
just south of the Diamond Match Com
pany's mills. A 40-mile gale swept the
flames before it and the planing mills,
box factory and immense dry kilns
were soon in ashes. The flames then
descended to the business and resi
dence quarter of the city and finally
lodged in 65,000,000 feet of sawed lum
ber on the dock. -
The destruction of the village was
complete, barely a dozen houses re
maining standing. The onslaught of
the flames was so sudden that barely
one in twenty succeeded in saving any
of their effects. The heat was so in
tense the people were compelled to
seek: shelter under the trees and drift
wood along the lake shore. Manv of
them walked to Rockland, 15 miles
away.
There are about 1800 men, women
and children without food or shelter.
Many insufficiently clothed, suffered
severely last night. The Diamond
Match Company lost Its mills and

A Bullet In His Br
Astoria, Or., Aug. 27 John Sven-
son, a fisherman, was found dead at
Clifton this morning, with a bullet
wound in his breast. At first It was
thought Svenson committed suicide,
but Coroner Font's investigation now
makes it appear that it was a case of
murder instead. Svenson was tbe keep
er of tbe scow from which a woman
and two men, whose dead bodies were
afterward found, disappeared during
the fisherman's strike, a few months
ago. It Is surmised that Svenson knew
something of the murderers of these
people, and, under tho stimulus of the
reward offered by the county court,
was about to make some damaging dis
closures, and benco his taking off.
The Knights of Pythias.
Cleveland, Aug. 27. The supreme
