Anderson of Dufur, one of the leading republi cans of the county, had determined to support the democratic national ticket. the Times-Mountaineer addressed a letter to Mr. Anderson, asking him to give his reasons for so doing, and re ceived the following answer, bearing date of August 20th: Editor Times-Moukta INEER : Thanks for your invitation. You were rightly informed; I am for Wm J. Bryan and will work and vote for him. Having been a delegate to every re publican county convention in this county for fourteen years, I believe an explanation is due to those who have repeatedly honored me, ( not to the 'Bosses" for never yet have I asked their consent to state or county con vention ). It is to the plain, honest re publicans from the country districts to whom I would speak, but not apologize. I believe in the free coinage of sil ver, 16 to 1, as I believe that will come nearer to the world's ratio than any other. I believe that the class that began the demonitization of silver by the act of '73, did it intentionally and threw aside all party lines to accomplish their ends, and that tho same class are lay. ing aside party lines in '96 to prevent its remonitization and that McKinley is their "prophet." I believe a "poor man has as much right to lay aside party lines, tempor arily or permanently for his interests, as has a 'millionaire. So far as protection is concerned, it is not the issue, cannot be made tho issue, and under present circumstan ces, with a silver majority in the sen ate, McKinley's election would only result in both the tariff and financial questions remaining unsettled for four years more, while with Bryan, we will have a chance to try silver and test its workings. With a copy of the leading custom duties under the "McKinley" and 'Wilson'' bills before me, I have grave doubts if a majority of voters could tell one from the other, providing the titles were concealed and the wool schedule out of sight, and in both bills the man ufacturer has the big end of the bargain. Nor can I see but wool would have equally as good, if not a better, chance under Bryan, a western man, as it would under McKinley, should tariff revision be seriously attempted, which is very improbable during the next four years. Though having carefully studied both sides of this question to the best of my ability, I have not reached the cranky point of some, silver advo cates to claim that "free coinage" will make good times at once, and possibly not soon, for every effort -will be made by those having the gold to make times hard and money scarce, that the people may change and again demand the gold standard but should Bryan be elected, it will at once prove beyond a doubt that the millionaire cannot dictate to the people and that in itself would be a great victory, and should it, after sufficient test, be proven that the people were mistaken, they will know they don't have to consult Wall street to get permission to rectify their error. I am a republican, but when the party and parties draw the lines be tween the interests of the laboring class and the "kid-glove-brigade," I am unfortunate enough to belong to the former and shall vote with my class for Bryan and Sewall. Milt. j. Anderson. his every want and silently watching the approach of the inevitable separa tion. Eis old friend and companion, Charles Schultz, was the first to reach Mr. Closter after the rash attempt he made to end his life, and was con tinuously by the suffering man's Bide till the end came, he being alone with Mr. Closter at the time of his death. With the death of Mr. Closter ends a page in the history of The Dalles. For 33 years he had made this city his home, and no more familiar face ap peared upon the streets than his, nor no more generous soul ever claimed this as his abiding place. He was a friend to the needy, a father to the fatherless. By his good and generous deeds he left an endearing name that will survive through this generation and merit a crown of reward in the future. 'Tia sad indeed that he should have Bought self destruction, still possibly it is best, since none can read aright the motives that lead brave and generous hearts to seek the final end. Nothing was found among his papers to indicate why he had tired of life, only two letters having been left which show he desired his property should go to one whom he had be friended In an hour of need.

If you have ever seen a little child in the agony of snmmer complaint you can realize the danger of the trouble and ap preciate the value of instantaneous relief always afforded by Dc Witt's Colic 4 Cholera Cure. For dysentary and diarrhoea it is a reliable remedy. We could not afford to recomend this as a cure unless it were a cure. Snipes & Kinersly Drug Co. Suicided Bather Than Starve. On the evening of the 14th D. L. Patee, an old resident of Crook county, was found dead in his house ono and one-fourth miles from Prinoville. Mr. Patee had boon unablo to work for several years and had been reduced to straightened circumstances. Recently he had applied to the county court of Crook county for aid, but assistance had not been granted. He had noth ing to eat, and being unable to earn anything with which to procure food, evidently became dispondent and took his own life. When found he was. ly ing on the bed, a bullet hole in his head and a Winchester rifle by his side. Evidently he had been dead at least 24 hours when found. He was a carpenter by trade, and about 20 years ago resided in Tho Dalles, leaving here he went to Prineville where he has since resided. Special Kates. As there will be numerous requests for reduced rates on account of polit ical meetings during the coming con test it has been decided that in order to treat all parties alike, a one fare rate will be made by the O. R. & N. Company for various meetings of this character. This of course, is intended only for occasions where there is suffi cient number to justify a reduction in rates. This is done so that there will be no partiality in favor of any one party. E. E. Lytle, dtf Agent. Don't trifle away time when you have cholera morbus or diarrhoea. Fight them in the beginning with De Witt's Cholic & Cholera Cure. You don't have to wait for results, they are instantaneous and it leaves the bowels in healthy con dition. Snipes AKinersly Drug Co.

" Should auld acquaintance be forgot, And ne'er be brought to mind ; Should auld acquaintance be forgot, And the days of auld lang syne." The Oregon Editors.

Miss Michell of this city, was elected an alternate dele gate to the national convention of editors. A Resident of That Country Shows How Free Coinage Operates. Some time since F. J. Toussaint, of Sonora, Mexico, visited Spokane, and on his return to Sonora, addressed the following letter to Dr. J. M. Boyd, in answer to a request that he eive his opinion of free coinage in that country, its effect upon business, as compared with business in the United States. Mr. Toussaint says: "You wished me to tell you what I think of unlimited free coinage of sil ver, and in answer I will say that I will not say what I think, but state a few facts as I know them to exist, and let you do tho thinking. Before the appreciation of gold our Mexican dol lar was worth within a few cents as much as your United States dollar. Now one dollar of United States money is worth 182 cents of Mexican money. On the face of it this looks like a good gold standard argument, and is often resorted to by gold standard men. But let me tell you what it has dono for Mexico. It has reduced the Mexican national debts four-fifths of its original amount. Such a thing as a business failure is almost unknown, and the country today is by long odds in better shape than it ever was. And these are the reasons: Up to tho time that goldappreciated Mexico bought one-half of its necessaries and luxuries of life from tliu United States. The other half it procured Irom its own re sources and from other countries. We liked your woolen goods, we liked your prints, your flour, your furniture, your building materials, machinery and hardware, but we sould not afford to pay 182 cents for every dollar's worth wo wanted. For example, if we got a hat at $3, it meant three times $1.S2, and an additional duty, amounting in all to about $5.73. Wo had to look to other fields of production. We tried the foreign countries, but could not satisfy ourselves that that was the best, so we coihmoncod resorting to Mexico's unlimited resources, and now we are producing our own wheat, rye, etc., and have put up mills to caind our own breadstuff's. We have our own sheep, and raise our wool, which we run through our own eoolen mills. We raise our own cotton, and have cotton mills. We have ur own saw mills and shingle mills, and if, in some states we have no timber, we buy the rough lumber in the United States and work it up into sash, doors, blinds and furniture in our country, giving our people employment and depriving your skilled labor of just so many days' work, which means just so many dol lars.' "That is not all nor the best we do. We already, in many cases, turn out a surplus which we put on the market in other countries, and we sell in just the same territory that you sell or used to sell in. We can and do sell some of our products to the United States at a profit after paying the duty. "You have compelled Mexico to re sort to its own resources. It has done so, and see the result of these few years. Continue your gold standard for another 10 years and we will astonish you. "You may ask how can itbe stopped? Free silver will stop it, by imaking the Mexican money worth as much in bull ion value as yours. You woijld then have the advantage of superior skill and the greater productiveness of American labor. Owing to certain conditions, brought about mostly by climati j influences, the Mexican peo ple are not as productive nor skilled workmen as the Americans."

Jocelvn, now of Colorado Springs, Colorado, pioneers of Oregon. The event was arranged and carried out as a surprise to the visiting pioneers. Among the first arrivals was Mrs. Mary J. Atwell, of Cascade Locks, who settled at her present home on the Columbia forty four years ago today, and at whose frontier log cabin Mrs. Jocelyn was a guest on March - 2o, 18o6, when the Indians made that famous outbreak that gave Lieut. Phil. Sheridan his Oregon war experience. The little river steamer "Mary" had escaped, under a storm of bullets, from her an chorage near the present site of Steven son, with barely sumcient fuel to get across the river to Atwell's, where the women and children, including Mrs. Atwell and Mrs. Jocelyn, were taken aboard, and the rails from around the little clearing were thrown aboard the steamer for fuel to last the trip up the river' to safety at The Dalles, then a military post. Frontier reminiscences were of course in order, and thoroughly enjoy ed by all. Mr. and Mrs. S. L. Brooks, were the earliest Oregon pioneers present, dat ing 1850. The Jocelyns, Mrs. Atwell and Mrs. Camilla Donald were of 1852. Light refreshments were served, and throughout, a very pleasant even ing was had. Those present were: Mrs. Sarah E. Funk,. Mrs. Charles B. Ousting; Mrs. Mary Jane Atwell, of Cascade Locks; Miss Emma Roberts, Mrs. Daniel H. Roberts, Mrs. Camilla T. Dorm ell, Mrs. J. B. Condon, Mr. and Mrs. Bela S.

His visit here w&s much of a success and resulted in large accessions to the local lodge. Mr. Herrin not only endeared himself to members of the order while here, but also made many friends among our citizens and business men with whom he came in contact. He is of an un usually agreeable nature, which no doubts accounts in part for his success in nis cnosen neid oi work, and is a person whom one is always glad to have met.

John Mi chell we are permitted to publish the following letter from Senator Mitchell, also one from the acting chief engineer with reference to the Cascade Locks: Portland, Or., August 24, 189e Hon. John Michell, The Dalles. My Dear Sir: On my arrival in Port land this morning from the east, I find yours of the 14th inst. awaiting me, calling my attention to the unseemly delay in putting in the necessary walls at the Cascades to -justify the immedi ate opening of the locks. I gave this matter my very best attention in the way of urging speedy action upon the part of the war department and the contractors before leaving Washing ton, and while there has been, as it seems to me, much unnecessary delay, I am gratified to be able to say to you and to the people of Eastern Oregon, all of whom are so deeply interested in the early opening of the locks, that just before leaving Washington I re ceived a communication from the act ing chief engineer of which the in closed is a copy, which explains the situation fully so far as I am advised in reference to it. From this It seems that we have good reason to hope that by the 1st of October at latest the canal and locks will be open to nav igation, I am, ' Yours very sincerely, John H. Mitchell.

In two weeks after commencement it is con sidered that the work will be so far advanced as to permit the safe opera tion of the canal. Very respectfully, your obedient servant, A.
