A Prominent Republican Tells Why He
Will Support Them.
Having heard that M. J. 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.

For 33 years he had made this city his

no more generous soul ever claimed

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

future. 'Tia sad indeed that he should

possibly it is best, since none can read
aright the motives that lead brave

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

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.

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,

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."

Friday night the hospitable doors of
the home of Mr. and Mrs. S. L. Brooks
were thrown open to the old-time
friends of Hon. and Mrs. E. D. 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

A. O. U. W. for this district, last even

He will pay official visits to the lodges
at Pendleton and other Umatilla
county towns before returning to his
home at The Dalles. 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

SENATOR MITCHBXI. INTERKSTED
He Kxpreases Himself Hopeful of an Early
Completion of the Locks
By the courtesy of Hon. 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.

Sib: Referring to the inquiry con
tained In your letter of the 3d instant,
as to the present state of the work on
the Cascade Locks and the prospects
of an early openi ng of the canal, I beg
to advise you that the project for the
expenditure of the money available
has just been approved by the secretary
of war, and it is thought by the officer
in charge that the work cannot be
done economically until the water
reaches its low stage, probably about
the middle of September. 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. Mackenzie,
Acting Chief of Engineers.
