bers being in line
Six years ago, when D. P. Thomp
son was a candidate on the republican
ticket for governor of Oregon, in the
eyes of the Oregonian, he was the per
sonification of republicanism. Now,
since Mr. Thompson has found by tray;
eling through Japan, that a people can
be prosperous without a gold standard,
the Oregonian says be "is simuly a
populist politician, who sees every
thing with the populist's glass eyes."
Only a few years ago, according to the
same authority, President Garfield was

We live in a country of which", the
principal scourge is stomach-trouble.
It is more wide-spread than any
other disease, and, very nearly, more
dangerous.
One thing that makes it so danger
ous is that it is so little understood.
If it were better understood, it would
be more feared, more easily cured, less
universal than it is now.
So, those who wish to be cured, take
Shaker Digestive Cordial, because it
goes to the root of the trouble as no
other medlcinedoes. The pure, harm
less, curative herbs and plants, of
which it is composed, are what render
it so certain and, at the same time, so
gentle a cure. .
It helps and strengthens the stomach,
purifies and tones up the system.

A Drug Factory.
The proposition- agitated by the
druggists of the st ite some time ago,
having for its object the establishment
of a co-operative factory for the manu
facture of proprietary medicines was
discussed at some length at the meet
ing of the state pharmaceutical assocta
tion held in Portland last week. Sev
eral such factories being in successful
operation in the. pastern states, most
of the druggists present favored the
project, and a committee of three was
appointed to further look into the feasi
bility of such an undertaking. Under
the proposed plan it is intended to
keep at home the thousands of dollars
that annually go to the patent medi
cine barons of the east. The plan is
for all the druggists in the state, to be
come stockholders in the establish
ment and thereby jointly share the
profits.

The Financial Question Clearly Presented
by Mr. Butler.
The most logical argument yet pre'
sen ted to the people of The Dalles on
the financial Question during ibe
campaign was contained in Hon. N
L. Butler's speech at the Baldwin
opera house Wednesday. Mr. Butler
is by no means a sensational speaker
but presents facts In a plain, cool and
deliberate manner that carries convic
tion. "
In his opening remarks, Mr. Butler
dwelt at some length upon the re
sponsibility of the voter in determining
questions of national policy, holding
that each individual was a sovereign
in himself, and whether government
was good or bad depended upon the in
tellig'ent, honest or patriotic exercise
of the right of suffrage by the indl
vidual voter. Commenting on the ar
guments adduced by the supporters of
Mr. McKinley, the speaker said they
were appeals to the prejudice and
greed of classes, not a patriotic appeal
to the masses, or a promise of legisla
tion that would be beneficial to the
whole oeople.
Entering into a discussion of the
money question, by a clear and con
vincing source of reasoning he proved
that the prices of the products of labor
were governed by the volumn of basic
money in circulation, as this is
contracted, prices must necessarily
fall, and as it increases prices will rise,
That the volume of basic money was
contracted by the demonetization of
silver, he thought there could be no
question, and that silver was demone'
tixed he showed from the. wording of
the coinage law which says the "stand
ard silver dollar shall be a legal tender
for all debts public and private except
when otherwsse specified," which
gives the creditor the right to desig
nate the class of money in which his
security shall be paid. Thus to the
creditor is extended a power that the
constitution delegates exclusively to
congress to "coin money and regulate
the value thereof." Extending to the
creditor the riptit of specific contract,
whereby be could refuse the tender of
any class of money issued by the gov
ernment is, he said, a destruction of
the legal tender powers of that money,
makes it only a token, removes from it
its powers as a measure of . value, and
sends it out to circulate and perform
functions which it does not possess,
therefore this ban placed upon all of
our silver and paper issue left gold
a'one the bassic money of the country
and contracted the money of ultimate
redemption down to the actual supply
of gold in stock. . Therefore tho only
real money there is in the United
States today or at any time si ace 1873
is the gold coin, hence1 it is that the
supply of real money has been dimin
ished, the demand for it has become
great, consequently the price of all
other commodities measured in the
metal that is both scarce and in great
demand, has fallen and will continue
to fall as the demand for gold Increases.
This contraction of primary money,
the speaker held was the cause of the
depressed state of business today, and
not the changes that have been made
in the tariff by recent legislation.
Were this not true there should have
been no increase of business failures
in 1892 over those of the two succeed
ing years. 1 Were this not true the
woolen mills of America should all be
running on full time today instead of
lying idle, for they are given free raw
material and a protection on their
finished goods of from 20 to 40 percent,
thus giving to them .the markets of
the worldas a field in which to sell their
products.- The reason they are not
running today is that they have been
deprived to a great extent of the home
market, by the producers of the country
not being able to buy their products..
Because of the fall in prices of the
products of labor through a contrac
tion off the currency, the real pro
ducers, the farmers and labors, are no
longer able to buy. This Mr. Butler
held was tne cause of present depres
sions, and could only be remedied by
an increase in tho real money of the
country, and since the production of
gold was inadequate to the demand,
in order to effect this increase we must
look to silver
In answer to the contention that sil
ver will not be accepted, the speaker
Insisted that any money to which the
government had given full legal tender
powers in the past had been accepted,
and in the light of history there was
no foundation for the claim that it
would not be accepted today.
Mr. Butler's speech was attentively
listened to by the large audience that
was present, and the telling argu
ments he-produced bad a marked effect
upon those who heard him. A Chica
go sheep buyer -who was among the
audience, said after the meeting had
dispersed, that it was the fairest and
ablest presentation of the silver ques
tion he bad ever heard, being stripped
of all superfluity and confined to real
and undispuiable facts.

CATCHING AT STRAWS.
Oar Republican Contemporary Trie to
Work np a "Boomerang.'
When argument fails, an appeal to
prejudice is resorted to by at least
some of the managers of McKinley's
campaign. As evidence we submit the
follow! rg from yesterday's Chronicle:
The Hon. F. X. Schoonmaker of
New Jersey, who speaks in The Dalles
on the 20th, is looked upon as the
ablest exponent of the financial ques
tion who is likely to appear on the
Pacific coast. Ue has gone deeply
into the matter and is a specialist up
on tnat question, ine repuDiicans
who have carried on a perfectly fair
campaign up to date, are deeply grieved
that the other side has seen fit to at
tempt to draw the people away from
him by putting up on the same night
one of the most sensational speakers,
Pitchfork Tillman, of South Carolina,
who for curiosity .alone, to see and
hear a genuine anarchibt, many would
naturally go to see. The effort ought
to prove a boomerang. . We believe
that the fair-minded and thinking
public will see this scheme in its true
light, and choose to bear wisdom in
stead of the fiery words of anarchy."
What an awful "boomerang" this
will prove when tho facts are investi
gated. Here they are: When Senator
Tillman was billed to speak in The
Dalles, on October 20, that date was
not taken by Mr. Schoonmaker or any
other republican speaker so far as the
Bryan campaign committee was in
formed. In fact all of his dates had
been declared off in. Oregon, as is
shown by the following announcement
which appeared in The Dalles Chron
icle of the 13th: -
"Schoonmaker' a Dates Cancelled.'
The following telegram is self-ex
planatory:
"Pobtlbnd, Oct. 13, 1896.
M. A. Moody, The Dalles, Or.:
"Regret cancellation by the national
committee - of all ' scboonmakei s
Oregon appointments. SOL Hiksch.
"Nothing further is known than the
mere announcement stated in tho
telegram." .
Acting upon this information, the
local committee here notified the
committee in Portland that a date
could be made for Senator Tillman in
The Dalles on the 20th, and on the
morning of the 14th the date was fixed
for Senator Tillman. The local Bryan
ommlttee had no - information that
Mr. Schoonmaker would be in The
Dalles on the 20th until 3 o'clock P. M.
on tho 14th, when a . prominent re
publican of this city brought to the
Times-Mountaineer office the follow
ing announcement and requested that
it be published: "Hon, F. X. Schoon
maker, an eastern speaker sent out by
the republican national committee,
will speak at The Dalles on Tuesday,
Oct. 20th at 8 P. M." .
' Many hours had elapsed between the
making of the date for Senator Till
man and the receipt of information
that Mr. Schoonmaker would be here;
in fact, when his date was made it was
supposed all of Schoonmaker's' dates
in Oregon had been cancelled,' so if
there is any attempt to "draw people
away" it is on the- part of the republi
can managers in supplying a date af tec
they had cancelled it.
However, people who live in "glass
houses" should not be too ready to
throw stones. tIf they are conducting
such an immaculately fair campaign
and would under no circumstance at
tempt to run one of their speakers in
on a date taken by' the other sideshow
does it occur that Hon. Rufus Mallory
is billed to speak here on Nov. 2? On
Sept. 23 an advertisement was inserted
in the Times-Mountaineer announc
ing that H. L. Barclay would speak in
The Dalles on that date, and this ad
vertisement has. appeared in every
usue of both the daily and weekly
since Sept. 23. Wonder if the fair
minded voters won't see a little
"scheme" in this?
The District Fair.
From the preparations being made
for the district fair which opens here
on Tuesday of next week it is evident
that this meeting will be more interet
ing than any yet held. The exhibit of
agricultural and horticultural products
at the opera bouse will certainly be ex
tensive, since many farmers and
orchardists have signified their inten
tions to make exhibits, and a number
of' The Dalles merchants will make
displays of their wares in the hall. The
stock exhibits at the grounds will also
be good, as a large number of animals
both from this and Crook county will
be entered. As to the racing it will
be such as to attract the attention of
all admirers of fine horses. Some of
the best runners in tho country will
contest for the purses.
However, while the success of the
ftir is assured, ' it can be made the
more attractive by farmers and fruit
raisers from all sections bringing in
large quantities of their products, as
there is no possibility of the exhibit
in these lines being too great.

" Mitchell at Dnf nr.
The I. O. O. F. hall at Dufur was
filled to its utmost capacity yesterday
afternoon with an audience, divided
about equally between supporters of
Bryan and McKinley, to listen to Sen
ator John H. Mitchell advocate the
cause of republicanism. It is scarcely
necessary to report what the senator
said at Dufur, since his address there
was almost a reproduction of his speech
delivered in The Dalles on the 2d.
The senator was interrupted a nunvber
of times by questions, and displayed
some anger when asked how he would
vote on a free coinage measure if he
should be returned to the senate, re
plying that it was McKinley, not him
self, who was the issue at present.
Whether the senator made any con
vers at Dufur for the cause of McKin
ley cn be judged from the fact that
shortly after his meeting closed three
members of the McKinley club re
signed and declared their intention to
vote for Bryan. .
