Political parties are organized and
should be maintained to serve the Iwst
interests of the people, but people
should not serve parties. No man
should' allow his partisanship to pre
dominate over his good judgment and

principles be :anu0t endorse,he should
discard that party and support the one
that voices his sentiments. The safe

When wear begins to exceed repair
in your body you are going to fall sick.
The signs of it are? loss of flesh, pale
ness, weakness, nervousness, etc. The
repair needed is food. You think you
eat enough, and yet you feel that you
wear out more tissue, energy, nerve'
force, than your food makes for you
The difficulty is that you do not digest
enough. And this is so serious it is
worth sitting down spriously to think
about. If you can't digest what you
eat, take a few doses of Shaker DigeS'

LOGIC IN POLITICS.
TBE LOCKS WILL OPEX
As usual the Oregon ian correspond
ent resorted to his rubber string in
reporting -the political meetings in
this city last night. He had a proces
sion five blocks long following Ellis
through the streets (when by actual
count there were just 79 men and boys
' in line) and 1,200 in the hall listning
to the speaker, while only 500 heard
Judge Hurley. People who attended
the meetings can readily see how badly
the correspondent's rubber string was
stretched.

There will be a meeting of the Bryan
club held at the Baldwin opera house
tomorrow (Saturday) evening at 7:30
o'clock. The attendance of every
member of the club is earnestly re
quested. A gentleman who is over from
Goldendale today says Young's rink
was filled with people last night to
hear Judge Turner. His speech was
a very able one and had a telling effect
on the voters.
Why Bhould a business man pay
twenty dollars a year for an accident
policy when he can get fraternalism
and a policy that will protect him as
well in the Maccabes for fifty cents per
month.' Think over it!
It is unfair and unjust to question a
man's honesty on account of his polit
ical beliefs. We believe that every
voter will next Tuesday cast his vote
for the policy he believes will be to the
best interest of the country, and he
should without fear and without pre
judice. Republican headquarters in Port
land fix McKinley's maximum majority
at 8,775 and his minimum majority at
2,125. Bryan headquarters are certain
of the state by at least 3,500. Tbe re
publicans claim all but eight of the
counties, and tbe Bryan committee all
but six.
When the waters of the Columbia

be unlocked next Thursday. Why
should not Tbe Dalles be happy?
Miss DeSheal, of Washington, D. C..
who is preparing the manuscript for a
history of the Northwest, spent several
days in the city the guest of Miss
Helm. While here she visited Celilo
and many other points of interest along
tbe river. This morning she left on
the Regulator for Portland, and will
make notes of tbe Columbia river
scenery. . .
Remember that Hon. L. H. Barkley,
of Salem, will speak in the Baldwin
next Monday night. Mr. Barkley was
elected to the legislature by the repub
licans of Marion county last June, and
has been a republican all his life, but
rejects the St. Louis platform. He is
one of the most eloquent speakers and
logical reasoners in the state. People
from far and near are invited to hear
him.
Dr.' J. G. Day, of Cascade Locks,
came up on the local and returned
home on the afternoon train. Dr. Day
says everything will be in readiness
for the opening of the locks next
Thursday, and the contractors invite

The Good News Has Keen Received That
They Are Finished at Last.
Sound the glad tidings throughout
the land that the big gates in the canal
at Cascade Locks will be swung open
on Thursday, Nov. 5, at 2 P. M., and
that at that hour the first boat ever to
come from the lower to the upper river
wiU pass through the canal; that there
will no longer be an obstruction to the
navigation of the great Columbia from
The Dalles to the sea; that the fetters
that have bound Eastern Oregon and
retarded its progress will be severed
This news wa received Thursday
in a dispatch from Capt. Fisk, en
gineer in charge of the government
work at the Cascades, to N. Whealdon
of the Commercial Club's committee on
commerce. For twenty years The
Dalles has waited for these glad tid
ings, and now that our fond hope seems
sure to be realized, is an event over
which all feel elated. Old men who
have grown gray in waiting seemed to
have called back ten, yes twenty years
of their lives and assumed tbe buoyancy
of youth. Even in these exciting
times of political strife, politicians laid
aside parcisnn ship for the time and
united in the general good cheer. Go
where you would on the street, and all
you could hear was "the locks wil
open next'Thursday." All The. Dalles
is happy over tbe news, and tbe com
mittees in charge of the celebration
will begin with renewed efforts to
make it the grandest event that ever
has or ever will occur in Eastern Ore
gon. .
Queer Use of a Trank
The passengers on the Regulator
were treated to a sensation Wednesday
just before the boat left her landing at
Cascade Locks. A woman by the
name of Baker had boarded tbe steam
er Dalles City at Cape Horn, in Clark
county, and was transferred around the
portage to' the Regulator. She had
with her a large trunk, and.soon after
she had gone aboard toe Regulator, a
man, accompanied by the constable of
Cascade Locks, also stepped on board
and requested Mr. Baker to give him
the key to her trunk that he might ex
amine its contents. ' Mrs. Baker was
immediately siezei with an .attack of
hysteria, but gave up tbe key, and
while she was bewailing her fate, the
.officer proceeded to examine the trunk.
In it he found what he was searching
for. Instead of the regulation ward
robe carried around by ladies in their
trunks was a set of team harness.
The man from Clark county took his
harness and departed, tbe boat blew
its whistle and left, and through the
vigorous application of restoratives
by the passengers,' Mrs. Baker's hys-
steria subsided. She continued on the
boat to Viento, where- she was put
ashore to mourn the loss of the stolen
property. It appears the man from
Clark county had missed his harness,
and on Mrs. Brker's departure sus
picioned she had them, hence he fol
lowed up and recovered the stolen
goods.
Ought to Be Repealed.
We are creditably informed that on
the ordinance book of The Dalles, the
statute, of tbe city, is an ordinance
providing for licensing tbe running of
wheels cf fortune on the streets'. Such
is ' certainly contrary to public
good and in violation of the statutes
of the state. Gambling is recognized
as a violation of law, and any city cor
poration that encourages gambling, by
licensing gambling devices on the
streets becomes a violator of the law
itself. A wheel of fortune is certainly
a gambling device, and of the worst
kind, while it appears to be fair, it is
directly tbe opposite. One has but to
watch tbe one that has been operated
on the streets here to be convinced
that it is wholly under the control of
the man who' operates it, since by
pressing against tbe box on which it
sits he can stop-the-needle wherever
he ' chooses. - and there is not one
chance in fifty for the victim to win.
The city council will serve the com
munity well if it immediately repeals
the ordinance which pretends to li
cense open gambling on the streets.
There are houses in the city where
gambling can be kept away from pub
lic gaze, and in these, if gambling
must be carried on, it should be confined.
. To SeU the Short Line.
A press dispatch today says: The
American Loan and Trust Company
has filed its application for permission
to foreclose and sell tbe Oregon Short
Line and Utah Northern road This is
virtually the first important step taken
looking to the sale of the Short Line
and its divorce from tbe Union
Pacific system. The reorganization
committee of the Short Line was
formed several months ,ago, and it
is generally conceded that it has made
such progress that, after the granting
of the petition of tbe trust company,
the road will be foreclosed at once and
bid in by the bondholders, and the re
organization plans will be put into
operation. It is asserted that the date
for its leaving the Union Pacific is set
for January 1.
The special Chicago dispatch pub
lished in yesterday's Daily Chronicle,
we brand ss abase fabrication, intend
ed to mislead voters and make them
believe Bryan's supporters are disloyal
to the flag. The people wbo tore down
the flags in Chicago were hired to do
so by Mark Han na.
Jnilg-e Hurley Presented a Forcible Argn
rnent for Sllvrr.
That there is a logical reason for
tbe free and unrestricted coinage of
silver, not only by tho United States,
but by the entire world, was proved
beyond contradiction by Judge M. A
Hurley in his speech in the Baldwin
opera house Tuesday night.
Before submitting a synopsis of
Judge Hurley's speech, it is probably
well that tbe reader knows who he is,
and what he has been. Judge Hurley
has for 25 years been one of the lead
ing attorneys of W isconsin, but for the
past year has resided in California,
having an office in Mills building, San
Francisco. Besides his law practice.
he has large interests in the iron
mines of Wisconsin and gold mines of
California. Since his majority he has
been a republican, has been a leader
of that party in his native state, and
never refused to support the nominees
of the republican party for political
offices, until the national convention
at St. I.ouis adopted a platform, which
be declares favors a single gold stand'
ard.
This, Judge Hurley declared, was a
deviation from the time-bone red prin
ciples of the republican party, which
he proved by quoting from the national
platforms of 1888 and 1892 and also
from speeches of Blaine, Ingalls,
Major McKinley and numerous other
leaders of the party. The speaker
then took up the history of finance,
as told by tbe history -of tbe world
from the early ages to the present, and
showed that both silver and gold had
been recognized as money metals; that
they had circulated side by side at a
ratio commensurate with the supply of
each until, by legislation, man bad dis
criminated against one and in favor of
the other. From historical quotations
he proved that during the period from
1816, when England contracted her
currency, to 1848, when the gold mines
of California and Australia began
pouring their trersures into her cof-
fures, widespread disaster prevailed in
great Britain, the prices of commodi
ties fell and the lands of that country
fell into the hands of the few.
Following up this he quoted from
tbe coinage laws of the United States,
showing that the silver dollar was
made the unit of value in this country
until 1873, when the gold dollar was
substituted in a bill prepared by
Senator Sherman, and convinced his
hearers that that bill was passed
through both houses of congress with
out a majority of the congressmen or
senators knowing its exact purport.
and even without President . Grant
knowing its full meaning, since in 1878
he recommended the establishment of
another mint to coin sufficient silver
with which to meet tbe requirements
of the nation when specie payment
should be resumed.
Continuing through a resume of tbe
coinage laws, he showed that every
time a law was passed discriminating
against silver, the circulating medium
of the country was diminished, and the
prices of all commodities that are the
result of labor had fallen correspond
ingly with the price of silver.
Referring to the tariff, he insisted
that it nnnld have no place in a oresi-
dential campaign. . Congress alone
has the power to regulate tariff and
raise revenue; tbe president has neither
voice nor power to fix schedules or
pass laws for taxation, therefore if any
community or section desires that any
product be protected by tbe imposition
of a tariff duty, it was its privilege
to choose congressmen who were '
favorable to a duty on tbe article sought .
t . j, s I 1 1
w oe proiecieu. vregou uas it.roauy wajJ devoted to
chosen two congressmen pledged to
protection for her products, therefore
the question : o( tariff cannot enter
into the campaign for president in this
i state. As to the proposition of Mr.
McKinley to open the mills by a system
of protection, the speaker held that
this would be impossible unless tbe
mill owners were supplied with money
on which to operate, and the- consum
ers were afforded an opportunity . to
earn money with which to buy the
output of the mills
In conclusion, Judge Hurley stated
that be was not campaigning in the
hire of any joinmittee, but in the inter
est of the American people and for his
own individual interest. He wanted
the people to be made prosperous,
though having a sufficient amount of
circulating medium on which to trans
act business, in order that they could
purchase the output of his iron mines
in Wisconsin, so that they could hire
his services as an attorney in case cir
cumstances should demand them.
For three hours Judge Hurley held
the undivided attention of his audience,
and by his clear.logical reasoning con
vinced many that silver must be res
tored as a primary money before pros
perity can prevail in this country
voters to stand up for American inde
pendence the same as did the revolu
tionary fathers.
Hardly bad the applause Mr. Noland
eceived at the close of his address
subsidod, when Chairman Story aro?e
and iutreduced our fellow townsman
Hon. A. S. Bennett. Tbe ovation ho
received was deafening. It was fully
five minutes before the enthusiasm
died down so that tbe speaker's voice
could be heard.' The judge began his
address with the quotation: " 'Mid
pleasure and palaces, wherever I roam
be it ever so humble, there's no place
like home." A burst of applause again
broke forth, and when quiet was
restored, the judge reciied the inci
dents of his campaign through parts of
this state and Washington, but he had
not met any audience that gave him
so much pleasure to address as tbe one
before him, composed of his neighbors
and friends, and he would talk to them
as a neighbor..
The present ' campaign he said was
indeed peculiar, one in which the
producers and laborers, regardless of
former party affiliation, were arraigned
aerainst the non-producers, those who
lived and grew rich off the needs of
others. The issue in this campaign he
asserted was the money question
hence that was tbe question to which
the greatest attention must be given.
The people must judge and decide be
tween a money that was dear and one
that was cheap, a money that reduced
prices, or a money that would raise
prises. His position was that with tbe
demonetization of silver by tbe United
States in 1873,-' followed by Germany,
France and the Latin Union, prices of
every class of property but money be
gan to decline, and as each nation
struck down silver, thereby contract
ing its money and increasing the de
mand for gold, prices fell gradually,
and culminated with the panic of 1893,
immediately upon the closing of the
India mints.
In reference to the claim that the re
duction of the tariff by this country in
1894 was responsible for the hard times
that had their beginning in 1873, he
showed that to be utterly impossible.
With one accord all who beard
Judge Bennett's speech acknowledged
it was one of the ablest presentations
of tbe money question they had -ever
heard, while Mr. Smith's and Mr. No
land's were also well received, though
owing to their time being limited they
were unable to go into details so
thoroughly as did Judge Bennett.
At tbe close of the meeting three
rousing cheers were given for Bryan
and three for the speakers of the even
ing.
The large audience gave each of the
speakers undivided' attention, and the
enthusiasm displayed evidenced the
fact that the sentiment for Bryan is
steadily growing in The Dalles, and
many advocates of silver are feeling
confident thatr the - city will give a
majority against McKinley . next
Tuesday. , .
I stat nin fifir.n thrirm !
By Joaquin Miller, the Poet of the Sierra
My country, has it come to pass
That Brlttsn greed and British gold
Have won where word and blazing brass
Won not la during days of old?
Dare Wall-street Arnolds walk abroad
Where stands old Wall-street's Washington,
And taunt us? In the name of God,
'What have we done? What have we done?
What have we done but toll and bleed
And battle down the border lands
And widen worlds for Wall-street greed
With dauntless hearts and horny hands? -
I think the time has come to say.
Stay hand, you Tories, Arnolds, stay.
Stay hand, stay tongue, stay brazen throat;
And if brave Britain is more dear
To Tories there than Patriots here.
Why, Tories, Traitors, take tbe boat !
Who made this land? Who hewed the way
From Allegheny's stony steeps
To where Sierra's pine-tops play.
And plunge to Balboa's boundless deeps?
Why, silvered heroes, men who knew
Such daring as shall never die;
Such daring as the dauntless few
Who smote your British hip and thigh.
While you. you sat and gathered gold '
Or passed your cunning years abroad.
And, taunting, sneering, bought and sold
The very blood that drenched our sod.
My God ! And now what more would you,
Thrice Judas, Arnold, nomad Jew?
Your hands from oil tbe Nation's throat.
And we will raise God songs of praise
And gratitude for fairer days,
Nor miss you in a single note.
You have your gold. Be satisnari.
And tempt not fate too far today.
Take up your gold. The world is wide ;
But we are here, and here to stny.
You want our silver? Want our lands?
Want British law and British spoil.
While we in chains, bound feet and hands.
Toil on and on as peasants toil?
This land js Freedom's land for aye !
Free land! Free silver! And FREE MEN!
Free men who do not fear to die,
Free men have died, and may again !
And if, by chance, your gold has won.
Beware 1 The war has but begun;
The war of ballots for the grace
To coin our moneys, keep our laws, -
To clip old England's reaching paws,
And laugh her lion In the face.

THREE TELLING SPEECHES.
Smith, Noland
and Bennett
Sliver.
Argae for
The joint Bryan' rally at the Bald
win Wednesday was a success in' every
respect.' The hall was filled to its ut
most capacity, and when the drum
corps arrived with the picture of Bryan
on a transparency, the cheer that went
up fairly "raised the roof."
When Mr. Smith was introduced he
was greeted with a ' hearty applause,
and his address of 20 minutes was
frequently Interrupted by outbursts of
enthusiasm from the audience. The
speaker took the position that the con
traction of the currency resulted in
a decline in the price of all else ex
cept money. By a concise line of
reasoning he proved beyond contradic
tion that this is true. Mr. Smith is,'
indeed, a close reasoner, and bis argu
ment to substantiate his position was
most convincing
Following Mr. Smith, Mr. Noland
took the stand, and after a few intro
ductory remarks submitted a telling
argument, proving the absurdity of the
idea of international agreement.
Three international conferences, he
said, had been called for the purpose
of establishing a parity between gold
and silver and each had been a dismal
failure, hence nothing could be hoped
for fr m that source. ' Disposing of
that subject be next turned his at
tention to the question, is the "United
States powerful enough to establish a
bimetalic system independent of other
nations? Quoting from the statistician
Mulhall, he showed that( this country
did one-third the commerce of the
world, had more than half of all rail
roads, produced 60 per cent of all the
cotton, 50 per cent of all the corn, 20
per cent of all tbe wheat, had more
universal education than any other
nation of like population and required
one-third of the money, of the world to
transact its daily business. From the
statistics he drew the conclusion that
we rere of sufficient importance in the
world's trade to adopt and maintain
an independent financial system. Ia
conclusion Mr. Noland appealed to
bis Effort to Get' on the Gold Standard
Plank Was Humiliating.
In his speech at opera house Tuesday
night, Mr. Ellis talked for a little over
an hour to a fair-sized audience. There
I were many vacant seats, and more than
half the crowd were women and chil-
' dren." He spoke pleasantly, and told
three or four very funny stories. These
were well received. In fact the prin
cipal applause of the' evening was in
response to the stories. "'
. He did not take any "ground On the
silver question.,; In fact, he did not
seem to know "wbere he was at", on
that question. . Most of his argument
a sort of an implied
apology upon his part for ever having
voted for free- coinage. He opened
up by congratulating tho gold, stand
ard democrats who had left their party
because it favored free silver. He,
seemed to think it was greatly credit
able to them that they should follow
their convictions and leave their party.
He did not seem to realize that accord'
ing to that reasoning be should have
left his party, and should now be advo
cating free silver. He tried to make
the audience believe that the tariff was
the paramount issue. In this, of course,
his argument was squarely In the (ace
of that of Geo. H. Williams, and. en
tirely inconsistent with tbe speeches
of McKinley,' In which he places the
money question' as the paramount
Issue.- -
Altogether, with the exception of
bis stories, the speech was very eooly
received. The free silver people did
not seem to appreciate the address, be
cause they did not like Mr. Ellis1
change of front.. Aqd the gold stand
ard advocates la tbe audience were
still more unresponsive because they
never have iiked Mr. Ellis personally,
and because, he does not seem to be
quite enough of a gold bug for them.
The mends ot Mr. iiillts were very
sorry to see him placed-in such a hu
miliating position very sorry that he
did not have tbe courage of his con
victions tbe courage to come out
openly and advocate the cause of the
common people free silver.
Mr. Ellis seems to be An honest man,
and a friend of the people. It is a pity
that such men should place party
above patriotism, and their political
organization above their country.
