Republican Ticket.
For President,
WM. McKINLEY,
Of Ohio.
For Vice-President,
THEODORE ROOSEVELT,
Of New York.
For Presidential Electors,
0. F. PAXTON, of Multnomah County,
TILMON FORD, of Marion County,
J. C. FULLERTON, of Douglas
County, W. J. FURNISH, of Uma
tilla County.
The Treasury records show that
in nine agricultural and industrial
states of the middle west, -whose
people were told by the Bryanites
four years ago that McKinley's
election meant ruin; there are in
creases in bank deposits aggregat
ing more than $150,000,000. The
bank deposits of the people do not
increase in times of industrial
stagnation and low wages. If
anybody wants a demonstration of
the truth of that proposition he
has only to turn to the records of
bank deposits during the years
when Cleveland and Cobdenism
spread over this land like a funeral
pall the years from 1893 to 1897.
The Protective Tariff, which
opened the doors of American
mills and filled those mills with
American workmen employed at
good wages, secured a full dinner
pail to all those workmen, and
therefore is of "paramount" im
portenoe to them; but it is true,
too, that, by making a full dinner
pail a possible and universal thing
to millions of American workmen,
the Protective tariff led to the ere
ation of an immense demand for
the products which go to make up
the workingman's dinner, and has
thereby made a market for the
products of American farms and
stock ranges, and has brought
prosperity to American producers.
FOR EXPANSION.
More than fifty yeary ago '.'Man
ifest DeBtiny" was the watchword
of American progress. Expansion
was in the air, and was, as E. L.
E. White well says, in fact the
very breath of the American peo
ple. From that dv to this "ei.
pansion'' has animated the most
progressive statesmen, and people
might as well attempt to stop the
flow of Niagara as to try to stop
the growth, grandeur and mighty
force of America. In American
veins flows the masterful blood of
historyEnglish, Scotch, German,
Irish, French and Scandinavian,
nation builders all rugged as the
heather covered granite hills of the
highlands, gentle as the green
vales of Kilaruey, dominant on
land as are the English on the sea
and with a love for native land as
strong, deep and lasting as the
Qerman affection for the father
land. There has not been an hour
from the moment the Pilgrim
fathers landed at Plymouth to
the bright May day when Dewey
bumbled the flag of Spain in
Manila bay when Americans have
not been the missionaries of
liberty.
The Revolutionary war was for
liberty and expansion on land; the
war of 1812 was for liberty and ex
pansion to the west and south; the
Rebellion was for liberty and
union everywhere, and the country
is still in the morning of history.
SILVER FIZZ.
Let us auk you, Wm. Bryan, why
the misohiof you are tryiu' to con
vince the people that you're not a
crank? Pou't you know it's very
foolM) on your part to be ho mul
ish over that confounded little
silver plank? You went howling
through creation that destruction
and starvation was the certtin fate
of every mother'n hou if the fol
lowing election didu't go in your
direction witli your crazy notions
of 16 to 1. But you see you were
not in it, not one single blessed
minute, when the voters really
settled down to biz; they were not
so green and silly as you seemed
to think them, Billy, wheu you
tried to till them up on silver fizz.
There is no foundation to the recent
rumors that sheep are to be expelled
from the forest reserves.
TALKS SOUND SENSE.
Jas. H. Eckels was comptroller
of the currency under President
Cleveland, and was generally re
cognized as a prominent democrat
and a sensible man.
Speaking on tbe national politix
of the present Mr. Eccles recently
said:
"I did not support Mr. Bryan in
1896, and I do not intend to now.
I shall oppose his election this
year with all the vigor and ability
I possess. I do not feel that I
could stand to my convictions by
remaining merely passive and con
tenting myself with simply voting
against him.
"No issue set forth in any plat
form, no matter how cunningly
devised and arranged, in this cam
paign can be made paramount to
the issue of Mr. Bryan himself, hiB
erroneous views of public questions,
his numerous vagaries and his
demonstrated desire to find popu
larity and votes in a never-absent
appeal to class prejudices and sup
posed race hatreds.
"I am still a democrat, if believ
ing in democratic principles cor
rectly interpreted and properly
enforced as an agency for good
constitutes true democracy; but
I am not one if the utterances of
the platform adopted at Chicago
four years since and reaffirmed at
Kansas City are the rightful ex
pressions of what modern democ
racy stands for.
"The many isms of Populism
were abhorrent four years since to
my sense of what is safe and sound
in the operations of government
and tbe general well-being of the
people, because I viewed them as
being fundamentally wrong, and,
being so, neither lapse of time nor
errors of the party in power recon
cile me to their adoption or make
it possible that I should support a
candidate who not only approves
of them, but is their best embodi
ment and most vigorous champion.
At no time since his coming into
political power has Mr. Bryan
made an economic prediction
which has not failed of fulfillment,
or laid down as truth an economic
doctrine which has not in the
course of quick events been demon
strated to be an economio fallacy.
"There is no democratic doctrine
presented this year and no demo
cratic candidate. ,Mr. Biyan waB
first named by the populists be
cause he best stood for populistic
doctrines. He was only indorsed
by the convention at Kansas City,
called under alleged democratic
auspices, because Bryanisnf, popu
lism and democraoy 'as now made
up are synonymous terms.
"I am gaing to vote for McKin
ley, and do whatever I consistently
can to aid in his election, because
under all existing conditions I be
lieve the affairs of the country will
be better off in his hands than in
those of Mr. Bryan. t
"I hope some time to see the
democratic party re-created, advo.
eating democratic candidates and
democratic principles, but it can
not be more than a disturbing
force in the country's daily history
until it rids itself of a leadership
which has brought it to its present
low estate and ceases making itself
the lying-ia asylum of those ele
ments of discontent which, if onoe
entrusted with governmental pow
er would work injury at home and
loss of standing abroad.
"The democrat who wishes to
save bis party's future will only
aid that end by defeating Mr
Bryan and burying his platform."
PREDICTS $ WHEAT.
One of the most noteworthy ut
terances that has been recently
made is the expression of the
opinion by Secretary Wilson of the
Department of Agriculture that
wheat will sell at 71 a bushel be
fore the close of the year, tie only
gives this as his opinion, and ex
pressly said that he had no desire
to induoe farmers to hold their
wheat in expectation of obtaining
the pnoe mentioned, the question
whether a man should sell being
one which must be determined by
every man for himself. But the
Secretary made this comment after
returning to the capital from a
tour through the west, ' ad the
reasons which he gives ' of strik
iug intorest.
Secretary Wilson gives as one of
the reasons why wheat will ad
vanco in price the shortage of crop,
especially iu some sections of tbe
great wheat belt of the Northwest
Prosperity is the keynote of -the
other and leading reason given by
Secretary Wilaou for expecting an
advance. After a tour of the
country extending through many
states the Secretary returns to
Washington with exalted ideas of
the prosperity of the people, and
sees in the times reasons for be
lieving that the people will con
sume more w heat this year, and
that the greater demand will tend
to increase the price, i
DON'T PLANT POPLARS.
In writing a beautiful poem about his
beautiful borne on Brattle street, Cam
bridge, tbe square old Colonial house
that used to be Washington's bead
quarters in the Revolutionary days,
the gentle Longfellow said that Across
its antique portico, tall poplar trees
their shadows throw.
And that was about all tbey did be
sides soaring skyward and standing
around with their hands in their pockets
and mussing up the lawn witb their
twigs and eaves dropping laaves.
They were a scraggy lot, and let us
hope they have been replaced by some
better trees.
Mr. Longfellow used to have a feast
of raw oysters every Thursday evening
as a preliminary to a good fish dinner
on Friday, and he used to select tbe
fish himself, and haddock used to cost
10 cents a pound and codfish 12.
This iB history.
And now that tree-planting time is
about to again arrive in the Heppner
Hills, let most men plant trees about
their homes.
But do not plant the Lombardy pop
lar. If you do, plant some locusts or
silver leafed poplars or other trees near
them.
The Lombardy will beat them all at
growing, but in a few years will look
like a bobo who has just served a sen
tence of 10 days at Yewmatilla. Slow
growth trees near it will be big enough
to take its place as soon as is gets to
looking tough and siouchy witb its
clothes.

f UPPER RHEA" CREEK.
Sam Creeson was down Monday from
hin borne in the picturesque timbered
country at the head of Rhea creek,
where residents are now enjoying feasts
on green corn of their own raising,
which comes late up there.

Cord wood in the timber has been
sold several times over, and even green
wood has been selling at $1.50 a cord.
Upper Rhea creek is a land of good
water and tall tamaracks, and it is id
