The Heppner Gazette Thursday, Sept 13,1900 mm. 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. Front end of Mr. Longfellow's wood shed. NEIGHBOR GRANT.
