McIVr.Tiott, one of the dele gates at large from New Jersey to the Democratic national convention, rub- ..v., ...uru . .. ventlon that a declaration In favor of tgree silver would "be equivalent to putting on the party banner the legend: This Is a nation of bandits.' " and he added: "When any political conven tion nails to the mast of the Democratic nhip the black flag of the pirate; when a platform la adopted that puts a pre mium on dishonesty. It will be the duty of those who are true to the principles of Jefferson Democracy to repudiate the candidates nominated by that con ventlon. " Ex-Secretary Falrchild ought to know something about the money ques tion, and his interview published this morning, he points out for the con sideration of Oregon voters some co gent reasons why this country should not be permitted to descend to a silver standard. There have been men In As toria before who pretended to Instruct the people on this intricate? Issue, but It may be well doubted if Astorians ever had the opportunity of hearing the subject discussed from a better authority than Mr. Falrchild. We com mend Mr. Fairchlld's views to the earn est Consideration of the enlightened followers of the great Mulllnnlx, late of Astoria and Portland, but now of Chicago, and the Weaver-Sovereign class of philosophical thinkers. It can possibly do them no harm to read what Mr. Falrchild thinks about the ques tion, and they may thus prepare them selves all the better to answer the ar guments of the hired agents and sub sidise! frees of Wall street and the English bondholders. The sound money element of the Re publican party triumphed at St. Louis in compelling the adoption of an un equivocal declaration in favor of the existing gold standard. Mr. McKinley In his short speech of acceptance de clared that the platform had received bis careful attention and his unquali fied approval. Upon the subject of money he said: "The money of the United states, and every kind or form of It, whether of paper, silver or gold. must be as good as the best In the world. It must not only be counted at Its full face value at home, but It must be counted at par in any and every commercial center of the world." "The dollar paid to the farmer, the wage earner, and the pensioner must con tinue forever equal In purchasing and debt paying power to the dollar paid to any government creditor." If these conditions are fulfilled the gold stand ard must be maintained, and, having pledged himself fully to their fulfill ment, Mr. McKinley Is pledged une quivocally to the maintenance of the existing or gold standard, and, being an honest man. Is not likely to cheat the people if elected. With its candi date thus publicly committed to an honest financial system the Republican party Is at last in position to make an honest battle for honest money and to Invite to the support of Its candidate every voter of whatever party name who believes that the American dollar should possess the full purchasing pow er of one hundred cents. FREE SILVER, SIXTEEN TO ONE. The platform of the Democratic par ty in the campaign of 1SS6 is settled. Its candidate, whoever he may be, will be committed to the free coinage of silver at a ratio of IS to 1, regardless of International action. We wonder If the majority of voters who will be depend ed on to vote for the success of the Chi cago ticket, and the adoption of this monstrous fallacy fully realize what it means. With all the talk so far heard about the money standards It may be fairly doubted If three-fourths of the people who howl for free silver have ever tried to understand what It means. It means that any holder of sliver bullion, silver plate or other articles of that metal, can take It to the mints and have it coined into dollars free of cost, the pur-; silver In which shall be sixteen tlms the amount of pure gold In the gold dollar. The government would have to make these silver dollars legal tenders for all debts, public and private, for double the actual value of the metal that Is In them. As gold coinage, worth 100 cents on the dollar, is the established money standard of this government (as well as of nearly all other enlightened governments), it must be evident that the masses of the people, not having silver bars or plate, are bound to be cheated with a dollar worth only 60 cents. The gold coin when melted Is worth as much as it was worth before, while the silver dol lar when melted and sold as bullion would be worth only half as much as in the legal-tender coinage. There are free coinage advocates who state that the reason stiver Is so low Is because It was "demonetlted" In ls73, which Is not the fact. Stiver demonetised .Itself through Increased production. ; One of the strong argument used against the Indiscriminate use of the white metal by speaker on the other side recently was that "If free coinage should have the effect of raising the price of silver to It old relation of sixteen to one with gold the producer and owners of silver would alone profit by the operation. If. on the other hand, free coinage should not have this effect the owners and producers of silver would still be its only beneflclarie. In the latter case they would have only to take their silver metal to the mints and receive It back in coin stamped by the government a having a legal ten der capacity to pay debts double Its real worth. While the masses of the people the non-owner of silver mjuM be ?ure M se Vavlly nnd disas trously in this case, tlieie I no pi ?lb!e Mi,.li.hiM fn ,v M.-tt i h.'V roll) 1 fr'lln anv tt.lv-ft',-irv from ir coinage.

When they put a man In Jail he can not follow his natural Impulses. He cannot eat what he wants to he is limited to a very frugal diet. Is it not equally true of a dyspectlc?

Chronic constipation Is almost Inevitable, and means that the body Is holding poisonous. Impure matter, and should be gotten rid of. The poison is being reabsorbed into the blood and the whole body.

The woman who can express and stick to a difference of opinion without either raising her voice or losing her temper never comes out second best. WHEN THE BOWELS ARE DISOR DERED. No time should be lost In resorting to a suitable remedy. Hostetter's Stomach Bitters Is the most reliable and w ideiy esteemed medicine of Its class. It re moves the causes of constipation, or of undue relaxation of the Intestines. which are usually indigestion or a mis direction of the bile. When It acts as cathartic it does not gripe and vio lently evacuate, but produces gradual and natural effects, very unlike those of a drastic purgative; and Its power of assisting digestion nullifies those irri tating conditions of the mucous mem brane of the stomach and intestinal canal which produce first diarrhoea, and eventually dysentery. The med icine Is, moreover, an agreeable one. and eminently pure and wholesome. Appetite and tranquil nightly slumber are both promoted by It. Cushions covered with cretonne, the figures of which are large enough to cover the whole square, are quite the rage. THU DISCOVERT SAVED HIS LIFE. Mr. G. Calllouette, Druggist, Besvers vtlle, 111., says: "To Dr. King's New Dis covery I owe my life. Was taken with La Grippe and tried all the physicians for miles about, but of no avail and was given up and told I could not live. Hav ing Dr. King's New Discovery In my store I sent for a bottle and be gan Its use and from the first dose began to get bettei, and after using three bottles was up aio about again.

Declaration of Principles Til Ueptlblleall ot the t'tllled States, Assembled by Ihetr ropiesenimlve In NtOlomil Convention, appealing for the popular and lilslniteul Juslllleallon ot tin Ir claim to the iimtchlr achieve incut of thirty year ot Kepubllcnn idle, earnestly and confidently sddrc themselves to Dip n wakened Intelli gence, expeiinue and consiiflice of their countrymen In the following drv latnilon of fuels and principles: For the llrsi llmo since the Civil War the American people have wit nessed the calamitous coincidence of full and unrestrained lvunx-ratle con trol of thu liovcrnment, It has been a revoid of utipnrnllrtt Incapacity, ills honor and disaster. In administrative tuuougcmcVt It bus rutltlissly sacrific ed linllspenslble revenue, entailed an unceasing deficit, eked out ordinary v urr- nt expenses with borrowed money, piled up the public debt by JiaJ.lHW.OOO in time ef pence, lorc.il an ad vers bal ance of trade, to a perpetual menace hanging over the redemption fund, pawned American credit In alien syn dicate and reverted all the measures tint result of successful Republican rule, in the broad effect of It policy it has precipitated panic, blighted In dustry and trade nlth prolonged de pression, closed factories, reduced work and wages, halted enterprise and crip pled American production while stimu lating foreign production for the Amer ican market. Every consideration of pu'!lc safety and Individual Interest lemamts that the government (halt be rescued fivm the hand of those who have shown themielve Incapable of conducting It without disaster at home and dishonor abroad, and shall he re stored to the parly which for thirty years administered It with unentitled ucer and prosperity. A Proteeiivf Tarifl. We renew and vmphalte our allegl a nee to the pulley of protection as tht bulwark of American Industrial Inde pendence and the foundation of Amer ican development and prosperity. This true American policy taxes foreign pro duct and encourages horns Industry; It put the burden of revenue on f'r elgn good. It secures th American market for the American producer; It uphold the American standard ot wage for the American worklngman; It put the factory by th side of the farm, and makes the American farmer less dependent on foreign demand and price; It diffuses general thrift snd found the (trrngth of all on the strength of each. In Its reasonable ap plication It Is Just, fair, and Impartial, equally opposed to foreign control and domestic monopoly, to lectlonal dis crimination and Individual favoritism. We denounce the present Democratic tariff a sectional. Injurious to the pub lic credit and destructive to buslnes enterprise. We demand such eo,ultubl turiff on foroign Import which com Into competition with American pro dud as will not only furnish adequate revenue for the necessary expense of the government, but will protect Amer lean labor from dcgredatlon to the wage level of other land. We are not pledged to any particular schedule. The question of rates is a practical guestlon, to tie governed by the condl lions of the time and production; the ruling and uncompromising principle Is the protection and development of American labor and Industry. The country demands a right settlement nnd then It wants rest. Ket'iiruriiy Willi Other Nations. We believe the repeal of the reel prM.lty arrangements negotiated by the Iti.st lii publican administration was a nntionitl culnmlly, ami we demand their renewal and extension on such terms as will equalize our trsde with other nations, remove the restrictions which now obstruct the sals of Amer lean products In the port of other countries and secure the enlarged mar kets of our farms, forests and factories Protection and reciprocity are twin measures of Republican policy, and go bund in hand. Democratic rule han recklessly struck down both, and both must be re-established. Protection for what we produce, free admission for the necessaries of life which wa don't produce, reciprocal agreements of mu tual Interest which gain open markets for us In return for our open market to others. Protection builds up domestic Industry and trade and secures our own market for ourselves. Reciprocity builds up foreign trade and finds an outlet for our surplus. Protection to Sugar Producers. We condemn the present administra tion for not keeping faith with the sugar producers of this country. The Republican party favors such protec tion as will lead to the production on American soli of all the sugar the American people use, and for which they pay other countries more than 1100,000,000 annually. Wool anil Woolens. To all our products to those of the mine and the field, as well as to those of the shop and the factory to hemp to wool, the product of the great Indus try of sheep husbandry, as well as to the finished woolens of the mill w promise the most ample protection. Merchant Marine. We favor restoring the early Ameri Olf TIIK REPUBLICAN PARTY. can policy of discriminating duties for I he up-liulldlng of our merchant marina and III protection of our shipping hi the foreign currying train, so that American ship the product of Amer ican labor, employed In American ship yard, tailing under III Htnrs and Hlrlpe. and manned, offlcviad and owned by Amciican-my regain the carrying uf our foreign eomineive.

W r unalterably op po,nl to every measure calculated to de base our currency or Impair the credit of our country. We are, therefore, op posed to the free coinage of silver, ex cept ly International agreement with the leading commercial nations of the world, w hlch We pledge ours. lve to promote, and until tuch agreement ran be obtained w believe tile existing 1.0KI standard must be preserved. All our llvr and paper currency now In circulation must be maintained at a purity with gold, and we favor all measure designed to maintain Inviola ble Hie obligation of the I'nlled Slab-, and all our money, whether coin or paper, at the present standard.

Whenever practicable they should be given th preference In the matter of employ ment, and they are entitled to th en actment of such laws as best calculat ed to secure the fulfillment of the pledges mad to them In the dark days of th country's peril. W denounce the practice of the pension bureau so recklessly and unjustly curried on by th preient administration, of reducing pension and arbitrarily dropping names from the rolls, as deserving the sevaruat condemnation of the American people. Foreign Relations. Our foreign policy should be at all time firm, vigorous and dignified, and all our Interests In the western hemis phere carefully watched and guarded. The Hawaiian Island ahould be con trolled by the United Slate and no for eign power should be prrmltetd to In terfere with them. Th Nicaragua Canal should be built, owned and op erated by the United State, and by the purchase of the Danish Island we should tecure a proper and much-needed naval station In the West Indira. Armenian Masacres. The massacre In Armenia have aroused the deep sympathy and Just Indignation of the American people, and we believe that the t'nlted Slates hould exercise all the Influence It ran properly exert to bring the atrocltle to an end. In Turkey, American real dent have been exposed to the gravest danger and American property de stroyed. There and everywhere Amer ican citizens and American property must be absolutely protected at all hazards and at any cost. Monroe Doctrine. We reassert the Monroe dot-trine In Its full extent and reaffirm the right of the I'nulleil Htutes to give the doctrine effect by responding lo the appeals of any American slate for friendly Inter vention In case of European encroach merit. We have not Interfered, and shall not Interfere, with the existing possessions of any European power In this hemisphere, but those possessions must not, on any pretext, be extended We hopefully look forward to the eventual withdrawal of th European powers from this hemisphere, and the ultimate union ot all the English speaking part of the continent by the free consent of Its Inhabitants. Independence of Cuba. From the hour of achieving their own Independence the people of the United States have regarded with sympathy the struggles of other American peoples to free themselves from European dom ination, We watch with deep und abid ing interest the heroic battle of the Cu ban patriots against cruelty and op pression, and our best hopes go out for the full success of their determined con test for liberty. The government of Spain, having lost control of Cuba and being unable to protect the property or lives of resi dent American citizens or to comply with Its treaty obllgatlones, we believe that the government of the United States should actively use It Influence and good offices to restore peace and give Independence to the Island. Enlargement of the Navy. The peace and security of the repub- Ilo and the maintenance of Its rightful Influence among the nations ot the earth demand a naval power commen surate with Its position and responsi bility. We therefore favor the contin ued enlargement of the navy and a coinplrt system of harbor and sea coast defense. Immigration Laws. For th protection of (he equality of our American cltlienslilp snd of th wages of our woiklngnien against th fatal competition uf low-priced labor, we demand that (he Immigration law bo thoroughly enforced, and to extend ed a In exclude from entrance to th United Slate thos who ran neither read nor write. Civil Service. Th Civil Service law wa placed on the ilatuta book by the Kepublli-an party, which has always sustained It, and we renew our regaled declara tion that It ahull be thoroughly and honetly enforced and extended wher ever practicable. Free Jlallot. We demand thai every rltlten of th United Slate ahall be allowed tit cast one free and unrestricted ballot, and that such ballot shall be counted and returned as cast. . I.jnchln,4 Conilenineil. W proclaim our timiualined condem nation of the uncivilised and barbarous practices, well known a lynching or killing of human being, impeded or charged with crime, without process ot law. National Arbitration. We favor the creation of a national board of arbitration to aettl and ad just difference which may arts be tween employer and employed engaged In Interstate commerce. Free Homesteads. Ws believe In an Immediate return to the free homestead policy of th Republican party and urg th passage by congress of the satisfactory free homestead measure which has already passed the house and I now (lending In the senate. Admission of Territories. We favor the admission of the re maining territories at the earliest prac ticable date, having due regard to the Interests of l he people uf the territo ries and of the United State. All th federal officers appointed for the terri tories shall tie selected from bona fid resident thereof, and the right of self government shall be acorded as far as practicable. Alaska Keirescntaiion. We believe the rltlien of Alaska hould hav representation In the con gre of the United Hlatrs.to the end that needful legislation may be Intelli gently enacted. Sumptuary Legislation. We sympathise with all wise and le gitimate efforts to lessen and prevent the evils of temperance and promote morality. Rights of Women. The Republican party I mindful of the right and Interett of women. Pro tection of American Industrie Inrludee equal opportunities, i-nunl pay for equal work and protection to the home. We favor tho admission of women to wider sphere of usefulness, and welcome their co-operation In rescuing the coun try from Democratic and Populist mis management and misrule. Such ure the principles and policies of the Republi can party. Uy these principles we will abide und these principle we wilt put Into execution. Wo ask for them the considerate Judgment of the American people. 'Confident alike In the history of our great parly and In the Justice of our cause, we present our platform nnd our considerations, In tho full assurance that tho election will bring victory to the Republican party and prosperity to the people of the United Htutes.
