We commend to the consideration of the Democrats of Oregon the fol lowing extracts from the Associated Press dispatches of last Sunday even ing, from f-L Louts. Comment would be superfluous: "Senator Jones (chairman of the Democratic national committee) was asked as to what the Populist party could expect In the way of recognition, in case Bryan should be Indorsed by the Populist party. Senator Jones re plied that In the event of Bryan's election to the presidency, he would know no party, and would recognise all who had rallied to his support. Populists were not to be looked upon as step-children. The recognition of all stiver men woul be equal. This an nouncement was received with ap plause by the Bryan Populists pres ent."' "I am for Bryan (said ex-Governor Waitel because I believe the plat form on which he stands Is an excel lent one. I believe In his sincerity and dIltjr to the Populist principles of ALTGELD and FEXXOTER, who. with Bryan, dominated the Chicago convention. The Populists can do no better than to nominate or indorse Bryan."" There are two classes of gold coun tries in the world, and they are known as the distinctive gold standard and as the gold and silver standard coun tries, differing chiefly In the fact that in the gold standard countries silver Is a legal tender for a very limited amount. The gold standard countries are Austria-Hungary, BraxiL Chill. England and her colonies. Including Canada and Australia; Egypt, Fin land. Germany, Portugal and the Scan dinavian Union embracing Norway, i Sweden and Denmark. The gold and sliver countries In which both gold and silver are legal tender, but where the gold standard of value is maintained, re the Argentine Republic, Bulgaria, Hayti, Netherlands, Roumanla. Servia. Spain, Turkey, United States and the Latin Union embracing Belgium, France, Greece. Italy, and Swltxer land. The silver standard countries ef the world are Central America, Chi na, India, Mexico, Russia. Bolivia, Colombia. Equador, and Peru. Venez uela has recently adopted the gold standard. The silver countries In buy lng from all other nations In the world pay two of their silver dollars for one dollar of value. In the United States the amount of money per capita, that is, for every man. woman and child tn the nation, is as follows: $8.78 In gold, IS.98 In silver, and 15.92 in paper money, making a total of 123.59. The ether gold and silver nations vary from M per head In Turkey te $35.77 per head In France, $22.19 of this being gold and 112.51 silver. In the silver eountries the amount of money per head varies from $2.08 in China to I05 In Mexico, and J IS in Russia. But the Russian currency Is mostly paper, and the government Is now ac cumulating gold with a view to put- ting it on a gold ! asls. The an-ount .f ! money per capita in England Is $20.78, and In Germany $17.50. THE NICARAGUA. The suggestions contained in this morning's Astorian from Hon. Horace L. Hotchkiss, treasurer of the Nicara gua Canal Company, on the Import ance of the early consummation of thaf great enterprise, should make an Impression on the business men of the entire Pacific Northwest. Mr. Hotch kiss has no doubt that the bill for the construction of the canal can be push ed through the next congress, rjvld ed an effort is made In that direction by the people of this coast. The fact that the Republican party has seen fit to pledge Itself by the Ht. Louis plat form to the completion of the canal under tne auspices of the government, ought to encourage some form of Im mediate and concerted action. It will not do to wait for the eastern friends of the canal to take the Initiative in the matter, nor Is It saf- to trust to the influence of an aroused public sen timent rn favor of the canal to force it through congress. The scheme has many determined and Influential op ponents, and tt is natural to assume that Its strongest friends must live west of the Rocky Mountains. But If those friends sit still and depend simply on the merits or national Importance ef the canal to put it through congress, they will not live long enough to see the canal in operation. There is too much disposition on the part of west ern people to trust to the natural at tractiveness of their section for the in vestment of capital and immigration. They do not seem to realize that the average Easterner knows nothing whatever about the advantages and resources of the great Pacific coast re gion. Other sections of the country ply the world with their advertise ments and inducements for Immlgra- tlon and settlement, but the only In formation obtainable about the Paci fic coast, aside from an occasional magaglne article. Is the word of mouth tales of travellers, which, however good as far as It goes, never reaches the great majority of people who are seeking new homes or hunting new lo cations for profitable enterprises. Throughout the whole East there Is an utter lack of all Intelligent Idea and conception of the Immense Importance of the Nicaragua canal. Many have' heard of It In a general way and favor It on general principles. Just as they do any proioed public enterprise of magnitude, but ,few know what It would really mean to this coast and the entire country If the canal were built and In operation. In the fullness of time the canal will doubtless be built anyway, but If the people now living on the Paclrto coast expect to realise any benefit fr.ci I! they will have do as the p.o;i',c of other per-' tlon oi tue woi-id are in the hsblt of doing wheu they see a good thing and' want It they w 111 have to go after It. JUST WHAT IT MEAN'S. Let us try to put this silver ques tion plainly, so that any worklngman can understand It. When you get your wagxa on pay. day you probably receive various notes. If ou rend what Is printed en them you will find that they are not all alike. One says that the United States will pay one dollar: another promises one silver dollar; another one dollar In coin; but you never bother yourself about these differences. The notes are all alike to you, because you know they are of equal value. Why? Because they circulate Inter changeably and behind them all Is the pledge of the government of the Unit ed States to maintain them at parity with gold. And you know that as long as the present law remains nnd Is ad ministered as it Is now, every one of these notes Is good for a dollar's worth of gold, nnd has exactly the value of a dollar In gold all the world over. Now, what does the free coinage of silver mean? It means that Instead of redeeming these notes In gold, the United States shall redeem them In silver. And not with a dollar's worth of silver, mind you, but with a coin containing 4124 grains of silver, one tenth alloy, which is worth anywhere In toe world today about S3 cents tn gold. .That Is exactly what Is proposed, to scale down the value of all our cur- rency nearly one-nan. do you tninn that would benefit you ? Philadelphia Times. Who does not know women and young girls who are continually In tears? Who always see the dark side? Who have frequent fits of melancholy without any apparent cause?

THE PROSTRATING SHOCKS Of malarial fever are not to be counter acted by quinine with any degree of certainty, or for any length of time. The eradication and prevention of dis eases of a miasmatic type are. however, ascertained possibilities. Long expe rience has shown that there is Infinite- I ly more preventive efficacy in the fine botanic medicine, Hostetter's Stomach Bitters, than In the alkaloids, drugs and poisons Thlch were formerly the oiily recognised means of removing and anticipating attacks of fever and ague and bilious remittent. When the sys tem has been depleted by periodically recurring paroxysms, this agreeable re storative renews the fund of energy, and is not only a positive specific, but repairs the damage to the general health Inflicted by all febrile complaints partaking of the malarial character.

Ross, HIgglns Co. Declaration of Principles The Ue publicans of lite United States, assembled by their representatives In National Convention, appealing for the popular and historical Justification of tlitlr claims to the matchless achieve, menu of thirty years of Itepubllcnn rule, eitrui'Mly and confidently address themselves to the awakened ltUll. nctice, experience and conscience pf their countrymen hi lh following dec laration of facta and principles: For tlio first time since the Civil War the American people have wit tirsjed the calamitous consequences of full and umvstrnlned Democratic con trol of the (.lovernment. It has been a record of unpuntllrd Incapacity, dis honor and disaster. In administrative nuumiivmcnt tt hits ruthlissly sacrific ed Indlspenslble revenue, entailed an unceasing dcrtclt, eked out ordinary current expenses with borrowed money, piled up th public debt by KM.OOO.OOO In time of peace, forced un adverst bal ance of I rmle, to a prptual menac nankins' over the redemption fund, pawned American credit to alien syn dicates and reversed all the measures and results of successful Republican rule. In the broad effect of It policy It has precipitated panic, blighted In dustry nnJ trade wllh prolonged de pression, closed factorle. reduced work and wages, halted enterprise and crip pled American production while stimu lation foreign production for the Amer ican market. Every consideration of public safety and Individual Interest demands I tut the government shall be rescued from the hands of those who hnv shown themselves Incapable of conducting It without disaster at horns and dishonor abroad, and shall be re stored to the party which for thirty years administered It with unequaled success and prosperity. A Protri'tlvf Tariff. We renew and emphasise our allegl ance to th policy of protection as the bulwark of American Industrial Inde pendent and the foundation of Amer Iran development and prosperity. This true American policy taxes foreign pro ducts and encourages home Industry; It puts the burden of revenue on for eign goods. It secures th American market for the American producer; It upholds the American standard of wages for the American worklngman; It puts the factory by th side of the farm, and makes the American farmer less dependent on foreign demand and price; It diffuses general thrift and founds the strength of all on th strength of each. In Its reasonable ap plication It is Just, fair, and Impartial, equally opposed to foreign control and itomestlc monopoly, to sectional dis crimination and Individual favoritism. We denounce the present Democratic tariff as sectional. Injurious to the pub lic credit and destructive to business enterprise. We demand such equitable tariff on foreign Imports which com Into competition with American pro ducts as will not only furnish adequate revenue for the necessary expenses of the government, but will protect Amer ican labor from degredatlon to th wage level of other lands. Ws are not pledged to any particular schedules. The question of rates Is a practical question, to be governed by the condi tions of the time and production; the ruling and uncompromising principle is the protection and development of American labor and Industry. The country demand a right settlement and thea It wants rest. Reciiro iiy With Oilier Nations. We believe the repeal of the reci procity arrangements negotiated by the la.st Krpuhllcan administration was a national calamity, and we demand their renewal and extension on such terms as will equalize our trade with other nations, remove the restrictions which now obstruct the sals of Amer ican products In the ports 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 hand In hand. Democratic rule has recklessly struck down both, and both must be re-established. Protection for what we produce, free admission for the necessaries of life which we 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 ud domestic inousiry nnu trade ana 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 admlnistra. tlon for not keeping faith with the sugar producers of this country, Ths Republican party favors such protec tion as will lead to the production on American soil of all the sugar ths American people use, and for which they pay other countries more than 1100,000,000 annually. Wool and 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 we promise the most ample protection. Merchant Marine. We favor restoring the early Ameri OK Tlltt REPUBLICAN PARTY. can policy uf discriminating duties for the iip-luilldlng of our merchant marine and th protection of our shipping In Hi foreign carrying trade, so that American shlpstha product of Amer ican labor, employed In American ship yards, sailing under th Htars and Stripes, and manned, officered and owned by Americans-may regain the carrying of our foreign commerce. The Financial Isue. "Th Republican pnrly Is unreserv edly for sound money. It caused the enactment of th law providing for the resumption of specie payments In JSTV; since then every dollar has been as good as old We are unalterably op posed to every measure calculated to da base our currency or Impair th credit of our country. We are, therefore, op. posed to the fret coinage of silver, ex cept by International agreement with Hi leading commercial nations of the world, which v pledge ourselves to promote, and until such agreement can be obtained w believe th existing (old standard must b preserved, All our silver and paper currency now In circulation must be maintained at n parity with sold, and v favor all measures designed to maintain Inviola ble the obligation of the United States, and all our money, w hether coin or paper, at th present standard, th standard of IU most enlightened na tions of the earth." Pensions for Veterans. Th veterans of th Union armies de serve and should receive fair treatment and generous recognition. Whtnsvsr practicable they should be given th preference In th matter of employ ment, and they are entitled to th en actment of such laws as beat calculat ed to secure the fulfillment of th pledges made lo thsm In th dark day of th country's peril. W denounce th practice of th pension bureau so recklessly and unjustly carried on by th present administration, of reducing pensions and arbitrarily dropping name from th rolls, as deserving th severest condemnation of the American people. Foreign Relations. Our foreign policy should be at all time Arm, vigorous ant dignified, and all our Interests In th western hemis phere carefully watched and guarded. Th Hawaiian Islands should be con trolled by the United States and no for eign power should be permltetd to In terfere with them. The Nicaragua Canal should be built, owned and op erated by the United State, and by the purchase of the Danish Islands ws should secure a proper and much-needed naval station In the West Indies. Armenian Massacres. The massacres In Armenia hav amused the deep sympathy and Just Indignation of the American people, and we believe (hat the United Slates should exercise all th Influence It ran properly exert to bring these atrocities to an end. In Turkey, American resi dents have been exposed to the gravest dangers, and American property de stroyed. There and everywhere Amer ican citizens and American property must be absolutely protected at all haiards and at any cost. Monroe Doctrine. We reassert the Monroe doctrine In Its full extent and rcalTlrm the right of the Unulted Stales to give the doctrln effect by responding to tho appeals of any American state for friendly Inter vention In case of European encroach ment. We havo not Interfered, and shall not Interfere, with the existing possessions of any European power In this hemisphere, but ttuisn possessions must not, on any pretext, be extended. e hopefully look forward to the eventual withdrawal of the European powers from this hemisphere, and the ultimate union of all the English speaking part of the continent by the free consent of Its Inhabitants, Independence of Cuha, 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 donv (nation. We watch with deep and abld lng Interest the heroic battle of the Cu ban patriots against cruelty and op. presslon, 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 rest dent American citizens or to comply with Its treaty obllgatlones, we believe that the government of the United State should actively use Its Influence and good offices to restore peace and give Independence to the Island, Enlargement of the Navy. The peace and security of the repub lic and the maintenance of Its rightful Influence among the nations of ths 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 of harbor and sea- Immigration Laws. For the protection of ths equality of our American iitlsniishli and of th wages of our ivotklnginen against ths fatal competition uf low-priced labor, we demand Hint th Immigration laws be thoroughly enforced, and so lnd td us lo vxclud from entrant' to th United Mates tho who ran neither read nor w rite. Civil Service. Th Civil Hcrvlc Uw Was placed on Hie statute book by III Republican party, ulilch has always sustained It, and wo renew our rnpatd declara tion that II shall be (hoioughly and honestly enforced and extended wher ever practicable. Free Iiallot. W demand that every Mtlien of the United Stales shall b allowed lo cast one free and unrestricted ballot, and that such ballot shall b counted and relumed a cast. I.VIll'lll R t'oilill'llllll'il. W proclaim our unqualified condem nation of th uncivilised and barbarous practices, well known as lynching or killing of human beluga, suspected or charged wlih crime, without process of law. National Arbitration. We favor the creation of a national board of arbitration to settle and ad Just differences which may arts be tween employer and employed ngagd In Interstate commerce. Free Homesteads. W bHv in an Immediate return to th free homestead policy of th Republican parly and urg th passsg by congr of th satisfactory free homestead measure which has already passed lb house and Is now pending In the senate. Admission of Territories. W favor the admission of th re maining territories at th earliest prao ticabl date, hating due regard to th Interests of th peopt of th territo ries and of the United State. All th federal officer appointed for tho terri tories shall be selected from bona lid residents thereof, and th right of self government shall b aeorded as far as practicable Alaska Representation. We betlev the cltliens of Alaska should hsv representation In the con gress of the United Htates.to the end that needful legislation may be Intelli gently enacted. Sumptuary Legislation. We sympathise with all wis and le gitimate efforts to lessen and prevent the evils of Intemperance and promote morality. Rights of Women. The Republican party l mindful of the rights and Interests of women. Pro tection of American Industries Includes equal opportunities, equal pay for equal work and protection to the home. W favor the admission of women to wider spheres of usefulness, and welcome their co-operation In rescuing the coun try from Democratic and Populist mis management and misrule. Such are th principles and policies of the ltepubll can party. Hy these principles we will abide and these principles we will put Into execution. We ask for theni the considerate Judgment of the American people. Confident alike In the history of our great party and in the Justice of our cause, we present our platform nnd our considerations. In the full assurance that the election will bring victory to the Republican party and prosperity to Uie people of the United States.
