Desperate diseases some "tlmea require heroic remedies." Mas ter William Jennings Bryn. "I hold the disturbance of the meas ure of value, the means of payment "and exchange or any derangement of! "the currency to be one of the most "unpardonable of political faults. He "who tampers with the currency robs "labor of Its bread. He panders, In "deed. to greedy capital, which is "keen -sighted, and may shift for ltse'f ; "but he beggars labor, which Is honest, "unsuspecting, and too busy with the "present to calculate for the future. "The prosperity of the working classes "lives, moves, and has Its being in es tablished credit, and a steady me dium of payment. All sudden changes "destroy it. Honest Industry never "comes in for any part of the spoils "in that scramble which takes place "when the currency of a country Is "disordered. Did violent fluctuation "ever do good to him who depends on "daily labor for his dally bread? Cer tainly never. All these things may "gratify greediness for sudden gain, by "the rashness of daring speculation; "but they can bring nothing but in jury and distress to the homes of pa tient industry and honest labor. Who "are they who profit by such a state "of things? They are not the many, "but the few. They are speculators, "brokers, dealers in money, and lend "ers of money at exorbitant interest. "Small capitalists are crushed, their "means dispersed in various parts of "the country, and, such a miserable "policy having destroyed exchanges, "they have no longer either money or "credit. All classes of labor partake, "and must partake, in the same ca lamity." Daniel Webster. I JAPAN'S INDUSTRIAL ACTIVITY, i English trade papers report that their machinery makers have been do ing good business with China since the war was settled. We are doing the same thing selling to China and Japan machinery which their cheap labor will soon learn to use with skill. This Is likely to react upon us before long. And it will eventually teach the whole civilized world the absolute ne cessity of every nation protecting and developing its own home in.lustries. England is agitated over the tstab Hshment of a regular steam service be tween Bombay and London. The Jap anese have taken them by surprise, few knowing that a movement of such magnitude was in contemplati jn. Jap an works quietly, and has already made a move to secure a share of the world's commerce. And this is not the only manner in which Japan Is attacking British interests. Until lately Australia supplied Sin gapore with coal for the steamers bound to or from Europe. But n..v Japanese coal hf s !n a y v.t .r, asore supplanted ih ..UJtrUiaii. Tile Aus tralian colonies see the danger and are devising means to resist Japanese encroachments. Tokio traders are do ing a lucrative business with Persia, and In many other instances Japanese produce has won Its way to favor. Cheap and good seems to be the motto of Japan. They are always cheap, not always good. But quality will soon follow, and then Europe and America must be prepared. Especial ly will our market be In danger. Skil ful workmen at 12 a week, turning out woolen goods from the mills of Osaka, will test our mettle and our tariff. Japanese labor flourishes on such wages, so there can be no two opinions regarding the different condi tions under which Japan and the Unit ed States must work out their own l destinies. THAT RIGHT OF WAY. The interview published In yester day's Oregonlan with Mr. Wm. Honey man, regarding work on the Astoria Railroad, was evidently mode under a misapprehension, or else the gentle man Interviewed had received wrong information about a part of his sub ject matter. A portion of the inter view Is as follows: "Mr. William Honeyman said yesterday to an Ore gonlan reporter that he was very much encouraged over the progress already made. "We have at least three hundred Den picking dirt all along the line, and we want more. Within the next week or two we will need 700 more men, as it is our intention to push the work while the fine weather lasts. I don't think we will have any trouble In get ting all the laborers we want." "The light of way for a considerable portion of the surveyed line has al ready been secured, and the contract ors do not expect much trouble In se curing the necessary concessions for the entire forty-seven miles between ttoble and Tongue IVInt. Most of the people owning land along the rond re alise the Iwnolln that will accrue to them with lis completion, and they are doing everything to facilitate the work of l he rlgh-of-way party, which the contractors have at work. As Mr. Honeyman said yesterday, unless something unforeseen happens, next summer will see the new road In op, eratlon. In the mean time the enter prise will afford work for hundreds of men." Kvery Astorlan knows that the right of way for the entire line was secured loi.g a!o. further, the matter was not placed In the hands of a party of contractor to secure the right of way. A committee, of eltlxens secured for the railroad company the entire rlsht of way through the city and coun ty before the contract for building tile line was consummated. The unsecured portions of the rici-.t . f way at the time of st.u!iii v.ttk on tl.e line, were proxiued f-r by a lond commit tee which guaranteed sufficient funds with which the railroad company mlht purchase that portion i f the rixht of way In dispute with the ow ti t's of the land. The grade for the first ten miles of road to Iiurnslde Po!".i. or ten miles east of Tongue Pilnt. is already nearly completed Corey Hrothors will s.nn finish their contract on this portion of the line. Whether Mr. Honeyman made the statement concerning the right of way or whether it came from some other source. It Is evident that the person or persons giving out the Information were greatly mistaken. The citizens of Astoria who won a hard battle In securing this right of way. and whose Portland friends have understood from them that this portion of the railroad deal was completed, feel much provok ed at the giving out of such an erro neous statement.

WHAT CONSTITUTES A FAMILY MEDICINE? A preparation which Is adapted to the relief and cure of ailments to which members of a household Is most subject, and which ts not only al leged to do this, but has long and un failingly proved Its ability to do it. assuredly deserves the title of a rella ble Family Medicine.

TWO LIVES SAVED. Mrs. Phcpbe Thomas, of Junction City, 111., was told by her doctors she had Consumption and that there was no nope for her, but two bottles Dr. King's New Discovery completely cured her, and she says It saved her life. Mr. Thomas Eg gers, 133 Florida street, San Francisco, suffered from a dreadful cold, approach ing Consumption, tried without tesult everything else, then bought one bottle of Dr. King's New Discovery and In two weeks was cured.

Declaration of "Principles The Republicans of the I'lillrd Htutrs. assembled by their representatives In National Convent louraPpcllhg for the popular and historical Justification of th. li' i-lulma lo the niutchli-as aeliluv.. ments of thirty years of Republican rule, earnestly and confidently address themselves to the awakened IntoHI-ici-m-e, experience and consclenc. of thiir countrymen In the following dec lination of fuels and principles: For lh Hint time since th Ulvll r the American people have wit rested the ciilitmltovu consequences of full and unrestrained Democratic con trol of the ',o eminent. It has been a rvcotd of unparttllid Incapacity, dis honor and disaster In administrative Miatmccment It hue ruthhssly otiils d Indisi'enslMe revenue, entailed an unceasing deficit, eked out ordinary . utr- nt xpenv-s with borrowed money, piled up the public debt by M:0iitf.000 In time i f pence, forced an adverse bal ance of trade, to a perpetual menace hanging over the redemption fund, pawned Amcrtciui credit to alien syn dicates and reversed all the measures and results of successful Republican rule. In the brond effect of Its policy It has precipitated panic, blighted In dustry and trade will) prolonged de pression. clossl factories, reduced work and wanes, halted enterprise and crip pled American production while stimu lating foreign production for the Amer ican market, livery consideration of public safety nil) Individual Interest d.-mands that the government shall b. rescued from the hands of those who have shown themselves Incapable of conducting It without disaster at home and dishonor abroad, and shall he re stored to the party which for thirty yeurs administered It with uncqtmled success and prosperity A Protective Tarltl. We renew and emphasise our allegl ance to the policy of protection as the bulwark of American Industrial Inde pendence and the foundation of Amer ican 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 the American market for the American producer: It upholds the American standard of wages for the American worklngman; It puts tli factory by the side of the farm, and makes the American farmer lee dependent on foreign demand and price; It diffuses general thrift and founds the strength of all on the strength of each. In Its reasonable ap plication It la Just, fair, and Impartial, equally opposed to foreign control and domestic 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 larilt on foreign Imports which come Into competition with American pro ducts as wltl not only furnish adequate revenue for tho necessary expenses of the government, hut will protect Amer- lean labor from degredatlon to the wage level of oth-r lands. We are not pledged to any particular sehedules. 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 demands a right settlement and then It wants rest. iWiinicity Willi Other Nations. We believe the repeal of the reel- pniity arrangements negotiated by the Inst Republican administration was a national cnlnmlty, 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 sale of Amer ican products In the ports of other countries and secure the enlnrged 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-estnbllshed. 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 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 Sut-ar Producers. We condemn the present administra tion for not keeping faith with th sugar producers of this country. Th Republican party favors such protec tion as will lead to the production on American soil of all the sugar the American people use, and for which they pay other countries more than $100,000,000 annually. Wool anil Woolens. To all our products to those of th 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 Amerl- ok tiik REPUBLICAN PARTY. can policy of discriminating duties for ihvMip-lnilldtng of our merchant marluo and l lin protection nf our shipping In (he foreign carrying trade, so that American ships the product of Amer ican labor, employed In American ship yards, Bailing under the Hinrs and Stripes, and manned, officered and owned by Americans may regain the carrying of our foreign commerce. The Financial Issue. "The Republican parly Is unreserv. dly for sound money. It caused the enactment of (he law providing for the resumption of specie payments In 1HTH; Since then every dollar has been as good as gold. We arc unalterably op posed 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 by International agreement with the leading eoiimieniul nations of the world, which we plvdge ourselves lo promote, and until such agreement ran be obtained we believe the existing otd standard must Im preserved. All our silver and paper currency now In circulation must be maintained at u purity with gold, and we favor all measures designed to maintain Ittvlola sla thi obligations of the United Stutes, and all our money, whether coin or paper, at the present stands! I. tho standard of the most enlightened na tions of the earth." Pensions for Veterans. The veterans of the Union armies de serve and should receive fair treatment and generous recognition. Whenever practicable they should be given th prefnrvnee In the matter of employ ment, and they are entitled to th en actment of auch laws as best calculat ed to toaire the fulfillment of the pledges made to them In the dark days of the country peril. We denounce the practice of the pension bureau so recklnssly and unjustly carried on by lh present administration, of reducing pensions and arbitrarily dropping names from the rolls, as deewvtng th sever eel condemnation of the American people. Foreign Relations. Our foreign policy should be at all times firm, vigorous and dignified, and alt our Interest In the western hemis phere carefully watched and guarded. The Hawaiian Islands should be con trolled by the United Htates 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 Slates, and by the purchase of the Danish Islands we should secure a proper and much-needed naval station In the West Indies. Armenian Massacres. The massacres In Armenia have arouse,! the deep sympathy and Just indignation of the American people, and we believe that the United Htates should exercise all the Influence It can properly exert to bring these atrocities to an end. In Turkey, American resl dents have been exposed to the gravest dangers and American property de stroyed. There and every n here Amer ican citizens and American property must be absolutely protected at all hazards and at any cost. Monroe Doctrine. We reassert the Monroe doctrine In Its full extent and reaffirm the right of tho Unulttd States to give the doctrine effect by responding to the 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 those possessions must not, on any pretext, be extended we Hopefully look forward to the, eventual withdrawal of the European powers from this hemisphere, and the ultimata union of all the English speaking part of the continent by the free consent of Its Inhabitant. Independence of Culm. From the hour of achieving their own Independence the people of the United States have regarded with sympathy the struggles of other American people to free themselves from European dom ination. W watch with deep and abid ing Interest the heroic battle of the Cu ban patriots against cruelty and op presston, and our best hopes go out for the full success of their determined con tent for liberty. The government of Spain, having )ost control of Cuba and being unable to protect the property or lives of resi dent American citizens or to comply with Its treaty obligation?, we believe that the government of the United States should actively use Its Influence and good office to restore peace and give Independence to the Island. Enlargement of the Navy. 4 The peace and security of the repub lic and the maintenance of it rightful Influence among the nations of 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 complete system of harbor and sea coast defenses Iiiimlnmiliiii Us. For the i-rotoiilon of the equality of our American cUlsvnshlp and of the wage of our wm kinsmen against the fatal competition of low-priced labor, w demand that III Immigration law be thoroughly enforced, and so extend ed as to exclude from rnlrauc It) the United Htate those who ran neither read rtor writ. Civil Service. Th t'lvll Hervtce law wa placed on I bo statute book by the Republican party, which i always sustained It, ami we renew uiir repeated declara tions that It shall be thoroughly and hotiestty enforced and extended wher ever practicable. Free Jiallot. We demand that every rlllsen of th United State shall l allowed lo cast one free and unrestricted ballot, and that such ballot shall be counted and returned a cast. hnclil R IViitlemi'.rtl. We proclaim our unqualified condem nation uf the uuclvlllii.'d and barbarous piacil.es. well known as lynching or killing f human brings, suspected or charged with crime, without process of law. National Arbitration. We favor the creation of a national board of arbitration to settle and ad just difference which may arise be tween employer and employed engaged In Interstate commerce. Free Iltmiesieaik We believe In n Immediate return to th tree homestead policy of th Republican party and urge the passage by congress of the satisfactory free homestead measure which has already passed the house and Is now pending In the senate. Admission of Territories. We favor the admission of th re maining terrltorlo at th earliest prac ticable dale, having due regard to th Interest of tb people tit th territo ries and of the United States. All the federal officers appointed fur the terri tories shall be selected from bona fid residents thereof, and the right of self government shall be scorj.il as far aa practicable. Alaska Representation. We believe the cllliens of Alaska should have representation In the con gress of the United Htotes.to the end that needful legislation may be lutein gently enacted. Sumptuary Legislation. We sympathise with all wise and le- gltltt cte efforts to lessen and prevent Ihe evils of Intemperance and promote morality. Rights of Women. The Republican party Is mindful of the rights and Interests of women. Pro tection of American In.lustries Includes equal opportunities, equal pay for equal work and protection Li the home. W favor the admission of women to wider sphere of usefulness, ond welcome their co-operation In rescuing the coun try from Democratic and I'opullst mis management and misrule. Such am th principle nnd policies of the Republi can party. Ily these principles we will abide and these principles we will put Into execution. Wo nk for them the conslderato Judgment of the American peopli). Confident alike In the history of our Kreat party and In the justice of our cause, we present our platform nnd our considerations, In the full assurance Hint tho election will bring victory tu the Republican parly and prosperity to the people of the United stab's.
