The act of 1STS was not an act for the demonetisation of the silver dollar, a the free silver advocates say, for the simple reason that there were no silver dollars to demonetise. There was subsidiary silver In circulation, but that had been made a legal tender only to the amount of 110 a generation before. If the free coinage of silver would at once make stiver equal In value to gold, the silver dollar would be Just as costly as the gold dollar, and there would be no "cheapening" of our money; but aa we tried to enhance the value of silver for years by the government purchase of more than the whole American production, and silver declined In value under the operation untU It has fallen in value nearly 60 per cent, it is simply absurd to try to make silver equal to gold by free coin age. The free silver people resent the Im putation that Mr. Brian la playing the part of a demagogue in this campaign, and continually iterate that his hon esty and sincerity are above reproach, but an examination of his speeches since the Chicago convention shows that In conservative New England be argued that the free coinage of silver would operate to create such a de mand for that commodity that its value would go up to that of gold, while among the mortgage debtors of certain sections of the West he demanded free silver in order to cheapen money, so that debtors, under what he calls the appreciation In gold, could legally dis charge their obligations in one-half the value which their debts now call for as measured In gold. In other words, be has told the people of one section of the country that free coinage would not disturb values, because silver would be Intrinsically, worth aa much as gold, and in another section he has told a different class of people that gold has attained a fictitious value through the "crime" of 1S73, and that the restoration of silver to Its formr monetary position would enable them to evade this fictitious value, by com pelling their creditors to cut their debts down one-half. If any man doubts . the truth of .these charges against Mr. Bryan he has only to get bis speeches delivered between New Tork City and Lincoln and he will find the facts exactly as here stated. It la, as Mr. Hobart says, a funda mental principle in coinage, recognized and followed by all the statesmen of America In the past and never yet safely departed from, that there can be only one basis upon which gold and silver may be concurrently coined as money, and that basis is equality, not in weight, but In the commercial value of the metal contained in the respect ive rdiis. "This commercial value is fixed by the markets of the world. 1 vUh which the great interests of our Cjui.lt' ar- necessarily connected by (linumwrfcbltr bus nis; t.es. which can-n-'t be ' revered or Ignored.

NEXT IN IMPORTANCE. The suggestion thrown out In yester day's Issue by Mr. M. J. Kinney that there is good work for the Chamber of Commerce to do, scarcely needs com ment. It is worth emphasizing the point, however, that the committee on manufactures of that body is not only one of the moet Important committees of the chamber, but it baa a great duty to perform for the city at large. There is nothing so important, next to the railroad itself as the Immediate build ing of manufacturing institutions at . the mouth of the Columbia river. Not V. only do we want manufactures to Ttjiake tonnage for the railroad, and the merchant marine plying between this pelt and the great commercial centers of the world, but above everything of,' the else wh vhat Astoria wants Is a large list of payrolls w hich will support a grow lug population and a thriving people. It Is the tin pall brigade that starts for the factory In the morning and returns at night after the day's work la done, which makes the backbone and sinew of all prosperous commercial centers, With a large number of this class of people In our midst making good wagvs and happy and contented, the city must surely grow much more rap Idly than It could under any other conditions. There Is every natural re source here to support all kinds of manufacturing enterprises, and it Is for the people to see that they are do veloped now, or whether It will be left for a future generation to build Hie city and reap the profits. A llltle hard work on broad lines by a united ks.v pie will bring the rwult so much de sired here as it did in Chicago, Kansas City, Seattle and Spokane. Don't stop to think, but get out and work. Is the only text to preach, and the only theo ry to act upon. If you have ever seen a little child In the agony of summer complaint. you can realise the danger of the trou. ble and appreciate the value of Insun taneous relief always afforded by De Wltt' Collo and Cholera Cure. For dysentery and diarrhoea It Is a rella ble remedy. We could not afford to recommend this aa a cure unless It were a cure. Chas. Rogers, Druggist To those- who own brass bedsteads It may be pleasant to learn that a cov er of cheese clooth over the mattress, Its edge lengthened by white fringe. does away with the annoyance that too prominent springs cause to the tidy housewife. The dyspeptic carriea a dreadful load on his back. It seems as It he were really made up of two men. One of them ambitious, brainy and energetic; the other sick, listless, peevish and without force. The weak man weighs the other one down. The dyspeptic may be able to do pretty good work one day. and the next day, because of some little indiscretion in eating, he may be able to do nothing at all. Most cases of dyspepsia start with constipation. Con stipatlon Is the cause of nine-tenths of all human sickness. Some of Its symp toms are sick and bilious headache, diz ziness, sour stomach, loss of appetite, foul breath, windy belchings, heart burn, pain and distress after eating. All these are Indicative of derange- of the liver, stomach and bowels, and all are caused by constipation. Dr. Pierce's Pleasant Pellets are the quick est, easiest and most certain cure tor this condition. They are not violent In action.

THE VENOMOUS BREATH OF MA LARIA Does not Infect the system of those who use Hostetter's Stomach Bitters as a precaution against it Nor Is it less useful as a remedy where inter mittent and remittent fever has es tablished Itself, In consequence of a neglect of preventive measures. It checks the paroxysms with aston ishing celerity, and eradicates this type of disease, even in its most inveterate form. This medicine is an especial boon to the emigrant population of the far West, where fevers of a malarial type are particularly prevalent, but the recognition of its merits is so far from being limited, that it is known and appraised at its true value throughout the length and bieadth of America. Travelers by land and sea, miners and sojourners in unhealthy localities, esteem it highly, and are its most constant purchasers, and in many a rural household, far and wide, It Is the chosen family specific. Why does the man who Is privileged to wear a badge always look like a chessy cat when the occasion occurs when such decorations are In order?

ROS3, HON. WALTER C. PEPYB. CAPT. ARTHUR STIFFE. Copyright 11 ,1 : Declaration of Principles The Republicans of the Untied Stains, nmoititilcd by their ii'iiivnciilntlvee In National Convention, appealing for the popular and historical justification of thrlr claims to tho matchless achieve ments of thirty years of Republican rule, earnestly and confidently address themselves to the awakened lutein sictice, experience- and conscience of their countrymen. In the following dec laration of facts and principles: For the first lime since thn Civil War the American people have wit nessed the culnmllou consequences of full and unrestrained IVnutcralle con trol of tho tlovernment. It has been a record of unparallctl Incapacity, dis honor and disaster. In administrative management II has ruthbssly sacrific ed Indlspenslble revenue, entailed an unceasing deficit, eked out ordinary current expense with borrowed money, piled up the public debt by IMJ.0H0.WO 111 time of peace, forced an adverse bal ance of trade, to a perpetual menace hanging over the redemption fund, pawned American credit to alien syn dlcatea and reversed alt the measures and results of successful Republican rule. In the broad effect of Its policy It has precipitated panic, blighted In dustry and trade with prolonged de pression, closed factories, reduced work and wages, halted enterprise and crip pled American production w hile stimu lating foreign production for the Amer ican market. Every consideration of public safty- and Individual Interest demands that the government shall be rescued from the hands of those who have shown themselves Incapable ot conducting It without disaster at home and dishonor abroad, and shall be re stored to the party which for thirty years administered It with unettialed success and prosperity. A Projective Taril We renew and emphasize our allegi ance to the polity of protection aa the bulwark of American Industrial Inde pendence and the foundation of Amer ican development and prosperity. This true American policy taiea 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 the factory by the 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 the strength of each. In Its reasonable ap plication it Is 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 tariff on foreign Imimrts which come 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 the wage level of other lands. We are not pledged to any particular schedules. The question of rates Is a practical question, to he 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. Reciprocity With Oilier Nations. We believe the repeal of the reel proclty arrangements negotiated by the last Ri publican administration was a national calamity, nnd 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 lean products In the ports of other countries and secure the enlarged mar kets of our farms, forests nnd factories Protection and reciprocity are twin measures of Repulillcnn 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 up domestic Industry ami trade and secures our own market for ourselves. Reciprocity builds tip foreign trade and finds an outlet for our surplus. Protection to Suar 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 tho production on American soil of all the sugar th American people use, and for which they pay other countries more than JIOO.000,000 annually. Wool ami 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, a well a to the finished woolens of the mill we promise tho most ample protection. Merchant Marine. We favor restoring the early Amerl- OK TIUC REPUBLICAN. PARTY. can policy nf discriminating duties for the up-hulldln. of our merchant marine and the protection ot our shipping In the foreign carrying trade, so that American ships - thn product of Amer ican labor, employed In American ship yards, sailing under the Ktnra and Stripes, and manned, oilloeiod and owned by Americans may rnaln the carrying of our foreign commerce. The Financial Issue, "The Republican party Is unreserv rdty for sound money. It caused the enactment of the law providing for the resumption of specie payment In 1T; since then every dollar has been as good as gold. We are unalterably op posed to every measure calculated to de base our currency or Impair ths credit of our country. We are, therefore, op p.ned to the free coinage of silver, ex cept by International agreement wl'.h the leading commercial nations of the world, which we pledge ourselves lo promote, and until such agreement can be ubtalned w believe the existing gold standard must be preserved. All our silver and paper currency now In circulation must be maintained at a parity with gold, and we favor all measurea designed to maintain Inviola ble the obligations of the United Slates, and all our money, whether coin or paper, at the present standard, the standard of the most enlightened na tions of the earth." Tensions for Veterans. The veterans ot the Union armlee de serve and should receive fair treatment and generous recognition. Whenever practicable they should be given the preference In the matter of employ ment, and they are entitled to the en actment of such law aa best calculat ed to secure the fulfillment of the pledge mad to them In the dark days of the country' peril. W denounce the practice of the pension bureau so recklessly and unjustly carried on by the present administration, of reducing pensions and arbitrarily dropping name from the rolls, as deserving the severest condemnation of rbe American people. Foreign Relations. Our foreign policy should be at all time flrtn, vigorous and dignified, and all our Interest In the western hemis phere carefully watched and guarded. The 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 States, and by the purchase of the Danish Islands w should secure a proper and much-needed naval station In the West Indies. Armenian Massacres. The massacre In Armenia have aroused the deep sympathy and just Indignation nf the American people, and we believe that the United States should exercise all the influence It can 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 hazard and at any cost. Munroe l)oclrine. We reassert the Monroe doctrine In Its full extent and reaffirm the right of the l.'nulted States to give the doctrine effect by responding to the appeals of any American statu for friendly Inter vention In case of European encroach ment. We have not Interfered, and shall not Interfere, with the existing possession of any European power In this hemlspheie, 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, nnd the ultimate union of all the English speaking part of tho continent by the free consent of Its Inhabitants. Independence of Cub. From the hour of achieving their own Independence the people of the United States hnve regarded with sympathy the struggles of other American peoples to free themselves from European dom ination. We watch with deep and 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 resl- 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 oHlce to restore peace and give Independence to the Island. Enlargement of the Navy. The peace and security of the renuh. lie and the maintenance of Its rightful Influence among the nation of the earth demand a naval power commen. surate with Its position and responsi bility: We therefore favor the contin ued enlargement f the navy and a comijtue system of lisibor and e coast defenses, liniiilnratlon laws. For the iTtilecllon of the equality of our American cltlsenshlp and ot th wage of our worklugmen against the fatal competition of low-priced latjr, w demand that the Immigration law he thoroughly enforced, and so extend ed a t exclude from entrance to h United Stale those who ran neither read nor wrlle. Civil Smlcf. The Civil Service law wa plated on the statute book by the Republican party, which haa always sustained It, and w renew our repeated declara tion that II shall be thoroughly and honestly enforced and extended wher ever practicable. Fret? Ballot. W demand that every clllsen of the United Slate shall be allowed lo cast one free and unrestricted ballot, and that such ballot shall be counted and returned a cast. bnclilne Condemned. W proclaim our unqualified condem nation of the uncivilized and barbarou practices, wetl known as lynching or killing of human being, suspected or charged with crime, without process ot law. National Arbitration. W favor the creation of a national board of arbitration to settle and ad just differences which may arise be tween employer and employed eniaged In Interstate commerce. Free Homesteads. W believe In an Immediate return lo the free homestead policy of the Republican party and urge the passage by congress of the satisfactory free homestead measure which ha already passed the house and Is now pending In the senate. Admission of Territories. We favor the admission of ihe re maining territories at the earliest prac ticable date, having due regard to the Interests of the people of the territo ries and of Ihe United State All the federal officer appointed for the terrl torle shall be selected from bona (Ids residents thereof, and the right of self government shall be acorded as far as practicable. Alaska Representation. W believe the citizens of Alaska should have representation In the con gress of the United Htates.to (lit end that needful legislation may be Intelli gently enacted. Sumptuary Legislation. We sympathise with all wise and le gltln ate efforts to lessen and prevent the evils of Intcmjierance and promote morality. Rights of Women. The Republican party Is mindful of Ihe 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 thn admission of women t wider sphere of usefulness, and welcome their co-operation In rescuing the coun try from Democratic and I'upullst mis management and misrule. Such are ihe principles nnd policies of the Republi can purty. Ily these principle wo will nbldo and these principle we will put Into execution. We usk for them the considerate Judgment of thn American people. Confident nlllm In tho history nf our great party nnd In the Justice of our rauso, we present our platform nnd our considerations, In the full asnurunce that tho election will bring victory to thn Republican party and prosperity to the people of tho United States.
