The North Carolina Republicans
have bewn Informed by the national
committee that relations with them will
be suspended unless they adopt a
sound money platform. When the na

iwt one brand of Republicans.
Now they are talking of the probabil
ity of a majority of 600.000 for McKln
ley In Pennsylvania. It certainly does
look as If things were all going one
nay in that state and many others.
But that must not deter Republicans
from making an aggressive fight right
ap to the day of the election.

The accounts In another column of
recent excursions In the mountains in
Clatsop county by a number of prom
inent citizens, only emphasize the
statements which have been made in
these columns from time to time that
Clatsop county is the most favored
pot in the state of Oregon, and one
of the few attractive places on the
North Pacific coast Considered aside
from any commercial interests, where
can there be found so great a variety
of climate and scenery In so small a
compass. On the one side Is the grand
Pacific ocean, its shores lines with
long stretches of sandy beaches, for
ests, hills and rocks, and at the other
extreme of the county Saddle Moun
tain and the range of high hills af
ford every manner of recreation and
change of climate which can be had
in any mountainous country. Upon
the seashore surf bathing and similar
sports may be had In every variety,
and near by In the small streams fine
trout fishing, boating and other sports
lend diversity to the seaside visitor.
But a few miles away, and those who
need a higher elevation and more rarl
fied atmosphere can find all that Is re
quired In the Up:er Nehal-m, where
also mountain streams filled with trout
and the dense forests with deer, elk
and bears, offer magnificent sport to
the hunter. It is unnecessary for Clat
sop county people to go far from home
in order to secure any kind of sport
or change in climate suited to the ne
cessities of their physical systems, or
sporting tendencies. Not much has
been said upon this subject at home
or abroad, and it might be well for
those entertaining strangers in our
city to explain to them the unequaled
advantage afforded here from the not
unimportant standpoint of pleasure.
STEWAliT WAS SENSIBLE.
Here is what Senator Stewart said
on the currency question in the United
Stati'S senate February H. l'74:
"Let everybody know what a dollar
is worth. The farmer will then know-
how to measure the difference in price
between his wheat In Illinois and the
wheat In Liverpool. The wheat will be
measured by the same standard gold
In Illinois as It Is in Liverpool, and
any man ran figure it up. Hut now It
h a mystery-; the whole subject of
finance Is a mystery, and what do we
see every day? We see those who de
vote attention to it making fortunes
out of this mystery.
"Let us do as all the people of the
world have been doing from the begin
ningmeasure our values by gold,
adopt the standard that all can under
stand and get rid of this mystery."
Mr. Logan What does the senator
want?
Mr. Stewart I want the standard of
gold and no paper money not redeemed
In gold, no paper money the value of
which is not certain, no paper money
that will organize a gold board to
speculate In It. Who pays for this
gold board? Who pays these Immense
fortunes? How Is It that millions and
millions can be rolled up annually
there? Did anybody ever calculate
wh paid for it? It comes out of the
products. How do these men exist?
By the latitude which your depreciated
currency gives to cpeculation, and
nothing else. Persons who are spec
ulating in your depreciated currency
are making the money, and they will
continue to do bo as long as you have
a depreciated currency.

Philadelphia Times.
In all the history of our political con

candidate who has ever attempted
appeal to the lowest class prejudices
public speeches to promote his elev

utterances must bring the Candida
who utters them into contempt wl
all Intelligent and considerate Amort

Abraham Lincoln said In disoussin
the same question before the peopl
the country:
"Property is the fruit of labor. Prop

assuring that his own shall be safe
from violence when It is built."
This was the utterance of one of the
"plain people," or one of the "common
people." of whom Mr. Bryan so fre
quently speaks. Mr. Lincoln was born
close to mother earth, and was eve
in touch with the common people
the land. He knew that they honor?
themselves Just as they honored Integ
rity and manliness in all the varied
relations of life, and he Illustrated the
highest standard of American citlien

In the agony of summer complaint,
you can realize the danger of the trou-

The dyspeptic carries a dreadful load
on his back. It seems as If 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
stipation 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
bum, 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 for
this condition. They are not violent In
action.

THE VENOMOUS BREATH OF MA
LARIA Does not Infect the system of those
who use Hostott-r's .Stomach Hitters
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
f 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 larid 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.

Th Republican of th fulled 8tie,

thiir claims to tho umlchlo achieve
ments of thirty years of Republican
rule, earnestly and contldcntly address
themselves to the nwnkeni'd Intelli
gence, experience and conscience of
their countrymen In the following dec
laration of facts and principles:
For the first time nine th Civil
War the American people have wit

conducting It without disaster at home
and dishonor abroad, and shall be re

years administered It with unequaled
success and prosperity
A I'mtt'ctivf Tarill.
We renew and rmphaalz our allrgl-
ance to the policy uf protection a th
bulwark of American Industrial Inde
pendence ami the foundation of Amer
ican development and prosperity. Thl
true American policy taxe foreign pro
duct and encourage home Industry;
It put the burden of revenue on for
eign goods. It si-cures th American
market for the American producer; It
upholds th American standard of
wage for the American worklngman;
It put the factory by the aid of the
farm, and makes th American farmer
less dependent on foreign demand and
price; It diffuses general thrift and
found the atrength of all on th
strength of each. In It reasonable ap
plication It I Just. fair, and Impartial.
equally opposed to foreign control and
domestic monopoly, to sectional dis
crimination and Individual favoritism.
We denounce the present iK-mocratlo
tariff as sectional. Injurious to the pub
lic credit and destructive to business
enterprise. We demand such equitable
tnrlfT on foreign Imports 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 depredation to the
wage level of other lands. We are not
pledged to any particular chedule.
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. Th
rouutry demands a right settlement
and then It want rest.
Reciprocity With Oilier Nations.
We believe the repeal of the reci
procity arrangements negotiated by the
la.it Republican administration was a
national calamity, and we demand
their renewal and extension on such
terms us will equalize our trnde with
othe r nations, remove the restrictions
which now obstruct the sale 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, nnd 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, reslprncal 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 secure? our
own market for ourselves. Reciprocity
builds up foreign trade and finds an
outlet for our surplus.
Protection to Snj?ar 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 soil of all the sugar the
American people use, and for which
they pay other countries more than
J10O,O00,OO0 annually.
Wool and Woolens.
To all our products to those of the
mine and the Meld, 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 a to
the finished woolens of the mill we
promise the mot ample protection.
Merchant Marine.
We favor restoring the early Amert-
REPUBLICAN PARTY.
can policy of discriminating dullo for
the up.hulldlhg of our merchant marine
and the protection of our shipping In

American ships-tho product of Amcr
lean labor, employed In American ship
yards, sailing under th Htnr and
Stripe, and manned, nrhVeted and

carrying of our foreign rominerv.
The Financial Issue.
"The Republican party I unreserv
edly for uind money. It caused th
enactment of the law providing for the
resumption of pin payment In l7
lnce then every dollar ha been
good a gold. W are unalterably op
poaod to evrry measure calculated to d
base our currency or Impair th credit
of our country. We r. therefore, op
posed to the free colnag of silver, tx
crpt by International agreement with
the leading commercial nation of the
world, which we plodgn oiirsclve to
promote, and until such agreement can
be obtained we believe th rxlstllig
Hold standard must bo preserved. All
our silver and paper currency now In
circulation must be maintained at a
parity with gold, and w favor all
measure designed tn maintain Invlola
bio th obligation of the I'nlted
States, and all our money, whether coin
or paper, at the present standaid, the
staudard f the moat enlightened 11 a
tlotia of the earth."
Pensions fur Veterans.
The veteran of the t'nlon article d
serv and should recolv fair treatment
and grnenu recognition. Whnvr
practicable they should be given th
preference In th matter of employ
ment, and they ar entitled to th en
ac'ment of such law a best calculat
ed to secure the fulfillment uf the
pledge mad to them In the dark day
of th country' peril. W denounc
the practice of the penihin bureau so
recklessly and unjustly carried on by
th present administration, of reducing
pension and arbitrarily dropping
name from th roll, as deserving th
severest condemnation of th American
people.
Forrign Relations,
Our foreign policy hould be at all
times firm, vigorous and dignified, and
all our Interest In th western hemis
phere carefully watched and guarded.
The Hawaiian Inland should be con
trolled by the United State and no for
eign power should b ptrtnltetd to In
terfere with them. Th Nicaragua
Canal should be built, owned and op
erated by the I'nlted States, and by
the purchase of the Danish Island w
should secure a proper and much-needed
naval station In the West Indie.
Armenian .Massacres
The massacre In Armenia have
aroused the deep sympathy and Just
Indignation of the American people,
and we believe that th I'nlted States
hould exercise all the Influence It ran
properly exert to bring these atrocities
to an end. In Turkey, American resi
dent have been exposed to the gravest
danger and American property de
stroyed. There and everywhere Amer
ican cltlxens and American property
must bo absolutely protected at all
hazards and at any cost.
Monroe Doctrine.
We renssert th Monroe doctrine In
Its full extent and reaffirm the right nf
the I'miltcd States to glvo the doctrine
effect by responding to tho appeals of
any American state) for friendly Inter
vention In case of Kurnpenn enerouch-me-nt.
We have not Interfered, and
shall not Interfe-re, with the existing
possessions of any F.uropean power In
this hemisphere, but those possessions
must not, on any pretext, be extended
o hopefully look forwnrd to the
eventual withdrawal of the Kuropean
powe rs from this hctnlsphe-ro, ami the
ulllmuto union of all the English
npcnKing pan or mo continent py the

Independence of ('lib.
From the hour of nehlevlng their own
Inde pendence the people of tho I'nlted
States have regarded with sympathy
the struggles of other American peoples
to free themselves from Kuropean dom
(nation. We watch with deep and abid
ing Interest the heroic battle of the Cu
ban patriot 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 obllgntlones, we believe
that the government of tho United
Slates should actively use Its Influence
and good offices to restore peuce and
give Independence to tho Island.
Enlargement of the Navy.
The peace and security of tho repub
lic and the maintenance of Its rightful
Influence among the nations of the
earth demand a naval power commen
surate with its position and responsi
bility. We therefore favor the contln-
ued enlargement of the navy and a
complete system of harbor and
csiasl defense,
