Increase for the Republicans In New Tork as that shown In the Maine election will make McKlnley's majority nearly one mil lion votes). A prominent Astoria banker, Int he Interest of one of his customers, had accaslon on Monday morning; to send a telegraphic inquiry to San Francisco concerning the selling: price of a cer tain block of stock In the Alaska Pack er's Association. The best offer he euold obtain was 92 cents. On yester day morning aftert he announcement f the returns from Maine, he receiv ed an offer from the same parties he bed been In negotiation with Just twenty-four hours before of 95 cents for the stock. This la a good illustration of the state of feeling all over the coun try, and It shows how rapidly public confidence is rising with the prospect of McKlnley's election. The question of how soon business will revive after the election depends simply on the site and overwhelming character of McKIn ley's majorities. The London Statist says: "From an Interesting article by a Russian writer In a French Journal we learn that the agricultural Industry In Russia is pas fng through a very severe crisis, ow ing. In the first place, to the antlquateed methods of farming still generally in ase In Russia, and secondly to the Tery low prices obtainable for grain during the past few years. Strange to say. It is the large class of farmers which has suffered most, the small peasant farmers being said to' have done very well, while their larger elghbors have been practically ruined. There has. In consequence, been a good deal of cutting of big farms Into small ones, a process which the writer in question believes will continue, and that consequently wheat-growing, so unprofitable of late years, will, to a great extent, be neglected In favor of the cultivation of linseed, beet and fruit. In course of time. In fact It is regarded as possible that Russia, which at present exports from 16.000,000 to 18,000,000 quarters of wheat per annum, will simply grow sufficient for her own consumption." The enthusiastic opening cf the cam paign in Clatsop county last night by the McKlnley Club Is a good Indication of the trend of political matters in Clatsop county. One of the notable features of the evening was the sign ing of the roll of the club by a num ber of Democrats vhi wis!-el ;j place themselves on record for sound money and the maintenance of the fundamen tal principles ef the government. The canvass of the city during the day, also, by Mr. Max Pracht, the repre sentative of the National Tariff League of Chicago, developed many interesting facts. Clatsop county is all right and will stand pat In November for the perpetuation of the unsullied credit of the United States, the protection of Its workmen, and the establishment of sound business principles. While the eutlook Is most favorable in every re spect, not only in Clatsop county, but throughout the country, we must not make the mistake of laying on our oars. The same hard work energy and push that has been exhibited up to the present tl;ne must continue until the . day of election. A crisis is at hand In our national affairs, which cannot be Ignored. And every man In each little community must be wide-awake to the situation and do his utmost for the general cause. Only unanimous and harmonious action have won the victories In the past, and only Inces sant watchfulness and hard work will win the overwhelming majorities in November necessary to a complete vic tory for Rood government and an ever lasting stoppage of the present mone tary and socialistic craze. Let each one, big ar.d little, buckle cm the armor and stand by the watchword of pro tection and unsullied credit. WEBSTER ON BRYANISM. In his admirable letter of acceptance, Mr. McKlnley quotes a timely and striking passage from one of Web ster's speeches admonishing the people against devices Intended to create an tagonisms between different classes of citizens. Much more matter of present value might be extracted from that speech. In fact, the whole of it has significant relation to the existing slt satlon. It was delivered in the senate, January 31, H34, against a currency degrading proposition similar to the one which is now being advocated by the Democrats and Populists. The great orator was never more eloquent than on that occasion, when he pleaded for the maintenance of an honest standard of value, and against the substitution of cheap money for money of a sound and reputable character. He described In vivid terms the evils that would surely follow a depreciation of the cur rency, and cited historical examples to prove the folly and wickedness of such a policy. Power was given to congress over the money system of the country. he declared, for the express purpose of protecting the people against such a calamity, and not to furnish opportu nity In the other direction. The Interest of "the great tolling massvs."aa Mr. ltryan calls thorn, In the matter of honest as opposed to dis honest money, was dwelt upon by Web ster with particular emphasis. "Sir," he said, "the very man of all othei who sudors most by mischievous legis lation concerning the currency Is the nan who earns hlr daily bread by his daily toll." The capitalists, he wont on to explain, could take care of them selves by hoarding their money, or even reap a protlt from the hard times by preying on the earnings of the masses. "Hut the laboring man." he exclaimed, "what can he hoard? His property is In his hands. His reliance, his fund, his productive freehold, his all. is his labor. Whether he work on his own small capital, or another's, his living is still earned by his Industry. and when the money of the country becomes depreciated or debased, wheth er it be adulterated win or paVer with out credit, that Industry Is robbed of Its reward. He then labors for a coun try whose laws cheat him out of his bread." These words of one of the msot distinguished of American states men are directly and forcibly applicable to the present political situation. They present the free silver question In Its true light, and show plainly what the consequences of the election of Hryan would be to the people who work for a living. Surely the advice of such a man Is worth heeding; and the man who votes against it will give himself cause for deep regret. A GEM FROM SPEAKER REED. Thos. B. Reed has said and written many pungent paragraphs but none better than the following in his intro duction to "Protection and Prosper ity:" "Somehow or other, times like these are great educators. How very fine used to be the sneer about lifting one's self by the bootstraps! How clear used also to seem the demonstration that tares could create nothing! What a fine, large mouth the consumer had those days, and how puny and unwor thy seemed the hands of the producer! Now the unfilled mouth has discove red who owns the hands. This book will show you that this has been the history of nations, a hundred times; nay, It has been the history of our own nation half a score of times In our short life. Like the Spanish Grandee In the Cem etery we were well and wanted to be better, took medicine, and here we are. Is It worth while to undergo this death and resurrection again? We shall never do It If we lay fast hold on the facts of the universe. There may be a time come when nations will be no more, when the brotherhood of man may be established, when communica tion may be so rapid, when we shall be so equally advanced In civilisation. that nobody will care where he lives or is buried: when distance shall break no ties, and when the universal language Is spoken by everybody without accent; in that time we may lose nationality and become citizens of the world. Then free trade may relpn. But such a time will not happen within the hundred years which center In that week when two English speaking nations were ready to clutch each other by the throat about a boundary' thousands of miles away, and "the German emperor was ready to fight the kingdom of his grandmother about some people in Af rica whose ancestors left the father land so long ago that history Is not quite sure when they did leave It. Na tionality is a fact, brotherhood Is a hope. Perhaps If we live up to our fact, that may be the best way to arrive at our hope."

Tit fM- 1 fa n ttlrv Declaration of Principles The Republicans of lb l ulled Htiilcs. assembled by their representatives In .National Convention, appealing for the popular and historical Justification of tli.lr claims to the matchless achieve ments of thirty years of Republican rule, earnestly and confidently address themselves lo the awakened Intelli gence, experience and conscience of their countrymen In the following dec laration of facts and principles: For the Unit time since the Civil War the American people have wit nessed the calamitous consequences of full atol unrestrained lvmiertlc con trol of the Government. It has been a record of unpurnllcd Incapacity, dis honor and disaster. In administrative management it bus ruthhssly saerlllo ed Indlspenslble revenue, entailed an unceasing deficit, eked out ordinary current expenses with borrowed money, piled up the public debt by .1.rtO0,0o0 In 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 dicates and reversed all the measures and results of successful Republican rule. In the broad effect of I's 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 safely and Individual Interest demands that the government shall be rescued from the hands of those who have shown themselves Incapable of) conducting It without disaster at home and dishonor abroad, and shall be re stored to the party w hich for thirty years administered II with unequaled success and prosperity. A Protrrtivf Tarlil. We renew and emphaslte our allegi 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 the factory by the side of th farm, and makes the American farmer less dependent on foreign demand and price; It diffuses general thrift and founds the strength of alt on th 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 lmort which come Into competition with American pro ducts as will not only furnish adequate revenue for the necesaary expenses of the government, but will protect Amur lean labor from dcgredatlon to the wage level of other lands. We are not pledged to any particular schedules The question of rates Is a practical question, to be governed by th rondl tlona 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 luM Ui publican administration was national calamity, and we demand their renewal and extension on such terms as will equnllz') 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 enlarge. 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 muBt be re-established, protection for what we produce, free admission for the necessaries of life which we don't produce, re.-iprocal agreements of mu tun I Interest w hich gain open markets for us In return for our open market to others. Protection builds up domestic industry and trade nna 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 the production on American soil of alt the sugar tha American people use, and for which they pay other countries more than JIW.OOO.OOO annually. Wool and Woolens. To all our products to those of the mine and tha field, ,an 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- REPUBLICAN PARTY. , o.tn policy of discriminating duties for ' the up-lndUIIng of our merchant marine and the protect Ion of our shipping In the foreign carrying trade, so that American ships -the product of Amer ican labor, employed In American ship yards, sailing under tha Stars and Stripes, and manned, officered and owned by American may regain the carrying cf our foreign commerce. The Financial ksuc. "The Republican party I unreserv edly for sound money, It caused In enactment of the law providing for (he resumption of specie payments In lSTf; 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 th credit of our country. W are, therefore, op posed lo the free coinage of silver, ex cept by International agreement with the leading commercial nations of the world, which we pledge ourselves to promote, and until such agreement ran be obtained w believe tha existing gold standard must be preserved. All our stiver and paper currency now In circulation must be maintained at a parity with gold, and we favor all measures designed to maintain Inviola ble the obligations of the United States, and all our money, w hether coin or paper, at the present standard, the standard of the most enlightened na tions of the earth." Pensions for Veterans. The veterans of the t'nloti armies de serve ami should receive fair treatment and generous recognition. Whnvr practicable they should be given the preference In the matter of employ ment, and they are entltUd to th en actment of such laws as beat calculat ed to secure th fulfillment of th pledge mad to them In the dark day of the country's peril. We denounce the practice of the pension bureau to recklessly and unjustly carried on by the present administration, of reducing pensions and arbitrarily dropping names from the rolls, as deserving the severest condemnation of the American people. Foreign Relations, Our foreign policy should be at all time Arm, vigorous and dignified, and alt our Interests In the western hemis phere carefully watched and guarded. The Hawaiian Island should be con trolled by the United Stales and no for elgn power should lie permltetd to In terfere with them. The Nicaragua Canal should bo built, owned and op erated by tha t'nlted State, and by th purchase) of the Danish Island w should secure a proper and much-needed naval station In the West Indies. Armenian Massacres. The massacres In Armenia have aroused the deep sympathy and Just Indignation of 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 clttxens and American nmtiertv must be absolutely protected at all hazard and at any cost. Monroe Doctrine. We reassert the Monroe doctrine In Its full extent and reaffirm the right of the Umiltcd State to give the doctrine effect by responding to the appeals of any American state for friendly Inter vention In co of European encroach ment. We havo not Interfered, and shall not Interfere, with the existing possessions of any European power In tills hemlsphete, 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 ultimate, union of all the English- speaking part of the continent by the free consent of Its Inhabitants. 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 peoples to free themselves from European donv Inatlon, We watch with deep and abld Ing 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 resl- dent American citizens or to comply witn Its treaty obllgatlones, we believe that the government of the United States should actively use Its Influence and good offices to restore peace and give Independence to the Island. EnlarK'cmenl of the Navy. The peace and security of the 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. Wo therefore favor the contln ued enlargement of the navy and a nf hurhor and liiiniliwtion laws. Kor the .otcctlon of the equality of our American titlseushlp and of the wages of our wot kinsmen against lb fatal competition of low-priced labor, w demand that the Immigration laws be thoroughly enforced, and so tend ed a lo exclude from entrance lo th United States those who ran neither read nr write. Civil Service. Th Civil Service law was placed on th statute hook by th Republican parly, which ha always sustained It, and w renew our repeated declara tion that It shall be thoroughly and honestly enforced and extended wher ever practicable. Free Ha Hot. W demand that every rltlsen of th United State shall be allowed lo rast on free and unrestricted ballot, and that such ballot shall be counted and returned as cast. I.nchln;' I'oriili'iiinnl. We proclaim our unqualified condem nation of the uncivilised and barbarous practices, well known as lynching or killing of human being, 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 aria be tween employer and employed engaged In Interstate commerce. Free Homesteads. W believe In an Immediate return to th free 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 th senate. Admission of Territories. We favor the admission of th re maining territories at the earliest prac ticable date, having due regard to the Interests of the people of the terrlto rle and of th United State All the federal officers appointed for the terrl torle shall be selected from bona fid residents thereof, and th right of elf government ihall be aenrded a far as practicable. Alaska Representation. We believe the clttsen of Alaska should hav representation In the con gress of the United Slates. to the end that needful legislation may be Intelli gently enacted. Sumptuary Legislation. W sympathise with all wise and le- gltln ate efforts to lessen and prevent the evils of Intemperance imd proniot I murl"r- Klchts of Women. The Republican party Is mindful of the rights and Interests of women.
