The following platform was un
motion of Rufu4 Mallory, unaniroou-
ly adopted nt the Republican Statt
Convention, In Portland, lan wa
nesilay :
1. The representative of th r
publicans of the state of Oregon, in
eonventton assembled, call attention
to condition of industry and butl
nea4 through the country at proof of
the nece.ity of returning to the
policy of the republican party under
which there wan general prosperity
during 30 year.
2. We reaffirm tho principle of
tlm republican national platform of
I st2, ami ii.-rt that the reatilt thai
have followitl the I'linnge tleerewl by
the eltrlionn of that year have Jtistb
llii I our prntt-xt against the national
IKilicy niiniiuiif.il by the democratic
party.
.1. Wi' alllnii that a policy of con
MiKtcnt protection Im ncccHnary for ad
vanccuient ami conmrvatlon of our
industrial Intcrtta, for inaturance to
labor of Mcady employnient and
ad4uatt waKrf, for promotion and
maintenance of pr.jHjH'rity, local and
general. We Miint to the pant, and
to the contrast furnished by the pres
ent, in nupport tiflil claim, and we
censure and condemn the democratic
tariff program me, as loveloHHl in
congrchx, as highly injurious to tin
productive and industrial Interests ot
the country, and iu particular a
hurtful to those of our own state,
We denounce the notion of the dem
ocratic party In congress for its dis
crimination against producers In our
fields, forests and mines and In fuvor
of particular classes of manufactures,
chiefly of the Kant, nnd of nieclal
Interests In the South.
4. We rcalllrin the doctrine of the
republican party in relation tomonej
as Mated in its national platform ol
isiij, particularly as follows, towit
"The American Hople, from tra
dition and interests, favor bimetal-
ism, and the republican parly de
mands the uses of both gold anil
silver as standard money, with such
restrictions and under such pro
visions to he determined by legisla
tion as will secure tlh niaintennnct
of the parity of values of the two
metals, so that the purchasing and
debt-paying Kiver of I he dollar.
whether of silver, gold or papCTi
shall be at all times equal. The
Interests of (he producers of the
country, its fanners nnd its working-
men, demand that every dollar,
pajMT or coin, issued by the govern
ment shall be as gissl as any other."
V e commend the efforts made by
the government hitherto, to secure
an international conference to adopt
such measures as will insure parity
of value between gold and silver
throughout the world, and mil upon
it to renew and continue such efforts.
i. i ue eonsiruciioiioiine Nicaragua
canal Is of the highest importance li
the American xople, both hs a
measure of national defense and to
build up ami maintain American
comment1. It Is moreover or special
Importance to our Pacific states, and
we favor its construction as sHodlly
as possible by the government of the
Unltitl States.
U. We demand the enactment ol
rigid nstrictionson riwlgn immigra
tion both for protection of our country
against illiterate nnd vicious classes
from fon ign lands, and for protection
of our labor and preservation to our
own stpleof the remainder of our
national domain; and to these ends
we call for a suitable capitation tax
tiM)ii alt immigrants.
7. In our state affairs we demand
bmest scrutiny and economy in ex
penditures. We condemn the pnsli
gality and extfss of past legislatures,
and call upon the next legislative
assembly to keep all appropriations
within limits of the most economical
administration consistent with effi
ciency The officers of the adminis
trative departments of the state have
Income too cxsnsive, and their ex-
Knses mut ls nil need. When the
constitution fixes the salary, only
the constitutional salary should be
paid, without additional emolu
ments. The practice of employing
unnecessary clerks and of paying fees
in excess of Just payment for services
needed or rendered, has become an
abuse that must be cut off, and we
pledge the npublican party to pnise
cution and accomplishment of this
reform. I Mstrlct attorneys and other
officials should be paid fixed salaries,
since payment of fees encourages
litigation ami entails upon the tux
payers heavy and needless expense.
8. We commend the policy of the
republican party In relation to the
internal improvements, and in par
ticulnr in owning our waterways to
commerce and we denounce the Illib
eral ity of the demeemtic rty in
these tniortiint matters.
0. Experience In our fisheries has
shown that to prevent wholesale
destruction ot fish, all fish-trap, fish,
wheel and IWh-sclncs, and all other
gear now in use except the gill net,
should be slmlished.
10. That It I the sense of this
convention, that the coming session
of the legislature should pass an act
iirovidinir for the payment of all
taxes at two different times one-half
in the spring ami that other half in
tho fall, optional with th tat payer to
pay all in the spring in one pay.

AM OK ETONIAN'S IMPRtSSlOV.
Ed, Imik.i'Kxuknt : Alihouxh
the road question has been pretty
thoroughly trenched in your col
mot, since I returned from Callfor
ola I am more thoroughly convinced
of the Importance of good roads.
One party remarked to me, "you
webfooU get stuck In the mud all
winter, and we have to ship you In
something to live on," referring more
particularly to dairy product and
vegeUblea. They are certainly alive
all winter while we are clogged with
gum boots and not overshadowed
with clouds, but umbrellas, while
there they can ride out at any time
and in any dint'tlon, and thereupon
they crow on their country's winter
business capacity, but when the
truth is all told we fun about as well
as they. 1 noticed, a groat
many complaints of hard times, of
low prices of grain and fruit, es
pecially tropical fruits, oranges Mug
outsold by gotsl fresh Oregon apples
in the San Francisco market. I .
That a gissl many complained of
their) health, mostly due to cool
nights and sharp ch.tngettble winds,
while we in our rainy season have
generally, fresh natural weather. I
sent half a day at the fair, quile a
bright place as far as laudscuie is
concerniil, Hn will no doubt adver
tise west Sail Francisco, but for a
genuine agricultural display it is
rather fanciful to a liritishcr a great
display of fruits from lower Califor
nia like an immense store of oranges,
etc., and every county exhibit was
well supplied with preserved fruits
bat no better than we could produce
from Oregon and away Is-hlnd us In
roots ami vegetables. I did not st a
decent display of iMitatis. They
have bales uon hales ol their so
called best. hay in the world, of
wheat and alfalfa, while a nice gn-eu
well-cured bale of Oregon timothy
would have put any of it to shame,
and 1 verily believe my tares or
vetches would outgrow their alfalfa.
No specimen on the ground could
compare with it In length and it
seemed to Is hard am woody in the
ball. The exhibit of minerals I have
no doubt was highly intending to
people of that line, and the mechiin-
Icsand arts building had of cour-e
curiosities Iu , hut nearly every,
thing for Nile.
Two things ssii!ed the fair l me,
the amount of unoccupied space and
so many sideshows that always have
a chetipjohn hue lo me.
1 think Oregon missed It in not
making a sehnt exhibit. If 1 had
known it I could have sent out
something that would have been
creditable.
Rut attend to our roads we must;;
and winter dairying must have good
returns iu Washington county, at
uio prut's or tauter: only a lew
things an n-quisitc, (final feed, gxxl
cows and plenty of accommodation
about our barjs and barnyards.
Creameries should he encoiirairtsl,
they will concentrate lalsir and
make a better product and therohy
raise the price of the product and
reputation of our country.
Tho cheapest medicine, for our
roads under the circumstances would
be about 10 ounces of ditching, (our
oil Is easily ditched, a redeeming
qualification) and H ounces of grad
ing. Planking is Impracticable' a
new, nice-laid Iplank road is a good
road, bnt in n few years how many
half worn ones would we have?
The worst road in existence and to
re-lay Is mom work than ever, lt
them gravel the roads that have the
material. We have not got it.
Your corres)oiidents for and against
wide tires are no doubt both right.
Broad tiros are gcssl to pack river
gravel and would la a gomt thing
providing our roads were dry enough
to pack, but in slush they will dis
place more mud and dig out the
holes dee's-r. A sled would Is?
better. A. Chalmers,

MEXICtX BOLLABH AXIY AMERICAS
MIST.
It should be fully understood that
no question affecting our own cur
rency Is in any way Involved In the
resolution passed by the senate dur
ing the present week recorctneodlng
that permission shall be obtained tor
our mints to coin Mexican dollar.
The purposes of the resolution are. !
first, to open a larger market' for
American silver, and second, to pro
mote in some degree our trade with
Oriental countries, and particularly
with China. It will be remembered
that a few year ago American mint
coined a large number of so called
"trade dollars," which contained
more silver than the standard silver
dollars now current. These tradi
dollars were issued to meet a su
Mtscd demand from China and tin
East, where silver alone Is legal ten
tier eurretiey and the dodar the unit
and the favorite coin. Thecxperi
nient of lutntducing these American
dollars to China did not succeed, and
for the following reason : When thai
country first okiiiis its sirts t
Kuro'icaii nations the Mexican dollai
which contained a trifle more silvei
bullion than our own, was adopted
as the standard of value, and so i
remains today. The Chinese are a
conservative that Ihey will not ac
cept another silver dollar of etpnt
value or even a Mexican dollar bear
ing any other device but that will
which they are familiar.
China has no silver mines of Its
own and no public mint. It has,
however,' a practically unlimited
capacity for absorbing Silver. On
the other hand, Mexico has a very
limited capacity for producing tlx
only kind of silver that China b
willing to take. The Mexican minis
cannot coin more than IJ.'i.OOO.OOO a
year. The consequence is that the
demand for silver dollars for Hit
Chinese trade Is always so much in
exec of the supply that the dollar
actually command a premium in
New York. Now, plainly, here Is a
chance to dispose of large quantities
of American sliver in a safe and
profiiahle manner, If only we can
ohiiiln eriiilssion to turn our own
minis to the prodiictltiii of Mexican
dollars from our own silver. -TIm
proposition is to pay the government
of Mexico the selirnloraire of I. Id
i per cent., which if now demands at
! its own mints. Tims Mcxlct cannot
lose anything, I'ulTiay make ,i stnab
profit from the arrangement. It b
diflicult abo to is-rceive what senti
ments I reasons cm prevail undei
such circumstances tit deter Mcvici
from giving rmlssioii to it foreign
Ination to produce one of her coins
If the mutter shall be arraugi-d it
, will lie by treaty, aixl the senate res-
j olutimi directs the president to l'nin
tuifoilatioiis to that eu1. :
Kenitor John Sherman has given
his s)wcrful endorsment to the plan.
In the litfht of hisgrotit ci'mtIcikt
and well known conservatism then
Is nothing dangerous or Impractic
able in an eM'riment which will Is
of immediate benefit to American
producer of silver and mssihly an
advantage to the whole country iu
osning new markets for American
products. The foreign trade of China
is rapidly expanding. It will be
likely to expand with particular
celerity In the direction of the coun
try which has an abundance of the
kind of money in which China de
mands payment. American minis
cannot coiiijlollnrs faster than the
Chinese are willing to take them.
Thus the hojie is entertained that
one of the consequence of this move
ment will Is the rapid croation of
large nnd imMrtant trade relations
Is'tween our Pacific coast and China.
On the other hand, the Mexican
dollars are not unlikely to be called
for in other parts of tho world.
England nts-ds them, and is now
wylng a premium for them. There
is a large and constant demand for
them also in India, which has of late
been enlarging its commercial rela
tions with the East. The Rritish
government placed a duty uKn im
ports of silver bullion to India. Rut

There is one aspect of the unsavory

anceswhich hafiiot been considered

It when ho called attention to the

her testimony would In the nature of:
things have been very useful in
clearlnir ud certain mvsterles. "That '
woman Is alive and well In Ken

Pollard has never had a mother, but the reduction of wages. Within the
"Just growed," like Topsey, so
thoroughly has the fact of such re
lationship lstn kept out of ij;ht;

believe that the girl never derived

and sollcltlous protection and train- her Hsrest and dullest. Hard times,

Influence. She was anfiarentlv ist-'about Ut You need not tell us that
mitted to have her own way when
she was passing' through the most
dangerous period of her life, ami
when she stood In sintial need of
careful guidance. The process of
her development was left to fate; aud
fate Is more apt than not to play an
ironical part when it Is thus foolish
ly trusted.
It Is not to la wondered at thai
this girl's steps were turned into evil
ways when the conditions of Iter
early life are considered, she was
detached from the gracious and
beneficent ties and surroundings of
home when she was as yet compar
atively a mere child. The years
that she should have sent in the
close companionship and under the
watchful Instruction of her mother
were passed in boanlingsclnxils,
among straugvr, in an artificial and
demoralizing atmosphere. She had
an impulsive nature, a passionate
teniHTitment, without the knowledge
or cxrleni-e required to give Iter
proper self-control and to mark lor
her the line of prudence and safely.
It wa easy in mm-Ii a situation for
ner views of right nnd wrong to Ih-j
tune irtTverted. The temptations
that wen presented to her did not
put her on her guard ami quicken tlons, wo find them with us every
her sense of resistance as they would where, upon tho farm, and in the

mercy of undisciplined faculties and i
stormy propensities. This is not lo
e regarded as an excuse for her
traiisgressions, but it fiiri.Mii-s an
explanation, nnd at the same time
points a moral of general application.
The common idea that girls iu
this country arc able to take care of i
themselves, and that any suggestion
to tho contrary implies a mean and i
cruel suspicion, is a grave mistake, i
There is altogether too much lilterty ;
allowed to these choicest of society's
possessions. They tiro nil human,
and it is not wise' to treat them as if
they were constructed without ca
pacity of folly ami evil. The best of
them are not harmed by reasonable
and tender surveillance, and by the
sort of admonition that every mother
should know how to give w ith due
tact and discretion us the tttui.iug of
her ersonal experience. Rut as a
matter of fact, far too many mothers
neglect this snered service nnd n
sonslbillty through blind confidence
in the poor logic that their daughters
are different from others girls in
nature, instinct and tendencies. By
reason of the maternal laxity, as a
recent essayist graphically observes,
'victims are flung gagged to wolves
on the theory that the wolves will
turn flifcy by their companionship
with them." It is all well cnoui;h
to talk of frtssloni for girl, with
faith In their Inherent nnd incorrupti
ble goodness; but it is well to shield
them with every expedient of
parental care and every resount of
domestic defense, against the danger
that they are sure to encounter if
they are not to live in nunneries.
