Tho iiaper la so eloquent statement
of the jiolittcal situation.
The McMlunvllle blmeUltaU aeeui
to have ione over to tb demwraU
platform, candidate and all without
reservation. There are do bimetal
1st any more just democrats.
Watson did not flrnt utter the poli
tical euquiry "Where am I at" but
he gave it proinluence In that apeech
iu which he arraigned the Georgia
representative charging him with
drunkenneMrf when on the floor of the
house.
Thomas B. Hunt will take the
Htump in Maine next week. It can
be aid of Ms speeches that they

The aristocratic freebooter, lr.
Jameson, who invaded the South
African free State lattt winter ha
beeu tried on a charge of levying war
upon a peaceful ally and convicted.
He has been sentenced to prison
without labor for a term of 15
months. Ilia lieuteuants go for
terms of 5 to 10 months each.
The gabble of Bryan ami other
populistlc demagogues thit this la
to bo a campaign of the masses
against the classes is in itself mis
chevious and revolutionary. They
will rind, however, that the masses
are no more the fools they think
them than citizens who own proper
ty are knaves, and that the result
of the campaign will be a triumph
of intelligence and patriotism over
ignorance, impudence and anarchy.
It is a significant fuct that In the
list of ten items constituting the
mineral products of the United States
for 1895, silver represents less than
one-eighteenth of loo total value.
The eutput of coper was worth more
than that of silver, and the coal and
and Iron products were reswctively
three slmes as valuable. Hut nolxxly
is clamoring (or the purchase of these
other minerals by the Government
nt an exorbitant price for the bene
fit of the mine owners.
The Board of Regents of the Agri
cultural College have elected II. B.
Miller to be president of the School.
This is a departure from ordinary
methods In that It places bulsnesn
management of flnanaces above liter
ary attainments. It Is somewhat of
an experiment. The Board will pro
bably find out that the management
of the printing deiartment has been
boggled. The superintendency has
been divided and given to Geo. Clark
son of the former superintendent and
to Lester M. Iceland, a graduate, at a
salary of $500 each.
The Malheur Uaaette sensibly re
marks that It is now probable that Me
Kinley will have the combined stren
gth of the disgruntled, the hypoed,
the loc m1, the anarchist and entire
dangerous foreign element arrayed
against him. That is why he will get
the sensible Amerciau vote and that
of the desirable naturalixed citizen
in fact, the votes of all opposed to ri
bald ring rule and anarchistic luna
cies being In the ascendency at the
capital of the nation, where cool
headed men of known honor and in
tegrity are needed.
Gen. Sickles says that be ami his
comrades of the t'uion army were
not accustomed to use blank cart
ridges when in the presence of an
enemy; therefore, he does nut pro
pose lo throw away his vote on a
third candidate. Nor were they In
the habit of withholding their Are
when assallinl, therefore he doesn't
mean to stay at home and not vote
at all. "I shall give a patriotic vote
for my comrade, Msj. McKlnley,"
he declares, "believing that in so do
ing I am repealing what I did in '64
when, as a war democrat, I voted for
IJncoln and the Union."
A gentleman declared on the street
this week that no National laink In
the United States ever Issued any
currency or guarauteed Its Mynient.
He argured that no bank used any
National currency until It had la-en
famished by the government and
that the government would not Issue
it till the bank had deposited $1.11 in
sorurltles for every 1.00 currency
and even then the bank had to pay
an additional bonus of I r cent.
The gentleman claimed this to be a
better plan than the populist idea re
quiring the government to issue cur
rency direct since the government did
not have to guarantee the redemption
or bear the expense of printing, yet
Lad complete control of tbe Issue,
THE OFF Kit OFKEFUHUCASS.
Because the republican press and
sound money orators have len
bs the past ntonta jdiowin the
hlajty of the free silver cause and tbe
unfitness of Bryan for president un
tbe guidance ot Altgeld, let It uot be
supposed that republicans have noth
ing, to offer In place of the things
criticised. In 18'tt the republican
party proposed the homestead law
and enacted it Into law In 1600, to
gelher with all laws maintaining Un
original idea. The republican part
in the name of freedom and human
ity opposed the extention of slave
territory, and when tbe time came
furnished the man who aliolished
slavery from eleven states and a little
biter proposed and caused l I
adopted an amendment to the con
stitution that abolished slavery from
the other states. The republican
party proposed a revenue system
that carried ou the governuien'. paid
debts and built up Industries. It
proposed and created a currency sys
tem that make our r?!a..a-t -pit?
equal to those of any other natiou.
The soundness of tho financial ".
tem of the republK-an party lias u-v-er
been questioned even by llr.vuu
himself. In maintaining it no ex
periments are to be tried.
The present Industrial depression
la just what republicans four years
ago said it would be if the revenue
policy then proposed, were adopted.
The republicans now promise pros
perity If they shall be entrusted Willi
the national administration. , Tiny
know thet they can keep their prom
ise because the revenue system they
favor has always brought a revival of
industries, ami will agaiu. What
has always been true w 11 iiMiii be
true under like conditions.
In place of untried Bryan we oriVr
McKlnley, a man of splendid execu
tive ability and tried. In place of
tyrant Sewell or Ihe Watson, we of
fer that great organizer and success
ful business man, I lobar t. No one
has to ask who is McKlnley. He is
known In America, in Kurope, in
Asia. Not only do men know him
but he knows men. He is strong.
He is rcfted. He Is dignified.
He is honest. He has fixed politi
cal principles. He is a statesman.
He Is safe. Such we offer instead of
Young Mr. Bryan, the bolter, the
experimenter.
Citizens, Is not McKlnley a man to
Inspire confidence befre the other?
IHE IlEASoy OF IT.
A correspondent asks "why would
the free coinage of silver depreciate
Ihe value of our silver currency."
By free coinage of silver is mexut that
silver is to be coined on the same
terms as gold in other word, that
anybody who takes silver bullion to
the mint can get It coined Just as
anybody who takes gold bullion to
the nilut can get it coined. Well
then, Jones who owes 11)00 M
take 500 gold dollars to London
where he will buy enough silver with
it to coin Into 1000. This will be
used to discharge the debt, Smith
will do the samo thing, so will Big
low, and every other man who owes
a debt or a bank which has a deposi
tor. Thus the gold will bo in a leu
weeks banished from the country or
held for a preminum to be purchas
ed by importers of foreign merchan
dise. The brisk demand may swell
the price of silver, but the supply is
known too exceed any possible de
mand, hence silver bullion cannot go
much above fifty cents, for if it does
it will be to exnsive to use in arts
wherefore the demand becomes lim
ited again. Further; the man to
whom Jones pai I tho loon silver
dollars goes to Merchant to buy
goods when Merchant refuses to take
it except at a to or 50 per cent dis
count compared with gold. The
creditor realizes that we are on a sil
ver basis, that his 1000 has depreci
ated till it is worth but -V)0. An
other ugly fact. When Creditm
flnds the value of his 1000 contract
ed, the nation finds its 0OO,0iN),oo(i
silver currency also cut in two and as
a H-ople we are actually :IOO,iioo,o.io
poorer than now, to say nullunj.'
of what effect the change will have
on our paper.
The subject m.iy be put this oile r
way. All that a government dis s
under free coinage, either in gold or
silver, is to cert if) that the coins it
issues are of a certain weight and
tl neness, and they go fur what pi ople
choose lo take Iheui, except Hint
legal tender laws compel hojic to
take them at Iheir f.ice value fur
dettts. Our present silver dollars mic
worth their face in gold Itecaus.- they
were coined on Government utvnunl
and the government pledged
Itself to keep them ojual to gold, and
has been careful to Issue no more
than it could keep equal to gold.
No Government makes such a
pledge when it coins money for all
who come. Then its Mump
simply certtflts that Its coins are of a
certain weight and fineness, ;iod no
Government can, under sued circum
stances, any more make lifiy cents'
worth of silver buy a dollar's worth
of goods than it can make cts. wonh
of wheat buy a Hollar's worth of
goods. The legal tender laws enable
a man to p.iy old debts with coin not
worth its las, but it can not enable a
man to make new debts or huy any
thing at any price except t lint, at
which people fix on their goods, un I
the price will In fixed aecirding to
to the kind of money it Is to lie i:iid
in.

The Chicago democratic convention
nominated Bryan for president and
Sewell for vlcepresident and the po
ulLsts nominated Bryan, the same
man, for president and Wataon of
Georgia, for vice-president. . As far
beard from, Bryan ba uot accepted
the populist nomination. Bat when
lie does how it leave tuiugar Take
Oregon for au example. Here we
have three electoral tickets in tbe
Held, republican, democratic and
populist. Suppose there were but
82000 votes in the state of which the
republicans have ttltooo, the -o U
lists 23000 and the democrats iiWHJO.
Now If the votes this fall shall be
thrown as hero supposed the McKln

standing Bryan may be on Isith
democratic and ikiihiIM ticket. If
popHist want to fx aiid be absorla-d
by the democratic party they must
pull off their electoral ticket. Jf they
do that they will vote for Sewal and
not Watson. Iu some states
they are iroHising to put half item-
K-iauc t lectors and half populist. Ill
that way S well would get half the
votes and Watson half pro vili i g ul
ways that the electors are true to
their pledges. But supxse the fu-loii
tiuuid lie Buceesful as to Bryan there
would tie iio election of vlce-presi.

thrown into the Senate.
Iu many of the states a fusion now
seems impossible democrats refuse
to desert Sewal and populistj aland

SPKrXH AT A STATION.
A few days ago Gov. McKlnley
was at a School t'ommeneene ut in
an Ohio town. I'rem the couch as
he wasubotit to start home be made
the following remarks to the crowd
ou the platform whi. h me in uiHrked
contrast b th" u!t"rm.!H of Bryan:
"All of us are interested in Ihe we.
fare of our country, because in tin
welfare of our country is involved
the individual welfare of every citi
zen. If our great country is prosper
ous, then the people ure prosjicrous.
What we want no matter to what
political organiz ilion we may have
belonged In the past is a return of
the good times of years ago. ' We
want good prices and good wages,
and when we have them we want
them to be paid iu good money.
(Applause and crie.i of You are
right!") Whether our prices le high
or whether they be low, whether our
wages la; good or if they are bad,
they are all the belter by being paid
in dollars worth 100c each, (Tre
mendous cheering.)
If we have good wages then we
are doing better iu being paid in
good dollars. If we have poor wages
they are made poorer iu being paid
in MMr dollars. And, my fellow
citizens, what we want more than
anything, else is to keep our money
equal to the most enlightened nations
of the earth ajid maintain the credit
and honor of ihe Government of the
United States. (Great applause.) We
are the greatest country in Ihe world
greatest in our freedom, greatest
in our xasibilitie, greatest in our
opportunities, and we are too great
to taint our country's honor or to
cast suspicion upon the credit or ob
ligations ol our Government." (Ap
plause.) XKW VOKK I NOYKMItKli.
The New York Herald claims to
have made a close canvass of the
counties of New York State on the
silver question and its effect upon
political parties. It thus summar
izes :
Taking the poll of the counties
published yesterday anil the additions
given today, and estimating as
closly as possible the net losses of
each party in each county, as eoni-pnri-d
with the vote for President in
s!lj, ii remarkable overturning ol
the State appears to be probable.
Cleveland had ImI.L'Io votes ill
New York in 1112. and Harrison
HI I.L'JH giving a democratic majority
of 42,'.H7. With fifteen counties
missing the Herald's poll shows es
timated democratic losses from the
vole of 18SI2 f I1S.420, and a reptib
licau loss of of iiltlil, a net d mocratlc
defection of I i:,2"it. It is Micved
that the counties not estimated will
i in rense lather than lessen the dem
ocratic loss.
These llgures show tli it unless
there is a decided change of opinion

Ihe People' party, ateembled in na
tional conrention, reaffirms it allegi
ance to the principles devlmed by tiit
founder of the Republic, ami also l
the fundamental priucipl-M of just Kv
erumeut a enunciated in the platform
of tbe party in IHVi. We recount
that, thr-jngh tha couuiveiive of tbe
preceding admiuintration, the oouutry
ha readied a crisis in ita uatioual life
a predicted iu our . declaration four
year ago aud that prompt aud patriotic
action i the supreme duty of tbe hour.
We realise that while w have po'itical
independence, our financial and indus
trial independence is yet to be obtained
by restoring to our louiitry tie coneli
tutioual control aud exercise of tht
f auctions necessary to a eople govern
ment, which function have been basely
surrendered by our public aervaut to
corporate uionois.lies. The influence ot
European money chancer has beeu
more potent in ehapiiiK legislation thun
the voice of the American eop!e. Ex
ecutive power and patrouaKe have been
uned to corrupt our legislature and de
feat the will of the people, aud plutoc
racy ha thereby been enthroned niou
tlio ruin of democracy. To restore the
government intended by the fathers and
for tbe welfare and proeiwrity of thi
and fntnrs generations, we demand the
establishment of an economic and finan
cial system which shall make us maater
of onr own affairs aud independent of
Enropeau control by the adoption of the
following declaration of principle:
FINANCE.
First We demand a national money,
afe and aouml, issued by the general
Government only, without the interven
tion of bank of issue, to be full leffal ten
der for all debts, piivate and public, a
j nut, equitable and efficient uieau of dis
tribution direct to the wople and
throughout the lawful disbursement
of-the Government.
Second We demand the free aud nil
restricted coinage of silver and gold at
the present legal ratio of 111 to 1, and
without waiting for the concent of for
eign nation.
Third We demand the volume of cir
culating medium to be speedily in
creased to an amount miflicient to meet
the demands of the business and the
population of tin country, and to
reistoie the just level of price of labor
and production.
Fourth We deiiounoe the sale of
bonds ami the tucrease of public interest-bearing
debt made by the pres
ent Administration as unnecessary aud
without authority of law. and we de
mand that no more bonds be issued ex
cept by specific Act of Congres.
Fifth We demand inch legislation
as will prevent the demonetisation of
the lawful money of the United States
by private contract.
Sixth We demand that the Govern
ment, iu the payment of Its obligations,
uall use its option as to tbe kind ot
lawful money iu which they are to b
paid, and we denounce the present uud
preceding; Administration tor surren
dering this option to the holder of
Government obligation securitiea,
beventb We demand a graduated
income tax, to the end that aggregated
wealth shall beer its just proportion of
taxation, and we regard the recent de
cision of the Supreme Court relative to
the income tax law as a mUinterpreta
thai of the Constitution, au invasion of
the rightful power of Cougrews over
the subject of taxation.
Eighth We demand that postal sv
Itic.s banks be established by the Gov
ernment for the safe deposit of the
savings of tho people and to facilitate
exchange.
TRANSPORTATION.
First Transportation lsMng a means
ef exchange and a public uccesiity, the
Government should own and operate
the railroads in the interest of tba peo
ple on a nod-partisan basin, 1 1 the end
that all may be accorded la one treat
ment in transportation, a. id that the
tyranny and political jsiwer now exer
cised by the great railroad corporation,
which result in the i in airmen t, if not
the destruction of the political right
snd personal liberty of the cttisen, aiay
lie destroyed. Such ownership is to be
sccouiplished gradually in a manner
coimictcnt with sound public policy.

LAND.
Fir-t The true policy demands that
the national aud tiate legislation shall
be nuu as will ultimately enable every
prudent uud indutnoiu citiieu to
aeenre a home and, therefore, the laud
should not lie luom.polixed for specula

lawful uieuii", b- re :ui tiled by the
Uoveriimeut mid lul I lor actual settler

well as atieu ownership, should be pro
hibited. Second We coielemu Ihe frauds by
which the laud gruuu to the i'ueitic
ratlroad companies have, tlirougU tilt
oonnivaueeuf the Interior D psitiu.-nt,
robbed multitudes of boua tide settlers
of their home and miners of the.r
claims, and we demand legislation by
Cccgre which udi enforce tbe ex
emption of mineral land from such
grants after as wed as before patenting1.
Third We demand that bona Udu
et tiers ou all public lauds be grunted
free homes, as provided in the Nationu
Homestead law, and that no exception
be made in the case of Indian reserva
tions wheu opeued for settlement, and
that all lands not now pateuted come
under this demand.
DIRECT LEGISLATION.
W favor a system of tlirect legisla
tion through the initiative aud referen
dum under proper constitutional safe
guard. GENERAL PROPOSITION
First We ileiuailil the election of
President, Vice-President and Uaited
btate Senator l-y tliiect vote of the
people.
Second W tender to the patriotic
people of Cuba our deepest sympathy
iu their struggle for p l.tical freedom
aud independence, and we believe the
time has come wheu lie United States,
the great republic of the world, should
recognize that Cuba ii, aud of right
ought to be, a tree und iudes-udent
stale.
Third We favor home rule in the
territories aud the District of Colum
bia, and the early adiuisniou of the ter
ritories as states.
Fourth Alt publio salaries should bd
made to correspond to Ihe pice of labor
and its products.
Fifth Iu Units of great industrial
depression, idle htljor hoiild be em
ployed on public works as fur as prac
ticable. Sixth The arbitrary course of the
courts iu assuuiiiix to imprison citizens
for indirect ton tempt and ruling them
by iujuuotiou should be prevented by
proper legislation.
Seventh We favor just 'tensions for
every disabled Union soldier. .
Eighth Believing that the elective
franchise aud nulramuieled ballot ure
essential to a govern men t of, for and
by the people, the People's parly con
demn the wholesale system of iliseii
franchisement adopted iu some of the
state as nnrepuhlicuu aud iiiiilaiiiocratir
and we declare it to be the duty of the
several Htste Legislature to take such
action as will seen re a fall and free aud
fair ballot and au honest c unit.
Ninth While the foregoing proposi
tion constitute the platform which our
party stands upon, uud tor the vindica
tion of which its organisation w ill be
maintained, we recognize that the great
and pressing issue of the pending cam
paign upon which Ihe Presidential elec
tion will turn is the financial question.
and upon this great and speeiltc issue
between the parties we cordially invite
tbe aid and co-oHratioii of all organiz

of the Demisra'ic s Tver plu in to-to:
but, by a vote of s-xleen lo rive, the
the anb-couimitttH) was instructed to
report the following platform:
The National Silver party, iu conveu
tiou assembled, hereby adopts tiie fol
lowing declaration of principles:
First Tbe puraiuoutit kmio at this
time iu the United States is indisputa
bly the money qnetiuii. It is betwetn
the gold standard, gold bonds and bank
Currency on one side, and the biuieti 11 c
Standard, no bonds and government cur
rency on the uth. r.
On thi issue we declare onr fives to
re in favor of a distinctively Anieric .n
financial system. We are unulieiiibiy
oppoied to the single goldstanilunl. and
demaud the immediate return to the
constitutional standard of gold and sil
ver by the restoration by this govern
Uieut, independently of any foiin
power, of the unrestricted coinage of
gold uud s.lvi-r as tne standard money
at the ratio of 10 to 1, hikI u;iou b ruis
of exact iqti-iiiiy as lliey existed prior
to 181 tt; the silver coin to be a full legal
t-nd-r, equally with gold, for all debts
aud u-es, public and private; and we
favor such legislation as will prevent
for the future the demonetization of any
kind of legal-tender money by private
contract.
We bold that the power to control
and regulate a pajiev currency is insep
arable from the power to coin money,
ud hence that all currency intended to
circulate as money should lie issued and
it volume controlled by the gite-ral
government ouly, uud should Is.- legal
tender.
We are unalterably opposed ti the

Tho following words of J.nics (J.
Blaine before the present Adinlstra
tiou came into iwer, prove him to
have had the inspiration of a pro
phet, for ho predicated not only the
present condition of the country, but
tho events which have brought it in
to this distress and troulla'. And he
points out the remedy :
"1 love my country and my coun
trymen. I am an Auicrcian, and rc
Jolee every day that I am. I enjoy
the general proserity of my country
and I know that the workiugmen of
this country arc thd best paid, the
best fed and tho best clothed of any
Is' Hirers on the fai of the earth.
Many of them have homes of their
own. They are surrounded by all
the comforts and many of the luxur
ies of life. I shudder, however, at
the thought that the time must (tome
when all this will be changed; when
the general prosperity of the country
will la destroyed; when the great
body of workiugmen in this land
who are now so prosper n us wilt hear
their wives and children cry fur
bread; that the day must come
when the great factories and maiitif
actories;oftlils land wllllshut dowiii
and where is now life and activity
there will la silence of the tomb.
And the reason why this must be so
is this: The great Southern wing of
the democratic parly is determined
to establish the doctrine ol free trade
In this land. They will la assisted
by the Northern allies.
'There is a great body of visionary
but educated men, who arj employed
tiny by day iu writing fe trade
essays and argument in favor of the
doctrine, which rind their way to
every newspupvr in the land. The
great b xly of our people have nover
experience! them-elves tho sufferings
which always result when protective
principles are laid usable. Poisoned
and excited by the wild statements
of these writers and the demagogic
apKnls of the demis-ratlc ss?akers,
the result w il be that in the very near
future those forces which are now
working will iki strong enough lo de
feat at the polls the party advocating
the doctrine of protection. It must
inevitably follow that uncertainty
and doubt will ensue. The business
men of the country, fearing the de
struction of the principles of protec
tion, will decline to engage in buisness
consequently mills will shut down
and the work logman will lie thrown
out ot employment. The asiple will
then see as they never have seen 13.

sufferings they will learn that tho
only way lliey csn I? proMrnus
and happy Is to vote for the party
that h is built up the liidrnstries by
which lliey have gained a livelihood;
