The Argus last week apologises in
a way for its uncalled for attack on
Congrssman Tongue and eases his
conscience by saying It is not Tongue
citizen, that he Httacks but
Tongue politician. Now neither the
Argus nor the Corvallis Times nor
any other paper lias more right to
attack a man in his political life than
in his private capacity, and least ol
all is he justified in misquoting or
distorting the utterances of an oppo
nent. The J ndki'KN iiknt had
thought that a simple contradiction
thai .Mr. tongue nail even heiit or
advocated tree silver coinage would
be sufficient but it seems that a de
tailed denial must he made, so the
sMiner it is d( ne and out of the wav
the better. It is test to take them
in order so the Corvallis Times shall
la first. In its issue of February 2d.
the following editorial paragraph
appeared :
'Congressman Tongue for the gold
standard, violently, radically for th
gold standard. Hear him in fil
iate HiKS-ch: 'Payment of the twind
in anything but gold would commit
the great fanning classes of the Un
ited IStates to sell the nation, to sell
the national honor, stain the nations
name, brand upon the fair brow of
the American republic the words re
pudiation and dishonesty. It would
commit the county to the tlnam-ia
policy of semi barbarous nations., '
llie "late speech" relerrol to is
evidently Tongue's speech in the
House of Itepresentatives in oposi
tion to the Teller resnlutirin. To any
one who has read that speech, it is
not necessary to say that the fore-
gmng paragraphs purporting to la a
puliation from It, Incluilisl In quo
tation marks and ascrilssl to Con
gressman Tongue is an undisguised
forgery. No such words or senti
ments are contained in the sp-ech
I'ongiie never used the language at
tribuied to him, either in that speech,
or any other that he ever made. On
the contrary the sentiment and ex
pression to which he did give utter
ance were absolutely opposite to
thoseat.ri tu led to hitn.
In tne tirst portion of his speech
he uses the following language:
"Mr. Spe aker, The resolution we
are now considering contains two
dirlaratlolis. The tirst part is a
statement 'that all the honds of Un
united States ts-aied under the said
acts of iHingress hereiiila-fore recited
are payable, principal and interest al
the option of the government of tin
United States in silver dollars of the
ivinag.' of the United Stales coiitain
"mit 1 1-1 grains each of standard sil
ver This is simply a statement of ex
isting laws. It neither makes,
amends, nor changes a single line or
provision of any siatuteof the United
State. Why is this part of the reso
lution offered? Under present laws
the silver dollars of the United Mates
are a legal lender for the payment of
every Ismd the (1 iveriliiient ever Is
sued. No one dispute that. If
they were not, the passage of this re
solution would not make them so.
Iteing a legal tender, the defeat of
this resolution will not deprive ihcni
of that quality. While, if standing
alone it would do no harm, what i
the requirement for the pa-wage of
ihi part of tile resolution?"
"Under these lavs the inler-
il iimiii the bonds Is Is'in.piel In
silver, in gold, in silver cert I ties tes.
in gretuliaiks, in 'lrensury notes.
The interest on the bonds is ts-ii.g
st id in the same money that is w !
to the pensioner, the Utsirer, the
grocer, the poor and the rich. It is
no detriment to the bondholder. It
would tie no profi to the government
to iwy in one coin mouey rtther
than another. Under the present
lavisand polit ies of the I'imNsI States
there Is now no dear, no cheap, lol
lar. The silver l itl.irs are now as
vslusl.le tn the uoverunieiit and in
themjrkeu of the yrnrlu as the gold

the following:

heart, there should come an earnest
consideration of the present situation
in local as well as national politics.
If he opens his eyes, with one ob
servant glance, he will discover that
a dtsierate effort is going to 13 made,
in the coming June election, to carry
Oregon over to the flat money repu
diation and anarchistic side of the
quest ion, lor every nyutal.le, or
otherwise, advocate of that side of

or of recent conversion to the cause,
whether coming as a direct political
orator or posing under the subterfuge
of literary or religious lecturer, is

course this means but one thing and
that is to defeat the republicans, and
have that prestige a lever to influence

hence.
Iet no one indulge in the hallucina
tion that there exists a variety of
party affiliations, to suit his particu-
ar wliim, and shield him under the
agis of a self assumed silitical virtue.
There is nothing of the kind, and
he who attempts to cajole his con
science with such a lieliefis simply
nursing a Pharisaical pride which is
utterly without foundation.
fne political issues of the day are
clear cut, simple and definite, and the
parties have resolved themselves into
republican and anti-republican the
latter having a plethoria of name
heads making no difJVrence in the
situation.
On the side of the republicans
must, of a necessity, 13 arrayed every
thinking man, who la-lie ves in keep.

but not least the proper protection . f

To the Editor
Several of the demo-o,i-free-si.v. r
papers have taken invasion lately to
charge Congressman Tongue with in
consistency on the money question.
It is true they have no real taugii.le
basis for their assumption, but that
i of little moment to them, for your
genuine free silver fiatist rati always
get along fairly well without either
a starting or'a stopping point. From
their point of view the ideal Slates
mall is the one who is consistent, who
Is cause he road in a stage coach
yesterday must ride in one today in
preference to a Pullman. That ir-,
he must ! "Consistant" whether the
world progress or not. If lie though:
the act of 73' was Isiru in Ibe infer
nal regions lie must always think so,
no matter what enlightenment his
mind may nsvive to the contrary.
We know of course that our demo-
populist friend who hold up legis
latures usually are prompted by
principal and interest too but
alsMit Congressman Tongue what Is
the truth regarding his record on
this quest ioi. In the year I8'J2 when
Hon. Henry M.Jinn was a can.li
late for State Senator Irom Multno
mah county, Mr. Tongue sHike from
the same platform Willi him, and
strongly opHwed free silver. No:
ong after ot a meeting of the State
League Mr. Tongue was elected at
the head of the delegation for sound
mouey, receiving a flattering vote
and ts-ing actively supported bv
Senator JK.Iph and the Oregonia...
Iu 1K9I, he made ,'iti sas-ciies for the
gold standard in this state and l
ever since advocated it to the la-st of
his ability.
Two yeara ago he wrote a letter
published in the Oregonian ably op
posing a system of contraction and
moiio-metalllsm, in which there was
not a word iu favor of free silver or
against the gold stand ird as it is now
uuderstiMMl. Our demo-sip friend.,
are always using the words gold
mono-metallism and gold standard as
synonymous terms when it is plain
lhat to do m is a s-rversion of truth.
The gold standard mean. the larpe
use or Isnh metals, Is in fact the only
melliisl by which we can have praeti
cally bi-nielallism. (Jold mono metal
lism means the use of one metal ai d
one alone.
If our friend of the opistsitiou.
t ould get out of the ri-alm of iiiiHgiii.i.
lion, and from under the Imaginary
slia.'ow of the imaginary crime of '7:1
into ibe sunshine nf ri put. Lean
