PLATFORM. United in a common cause for the sacred purpose of preserving the principles of gov ernment by the whole people, in fact as well as in name, restoring and maintaining equality, under tbat government, of all classes, we the People’s, Democratic and Silver Republican parties of tbe state of Oregon waiving ail minor iKrinta of differ ence, and uniting for the purpose of carry ing out the great underlying principles ii|K)n which we are ail agreed, do make and f»resent to tbe peop'e of this state the fol owing declaration of principles, and to the carrying out of which we solemnly pledge each and every candidate upon our united ticket: We demand the free and unlimited coin age of bilver and gold at the present ratio of 1G to 1 without waiting for the consent of foreign nations. We demand a national money, safe and sound, issued by the general government only, without the intervention of banks of i?sue, to be a full legal tender for all debts, public and private; also a just, equitable and efficient means of distribution direct to tbe people through the lawful disburse ments of the government. We demand that the volume of circulat ing medium be speedily increased to an »mount sufficient to meet the demands of le business and population of this country, and to restore the just level of prices of labor and production. We favor such legislation as will prevent for the future the demonetization of any kind of legal-tender money by private con tract. We demand that the government, in payment of its obligations, shall use its op tion as to tbe kind of lawful money in which they are to be paid, and we denounce the present and preceedingadministration» for surrendering this option to the holders of govei nment obligations, We demand tbat postal savings banks be established by the government for the safe deposit of the savings of tbe people and to faciHtate exchange. We demand the election of United States senators by direct vote of the people. We demand the initiative ana referen dum system of law making in its optional form, local, state and national, and the submission by congress ot all important national questions for an advisory vote of tbe people, until such time as the national constitution shall have been amended so as to provide for direct legislation. We condemn as dangerous and unjust | the surrender, in all departments of the government, to the influence of trusts, cor porations and aggregations of wealth gen erally; and the packing of tbe highest courts of the land with corporation lawyers too ready to do the will of their late em ployers, and to set aside valid and whole some laws passed by the legislative de partments of states and government, upon flimsy pretexts at the behest of such in stitutions. We are opposed to government by in junction. In state matters we demand: A a’mpie and well guarded registration law. A more equitable mode of appointing judges of election. Stringent laws to .'•¿elate the operation of fish traps, fish wheels and all fishing gear in the waters within the jurisdiction of the state. We denounce and condemn the corrupt and extravagwnt republican legislative as semblies end charge that the republican party, in its eagerness for tbe spoils of office has divided into warring factions, so that it is incapable of government as exemplified by tbe condition existing in tbe office of the state treasurer, there being at this time more than $600,000 therein wrung from tbe people by tbe process of taxation, while state warrants are stamped “Not paid for want of funds. “ We demand tbat all district and county officers be placed upon salaries commen surate with tbe duties to be performed by them. Inasmuch as railroad and other corporate property is not bearing its proportion of taxation, we demand tbat such property shall bear its just and equal share of tbe expenses of tbe government. SHE WAS THRIFTY. Oao Woman Made os.soo with a Tbioela- ln* Maehlae. A woman «brasher is a novelty—that ia, outside of the schoolhouse or home. And the one in question ia a genuine ’ tbe golden grain of the says Che Minneapolis Jour nal. She came into one of ths Minneap olis farm machinery houses the other day to make her final payment on her machine. Thia waa startling and marked her aa a woman of business ca pacity; for the man who makes a full payment on a thrasher this season is re garded as on exceptionally good man. That the lady in question bad a business head is further evidenced by the fact that she succeeded in •‘working’’ the manager of the establishment for »2.50, the amount of her fare home. She innocently told him that to pay her bill in full would take every cent sbe had and she muat take out enough to get home. While the manager gen tly demurred at receipting the bill in full with thia discount off, she ingen iously hinted that it would cost more than 12.50 to send a collector after the balance, and he tumbled to the situa tion aa gracefully as possible. Mr*. Thresher (or perhaps it is Mias) said that ahe had made »2,200 out of her ma chine and had 187 stacks of groin to finish thia winter, which ahe proposed to do if the enow was hub deep. Consid ering the fact that many machines are being taken back on mortgages this year, no one can successfully maintain thata woman ia not adapted to this new I field for woman’s activity. Mow Loan Ara tbe tatiselag Ben <Mng to Stand Thu bort of Saataeaat It Woald seem that the St. James Ga zette haa let a bird fly. It ia not oftoa that an organ of the goHite empire la caught off guard. Wben snob a phe nomenal thing oocnra, one is led to be lieve tbat tbe organ on the night before haa bad too mnob wine. That the St. James Gazette oould ao forget itaalf makes us aatouisbed. Tbe occasion of the extraordinary break referred to ia tbe recant assign ment to Great Britain of the exclusive privilege of taking the Chinese loan without competition. The British gov* erument baa been unusually anxious to get tbia loan “in the interests at trade. ” The St. James Gazette, doubtloas in ths state of mind indicated above, divulges the scheme as follows: Let us suppose, in the first lnstsnos, that the rate agreed upon be 6 par cant. Thia would not bo exorbitant when the ordinary rate» nt interest In China are taken into cotulduatlon. Our procedure would be simple. The Bank of England would invite tenders for £14,100 000 consols at 2J4 per cent, redeemable in 26 yedts from the date of isaua. The length of the tana offered would insure a premium of at IsseS 10 per cont. Taking the price, then, at £110, we should obtain the sum of £15,060,000. The de- fioiency of £50,000 la inslgnillcant and could be mode good by any one of half a dozen obvious exitedienta. Under this arrangement we should be borrowing £14,600,000 at per eeat and lending £li),tXM>,OUO at 6 per cent. The ditfareaeo between the interest we should disburse (£S6f ,- 6001 nod the Interest we should receive (£800,- 000> would be £428,000. If thia »am wire invest ed every year for 25 yeara at compound Inter est. It would produce at the end of that term £14,0S8,OHO. But the chief matter remains to bo stated. Whun we had got all our money baok. China would still remain indebted to US to the full amount of tlw original advance, £10,000,- 000. Tbia outstanding liability could, st the choice of the Puking government, either be liq uidated in cash or released in exchange for ■ueh fixed or other concession» a» might »earn equitable to both parties. Let ua explain the beauty of thia bUBiuese. Tbe poor laborers of China will be obliged for 26 years to pay to Great Britain, in interest only, »4,000,* 000 annually witbout reducing the debt by a single farthing. Tbat Is beaatifnl to begin witb. The »4,000,000 will bo taken by tbe English bondholders and loaned to tbe British laboring men, who will pay another »4,000,000 a year for tbe privilegt of having money enongb to buy their grooeriea. At the end of the 25 year period Cbina will still owe tbe British bondholders tbe »80,000,000 just tbe same. That is the essential beauty of it. Eight millions a year laid upon tbe laboring men of China and Great Britain for 26 yeara Two hun dred millions of Interest in all, and then »80,000,000 of principal just as good aa at tbe start. I have not seen a batter ex ample than tbis of tbe splendid work ings of the international bond system. The only question is how long the la boring men of the world are going to stand this sort of business.

We will tena the above groat journal ia connection with A glass house and a feather bed used to be considered the lightning-proof mediums behind which timid persons could seek refuge from the possibility of being stricken by an electric bolt. But these are old fashioned rdeau now, compared with the lightning-prooif paper suit which a New York genius has just invented, patented and invited fearful and apprehensive people to try. This suit is made of fiber pulp and can be made to look exactly like any other suit of clothes. Paper is a poor con ductor, and a man arrayed in such gar ments might go forth and defy light ning, even if it should show special preference for him. This is particularly the case if a hat is worn made of the same stuf;. In side of this should be placed a piece of newspaper, and inside the clothing should also be laid folds of a news paper, which would do as well as a paper suit. The paper suit is also a good thing for summer excursions, for if it is ruined in the rain there won’t be much loss.
