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

What is
castoria
Castoria is Dr. Samuel Pitcher’s prescription for Infants
and Children, 't contains neither Opium, Morphine nor
other Narcotic substance. It is a harmless substitute
for Paregoric, Drops, Soothing Syrups, »nd Castor Oil.
It is Pleasant. Its guarantee is thirty years’ use by
Millions of Mothers. Castoria destroys Worms and allays
feverishness. Castoria prevents vomiting Sour Curd,
cures Diarrhoea and Wind Colic. Castoria relieves
teething troubles, cures constipation and flatulency.
Castoria assimilates the food, regulates the stomach
and bowels, giving healthy and natural sleep. Cas­
toria is the Children’s Panacea—the Mother’s Friend.

“ Castoria is the best remedy for children of
which I am acquainted. I hope the day is not
far distant when mothers will consider the
real interest of their children, and use Castoria
instead of the various quack nostrums which
are destroying their 1 A-ed ones, by forcing
opium, morphine, soothing syrup and other
hurtful agents down their throats, thereby
•ending them to premature graves.”
D r . J. F. K inciieloe ,

“ Our physicians in the children’s depart­
ment have spoken highly of their experi­
ence In their outside practice with Castoria,
and although we only have among our
medical supplies what is known as regular
products, yet we are free to confess that the
merits of Castoria has won us to look with
favor upon it.”

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. Those whose nerves are upset by
atmospheric disturbances had better
wrap themselves up in paper during the
electric summer storms, even if they do
