Tns various county p:tyars ai-e not
saying much about polities at the pres

they rvsignad themsolves to the in

In the last issue of the Grants Pass
Courier we had the pleasure of perus
ing an able article from the pen of T.
Syson Cundy, Josephine's formost re
former. The subject dealt with was
'Fiat Money and Farm Lands"- and
the article throughout is worthly care
ful attention and study.
OF course, the cAmpnign slush so
carefully prepared by th s Jack ioavillo
rng and disseminated throughout the
oouaty is simply a program cut ami
dried to bid for tho straggling vot a of
those who are on thi fonc?. It cannot
touch or harm a reao.ner and will
only rebound to th- detriment of th
rinff. .
A good deal of unnecessary fuss is
made over Jerry Simpson's purchase
of a bicycle. Wheeling is excellent
exercise and very popular in Washing
ton, and Jcrry'b desire to conform to
Roman customs while in Rome is com
mendable enough. A man who has
ridden a cultivator ought 1o have no
trouble in mastering a bicvele.
Only think of it! Over sixty dollars
for each and every voter in Jackson
county, and increasing at the rate of
five dollars on - each one annually.
Farmers, mechanics, merchants and
and all taxpayers, is it t ot time to
wake up to this matter and see where
your ship of state is - drifting? What
do the ringleaders of the old parties
in Jacksonville care for the debt so
long as they can draw, leech like, on
the life blood of the taxpayers of the
county. Voters of Jackson county,
have you ever realized the fact that
one-tenth of your number only, live in
-the Jacksonville precinct, and that
nearlv one-half of the officers, and in
value more than one-half, are resi
dents of Jacksonville? As concentra
tion of capital :is dangerous to the
well-being of a people, so fs the con

MERCHANTS AND FARMERS.
There naver was two classas of peo
ple nearer identified in interests in the
west than tho farmers and merchant,
not as to details of business nor trans
actions one with another, for in these
there is conflict; but in the general
subjects of government and the sys
tems fostered by the government, their
interests nro identical. In' all the con
tentions of the Alliance as to change
of policy in the government what are
denominated the demands of the Order
their interests are the same.
Take the demand for the r?peal of
the national bank system, for illustra
tion, and this will hold good. Ouo of
the best reasons for the repeal of the
national bank charters is that it gives
control and management of the finances
of the country into the hands of corpo
rations. These corporations make a
monopoly of money and form combina
tions to control it and its use. This is
as much asralnst the merchant as the
farmer: for two-thirdsof the merchant
are borrowers of banks and suffer as
much as farmers from tho extortions
and injustice of the bank.
Take the demand for an expansion
of the currency so that $V.) per capita
woul.1 bo in circulation. The merchant
would bo as much benefitted by that
policy. It would enhauce the price of
products and make everything higher.
relatively. It would enable the farmers
to get out of debt and make them solv
ent. It woald afford the merchant

Why Not the Sub-treasury and
Legal I enaer raper.
Editor Southern Oregon Mail:
Fir6t: The sub-treasury is "Un
constituional." Our government
can legally loan money and secur
ity to railroads and Nicaragua enn
uis, it can loan to Centennial, Cot
ton and Columbian Expositions,
but you old hayseeds cannot ex
pect it, for it then becomes "uncon
stitutional." Of course, if you had
I he political "influence" of tho ex
positions, railroads and canals, then
it would be different.
. But I think that it could be
mndo constitutional if you would
givo Uncle Sam a second mortgage
on your properly instead of first
mortgage. "Alio Sam-me" Union
Pacific. You offer to give too
much. Then, again ; don't you
know that it is "class legislation?"
Just for the benefit of Hayseeds;
they want it so that they may bo
able to make a cornor on vour
wheat and starve the toiling mil
lions. Of course it is understood
that without it Shvlock has been
forming jiist such a corner for years
on the toiling millions, find not
Mopping at that he forced down
prices, on Hayseed, to starvation
rates, but that is all right, Shylcv.k
has brains, therefore he must have
a share of your work to keep the
brains in the family.
Of course there is no class legis
lation unless the "man with the
hayseeds in bis hair" is in
it. Of course it is acknowledg
ing, that just af'er harvest is
the time that prices ore "beared"
down and payment demanded so
that Shvlock mav le ablo. to make
j about 20 per cent on the wheat of
wrcgon.
Then again the currency is fiat -worthless
nothing to back it but
the resources of the eovcYnmenl,
and that is f.o good; yet there are
now in circulation over three hun
dred millions of paper currency
with nothing to back it except gov
ernment bonds. Too bad. Gov
ernment bonds, good security, gov
ernment worthless. See? Wc
must have a bond for a basis. (?) Of
course it is not supposed for a
moment that currency with the

that it should ever t as

wheels of tho workshop and factory
are as faithful as ever. The me
chanic and laborer are not only
able and willing, but anxious to
work. The whole trouble lies con
cealed in the simple word, money.
Demo-Repub. Win-, sir; your
ideas are right, but we can't do
better than to go home and work
harder and live on less.
Hayseed Working harder and
live on less. Why we have been
trying that for years still we are
more slaves than ever. I don't see
what we want of so many little p03t
offices all over the country, why
not just have one post office at
Washington.
Demo-Repub. A man is a fool
that thinks one post office will do
the whole nation.
Hayseed And so is a man a
fool that thinks one treasury is
enough for the whole nation. While
one Niagara is cuough for a whole
world, yet what blesses the whole
nation is the little streams running
down by every farm and gitrden.
And the same with the post
offices and tn-asuries. W e want!

Reform in the Ballot Box
Ecitok Soi'THE'tx Okkon Mail:
A motion was carrird to publish
in the Mail a composition com
posed and read by Mrs. S. E. Mar
tin at Lake Creek Alliance No. 229
as follows:
"As the battle-cry of Reform
rings out over the Union, and stir
ring the hearts and souls of the
sons and daughters of our Nation,
it is positively necessary for us to
take a thoughtful view of the silua-
! lion and consider well our resnon-
I.mv n-5sibiiitv as we enter the battle he'd
might make. In every way the farmer
would be benefitted; it would also ben
efit all oilier classes depeudent upon
him. As this increase of currency
would have a basis on land security,
paying 2 per cent, interest, it would
enable the farmer to get out of debt or
use S per cent, of the interest he now
pays to syndicates to make prrchases.
which would iucreasj his business that
much.
The sub-treasury would also benefit
the merchant as well as the farmer;
for it would enable his customers to
secure better price's for their products,
which would increase his trade. It
would also prevent the syndicates from
robbing the producers of the fruit of
their toil, which would leave it in the
hands of the farmers to purchase of the
merchants the necessities and comforts of the trcasurr, ordered the custom

Good Looks,
Good looks are more than skin deep,
depending upon a healthy condition of
the vital organs. If the liver be in
active you have a bilious look, if your
stomach be disordered you 'have a dys

affected you have a - pinphed look.
Secure good health and you will have
good looks. Electric Bitters is the

Haysecd How do you do, friend
Demo-Repub?
Demo-Repub Not very well;
can't get hold of any money; hard
limes.
Hayseed I can tell you hov to
get more moneys vote for the old
party and the banks will get it all.
John Randolph said: "Charter a
bank with $35,(X.000 of capital;
let it establish and learn Us power,
and then And, if you can, means to
bell the at. It will be beyond
our power; it win overawe your
congress nnd laugh nt your laws."
Henry Clay said: "I conceive the
establishment of this National
Bank as dangerous to tho safety
and welfare of tho Republic."
Webstor said: "The banks are one
of the greatest of political evils and
a contrivance for cheating the labor
ing classes of mankind." Thos.
Benton said: "Banks of circulation
are banks of hazard and failure."
I tell you, sir, that this banking
business has caused ten money
panics in tbo last half century and
each time was accompanied by
commercial crashes and a general
stagnation of business, ruin nnd
Dankruptcy. These corrupt rings,
(hinges of' hell) linds tho peoplo
in tho midst of plenty, distressed,
exhausted and poor. How, does
this happen? Has nature frowned
upon her husbandman or worker
and refuse to respond to hi, toil?
Has the earth declined to yield up
her prcpious 6torcs? Has the hand
of the arjesati or mechanic lost its
cunning, or the arm of tho laborer its
strength? . Not at all. Tho gran
eriee of the west are bursting with
tho products of the soil, and yet
the farmers are mortgaged nnd
poor. The valuable staples pf the
south "are as ready as ever to
respond q the touch of labor. The
mineral wealth, of the earth Ijcs
