THE TAILOR 11 D DFORD NOR SERY BENATOA DOLPB'B SPEECH. And a Criticism Thereon by Prefessor Jamea O. Clark. Had Mr. Dolph's sense of humor been equal to that of an owl, he would have laughed to himself at the ab surdity of 6ome of the points pre sented last week at the opera house in his speech to the people of Grants l'ASS. His first departure from dreary and ponderous platitude was taken when he attacked the people s par ty, and denied its right to an ex istence on the ground that "there is no room for a third party in this country." While I. regret that we did not think to ask the Senator for the "right of way," I would remind him that there, is always "room" for human progress, and that when old "established" and decaying systems or even senators begin to ignore new-born and living issues and attempt to crowd them off the sidewalk and into the ditch, the time has come for the old ones to go. I remember when the old Whies and Democrats were talking in the same way about the young Republi can party in 1856, But they chang ed their minds fonr years later when tha Whig partv stepped aside and gave the road to the party of Lincoln and of freedom. Another tunny thin? was perpe trated by the unconscious humorist of the eenate when he condemned Mrs. Emery's "Seven Financial Conspiracies," as all ''false," while admitting that he had Neither read nor seen the book.". When he passtd this profound judgement he was not aware that the little book is simply a condensed compilation and record of National financial legislation in which Dolph himself took a hand. Xo wonder he thought it "false," for the facts do not look well grouped in a small ten-cent publication. But that is not Mrs. Emery's fault. John Sherman who is the central figure of the Cork, unlike his col league, thought it of sufficient im portance to read and even answer, does not deny the lady's facts but merely apologizes for them by say ing that the seven congressional acts that she condemned as "Seven Fi nancial Conspiracies" were at the time "regarded by the best finan ciers of the country as the best that could be done under the circum stances." Dolph's statement that "free sil ver coinage means that a man can take Co cents in silver bullion into the office of the mint and carry away a silver dollar was anomer of his transparent jokes. lie mnst know that gold, as a money valne. rises infinitely above its intrinsic value, that, as the su perintendent of the U. S. mint late ly declared in the r orum, its long continued use as a money has given it a value out of all proportion to its natural value as a commodity." Demonetize gold today and the price of gold bullion would drop at once at least 75 or 100 per cent. Sliver was degraded in the house of its best friends when it was de monetized in 1873. Hence, it de preciated. Free coinage means remonitization. Remonitization means appreciation and restoration to dignity and public confidence, and necessarily great advancs in the price of bullion. I-don t oner this as a suggestion to Mr. Dolph who already knows it to be true, but to the people he is endeavoring to fool and mislead back into the party fold. His tariff talk was the same old story indulged in by all the politi cal dodgers when they attribute all the prosperity characterizing a new and vigorous country, full of cheap lands and rich, undeveloped resour ces, to "protection." and contrast its young and 'booming" vitality with that of worn-out, decaying monarchies. He did not know that his hearers were too well informed to "be deceived by such trash, and that he was tiring them out with it as much as he would have done had he compared an old played out mining camp on one side of a river to a new and flourishing one on the other side, and then declared in unctious voice and with solemn senatorial dignity that the "differ ence in wages and prosperity was all due to protection." He knows that the rush of hu manity from the Old World to the New is not as a rule, a scramble for "jobs ' at the hands of protected cornorations. but a hunt for new and cheap farms and homes, out of whose developement prosperity Hows and increases as a natural ne cessity. But when he quoted an English lord to prove that the "tariff ' and net sla very was the cause of the civil war. he reached the supernal heights of absurdity, if not insanity. Of course some Confederate ambassador might have urged this pretext to an ; En glish minister in , order to placate the professional abhorence of sla very by denying that slavery was as Alexander H. Stevens officially declared, "the corner stone of the new Confederacy. - A solitary Southern emissary might say this, and possibly, be guilty of lying for a special purpose. But how a man sufficiently intelli gent to represent the great state of Oregon in the United States senate, can, merely for the purpose or con vcting men to the tariff idea, repeat it in the verv face of millions of facts' to the contrarv, is a conun drum whose seal will never be bro ken. Some months ago there appeared in the Youth's Companion an arti cle by Senator Geo. F Hoar on the awful discretion of the United States Senate as touching its "con stitutional power to impeach even the supreme court." I am glad that it has this awful discretion, as it begins to look as though some time, when the forty -nuHionaire senators' are retired, we may be obliged to take advantage of it. But in the meantime wont some other U. S. senator write an essay on the awiui indiscretion oi a senate that Bends out men like Dolph to air their emptiness among well informed country people? James G. Clark, in Rogue River Courier. COMPARE THEIR RECORDS. Waarar at Patriot awl tatraaaaa- of Uwrnn mm CtevalnaW Every fair minded citizen of the coon- try, regardless of party affiliations, has been shocked by the cowardly and brotal treatment Ueneral Wearer re ceived at the hands of the hoodlums em ployed by the plutocratic politicians of Georgia, and considerable interest is shown everywhere anent the charges made against the record Weaver, the soldier,' made at Pulaski. It is refresh ing in the midst of all the lies told by the enemies of the people to read the following from The Progressive Farmer, the official organ of the Farmers Alli ance of North Carolina: Some of oar mooeycratlc exchanges ara es bllailns a great deal of enterprise by publish Ins; tha facsimile of orders bsued by General Wearer at Pulaski. Tcnn in ISO. General Wearer as only acolood. and if be did any. tbinc objectionable to the citizens there il waa raerelr rarrrinc oat orders of superior officers, it Is erident that the cltixeos of Pulaaki. who are aa ready to avear to things, are fair samples of the partisan hotheads found in rartoos parts of the eoantry. It la a botbed of partisan and sectional copperheads, who striae like tbe blind adder. If Ueneral Wearer was a military tyrant, erby Is it that something is not beard from htm at other pulntar lie was in tbe war from first to last. After he left Pulaski be tan rams a general promoted for brarery. It looks tike be would bare been more tyrannioal than than wben a subordinate officer. Ha mast has been on southern soil at least a year of the war. Wby didnt he exhibit bis -tyranny otbcrpolnbr If he waa a tyrant, why does it not crop oat in bis nrirats Ufa? Inst earl of that yoa always find him on tbe eMa of tha weak against tbe oppression of tha strong. General Wearer waa a tboroogh Union man. He opposed eonthern wlrin. Be left his boaieeaa. bis fireside, and fooght aa like a man fonr long years. Erea after they whipped osjr boys General Wearer may bare said some bard things aboat us. Be does not deny M. When two men fall oat It generally takes tbe best of them more than a few minutaa to get orer tbe quarrel. General Wearer bad been mad roar year. He bad ten bis family: ex posed his life: encountered all kinds of hard ships. It would be too much to expect of a mere human to go home after all that aad say: "Ob. It's ail right. J fought them four yean. but 1 was wrong: they were right. I'll hire somebody to kick mo." Be didnt feel that way. Ko other northern man did. o south ern man did. It waa not the best people of the south that caused General Wearer to say hard things about us In a political speech. It waa tbe porinm of the skunks who didnt go to the i but who began to fight just as soon aa the sur render waa announced and bare kept It up erer since. Doubtless he read their anarch- brio threat and read of their bttllrtosing aad bitter expressions. It was tbey wno perated htm aad made Dim use language that now sounds so harsh. Let us contrast records. Ex -Confederate sol diers, your attention, please. When compared to the records of Harrison and Clereland, either as soldiers or citizens. Wearer's record shines like a diamond placed beside a sand atone. We see Wearer lea re his happy borne at tha first sound of tha tocsin of war; he pots on his uniform and steps la ths front ranks to fight for the preserratioa of ths Union. Be felt that It was his duty. Ket until the last man surrendered did ha return home. Where waa Cleveland! Skulking in New Yorl Call after call was made, but no Clereland rolunteered. Finally there b a crisis. Clare land docs not answer the country's call, but ha dees hire a measly, lousy foreigner and sands him as a substitute to shoot Into tha ranks of our bra Ye southern hoys. After his election to the presidency be waa so cool toward the south aa to deserra tha charges that he waa only president of New England. It waa only because tha south thought he could be elected the second time that they voted for him. Ills third nomination was forced on the south. Contrast hia finan cial views with those of General Wearer. Do you suppose that General Wearer will declare that we have the best financial system in ths world." and threaten to veto "any bill te change It" it he is elected president (and he will bel? Uasnt ha acted Just the opposite at all times? President Harrison has soma kind of a war record. He was made a general because he was a grandson of President Harrison. But you rarely see anything about bis "brave de fense of his country.' But ainoe ha has been president be has tried to get up a war with three different foreign nationa. Ba la a "fighter from away back" now. .During bis administration the country has been tha scene of much internal strife. Within tha past three months there has been civil war at Bameetead, Buffalo, in Idaho and in Team Both he and Cleveland have taken sides with Ibo plutocrats. What did General Wearer do? When ke first heard of the trouble at Home stead he expressed his sympathy tor the out raged workmen, and said he regretted tha state of affairs that is plunging this country into a rebellion of tha manes against tha plu tocrat io ciassea. Fellow citizens. General Wearer Is first, a gentleman; second, a statesman: third, a sol dier. He Is human, therefore not Infallible, but unless you wish to perpetuate the reign of plutocracy you will not toug hesitate when casting your ballot for president. Weaver Is a patriot. Cleveland and Harrison are tha loaders of plutocracy. Under Weaver's ad ministration we wilt see better days. Tha ad ministration of either of tha others wUl rush ns on to the fate of Greece and France. If dont see it as wa do we are sorry for you. . The insult offered Weaver was an in sult to the three millions of workingsaen at Hia back; It was the same town orowd that has been insulting the Alliance aad all labor organizations for the past four years. AUisnre Farmer (Atlanta.) A HIGH -AUTHORITY. mot That tbe Pretended Tariff Contest Between the Old Parties Is n Stsaaa. " In proof of the charge made by Peo ple's party orators and writers, that the supposed difference between the two old parties on the tariff question is sham, the following from the New York Son. a leading Democratic paper, is offered: For historical purposes we now place side by side tbe Republican declaration of 1892 concerning the tariff and the resolution reported at Chicago by the platform committee: - SxrOBUCAK. , ' DEMOCRATIC . We beUere that all When custom house articles which cannot taxation ' is - levied be produced in the upon articles of Any United States, except kind produced in this luxuries, should be ad- country tbe differsnee mitted free of duty, between tbe coat of and that on all imports labor here and abroad, coming into eompeti- wben sack- difference tion with the products exists, fully measures of American la bar any possible benefit there should be duties to labor. In awhtas; levied equal to the dif- nddctiane io taaeait ferenca between wages is not piuposed to lo st home and abroad- Jure any domestic an v dnstrics. but rather U siuanmslhsai healthy growth. The Republican plank and the pro posed Democratic plank, it will be ob served, amount to about the same thing. The principle of protection is recognized and affirmed in both. For tbe Demo cratic resolution recognizing and affirm ing protection the convention substi tuted - another resolution denouncing "Republican protection" as a fraud and a robbery and declaring that the fed-' era! government has no constitutional power to enforce and collect tariff du ties "except for the purpose of revenue only." ' Nevertheless 853 members of the coo Tendon voted for tbe tariff plank a originally presented by the committee on resolutions, with the approval of ilr. Cleveland's managers, and, it .is said. with the approval of Mr. Cleveland him self. The proposition to substitute for the resolution looking toward protection a resolution denouncing protection and declaring for a revenue tariff only waa. rodsted by the. solid vote of Arksnrmi; California, Connecticut, Kansas, Minne sota, New Jersey, Pennsylvania, Rhode Island, Vermont and Wisconsin. - Tbe solid vote of every one of these statcsv was afterward cast for Mr. Cleveland' nomination. r e Will anybody but a free trade- "Mug wump- pretend that the Democrats of New Jersey and Connecticnt, for. exam ple, are not Democrats because Iber re fused to denounce protection aad to de clare for free trade? -' s . Week eT the) Mississippi - A glance over the whose field Is full . of encouragement to every well wisbsr of the People's party. , J The tzansnussissippi states are mov ing with the tread of disciplined veter a. Kansas proposes to keep her well- earned reputation of being tbe advance- guard of this great, movement. In all the districts and in every school noose the people are pushing abend. - Tbe- Nebraska campaign is . pushed with vigor. Tbe Demicrats are practi cally disorganized, la Minnesota- the- Alliance forces are aa now pulling in harmony and the chances are Terystrong for carrying the state. The silver states are moving ltka an avalanche. The ac tion of Senator Stewart, of Kevada. in. coming out for the People's party has removed tbe last prop, and they are all coming. It is safe to repeat the assertion that Mr. Harrison will not get vote west of the Mississippi unless ' It be in lowsv Noncxaaformisu ' Xatlaaust PwtlUca Mixed. Senator Peffer, while passing through: Kansas City, in an interview said;;" We shall carry all the silver and many of the southern states. Our majority is Kansas will be anywhere from 23,000 & 40,000. I think there is no doubt of Jerry Simpson's election. The present state of national politics is mixed. It may be Cleveland, and may be Weaver. Harrison has very little prospect of re election. If settled outside of the house, Mr. Cleveland will be the man; but if decided in the house, the -great popular uprising in favor of Weaver may change the mind of many southern Democrats already elected and make them fear to thwart the will of the people by voting for Cleveland." .. Tha Pongma Party."' la Colorado adherents of tbe People's party are called "Populists." , Some of the old party papers, realizing that the new movement will make a clean sweep in that state this year, try to get- np a sickly smile' by speaking of it as'the popgun party." A gentleman who was a Republican until this year was twitted by a gold bug officeholder with belonging to "the popgun party.' He quietly replied that be preferred "the popgun party -to the Winchester party. Trades unionists who have suffered from Pinkertonism should Stick a pin here. : " ';: A Fine Italian Hand. n John E. MilboUand, one; of the Re publican machine's understrappers, tried to capture the People's party organiza tion of New York city by some slick, un derhanded methods, but his game was discovered and defeated. Milholland's was the "fine Italian hand'" which engi- . neered the deal to pose Whitelaw Reid before the worlrinjnnen of this country as a repentant foe to organized labor. He failed in that as well as in hia' latest scheme to pack and undermine the Peo ple's party. ' L : ! U - Weaver City. ' ' A new town has been started near Creeds called Weaver City.
