osd Jiver (glacier. FRIDAY, JULY 10, ;S90. The Chicago convention seems to hive created more interest than the St. Louis convention. The one at St. L nls carried out a cut and dried pro gramme. The ono at Chicago Is full of surprises and probably will be to the end. The national committee, accord ing to long-established custom, selected the temporary chairman. 'Senator Hill was their selection, but the convention voted him down and Installed Senator Daniel. Senator White was made per manent chairman. The national com mittee sealed the gold delegates from .Michigan by only one opposing vote; Hie convention unseated enough gold men to give the delegation a majority fur silver; and the unit rule votes the delegation solid. Other contestants R'ated by the committee were sum marily ousted. Tbe silver crowd have the votes and are showing no quarter to the 305 gold men. Yesterday was a day of argument on the adoption of the platform. It was expected that ballot ing would begin last night. ' Outside of Its financial features, the Chicago platform reads like sound de mocracy. Among its good points is the declaration in favor of a constitu tional amendment to allow tbe levy ing of an Income tax. Hadtheincome tax clause of the Wilson bill been al lowed to stand there would be no defi ciency in the revenue. ' This would liave left no excuse for the strong tariff plank of the republicans and MeKinley would not have been nominated. If the sound money democrats de- vae to mane a nomination zor presi dent it would be policy for them to se 1 ct a Southern man and the most popular ex-confederate to be found. Jn the campaign of education during tlia next four months they could lit erally "carry the war Into Africa" and capture some of the states whose dele gations now at Chicago are overriding established usages in . their frenzy for free silver. It will be gall and wormwood for democrats to vote for MeKinley, but many of them will vote that way, all the same. This is an oft' year in pol itics. Sound-money democrats will knife the ticket nominated at Chicago not that they love their party less but their country more. We fail to see any mention in the Chicago platform about protection to Western wool growers. The' Chicago Platform. We, the democrats of the United States in national convention assem bled, do reaffirm our allegiance to those great essential principles of justice and liberty upon which our institutions are founded, and which the democratic party has maintmued from Jefferson's time to our own freedom of speech, freedom of the press, freedom of con science, the preservation of personal rights, the equality of all citizens be fore the law, the faithful observance of constitutional limitations. . Recognizing that the money ques tion is paramount to all others at this time, we invite attention to the fact that the federal constitution names silver and gold together as the money metals of the United States, and that tbe first coinage law passed by congress under the constitution made the silver dollar the unit of value and admitted gold to free coinage, at a ratio meas ured by the silver-dollar unit. We declare that the act of 1873 de monitizing silver without the knowl edge or approval of the American peo ple has resulted in the appreciation of gold and a corresponding fall in the price of commodities produced by the people; a heavy increase iu the burden of taxation, and of all debts public and private; the enrichment of tbe money lending classes at home and abroad; paralysis of industries and impoverish ment of the people. We are unalterably opposed to tbe single gold standard, which has locked fast the prosperity of an industrious people iu tbe paralysis of hard times. Gold monometalism is a British policy, founded upon British greed for gain and power, and its adoption has tirougnt otuer nations into financial servitude to London. It is not only un-American, but anti-American, and it can be fastened upon tbe United States only by the stifling of that in domitable spirit and love of liberty which proclaimed our political inde pendence in 1776 and won it in the war of the Revolution. We demand tbe immediate restora tion of the free and unlimited coinage of gold and silver at the present legal ratio of 10 to 1, without waiting for the demand that the standard silver dol lar shall be a full legal tender, equally with gold, for all debts public and pri vate, and we favor 6uch legislation as will prevent tbe demonetization of any legal tender money by private contract. We are opposed to the policy and practice of surrendering to tue holders of the obligations of the United States tbe option reserved by law , to the government of redeeming such' obliga tions iu either silver coin or gold coin. We are opposed to the issuing of in terest bearing bonds of the United States iu the time of peace,, and con demn trafficking witli bunking syndi cates, which, iu exchange for bonds at enormous profit to themselves, supply tbe federal treasury with gold to maintain the policy of gold mono metalism. .' Congress alone has the power to coin and issue money, and President Jack son declared that this power could not I delegated to corporations or indi viduals. We. therefore demaud that tae power to issue notes ue laKen irom tbe banks, and that all paper shall be issued directly by the treasury depart ment. We hold that the tariff duties should be levied solely for the purpose of revenue, and that taxation should j be limited by the needs o( the govern-1 ment, honestly and economically ad-1 ministered. We denounce as disturb-1 Ing to business the republican threat I to restore tne MCiuniey law, wmcn has twice been condemned by the peo ple in national elections, and which enacted under the false plea of protec tion to borne industry, proved a pro lific breeder of trusts and monopolies, enriching the few at the expense of tbe many, restricted trade and deprived the producers of the great American staples of access to their natural mar kets. Until the money question is set tled, we are opposed to any .agitation for further changes in our tariff laws, except snch as are necessary to muke the deficit in revenue,caused by the ad verse decision of the supreme court as to the income tax. Tbere would have been no deficit in the federal revenue during the last two years but for the annulment by the supreme court of tbe income-tax law, placed upon the statue books by a dem ocratic congress. The obstruction to an income tax, which the supreme court discovered in the constitution after it had laid bidden for a hundred years, must be removed, to the end that accumulated wealth may be made to bear its just share of the burdens of the government. We, therefore, favor an amendment to the federal consti tution that will permit the levy of an Income tax. We bold that the efficient way of protecting American labor Is to prevent the importation of foreign pauper labor to compete with the home market, and that the value of the home market to our American farmers and artisans is greatly reduced by a vicious monetary system that depresses the prices of their product below the cost of production, and thus deprives them of the means of satisfying their needs. We denounce the profligate waste the money wrung from the peo ple by oppressive taxation and lavish appropriations of recent republican congresses, which have kept taxes high, while the laborer that pays them is unemployed, and products of the people are depressed in price until they no longer reoay the cost of production. We demand a return to that simplicity and economy which best befits a dem ocratic government, and a reduction In the number of useless offices and sala ries of which drain the substance of the people. Confiding in the justice of our cause, and the necessity of its success at ttie polls, we submit tne foregoing dec laration of principles and purposes to the considerate iudirinent of the Amer ican people. We Invite the support of all citizens who approve them and who desire to have tuem made etiective through legislation for the relief of t he people and the restoration of the. coun try's prosperity. ., Notes and 'ews.- Tiie first ripe Oregon peaches were snipped ii oui isiaiocK July 3d.

He sayi sap will not carry sulphur, and if it did it would not reacn tne caterpil lar; if it did reach tbe caterpillar it would reach the fruit. Schanno says that idea was exploded long ago. Chronicle. The organization of great industrial combines goes on daily. Not long since the iron and steel factories pooled and iron rose in price. Then the coal interests pooled and coal advanced 25 cents on the ton; and now. we have the thread consolidation for the purpose of keeping up the price and limiting the output. A good remedy for the prevention of these combines would be to drop those lines of industries form ing trusts from the tariff list. Spokane Review. Mr. and Mrs. John Hollinpshead re turned last Monday from their wed ding tour, and about dusk the fame evening they were pleasantly serenad ed by the Antelope brass band, which turned out in full force and played a few of their best selections in front of the residence of Peter A. Kirchheiner, where the bride and groom were stop ping at the time. Mr. and Mrs. Hol lingshead launch out into the sea of matrimony under the most favorable and encouraging circumstances, and as they journey through life they have the best wishes of an immense circle of friends throughout Wasco county. Antelope Herald. A somewhat remarkable family re union tnok place at the Wetemis soda springs last Sunday when the Pierce brothers,' Daniel, Edgar, George, Henry and Charles all met for the first time in thirty-seven years. Charles, the youngest, is now 45 years of age, and their father is still living. Since their last meeting the four eldest had gone through the war of the rebellion in different armies and not one of them received a wound. The youngest was only kept from joining in the great struggle by his tender years and pa rental discipline. And now, after a separation of nearly forty years, and after having passed through stirring scenes in many parts of .the country they have all met again. Not often does a family of five brothers live to join in such a gathering, and they were naturally impressed oy the occa sion. Agriculturist. , . . All Free.

The Excursion to Hood River. ' Times-Mountaineer. An event that was most pleasant to , a large number of residents of this city waa thct ovniinilnn tn TJnrtA Tlivar (riven by The Dalles Concert Band. At 8 o'clock on the morning of the Fourth the Regulator left her dock with 232 DalleMtes on board, and with the strain of classic music wafted upon the air, a pleasant ride down the river was experienced. Arriving at Hood River, the band gave a concert in front of the Mt. Hdod hotel, after which all pro ceeded to tbe ball grounds to witness a contest on the diamond between a picked nine from this city and the Hood River players. Both sides put up an excellent game until the seventh inning, when a misunderstanding arose (no body appeared to know just what It was or how it happenedl but in less than no time the ball grounds were turned into a battle field, and the players tumbled over each other, de pleting the scenes of two crack teams of some of the leading colleges at foot ball. No body heeded the command of the umpire to "play ball," and the game was declared off, with tbe score standing 13 to 13. It was a most un fortunate affair, heartily regretted by all, but could probably not have been averted. Bearing the little unpleasantness this occasioned, nothing occured to mar the happintss of the dby. Many of The Dalles people took lunches with them and enjoyed their dinners under the numerous shades in and about Hood River, while others partook of the hospitality or the genial unarne Bell of the Mt. Hood. On the return trip the band again rendered a number of fine selections, and by the time the boat arrived at Tbe Dalies all on board were in excellent humor, having for gotten the unpleasant termination of tne Dan game. From White Salmon. . Lyle celebrated the 4th In great style. The celebration was held on the 3d so that the dancers could keep it up all night and not hurt their consciences by dancing Sunday morning. Besides the dance they had horse races, and In the evening a local theatrical club ren dered t he play of "Uncle Tom's Cabin." Between 400 and 500 people attended the celebration. John R. Rankin has traded his sail boa, to Ira Rowland of Lyle for the Covington boat. A picnic with a- dance in the even ing was held at Mrs. Wagriitz place, at Trout Lake, on the 4th, and about 200 were, present. Th sheepmen at Glen wood cele brated by a dance on tbe night of the 4th. In 'tbe vicinity of Glen wood, on Camas Prairie, a community of quiet and peaceable citizens has existed for years. It has always been considered a good stock and dairy country, and great numbers of cattle have subsisted and fattened on the rich and extensive pastures iu summer, and in winter their owners have fed them from the well filled barns on hay made from tbe inclosures on the praitie. Of late years the sheepmen have been encroaching on the pastures of the cattle men till tbe numbers of their sheep made life a burden for tbe citizens of the com munity. In the latter part of last month a party of masked men went at night to a sheep camp where there were three men. . They advised the sheepmen to move their sheep out of the neighborhood. One of the men pulled a gun . on the maskers and threatened to shoot, whereupon he was overpowered and taken to the woods, where lie was tied to a tree and whipped with hazel switches. Iu tbe meantime some of the maskers amused themselves by firing their guns over the head of the rash unfortunate, seem ing to try to see how near they could come to his head without hitting him. The 'maskers then went back to the sheep camp and burned up every thing iu it. The sheepmen have since retired to the mountains with their flocks. s , , Free Pills. Send your address to H.E.
