E30SENATOR INOALLS. Continued flora first pge. uiatcly, tliouh mysteriously, connect ed with, the llnanclal system that bas been developed In the past twenty yeard. The contraction of the circu lation medium of all the great nations by the destruction of the money func tions of silver Is, to my mind, the chief cause. I can see up other ex planation of it, though Idd not offer that ns a solution. "We art told time after time Jin the east that' any one holding those views is either a mad man, n knave or tf fool. Not wlBMntf to be put In any of these classes, I simply offer the suggestson as n possi ble cailsc, and leave It to otuors to de termine nhother one. It is a curious fact, though, that, with Increasing population, creating Increasing de mands for food and clothing, nil prod ucts of the farm and Held have dimin ished in value, and that with the ex 'haustlon of the public domain farm ing land should become more and mora unsalable In short, that with Idle capital constantly accumulating In our financial centers, all business and Industrial enterprise should lan guish until wo have reached a condi tion which I believe has never existed before since this government was es tablished. "I believe there can be no perma nent return to prosperity until there is some change In our financial system by which the circulating medium will have a corresponding rate of Increase with the Increment; of our population and the consequent demands of In dustry, commerce and manufacture. They tell us that wo have $24 or $25 per capita of circulating medium In this country, when, in fact, there Isn't $10. Everybody knows that there Is no gold In circulation and that the greenbacks are In the national treas ury and the banks. All estimates of tlie per capita of circulating medium are more guess work. They say as an excuse for the absence of an adequate circulation of money that 00 per cent of the business of the nation Is trans acted wlthoat money by checks. That Is perhaps true, but It Is no remedy." "Is our statesmanship to solyo this question, or where are wo to look for a settlement?" I asked. "To the people," replied Mr. In galls. "This Is a government of pub lic opinion, not of statesmen. The people think and have their own views. They know what they want In respect of both money and the tar iff. They have made up their minds and no man can deceive them, lead them or swerve them. Tho man or the party that attempts -it vlll be lost. It Is my observation that the American people can always be trusted with the solution of great problems like this money question. It is dllllcult, at times, to get them around to It. Their thoughts are crowded with their business or their pleasures, and on one pretext or an other they remain indifferent. Once Interested, though, they quickly mas ter tho problem. TltUE STATESMANSHIP. "The real statesman in this coun try is tho one who sees ahead tho drift of public opinlpn and is guided by it. Lincoln and Blaine were,- and are pre-eminent in this rcspeet among all of our great leaders, and their names suggest themselves irreslstlblly to me In looking at tho aspect of pub lic affairs. They perceived what tho pcoplo thought and needed, and they went ahead and did it. Lincoln, par ticularly, is pre-eminently the repre sentative man of the epoch, and his greatness is attributable to his ability to sec the needs, the ubdI rations, the hopes and tho fears of tho great masses of the people, from which ho sprung. Ho Is tho man who represents more than any other, to my mind, theaver age convictions and purposes 'of the people. Llncolu was In no sense u leader he was a follower of public opinion. In no single instance through out the many crises of his career can It be shown that ho endeavored to en force his own convictions against what ho believed to be the average opinion of tho country. His will be one of the few Immortal names and fames of the nineteenth centurjf, and for the reasons! havo stated." "Cleveland advocates the retire ment of the greenback as a measure of relief." f'Yes that Is the favorite idea in tho East, too, Tho greenback, how ever, is more powerfully Intrenched in the affections of our people than is any other part of our currency, and it would be difficult I believe Impos- MEttAGEB QaMUj-.TfeavMBblr, Foweatofflvawho offer aerrousner.

I asked. "In its practical and what may be termed Its buslucstf results, it may be conservatively said that tho Demo cratic experiment which the people mndo In 1802 has cost us more than did the rebellion In actual loss. INCOMES 8WEPT AWAY. Money, business, Income, real and personal property, havo all been swept away. 1 regard that 1892 elec tion as a communistic uutbrenk. The people now better. They know that Democratic ascendancy in this gov ernment had always been -accompanied with prostration of Industries and national misfortune. They did not stop to reason, though. Herein tho West, where crops had failed for two or1 three years In succession, and the capacity of the pcoplo to pay their debts was thereby impaired, they wero told that tho cause of their misfortune was unjust legislation, and that tho only cure was by tho en actment of laws that1 by some process would take from the superfluously rich and give to those who were un deservedly poor. Tho past three years have proved a severe object lesson to those who listened to that fallacious reasoning, and I should ay that the people have now reached tho conclu sion that the only way to escape from poverty and hard times Is by Individ tal effort. "I do not know whether or not Cleveland realizes what his election has meant to the country how much of ruin and disaster have followed It. I am disposed to think he does not. His egotism and tumid conceit arc so excessive that ho Is oblivious to every thing not directly connected with him Iclf." "I see no possible opportunity for the return of prosperity except by the election tof a Republican president, pledged like Mckinley, to a 'return of the government to a tariff that will give ample wages to tho pcoplo and revenue to tho government," con tinued Mr. Ingalls. "Tho pcoplo now understand that it doesn't matter how cheap a thing is, If you haven't n dollar with which to buy It. Wo all know McKlnley. He hascampalgncd hero when wo wero In soro need of Re publican speaking, nnddie was always ready, whether he was to speak from the tall-end of a cart or a Pullman car, In a circus tent or nn opera house. FOIt MCIUNLEY. "No man except Blalno has had such a hold on tho people. I do not regard McKlnley as a great statesmau,oronoof unusual ability. Ho Is closer down to tho people than that. "I regard that as ono of tho strong est arguments for him. McKlnley Is accessible. Blaine was in a way. He had tho artifices known to poli ticians of calling casual acquaintance to mind, but there wns always a dist ance betwech Blalno and the people. It 1p not so with McKlnley. Ho Is a commoner. "When he tnlks'tho people listen. He addresses them In their own way In understandable phrase, I might say." A MILITARY ORDER. Affecting the Drill Nights of the Boys Who Belong to "Salem's Pride." The military companies of Salem will have a change in their time of drilling, Major Percy "Willis having just received an order from Col. Geo. O. Yoran, the regimental commander, on this subject. Heretofore company "B" drilled on Tuesday night of each week, company "I" on Thursday night, and tho second regiment band ou Tuesday and Friday nights. The same order also transfers the band to Major C. E. Robblin, as Major Willis has enough work on his hands in look ing after the etllclency of his two com panies, thus reducing his work a trifle. Following Is the order from the regimental headquarters: ncadq't'rs Sec. Reg., Infantry, O. N. G., Eugene, April 29. Order No. 11: 1. Commencing Wednesday, May 0, 1890, and continuing through the months of May and Juno, or until fur ther orders be Issued, companies "B" and "I" and the regimental band, sec ond regiment, O. N. G., are hereby or dered to appear at their armory in Sa lem, Or., every "Wednesday at 7:30 o'clock p. m. for drill and instruction under the command of Major Percy Willis, commanding 2d battalion, 2d regiment, O. N. G. 2. The drills herein ordered will take the place of the regular drills heretofore held by tho respective com panies, "B," "I" and band, which will be discontinued until the expiration of this order or until further orders be published. 3. Major Willis will make nil ncces- .sary detail for uctlng adjutant, her- geant-mnjor and other details desired by him for his battalion Instruction. 4. Paragraph IV. of R. O. No. 10 transferring the command of the sec ond regiment band from Major C. E Robliu to Major Percy Willis Is hereby ordered revoked, and the same Is here by countermanded. By order of Col. Geo. O. Yoran. n. T, Condon, First Lieutenant and Ad jutant. REPUBLICAN PLATFORM. The representatives of the Republicans of the state of Oregon tn convention assembled, call attention to the condition of industry throughout the country, as a proof of the necessity of returning to the policy of the Re publican party under which there was general prosperity during thirty year. W e reuffirm the principles of the Kcpubli. can national platform ol 1892, and iisi.-n tint the remits that have followed the change tie. creed by the election of that year have juriI Red our protest against the national policy adopted by the Democratic party We believe that the government should have an ample revenue, with a sufficlint sur. plus over ordinary expenditures to piovide for coast defences, for the steady building up of the navy, and for the constant reduction of the public debt We believe that the present taritr, with Its lowered rates and its destruc tive and dishonest system of undervaluations and discriminations as to localities, should be replaced by one framed on protective princi ples similar to that iif the McKlnley bill and arranged to give ainplo protection to Ameri can wages and American industry, and to re store the reciprocity policy of James G. Illume. We have always given protection to our shipbuilders. In late years ue havo neglected tc protect our shipowners. W lxliee tliti time has come to restore o the policy of Washington and Hamilton, which, by ills, criminating duties in fiivor of American bot toms, secured 99 per cent of our carrj itig tiadc to American ships, nnd which, if now restored, would again tevlve our shipping and cause American freights to be paid to Ameri. cans. The American people, from tradition and Interest, favor bimctalism, and the Republi can party demands the use of both gold and silver as standard money with such icstrict ions and under such provisions to be determ ined by legislation, as will secure the main, tenance of the parity of values of the two metals, so that the purchasing and debt-pay. ing power of the dollar, whether of silver, gold or paper, shall be at all times equal, Thb interest of the producers of the country its farmers and its workingmen demand that every dollar, paper or coin, issued by the government shall be as good as any other dollar. Resolved, That we earnestly endorse the proposed amendment to the constitution of the United States, providing for the election of United Slates senators by popular vote, recently reported from the committee on privileges and elections by Senator Mitchell and now pending consideration In the United State Senates. Resolved, That tho application of the Ore gon delegation In congress to the president of the United States and now pending before him. praying a modification of his procla. mation creating the Cascade forest reserve, is hereby earnestly approved, and we appeal to the president to grant the prayer of our dele gallon in congress. We realize the importance and magnitude of the fishing industry on the Columbia river and would recommend that some provisions be made for a state hatchery for artificial propagation, and that the laws regulating the closed season lie rigidly enforced. That we endorse the efforts of our repre sentatives in congress to secure repayment to the settlers of Oregon of the excess of $1.25 per acre wrongfully collected by the governt ment on lands located in the limits of the unearned Northern Pacific railroad land gran now forfeited. The construction of the Nicaragua canal Is of the highest importance to the American people, both as a measure of national defense and to build up and maintain American com merce. It is moreover of special importance to our Pacific states and we demand its completion as speedly as possible by the government of the United States. We hereby endorse the action of our sena. tors and representatives In congress in their endeavor to secure grants of pensions to Indian war veterans. We pledge the Republican party to a rigid economy in the expenditure of public money; to the reductiou of excessivo salaries; and the abolishment of the fee system whenever possible, and of all useless commissions; and bclleyc that no appropriation should be made to any school or charitable institution not under the control of the state; and oppose the incorporation lp(o ttye general appropriation bill of items for trie expenditure of public money not authorized by law. We demand the enactment of rigid restrict ions on foreign immigration, both for protection of our country against illiterate and vicious classes from foreign lands and for protection of our labor and preservation to our own people of the remainder of our national domain We commend the policy of the Republican party in relation to internal improve ments, ana in particular in opening our waterways to commerce, and we denounce the llliberalfiy of Democratic party in these in portant matters. Respectfully submitted. T. E. Fell, SouIIirscii, Secrolarv. Chairman HiVSi Saved His Life by a fortunate dis covery in we nick or time. Hundreds of craons euiTertntr rotu consumption have had the pro grcss of the disease mopped, nnd have been brought back to lifcand health by the ''Golden Medical Discovery" of Dr. Pierce Yearn ago Dr. R. V Pierce, now chief consulting physician to the Invalids' Hotel and Surgical Institute of Buffalo, N. Y., recognizing' the fact that consumption was essentially a germ disease, and that a rem edy which would drive the genus and their poisons from the blood would cure consump tion, at last found a medicine which cured oS per cent, of all cases, if taken In the earlier stages of the disease. The tissues of the lungs being irritated by the germs and poisons in the blood circulat ing through them, the germs find lodgment there, and the lungs begin to break down. Soon the general health begins to fall, and the person feels languid, weak, faint, drowsy and confused. This is the time to take Dr. Flerce's Gold en Medical Discevery: it drives the germs and poisons from the blood, and has a sooth ing effect upon the dry cough. In cases of bronchitis the "Discovery" is invaluable. "Golden Medical Discovery" Increases the amount and quality of the blood, thus invig orating and fortifying the system against dis ease and builds up wholesome flesh and strength after wasting diseases, as (even pneumonia, grip and other debilitating af Sections.
