Trim Americans want bimetallism thnt blmctallates without the consent of England. LastJanuory John II. Mitchell put the question Of Independent bimetal lism first. Wall Btreet and the wealth of the United States was against Lincoln In 1800 ns It Is against Uryan today. T. T. Occr's grandfather didn't wear a bobtail shirt and therefore the silver question has no place In this campaign. Working men, Just vote with us millionaires and syndicate managers, nnd wc will keep your families from starving. If Mr. McKlnley Is elected, no ono will bo entitled to higher honors in this county than Walter L. Tooze, of Woodburn.

Tho departure of Tllmon Ford to the gold standard, la tho heaviest loss the silver mon of Marlon county have sustained. Lower telegraph rates arc an nounced by tho Western Union Tele graph Co. That will bo appreciated In these times. The gold papers are worrying about "Hrynn'B theories." They hotter pay a little uttcntlon to his practices. Ho pays as he goes. Win, Ford agrees with Mr. Mitchell In putting the tariff beforo tho money question. But other peoplo don't put the tariff llrst. LI Hung Chang Is coming to our country, on his way to China. Ho will boentortalnedat Now York by tho Cleveland administration. D. E. Swank, tho Aumsvlllo miller, says ho will novor voto for MoKlnloy. Ho docs not bcllove either McKlnley or Bryan can savo tho country. A ktrbcouo Is tho old fashioned country stylo of celebrating. That's tho way to ratify tho nomination of a country boy for president. A liuriMHl.nniirfif W man worklnir near Eugene, took a voto on the money question n few days ago. Tho voto resulted! Silver 10; gold 1. That was 1(1 to 1. If Mr. MoKlnloy Is elected wo shall bo Hooded with prosperity. If Bryuu Is elected tho country will bo Hooded with silver. Wo shall catch It either wr.

', UNI Vjii '"'"' WE AUT3 ALL AMERICANS. . Many patriotic Democrats who can not consistently support Major Mc Klnley as a Republican will glully vote for him as an American. The foremost principle among those he re presents that the Natlonul honor must be protected against enemies from within as well nsagalnst focmen from without. New York Mall and Ex press. The above paper Is Major McKln ley's personal organ. It Is owned by a son-In-law of the Vantlorbllts. Its argument that many patriotic ' Democrats who cannot consistently support Major McKI nicy as a Repub lican can support him "as an Ameil can," will hardly go down. .Since when do the t.'rms Republican and American no longer mean the same In American politics? Is not the above a confession that Major Mckinley Is standing upon un un-American platform which no pa triotic American can support? Then with what consistency are Democrats asked to support Major Me Klnlev "as an American" wuen mey caunni support mm as a ncpuuiiainr lie I ore lie was oapiizeu in ;inrK Hanna's tank of Rrltisli gold any American could support Major Mo Klnley as a ltepubllcan; but not since. WHERE THEY STAND. The present campaign has disclosed that many a man who has heretofore talked "silver" and many big news piM?rs that -have advocated "silver" were only doing so from motives of policy or demagogy. This campaign has smoked the goldbug "nigger" out of the wood pile. The sliver question has become tho "llvo wire" of American politics, of world politics, and the goldbug In disguise takes his proper place. The alleged "silver" papers of Cali fornia have all been unmasked and tho sales of Chronicles, Calls, etc., have fallen off to about 2.1 altogether at Salem and 200 Examiners are taken hero now. MR. FORD AND SILVER Tllmon Ford of Salem has always been counted a silver man. In the legislature ho tnado a record for frco coinage. Ho has always said he was a silver man. He now nddrcsscs audi ences as "we frecsllver Republicans." Hut now that the money question Is tho vital Issue, and tho battlo Is squarely betweon tho gold Btnudurd and Independent Amorlcau Illmot iilllsm, ho takes tho position that settlement of tho monoy question shall bo postponed. Wo regret to say that In effect Mr. Ford has virtually put himself on tho sldo of tho gold standard In this light. Mr. Ford can delude a Jury but ho cannot delude tho peoplo of Oregon In this mattor. T. T. Gcor will address tho Work- logmen's club Friday evening. He Is tho ablest advocate of tho (gold standard In Oregon and a McKlnley presidential elector. Senator Thurston has retracted his charge that Bryan was over in tho employ of tho silver mlnoownors. Tho Salem Statesman repeats the lie from day to day. First In importance is tho money question; next tho Immigration ques tion; then tho tariff; but not tariff llrst say tho people. And tho peoplo's rights In this case arc paramount to tho politicians. John H. Mitchell will, It Is said, " tll MOklllloy campaign lit Woodburn, where tho silver boys made the tight of their lives for him against tho goldbug's gold. Wo shall believe It when wo see It. Not until. Many Republicans havo no doubt asked themselves, why should our country bow down to Great Britain In Its financial policy, any inoro than wo do In our commercial policy? And there Is not a good reason. Out of eighty voters In Dexter pro duct, Lane county, not to exceed 8 aro for tho gold standard. In one pre cinct of 'Marlon county, out of 75 voters only twelve aro for McKlnley, counting all doubtful for him. OAiaTORZ... almlla llM t?Kf alfUtUt a v; i.t WHAT 10 TO 1 MEANS. Director of the Mint Preston has Issued a circular In which he explains the meaning of 10 to 1 as follews: All standard silver dollars coined by the mints or the United States since the passage of the act of January 18, 1837, have been coined in the ratio of 1 to 15.081 generally called the ratio oi i lo jo. Mill to reacu accurau! it-i suits, the former and not tho latter figure must be used in calculations, the ratio Is obtained in this way: The silver dollar contained 371.25 grains of pure silver and the gold dollar 23 22, grains of pure gold. If you divide 371.23 by 23.22 you will get the ratio, or weight between a gold dollar and a silver dollar that Is 15.0881. It Is,' ... ... .....I i.i i iruo inai 10 oe on a par wun win, sliver would (at our ratio) be worth $1.2020, the reason Is this: A gold dollar contains 23.22 grains of pure gold In an ounce, or 480 grains of gold. There arc us many dollars as 23.22 Is contained times In 480 grains. If you divide 480 by 23.22 you got $20.07, the number of dollars that can be coined out of an ounce of pure gold. In other words, the money, equivalent of an ounce of gold, or of 15.0881 ounces of silver, at the ratio of 1 to 15.0881. Now, If 15.0884 ounces of sliver be worth $20.07, one ounco is worth $1.2020 as you can prove by simple division. Tho same result Is ob tained by dividing 480 grains, or one ounce of silver, by 371.25, the number or grains of pure silver In a standard silver dollar at the ratio of 1 to 15.0884, which gives $1.2020. Sixteen ounces or pure silver will coin a little more than ono ounce or gold; 15.0881 ounces or silver will coin exactly the same amount or money as ono ounce or gold; that Is $20.07. You can prove this by dividing 15.0884 ounces by 371.25 grains, the operation is as follews: 15.0881 multiplied by 180, divided by 371.25, equals $20,074. It Is not truo thnt 1(1 ounces of silver will come only $10.80 at the rate of 1 to 10. As will bo scon above, ono ounco of silver will coin $1.2020. Multiplying $1.2020 by 10 gives $20.(13. You can obtain tho entno results In another way. Sixteen ounces Troy, or 7,080 grains divided by 371.25 gives the number of silver dollars that can be coined out of 10 ounces of silver. 7,080 divided by 371.25 equals $20.08. Caiialk. ItETB ACTION DEMADED. The Statesman prints neither Hryan's denial that ho was ever em ployed by silver mlnoownors, nor Sen ator Thurston's confession and ad in is ston that Rryan tells the truth. Tin: Journal printed tho charges against Bryan, Bryan's denial and Thurston's admission. These facts wero all In the associated press re ports that tho Statesman gets, but suppresses, In tho Interest or MoKln loy. Tho peoplo demand a retraction, Mr. Statesman. Tho labor exchanges aro springing up all over our country. Monoy Is so scarce tho peoplo cannot consumo tho farmer's products. Hut they can trado tho products of ono another's labor. Tho labor of hands and tho necessities of llfo cannot bo demone tized or monopolized. Unless frco coinage can bo restored tho producer Is gone up, and must go back to bar ter and trade. Carloads ot goldbug speeches aro being distributed In Oregon In tho In terst of McKlnley and Hobart. Per sonal lottors aro bolng sent by tho committees, paid with -Mark Hanna's funds to all laboring men, promising employment nt big wages If MoKln loy Is elected. Senator Thurston says: "I am free to say that a vigorous campaign must be kept up until election day, to ac complish what we hope." Isn't that a squeal of victory, though? Salem Is delightful as a summer resort. More peoplo aro staylnu at home than over before, Tho nights aro cool nnd tho days aro pleasant. Prcparo to attend tho Bryan ratltl catlonnt Salem Sept. S.
