A FILVBR RBPCHCICAX. David Barr Obase, wf Salem, write: Here Is one Sllrer KetwWtem win I ready to heartily endorse tle work or the Union conference, which wet at Albany, last week. A better dec laration or prlclrilei "aid be bar! to formulate, or one on which it would be easier ror the reform fora to unite. To those who expected a wild carnival of anareJihtir cranxi ne&i the result tuul be MMiewliat of a surprise and a disappointment. The declaration on the money que- tlon l absolutely unobjectionable, nnd covers every point that It In nc essiry or advisable to raise now. The free coinage of gold and sliver, inde- ptndently or England's blessing, the isueofall paper money by the gov ernment without thellntcrveatlnn of bank?, the absolute equality before the law of all money Issued by the grern.n;nt. ml fie denial of the right of any pri-ate Individual to demonetize any kind of Uncle Sam's money these are the things on which we are all agreed. As to whether paper money should be redeemable In coin or not, that Is a question which it 8 the part of pio- .foundest wisdom to leave in abeyance at this time. It will be time enough to decide that when the season to take action on it approaches. There is an honest difference of opinion now and to tight over It would only pre vent us from working together for the accomplishment of that on which e arc all agreed. And our Populist friends ought not to object to this.for , time and study are bringing many .converts to the Populist belief, and no one ever leaves the first proposition to go back to the other. Ho a post ponement of that fight is clearly In the Interest of those who believe in a scientitlc currency. We should be able to all light shoulder to shoulder for the money plank. The demand for the redumption of Oregon rrom rings, etc., is one that otaiefces of InearMte greed. Ixwg lire the Uafoa ! David Rckr Crass. Salsk, Or., Jm , 13K.

W II. Spatt, of Laae coaaty, I mites, wan w.

G.rft Ojrie, of Molalla, writes: there, I feel satteied that a mistake Alluw ue u euttgraUilate yoa oa j ha beeo Made la laaoehiag the new the greatly improved eoadtuoa ot.cralt miaed the Union party, yoor paper aad to tbaak yoa ptrliea larly for aa editorial that appeared lo the Wkbrxt Jockhal of May 27, 'efollve to the People's party atralost "redeemable" money, This Is a critical time and oa the wjseaad urwslllsh action of all real reformers depends to a great extent the fature wellfare If not the very lib erty of the American people. The Xew York World seeks to "unlte"lhe two elements of the party and if the silver element cannot be coerced then the gold element, or much of it, will (for the sake of ottkre) sny with Hill: "1 am a Democrat." And thus by the aid of true reformers in doubtful states we will elect a few reformers and a large and hungry horde of pic hunters and the victory will be barren; merely getting back into the frying-pun out of the Repub lican fire. Personally and I believe I voice the sentiment of nine tenths of the Populists I would be glad to sny to the Demecracy: "If It is offlce you are after, take them all, from constables to president, and wolcorno. if you will give the people direct legislation nnd a pure ballot, for tlicn wc can soon settle the money, transportation, and other questions." But v,e would never get it, for the Democratic poli tician as a rule does not want the people to rule any more than does the gold standard Republican. There fore I fear any union until the Democrats make as much of a sacrifice of party as wc are expected to do, and I bee nothing to gain by tearing down one young and compara tively pure organization after we have, to a large extent, overcome the prejudice against our beliefs. The Populist party occupies the middle ground between the radical nationalist and the consevatlvs re former, who honestly believes that free silver alone will cure the ills of by the Albany coo fere nee. Popu late will sot rote with this new party. Neither will the Deaa-ocrat-. They feel they were not rep resented, and look with sospicioa on this new party. One leading Popu list said. "Why should the Peoples party give up the field because a new party conies akmg aad adopts part of jar platform. We will do no such a thing. How do we know they are hoaost? How do we know tle whole thing Is not a scheme to break up our party?" if " W M 0 F I MMifMnr vABB OTt et g wrcoa- tblart tkit -world t ! C.

It Is the grand, invincible principle which the Populists have forced to the front, and on which thcro can be no honest u I (Terence of opinion among those who really be . licve in a government by the people. The only possible objection Is, it Is Itself an arraignment of all popular goyernment. This form uf purely representative government, where the people delegate all their powers to u few individuals, to sell out to the highest bidder, Is proving itself a most lamentable lizzie. The only salvation for the Republic Is for the people to take back the power to them selves, when "the common sense of most fchull hold a fretful realm in awe," A stream can rise no higher than Its sourco, and a government by representatives can bo no better, though it may bo much worse, than ono by tho people thoy represent. If the great heart uf the pcoplo can not bo trustod, then Is n Republic u fail ure, an! wo would better go ton mon archy at onco. Hut the American pcoplo can bo trusted. Let thoso who think otherwlso pack their grips and go; tho sooner tho bettor. Wo huvo no use for thorn. Tho further recommendations, of tho direct election of all olllcers, and nomination by primary election, nro outlio same lino. And now,,reforiners, what more do you want V Hero you have tho ono great rofprut which renders all other reforms possible, for It nmlcos It cary to got other, reforms squarly beforo the pjople'on their merits, a thing which is impossible now. It allows the peoplo to decide each question by itself, unhampered by other compllcu- will bo echoed by every honost man, jour body politic, and It constitutes a compromise ground between the two elements that it would be difficult for any other new party to fill. The radicals will cling to the Pop ulist party so long as it remains In tact In tho hopes of it becoming; more radical or hoping to obtain more rad ical measures through direct legisla tion, but combine under a new name and with free silver the leading 'Issue and this radical clement will either form another party or join the social ists. Ilcnco I hold that tho most practical ground for a union with silver Republicans and Democrats Is inside tho People's party ranks. A DKMOCUAT OPINION. The editor or the Hillsboro "Argus,, Democrat, writes: What Is wanted In (Oregon la a smashing of tho Multnomah ring. Men should bo sent to Salem who would be free from Portland Influ ence. Wo liavo had too much Si- monism and Mltcholllsm for a number of ycais and too little legis lation. Either faction of the repub lican party is in politics for spoils only, and tho stato has been at their J morcy. Pcoplo opposed to these political larvae must get together and yauquish them at tho polls. Both Mltchclllsm aul Slmonlsm are dic tated In Multnomah county nnd their orders lssuo cither from a banking house or corporation attorney's olllce. Botlnaro gold standard, no matter how much thoy deny It. Both favor a policy of national cunoncy contrac tion and doslro to mako of state ad ministration a tool for private rev enue. Lot tho peoplo utiito against tho common enemy nnd show tho peoplo ot the stato that tho common horltngo of oitlzonshlp cannot bo trampled un der foot by thoso gontiy, Party pre- ludlco should l)e thrown aside and only tho good at gutflotiy oonldered. Every Populist present was In favor of a union of allk reform forces If it could be attained honorably and harmoniously Xow;l;ara going to propose a plan upon which a union cia be effected and will guarantee that every Populist in Lane county will be willing to accept the result if honestly carried oat and I believe our state committee will alo agree t-J thi proposition. Mr. iU'Ren, who wis rresent yesterday, expressed him sj'.f as villinsr and anxious for a fair union. Now my proposition is this: Let the executive committee of the People's party, the Free Silver or Union party, and the Democratic party meet and all join in a call for a union convention.' each party to be represented by delegates elected by their own party from each county an a basis to be agreed on by the joint committee. Each party agreeing to accept the name and platform agreed upon by the joint convention. This would be official and binding, and! think all will admit it would b2fair. If your Union or Bimetallic party Is sincere, I believe they will accept each a proposition for union that is fair to all, nnd this will also test the sincerity of the Democratic party. You may think there is too much red tape in my proposition, but remember large bodies move slowly, and also remember that it takes more than one party to a compact to make it binding. A union can be easily effected on this plan if the com mittees will act, and such a union would sweep the state. A union is no union unless all parties agree to the compact. At Albany, only one party was represented officially, therefore it is not binding and will not unite, but will tend to further divide, unles? farther action Is takea and this action to be binding and satisfactory to all must come from official sources. Why If such a convention was called, I be lieve every honest reformer In all parties will throw up their hats for joy. "United Wo Stand"and victory is certain. "Divided Wo Fall" and think what will be the final result. o. fts se would be te tell her She oust depend opoa her ability to cre ate aad fofter in him faronble and ardent feelicg To do this she cait depend nsch upon he: appearance.
