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.

larly for aa editorial that appeared lo

'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?"

oven though he be a worshipper of the
golden calf.
Hut as the money question is the
most Important In national politics,
tso Is that of direct legislation in state
ji politics. 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.

An Indian in full evening undress

an empty flask lying by his side and a

Just returned uftcr an absenco of sev
