BENEFIT OF HAVING AN OP POSITION PARTY. The predatory politician who shouts for the gold standard, because he lilnk-8 It will keep his party In power and his noso 31n the pub llo crib, sneers at the Union party as a mere fusion for spoils. lie can't see any possible good in It. The thoughtful citizen, who Is really tho controlling factor In public affair?, can see the value of a well organized opposition party to hold down these self-same paedatory ele iucnts in tho Republican party, He can 6eo that a safe conservative union of forces Is the only means of salva tion against high taxes, cxtrayaganco In public affairs and corruption In politics. Tho Intelligent taxpayer knows that mere tluanclal theories have nothing to do with practical udinln '"fttfratlon In state, county, city and school affairs. Thegoldbug may boa boodle politician. The sliver man or Populist may be a strictly Honest pub lic oillclal. Who are the taxpayers of Marlon county to turn to for relief from high tuxes but tho Union, or opposition party, If the Union had not proposed it net reduction of sala'lss of $0000 a -yegr would it over have occurred to the Rf publicans to promise a reduc tion of 810,000 or more? Don't It make you smile ? So lung as the Republicans are ublo to keep the people divided into three or four minority parties, and elect uny "yellow dog" that can get on tho ticket, they will not put up any other than "yellow dog" candidates or give the people anything but yellow dog government. If the taxpayers In the Republican party wio want n-ilef from high . taxes In connty and state, they can get tt by electing the Union ticket If they endorse tho Insluceru promises of icfurtu made them by a party con trolled by tho cormorant class of predatory politicians need they ex pect reforms ? No state In tho Union needs the ' keeUclal tntluence of a strong well organized opposition party so badly as Oregon, Four years ngo tho Qregou 1b pledged tho Republican state tleket to accomplish the satno re forms that It now denounces King mmI tho Union candidates for so Mr&csMy demanding. Oregon Is a state twice as large as Iowa, with about one-eoyeuth tho papulation. Nearly one-third the t yctMi arc In one county, or Under Its n'Uimace. A union of tho Reform vefcs alone can "protect the people jkhh the organized raids of thoipro- ftwttorul depredators. S t.. "SbV Philadelphia. Pittsburgh, nnltlmoro. TWO KINDS OF DOLLARS. Let It be distinctly understood thsr in what we offer o-i the this questitu there Is no reflection on the McKlnle.i administration. YVc will excuse Harvey Scott fm calling the advocu-y of trie colnap or Issues of national treasury note TREASON. We'll note ill thoe who ndvocat tho Gage pulley, or uny form of tin gold standirl, tr..lti s or any ollu-bloo-J -curdling cuno.iien. We would Ilk s to keap their mind open to the fact that this Is a govern ment of the people, In theory at least and that iuoimiciiIo.iI dictation from tho alleged mental aristocracy o wealth don't go down. Now the people are b.iekof the tinan clal system In a government of the pen pic and not tlicyntli.-;iUs uf gulabug American or rorelgn. '1 he p-opl still exist and hayc a rignu iuu pres themselves. And the people have enough con mon horse Intelligence to realize that there are two kinds of dollars. There is the dollar of the people the free-coinage, sovereign-willed, honest Uncle Samuel dollar, that cir culates as the common currency by the laws of congress and the edict of the people, taxing no one, blessing everyone; and then there is tho syndi cated, bond-purchased, fly-blown-wlth-corpcratlon-Iniquity, Interest bearing, Interest-eating, gold-debt-dollar. Under free coinage tho people would have plenty of tho former kind of gold, silver ana national treasury note dollars, eating no interest, sucking no llfeblood out of in dustry. Under restricted, syndicated, cor puratlonlzcd dollarlsm, tho people would have no money in clrculat'on on which they were not paying both taxes and Interest. The syndicated capitalized dollar, controlled, hoarded, or circulated by the sovereign will of the corporation, would only circulate when called forth by speculation aud cupidity. The sovereign dollar, created under laws of equality for all, rich or poor, individual or corporation, would cir culate when called forth by tho ne cessities of human Industry. My dear reader, which dol'ar would you stand the better show to get into your possession ? The capitalized Interest-bearing gold-bonded dollar coming out' to bless tho people by tho grace of some largo hearted, homey handed national banker on the Gago plan, or an honest free-coinage dollar created by labor, by law. by the sovereign will of a free people, and by the grace of Almighty God? Do you want tho dollar that will bo your master, or do you want one to be your servant? Should the dollar bo tho creature of the- people and the creation of some olaFs whollye off tho people? Can the dollar rlso above tho sourco whence It springs? What la the soul, brain and conscience back of the Gago gold standard dollar? STAND BY EASTERN OREGON. It would have a wholesome salu tary elfect on this commonwealth to elect Hon. Will R. King of Eastern Oregon governor. It would establish new relations and new bonds of friendship between two 'sections of tho state that have become somewhat estranged. Let us tie Eastern and Western Or egon together by a new alliance, and sunder tho old corrupt political Influ ences and co-part ncrshlp that has pre vailed too long to tho detriment of our peoplo, and has hindered the do. vclopment of our state, Western Oregon and tho Willamette v alley have- too long held a monopoly In our state alfalrs. Let us destroy that centralization of power by elect ing Will R. King, governor. A man of the present generation and free from tho corrupting Iniluenccs of the ring politicians. Six Men Drowned, Pittshuhu, May 21. Ten men at tempted to cross the Alleghuney river on a raft nearSpnngdale, Pa. When in me center or tho stream, tho rait was swamped by tho rough current and the men were precipitated Into the water. Four men succeeded In reaching the shore, but tho others drowned.

Carlisle, the historian, in one of hi essays, compares the politician seek ing olflt-c and popularity to "the dog that was drowned last summer, and that floats up and down the Thames with ebb and Hood. You get to know liinj by sight, with a painful oppres sion of nose. Dally you may see him, and dally the odor of him getting more Intolerable." But the worst cdors become endurable by too fre quent repetition, the senses become vitiated, and tn time, what was dls disgusting Is borne unnoticed, and in a manner relished It Is so with parties and the poli ticians who lead them. The malo dorous act Ions of the average otlice -eeker occasions only a temporary ccs satlon of party support. Partlsanism, 1 blunted sccse of moral principle, and a servile acquiescence to machine nnlnatlons by the fituasscs, 's what timkes a politician's life of such long continuance. -Our time is aflllctcd with petty polltlclansor small calibre, Alio-e pertinacity in seeking otlice h rully equaled by the folly of the oters In supporting them. The of tlce seeker Is too often the tool of tin reut corporations, the slave of all mon ted liittres-ts, the (doormat upon which they wipe their feet. . .... nere, in Oregon, the Republican natty lias got up a false enthusiasm over one of these vermln,pieylng upon 1 gullible public, whoso small trick cry and wire pulling has been a stench in the notnls of his own party. We eo young men wearing badees and vhnoping him up, who can give you no reason for jo doing, than, that he N the Republican nominee for gov ernor. A nun In .whose nomination hey had no voice, for whom the wlrcf Acre being pulled for the last six months b himself and the machine o tiling about this very string; the piimurles being prepared, delegates selected, and to men commanding an lullucntlal following, every office at the disposal of the governor promised ten times over. Thus men buy and sell themselves to get their hands in the public trough. Wo cannot show this man tn his proper colors because no paper would publish It. Here we ha"c another safe guard to the exposure of corruption in politics tho newspapers that could virtually extinguish this man, and deservedly so. Is the very Instrument to elevate him to a posl tlcn for which ne Is mentally and morally unfit. But so high do we Republicans look, that mentaltdeflclcncy-and moral turpitude count as nothing, so be, he is of our party and our nominee. Therefore In order to get a hearing, we must confine ourselves to a super ficial review of this man's public acts. As a farmer ho has been a financial failure. This Is not so much to be wondered at when we hear him speak on the money question, or read one of his articles In tho Oregonlan upon tho same subject. It was no doubt the recognition of himself as a failure financially, that prompted him to write some puerile letters, demon strntlngto the dull Intellects of the farmers tho enormous advantage of the railroads to agriculture. Haying written several of these, he then de manded his pay a free pass from the railroad corporation, and received it ne has dead-headed over the railroads tho past fifteen years. This has been of great advantage to him in his busi ness of olllce-seeklng. Not, mind you, for the sake of holding ofllco for tho benefit ho could render his country, but for tho ayowed purpose of for "what there was In It." This was his unsolicited declaration in the bosom of his own family, whilst glorying In his cleva tlon to tho speakership. It was made In tho fullness of his heart when he imagined cyery trophy In tho arena of nolitici within his grasp. The speakership Is said to hayo been payment tn full for his vote on the Bull Run water bill. He has stumped tho state the past fifteen years. Aro we to attribute tho knowledge of his party on the money question to this stutuplng business. Wo aro 6orry to say that their financial ideas do not flow -In a pellucid stream. That their champion and exponent of the money question has traveled In unclean ways may partially accountifor this. Tho gold Republicans must not consider this a slur upon tlictr mental capacity. Tho fountalni of thelrchamplon's Inspira tion upon finance is tho Oregonlan. All good Republicans believe In tho Oregonlan, and It Is natural for the children to follow In tho steps of their parent. Yet the Oregonlan closed Its columns on Gecr during ono of his discussions on money becauso his argument was nonsensical. Not very consistent. His laborious services, say his coad jutors, to tho party have- not been suf ficiently remunerated. Political ac ttvlty llko hl, deserves first placo at the public crib. Yet I knew rf no sorvlco he has rendered tho party for which ho was not abundantly recom pensed. But It is good policy to play upon the sympathies of the people, es pecially In this Instance. Much ne glected Individual, has coyer had any pie, lot us make tutu governor) Tho tact Is, that lie had held himself too cheap, and the corporations have a proper estimate of a man who begs a pass and other franking privileges for himself and family, his uncles and his aunts. Thoy know the worth of that kind of cattlo, it the voters do not. An attempt Is being made to arouso enthusiasm among the farmers for tho 'farmer ' candidate." Ills political history published In tho Capital Journal affords no tnstanco of his supporting any measure beneficial to that class. II U vote has been the other way aj In the Br 11 Run water bill far the capitalist. When It was evident that he was going to rote the second time for that bill, some of the heavy taxpayers or Salem threatened him with political extinction if he did not sustain the governor's veto. ThN argument was convincing and he voted accordingly. No the men who pulled him out of that hole arc supporting him for governor, know ing he Is the willing tool of the cor porations. Elevated to the guber natorial chair, arc these men going to herd him and warn him out of every ditty puddle ho has a prcdcllction for getting Into ? They can't make a silk purse out of a sow's car. The newspapers, for want of any other recommendation, commend him as an eloquent writer. A notable instance of the gabble called eloquence occurred In the dis cussion he had with the warden of the stale prison of Washington, In the Oregonlan. Ills paragraphs, down a whole column, began "You must be an old mossback not. to know this," You must be an old antedeluvlan not to know that," "You must be an old saurian not to know," etc. Any one can see that this is the very essence of eloquence and sound logic. One can imagine the "old ante deluvlans" and and "old saurians grinning with de light to find themselves resurrected to annihilate nn opponent In argu ment. Then they say "ho has always been for the party. It strikes me forcibly that he tried Prohibition, but his fol lowing was unpropltlous and he abandoned It. Then ho was a free silver Mitcliellite, but when Mitchell jumped down on the gold side of the fence Theodore Thurston followed suit. lie has tried other things but enough. Once when down on his luck In politics, he remarked to a neighbor that "if the Republicans did not do something for him he would try some other party." Ho is not hunting for olllcc, oh nol There is another side to this para gon of farmers, almost comic. He has made some pretentions to religion, lias patronized the Sunday School, is revered in Silverton for his free thought proclivities, and the "Torch of Reason" went into ecstacies over him because it discovered that he had some loose notions about free love. In the shadow of Free Thought Hall he made a pious friend belleye that he entertained some thought of becoming a Christian, thereby secur ing a vote. I mention this last to show how some of us are deficient in obseryatlon. That religious gentle man has known Geer all his life, but has not the remotest idea of hisdupli city. But T. T. had a just apprecia tion of the ma's gullabillty. Having an eye for the main chance he joined tho A. P. A. And we find that numbers of that organiza tlon were very officious In manipula ting primaries in his behalf. There Is another secret order which has con tributed much to his success in poll tics; but here again I must pause, and simply call your attention to the effect of secret orders on politics. It only remains for him .to join the true Catholic church (would they have him?) and then he will have run through tho whole gamut of artifices for making votes, and have knocked at the door of eyery "Ist" and "Ism" The Vicar of Bray held down his seat no mutter who was king. But the Tall Fir would not turn his coat? I hear a disaffected voter say "lie would turn his skin if ho could for office." As we pan him down we find no color of gold, but much black sand. Some one says "ho Is an honest man." Is It honest to hire yourself to the great corporations for a pass and franking benefits? A man who would do that lacks the very essentials of what goes to make a man, to say nothing of honesty. ne, the tool of the corporations, posing as the Farmer's friend. Faugh! lean smell Carllsles' odor ous dog. Now, I would ask all Republicans, Death eritnl t'bars the passage iway through the 'door of happiness for thousands up. on thousand of wistful women. The woman whose nerves are racked by pain, and whose strength Is sapped by debili tating drains, due to weakness and disease of the or gans peculiar to women, cannot be happy. She is not only shut out from happiness, but death dally con fronts her. SIa ternitv. to a wo. man thus afflict. ed, Is fraught with great danger. Bven if she escapes with her life, It is only to live a martyr to untold agony. This is needless. xuousanas ot women uava found a sure, and certain remedy and have spoken in no uncertain words of its almost miraculous action. This remedy is Dr. Tierce's Favorite Pre. cription. It acts directly upon the organs that make wifehood and motherhood nos. slble. It gives them health and vigor. It stops weakening drains, allays inflammation and soothes pain. The ncr 1, no longer tortured, resume their natural function of directing the healthy action of all the organs of the body. Under its Dinlgn Influence the weak, sickly, nervous, fretful invalid, be comes a robust, capable, helpful, amiable wife, fitted for the duties of motherhood. AH good druggists sell it 'Three year ago," writes Mrs. J. M Mtuter, of im Vaniterbllt Avenue. New York, N. V., "I was g-iveu uo by some of the best p) vstdan la this city.

We understand the Incentive of those who have been promised the peniten tiary, the asylum, the reform school, etc. But I address the rank and file who simply vote. He is the avowed tool of the monled Interests ,we know; yet we are quite willing to elevate him to a placo where he can serve them still better. It makes no differ ence what party he affiliates with, no one who loves good government should give htm support. The politicians and newspapers raise the battle cry of "goldite," "sllvertte,'' and the fool voters divide Into two hostile camps and vote against one another and their own Interests. It would seem that any other Issue outside of this shlboleth Is an unknown quantity rtth the ma jority of voters. If wo were not so prejudiced and biased we would not suffer these dem agogues and political shysters to run our primaries and pack our conven tions. As It Is. we blindly follow their lead, and vote to a man for their nominees. That Is why Geer has been so diligent and profuse in promising offices to men as hungry as himself, and they packed tho prim aries and conventions. If he could get the nomination, be was sure of tho vote. The convention departed from the usual Republican precedent of conferring a second 'nomination upon a deserving servant, turning down an able jurist for a truckling shyster, dethroning tho king and crowning the knave, sacrificing Gov ernor Lord and his friends to the In terests of T. T. Geer. From the disatlsfaction of some of his delegates, it would appear that thoy were slaughtered al6o. But that was a small affair; he would have slaughtered the party had It been necessary, to procure the nomination, ne Is for T. T. Geer first, last, and all the time, but some of his delegates don't seem to knpw it even now. How the Republican party has fallen from Its high ideals since tho days of Lin coln. No lofty aspirations to obtain noble ends by noble deeds. Blatant blatherskites, and Incom petent blockheads pose for our ap plause, and receive our ballots, and crowd one another at the pie counter trough, What shall we say of the Intcllegence of a party that suffers this indignity ? We ask the ques tlon with all due respect. What Is Mr. Geer's estimate of Its Intellig ence? Ho affirmed it was not to be trusted to elect a senator by popular vote. Of course not. They must elect him and he will choose their senator. He holds us at less value than the forty cent dollar. In conclusion, I would say, that the man Is a political degenerate. We shout for a clean man, and then nom inate one notoriously corrupt and In competent, and guiltless of any act worthy our support. It remains to be seen whether the Republican party Is going to stoop to the degradation of electing him. Buzzards prey only upon dead carcases. Repoblican. Salem, May 18. 1898.

Buck,ofDelaney,Ark.,had Scrofula for twenty-five years and most of the time was under the care of the doctors who could not relieve her. A specialist said he could cure her, but he filled her with arsenic and potash which almost ruined her constitution. She then took nearly Skrf every so-called blood but they did not reach .her trouble. Some nnr arlvisoil her tn trv c C C nA ol, .-, w.t-r.w. .suit .. .j soon found that she had a real blood remedy at last. She says: "After tak ing one dozen bottles of S.S.S.
