SENATOR WILLIAMS writes that he will
return to Oregon in time to take part in the
Presidential canvass. If Old Flax Brake
takes the stump for the radicals, Oregon is
sure for 1900 democratic majority. The
intense selfshness and meanness Of Williams
will drive liberal-minded men from any party
with which he afflliates Let the Senator
take the stump and the democracy can rest
on their oars.

lags for the reason that the towns on the

own subscriptions have been quite liberal,
and had the towns below done anywhere near

EQUALITY.-Thad. Stevens and men of
his ik are forever harping about the equality
of all men before the law, and yet he and
his party originated and uphold the system
which imposes all the burdens of taxation
upon the poor man and permits the rich
bondholder to go scot free. This is what we
call equality with a vengeance, and is carry
ing out the principle of making the rich
richer and the poor poorer With the Presi,
dental election this policy will be reversed,
and the Government will be administered on
the basis of "equal and exact justice to all
men,"
SPEcULAToN,-Many of the outstanding
Government bonds were bought up by spec~
ulatOrs at the rate of 35 cents. These bonds
have now paid interest at the rate of I per
cent for the last six years. Any one who
will make the calculation will see that at this
rate the holders have already been paid the
amount of their original investment and
seven dollars on the hundred over. Reader.
ponder this statement of facts, and then think
oil the hypocrisy of the cantiUg radicals who
turn up their eyes in holy horror at the bare
proposition to pay the bonds in the currency
