be made use OF TO persuade, Ueluue, ue- |
ceive, or compel the people Into accepting |
the single monetary standard is being cm- |
ploycd. Gold is being shipped to Europe |
without reason merely TO create the impress |
sion that silver has begun to drive out |
gold. The whole power OF the banks aud
the bondholders Is being exerted TO force
the country into the adoption Of the single
standard. Tho silver men, the friends OF
the double standard, the advocates OF the
old order Of things under which the people
prospercd, should meet this conspiracy
boldly. The fight is inevitable aud the
friends Of the double standard should bring
IL TO an issue, and the sooner the better. IL
is useless TO talk OF the delay or compro.
mise, because this lisa case where delayls
dangerous and compromise impossible. The
men who are trying TO wreck the country
for the benefit OF the banks and bondhOlders
should be met boldly The Oregon State

There is q strong feeling among the farm
ers everywhere In favor OF uniting with the
knights Of Labor. That Is right. What.
ever is to the interest OF the laboring man
is also TO the interest of the farmer, and
vice versa. II the laborer gets o liberal
price for his labor he is able TO pay the
farmer fair price for the productions OF
the farm. II greedy corporations are allowed
to gobble all the profits, neither the farmer
nor the lnborer is benefited. There is n low

throughout the length and breadth OF the
land. There is storm approaching. The
men who labor I'm our workshops, on our
farms, and our railroads arc going to be
heard. They constitute the great mass Of
our population. The muscles OF these men
keep the wheels Of our government moving
and they are going to have something to
say about how those "wheels" shall be
moved. There is nothing revolutionary In
the spirit Of discomfort that has taken hold
| OF the laboring and producing classes OF
this country, but simply determination on
the part Of these classes to exercise the
rights Of citizenship guaranteed to them by
the constitution. The tendency Of the time
is to make millionaires out of the few and
| paupers out OF the many. There seems TO
| be q unanimity Of opinion among the mem
| Befs OF the national labor committee that
| convict labor must 20, or at least II must be
! SO banded as not to come In competition
with honest labor Chamois, Mo-, Liber-

Any one familiar with our currency before
4 the Republican party came into power, when
the banks In the several states would nottake
the currency Of banks In other states without
discount, and business could not be done
between the east and west without large
exchange, will appreciate the great service
the Republican party has been to the coun-
try. The west could not have made the
progress IL has but for the monetary system
the Republicans have established. The Re-

We do not care to see general division
Of property in this country. The worker
should never be required to divide with The
spendthrifts or sluggard. 1t would hardly
seem to be consistent with the theory Of our
government to say that man shall be de-
prived OF any property that can he honestly
acquire, be 1t much or little. Still the vast
concentration Of capital that has been
effected during a comparatively recent
period Is not for the public interest, and
may become source Of great evil-[The

The demand is coming from all over the
county that the standard of examinations
shall be raised. This is a step in the right

merit commands the highest grade, and the
salaries Of the best teachers are common

We may expect better work in the schools

There seems to be but little doubt that
the present session Of Congress will witness
the passage Of the Blair educational bill
,,,II H. III 49, 4
among the various states Of the Union ac
cording to their. illiteracy. That there is
opposition to this measure, even among
those who are to be the most benefited,
there can be no doubt We believe, how
ever, that this opposition comes from Q
mistaken idea as to the manner In which
the money is to be appropriated, and how
1t is to be used after secured, In the first
place II is not party measure, coming from
any political party, but on the other hand
is championed by both Democrats and Re-
publicans, and also opposed by those OF
every shade Of political opinion. Even II II
were party measure, but had for its object
the education OF the masses, the intellectual
Improvement Of more than 15,0O0,00C
children, then that party which would In
dorse 1t would deserve the respect and
gratitude Of the whole people, while the
one that would oppose 1t should be SCI
down as In favor Of retarding the intellec
tual development Of great nation.-[ThC
