to the number of 400 met at the Purdy
opera house last evening to listen to an
able discourse on the purposes and
principles of the Republican party, by
Patrick Henry Winston, of Spokane.
The meeting was called to order by J.
II. Schively, president Of the Young
Mems Republican club, after which a
quartette composed of j. B. Rowland
Il. w. Miller, l.. Il. Patchen and Gill
bert Miller sung thatwell-known old
song Marching Through Georgia."
On motion of f. G. Teck the regular
order of business of the club was sus-
pended and the membership roll Of the
club thrown open for signing. Nine
teen new names were added TO the
clubs constitution and bylaws, max
ing total of 200 members.
J. II. Schively introduced the speak
er. He spoke earnestly Of the purposes
and principles Of the Republican party
in this campaign, and in all former
campaigns, outlining the policy pur-
sued by them since the party was or
ganized, and calling attention TO the
stand taken by the peoples representa-
tives in the money and tariff issues.
He said in part: "I take for granted
that the descendants Of those men who
fought for liberty and freedom more
than a century ago, and those who
fought at a more recent period, that
the law and liberty Of the land might
be perpetuated, have made up their
minds that liberty, regulated by law
and order, shall be perpetuated for
evermore on these shores, because no
matter what fancy may occupy ones
mind or what dreams overwhelm our
brains no theory can give us liberty if
the flag of freedom Is once struck
down.
will not talk Of finance except to
say that money Is the medium Of ex-
change as you all know, and the Re
publican party says that when dollar
Is used it must be the best dollar that
can be placed in the hands Of the peo-
pie. Whenever the product Of the
farm, the mill, the shop, of labor, of
intellect is exchanged for money, that
money shall be Of fixed and perma-
nent value. The party does not want
to see dollar put In the hands of the
people today which will be worth but
80 cents tomorrow. A dollar is worth
what it will exchange for, nothing
more, and ii may as well be of one
material as another, nothing but the
guarantee of the government gives it a
purchasing value and the Republican
party proposes that this guarantee
shall be such that once dollar always
dollar. This is the stand taken by
the party on the financial question, and
on this they propose to fight it out and
protect the people from the scheming
Of manipulators and dishonest disinter-
ested parties. / watched with interest
the working of the party who came
together in Omaha and proposed
among other innovations that the gov
ernment should grant them exclusive
banking privileges by loaning money
TO them at per cent, which they
could in turn loan to borrowers at 10
per cent, which would create monied
aristocracy with no benefit TO the
people. Any man who had the
necessary security could then make
a living by loaning money
not his own and make fortune out Of
his less fortunate neighbors. If /
could / would favor such a platform
with this amendment, that each appli-
cation for government money should
be accompanied by certificate of in
solvency, and we who have no money
or security to offer could make for
tune by loaning to the monied aristoc-
racy who are abundantly able to pay
us high rates Of interest.
On the tariff question the Republi-
can stand Is the only one that can be
taken to result in the greatest good to
the greatest number. They propose to
raise the revenue, and protect the
workman, by taxing imported goods
sufficiently to cover the difference be-.
tween this and foreign countries, not
the difference in cost alone, but the
difference In manhood here and
abroad.
In state politics the interest Of the
people is identical with national affairs,
that the best men may be selected for
the conduct Of the government, and
this new state, made one Of the nation
by the pen Of Benjamin Harrison, be
not, at the start, robbed Of her rights as
one of the best nations ever estab-
lished. There Is no necessity TO 90
outside the party to find good men for
the conduct Of our affairs, and the
simple reading Of the names Of those
selected should be guarantee Of their
integrity and that the interests Of the
people will be protected, and the same
laws for rich and for poor be enforced
without distinction Of person or party.
In your county convention differ
ences Of opinion must arise. Every
body cannot be suited, but have a care
that the best possible selections are
made and men put In nomination who
have at heart the interest Of the county
and state, and who are not ashamed OF
Benjamin Harrison or his record.
