From Bryan s Speech.

from bfydn opeech.
 Now, my friends, l wish to call vour attention 10 the effect of al change of ratio. Ii vou change tho ratio the bullion ratio is some thing like l to 32. If you attempt 10 draw tue line one-half way be. tween. and make Inc ratio to 24. II mems that your silver dollar, if you increase it's size, must be one half larger than it is now And fl the nations of the world agree to n chauge of ratio, II means that tour billions ot silver in the world must be coined over into dollars aoe-haIf as lalge again. It means Il decrease i'll tae number of dol lars of one billion and che third. Il means | decrease of one sixth If the metallic money of the world. and an increase of the debts of the wofl Of many billions of dollars. and decrease in the val ne of property ef many billions of }ollars more.
 REPEAL LAW DESTROYING PARITY.
 The change in the ratio is a grave matter, and there is no oc- easion foa inviting such serions re salts upon the human race. until aGleast Von have made an f trt 10 restore the parity at the old ratio by repeating the laws that destroy ed the parity. [Applanscl But that k not thc worst It we could de this nt once and let the people readiu>t their affairs to the new condition, we might go on. but when you change the ratio, then you must coin the annual supply of silver that comes from the mines into dollars one-halt as large again as ours. If we have now S150, ,000,0 GOO available for coinage. at that time under the new ratio 1t would only make 10000, ,000. If today the gold and silver hich can be ceiaei annually, is none too great to keep pace with the progress ot the world and with the demand for money When you have decreased the amount 350, ,000, GOO you have made tue supply too smasI, and have ccn- demned your people to m appre- eating standard. ask, my frien Is, whether yuu can afford 10 change the ratio. a4d hIins disaS ter :o the human race? And yet, this K what we are asked to ao by those who talk about changing the rtie, as fl the ratio was matter of indifference. Ah, my tnends, tiis question is not eenined to the American ptoduet. Itis not cons fined to the silver of the United States; tlIs money question which reaches ont and touches every ha- man bcing from the time he leaves tho cradle until he enters the grave. Ii k question as broad as humanity, and in it's just solu ! lion are bound mp inc hopes and interests of all the race, and to
 aik of changing the ratio and coiuing simply the American pro- sinct is to touch but border of the garment. It is to consider bnt small part If this enormous question winch must confront the people until it is settled aud set tied right.
 The foregoing, from A. J. Bry- ans great argument at Lincoln, Neb 2ith nit, will serve to show the impossibility ef ,he ideas of those who talk about change of ratin. There is but one ratio, and

Jack Tanners S 4 ddress.

Jack Tanner has issued an ad- lress to the victorious RepubIi- cans of Illinois.

Joe and Ike doubtless enjoy the situation in prospect. but to charge thehi with enjoying Il 70 the tnll" until they are in possession ot offices is to offer an insult to that character of stalwart Repnblicanism Tor which they gre justly famous.
 "Ouraswor< from beginning to end, says Jack, ''was dignIficd and uns efsh." Jack IS always dignfied, but he is as thorough q "spoilSman" as ever lived. The fact detracts nothing from hls manhood or patriotism. The Re- pahlic wants to see the Illinois Republicans come into full posses sion Of their conquest. Let them not be pharlsaical about it, Their campaign was a selfish one, IS al! campaigns have been and will be until poIitical parties cease to exist, and mugwumps and jelly fish are exalted.

stabbing ARRAY at the East End.

| From Thursdays Daily.
For some time there has exis'td bad
blood between young man by the name OF
Watson, who fornerly acted as waiter in
the hotel at the East End, and the proprie-
tor, Mr.. F. W. L. Skibbe. Yesterday
afternoon. about o'clock, 1t eliminated In
Watson being seriously stabbed by Skibbe.
There were several rumors rife about the
affair this morning, and reporter of the
TIMES. MoUNTAINEER called on Skibbe to
procure his version of the matter He ap
pe1red to be sorry that 1t occurred, but says
1t could not be helped under the circum-
stances. Soon after noon, he said, the
young man came to his kitchen and began
abusing his wife. He ordered him out of
the house, and quarrel ensued. Watson
struck at Skibbe several times, and in the
heat of passlen he (Skibbe) drew a pocket
knife and stabbed him two or three times
Another account of the encounter lis
given ny Mr.. Watson. He says he heard
that MIR. Skibbe wanted to see him, and
went to the hotel about o'clock, where he
founi Mrs. Skibbe in the kitchen. Talk
ing pleasantly with the lady, he told her
his errand, and inquired where Mr.. Skibbe
was. While engaged in conversation Mr.. |

twice with his fist, when he drew knife |
and Watson made for the back door, In |
making his exit Watson received thrus.
from the knife in the face, but did not |
know he was stabbed in any othe. portion
Of the body until some time afterwards.
HoIng to his room in the Cosmopolitan
Watson put his hand In his pocket for his
handkerchief to wipe the blood from his
ACE when he found his underclothing sat
lrated. Immediately disrobing, he found
blood gushing IN q constant stream from

Free Trade and Wool.

Mr. J. B. Cartwright, q son OF Hon. C.
NJ. Cartwright, the manager of the Bald
WIN Sheep and Land company, is in the
city. He says the company has about 20.
600 head of sheep in Crook county. The
expense Of shearing and placing wool in the
market in Eastern Oregon will be about
cents q pound, he calculates. not taking il
consideration herders wages, price Of pas
tnrage and other expenses necessary in car
ing for Aocks. The cost of the sheep, capi.
tai invested, contingency of hard winters
and storage of feeces In warehouses where
sales are not made, must be added to this
Taking these matters into account wool can
not be placed on the market for less than !
cents pound, and this 10 not counting in
tsrsst on investment, but simply the bare
expenses Of running sheep in Eastern Ore
gon. With these figures, 1t Is nonsense for
auy one to ssatend that sheep men 10 the
land Empire can pasture their herds,
shear their focks and sell the heeces a.
cheaply as ths Australian or Argentine wool
grower. There is only one possible effect Of
free trade in wool, and that is, it will driye
all capital now invested In that industry
into other lines of business. Mr.. Cart
wright says the company has made all ar.
rangements for the sheep industry, and il
they were forced to give up the business all
the appointments would be sold at great
loss. In the management of their hocks
they have made careful estimates, and do
not theorize in their figures, but arrive at
conclusions from many years Of practical
experience.

DUFUR Ore, Feb. 8. 1894.
Editor NKs-AoUNTknBEk:
terday afternoou just after the arrival
| of The Dall.s stage from WapInitls. whlle
the patrons of the pastotice were gathered
10 of the street discussing the political is
sues OF the day and listening to local states
men unrsveling the tangled mysteries of
the tariff. tall important looking stranger
came sauntering down the street. But little
attention was paid to the indiYidual, and,
were it not for subsequent events, it would
hardly been noticed that his front teeth
were peculiarly filled with gold, or that in
size and appearances he closely answered
the description of tho larger of the two
robbers who committed the robbery on Ben
Wilson some weeks ago. There are some
who claim that he acted in suspicious
manner when frss observed on the street.
Be it,ias it may. the strsngsr passed quietly
along TO the front of the drug store of q. P
Baloh, in whose window is a display OF
jewelrv, consisting of several watches,
chains, rings and chains, although not
such an assortment as would seem to tempt
daylight burglar. The glIttering dis
play caught the strangers eye, and he
stopped as though to examine. Across the
street. Immediately opposite the drug store
is the shoe shop of Mr.. Saudow, who was
at this moment sitting in front Of his win
dow, repairing pair of shoes. MIR. Balch
and hls clerk. Georgs Dafur. were ia the
drug store at the time and Mr.. Balch, see
iog the stranger examining the iswelry,
and. thinking Of prospective purchaser,
went toward the front door. A few sec
onds later the crowd at the postotice were
thrilled by a sound Of broken glass and z
shot, followed by a cry of alarm from the
shoemaker across the street. Balch was
standing on the sidewalk with blood in one
eye and motioning wildly across the street
to che shoe shop, where a struggle was go
NJ on. There the glass was broken cut of
the window, the store overturned and thc
brave little shoemaker srttiag on the pros
trate form Of the stranger. Mr.. Bslch soon
cams upon the scene and ia answer to the
Questions: "How much did he gss!" ''Rob
ysur safe?" "get any watches!" eto. Re
piled: "Rob be ID do you suppose I'd
knssk man clear through Sandow's win
dow for simple attempt to rob me! The
fellow did a great deal worse than that; he
proposed to put me on the slate for the
sheriff nomination agaIn this year." The
stranger WAS beyond recognition and is
gone. The shot was upacosuuted for. unless
it was the report as he shot scross the
strset. Two peculiar gold filled eeth are
among the jewelrv display described above,
and add greatly thereto. The moral of 1t
all is that Balch ls mot in the hsnds of his
friends this year." KENO.

Too Good to Keep.
Exchange.

A son of enc of eur prominent Metho
dist divines living in Chicago, tells th,
following amusing story:
Remembering the religious lesson of hi
youth he has taught his children te rever,
every thing pretaining to the Deity
He is extremely proud of his bright ans
pretty children who are 8, 8, Z, and g.
respectively. One evening short time
| ago, while busy in his study with some
of the affairs of the Orpheus club, OF
which he is president, he was annoyed by
as'amplng OF feet on the floor of the
nursery overhead He knew the chill
dren we're making the no;se. and more
out of curiosity than anything else, he
stepped quietly up stairs to see what was
going on.
What he saw and heard almost turned
his hair white.
In the middle Of the flosr, with c. asped
hands forming circle, were his four chill
dren. With their feet they we're keeping
time, and IN astonishing good voice they
were singing to the tune of Boem-ta. rs
the following words:
Now lay me down to sleep,
1 pray the Lerd my soul to keep;
If should die before I wake,
I pray the Lord nay soul to take.
Boem-ta>rs-ra, boom decay,
Beom-ta-ra-rs, boom de-ay." etc.
The scene was too much for him. He
shipped back to his study, and calling bis
wife said: II have taken extraordinary
pains In the religious training of our lit
tie ones, but I resign the position hence

Eiitor TMls.MoUSrAINERR:

Eiitor TMls.MoUNrAISRHR:
A clipping from your issue of February
l, 1894, has been sent me in which the fol-
lowing language is used: "Mr. Jos N.
Teal is reported to have stated that he had
lately visited Baker county. and majority
of sheep raisers were in favor Of free trade
ID wool. and based on this alleged state
ment long editorial is written to prove

seek any kind Of notoriety, political or

should be reported correctly. l did not
make at any time or any place the state
ment above quoted, or anything like it.

wool men who do not believe that the tariff
affects the price of wool. except desriment-
ally, and herewith enclose you clipping

OF sheep men fsvor high tariff. but with

The sheep man is no worse off than the
armer, the farmer than the mechanic, the
Mechanic than the merchant. Everything
md every body is in the same condition, and
will be, in my Judgment, until the constant
'iolation of the simplest, economic truths
