espccally the property and persons of Americans
engaged in missionary work in Armenia. and, third-
ly to urge Russia and other European governments
to protect the Armenans
The doctor then introduced Colonel Bacon OF
BROOKLYN who said in part: while the Powers Of
Europe have been waiting to decide upon what &C.
ton to take toward protecting Christians in Turkey
the Armcnlans have been butchercd The TURK IS
a Tartar and Tartar is a brute. Turks are DruteS
and are bad"
Colonel Bacon went on to say that there were
two classes in England, the commercial England
and Christian England. IF commercial England
added the speaker would act with Christian Eng
land the hatchery of Christians in Turkey would
soon come 10 an end"
General Woodford said that the Turkish Govern

which fell more heavily the Christians than any
other class; that whenever the CHRISTIANS com

What the Gold Standard Does For tho
WOrkiugman.


"What will the gold standard do for
the workingman?" asks the editor Of an
alleged labor paper. The answer is easy.
1t will continue to do just what it has
been doing whenever adopted. It will
furnish him with standard of values
which makes it certain that his wages
will not fall through decline in their
purchasing power. 1t will enable him
to buy more goods of all kinds than if
he received cheaper money. 1t will guar
antee him against being paid in a de-
preciated Or huctuating currency. Tt
will make his deposits in the savings
bank worth as much year or five years
hence as they are now.
By giving business stable financial
basis it will enable his employers to
run their business steadily, thus insur-
ing him against Joss Of work through
the unsettlement Of industry, which
would exist under the silver standard.
1t will help extend our foreign trade by
keeping our commerce on the same ba-
sis as that of the leading nations Of tho
world, and thus aid in making markets
for his surplus products. 1t will serve
his best interests by encouraging the
accumulation of capital and its invest
ment in productive industry and so add
ing to the demand for labor. 1t will
create common interest between all
countries having the same standard,
and thus tend to diminish the national
jealousies and wars which in the long
run injure most the worlsingman. 1t
will give him the standard of values
used by all the highest wage paying
countries of the earth, instead Of that
used by the Chinese, Hindoos and Mex
leans. These are some of the things
which the gold standard will do for the
workingman. Will the 80 cent dollars

logs secured. The capacity Of the mill is
about thirty-fve thousand feet a day and
it will employ fifteen men.
A prominent logger estimates the
amount OF logs now in the Chehalis river
and its tributaries at fifty-seven million
feet.
Settlers are preparing for logging on
the river, and will commence as soon rs
the boom is complete at tide water. Some
little delay was caused by settlers IN re-
gard to the boom site, but it was settled
in the courts at South Bend last week.

ALL DEBTORS NC,y DISHONEST.
Free Silver Means That Creditors Are to
Lose so Per Cent.

Free Silver Means That Creditors Are to
Lose so Per Cent.
Is the proposition for free silver at
l6 to /" expedient and honest?
Stripped Of verbiage, the proposition
is for this government to embark in the
immediate and unlimited coinage Of sill
yer dollars, each dollar to contain ap-
proximately 80 cents worth Of silver
bullion; to discard all provisions for
guaranteeing the concurrent circulation
and parity Of gold and silver, and to
compel by law the acceptance of the
new dollars in payment OF all debts.
The object is to reduce the value of
the dollar about one-half, and by fore
ing creditors to take this dollar for debts
to scale all existing obligations. The
only exception will be where the shrewd
creditor has stipulated for payment in
gold. Such creditor will be paid in full,
but the unsuspecting man Or woman
who has merely trusted to the honor Of
the nation is to be "done up" just in
proportion as the dollar is scaled.
The Populists arc solid for this
scheme. It's in their line of business.
They are opposed to a dollar having any
intrinsic value, but if they must have a
dollar worth anything at all the less it
is worth thu better it suits them. Very
few Republicans take any stock i'll the
scheme and tive more it is studied the
sooner it viii be dropped by all think
ing men,
The agitato:s assume, because Kansas
people are in debt, that every Kansas
man ought to join in the clalnor for
such dollars. deny that it is the duty
of any man, because he lives in Kansas
and is in debt, tn favor scheme which
his conscience tells him is wrong.

questions believe in bimetallism and
in the use Of the largest volume Of sill

for the purpose of robbing creditors.
If these agitators simply wanted to
cheaper the dollars for use in future
business transactions, they would advo-
cate law making the new dollars legal
tender for future debts only. But that's
not what they want They insist that
these new cheap dollars must be made
legal tender for all debts
am opposed to that because it is dis
honest. If anybody can prove that it is
honest, will be glad to be for it. But
he must prove it by some better argu
ment than the threadbare assertion that
