Campaign Notes.

The forces are at work. Orato-
ry is in the air.
The officers of the Benton coun-
ty Mckinley club are at work.
They promise that the campaign
will be the liveliest Benton county
has ever seen. Announcements
will probably be made next week.
The Bryan and Watson followers
are to organize tonight. Several
democrats are expected to be pres
ent and help the populists declare
that fifty cents make one dollar.
The populist folks intend to
have Reverend Barkley, Marion
county's preacher politician, follow
Senator Mitchell around the state.
Right on Barkley's path, and bat
tling for Mckinley, will appear that
old Oregonian Methodist divine, |.
ID. Driver. Driver is state senator
elect from Lane county and is as
vigorous, forcible and eloquent
as he was in the days Of Oregon's
early statehood.
They had an election back in
Vermont, Tuesday, and the repub-
licans elected their ticket by the
largest majority in the states his
tory. While the party of protec-
ltion and honest money expected
to carry the state, even the most
enthusiastic republicans were
agreeably surprised at the result
$4,000 majority. This bit OF news
must have a depressing effect upon
the populist campaign.
The Bryan combination in Ore
gon is not yet satisfied with the
fusion electoral ticket, As it now
is arranged 1t includes two popu-
lists, a Bryan democrat and the
political acrobat, Col. Hotter. 1t is
supposed to favor Watson for vice
president, but the populist masses
lput no faith in the promises of the
democrat and the acrobat. They
want straight-out populist electors
and know that if they insist, they
can get them.
Tomorrow (Friday) night Hon.
L. L. Geer, often spoken of as the
sfarmer eloquent" "and as the "tall
sycamore of Waldo hills" will ad.
Idress the citizens of Benton coun-
ty on behalf of stable government
The meeting will be held at the
court house. Mr.. Geer's addresses
are embellished with dry humol
that together with his keen sar.
casm and logical reasoning makes
him an orator worth listening to.

THE PREDOMINANT ISSUE.

The Chicago platform is but
the expression of the spirit of un-
rest. Irapatience is its guiding
thought. Resistance to legal au-
thority breathes out from every
plank. Free silver is not ad-
vanced as a philosophical remedy
but as a protest against the inevl-
table operation of natural law.
Thousands of citizens, who are
advocates of free coinage of sill
yer, cannot endorse it as the war
cry of sectionalism; as the badge
of thinly veiled anarchy.
The free silver banner has been
siezed by the apostles of unre-
straint, and behind that ensign
are being mustered the enemies
of society-the foes of govern
ment. The financial question
has not superseded the tariff is
sue, but both have been over
shadowed by the larger, more vi
tai question of governmental
stability. 1t is not a mere fnan-
cial theory that has effaced party
lines and silenced party issues.
A question of vaster moment en-
cages the attention, and the spirit
that prompted our forefathers to
fight for American independence,
the wisdom that guided the lay
ing of the foundation of mighty
nation of free people-that spirit
and that wisdom calls us to de-
fend our nation from the goths
and vandals, springing up in our
very midst.
Free silver as a mere financial
theory, whether we believe with
its advocates, that it would raise
prices and ensure prosperity, OF
whether we realize with its op-
ponents that it would result in a
deprecated currency with result
ant contraction and panic, does
not in itself call forth this inn
pending stupendous struggle and
obliteration of party lines. But
free silver as the common rally
ing ground of lawlessness, with
accompanying denunciations OF
government and order, arrays
against it the active patriotism OF
intelligent American citizenship.

I have an ice cream freezer that will freeze
cream perfectly in one minute; as it is such
wonder crowd will always be around, so
anyone can make from five to six dollars
day selling cream, and from ten to twenty
dollars day selling freezers, as people will

The cream is frozen instantly and is smooth
and free from Jumps. I have done so we'll

JUDGE BURNETT in the Times
has a column on the money ques-
ton. His first sentence "the ag.
gregate of all the money in the
United States is the true meas
ure of normal values of commo.
dities here" is surprisingly incor-
rect. The price of wheat, the
chief product of our farms, is
based on the Liverpool prices, as
all farmers and wheat dealers
know. Again the judge says:
"Under the law of 1873 we coin
ed two millions of silver dollars
every month for twelve years
until 18oo-and gold was never
so plenty, nor the people SO pros
porous; the treasury of the Uni
ted States was bursting with both
gold and silver to such an extent
that the surplus of hundred and
fifty millions of dollars was used
by this government to buy its
own bonds at a premium of thirty
per cent - Exactly so. The re-
publican policy, as the judge i'm
plies, is the policy of prosperity.
That law of 1873 was nota a free
silver law and has never been
repealed. The republican party
is satisfied to return to that sys
tenn whose results Judge Burnett
so we'll pictures. Bryan advo.
Gates the repeal of the law Of
1873, and proposes to adopt silver

argument is: "We should return
