MINORITY REPORT.
Following is the minority report, which
was defeated by vote Of IoS to I2o:
We, minority Of your committee on plat
form save and except the section on finance,
for which we submit the following as a sub.
stitute.
Resolved, That we favor the use Of both
gold and silver to the extent which they can
be maintained in circulation at parity in pur.
chasing and debt paying power; but we are
earnestly opposed to the free and unlimited
coinage Of silver at the ratio Of 10 to I for the
reason that il would destroy such parity
enormously contract the volume Of currency
by forcing gold out OF circulation and imme
diately place the country on a silver basis.
Believing that the effect Of International
demonetization of silver can be overcome
only by international reconciliation Of that
metal, the Republican party OF Oregon most
earnestly favor such measures as will accom-.
plish that purpose.

The School of Politics. 1"

Mr.. Ernest Hofer, formerly of Iowa
but now the editor of the Salem (Ore-
gon) Capital Journal, has just issued
through Charles ii. Kerr & Co, SO
Fifth Avenue, Chicago, Ills, u neatly
printed pamphlet Of 10 pages-prlce
% cents--"The School OF Politics
The American Primary System" Mr..
Hofer predlcates his book on the
sound maxim. "In the perfected
nominating primary every member
"of every party should have a direct
vote In the choice OF every candidate
"whose name appears on the ticket of
"hls party" He treats the subject
freely, but In one italiclsed sentence
he thus correctly portrays the ignom-
iny and results OF packed party eau
cuses and primaries. "The corrupted
primary Is the political crime OF the
century" IL the source OF party
or Il government is corrupt, that cor
ruptlon extends through every branch
and detail of that party or govern
ment. The object OF those who join
In packing caucuses and primaries Is
spolls, aud the spolls will be gained as
certainly us the packed methods gain
the victory and the power TO accom-
pllsh their purposes.
Mr.. Hofef treats the subject under
three general phases. "The Primary
"and Spoils Politics. How Primaries
"are Conducted. The Primary As IL
"Should be Safeguarded by Law"
lie has examined the laws regulating
primaries In the several states that
have attempted legislation on that
line, and reaches the conclusion that
1.-THE few laws enacted for that pur-
pose so far have been drawn up more
ITO protect the managers OF political
machines than TO protect the people. -
lie concludes that the only remedy is
a demand on the part of the voters for
the right 90 voice In the govern
ment OF parties, and also OF schools.
and that "the instinct of self-preser.
walton against corruption must be
"crystallized into a national primary
law as carefully Afeguarded ms the
general election laws" 1t is possible
that that may be the only permanent
remedy, but II the states wait for a
national low the remedy will never be |
gained Every state should have an
honest primary election law, and an |
states viii have as soon as their neo.
pie realize that honest primaries are
the chief source OF their own power

THE WORST on RECORD.

The total number Of business fail
ures in the United States during the
past three months is 4,512, by coincl-
dence exactly 100 more than in the
like quarter last year, an increase Of
almost one-fifth. The only preceding
quarter In which the total number Of
failures was as large as 1000 was in
1885, Immediately following the panic
Of 1884, when the total was 1850. In
no like quarter before or since has the
number of failures been as large as in
the past three months, altough in the
first quarter Of 1894 there were nearly
four thousand business failures re-
ported-3, ,969-compared with which
the increase during the past quarter
Is about one-ninth.
