THAT TRUST.

IueTS III buO uPp0i poit VI tIo pol
ish have been holding meetings,
and passing resolutions regarding
a certain trust or combine enter
ed into by the Oil Works at this
place and the ginneries of that
part of the parish.
The farmers claim that this
combine is a direct blow against
their interest, and shows a desert
mination against the planter in
favor of the ginners.
The planters say the Oil Works
have agreed to pay the planters "a
per ton of seed and S. to the GIN
ners, which would force the plan
ter to lose one dollar on his pro-
duct, which amount would either
be made by the Oil Works or by
the ginneries, upon the labor of
the farmer.
If the above is correct it is GER
tainly a combine discriminating
against the planter, because if the
Oil Works can pay S. for seed to
the ginneries, they can and ought
to pay as much to the planter or
any body who brought seed to
them if the quality is the same,
there should be no discrimination.
We submitted the above to the
officers of the st. Martins Oil
Works, and have received the fol-
lowing:
In view of the fact that there
seems to be a misunderstanding
as to the position of the st. Mar
tins Oil Works, Ltd, as far as
the buying of the cotton and cot
ton seed in this parish is concern
ed. We wish in order to rectify
any seeming harm that may have
been caused by us, and at the
same time to prevent injustice be-
ing done us by any misapprehen-
sion of existing facts; we wish to
make the following statement:
AS far as the alleged trust with
the ginners in this parish is con.
cerned, we wish now to deny that
any understanding, combination
agreement or arrangement what.
soever was ever arrived at; and in
order to better explain the object
of the gentlemen who visited the
mill, we will state in previous
years the price of cotton in St
Martinville was $l,OO higher than
in the upper part of the parish
The ginners in that section were
of the opinion that in paying the
cotton in st. Martinville higher
than they did they would be pla.
ced at a disadvantage, hence theil
visit here.
The gentlemen made the above
statement to the President of the
mill, and he answered in these
words; 1--WE will pay here the
cotton on the same basis as in for
mer years, doing justice to thu
planter and to ourselves. We viii
, be glad to see you pay as much il
the upper part of the parish as w
do here, and 1 will say furthe1
that upon the receipt of the mar
ket price in New Orleans, 1 vii
let you know the quotations,
which was accordingly done.

above, well, make the most of it.

STILL PULLING WOOL.

| Well tell you when the big wooler
mills will run: when Mckinley j.
elected Salem Statesman.
This is a threat of the bankers or
gan, that unless Mckinley is elected
the wooden mills will never run. 1t is
on par with the offer Of Salem wool
buyer to pay 12c. a pound for the 1897
wool clip if Mckinley is elected. 1t
is saying: "Stand and deliyer-yOur
vote" On the same principle the
woolen mills could hang out a sign:
"Your wages will be doubled if Nc
Kinley is elected" OF course, they
will not do that.
All this is fraud, rot, clear effort
to bribe the voter. THE JOURNAL
labored hard to raise the S25, 900 sub
sldy for the "big woolen MILL" and
feels proud of it. But that woolen
mill is not idle on account of the tar
iff. 1t ran for two years day and
night under the Wilson tariff bill,
during the hardest panic times this
country has ever known. The AL
blny, Ashland, Oregon City and other
woolen mills on the coast are running
day and night at present. The threat
TO not operate the Salem woolen mills
l1til Mckinley is elected comes with
poor grace, even as campaign argu-
meat. or course, 1t Is entirely gratu-
tous on the part OF the Statesman.

BRYAN NO DoDGER

Bryan says: "If you want the g0lC
standard don't vote for me. ] viii
open the mints TO free coinage Of golC
and silver at the present ratio as sure
as / am elected and take my oath OF
Office as president on the 4th OF
March, 1897. 1 will make an open
road from the mines Of our precious
metals to the mints of our govern
ment and take no gold or silver at
second hand"
The goldbug who don't know that
gold and silver are the precious money
metals Of the entire world, can't see
the merit of plain mans statement.
They want verdict Of our people
for the gold standard, which would
say: Float 81, 800, ,0OO,OO to two thou
sand millions currency on 100000, 900
gold reserve. As soon as the Ameri-
can people put their foot into that
trap, up will go the cry, "cancel the
greenback, withdraw the treasury
notes, wipe out the silver certificate,
use silver as change only, there is no
real money but gold!"
A verdict of the American people
for the gold standard will mean issue
$500, ,000, 900 to one hundred thousand
of gold bonds to buy gold to float our
silver and paper money. VIII that
make money plenty, or gold scarce.
VIII that enable the farmer to get
better prices for his products, with
which lie has to buy gold? VIII he
be better able to pay his interest?
Will you vote away the legal tender
standard dollar as primary money? 1t
now circulates at par If there isn't a
dollar of gold in sight, and it always
will unless you strike it down. 1t is
bullion In other countries. 1t is a
dollar here.
Mr.. Bryan is no dodger No Ameri-
can citizen should be dodger. You
can't dodge this question. If you
want the gold standard vote for Nc
Klnley. If majority of the people
OF Oregon believe that is good thing
the electoral vote of Oregon should 60
to Mckinley. If not, 1t should go to
Bryan and independent American
bimetallism.

MR.. MILLER's ARGUMENT.

Now, says Mr.. Farmer Miller: "they
have yielded to the same gold stand
ard power that caused Hayes to veto
it, and the same power has forced the
Republican party to swallow the
single gold standard platform of 1896
This bill was passed over the veto by
Democrats and became a law, and
every dollar coined under that act by
Republicans was compulsory, and Mr.
Ford knows it, and he knows further
that in 1890, as soon Mr.. Harrison got
In power, this law was repealed by
Republican votes. The substitute for
that bill was the infamous John Sher-
man act that paved the way to the
issuing of 1852, ,OOO,OO of bonds under
Cleveland's administration. 1t auth
orized the purchase of $4,500,000 of
silver and the issuing of coin certifi-
Gates and the coming of as much of
the silver as was necessary to redeem the
certificates, and if the law had been
enforced would have placed them on
a par with the silver certificates is
sued under the Bland act. But to
prove that the intention was to de-
grade silver they refused to coin 1t
under the law passed at the time, and
here established the policy of redeem
ing them in gold and robbed the treas
ury and taxed the people for two years
and was preparing to issue bonds for
the same purpose that Cleveland was
forced to do afterwards, who only
carried out the policy Of the Republi-
can party, and this redemption in
gold by Carlisle, contrary to and in
open violation of the law, that Mr.
Ford SO readily condemned, was estab-
lished by the Republicans. 1t is the
footprints of John Sherman, who
when he saw that a free coinage
bill was likely to pass and become a
law and a ful! legal tender, introduced
and with the Republican vote had the
clause inserted unless otherwise speci-
fled in the contract. This was to de.
grade silver in the interest of the
money power"

Farmer Miller's dissection of Mr..
Lawyer Ford.

FARMER REPLIES TO FORD


Chas Miller Sr.. has been dissect-
Ing Hon. Tilman Ford's campaign
argument at Jefferson in the local
paper there. Lawyer Ford spoke in
the interest of Mckinley and the
gold standard
lie made the usual speech Un the
Wilson and Mckinley bill. Mr.. Miller
showed they were so near alike that
Cleveland refused to sign and approve
the former because he could not dis
tinguish any difference between them.
Mr.. Ford defended the gold stand
ard platform and claimed all the pres
tige of the silver coinage under the
Bland Act of 1878 aud the coinage
under the same while the Republicans
were in power, ahd proved by their
acts that they were bimetallic party.
Mr.. Miller shows that Mr.. Ford
knew "that every dollar that was
coined by his party was compulsory:
he knows that the Bland bill that
was in force for II years, and under
which there was coined 1887 ZOO, 900,
was vetoed by President Hayes, and
IA Republicans of the house changed |
their former votes and sustained the
Veto"

Trees for AIbor Day.
The school board of trustees had a
busy session last evening, though in
the main the business was purely of a
perfunctory order. Professor Staple
ton was authorized to secure trees
such as he needed for the observance
of Arbor day from A NJ. Scott He
was also empowered to have full
charge of the commencement exer-
cises, and make all necessary arrange
ments.
The supply committee was ordered
to purchase a flag for the Prescott

for use on Decoration day.
committee consisting of Trustees
Tuttle, Twohy and Stephens was in
structed to purchase five lots in East
Fourth street in the Eastern addition,
for a school house site.
Superintendent Stapleton reported
the enrolment for last month was 1868
and the average attendance was $780,
The primary department of Lincoln
school is overcrowded and double ses-
sions are being held there to accommo-
date the children of the neighborhood
DR.. stephens moved and DIR. McKen-
zie seconded IL, to raise the salary of
the clerk of the board to $780, The
work is almost equal to that in Butte
where the clerk receives $l25 per
month, is equal to that of Great Falls,
where the salary is $745 per year. The
board endorsed the motion. The pay
heretofore, has been $500 and about
500 for taking the school census. The
raise was a recognition of Clerk Ken
nedy's faithful service which the trus-
tees evidently appreciate.
The usual bills were audited and the
board then adjourned.
