A writer in the Lancaster. Wiscon-

Editor TINES s-MoUNTAINEER:
l am glad that you took occasion to
call attention to the telegram
from this city to the Oregonian, about
the Tillman and Schoonmaker speeches
and the relative size of the audience
at each. Mr.. Tillman began early,
while the McKinleyites were parading,
and finished before Mr.. Schoonmaker
was half through. l was one of 1.-The
Tillman crowd" who after standing an
hour and half at that meeting, at
tended the "Sunoay School Conven-
tion" at the opera house, and after see-
ing both was pleased to see that report
in the 'Oregonian. 1t gave me COM
fort. If the reports printed in the Ore
gonian from other sections of the state
bear only so per cent. of the "stamp of
Annanias" as compared with it, Ore
gon is safe for Bryan by 5000 majority.

FARMER U'REN.
He Delivered a Telling Address for Bryan
in The DaIirs

In The DaiirS.
Last Saturday evening W. 8. q 'Reu,
OF Oregon City. addressed 4 fair sized
audience in the Baldwin opera house.
Mr.. Q Rem is Il farmer, and is one who
presents facts and figures in such II
plain, convincing manner that his
utterances have weight with his hear
ers. He is an ardent advocate of di-
| rect legislation and devoted the first
portion of his address to the theory of
initiative and referendum, then took
up the main issues of The present cam.
paign. the tariff and money questions.
He has been Il life long republican,
hence. is a radical ntectinnist, but
holds that the tariff. as heretofore
scheduled. has not afforded protection
20 the masses. but has rather worked
in the interest of the classes. As the
best methods to be adopted for the pro-
lection of American Industries and
American labor, the speaker showed
beyond contradiction that an Amer
lean system of finances would be more
effectual than the highest tariff that
could possibly be enacted. The speaker
illustrated the absurdity of interna-
tional agreement to establish BIZ
metallic monetary system in order to
maintain anything like parity be-
tween gold and silver. unless the United
States wrr, able to m intain the same
Independently. This government he
showed required S14,G00.000 daily to
pay its wages, while the countries
with which international agreement
was sought rrqulr ID bit Sll,000,G0O,
therefore we were the more powerful
since we required more money to pay
our wage earners, and were therefore
ahle to sustain an independent mon
etary system.
The speaker submitted number of
republican authorities. including Mr..
Mckinley and Harper's Weekly. to
show that the free coinage of silver
would increase the price OF farm pro-
ducts and the wages of labor. then
followed up with an und sputable line
of reasoning provi ~ that this would
be beneficial to all classes. Mr.. y Rem
made forcihle demonstration of how
the free coinage of silver would effect
the wage-earner benefcially. At pres
ent. under the operations of the gold
standard. labor is not employed and
there are numerous applicants for
every position. BY free coinage agri-
cultural. mining and numbering indus
tries would be encouraged, hence labor
would be employed in these industries,
reducing the nun Der of applicants for
places on railroads. In stores and fac
tories, thus making the ones now en-
plOyed in such vocations more certain
of holding their places at present sal
aries. than if there were greater com
petition.
In conclusion Mr.. U'Ren paid
handsome tribute to Bryan and urged
all liberty loving true Americans to
rally to his support. Throughout his
speech was replete with uncontrover-
table argument, and was one of the
ablest and most convincing addresses
that has been delivered in The Dalles
during the present campaign.

THE FAIR CLOSED.
The Last Day Was One OF the Best OF ths

The Last Day Was One of the Best OF the
Season.
The eighth annual meeting of the
Second Eastern Oregon District Agri
cultural Association closed last Satur-
day. and the meeting was indeed a
successful one.
At the grounds Saturday there was a
parade OF the stock on exhibition, after
the jndges had awarded the different
premiums. The afternoon was given
up almost wholly to racing and dem
otees of the track were afforded
splendid amusement.
The pacing race, mile heats. between
Nellie Whipple and Solo. was very
interesting. The mare took the first
heat and Solo the two last; time, 2:36.
2:55, 2:55.
In the running race, half mile dash,
there were three starters, Lark, Pat
Tucker and Blue Jay The horses
were evenly matched and made pretty
race. Tucker came under the wire
first, Blue Jay second and Lark third;
time, 81.
The last race, the three-quarter
handicap, however, was the most iu
teresting of the day. Tom Clark,
Baby Ruth. General Coxey and Col
T, were brought onto the track. but
Tom Clark Was left at the poll when
the others were tapped off. Coxey
went to the front and staid there to
the finish with Ruth and Col. T close
behind, making the race in l:2l4.
The exercises at the Pavilion were
OF the usual order, a fair-sized crowd
being in attendance, and thus closed a
very successful meeting of the associa-
ton.

A Saloon Rurglarized.

Last Sunday morning thieves broke
in to MaetZ & Pundt's saloon on the
corner of First and Court streets, anG
carried away all the money in the till,
$3.50. Mr.. Maetz closed the house
about 4 o'clock, and sometime
between that hour and daylight
thieves broke through the rear
door of the building by removing
two pannels. When once inside they
had no trouble getting into the till and
carrying away the change unobserved.

house was disturbed 1t is supposed
