END OF THE WORLD.
Prophets Keep Cropping Up in Spite
Of lnnumerabIe Failures.

of lnnumerable Failures.
1t is most remarkable book that
has Just been issued from the little
town of Vichy, France, and of which
a single copy, so far as known, has
made its way to this country It's
author is Able Dupin, cure OF the
village of Dion, and he declares that
he has discovered indubitable evil
dence of the approaching end of all
things, says the Philadelphia Press.
The great coup" as he calls it,
will, he assures us, take place in
all probability September 10 or 20 Of
this year, cetainly before the close
of 1899.
What makes this statement so ex-
traordinary is the fact that the au-
thor declares that his work is issued
with the sanction Of the Catholic
authorities. He Gisclaims any at
tempt to inculcate any except ortho-
dox doctrine
The title of the book is curious,
and reminds one Of the first pages of
some Elizabethan romance. Here is
part of it:
1.-THE grand coup, or universal
cataclysm, will ravage the world be-
tween the 10th and 21st of Septem-
Der, 1896, as foretold in Scriptures.
The prophecies of the Old and New
Testament compare with those of
the Father and with the secrets Of
La Selette, in which are foretold the
great war which will DESTROY nine
tenths of the human race, the COM
ing of Anti-Christ and his reign,
after which the church will triumph
over her enemies and the reign Of
Christ begin on earth.
The book is divided into two parts.
In the first the author foretells the
events which are about to occur, in
Guiding the devastation of the world
by wars, earthquakes and plaques,
the birth of anti-Christ, whose
mother, he says, is already here,
and terrible cataclysm, the nature
of which is vague, which will leave
few human beings alive. All this,
ne declares, he has found, on unim-
peachable authority, to be due to oc-
cur at the time he states.
The second part contains his rea-
sons for selecting the time he
specifies. 1t consists of number of
elaborate calculations of the kind with
which readers of similar prophecies
are familiar. Some of the coin
cidences he mentions are curious,
but people will not alarm themselves
to any great extent by his warn
ings.
The chief interest of the book lies
in the position of its writer. The
prophet is ever with US, and regular
ly has predicted the end of all things
for nearly every year for the last
800 Rev" Mr.. Baxter created
quite a sensation in England few
years ago by assuring his hearers
that they might expect the end of
the world in 1887. That year went
by and nothing particular happened,
and the prophet then shifted his date
a year or two forward He is prob
ably at the same game and finds
fresh stock of believers every year,
who are foolish enough to credit him
and incidentally support him and his
family.
But the French abbe's book is of
a different character Rome has
discouraged any visions of this kind
in her priests, knowing that what
ever temporary effect they may
have is soon destroyed when the
futility Of the prophecy is discovered.
The able is doubtless claiming more
authority than he has.

INDIANAPOLIS, Sept. 3.-Thc newly
organized gold-standard or national
democratic party of the United States
today nominated Senator John NJ.
Palmer, of Illinois, to carry the stand
ard as its nominee for the Office OF
president.
Senator Palmer was nominated upon
the first ballot, receiving 1914 votes OF
a total of 9S3. He was then declared
the nominee of the convention by
acclamation.
When the roll-call of states was made
for nominations for president, all
names were withdrawn except those of
General Bragg, of Wisconsin, and
Senator Palmer. of Illinois.
AS soon as the result was announced,
General Bragg leapt upon chair and
led the wild cheers for Palmer which
lasted for several minutes. When the
demonstration had partially subsidized,
General Bragg made a motion to the
effect that Senator Palmer be declared
the nominee by acclamation, which
was carried witch whoop.
The roll-call of states was then
ordered for nominations for vice-presi-
dent. Browder, of Kentucky, took
the platform and presented the name
of General Buckner. A wild demon
stration followed, at the close of which
General Buckner was nominated by
acclamatiou.
The convention then adjourned sine

TARIFF is DEAD.

Major McKinley's bold tackling OF
the money question makes more deli
cate than ever the position Of those far
Western republican trimmers who af-
feet to see no issne other than the tariff
in this campaign. When the daddy of
high protection virtually acknowledges
that it is of secondary Importance, his
followers cannot gracefully make a
speciality of Portland Telegram.
The Telegram evidently speaks
authoritatiyely, for it is under repub-
iican management and to all intents
and purposes is republican paper, so
when it says anything concerning the
policies of that party we can rest as
assured that its expressions are COM
ing from the fountain head. If then the
money question is to supercede the
tariff as an issue, how are the Oregon
wool growers, who are clamoring for
protection, going to reconcile them
selves with Mr.. Mckinley? Can they
expect any more favors at his hands
than they can from Mr.. Bryan? The
platform on which Mr. Bryan is rum
ming declares for revenue tariff, and
since a revision of schedules are
necessary in order to create more
revenve, is it not likely wool will re-
ceiye more consideration from him and
a congress in harmony with his views,
than from a republican congress and

This table coming from such high
republican authority will hardly be
denied by the most ardent gold advo-
cate; and if it is based on facts, it
proves beyond question the contention
of the free silver advocate, that the
price of farm products has steadily de-
clined and kept pace with the price of
silver, since the contraction of cur
rency by the act of 1873. In further
substantlation of this position, Mr..
Estee, in his San Jose speech, on
August Is, 1895, after reading the
above table, said:
"Money has thus become more and
more powerful as wealth is more and
more concentrated. The growth of
corporations and monometalism has
silently advanced together. A single
gold standard tends to concentrate
money in the hands of the few. The
only hope is for the people to speak.
n n The American people are just,
and when aroused will be loyal to
truth by making the money Of our con.
stitution the money of our people; and
this can be accomplished only by the
free and unlimited coinage of both
gold and silver"
What higher authority is needed to
prove. that the people have not been bet
tered by the adoption of the gold stan
dard land that they we're in better con-
dition when we had system of bimet-
alism prior to the act of 1873? Estee
shows that two of the leading farm pro-
ducts have graduallyfallen as the price
of silver went down, or the price of gold
went nm

REPUBLICAN AUTHORITY.

Hon. NJ. NJ. Estee is making vigor-
Gus campaign for the republican
national ticket in California, and is
submitting some "sledge hammer"
arguments to prove that the gold
standard is just the right thing to
create prosperity, maintain high prices
for farm products and restore business
confidence throughout the nation. In
q speech delivered ut San Francisco a
few days ago Mr.. Estee said many
things in an attempt to prove that the
free coinage of silver at this time
would not have the tendency to raise
the price of the products of the farm
or of labor, and undertook to show that
labor and farm products are higher
now, so far as purchasing power is
concerned. than ever before in the
history of the country.
Little more than q year ago, Mr..
Estee was of q decidedly different
opinion, for at San Jose, on Aug. l5,
of last year, he made speech before
the farmers and business men at the
Normal school hall, when he SUBJ
mitted the following table to prove
that the price of products and the
price of labor depended upon the price
of silver:

Il DISGRACE TO EUKoPE.

Surrounded by Christian and sup
posed civilized nations, the Turks have
been permitted for the past two years
to wage q most cruel religious war
against the defenseless Armenians.
Hundreds of thousands of innocent
beings have been tortured, put to the
sword, burned, shot and murdered by
all the horrible methods known to the
"dark ages" while "ciyilized" Eorope
has looked on, and of course interposed
a mild protest, but nothing more.
How much longer will this be permit
teds How long will the "civilized"
nations of Europe allow the Turks to
continue this slaughter? England,
Germany, France and Russia are heap
ing Disgrace upon themselves every
day they permit this state of affairs to
exist. If the people of those nations
pretend to be Christians, humanity
would demand that they put stop to
the slaughter at once. Turkey, and in.
fact all the powers of Europe had
better be annihilated than permit such
cruelties to longer exist. Any one of
the leading powers OF Europe could
easily put stop to the slaughter were
it not afraid of the Interference of
some other power, but the time has
come when jealousies between nations
should be laid aside for justice and hu-
manity. If the powers OF Europe can
not determine upon combined action
to stop the murders, some one of them
should hazard incurring the displeas-
ure of all others by interfering indi-
yidually.

Of 1o7 .sse .s37 barrels. In 1866 we were

of 107 1856, 1897 barrels. In 1866 we were
on greenback basis; now we are on
the gold standard.
Our public debt in 1866 was 81. 1885,
100000. If the debt had been con-
tracted to be paid in wheat it would
have taken just 1907, 100000 bushels.

owed in 1890, 81, 1894, ,6SS which
would take to cancel the debt in wheat
,95S, 1886, 1884 bushels. This is due to
the lowering of prices caused by con-
traction of the volume of money, the
retirement of greenbacks and the de-
monetization of silver. These are
figures for the farmers and the pro-
ducers generally, to carefully consider
and closely study. as all their products
have fallen in corresponding ratio.
The only thing that has appreciated
for 20 years is gold. If Mckinley is
elected in November gold will con-
tinue to appreciate in purchasing
power and the fruits of labor and in
dus:ry will be completely absorbed by
money loaners and banks, who have
q complete corner on gold all over the
world. The election of Bryan will
save the people.

d FINANCIAL PUZZLE.

Republicans insist that the gold re.
serve must be maintained; At the
same time they denounoe President
Cleveland for issuing bonds to main
tain it and denounce Bryan for pro-
posing to redeem the treasury notes
and ereenbacks and other coin obli-
cations in silver.
Will some able republican fnancier
tell the people how the gold reserve is
to be maintained under our present
financial system without selling honds
to buy gold or redeeming treasury
notes and greenbacks in silver?
No republican has limited to what
device a republican administration
would resort to keep the endless chain
rom doing it's work on the gold reserve
whenever Wall street wanted to make
q raid, without taking Mr.. Cleveland's
way or Mr.. Bryan's way, both of which
the republicans have condemned.
Senator Sherman, the great republic
can fnancier, has carefully avoided
the question. Bourke Cochran dld not,
touch it in his speech. "rom" Reed.
with his usual sagacity, walked around
il, and Senator Foraker, with all his
ignorance of the money question, was
wise enough to keep away from this
pitfall.
The republic yearns so to learn the
republican plan of handling the situa-
tion that it will offer prize--a fine
picture of Mark Hanna, framed in gilt,

statesman who will solve the puzzle

bers that he was challenged in vain in
1892 to cite one instance in which the
wages in protected industries had been
advanced as the result of the increase
of duties in his bill.
When Mr.. Mckinley proposes to re-
store his tariff to increase the reven-
ues, the country remembers that the
avowed object of his bill increasing
the duties was to reudce the surplus.

A ROAD TO PROSPERITY.

Unquestionably The DalIes is the
most favorable location for a woolen
mill of any city on the Pacific coast,
and why one has not been established
here in the past is unexplainable, for
we have every natural facility. theraw
wool, favorable mill sites, pure water,
cheap fuel, competitive transportation.
an admirable climate and cheap living
for operatives-in fact everything but
the mill. The fact that all efforts to
interest capital in manufacturing in
dustries in The Dalles have failed in
the past need not, however, discourage
such efforts now.
The time is more propitious now for
the establishing of such an industry
than ever before. Prices of every
thing, labor, machinery and raw ma
terials are certainly down to the lowest
possible notch, but q change is near at
hand. Immediately after the election
there will certainly be revival OF
business in all lines, and besides this
the opening of the locks at the cas-
cades are certain to stimulate business
at this point, hence this is the time for
those who want profitable Investments
to get in on the ground floor.
In spite of the depressing times we
have gone through the past few years,
every wooden mill in the state is doing
a good business. A gentleman who is
engaged in the woolen mills, hence is
in position to know, informs us that
there is not mill in the state but is
paying good dividends on the invest
ment and they have all been running
on short time the past year. An in
dustry that will pay good returns
during such times as these is just what
The Dalles wants to make it prosper
Gus. In fact this city must have some
thing more than its commerce if it
would ever be anything more than
shipping point. We must have some
sort of industry that will furnish en-
ployment for more people, in order
that more of our products shall be con-
sumed at home, and also to enable us
to retain the advantages that an open
river will give US.
A prominent business man of the
city has taken in hand the proposition
for establishing woolen mill hero,
and will within short time be pre-
pared to submit to those having capital
to invest, a plan by which a ,two-set
mill can be established here within the
next six months. If the property
owners of The Dalles want to see the
city forge ahead and their city prop
erty doubled in value within the next
five years they can adopt no surer
method than that of encouraging
manufacture. Let them look favor
ably upon proposition that is certain
road to prosperity.
