SPEAKER REED IS CALM.
No FURTHER Remarks Upon Man!ey's
Nervous Chi,I-WiII Not Accept
The ViCe.Presidercy.

Washington, June 12-Aside from
making g. call at the white house today
to take formal farewell of President
Cleveland. upon the close OF congress-
and another at the residence of Repre-
sentative Hit, of Illinois, who has been
III for some time. Speaker Reed re-
manned at the Shcreham, in constant
telegraph cominication with friends and
managers at st. Louis. He had no fur
ther comments to make regarding Mr.
Manley's celebrated statement of We'd
nesday evening. 1t was learned that
Manley's statement of last night was
prepared in response to Mr.. Reeds tele-
gram of inquiry sent yesterday as to
the meaning and cause of his original
statement, which caused such sensa-
tion. Friends of the speaker in St.
Louis wired him that they believed Mr.
Manley became panic stricken at the
demonstration made by the partisans of
Mckinley at the first meeting OF the ma
tional committee and Mr.. Manley's re-
gret over his action satisfied them that
he did not mean it.
The a.sse, ton made by Messrs. Manley
and Murray Crane, the latter CT Massa-
chGsetts, ct st. Louis, that the speaker
would not under any condition, accept
the nomination fer vice president, was
reiterated by his friends in Washington,
so that there ne ID be no rrisunderstand-
ing on that point The action of the
national committee in throwing out
Reed delegates, especially those from
I ,ts.in tod I,
much bitterness by his friends, as un-
necessary, if Mckinley had a majority
of the convention and indefensible in
any view. They were advised that the
Texas anti-Mckinlcy men claiming to
be delegates would probably meet the
fate of their Louisiana llcaguas.
Speaker Reed will not so home until
after the convention adjourns, but he
may go 10 New York on business trip.

MR.. LAYTON'S PROTEST.

The principal address on the other
side was made by Caleb r. Layton,
chairman of the convention which NOM
mated the Addcks delegation, who en-
tered a protest against the washing
of the dirty linen of the Delaware Re-
publicans before the committee. He
also made bitter attack upon the mo-
tives of ex-senator Higgins, whose
political fortune. he said had been
made by Addicks. Then Mr.. Add!cks
made brief address on his own behalf
He claimed that he had been endorsed
by the people of Delaware and had de-
stroyed the worst ring that the Re-
publican party had ever known Mr.
Higgins replied He alluded to Addicks
as that creature" and said that his
speech showed him to be the moral
idiot" that every one in Delaware knew
he was.
r. c. Kerens moved that all of the
Addicks delegation, with the exception
of Addicks himself, be put upon the
temporary roll.
Senator Thurston declared that on
the floor OF the convection he would
speak and vote to unseat the entire
delegation.

GOLD AND IMMIGRATION.

Borrow gold abroad 20 put all our
silver and paper money ON gold
basis. Give us the gold standard TO
mortage all American industries by
selling securities abroad, says Mark
Hanna's platform. Dig the gold and
silver out OF our own mines and coin
It up, independent of the world,at the
old American ratio, and pay our debts
with IL, says Bryan's platform.
Let in all the foreign immigration
that can read and write ttheir own
languagel 10 compete with American
labor, says Mark Hanna's platform,
The only way TO protect American la
Dor Is TO shut out foreign immlgra-
tion, says Bryan's platform.

THE BARRIERS UNION.

1t seems the Salem Barber's union
has not been able 10 enforce Sunday
closing and maintain prices. On
Sunday barber shops were again run
ming, and one or two shops are cutting
prices.
This is 10 be regretted as the bar
bers as well as all classes of laboring
men should not be compelled to work
on the Sabbath day II 1t can be
avoided. Prices on no kind of labor
should be cut, and prices should be
restored to labor as soon MS business
will admit. The union should make
another effort TO enforce Sunday clos
Ing and standard prices ln this city.
They should not give up now. In
Germany, England and all European
countries barber's shave for one to
two cents. We want no such prices
In our country.

THE SALEM OBJECT LESSON.

A Salem jeweler and vice president
OF national bank has an object les
son In his show window TO prove that
silver bullion Is worth but little over
half It's coinage value in gold, while a
gold piece melted down Is worth
nearly Its coinage value In gold,
A big crowd Is at that window all
day, aud even on Sunday that debate
goes on between advocates OF gold
standard and bimetalllsm. The OBJ
lect lesson is making converts TO free
coinage right along, as II proves that
demonetization OF silver has destroyed
nearly half the value OF silver and
everything else but gold.
The blmetallists should thank Capt.
Martin for presenting such an effect

gold.

FROM THE SEASIDE.

NEsKowIN, Aug, 20, 1896.
EDITOR JoURNAL:-If we could re-
ceve hugh slice Of the warmth and
sunshine Of which we hear you have
superabundance out there, in ex-
change for chunk Of fog and mist Of
which we are all heartily tired, we
would gladly do so.
We have witnessed but one perfect
sunset during our two week sojourn
here. On several occasions a large
herd OF some kind of sea animals, pre-
sumably seals, could be plainly seen
but remained two far out to allow us
ia observe their motions as closely as
we desired.
On last Monday evening large
party gathered around the huge bon
fire Of Messrs Lunn and Holman's
camp In response to an invitation
written on the inside Of a clam shell.
A good literary program had been
arranged and was very successfully
carried out. Misses Daisy Lockley
and Kittle Harbord conducted the
exercises with becoming dignity.
Miss Harbord read the "Annals of
Salem Camp for 1896" which created
much merriment. At late hour the
party dispersed highly pleased with
the evenings entertainment.
Last Sunday there were no religious
services as there had been on previous
Sundays but in the evening a few
gathered at Mr.. Fry's camp and song
gospel hymns until late hour. Mrs.
Fry has been quite i'll for several days
but is reported much better today.
Mr.. Keene, the young man who had
his limb hurt as reported last week,
has so far recovered as to be able TO be
removed TO his home near Salem,
Quite number OF families left this
place last Monday for their respective
homes and we hear that eleven more
camps will disappear from "Salem av-
enue" on Friday of this week. Sever

MR.. oEEk's SPEECH.

The Ger spcec., at the armory'
was the ablest effort, for the gold
STANDARD, yet made at Salem. THE
JOURNAL says this In all sincerity. IL
has always treated Mr.. Geer with
more consideration than any paper In
the county. IL has always considered
him fair man aud his ability has
been generally conceded. But we
are forced now to condemn what we
consider AN unfair attack, by Mr..
Geer, on Friday night.
Mr.6eer read an editorial item from
THE JOURNAL TO this effect: "The
standard silver dollaris legal tender
dollar. IL is not a gold-redeemptlon
dollar. IL Is not fiat dollar. IL Is
not a Mexican dollar" Mr.. Geer
added In the same breath and without
Il pause or changing his voice: "But
that is what II will be II we go TO free
coinage" leaving the impression that
The JOURNAL has said our standard
silver dollar under free coinage would
be a Mexican dollar. ...
This was a trick unworthy of any
fair or Intelligent man, and more so
since Mr.. Geer refused TO correct the
false Impression he left IN the crowd.
The JOURNAL has always been a Re
publican paper. IL has upheld the
Republican party when II stood true
and sqnare for American policies.
We have not word 10 retract on
what we have said in the past for pro-
tectlon or sound money. IL was the
Minneapolis platform OF 1892 that said
the Republican party demanded both
gold and silver as standard money.
Now the Republican party declares
that all It's utterances on bimet-
allism In the past meant the single
gold standard. How are the people
20 know but that It's present declara-
tlon for international bimetallism
VIII mean only the British gold
standard next time they make n plat
form9 The Republican state conven-
tion that nominated Mr.. Geer for
presidential elector voted down res
olutlon declaring for the gold stand
ard, Mr.. Geer is neither fair, honest,
just or consistent In his treatment OF
THE JOURNAL or OF the question OF
blmetallism.

MEXICO AND JAPAN.


The Mexican dollar buys bushel of
6heat in Mexico. The gold standard
dollar buys ~ bushels in our country,
Which is the better falrer or juster
measure OF valuesY
The people OF Mexico have the sill
yer standard, because they produce
only about one million OF gold a year
and sixty millions of silver,
While the American people are
struggling TO get rid of the gold
standard, the people OF Mexico are
satisfied and prosper under the silver
standard. An ounce Of silver will buy
as much OF the products of labor as II
ever would.
We are told that II we adopt free
coinage, we shall be reduced TO the
level OF Japan. Japan is not very
badly of, considering that IL is lit
tie island kingdom. It's diet has just
voted s45,OOO,OOo for the construction
