The Pops and Free Silver.

The Populists have long been deceiv-
ing the people with their clamor for
free silver, which they no more be-
lieve in than does the Republican
party. With the clap-trap cry, how
ever, they have caught the disgruntled
element of the Democ attic party. The
true intent is openly avowed, and yet
the innocents do not see it. Out of
the misery and want to ensue from
the adoption, of this visionary scheme
the Populists hope to secure their end
fiat money. Mr.. Abel Pop. candi-
date for prosecuting attorney, has been
one OF the loudest opponents of free
silver. Yet, in the Economist of Jan
nary 80, 1895, which lie then edited,
he gave away his hand by saying
"There is the fact that free silver is at
best only temporary is>ue-a make
shift" And again, he said:
"Although willing to uphold the
cause of free silver, we have done so,
not because it is ref rm OF widespread
Importance, but because there are
thousands of voters who still cling to
the fetish of metallic money-wilo
love the old superstition and hang
with the tenacity OF conse vatism to
It's illogical dogmas."
VIII the voters of this county place
any confidence in such tenets and
utterers of them?-Aberdee Bulletin.

The Pav'rrs % Pogore.

1--WE must AL wnrtl or steal hnws''er
we name onr stealing" "Ai profits
are simply so much unpaid labor"
"Every man j. entitled to the full
value of all he has ere ted" The fore
going quotations are from Rogers book
entitled "Politics." In other words,
no man is entitled to any returns t"r
capital invested N anyf enterprise IN
which labor is enplofed. Now let us
see how THAT would work.
Two taeh start ont fishing together.
They hire boat and gear, and are
fairly successful. During the season.
they make, clear of alFexpenses $1,000
This they divide equally. One puts
his money in the bank, and the other
proceeds to have q =" good time" with
his, and spends it all for booze. Next
spring the one who has saved his
money buys himself boat and gear
at cost of $500 He goes to his old
partner and hires him to work for him
at so much per month. Why does he
do this? Simply because he thinks /
there is a good run Of fish he Will not
only make wages for himself and in
terest on the $500 he has invested in
the business, but profit on the other
mans labo;. Rogers says he has no
right to this profit.
Now suppose there is poor run OF
fish; suppose he has bad luck and
snags his net or gets his boat damaged
or suppose he does not catch enough
fish to pay the wages he has agreed to
pay the other man. what is he going
to do? He will be obliged to pay the
other man whether he gets cent for
his own services or not.
According to Rogers the man who
has no money invested in the business,
who takes no chances, who will get
his wages whether the fish run or not
should receive as much for his seasons
labor as the man who has the savings
of last seasons labor invested in the
business, who does the Same amount
of labor as the man who is working for
him and who takes all the chances to
lose not only his labor but his property.
This is the man whom the Popocrat
party has nominated for Governor OF
this state-Aberdeen Recorder.

The Hope Of the Country.

The hope of the country, the safety
of the republic, the return of prosper
ity and the happiness OF the nation
rests with the republican party. It's
grand principles, which once before
saved the nation from its enemies, and
gave us thirty years of unexampled
prosperity, are still there and enrolled
in its membership are the brainiest,
bravest men of the country. There
will be no flag of anarchy af1oat while
Mckinley and Reed, Harrison and
Morton, and such statesmen, are lead
ing the republican party; nor will the
humhlest republican allow the Ameri-
can flag to be disgraced while the
memory of Abraham Lincoln lives.
In this free country anarchy NAV be
preached, but it never will be tolerat-
ed. There are today, and there will
be always, enough patriotic, law abid-
ing, honest men in the United States
to protect the republic in time of
danger.
The people of Washington will show
by their votes on Nov. Ord that they
have had enough free trade expert
ments, that make heggars of working
men ;of wildcat money ideas that in
Jnres our financial standing, and of
revolutionary threats, arising not from
fidelity to the constitution and laws.
but from hostility to them.-Sidney

The campaign OF falsehood and
misrepresentation on the part of the
fnslcrats, goes merrily on. They are
sprlnglng new canards constantly but
as rapidly are they being proven false
but that makes no difference with the
fusion speakers and press they keep
releating the lie inst the same. Think
OF 1T, you honest voters; is it safe to
trust party whose existence is based
on desire for Office and an imagined
grievance, and whose campaign is con-
Quoted simply on a theory and abso-
Lutte falsehood? Answer the question
on Nov. 3 by casting your ballot as
your conscience dica tes.-Herald.

Populism Paralyzed.

Never in the history of the state OF
Washington has conditions so com
bined as to substantially benefit her
agricultural classes, and incidentally
mercantile and industrial interests
stands To receive an impetus from this
legitimate and much 10 be desirtd In
crese, not OF the much. discussed per
capita, but as some one has aptlv pat
it, "per pocketa" Of circulation. On
September 1st the local wheat market
opened the season with quotations of
49c aud sic for little club and blue
stem varieties respectively. Today the
quotations stand at Toe and Tie, resp
ectively, a gain in less than two
months OF 26c per bushel SO radical
and extensive an advance, coming at
time when the great bulk of wheat
was in producers hands, is almost
unprecedented, and giving the narrow
est credit of 100000 bushels to the
state, with range upward in the
estimate to 100000 bushels, the
results can easily be seen to be mort
gage litter and stimulant of the most
gratifying character. There has been
for years depression in values, which
has taught lessons that makes the
present change the more appreciate.
The cost of production has been les
sened and the aggregate of farm mort
cages reduced in many instances, the
farmer has no immense store bill as in
the palmy days of yore, but has paid
cash for his merchandise, and every
cent OF advance is an increase of pro-
hts which may be applied to the better
ment OF his condition and the liquida-
ton OF outstanding obligations upon
his realty. Wheat alone, however
does not constitute the sole increase
IN the states wealth, and the Western
Washington oat raiser, with crop
greater than can be raised elsewhere
on the footstool, is getting TO-DAY
S20 q Y ton in this market, com
pared with $40 @ Ii at the same time
last year. Our dairy interests have
brought increased returns and Wash
lngton farms have upon conservative
estimate yielded closer to 100000
more to the producers than last years,
after discounting the results of a small
er yield of fruit. This means increased
business for everyone, but the on-pro-
ducing calamity-howler, whose occupa-
ton is badly demoralized. The time
worn jingle expresses the farmers
sentiments these days: 600 bury the
kickers out in the woods in little
round hole in the ground, where the
chipmunk munk and the katydids did
and the straddle-hugs straddle around"
