Is the expansion of the British Empire

Farmers children sometimes imagine
that city children have vastly superior ad-
vantages IN the way of education. On
the contrary, the farm bred boy is much
better fitted for life than the city youth.
The city schools teach mostly from books
The farm teaches also from nature and
from practice. The mind of the city boy
is alert and well stored with book knowl-
edge, while with the country boy, mind,
character and body are placed on a solid
basis of development which enables him
to rapidly catch up with the town bred
youth in the struggle for success.-hass.

LET Us ORGANIZE NOW.

The western and southern portions
of the state are well along in the
campaign. Everywhere the Repub-
licans are organizing and carrying
on an active campaign. Eastern
Oregon has hardly begun active
campaigning; our own county is less
active than other portions of the
state this side the Cascades. A call
has been made for a meeting Friday
evening, and we urge upon every
Republican and every Democrat who
expects to vote the Republican
ticket this fall to be present at that
meeting and join hands in an earn
est, active effort to make Mckinley s
majority in Oregon as large proper
tionately as the Republican majority
in Maine.
There now remains less than seven
weeks in which to do the work.
Wasco county, where more wool is
handled direct from the producer
than in any other market in the
United States, must not be indiffer-
ent in this contest. Let Friday
night be the beginning of the most
active campaign ever carried on.
No Republican can be Indifferent and
do his duty.

From June 1, 1866, to November
1, 1867, Republican administration
decreased the national debt $247,-
987 ,295; during the next three years
it paid off $3oo,o0O,ooO more. and
at the same time decreased the taxes
$14O,O00.OO0. From 1870 to the
close of Harrison's administration
it paid off the debt at the average
rate of $72,O0O,OOO per AMMAN.
During all this time the country was
more prosperous than any in the
world. Our per capita circulation
increased, Notwithstanding the enor-
nous increase III our population
our savings. banks were greater at
the close of Harrison's administra-
tion than ever, and a greater per-
centage of our people were employed
at remunerative wages.

TWO NEW YORK DEMOCRATS.

There are two Sheehans in New
York, John. c., who is high in the
councils of Tammany, ard who, like
many other men in times past in his
political situation, care very little
how they get to be bosses of New
York City, so long as they get there.
John stands now for Pcpulism. The
other, William F., is one of the lead
ers of the Democracy of the state, a
member of the Democratic National
Committee, and man Of great in
duence. He says, In /. his recently
published letter, among other sensi-
bic things: 'sFor the first time
within my memory 1--WE have candi-
date of a so-called Democratic con
vention appealing not to the patriot
ism and Democracy of our people
not to their conscience and intelli-
gence; but to their prejudices and
dislIkes.
If the organized Democracy of the
state reverses its position (of June).
stands where it should not stand.
pulls down the banner of Democracy
and HOSTS the flag of Populism,
will not continue to represent it.''
These two men are typical of their
kind-one for the spoils, regardless
of the means; the other for principle
and good government.

Before the Chicago convention
Wasco county warrants were readily
sold in The Dalles at one per cent
premium; yesterday they sold at
80 per cent discount. The condi-
tion of the county has not changed
for the worse; but men who have
saved a few dollars and desire to in
vest 1t, are not anxious to take any
chances of receiving deprecated
dollars for dollars of the present
standard. We suppose Lombard
street has again conspired with Wall
street.

Maine are, with the exception of the
ship building industry, engaged very
largely in agriculture and numbering
business. From neither have they
become so rich as to be lending
money. 1t is not strange. that one
who knows nothing of the state ex-
cept that Sewell lives there, should
con clude that it is state of money
lenders; but there is only one Sewell
there of the kind who started out to
run with Bryan.

In 1871 Senator Stewart said:

do not care how much yon discuss
it, or how many resolutions you PASS,
they do not make any difference
you must come to the same conclu-
sion that all other people have-that
gold is recognized as the universal
standard of value. Itis-lhe measure
that must be used" He was right
then; but he was not then engaged
in unloading his silver mine upon
the American people.
