The women was knocked PROSTATE. She
arose and walked few steps, when she
fell from weakness. She was then car
RED to drug store, when Mr.. Hayden
was summoned who took her home.
She was given an opiate which had the
usual effect of quieting her and subduing
the pain. 1t is not thought her injuries
are serious.
Few men are possessed of the hard
headedness of Mr.. NJ. @. Sellick, a
rancher near Boyd. While coming in
with heavy load of wheat yesterday,
one of the wagon wheels went into a
rut, throwing him and the spring seat
on to the horses. One of them kicked
him, and before he could get out of the
way one of the front wheels passed over
his head, directly behind the ear. His
Uranium withstood the tremendous pres

his right hand was broken.
Coroner Butts was called to Hood
River this afternoon by telephone to

The body was tied with rope attached

the coroner. The discoverer was hurried
for time, being desirous of attending the
funeral>of Mrs. Bell. He therefore did
not examine it, and did not know
whether it was that of white or col
ored person, nor man or woman.

and joint resolution can be got through
at very early date.
The senator then turned his attention
to the issues of the campaign. He
stated that ihe Republican party was
ready to meet the money question face
to face and there would be no beating
around the bush. AS far as he was in
dividually concerned, while the money
is an important Issue, there are others
which are paramount-prominen among
which is that principle which relates to
the protection of American homes,
American Industries and American
labor. He described the struggle of our
countrymen when they were colonists to
be due from deprivation of personal
liberty and the war of independence
which followed was to free ourselves
from the industrial oppression of Great
Britain. The government which fol-
lowed lasted but six years, then came a
convention of colonists which drafted
our present grand constitution, it being
found that we were yet commercial
slaves to the mother country, by reason
of not having proper tariff safeguards, to
keep out foreign manufactures and con-
sumo the home product 1t is plain
matter of history which all may see,
that under protective policy our nation
has always enjoyed prosperity, and
under free trade the reverse has been
true. He challenged anyone in the au-
dience to contradict this statement, that
under protective policy we have always
had prosperity and peace, and that
under the opposite policy opposite re-
suits followed. He then went on to
recite some historical instances. The
first fifty nine years of our national ex-
istence was under a protective tariff.
Prosperity was widespread. Exports
largely exceeded imports. Then came a
period of free trade until 1912, period
of stagnation, bankruptcy, business fail
ures and general destitution. Then
came the protective tariff of 1912; pros
perity again exports exceeded imports
by $64, 4,0oO, 900. Polk and Dallas was
next elected and under them free trade
policy by the repeal of the protective
tariff OF 1912. Fourteen years of distress
followed. The imports from foreign
countries exceeded exports by 1892, ,500,-
900. Protection was reinstated in 1876

THE SENATOR ADDRESSES A LARG E
AUDIENCE AT THE voGT.
Hundreds Turned Away Unable to Gain
Admission--A FOrcible and
Convincing Speech.

The audience that Assem- bled at the

that ever gathered in The Dalles. The
large hall was taxed to its full capacity
and then proved inadequate by far to
hold the vast number who came to near
Oregon's greatest public man today,
Senator ]. H. Mitchell. When the band
and drum corps entered the hall, fol-
lowed by hundreds of citizens, shortly
before o'clock, the audience room was
found to be three-fourths full. Only the
vanguard, as it were, of the trailing
crowd were fortunate enough to secure
admission. Arriving in the hall, it was
found to be most beautifully and expen-
sively decorated. Gay streamers of bunt-
ing depended from the center of the cell
ing to the four corners and the sides.
The speakers stand was draped with a
mammoth American flag, and a full
length portrait of Hon. VIM. Mckinley
was placed at the top of the proscenium,
directly over the speakers head. The
stage was occupied by local leaders of
the party, among them Mr.. L. E. Grove,
president of the Mckinley club, ex-Gov-
ernor Moody. Mayor Menefee, Hon. E.

patriotic and thrilling campaign song.
Being fttingly introduced by Mr.. LIE.

with an ovation of applause.

AS long as gold, either from its in
trinsic superiority as a metal, from its
rarity or from the prejudices of man
kind, retains, so considerable pre-emi-
nence in value over silver as it has hith-
erto had, natural consequence of this
seems to be that its condition will be
more stationary. The revolutions, there
fore, which may take place in the COM
parative value of gold and silver will be
changes in the state of the latter rather
than in that of the former. .-Alexande
