During all of his
years at the head Of

was dishonoring one of
our great products,
diScrediting silver and
enhancing the price of
gold. He endeayored
even before his inaug-
uration to office to stop
the coinage of silver
dollars and afterward
and to the end OF his
administration persis-
tently used his power
to that end. He was
determined to contract
the circulating III edi-
um and de monetize
one of the coins of COM
merce, limit the vol
ume of money aTDono

money carce and
therefore dear. He
would have increased
the value OF money

EUROPE WILL FOLLOW.

Among the main contentious of the
supporters of VIM. ]. Bryan in refer
ence to the financial question are that
the unrestricted coinage of silver by
the United States will benefit the agri-
cultural classes, and will cause other
nations of the world to adopt system
of bimelatism. The first contention,
that it will benefit the agriculturalists,
is conceded by the more liberal gold
advocates, but they hoot at the idea
that such action would have any in
fuence upon the other nations. They
claim that the independent action of
the United States will act to the re-
verse, and will force this country to
silver monometalism, and will make it
the dumping ground for the silver of
the world. This idea however is not
shared in by many of the leading finan-
ciers of Europe. AS evidence of this
we submit the expressions from those
who attended the international Agri-
cultural congress at Buda Pestb, in
which they say in their letter of con-
graduation to Bryan, that should he
be victorious, they pledge themselves
to spare no effort to bring immediate
pressure upon their respective govern
ments to restore silver to the worlds
currency.
The people who comprised the con-
gress at Buda Pesth are representa-
tives from the leading nations of |
Europe. They recognize that the
demonetization of silver has been det.
rimental to the agricultural interests
of Europe, and further, they pledge
themselves to follow the lead of
America in its efforts to remonetize
the white metal. With such influences
brought. to bear upon the governments
OF Europe, can any one deny that the
independent action of America will
have its influence upon the financial
policies of the world? Can it be denied
that when silver is recognized by the
United States as primary money that
international bimetalism is assured?
With such evidence as this, the ques-
tion resolves itself into tnis fact: That
whenever the United States opens its
mints to the free and unrestricted coin
age of silver, and thereby establishes
most perfect system of bimetalism, the
other powers of the world will 9

AZ THE FOUNDATION

pile up in times of adversely.
| BEGIN 1T THE FOUNDAT TION
Every business interest of the coun-
try is directly ydependentupon the three
great producing classes, the farmers.
| the miners and those who convert the
forests into lumber. These three in
dustries are the only real producers OF
wealth, all others, the merchants, the
bankers, the manufacturers. the trans
portation companies, must look to
them for their support; then any
system that will make these three in
dustries prosperous will tend to create
prosperity for all others. How then
shall we make the primary producers
more prosperous? is the question that
confronts the people of America today.
Will the contraction of our currency
by enhancing the value, or purchasing
power, of our money do it? Will a sys-
tenn that requires two bushels OF wheat
to earn a dollar increase the prosper
ity OF the farmer? viii system that
causes the price of coal, iron, tin and
copper to fall to less than the cost of
production add to the prosperity of the
miner: Will system that requires
double the amount of lumber to buy
given number of dollars send men into
the forests to convert the bounties of
nature into a commodity of commerce?
Sherman, Lodge, Reed and host of
other learned advocates of the gold
standard have acknowledged that the
free coinage of silver will raise the
price of all commodities when meas
ured in that metal. then will not the
free coinage of silver create prosperity
among the three great producing
classes? If it will, then it is what is
needed to set the wheels of commerce
moving in this country. Make the
primary producers prosperous, give
them better prices for their products,
then those dependent upon them will
be affected by their prosperity. Raise
the price of the products of the farm,
the mine and the lumber camp, and
you have solved the problem of Great
ing general prosperity all over the
land. Begin at the end of the string
where all our wealth must originate
and those who supply those producers
will likewise be prosperous.

TWO RoBBERs BAGGED.
One Instantly Killed and the Other ODe
Badly Injured.

One Instantly Killed and the other OAe
| Badly Injured.
| LA GRANDE, Or, Oct. 1.-At go
this afternoon the First Bank of J Joseph,
in Wallowa county, was robbed of
about $4,000 by three mon, one of whom
is dead, another is badly wounded, and
the third is being pursued by a posse
of citizens.
At the time of the hold-up, there
were four customers in the bank.
Cashier Miller is in La Grande attend
ing the fair, and ]. D. McCully was
acting in his place. In waiting on his
customers, McCully had occasion to go
into the vault. When he came back
and looked up, he was confronted with
shotgun in the hands of ona of the
robbers, and was told to throw up his
| hands. The customers had already
complied with this request. aud Nc
Gully did likewise.
One of the robbers leaped oyer the
railing and opened tho private door,
through which the men in the bank
were made to pass, and then they were
lined up against the wall. One robber
took position at the outside door and
compelled all rassersby to halt and
throw up their hands. In the mean
time the third robber had gone into
the vault. He took all the currency
and coin, even to the nickels, and
placed them in sack that he carried.
Coming out, he put everything into
the sack that he could find on the
counter. He then demanded from Nc
Gully the keys to the private boxes,
and ransacked them.
By this time the report that the
bank was being robbed had reached
the citizens, several of whom armed
themselves and awaited the appearance
of the robbers.
AS the robbers made their exit from
! the bank, Alex Donnelly, man 25
years old, opened fire. killing one of
the robbers instantly, and wounding
another, hitting the latter twice. The
third robber, who had the sack con-
tanning the coin, succeeded in reaching
and mounting his horse, after dropping
his gun. He then made off over the
hills toward Prairie creek, afterward
turning toward Cornucopia.
The robber who was killed was
named Brown, and the one who es-
capped is Cy Fitzhugh. The latter had
been working for Mrs. Proebstel, on
Prairie creek. The name of the
wounded robber is unknown, although
he is recognized as having been around
Joseph for some time.
The escaped robber is described as
being low, heavy-set man, with sandy
hair and mustache, of medium weight,
5 feet s inches in height, weighs about
$50 pounds, and is about % years old.
He wore black coat and small slouch
hat, and was riding small horse. A
reward of $500 has been offered for his
capture and the return of the money.

every car being thrown to common

NEW YORK, Sept. 29.-Whether it
may be set down to the enthusiasm of
the candidate or to natural curiosity
that predominates in the American
public, it is nevertheless fact that the
demonstration that greeted W. j.
Bryan today in vhis city was most re-
markable in it's character. Blockaded
streets, crowded auditorium, beseiged
speaking stands and crowds that de-
fed the energy of the police in their
STABILITY were some of the features.
Tammany Hall, that had made the ar
rangements for the welcome and re-
ception, outdid itself in the doing.
Tammany is noted for enthusiastic as
semblages, and tonight within the big
assembly hall the members tore the
air with shouts and appl oval of the
candidates, of the American flag, and
every comment that sayored either of
patriotism or loyalty to the democratic
principles. Every man who entered
was presented with flag, the result
being that when anything pleased the
audience the crowded hall seemed one
huge wave of the stars and stripes.
