WHERE DOES ELLIS sTANDs

Voters in this congressional district
who consider the money question the
only issue, or at least the issue OF
greatest Importance in the coming
congressional election, are desirous OF
knowing just where Mr.. Ellis stands
on the money observation-disclosures he is
a real advocate of the free and unlim-
tied coinage of silver at the ratio OF lS
to !, or whether he will adopt the dec.
larations of the ST. Louis convention,
whatever they may be, as tho principle
to govern his actions in congress II re-
elected. This the voters have right
to know before election day, but SO far
as is known Mr.. Ellis has neglected to
give any definite answer as to where
he will stand. According to the Ore:
gonian, some of his friends say "he
isn't much of a silver man, but only
wants to be elected, and if the St. Louis
platform shall declare for the gold
standard, Ellis will accept it; that. in
short, therepublican party can't make
platforms faster than he will get on
to them, whenever that may be nec-
essary to enable him to get or to hold
Office"
If this, is true, MIR. Ellis views on
the financial question are ineed most
uncertain, SO uncertain as to not merit
the confidence either gold-standard or
free-silyer voters. No voter. who
considers the money question Of more
Importance than anything else, can
accept such position. The voter who
believes in the free coinage OF silver
wants to know that the candidate
whom he supports will advocate free
silver regardless of the declarations OF
any convention that may meet in the
near future. The same is true of the
sound money men. They cannot af-
ford to take chances on man who
must wait until the meeting Of the St.
Louis conven ton before he will define
his views. Hence it Is if the financial
question is to be made the issue, Mr..
Ellis can cut little or no figure in the
coming election. Nobody knows where
he stands, while the position of his op-
ponents is clearly defined. Judge
Northup is pronounced for gold.
standard; Judge Bennett and Mr..
Quinn are for the free coinage of silver,
Mr.. Ellis is nowhere. He cannot be
placed anywhere in the race on the
money question, and if it is true that
he will be with the st. Louis conven-
tion whether is declares for or against
silver, is it not possible that he would
surrender his protection principles
and be with the convention if it were
to declare for free trade? Being un-
certain on one Issue make him uncer.
tain on all.

BENNETT AND THE TARIFF

The Pendlefon Tribune evidently
undertook to misconstrue Judge Ben
nets position on the tariff, when re-
porting his speech at Pendleton, by
holding out the impression that he
was an out-and-out free trader, opposed
to duty on wool or other ''raw" ma
terials. What Judge Bennett said
was: 81 don't believe that the govern
ment has q right to take from the far
mer of the lands tribute to build up the
manufacturers. If the west must be
subservient to the east, if I must be
traitor to my people, am not demo-
crat. We want reasonable tariff for
revenue ouly."
Is this free trade doctrine? If it is,
then the farmers of the 1883 tariff law,
who were considered the most adj
vanced protectionists prior to McKin-
ley's advent into congress, were free
traders. What does the sentence, "If
the westsmust be subservient to the
east, 1 am no democrat" mean, but
a reasonable tariff for revenue, so
adjusted as to effect alike all our indus.
tries, which is demanded by the state
platform? Wool is product OF the
western farmer, and the position Judge
Bennett takes, and an Interpretation
of his expressions means, that q reason.
able duty on wool meets his approval.
He recognizes that the present tariff
law is inadequate as asrevenue q meas
ure since the income tax provision was
stricken from 1t, hence If more revenue
is required, he will not object to duty
on an article that is a western product
for he plainly says he twill not be
a traitor to his people,

IN INJUSTICE TO MIR. MOORE

It is not the province of the TINES
MoUNTANEER to correct misstate-
ments made regarding republican
candidates, especially when made by
the organs of that party, probably with
the intent of injuring the reputation of
the candidates; but desiring to rise
above party prejudice and see fair play
extended to all, cannot refrain from
asking the Fossil Journal where it
gets its authority for stating that Hon.
w. Fl. Moore, republican candidate
for joint senator is Mitchell man."
The TINES ES-MoUNTAINEER has never
interviewed Mr.. Moore on this subject,
nor does it intend to, but it is the gem
eral impression in Wasco county that
Mr.. Moore is sound money man, and
directly opposed to the reelection of
Senator Mitchell. If the journal con-
tinues to insist on placing him in line
as a Mitchell man." it is liable to do
HIM an injury especially with his
gold.standard admirers in this county.
Possibly, however, the Journal is en-
deavoring to force Mr.. Moore to carry
water on both shoulders, which is
most difficult undertaking in times
like these, when men are supposed to
stand up to be counted.

A GOOD OLD WAY.

The Oregonian's Washington cor
respondent expresses the belief that
President Cleveland will veto the
river and harbor bill. 1.-THE main
reason for this action" says the cor.
respondent, ''is that it contains so
many continuing contracts, and pro-
vides for large expenditure in the
future. Cleveland has always been
opposed to river and harbor appropria-
tions. He thinks it is an unnecessary
expenditure. He thinks results could
be obtained by a much less expendi-
ture."
The president is certainly iustifi ed
in arriving at this opinion, for there
has not been river or harbor i'm
provement made in the past twenty
years that has not cost twice what it
should have. The fault, however, lies
in the manner in which such works
are conducted, and their being placed
in the hands Of the war department.
If internal improvements were made
as they formerly we're, under the su-
peryision of states, they would cost
less money and be completed in half
the time required under the present
system. OF this we have practical
demonstration right here at homo.
Had 81, 1,500,Oo0 been appropriated and
turned over to the state of Oregon for
the construction OF the canal and locks
at the Cascades, the work would have
been completed years ago. This was
the plan adopted in years gone by for
the Mississippi and Ohio
rivers, aud it worked most satisfactory.
1t is-one of the good old systems we
could well return to in these days when
government improvements are looked
upon as being for the benefit of con-
tractors and civil engineers.
The Dalles times-mountaineer. [volume] (The Dalles, Or.) 1882-1904, 1896-05-09
a RIGHT IDEA.

The Goldendale Sentinel is alive to
the interests of the Inland Empire.
and is taking the right view about the
Cascade Locks proposition. 1t recog-
nizes that the opening of the Columbia
river depends upon the work OF the
representative of the second Oregon
district In congress, and in its last
issue it said:
"Klickitat county, bordering on
the Columbia river for over one
hundred miles, has an interest in the
election of a representative in the
second district of Oregon. If Ellis is
to be defeated, better that Judge Ben
nett, Of The Dalles, be elected.
"If The Oregonian really desires the
election of Mr.. Northup, it should nse
it's influence, if it has any, in show
ing up the dirty work in connection
with the Cascade Locks. No vote in
Eastern Oregon should go for the
Oregonian candidate unless Portland
people show more interest in the In
land Empires future welfare.
Eastern Oregon should have the
mere right to make the opening OF the
Columbia river the paramount issue.
The house of representatives is safe for
sound money and protection. With
Judge Bennett of The Dalles in con.
gress, his chief desire would be the
opening of the Columbia. All he has
to do to be elected is to shout for an
omen river.

a GREAT CHANGE.

The Boston Herald says that local
elections in New York, New Jersey
and Connecticut, not to speak of ex-
pressions of public feeling elsewhere,
seem to indicate that the political re-
action against the democrats has made
q distinct turn, and that the tide of
popular feeling, instead of setting
against them. is now turning in their
favor. AS compared with year ago,
their political condition throughout
the country has undergone an improve
ment, a result partly due to local
causes, such as the liquor legislation
in New York state. and partly due to
the incapacity exhibited by the repub-
lican majority in congress.
The Herald further says the change
in public sentiment during the last
1--WE months has been SO great that .s il
it continues to exercise its influence,
t may give the democracy in Novem-
ser very much more than a fighting
,hance OF success"

PROTECTION At HOME.

Before the Rattlesnake road was
constructed, the farmers Of Sherman
county had a practical illustration of
the principles Of protection when ap-
piled to home. They had no feasible
route for reaching outside markets
with their supplies except by a single
line of thoroughfare-the railroad
nor had they any practicable means of
reaching base Of supplies outside the
county, therefore were. to great ex-
tent, forced to buy of their local mer.
chants at whatever price was de-
manded. In other words the lack of
free road between Sherman county and
The Dalles served as protection for
the Moro and Wasco merchants
against the encroachments of low
prices that prevailed in The Dalles.
In short, the merchants of Moro and
Wasco were enabled to force the Sher-
man county farmers to trade with,them,
and at the prices they saw fit to FIX. It
is little wonder the Molo merchants
opposed the building OF the road, for
they are protectionists, and they were
actuated by the same principle that
predominates with the eastern manu-.
facturer of Europe; the Moro mer-
chants wanted protection against The
Dalles, where competition is close, and
merchandise Is sold on close margin.
Happily free trade has been established
between Sherman county and The
Dalles, through the medium of the
Rattlesnake road, and the farmers will
derive the benefit.

and sale between the protec-
tionists and the silver senators. He
emphatically declared that the silver
men were bribed to support the Nc
Kinley bill. "They reconed," he said,
THAT the Mckinley law would be
worth billions to the manufacturers,
and they shrewdly concluded that in
order to get the billions the inanufac-
t'lrers would give the silver men mill
lions. So the bargain was struck there
and then. The Mckinley senators
agreed to pass the silver purchasing
bill in consideration of the votes OF
the senators from the silver-producing
states for the Mckinley enormity.
Something less than 81 Zoo, ,000 month
for nearly forty months was the price
protectionist senators paid the bullion
aire senators for the Mckinley law. "
While Teller was making these rev.
elariops, numbers of senators were
present who assisted in the passage OF
the two laws in 1890, but not one of
them arose to deny his statements.
By their silence they admitted the
truth of his statements, and so this
shameful record of jobbery goes down
to history as an admitted fact. The
secret of how the treasury of the
United States has been encountered
to satisfy the greed of the manufac-
turers was brought to light, and not
one who took part in the job at
tempted to refute the charge. Teller's
relevations created profound sensa-
tion, for they fixed the blame where it
properly lies, and show who are really
responsible for the existence of the
Sherman notes, as they are callde,
which have become such handy med
ium for drawing gold out of the treas
ury and forcing the issue of bonds.

measures will be resorted to by the de-
partment, unless the amount reported
missing is accounted for. The trust
funds are the accumulations of years
and are the moneys turned in by
foreign governments to liquidate
claims of citizens of the United States.
The department has been compelled
to retain some of the moneys, on ac-
count of failure to find the claimant or
from other causes. Consequently the
fund is large. While the government
is morally responsible for the money,
it is not legally SO, and the claimants
will have to go to congress for redress
unless the missing sum is returned.

INDEPENDENT VOTING.

Political preference should cut little
or no figure in the election Of county
officers. The voter who allows his
party prejudice to predominant over
all other matters when voting for non.
political offices is untrue to himself and
his country. In county affairs the
qualification, honesty and integrity of
a candidate, his capability to serve
the county well and faithfully, is of
more Importance to the taxpayer than
the fact of his belonging to one or the
other of the parties. Conventions Of.
ten make mistakes which voters should
rectify. If an incompetent man is
nominated by any party it Is the right.
the privilege, the duty of the voter to
see that he is not elected, to exercise
his right of suffrage in a way that will
best serve the interests and welfare OF
the masses. It is onthe Independent
voter that the county must rely for
protection from taxeaters and merce-
nary officials.
In Wasco county there is an undis-
puted republican majority Of from 300
to 400, and If that party has made no
mistakes in nominating men for the
different county offices, every one of
the nominees should be elected, But
if The party has erred in its judgment,
it is the duty of the independent voters
in the party to correct the errors. A
number of the nominees of the party
are at present, or have in the past held
positions of honor and trust, and it Is
the privilege Of the voter to inquire
into their official acts and ascertain If
they have been good or bad. If their
records are good, and the nominees
them are not more compe-
tent, or more capable of serving the
county, then of course they are en-
titled to election. But if in the past
they have proven themselves incompe-
tent or unnecessarily extravagant in
the management of the duties con-
nected with their respective off,
GERS, they should, by all means, be
supplanted. The same is alike |
true with reference to the demo.
cratic nominees who are at present or
have in the past been in office.
Search their official records, and if
they are found wanting or to have
been neglectful of their duties, do not
support them. Let the independent
voters view these matters cody and
Without prejudice or sympathy, and
Wasco county will be assured of being

Was made last night by the Union
school board that lumber of war;
rants. taken by the sheriff for taxes,
and returning to the board, had been
fraudulently issued. There were
seven of these forged warrants. It is
thought beyond question that the for
gerry is the work of Charles N. Wylie,
a young man who was employed in the
office of Charles e. Cochrane, the
school clerk. During the temporary
absence OF Mr.. Cochran, Wylie drew
these warrants, ranging In amount
from $45 to $50, and amounting in the
aggregate to S405, and sold them to
local merchants at q discount, claiming
he had purchased them from the
teachers whose names appeared upon
them. He then left the city, claiming
the serious illness of au uncle at Kan
sas City called him there, but it is now
learned he went to California, being
