ONE THEORY EXPLODED.

The theory of the gold standard adj
vocates, that wages in all lines of In
dustry will be reduced if Bryan is
elected, seems not certain of being
carried out strictly in all instances,
hence the theory is exploded. There
is stove fac ory at Newark, Ohio.
where wages will be advanced 10 per
centin case of Mr.. Bryan's success.
A Newark dispatch, dated Oct. 5, to
the S. F. ExamiDei, says:
SIT has been many days since a
factory notice promising increased
wages has been seen in this vicinity,
but the employees of the Central city
Stove Works here today were notified
that in case of Bryan's election an in
crease of 10 per cent in their wages
would be given. The coinpauy's presi-
dent, c.. w. Cunningham, has been a
lifelong republican, while the heaviest
stockholder, W. N. Fulton, although a
banker, is an enthusiastic silver advo-
cate. Nearly all the employees are
republicans, but all are Bryan support
ers. President Cunningham said to-
day the reason the promise of better
wages was made was because the COM
pany felt confident free coinage would
stimulate business, especially in the
west, where the trade of the concern
largely lies"
The action of the manufacturers
bears out the contention of the advo-
Gates of free coinage, that business will
be increased by an increase Of circula-
ting medium, and thus better wages
caa be paid laborers.

JUST FOR EFFECT.

Senator Quay, the great Pennsyl-
vania boss is pretty good at claiming.
and under date of Oct IL. sent out
this statement:
'The election of Mckinley and
Hobart is an accomplished and assured
fact. They will receive 270 electoral
votes, Bryan will receive ITO, and
there are six states, having 81 electoral
votes, which are doubtful, but the
probabilities at present point to the
fact that these 81 will go into the re-
publican column and be added to the
go now assured for Mckinley and
Hobart. This is the status today. We
have the election and will hold it.
The opposition has abandoned the
East.
It will be noticed that in making
this broad assertion, Senator Quay
carefully avoids naming any one of the
states from which the grand aggrega-
tion of 2I0 are to come. Evidently
this estimate is made without any
foundation whatever. for from other,
and fully as reliable sources, come evil
dences that instead Of McKinley's
election being assured 1T becomes more
doubtful every day, and if his manag-
ers would acknowledge that their very
souls are struck with the fear that their
Napolean has found his Waterloo.
They are truly alarmed. and the causes
for their alarm are we'll founded. They
are these:
In 1892, when MIR. Whitney was the
power behind the screens at demo-
cratic national headquarters, he in
duced his Wall street friends to send
an independent commission to Illinois,
Indiana, Ohio and Wisconsin in the
last week of September, to make OBJ
servations and report the result. The
report of that commission was so ac-
curate that this year the Wall street
men sent the same commission to the
same and neighboring states to report
on the situation. The commissioners
have returned to New York, and re-
ported to their employers.
The report has made Wall streets
hair stand on end. The commission,
of course. was not to be governed by
sentiment, but by cold facts. Well,
the report rade out is that Bryan will
come near sweeping every state west
of the Allegheny Mountains The
Wall street investigators say that
Bryan will carry Illinois outside of
Cook county by $4,000 majority, and
that Chicago could not be relied upon
to give more than 10000 majority for
Mckinley This would give the
electoral vote of Illinois to Bryan by
80, foo. The Wall street commission
reported that Indiana would give
Bryan 5000 plurality, and that ''all
HI could not change it,"
Minnesota and Michigan also were
given to Bryan, and Ohio, Wisconsin
and Iowa were put down as doubtful
states, with the chances favoring Nc
kinney, the Commission said that of
the three last named States, Ohio was
the most likely to go for Bryan.
This news which came from Wall

more with the trusts than the people.
However, with these cx-attorney-
generals and the present incumbent
we have little 20 DO, since the latter's
term expires next March, but the ex-
periencc OF the past has made the
plundered people solicitous as to who
Will fill the Office of attorney-general
in the future, whether he shall be q
second Miller or Oiney, or whether he
shall be maa who is not under the
influence of these gigantic combines.
II Mr.. Bryan is elected there can be
no doubt us to what sort of a man he
will appoint to this Office. In his
Tammony Hall speech he declared
himself. 81 am opposed to trusts" he
said, ''ard if am elected shall use as
an executive what power l shall have
to drive every trust out of existence.
If present laws are not sufficient to
meet this evil. I, ifelected, will recon-
mend such laws as will meet it"
But where does Mr. Mckinley stand?
What sort of man will he appoint
attorney-general? Judging from the
fact that MIR. Hobart is ut the head OF
the coal trust aud that Mr.. Hanna is
in sympathy with more trusts and COM
bines than almost any other man in
the nation, there is little to expect
than that whomever Mr.. Mckinley
would appoint would be in harmony
with the interests of his manager and
his running mate, that the attorney
general under his administration
would be only second edition OF
Miller or Olney.

SETTLED At LAST.

A special London dispatch to the
New York World, dated October g.
says:
The World correspondent examined
today file of the Financial News, in
it's Office here, and found the following
statement in an editorial in its issue OF
April 80, 1891:
.'There can be no doubt about it
that if the united States were to adopt
a silver basis tomorrow British trade
would be ruined before the year was
out, for American industry would be
protected not only at home but in
every other market"
This is the statement that has been
SO widely copied by the silver press OF
late, and denounced as spurious by the
goldites. Now that the World. which
is strong and able. advocate of gold,
has found it to be genuine, and to have
been published more than two years
ago, when the silver agitation was in
its infancy, it is to be expected that its
authenticity will no longer be ques-
toned and that the goldites will con-
cede that England is afraid of the re-
suit of free coinage in the United
States

WHO PAYS THE BILLa

1t is rather inquisi0ive perhaps to
ask, who pays the salaries. of the
worthy state officials who are camp
aigning for Mckinley? and to ask
why these gentlemen who are drawing
salaries from the state are not at their
several posts of duty earning them?
but they are questions the Taxpayers
of Oregon would like to know.
Railroad Commissioner ]. B. Eddy.
who for nearly four years has been
drawing $500 annually of the taxpay-
er's money, is neglecting his duties
while campaigning in Southern
Oregon, though he is still. on the state
pay roll. However, he never did give
any return for his'salary, hence so fap
as his services TO the state are coz.
cerned, nothing is lost.except his IS a
day.
among the other leeches who are
out pleading the cause of the gold
standard are Attorney-General Idle
man, who draws $4,000 year from the
treasury of Oregon, w. S. Dunniway,
Governor Lords private secretary,
who draws $500 year of the taxpay-
er's hard-earned gold, and r. J. Hend-
ricks, superintendent of the state re-
form school, who has his hand in the
treasury to the tune of $500 a year.
The aggregate salaries of these state
officials is Sl0,500, or something over
S35 for each working day, SO it is the

With such facts as these staring him
in the face. men like Quay cannot but
feel alarmed, hence make anch broad
boasts as the abnve, simply for effect,
hoping thereby to create an enthusiasm
for their candidate, knowing that
there is certain vote that always
tries to get on the popular side.

WHAT WILL Mckinley DOG

Nothing is more dangerous to the
people, or causes them to pay un-
reasonable profits on the articles they
consume, than the existence aud main
tainance of trusts and combines that
prevent honest competition. Through
the organization of trusts, combines
can be and are made by which the
product of manufactures can be so
limited and prices so adjusted that the
consumer is forced to pay for such
products whatever price may be de-
manded, since all competition in the
lines controlled by such trusts is pre-
vented. Congress recognized the dis
advantage at which the consumer was
placed by the organization OF trusts,
and in 1890 passed a stringent anti
trust law with the following provisions:
,.Every contract, combination in the
form of trust or otherwise, or con-
spiracy in restraint of trade or COM
merce among the several states or
with foreign nations is hereby de-
clared to be illegal.
EVERY person who shall monopolize
or attempt to monopolize or conspire
with any other person or association
to monopolize, any part OF the COM
merce between the several states, or
with foreign nations, shall be deemed
guilty of misdemeanor, and on con-
viction thereof shall be punished by
finesnot exceeding $1,000, or by i'm
prisonment not exceeding one year,
or by both said punishments, in the
discretion of the court"
But this law has never been en-
forced. and today there are more trusts
in existance in the United States than
at any other period in its history, not
withstanding the existence OF the law.
Acknowledgement Olney and his pre-
dacessor. Warner Miller, held that it

OHIO IS DOUBTFUL.

Hardly any supporter of Bryan has
deemed Ohio anything but certain
state for Mckinley: in fact it has been
generally conceded that its % votes
would go solid for its favorite son;
but Henry George, after spending two
weeks travelling over that state views
the situation differently. Ia summing
up the situation, Mr.. George says:
s'Both the hope and fear that Nc
Kinley will carry Ohio are based upon
the perfection of the Republican or
ganization. the special interests at its
back and the great amount of money
| at its disposal. But, to my mind there
are forces on the other side that more
than offset these. Take thernatter of
organization. a matter of which the
democratic practical politician laments
the lack, and it seems to me the Bryan
people have the advantage. Their or
ganization is of different kind, but it
will prove, I think, the more effective
as the short sword and more open Or
der Of the Roman legion proved more
effective than the long spears and
serried ranks of the Grecian phalanx.
In every city in which have been, in
every town of which have heard is
proof that the political discussion that
is going on is hand-to-hand work, and
what counts the hanging up of ban
ners, hiring of great halls, bringing of
speakers from abroad, getting up of
monstrous excursions, to the talk of
neighbor with neighbor that is honey
combing the entire state with free
silver clubs and Bryan leagnes.
"Take the power of the banks and
railroads and all they control. Time
and time it has been proved that their
power at the polls is as nothing when
clear issue is made against them.
Sand now, when only four weeks of
the campaign remain. there can be no
question as to which side is gaining.
Free silver is everywhere making it's
way and everywhere the republican
candidates are losing ground l find
this in Cleveland as return to it, after
something over weeks absence, and
it is thing upon which all those l
have talked with elsewhere are agreed.
sAnd to these elements of success is
being added that most potent element
which Bryan's personal touch with the
people is producing and intensifying-
belief in the honesty of the man.
From my views of the situation 1 can
not think Bryan will fail to carry
Ohio by q large majority: and the
same influences that give him Ohio
should give him all the central West
ern states that have been considered
doubtful"

Talked to the women.

MINNEAPOLIS, Oct. 13.-Perhaps the
most unique feature of Bryan's visit to
Minneapolis was his address last night
at the Lyceum theater to an audience
exclusively Of women. There were
1000 women present. Mrs. Frank A.
Valesh presided. When Bryan ar
rived at about 10 o'clock the ladies
arose en- masse, waved handkerchiefs
and flags, elapped their hands and
called his name. In fact, they did
everything men might do, Except give
three cheers and tiger.
