The country has been temporizing
with chronic GROWERS long enough.
The man who continues to sit down
and paint the business sky in colors as
dark as midnight should be invited to
move. Confidence and industry and
not grumbling and idleness make bust
ness. The man who has given his
brain to his work and whose hands are
calloused with labor has never had
serious cause for complaint. Want of
business confidence has been prolonged
by undue agitation. The woes of the
business world have been emphasized
in the halls of congress, from the
rostrum, in the public press and upon
the street corners until once prosper
Gus people have been almost led to he
lieve that they are helpless, starving
creatures in the midst of plenty. Let

Fair and Decent Treatment.

The difference on the financial ques-
ton is simply matter of method, and
with the exception of few cheap
politicians ON both sides of the fence,
the people are honestin their opinions.
They are seeking for light and should
be treated fairly, Everybody wants
true bi-metalism, but which is the
best and safest way to secure it? The
Skagit News says:
Gall the hurrah and denunciation
that cheap politicians indulge in to
mislead or deceive the honest masses.
will not be effective to blind them to
the actual benefits that must result
from the restoration of the republican
party to power. This paper does not
deny, nor would it attempt to conceal
the fact that the financial question is
most important factor in politics.
There is an honest difference of opin-
ion on the silver question, but that
difference consists not in the restora-
ton of silver as money, but how that
restoration may best be accomplished.
To say that man is dishonest or is a
crank because he differs with you, ar
CUES and proves nothing. He has the
same right to make charges as to you,
but when both desire to attain the
same just end, but differ as to the
method of affecting it, reason and
common sense alike dictate that com
mon effort with q common purpose
may bring about the desired result
Many intelligent and patriotic men
believe that an adjustment of the
tariff will solve the money question.
Many just as conscientious and intelli.
gent men believe that The tariff com.
plication has nothing to do with oul
financial troubles. Many patriotic
and enlightened men in the republican
party, believe that silver cannot be
! restored without international agree
ment, and that such agreement can be
had. Whilst many equally as consci
entious and intelligent believe that in
ternational agreement is not necessary
and cannot be had. Here is an issue
and the majority of the party in ma
tiOnal convention has declared in favo
of an international agreement ant
pledged the party to attempt to bring
it about"

PORTLAND, Ore, July 25.-In a
match race, mile heats, for 500 side,
John F. Staver, the bicyclist, beat
Chehalis, the PAGER, in two straight
heats at Irving track. A bicycle
track five feet in width had been con-
structed but it was far from being a
fast track. The bicycllsts took the
lead fifty feet from the wire and kept
it all the way around in both heats
winning from the horse by more than
a hundred yards in each heat.
Staver's time in the first heat, 9: O2
showed clearly that the horse was out
classed by long odds. Stavers time IN
the second heat was 2 :03 rs. In the
first heat he went to the half in .56.
Chehalis made the first heat in 9 :O9
Sd and the second in 5 :08 fiat, which
is five seconds better than any heat
ever paced in Oregon before.

(: GLOSS0N & kGLLY-:
The Tariff and Our Coal.

Ninety three thousand tons of coal
have been shipped this year under the
Wilson German tariff law from British
Columbia to our own coast markets.
The coal miners of Roslyn, Carbonate,
Wilkeson and other coal centers of this
state have lost the employment that
the mining of this coal should have
furnished them. The mine owners
! have lost the profit on its sale, and the
railroads and their employees have lost
the labor and profit of handling it.
More than this the farmers of Wash
ingtOn have lost the market for their
products that the miners and handlers
OF this amount of coal would have
made for them, and this loss is but the
beginning of the loss that must follow
if this law continues in force, and
British Columbia continues to absorb
the trade of our growing market.
Ninety-three thousand tons of coal
in one year is not much, and yet it
represents in the neighborhood of
quarter of a million dollars, most of
which in one way or another goes to
the labor that produces it and delivers
it to the point of consumption. If
the Wilson-Gorman bill is continued
in force next year, the amount will lie
larger, and the year following still lar
ger. The money will be paid to the
miners of British Columbia and by
them distributed to the farmers of
British Columbia and to other resi-
dents of that territory who handle the
coal and take it to market, while our
own miners will be idle and our own
farmers, railroad men and others will
be deprived of the benefits OF this
trade.
/ What is true of our coal mines is
true also of our lumber trade. The
men employed In both industries must
come to compete with the cheaper la
Dor of British Columbia, so long as
the low tariff is maintained. They
must not only compete with it but see
themselves overcome by it, and as
they are overcome, every interest in
the state is in some measure affected
by the loss.
Just now it is fashionable for demo-
cratic orators of the style of Mr.. Bryan
to descant about the down trodden
American laborers, and about the is
suance of money, and of the tirnes of
Jefferson and such glitter1ng general
tiles, but let every laborer ask this one
pertinent question: GLOW are we to
get this money you are talking about
If we have no work." and he will have
struck the keynote to the situation.
Until that question is answered, there
will be small need of argument as to
whether we have free coinage of silver
or any coinage.
Those people who by their lamorc
think they have unsettled the minds
OF the people of this state, so that they
are going to vote against Mckinley
and protection are reckoning without
; their host, for the people are thinking,
and will continue to think, until No
vember comes, and are not going to be
fooled by all this noise and babble, in
to voting directly against their own
best interests.-Tacoma Ledger.
