Another Pioneer Gone.

The Mitchell, Crook county, Moni-
tor. Of August 2Sth, contains the fol-
lowing: "Mr. Joseph Meadows, after
a short Illness died at his home near
Waldron last Sunday evening. Mr..
Meadows was pioneer of Oregon,
having crossed the plains, we believe,
in the latter part of the forties. He
was in early days prominent in Ore
gon politics and held the Office of
sheriff of Lane county four terms be-
tween 1860 and 1860. He came to
Eastern Oregon about II years ago
and settled on the place where he was
living at the time of his death. His
many friends will learn of his demise
with deep regret.

things to all men that by yall means he

his whiskey for which he had a greater
liking than he did for honesty. He
was last seen on his way toward Coos

is no good. We ask our exchanges to

THE BRYAN CLUBS.

All over Oregon Bryan clubs are
springing ur. These clubs are not
directed by any Portland machine at
all, but are the outgrowth Of genuine
enthusiasm for the able candidate OF
the silver forces, the courageous young
Lochinyar who has come of the west
to overthrow the allied forces Of the
gold standard.
The Bryan clubs have no direction
from any political center and no help
from any barrel. They are incontesti-
BILE evidence that Bryan Is the choice
OF the people as Mckinley has allowed
himself TO be made the choice OF the
machine, the bosses, the syLdicates,
the ofiiclalism and all that is offensive
and obnoxious in the politics of our
country.
Friends of Bryan do well to organize
these clubs. They tend to hold the
opponents OF gold standard together.
II Bryan's forces are not organized
the sharpsIoOters Of the enemy Will
pick Off a man here, man there. The
charmed bullets Of gold are aimed at
the vtals OF many "A voter who is pure
and patriotic, but who may be In
debt, or ambitious for recognition for
some member Of his family. He may
be In business or employment and be
threatened with loss. He may be out
Of work, when the prosperity makers
will promise him steady employment
at 81 a day II Mckinley is elected.
These are old gags but ever em-
ployed to catch votes. Organize Bryan
clubs against the insidlous encroach-
ments Of wealth yoked up with
political corruption. The people are
opposed to that combination.

An Election Bet

DR.. w. d. Baker is an uncOmpro-
missing gold standard Republican. b.
A. Seaborg, formerly Republican, is
now Il free coinage Bryan mau. They
are both confident Of rl1rling their
favorites. On Saturday they came 10
business on the result OF the election.
DIR. Baker wagers $500 that Mckinley
will be the next president. If either
candidate should die during the cam
palgn the wager is void. The money
is up.
If Mr.. Seaborg loses he is to pay Mr..
Baker in gold; II the latter loses the
former will take hls in silver,
This is the first bet of any conse-
quence in Astoria on the national re-
suit.

i'm terms OF commodities over q per
cent in the sixteen years from 1910 10
1891. The increase in the value OF
gold since 1891 has been more rapid
than i'm the years that preceded IT,
The single year of 1893 saw a greater
fall i'm average values of commodities
and a grerter rise in the value OF gold
than any year that had preceded 1t in
a generation, and gold will buy more
today than at any time since the close
of the civil war.
The gold-standard men are com
PEELED to admit the truth OF these
statements. They cannot escape from
the obvious fact that gold will buy
more today than ever before. But
they answer that cheapening of pro-
duction has come from Harvesting the
powers of nature TO the services OF
man. Commodities are cheaper, they
say, because of the advance OF the
advance OF invention, the perfection
Of machinery ana the improvement
of processes. This reply might be OF
effect, were manufactured comodities
and the products Of agriculture the
only articles in which the progress OF
, invention had affected the supply.
. But where has there been greater i'm
provement than in mining and the
machinery for the extraction Of gold?
Gold can be got from the mines today
with less labor than ever before, and
II other industries had remained sta
tionary in the past twenty-five years a
substantial decline in the value OF
gold-or, in other words, II rise OF
prices-must have followed. AS the
improvements In mining machinery
have kept pace with the i'm
provements in other lines and Tho
production Of gold has increased in q
greater ratio than the products Of Tho
average commodities Il fall in the
prices Of commodities is proof Of {
rise in the value of gold.
The rising standard Of gold is q
heavy burden to the industries of the
world, and until it is forsaken for ;
better standard times will be hard
Industry can pay interest on capital
but when IL is asked to pay anothe
one or two or three per cent for ap
. probation OF value Of the dollar 1t Il
going TO be in difficulties. The neeC
of industry is stable standard, ant
that can be furnished better by golC
and silver together than by eithe
gold or silver alone.
Mr.. Bryan's paradox contains tn
plainest of truths. The people OF tn
United States want the best dolla
that can be had, but they want tn
dollar that is best for everybody ant
not the dollar that cinches the cour
try for the benefit of the money lender

More Mining Development


For years IL has been known that
the Blue River mining district was
rich In gold, but II seemed as If IL was
impossible to interest capitalists In
them. AT last daylight is breaking.
English capitalists through the
agency Of Mr.. w. b. Lawler were re-

is TARIEF THE ISSUE1


The Republican national platform
deals with tariff and reciprocity first,
with the money question second. Nc
Kinley shows his political sense by
reversing this order and devotes the
first two.thlrds Of his letter OF accept
ance to the money question. In this
he Ia honester and falrer than his
platform. He has the sense TO know
what no one denies, unless TO his In
terest TO deny, that the tariff is not
before the public and Is not In the
mind OF the people. He knows the
issues between the gold standard and
blmetalllsm. IL is true the Republi-
cans declare for bimetallism by inter-
national agreement, but that will
deceive only those who wish TO be
deceived.
Mckinley knows he cannot as presi'
dent restore the Mckinley tariff oil
reciprocity. lie knows the people de
mand that the money question be set
tied first. His letter admits the tariff
question is not the issue, and that the
money question Is.
