CLOSING THE CAMPAIGN.
The Bryan Rally Simply Immense
Mckinley Ladies Meet.

THE HURLEY MEETING.
The Bryan forces of this city closed
the campaign very successfully last
night with a rousing and enthusiastic
meeting in the armory. 1t was the
largest meeting of the campaign. I'm
like most such meetings, voters were
largely in the majority, stur-
DIV voters in great numbers be-
ing in attendance. 1t was by far the
most enthusiastic meeting of the CAM
paign and many converts were re-
ceived into the fold, even though it
was the eleventh hour. The ATTEMPTS
Of few sore-headed "sound-money"
men, among whom we're "Doc" Keene,
Art Shulse, Walter Davis and Others,
proved ineffective.
Lively campaign songs were
given by the Ladies Bryan choir
that was greatly appreciated as
was evident from the applause grant
ed each selection. Maj. d. G. Sher-
man acted as chairman of the meet
ing IN his usual pleasing manner, and
introduced Judge M. A. Hurley, Of
San Francisco, who gave an address
of two hours length, which was one Of
the most able ever given in this city.
1t was a warmhearted, enthusiastic
and patriotic talk from one of the
common people and appealed to every
listener. The audience was held SPELL
bound during the delivery of the
talk.
At its conclusion the Ladies' Bryan
choir favored the audience with an
other selection.
Mrs. r. II. Leabo, in neat presen-
tation speech, in behalf of the Salem
Ladies' Bryan club, presented Judge
Hurley with beautiful bouquet OF
yellow and white Chrysanthemums,
significant of the grand principle ad-
vocated by the Bryan party. In a
few happy remarks, Judge Hurley re-
sponded, expressing his hearty thanks
for the gift, and assuring the Salem
ladies it would be carried with him to
his California home.
Thus ends an honest campaign ON
the part of the Bryan party, which
has been accompanied by most salts
tory results. The Second Regiment
band rendered good service.
M'KINLEY MEETING.
Last evening at the opera house the
Ladies' Mckinley club gave a fare
we'll rally, and it was well attended
by the ladies, young and old, as we'll
as good sprinkling of men. Good
music was had, and the speech of the
evening was that Of Mrs. RE. Wands
the popular G. A. r. lady of Hampden
Park. Mrs. Wands forcibly showed
up the disloyal elements of the Bryan
party and paid patriotic tribute to
Mr.. Mckinley and the gold standard
party. No doubt Mrs. Wands ex
pressed the sentiments of her party
in likening delegates at the Chicago
convention to jeff Davis, as her every
remark was applauded. On the whole
this'last meeting Of the Mckinley
party was q success, and the ladies
club is entitled to great credit for it

AT LIBERTY.

Col. Robt j. Hendricks, of the re-
form school, last evening spoke at Lii
b9rty school house four miles south Of
Salem. When crowded by the Bryan
men he insisted that he favored the
initiative and referendum, he favored
the income tax, he favored the aboli-
tion of national banks, and insisted
that he was opposed to all trusts and
combines. After good cheer for Nc
Kinley by the few present, the Bryan
men gave three rousing cheers and a
tiger for their candidate.

farmers wagons or afoot and before
noon it was evident heavy vote was

THE MORAL IS PLAIN.

A few days ago the property and
franchise of the Chicago Rapid Transit
company was sold at public auction
from the steps Of the court house in
that city. Despite the fact that the
company was closed out under bank
ruptcy proceedings It had nearly $780,
900 in cash in its treasury derived from
It's earnings. How came 1t to be
closed and sold under bankruptcy pro-
ceedings? The answer is plain, and it
points a moral.
Before the sale the court fixed upon
81, 900, 900 as fair estimate of the
value of the property. But the Chica.
90 Rapid Transit company had stocked
end bonded the property for S2O,OOO,-
o. O. five times its value. This SIG, 900,
OOt OF watered stock was unloaded
upon the people, and then the projec-
tors pocketed the proceeds and awaited
the final collapse. They knew that it
was impossible for them to pay inter
est and dividends upon this watered
stock, and they never intended to try.
They made their money of the people
who bought the stocks and bonds

should lose all they had invested. This
Chicago case is, but repetition of sim
liar cases all through the west, except
that in tho case of western roads
freight rates are placed high enough
to pay dividends and interest. The
watering of western railroad stock is,
as rule, as high as in the case of tho
Chicago company. The gold standard
organs point to the fact that railroad
bonds are payable in gold and claim
that under free silver these roads
would be bankrupted by the enor-
nous premium that would be put upon
silver. The fact of the matter is that
nearly one-third Of the railroad mile
age of the United States is now in tho
hands of receivers. Why is this? Be-
cause these railroads have watered the
stock to such a degree that it is an inn
possibility for them to pay interests
and devidends. And the gold standard
press is seeking to lead the people who
have to pay freight rates to voting for
system that will enable these great
corporations topay dividends on stocks
that are three-fourths water.
The Chicago company invested S4,-
900, 900 and bilked the people of the
country out ofSl6, 900, 900. That is the
kind of financiering that the gold
standard advocates ask the people to
condone. But it Is the kind of finan-
ciering that Claude Duval was hanged
for engaging in, and just such finan-
ciering brought Jack Sheppard to the
hangman's moose. These eminent
knights of the road were honest men
compared with the men who sell
heavens pure and free air and the
earth's free water under the guise of
railroad stocks. Omaha World-Her-

Can the farmer be helped by the free
coinage silver? No, forever no my
fellow citizens We cannot be helped
because if the nominal price of grain
were to raise through an imitation of
the currency, the price of everything
else would rise also, and the farmer
would be relatively no better off than
he was before. He would get no more
real value for his grain than he gets

frat notcs.issued payable in gold. Thd
Tribune replies as follows:
The Philadelphia paper which stated
that the treasury notes issued to the
banks in this transaction were redeem
able in gold meant simply that they
would be voluntarily redeemed by the
government in gold on presentation,
not that payment in gold was express
ed ON their face. There is no law ex-
listing under which any national obi
cations can be made in terms payable
in gold, and none are so payable, ex-
cepting OF course gold certificates,
which can hardly be called government
obligations, because they simply rep
resent an equal amount of gold held
on deposit by the government
President Cleveland urged upon con-
gress the making of the recent issues
bonds payable in gold, but congress-
did not dare to even seriously consider
the proposition. 1t remained for the
national convention of the Republican
party to interfere between the nation
and its creditors and pledge the party
to the changing of our contract obliga-
tions in favor of the creditors.
We would like to have some goldite
authority tell us how the parity be-
tween silver dollars aud gold was
maintained from 1878 until 1890. There
was no parity pledge in any act of
Congress prior to 1890, and vet silver
dollars were just as good as gold dur
ing all that period. The coinage Of
standard silver dollars between 1873
and 1890 amounted to about $50, 900, 900
and less than 5O,OOO,OO9 have been
coined since 1890, SO that it must be
evident that parity was just as well
maintaied before this clause was en-
acted as it has been since. Prior to
1890 and ever since, silver certificates
have been redeemable in silver dollars
only, and yet silver certificates have
always remained at perfect parity
with all other forms of money. II must
DO evident, therefore, that neither the
parity clause Of the act of 1890, nor
any other legislation, save and except
the coinage act which authorized the
coinage Of standard silver dollars and
made them full legal tender for all
monetary uses, had anything to do
with the parity between silver dollars
and gold. A free coinage act now
would simply provide for the issue Of
more standard silver dollars exactly
like those we already have, and as
they would all be full legal tender at
their face value for all debts, both pub
lie and private, they would surely re-
main at q parity with gold without
any bogus pledge on the part of the
government to maintain parity. If
silver dropped to discount of rs per
cent, as compared with gold, to.mOr-
row, the government would donothing
to make good the loss suffered by the
holders of such coins; but discount
ON silver is practical impossibility so
long as our standard dollars are
clothed with the full legal tender
function, and hence the pretense that
either the parity clause or imaginary
redemption has anything to do with
the existing equality of silver dollars
and gold is both false and foolish

They posed as lords and as ladies fair.
And folks of a high degree.
For life looks fair at the break OF day,
With little of work and much of play,
And all Is possble--so they say
When the heart. when the heart Is young
The morning changed to the heat of noon.
And then to the twilight chilli
The children wearied OF high life soon,
And uuarreied. as children will.
But they ran away home in the fading
light,
TO sob out their wrongs ere they said good
night,
And the m,ttsr the mother mpss ..:l
things right:
For their hearts. oh. their hearts were
young.
And we need not sorrow, as years roll on,
II the hopes that have ceased to be
But bring us. when passion and youth are
gone.
To the truth at the Fathers knee;
Who hushcth us up. when our prayers are
said.

To awaken again wheu the night has fed
Where the heart will be always young.
