The Salem Statesman has the sub
lime assurance TO say on Sunday:
"Nearly tw ice as many dollars can be
had, on an average, for the wages OF
labor, as were secured in the same
way twenty-five years ago. So that
the man owing mortgage can pay
off the principal of IL IN about half
the time that he could twenty-five
years ago" THE JOURNAL will give
a twenty dollar gold piece TO any
laboring man who Will say that he be-
lieyes the above statement to be true
and at the same time prove by his
nelghbors that he Is not insane.
Let us see, what were wages twenty
five years agoY That was in 1871. The
Salem Statesman says they are double
now what they were then. In 1871
the man in the harvest fields got $3.50
a day. The carpenter got $500 a day.
The farm hand got $4,000 month aud
board. III the Statesman says true,
the same labor must get double those
sums now. And we have had pro-
tectiVe tariff ever since, until two
years ago the 28th OF August, 1896.
Why can't the Statesman pay its
mortgages

The Salem Statesman scOlds a
wooden mill owner for opening up
his woolen mill before Mckinley is
elected. 1t says: "If Mckinley
should happen to be defeated, those
manufacturers who are starting up
their plants so briskly would feel
cheaper than Bryan dollar" Some
time ago the Statesman said the
wooden mills would not start up until
Mckinley was elected. The fact is
woolen mills are running all over the
country under the Wilson tariff, and
the price of wool is going up. The
woolen mills will probably be glad
enough to take the dollars of any class
Of people and will not draw the line
at Mckinley people. Other peoples
dollars are quite as honest and as
much entitled to respect as Mckinley
dollars. OF cource, the Statesman
will not be expected to take "Bryan
dollars"

Tue McKinleyites are resorting to
extreme measures to carry Oregon.
They are sending some of their aLlest
orators into the most remote pre-
cincts. NJ. C.GeOrge, j. f. Caples, Til
mon Ford and even Senator Mitchell
are sent to talk to crowds Of ten or
twelve voters, at points where the
Bryan campaign committee, for want
of means, cannot send anyone to re-
ply to them, Thos. II. Tongue is max
lag a personal canvass OF each voter
in Klamath county, where no speaker
can be sent to reply to him for want
OF funds in the Bryan camp. None Of
these gentlemen dare argue the Nc
Kinley gold standard before an audi
ence where the other side is allowed p
speaker, but by Misrepresentation Of
of the facts and issues of the cam
paign and by personal appeals to party
spirit they hope to deceive men who
cannot hear both sides Of the ques-
tion,Into voting for the gold standard
which these orators dare not defend
before any audience in the state.
With Mark Hanna's machine each
class is singled out for special ltPra-
ture that appeals to its most selfish
interest Each county is spending
about- $4,000 in this work. The
state committee has 100000 to spend.
BY the above kind of cowardly BUSH
whacking canvass, that dare not come
out in open public discussion, they
hope to carry Oregon. The Bayan
speakers should everywhere challenge
debate and show up these methods of
deception.
