HALF THE DUTY,

but denuncation is only half the duty;
the other half is to place the responsible

off and the truth should be spoken The
responsibility was> not upon the outlaw
who fired the shot. He was the product
of corruption as much as his revolver

A GOLD BASIS.

| We have noticed much comment in
! newspapers and by campaign speakers
and others about banks and bankers, and
also about what the banks may pay their
depositors.
If the country should go to a silver
basis, it will no doubt cause depression
and stagnation in business. but it seems
to me that all other kinds of business
will feel it worse than banks. We be.
lieve that bankers intend to perform
their moral and honest duty. We be-
lievs that banks on the Pacific coast,
which have been managed to that end,
can pay their depositors in gold no
matter who is elected president. On the
Pacific coast the loans due the banks are
made payable i'll U. S. gold coin and
those banks carry their reserves in gold,
which enable them to pay in gold.
Since the agitation, we have had op-
portunity to talk with several leading
bankers of Oregon OH that subject and
when the question was mentioned they
indicated their intention to pay their Gus
toners in gold. During the civil war of
the rebellion in the United States, when
greenLacks were deprecated, the banks
of the Pacific coast paid to their depos-
itors gold when gold had been depos-
tied We are certain that the First Ma
tional bank of Corvallis has placed itself
in condition to do so and will continue to
pay its depositors i'll gold no matter who
shall be elected president.

INDEPENDENCE.

We are free and independent
nation. If we desire a policy
wise and advisable for ourselves,
we will adopt it without await
ing the consent of any other
power on earth.
When the republican party
declares for free coinage of silver
through international agreement,
it declares for national indepen-
dence, not national dependence,
as the Bryan men assert. 1t does
not mean. as many think, that
this country will adopt free coin
age when other powers let us,
but that it will adopt free coinage
of silver only when the other
powerful nations do. The re-
publican party insists that all the
great civilized governments shall
share the responsibility with lis
that this government shall not
take all the chances when the
world is ready to share any re-
sulting benefit. The republican
platform is truly patriotic.
The republican party does not
propose that the world, even.
shall adopt free coinage of silver
at a false, fictitious ratio. The
combined nations can no more
change natural law than can the
United States alone. But the
nation can ascertain the true
market ratio. Many contend
that international free coinage
is inpracticable because even
general free coinage of gold and
silver would not prevent the
market from auctuating. But
ali wise men consider it unsafe
for this nation to act as the hnan-
cial experimental field for the
whole world.

PROTECTION DENOUNCED.

Protectionists should not forget that on the
goth of March, 1892, when Senator Perkins was
defending the sugar bounty in the interests of the
production of our own sugar, Mr. Bryan declared
that he was opposed to the sugar Bounty and also
to all kinds of protection and went on to say:
1.-THE difference between a protective tariff and
bounty, is simply difference in form. 1t is the
difference between the man who meets you on the
highway, knocks you down and takes what you
have. and the man who steals into your house in
the night while you are asleep and robs you of
your treasure. And if | had to make a choice
Of the two, | should consider the highway rob-
ber the more honorable" And while you remem
Der all this and very much more like it, do yau
know that the man who, in Congress, placed
us on the level with the pickpoakets and high
way robbers, has met with any change of heart
i'm his estimate of US?

A SOLDIER OF FREE SILVER.

A soldier of free silver lay dying on the
plain;
The crimson tide was cbbing from his pop
ulistic veins.
A comrade knelt beside him to wipe the
gore away,
And also, incidentally, to hear what he
might say.
The silver warrior blubbercd as he said in
accents low,
Like my ffty-three-cent dollars from this
land soon shall go.
But would send some messages to distant
friends of mine.

doubt
But alas! I won't be sin ~ when the votes
are counted out.
I long to see the other land where all our
troubles cease,
To share some silver paradise with Mary

| To see on PETERS Blessed beard the radiant
sunlight shine,
| As it shines on distant Salem near the In
jeanny line.
Tell Jones, VINO got me in this scrape, to add
unto his pelf,
To crawl behind some chicken coop and
gently kick himself;
To whisper unto Tilman, with the South
Carolina eye,
To fall upon the pitchfork quick and like a
Roman die.
Upon free silver battlements which now the
foemen hold.
Go hang my borrowed crown of thorns-
my stolen cross of gold.

But no one would believe me Oh the Injean-

There's ano.her-not a sweetheart-he will

You'll know him by the crimson rag that

When Mckinley goes to Washington. with

But when the cold frost dallies with the

His voice grew faint and fainter, till he failed
to raise his head,
And the soldier of free silver on the battle
field lay dead.
The comrade gently closed his eyes and
I breathed prayer so low,
And on them laid two dollars that were
coined in Mexico.
The golden moon rose slowly and winked a.

Upon the ghastly battle plain, with silver
wreckage strewn,
But proudly ON sound moneys spears hel

And Salem was forgotten, near the Injean

REFLECT.

Shall we break down the bar
riers? Is license preferable to
law and liberty? Candid, think
ing men cannot fail to recognize
the spirit that is now protesting
against existing conditions? 1t
is socialism, operating on def
mite lines. 1t is discomfort, inn
patience, manifesting itself.
Because the laws of nature have
been inexorable and sometimes
severe, the laws of man are at
tackled.
A mere difference of opinion
as to the best financial system
could never call into being the
tremendous conflict we are wit
Messing. Free silver is simply
used as a rallying cry of those
who are against the government.
The support Of the populist par
ty establishes this. The popu-
list does not believe in metallic
money, and yet he is avowedly
demanding the use of more silt
yer. The attempt on the par
of Mr.. Bryan to divide the peo-
of the U. S. into classes and to
array section against section, has
no connection with finances. He
is prompted by that spirit whose
fuller manifestation is called an
arcy.
Mr.. Bryan election would not
destroy the government. We
would still have law. But his
election would feed the flames
that his speeches fan. 1t would
be a victory for the lawless, for
the revolutionist We must not
deny from ourselves the existence
of society destroyers. They are
active and relentless. They are
ready to sieze upon any advan-
tage. This element is actively
supporting Mr.. Bryan and it is
not difficult to understand why.
Mr.. Bryan's campaign is an
attack upon success. His
speeches appeal to the improvi-
dent and the unfortunate. Is
this not true? He is not nalev-
olent, perhaps. He is rather an
enthusiast. But his social ideas
are not the less dangerous for
that. Is success wrong? Is legal
restraint wrong? Is freedom
from social law desirable?
You grow indignant at the
term anarchist, fellow citizen, as
applied to Organism, because you
support Bryan, and yet believe
in the 1naintainance of law and
order. Yet if you vote for Bry-
an, you vote for all he repre-
sents. Your vote will encour.
age the lawless who vote fo1
Bryan because they hate law and
order. The right of suffrage
carries with it a grave response.
bility. You cannot be just to
yourself and your country
and willfully blind yourself
to the real condition that
confronts us. Party loyalty is
no excuse-devotion to free sill.
yer is no excuse. Your vote
may wreck the nation. The
reason for your vote will not be
of the slightest avail to save it.
