A Clubbing Offer.

A great many of our readers in Linn
county like to take the Weekly Oregon
ian. We have made arrangements
whereby we can furnish it at reduc-
ton from the regular price to those
who want both the EXPRESS and the
0regonian. The regular price of the
0regonian is $3.50 per year, and Of the
EXPRESS so when in advance. We
will furnish both for 81. per year in
advance, a saving Of one dollar to til,

the general news of the country once
week, and the EXPRESS gives all the
local news once a week, which will
make most excellent news service

Those who are at present subscribers
Of the EXPRESS must pay In all arrear-
ages and one year in advance to obtain
this special price.

his right to vote. II was
learned from the Indians thatthere
were 125 Indian voters in the ST.
letz reservation precinct, Out Of
this number 96 we're avowedly for
vanderburg, while the remaining
IS stood upon doubtful grounds.
The official returns show that Just
two Indians voted for vanderburg,
Does this SAVIOR Of fraud? Does it
bear the earmarks of q free and
honest election? The Indians are
ready to swear that they wanted to,
and believe they did vote for Van
derburg and Yaquina Bay, but
where are the votes to show itY

REMEMBER this, says an ex-
cnange. No peddler does any
thing to help the town. He gives
nothing to schools or churches, or
public enterprises. He pays no
taxes. He has nothing in common
with the people. He can swindle
you-often does, and you can't
help yourself. He has no store
down the street to which you can
return goods that are not up to the
new sample. The itinerant mer-
chant has no reputation to sustain.
He can cheat you with impunity.
The home merchant is and does
different. He bears his share of
the expenses of good government.
When subscription paper is passed
he is the first approached. He
builds a house which enhances the
value of all property. He helps
pay the church in which you wor-
ship, and the school to which you
send your children. He cannot
afford to misrepresent his goods or
swindle you.

THE FIETT-oENT DOLLAR.

The gold standard men, to hol-
ster up this argument to . person
not well acquainted with the mon
ey question, is forever saying;
"Silyer standard countries like
Japan and Mexico are put to dis
advantage in their trade with fore
ign countries on q gold standard,
in which the latter countries are
able to use silver which costs nearly
Fifty per cent less than it did in
1873 in payment for the products
ofsiIver standard countries practic-
ally paying only half as much in
their money for the products ol
silver standard countries as they
paid in 1873" The purpose of this
is of course to show that countries
on gold standard have an advant-
age in dealing with countries on a
silver standard.
The moment a product is in ex-
cess Of the demand of the country
in which it is raised, the market to
which it goes to be sold fixes its
price. The home demand has
nothing to do with it then. To
illustrate: The price of Oregon
wheat is determined BY the con-
sumption abroad for we have an
excess Of wheat over home con
sumption and it goes to Liverpool
for a market. There price is fixed
and it is sold. Its value is measured
in gold, that being the standard of
the market in which it is sold.
The wheat can purchase any other
commodity but the seller prefers
to exchange it for gold. He brings
his gold to Oregon and pays his
debts with it on the gold basis.
The Jap or Mexican does exactly
the same thing but when he pays
his debts he has just 81 to do it
with where the 0regonian had 81
If the statement of the gold stand
ard man quoted above, is correct.
The difference is simply the ap-
probation Of gold due to its selec-
tion as the sole debt paying power.
Measured in products, it has, as
as stated, appreciated about 100
per cent.-McMinnville T.-R.

WHrLE. William Nc Kinnley h

WHILE William Nc Kinnley has
always retained a warm spot in
the hearts of his countrymen Jon
account Of his tariff views which
are eminently American, it is to be
feared that his attempt to stand on
the latest Republican platform so
far as it relates to the financial
question will act in the nature of q
wet cloth to his pretentions. His
popularities more nearly conform
10 that Of James g. Blaine than
any other man now within the
public eye. But unlike MIR. Blaine,
Mr.. Mckinley lacks much Of our
dead statesman's political sagacity
and mastery understanding of all
public questions. Were James G.
Blaine alive today his voice would
be raised in the interest of the peo-
ple. 1t was he who spoke more
pronouncedly than any Of the rest
who participated in the demonetiza-
tion Of the silver act Of 1873, and
he would not today be found stand
ing in an attitude approving the
acts Of a conspiracy whose mission
Of sorrow has only just began. 1t
needs no pessimist to detect and
picture the ravages thus far made
by the despicabla piece Of legisla-
tion here alluded to, for the
Strengthened circumstances and
abject poverty Of the millions speak
louder than words. In the hearts
Of Americans every feeling akin to
sympathy should be banished
when it comes to voting for a man
who represents or stands for the
single gold standard -Tomahawk.

A FAMILIAR word around the
theatre is "deadhead," and it is
doubtful Of many people know from
which the word came. A man
happened to come across the origin
in a curio store in Rome. Among
the many things Of interest we're a
number Of small skulls, the size Of
hickory nuts, and in asking what
they were, was told that in Rome,
Of years ago, these small skulls
we're used as passes by the favored
few, and from the stately Roman
we got the slang word, @deadhead." !"

SHERMAN AND FORAKER
Formally Open the Republican Campaign
in Ohio.

COLUMBUS, Aug. 1.-THE opening meet
ing of the Republican state campaign,
which was held in this city on Saturday,
was II great success in point of numbers
and enthusiasm. The crowd of strangers
in the city was variously estimated at from
1900 to 10000
From o'clock in the morning up until
2 o'clock, the hour of the meeting, tho
streets were filled with bands of music
and marching delegations
The meeting was held in large tent on
East Broad street, and when Governor
Bushnell, as presiding officer, called tho
vast assemblage to order there were 10000
people there. The heat was intense, and
there were several prostrations, but no
fatalities.
When Governor Bushnell introduced
Senator Sherman the senator was given
an ovation. That extended to Senator
elect Foraker, who followed him, was
equally cordial and enthusiastic. General
Steward j.. WoodfOrd, of New York, also
spoke, and replied in part to William J.
Bryan's speech of acceptance, which he
heard in New York.
General Woodford was greeted with an
immense audience at the night meet
ing, when he delivered another speech,
and as he represented the views of the
east on the financial question he was given
the closest attention, Lieutenant Cover
nor Jones presided at the night meeting
