THE VISION.

Yes, perchance it was but a fancy,
Or it may have been dream j:
But it taught a lifelong lesson 80
And I ne'er forget the theme. - -:-, ~.
Twas just when the shades of evening
Had vanquished the setting sun;
I sat alone in the cleaning,
When work Tor the day was done.
I was worn, and sad, and weary,
And unto myself I said:
"Life for me has been so dreary,
Would, ah would that I were dead
Surely life is not worth living,
There is naught but sorry here,
Clouds without the Silver lining
Gather round me everywhere.
GLOW can life be worth the living
Bow'd beneath load of care?
| have darkest shadows always
Der my pathway-hear my prayer
Give me sunshine, sunshine ever,
Give me all that I desire,
Give me rest, with flowers to cheer me,
Then of life ] shall not tire.''
Gathering round me in the cleaning,
Came band of spirits fair;
And their voices sweet and mellow,
Fell like music on the air:
Mortal, cease this vain repining,
All is ordered we'll for thee;
In the darkest hour remember
AS thy days thy strength shall be.
Thou wouldst have the sunshine al
ways,
Sunshine all amlxed with showers
Foolish one hast thou forgotten
Rain must fall to bring the flowers?
Thou wouldst have the sunshine al
ways,
Not cloud must cross thy sky?
Then the flowers, the birds, nay, all
things,
For thy selfishness must die.
If God gave thee all thou asked for,
That of lite thou didst not tire:
Thou wouldst find that He had cursed
thee,
Cursed thee with thy hearts desire.
Learn contentment, peace will follow,
Then the sun will shine for thee;
Think OF self no more, 'tis promised,
AS thy days thy strength shall be-
Selfish mortal, thank thy maker
That for thee it is allowed,
Sunshine now and then to mingle
With the dark ard sombre cloud.
Henceforth cease thy vain replnings,
With contentment cometh rest,
Learn that God in dealing with thee,
Knoweth what for the is BEST"
That was all-the vision loft me,
But within my weary breast,
Peace her silver wings had folded
There to dwell In perfect rest.
From my heart the load had fallen,
All the earth seemed bright and fair
From that hour I've found blessing
In each burden that I bear.
I have learned to thank "Our Father"
That for me it is allowed,
Sunshine now and then to mlngIe
With the dark and sombre cloud;
Never more my heart grows troubled,
Ne'er by care am [ oppressed,
For I know in dealing with me,
God knows what for me is best.

EXPORTING GOLD.

Banker Mccormack as state central
committeeman, with four able Repub-
llcan officials, has been using his per-
suaslve influence TO enable the city,
county and state officials to pungle up
$4,000 in gold for export.
This gold is TO be exported TO Port
land to swell the 100000 campaign
fund being raised there TO carry Ore
gon for Mckinley and avert the awful
disaster Of an independent American
financial system. 1t is in accord with
the policy of the single gold standard
to export gold. 1t is fortunate the
Capital City has persons who can
pungle the auriferous.
Salem Is the only city in Oregon
outside OF Portland that has any gold
10 export, and the only class who can
supply II are those who first draw II
out Of the public treasury. The bank
ers and Mr.. Geer's poor have no money
to spare. But Salem has never
ceasing free coinage of $4,000 to s75,'
900 a month from the public treasury
through the public institutions. But
we give solemn warning that, while
the gold from the public taxes enricheS
those who get 1t, $4,000 to s75, 900 a
month from the quartz mines Of this
county under free coinage would
absolutely ruin us!

SALEM, Aug. 26.
ED. JOURNALS. see by the States
man this morning that the gold stan
dard crew are getting down to their
work by appealing to the preachers to
stay by the big purchasing dollar, as
they say that free silver will cut their
wages in two.
1t is TO be hoped that the followers
of the meek and lowly Savior will APP
preciate this appeal to them to serve
Mammon in these times Of great dis
tress.
Probably the failure OF Brother
Grannis to answer one Of his flock as
to the Sunday question between
Bryan and Mckinley, suggested this
appeal to the teachers of the meek
and anti-mammon creed. If 80, for
one am willing to give Brother Gran
mis- due credit for catching on so
quickly to the true inwardness Of
things.

The Situation in Michigan.

A Michigan correspondent of the
New York Evening Post writes as
follows to that paper regarding the
political situation in the Badger state;
" | feel far from easy over the sit
uation in this state. In 1892 our vote
for Harrison was 222, ,7Os, for Cleve-
land POP, ,596, for Weave 1892. A
union OF the Cleveland and Weaver
vote would have come within a few
hundred Of earring the state against
Harrison. This year the democrats,
the popullsts and new silver party
vote will undoubtedly combine on
Bryan and be reinforced by the vote
of many silver republicans, which, on
the basis of the vote In 1892, would
sweep the state against Mckinley.
My opportunity for observation Is
limited and may be badly mistaken,
but so far see but little in the man
agement of the republican party to
inspire confidence. Like Mckinley
and Hanna, the original intention
was to dodge the currency issue and
fight the campaign on the old fetish
OF the tariff; and when forced sudden
and Unexpectedly to meet the money
question the managers are about as
helpless as driver behind runaway
horses with both hands too numb
with cold TO grasp the reins.
"To enunciate u gold platform and
then place astride the party's back
for governor a free silver, single tax
ignorant, cranky quack like Pingree
renders the situation ridiculous. The
republican party is also badly handi-
capped by its press. The Detroit
Tribune, arrogantly assuming to be
the leading republican paper OF the
state, is as is the Evening News,
published by the same syndicate
rabdly free silver. The combine own
ing these journals has recently pur-
chased the Grand Rapids Democrat,
the most influential democratic paper
in the state outside of Detroit, which
OF course enthusiastically supports
Bryan. The journal, Of Detroit, so far
fails entirely to deal with the finance
issue in the way the situation de-
mands. without second democratic
ticket sustained and pushed l fear foI
the result"

MITCHELL AT WOODBURY..

Senator Mitchell will begin TO build
his railroad TO the planet Mars and to
swing Oregon into line for Mckinley
and Hobart at Woodburn September
4th, the day before the Bryan ratili-
cation at Salem. lie will not like Mr.
Geer seek to put down the silver craze,
but will throw himself into tie cam
paign on his prestige as Il United
States senator and on his personal
popularity as lifelong free coinage
man, as the pioneer champion of inde-
pendent American blmetallism, as the
staunch opponent of international BIZ
metallism, in other words, that he is
as good a friend and advocate of the
white metal as he ever was
We do not deny to Senator Mitchell
the right TO construe the st. Louis
platform on which Major Mckinley is
nominated TO bc silver platform-it
favors bimetallism and wants TO usher
In the era of free coinage about the
second coming of our Saviour, when IL
will be too late TO do many Of us any
good!
Perhaps he will say with Senator
Wilson Of Washington ~ crawled
onto the st. Louis platform the min
ute IL was constructed" He will
will never say he stands on 1t. He |
never say he will walk on it, up
rightly with both feet, he will have to
lie on II and crawl on IL on his belly! |
or course, Senator Mitchell hopes
to win support for the Mckinley plat
form among tie Republican advocates
of free coinage and among the free
coinage Democrats and PopuliSts, by |
that the st. Louis plat
form is really free coinage platform.
IL is all mistake Of Harvey Scott
and John Sherman and Mckinley rep
resentlng that it means the single
gold standard. Mckinley stands for
free silver! Oh tempore, oh mores!
oh rats!
