SPECIFIC PROSPERITY.

The Astoria Budget learns that the
$4,000 in gold promised to be spent
on timberc claims along the Columbia
10 the event of McKinley's election
is not forthcoming, and intimates
that IL was only an election fake.
The threat was continually made by
the 'gold politicians" that investors
would not spend any money in popu-
list state and this had great weight
with many voters, who now find that
theinvestors who,bave money TO spend
on timber and timber lands spend It
quite devoid OF political considera-
tions, and that they we're induced TO
vote for a system OF finance that en-
ables the holders Of gold to buy more
than eyer Of land, labor or the pro-
duct OF the same. The Mckinley
campaign Of 1896 will be found in the
end to have been the means Of raising
more expectations only to disappoint
3 en-, than any other school Of pOli-
tics ever opened for the beguilement
OF the masses. The men who will
fail to realize sufficient prosperity to
get them out OF debt, and who will
fail 10 get STEADY employment at
remuneratiye wages" as the McKin-
ley orators 50 gllbly promised will
need ali the nerve and patriotic pres
enc, OF mind possible when they
realize that it was only a snare and
ald rainbow promise TO get their
votes. Specific promises in order TO
carry out program TO enrich the
trusts and corporations will make
more socialists and anarchists than
Mr.. Bryan's party now contains, and
IL contains nearly seven millions ac-
cOr1lng TO the returns and the epith-
cts that continue to be hurled at them.
Nothing but a peaceful revolution
an ] honest return TO a more reason
able state affairs can save our country
from violence growing out Of the
frauds practiced at the last election
In the name of "the honor and integ-
rlty Of the nation There were so
many pots Of gold promised to voters
in various localities, that no amount
of protective and financial legislation
can pacify those who were deceived |
and will be disappointed whatever the
result may be In the way Of increased |
business prosperity. There should be
a law making 1t felony TO promise
a man specific prosperity for his vote.
IL is bribery.

Some one informs the Baker City
Democrat that Wall street capitalists
are back of the senatorial aspiration
OF II. w. Corbett, and that he will

trade or make, can find chance to
dispose OF his vote. But is this not
always the case under our present en-
llghtened SYSTEM
