SILVER AND THE REPUBLICAN
PARTY.

when the present editor OF The
JOURNAL came to Oregon in 1889 he
found the leading Republicans were
bimetalIists, and in 1890, the hrst
campaign we took part in, the party
adopted platform Of free coinage at
the ratio of IS TO J, and gave its rea-
aons therefor. 1t was little queer
to our taste, but we got accustomed
TO il all the easier when a Republican
congress passed the bill to coin all the
silver then produced In the United
States. four and a-half millions a
month. and President Harrison signed
IT.. Mckinley made speech in con-
eress in favor of free coinage.
The next fall we we're In Nortn
Dakota and found Senator Hans
brouVh. a Republican, making free
silver speeches, and we mace argu-
ments there against the Populist
party, saying that the Republican
marty stood for bimetallism and was a
free coinage party in Oregon.
And this continued until 1896, when
we helped make the fight for MI
Mitcbell's return to the senate on his
silver record. lie encouraged the
Silver Republicans OF the state to DO
that. aud wrote them that not for
ATTY elections to the senate would he
compromise his silver Views. Then
ne made his deal with Mark Hanna
and came TO help carry Oregon on the
St. Louis platform, which he declared
WAS a silver platform, and the Repuo-
lican party was as good silver party
as IL had ever been, and that was
good enough for him.
Well, the sincere Silver Republicans
did not believe that, and refused to be
canoht ON that kind Of bait, out
went out like men of principle and
conyiction and supported Mr.. Bryan
opeply. rather than be parties to a
fraud and stultify themselves ana
yomit up all that Mr.. Mitchell and
the Republican party had taugn'
thcn to belIeye was true and sound
ON the subject OF bimetallism, even
though MIR. Mitahell might do So
and then turn around dog-like and
eat his own vomit.
And the sincere Silver Republican,
and sincere silver men, though they
had been pledged to support him ano
elect him United States senator, ie
yardless Of party showed Mr.. Mitchei
that they could not be barteied ant
SOLD. aud neither could their prlnci
Mes. and they Joined with his sincer'
gold men and saw to 1t that such
double-faced fraud was not continued
in the United States senate. NOV
that is the history of the assassina
tlon OF silver IN the state OF Oregon
and it's deathblow was delivered by ltd
most loud-mouthed advocate. But
liver win have resurrection.

LYMAN AND THE BOOK CO.

1t is especially to be regretted that
Lyman for state superintendent
though running far ahead, neverthe-
less went down 10 the late political
land slide. The "American Book Co. T"
rejoices, of course. -Langlols Reporter
Mr., Ackerman, the Republican can
didate for state superintendent, t,stren-
uously denied that he was In any way
the representative or candidate OF the
American Book Go. The county
superintendent Of schools, and County
Supt. Jones of Marion county de-
clared during the canvass as Repuoli
cans that IL they thought Ackerman
was an American Book Co. candidate
they would not support him, All the
Republican papers of the state, and
even the Oregonian, which has always
fought the American Book Co, and
probably always will fight 1T, declared
that Mr.. Ackerman would not become
their representative IL elected, Mr.,
Lyman as the Union candidate forced
this fight and deserves credit for
compelling the Republican Leaders to
dlsown the trust and its methods.
Mr.. Lyman aroused interest In this
question among voters Of all parties,
whether Oregon is getting .as good
textbooks In her public schools and
and getting them as cheaply as your
sister states. 1t remains to be seen
whether the Republican representa-
tions as to Mr.. Ackerman prove true
or false. The best element OF Repub'
icans want the textbook business run
In The interest of the common schools,
and not the schools for the benefit of
the trust.

JOE LETTER.

Eight Millions.

Tells The Journal How It Feels to Lose
Eight Millions.
As we used to know Joe Letter, of
Chicago when he was a kid we
thought we would just like to know
how It felt to lose eight million dol
lars day so we asked him by wire to
tell us all about it.
A gre 1t many men know how it feels
to lose eighty cents, or a pocketbook
that contains the rent money, or tt
lose a friend who has your name on
his note for a couple of hundred and
hear the minister tell Of all his Won
lerful virtues after he has gone where
you can't get service on him.
But Joe says to lose cent a bushel
on "a, 4,O00,O 900 bushels of wheat means
s24O, 900 at jump. 1t went down ten
cents in one day and Joe says he could
just feel the money going out Of hln
like creased lightning to the tune OF
81, 400, GOO in "a hours,
Joseph in Egypt wasn't a circum'
stance to this Joseph OF Chicago. The
famous wheat deal recorded in the
scripture with the Pharaohs wasn't
done on wind, but was an actual de-
livery, insight, spotcash or go.hun'
CRY affair. Captain Potiphar'ss wife
sympathized with joseph in Egypt
and wanted to give him lift. But
In the Chicago case Mrs. Letter came
home from Washington, cancelled all
her engagements, pawned all hel
diamonds and all her daughters dia'
monds and helped her husband in the
squeeze.
But it was no use, says Joe. 81
dropped SS,000,000 between the last
day of May and that unlucky 18th OF
june" We Immediately wired
sympathy collect, and offered to extend
the ONE CENT DAILY month on
tick to our old friend in his deer
trouble, He wired back: "No eXten-
sion needed. l never saw the wheat
never had it; never saw the eight
million, never had them; so don't
feel the loss so badly as another mar
would to lose his dinner or two-bit
piece"
Speculation is funny business, Yor
make what you never see. You LOST
what you never had, and you owl
what never existed.

REPUBLICANS LUCK.
East Oregonian, Dem:)

East Oregonian, Dem:)
A lucky star has hovered oyer the
Republican party since early In 1895.
First, victory came narrowly to 1t 10
the fall of that year. In power, its
every act has been given strength In
unexpected ways. The party passed
after a drought laid waste the
tariff lblll, .fayoring wool and soun
ranges of Australia, sheep in that
country dying by thousands and thou
sands. At once there was an in
creased demand for wool and better
prices, and the whole result was at
tributed to the "bene6cence Of the
Republican tariff" "by all the sheep'in
The United States, as well as by a
large number of people.
Then came famine and pestllence In
India and a stronger demand and
a good price for wheat In consequence.
The Republican party was given the
credit for the result. 1t was "such a
good thing" TO the American farmer +!
This was followed by a "short crop"
In all wheat growing countries, except
Ia the United States, where the crop
was never better. The price mounted
up, the farmer pocketed large profits,
shared them generously with other
people, aud prosperity spread from one
end OF the land TO the other. The
Republicans "advance agent OF pros
lty" at once appesfad upon the scene
aud, with the art of Merlin, made the
people believe that 1t was all due TO
Mckinley, the grand old Republican
party aud che gold standard.
When on top OF this came the war;
lots OF government money TO put In
circulation, and patriotism and senti-
ment we're added to luck on the Re
publican banner, aud all the benefit
flowing from the trinity were claimed
as the fruits OF putting Republicans
only on guard.
The result was TO be expected the
people 10 Oregon shut both eyes aud
voted for Republican wisdom" as
given expression TO ia national affairs
by that party's statesmen, inclnning
! Mark Hanna, who paid the full
market price for a senatorship re-
Gently Ia Ohio.
Daily capital journal. (Salem, Or.) 1896-1899, 1898-06-20

the Mexican war conslgred the old
whig party TO the sleep that knew no
waking.
The Federalist party was literally
wiped from the face OF the earth as
the price Of its antagonism to the war
OF 1912.
But there was no opposition in this
campaign anywhere TO the war
against Spain, Ia fact Mckinley was
forced to take forward position by the
clamor of Democrats and Popullsts,
against the opposition Of Reeds
6ouse; yet, the war had great
influence In favor of the Republicans
In this state, lest, as stated above,
verdict adverse TO the Republicans,
should be construed as a condemna-
tion Of the inauguration Of the war at
all. Therefore the Republican vic
tory on June 6, is in no sense a
decisive endorsement of the British
gold standard by our people.
