The People and the President.

Down deep in their hearts the people
expect that the President will pursue such
a policy as will drive Spain from this hem
isphere and bring Cuba, Porto Rico, Ha-
waii and the Philippines under American
control. They feel that he must be adroit
and diplomatic, but whatever comes they
expect him to be resolute. But to be sue
cessful the President must have the peo-
ple with him. Leaders in his own party
or in the opposition may not hesitate to
embarrass him to secure some slight tech
meal advantage, but if the people, keeping
in mind the policy that is to advance the
United States to her proper place among
the great powers of the world, support the
President his programme will become
deeds and history. No man since Mon
roe, has promised SO much for the future
wealth, safety and glory of this great re-
public. With the assistance of the people,
no man will have accomplished more for
Americans in this century than William
Mckinley. Hold up his hands; respond
to his. call; support him; and earn for him
and the nation of to-day the unstinted
praise and gratitude ofthe America of the
twentieth century.-Chicago" In ter Ocean

Exposed by It's Friends.

The actual cost of the silver bullion In
the treasury of the United States was S97,-
453, 1926. But the coinage value OF that
bullion is S139, 453, 425. The difference
between the cost of the bullion and its
coinage value is what they call seiginor-
age and that is whatit is proposed to coin.
We are surprised that the silver people
have pressed this point,for inso doing they
have shown up the silver cause in a most
unfavorable light
They are impressing the fact that the
government has bought for S97 1853, 1926,
enough silver to make 199 ,453, 425 silver
dollars. And even at that the govern
ment drove very poor bargain.
The present price Of silver is very much
less than the average price at which the
government laid in its stock. The silver
ties could have adopted no better object
lesson than this to show to the people that
silver dollar is not intrinsically worth its
face Richmond Times.

OREGON 1t is very popular and sue
cessful name about this time. First, the
battleship that bears that name, recently,
made the most wonderful record in naval
history, by its run of IA 900 miles and re-
porting for duty to Admiral Sampson
without finding it necessary to call fer any
repairs. Then last week the state which
bears the name Oregon made itself glorious
by giving a fatal blow to the cheap money
combination. This has been followed
by the distinction what was won by the
battleship Oregon on Saturday which Ian
ded 40 marines at Guantanamo, the first
American troops landed on Cuban SOIL

ARE YOU A REPUBLICAN e?

If you are Republican, if you honestly
believe the policies of that party are right
and it is your desire to see the Administra-
ton of President Mckinley sustained, you
have a plain duty to perform at the ap-
preaching Congressional election. No
matter if you have suffered apersonal dis
appointment, or some friend has received
what you conceive to be i'll treatment at
the hands of the Administration or our
Congressman, it will not only be ill-sd-
vised but unpatriotic for you to antagonize
your party or its nominee, lwhoeyer he may
be. The man who revolts and gives aid to
the enemy, because his personal ambitions
have not been gratifed, will subject him
self to the suspicion of being insincere and
Republican for revenue only. He will
forfeit the confidence of the honest men of
both parties, who will have no faith in bis
personal convictions or political integrity.
No man who voted the Republican ticket
in 1896 can truthfully say that he has
been disappointed in the work the party
has done for the country since it has been
restored to power. All men must admit
that the financial and economic conditions
of all sections of the Union have been
greatly improved since Mckinley was in
augurated. The Bryanites pretend to be-
lieve that the improvement lis the result
of natural causes, unaided by Republican
legislation. This has always been the con-
tention of the Democracy while the country
was happy and prosperous under Republi-
san administration. 1t is veryI strange,
however, that those conditions will always
be found when the Republican party is in
power and the opposite has been the case
when the Democracy had control Of the
government.
There should be universal satisfaction
among tie people with conditions as
they now exist. Republicans, especially,

Of General Interest.

As an example of what American man.
ufacturers are doing abroad, the following
is related: A London concern desiring to
buy large lot of fine tools, made inquiry
of manufacturers agent in London and
learned that the tools could be bought as
cheaply from the United States as from the
English makers. Being anxious to fill the
whole order as quickly as possible, it was
divided, one-half being given to an English
concern and the other half, by cable, to a
company at Cleveland, 0.
The Cleveland concern, receiving the
order on a Monday morning, went to work
the same day, and completed the work SO
rapidly that tue goods were shipped and
reached London just two weeks after the
order was given. On the other hand, the
English concern worked on their share so
deliberately that their goods were not de-
livered in London until sixty days had
passed.
A recent dispatch from Amsterdam to
the Financial News" of London says that
the diamond industry has suffered severely
from the Spanish-American war, and that
this is all the more deplorable for the
reason that the industry had just begun to
make rapid improvement after the long
strike which caused so much damage. In
Antwerp, work is almost at standstill.
The gazette OF the Diamond Workers
Federation gives from 5000 to 5000 as a
fair estimate of the number of workers
made idle during the last fortnight or so.
Spain has given no orders for some time,
and as far as large American purchases are
concerned-and they have played an i'm
portant part in this industry-no hope is
entertained that they will be made so long
as the war lasts.

To The Hypercritics of the War.

The President of the United States is
not at the head of restless mob. He is
the Chief Executive of an intelligent, pro-
gressive, humane people, whose patriotic
purpose will not waiver either in victory or
defeat. The people will stand by the
Government. The best sentiment Of the
country will recognize the fact that there
must be head to affairs, and that the
methods of the constituted authorities
must be respected and sustained. 1t is
the true American spirit that will be with
the Government, steadfast end true, in
triumph or disaster. The constitutional
fault finders and paper fighters will be
only fair-weather patriots.-Cincinnati
Enquirer.

THURSDAY, JUNE l6, 1898.
VICTORY IN OREGON.

There was an election held on Tuesday
of last week in Oregon, at which the gov
ernor and two congressman from that
State were elected. 1t resulted in bril-
liant triumph for the Republican party,
the candidate of that party for governor
being elected by over 10000 majority,
while Tongue (Repuhli. any, from the First
DESTRUCTIVE reelected to Congress by more
than 1000 plurality, and Moody (Repub-
lican), from the Second District, got plu-
rality of 5000. The Legislature was also
elected and is overwhelmingly Republican.
1t will elect United States Senator, there
having been vacancy in the Senate for
nearly two years from that State, by fail
ure of the last Legislature to elect man.
The result of the election had been
awaited with very great interest by all par
ties. The free silver men, the Democrats,
Populists and so-called free silver Repub-
licans had combined; and it was conf
IDENTIFY predicted by the advocates of free
coinage that the candidates of the white
metal would surely win. The Republicans
had made square issue on the money
question, declaring in their platforms, in
the most unequivocal terms, for sound
money and a gold standard.
The contest was one of peculiar interest
because it was the first that had taken
place since 1896 in which the money is
sue was closely drawn.
The Republicans relied upon their local
speakers, but the Populstic combination
imported speakers, among them President
Gompers, of the Federation of labor, and
MIS-. Lease, of Kansas. 1t was holly
contested battle, and the result shows the
drift of popular sentiment on the free sill
yer question.
In 1896 the Republicans carried the
State over Mr.. Bryan by over 1000 ma
jority out of a vote of97 600. 1t has been
claimed that the free silver sentiment was
largely on the increase. The Oregon cleo
ton very emphatically refutes such All
idea, and plainly says that the people OF
this country will never consent to the de-
basement of our currency.
Not only was the election in Oregon a
great trump for sound money but it is a
telling victory for the Republican party
and President McKinley's administration.
1t is an endorsement not only of the fl
nancial position of the Republican party
but vote of confidence in its favor on all
questions that will come before the peo-
people next Fall. Had the free silvertes
carried Oregan, or been beaten by no
larger vote than they we're in 1896, there
might have been some danger of them
electing a majority Of Congressman
at the approaching election, as they
have been confidently predicting they
will do. Now, however, we can but be-
lieve that the followers of Bryan will be
greatly discouraged and the Republicans
correspondingly strengthened in their
resolution to win.
Oregon has done well, and we believe
every state in the union will do as well
in November.

Our South American Friends.

The perfunctory address in which a
Minister usually presents his credentials
was varied with evident intention by
Senior de ASST, the new Brazilian Minis
ter. 1t is impossible to mistake the tenor
and intent of the strongeXpressionsu used as
to the past relations of the two countries,
their common devotion to republican insti-
.utions in the West or their future friendly
relations.
Brazil is friendly. The government
showed this in unmistakable fashion while
the Oregon was skirting the Brazilian
coast, and public sentiment at Rio moves
in the same path. This is not true of all
South American ports. In Mexican ports
the feeling formented by Spaniards is so
strong that last week the Treasury De-
partment issued special circular warning
American ship captains in Mexican ports
"to be careful whom they allow on board
their vessels to prevent accident"
This is an extraordinary warning to be
issued in regard to the ports of friendly
and neutral power, and its need might
well call for remonstrance addressed to
Mexico. The Mexican Government, how
ever, has been not only "correct,' but
friendly and "beneyo!ent'' in its neutrali-
ty. In Caracas press dispatch reports
nti-Anerican feeling very bitter and ag
gressive. 1t is in Central America. Ar
gent n papers report the same feeling
there. Chile has never loved the United
States and loves it less than ever now.
Not one of these lands but is protected
from European colonization schemes by
the United States. Germany would try
to pick up Rio Grande do Sui in Brazail to-
morrow if it we've not for this country.
Peru would be in the hands Of its bond
holders as completely as Egypt. Argen-
tine would attract an Italian fleet as well
as Italian immigrants. French relations
with the Panama Canal would long since
have given French predominance at Bo-
gotta.
But in spite of this, the great protection
of the North is nowhere keenly loved in
South America, save here and there, as in
Brazil. In time, however, by exact JUS
tice, by refusal to acquire territory equal
to local selfgovernment, by giving ex
ample and proof as in Cuba, ofour readi-
ness and determination to give protec-
ted republic complete local control, the
United States will continue in its appoint
ed work of preserving the Western Hem
isphere from external aggression and in
ternal injustice, aggression or Cypress
ion.
We should have done this between Pc
ru and Chile seventeen years ago. Since
then we have done it between Mexico and
Guatemala, between Venezuela and Brit
ish Guiana, and in Rio barbor, when an
American war ships insisted that no local
revolution should interfere with our trade.
We are doing it now in Cuba.
Its lofty destiny, the watch and ward
of two continents. May the United States
always be equal to it in wisdom, in
strength and in self restraint, for from
these three spring empiles-powerful, per
manent, salutary and just.-Philadelphia
Press.

should be gratifed, and do all they can to
keep them as they are. We take it for
granted there are very few disgruntled
Republicans in the Ninth District. There
can be none, except those who may have
failed to secure a share of the public pat
ronage. If there are any such persons
they will commit great mistake by fail
ing to give their party loyal support at the
approaching Congressional election. No
personal disappointment should make a
man recreant to his party.

have to use ladder to mount a horse
