AS HEARST SEES 1T.

The San Francisco Examiner
of November 8th, contains a
long editorial on "The Meaning
of Defeat" in which it contends
that Bryan beat himself. 1t
contains these paragraphs:
The people have evidently
made up their miads to dispose
of free silver once for all. The
effort was superhuous, for. free
silver had ceased to exist as a
possible policy four years ago,
but the voters were determined
not to have the remains lying
around any longer.
The Democrats party has
paid by tive defeats for the adop-
tien of an unpopular and dis
credited issue. Free silver was
defensible in 1896, although ev-
en- then its advocates had an up
hill fight. But everything that
has happened in the past four
years has helped to bury it deep
er in the graveyard of obsolete
issues. Russia, Japan, and half
a dozen minor nations have be-
come gold standard countries.
Even in South America silver is
steadily losing ground, and Mex
leo Is almost tbs only important
friend it has left. A flood of new
gold has filled the monetary
channels of the world.
Every argument the silver ad'
vocates advanced in 1So6-scar-
city of gold, appreciating curren-
cy, business stringency-has
ceased to have any application to
present conditions. Prices have
been rising instead of falling.
The trusts have been practically
reducing the wages of the entire
laboring population by making
the dollar buyless. This is the
mos. effective argument advanced
by democracy for winning labol
votes, and it is under suoh con
ditions that the democratic party
has been put in the ridiculous
and edious position of trying te
make the dollar buy less still.
American public opinion be-
lieves in the retention of ths
Philippines, and in the exten'
sion to that country of a truly
American form of government,
under which the Filipino would
have provocation to revolt. i
believes that free silver was deae
in 1896 and Is ten times deade,
in 1900. That is one issue, al
least, that will not ba heard ot
again in the immediate future.
To give liberty to the Filipi'
nos 1t was not essential to grant
independence. Mr.. Mckinley
will fnd it absolutely necessary
to establish liberty in the Philip
pines and settle the affairs O.
Porto Rico in accordance with
American traditions.
Corvallis gazette. [volume] (Corvallis, Benton County, Or.) 1900-1909, 1900-11-13


The official vote of Benton
county gives Mckinley o20, Bry-
an 766, Woolfey 80, Barker 8,
Debs 7. McKin1ey's plurality
is, therefore, Io2. TIE total
vote of the county was 1857.
This is considerably below the
June registration of 1855, and
a trife below the vote of last June
which was 1922. The last fig
ures show the total vote cast for
clerk, which was above that OF
any othef candidate, the average
being i'll the neighborhood Of
1850 votes.
