The Herald is Chehalis County official paper and Grays Harbor’s oldest publication with the largest county circulation.
The piece reprints harsh editorials from the Oregonian criticizing President McKinley and his allies, accusing him of being a tool of politicians, mishandling the war in the Philippines, and tolerating a corrupt war cabinet. It quotes calls for reform of the Alger Corbin circle and questions military strategy and leadership.
A Vilified Tin plate industry war of words centers on wage gains and tariff effects. The Vidette accuses Republican papers of falsehoods while citing Col. A L Conger on how tariffs and campaign funds influence tin plate wages and industry profits. The piece argues wage boosts were small and workers paid via consumer costs, not factory generosity.
A 1900s laments trusts strike Washington state, fearing nail mill shutdowns in Everett as proof of centralization. The writer warns that high wages attract trusts yet any wage gains will be countered to appease public pressure. In a decade, young workers may only get jobs with low pay under a trust and stay silent.
In a Chehalis Advocate reflection the author argues that the Republican Party should strike at trusts decisively before its national convention, suggesting the party would no longer need a formal plank if it acts swiftly. The piece frames the issue as urgent and political.
The McKinley brand of prosperity faces its usual strike wave as workers resist, with critics arguing the era floods labor with prosperity they fail to feel. The passage reflects a sharp partisan view on economic conditions and labor unrest.
The Montesano Vidette dedicates fourteen inches to smear County Superintendent McKillip and fusion officials over supply purchases. It argues new arrivals misread county graft histories while recalling past lavish spending, timber claims, and court house furniture. The piece warns against reviving old graft memories and questions the paper’s use of the term graf ter.
The text questions whether a party formed to free the black man will end in dishonor by trying to enslave the brown man, suggesting a moral conflict within American liberty advocacy. It hints at hypocrisy and calls into doubt the party’s integrity amid imperial policy debates.
The passage notes that as long as Alger’s weaknesses only led to poor picks like Shafter in Cuba and Otis in the Philippines and to defective beef purchases causing limited soldier hunger, his McKinley cabinet seat remained safe. But his denunciation of trusts triggered dismissal.
The British Indian Commission insists on a gold standard for India. This will outpace supply and push general price levels down until the gold standard is abandoned and bimetallism restored.
The exposure of a secret McKinley era accord with Great Britain saddens Irish and German republicans, revealing why nationalist voices in those communities distrust the Republican press and its Anglo-Saxon rhetoric.
The article argues that for years the Republican financial policy was controlled by British financiers and that the United States became financially dependent on Great Britain. It claims the McKinley administration allows British financiers to influence U.S. foreign policy as well.
