-TV r fyt onrWr. Oreeon City, August 1 1 , 1893. WHAT THE MOON DOESN'T DO. One ol the moat prevalent opinions la that th J moon in Its various phases has marked influence on the weather and on vegetable and animal life as the plant' lng of potatoes and a setting of eggs though careful investigation by trained observers discloses the fact that no pop ular belief hoary with the age of many centuries, Is more erroneous. Dut Ibi dictum of the learned docs not remove the actual influence of the moon over the minds of men, for this is real and capable of positive proof. The Academy of llerlin dropped from its annual alma' nac the lunar prophesies, as they could not be scientifically substantiated. The public did not want the reformed alma nac and the Academy was obliged to ro turn to the prognostications which it believed to be mostly lunar nonsense. It is haidly believable that to day there are many who credit the moon with special Influence over the nervous system (i. e., moon sickness), the cutting of hair and nails, the dispersion of warts and the curing of various bodily ills. Among sailors the belief exists that if one sleeps on dock in the tropics the moon will twist his face out of shape, (bough the tar with a lunar turn of the nose and lunar wink of the eye has long been due and Is patiently being waited for by the vigilant nautical reporter. All of which goes to show that the "voice of the peo pie is the voice of God" not always by any manner of means, but that the voire of the people Is very often the voice of its own conceit. When Coper' nicus had discovered the laws according to which the planetary bodies revolved, he proclaimed to the world the voice of God, albeit the voice of mun was dia metrically opposed to it i nd abused and derided him a an impostor and a crank. Since 1851, the world's output of g Id has been 14,741,271,000, and of silver $3,360,743,700, and from 1851 to 1872 the output of gold exceeded that of silver 151 per cent. It is not therefore on account of the super-abundant ex cels of silver over gold that public con fidence in the white metul has been shaken, but on account of the Sherman act of 1873. It would be foolhardy of the American poople to attempt to undo by an act of congress authorizing unlimited silver coinage at 10 to 1, the blunder of 1873 in which we have been followed by other nations. We are not all the world, and we cannot afford to act in defiance of the part we do not own. The ponr man, the day laborer, always suffers most from mone tary disturbances, and if free silver coin age drove out our gold coin he would feel the effects far more than the capital ist, who could afford to sit down and wait. For stability in busin ess, to avert pticli a cata8thrope at has overtaken us, we mutt have a lOO-vent dollar worth cen'o, "' .or !!.' loiinr rx fold, In California the prevailing strin gency In the money market has reached the farmer. The bankers refuse the usual advances this year even to the owners of the large ranches, and In parts ol the Ban Joaquin and Sacramento valleys grain that should be cut Is standing and will be lost for lack of the money required for the payment of harvesters. The fruit growers are said 'o be In a worse condition, becauso there Is no market. The large canning fac torles are idle for want of the advances usually made to them at this season by the banks, which aggregated from 11,600,000 to (2,000,000.

We find similar chaps In Oregon, An Investigation by a statistician of the treasury department has brought out the fact that the gold prices of 223 of the most important articles of daily use declined 7.8 per cent, from 18G0 tj 1801. Silver, on the other hand. has declined over 40 per cent. So this refutes the oft repeated argument that the prices of these articles and that of silver have remained relatively the same.

New York Times. Kentucky's brilliant statesmnn, Henry Watterson, clearly recognizes the logic of the situation. He says in his masterly way in the Courier-Journal The truth is that if the government Is to continue the policy of makinii Wdrehouso of life if for the storage of products which it does not need and cannot use, it would do better to buy KcntuckvwliiHky than Colorado silver. Since it began buying silver under the Sheiman art silver has gone down nearly 50 per cent., and the govern mem uas now a stock ol ileail silver stored awny in its vaults which repre sents a hiss of millions of dollars. If it had put that money into Kentucky wines v It would liavo put it into something which would have been growing belter nil the time, and which would have continued to grow better with age. It could hate kept that whiky for a hundred ye rs, if it chose, before attempting tn put it into circulation. Think of Kentucky wiusky Issued liy the government and known to lie one hundred years old I Instead of suffering a loss Iroin it the government could dispose of it at a profit auflicient to payoff the national debt and pension every silver miner in Colorado for life. Tut capitalists of the Kiist have for a third of a century been growing fat at the expense of the" bone and sinew of the West and South, largely through the instrumentality of the tariff and our one-sided financial system. Democrats have recognized this fact for years but were powerless to act because the re publican party had control of the gov ernment. It is gratifying therefore, to observe that the people's puty, in Us manifesto issued at Chicago, bas noti fied the Eastern manufacturer that tin. less thej inaugurate more liberal pol icy toward the West and South, the laws bestowing bounties on them at the People's expense, will be repealed. The democrats need not agree with the pop ulists as to fiat money or government ownership of railroads and telegraphs, nd yet be heartily in accord with them on the tariff qnestion. Come to think o It, the members of no church or of no party agree exactly on all points. But all reformers tan agree on the proposition that the robber tariff most go. The Death of Jumbo. The story told by Scott, the keeper who went to America with Jumbo, of the elephant's death is sad. The animals were being loaded while the cirens was performing, and Scott waa walking Jumbo ulong the railroad between two rows of trucks. There was another elephunt with them a dwarf elephunt bought in Singapore In 1883 to be "clown elephant." J umbo would not go anywhere without him. On this occasion the small elephant wus going in front, and when the train came round the curve Jumbo caught hold of his chum and pushed him between two freight trucks. This saved the small one, who only got his leg broken, but Jumbo was badly cut np by the heavy locomotive and died about an hour after. St James Budget. Itegurd for Sacred Trees.

President Cleveland's message, which was read to both houses of congress nt Washington on Tuesday, the 8th, is as follows: To the Cimarttt at Ihe Vnilnl Slaten: The existence of an alarming and ex traordinary business situation, involving the welfare and prosperity of all our lieoole, has constrained me to call to gether in extra session the people's rep resentatives in congress, tn the end that, through the wise and patriotic exercise of the legislative duty with which they are sololy charged, the present evils may be mitiKatod and the danger threaten ing the future may be avoided. Our unfortunate financial plight is not the result of untoward events nor of con ditions related to our natural resources, nor is it traceable to any of the atllictions which frequently check natnrnl growth and prosperity. Willi plenteous crops, with abundant promise ol remunerative production and manufactures, with un usual invitation to safe investment and with satisfactory assurance to business enterprise, suddenly financial distrust I I 1 - anu iear neve sprung up on livery niuo Numerous monetary institutions have suspended, because abundant assets were not immediately available lo meet the demands of frightened dapoaitors. The surviving corporations and indi viduals are content to keep in hand money they are usually anxious to loan and those engaged in legitimate business are surprised to find that the securities they otter for loans, though heretofore satisfactory, are no longer accepted. Values supposed to be be fixed are fast becoming conjectural, and loss and failure have invaded every branch of business. I believe these things are principally chargeable to congressional legislation touching purchase and coin ago of silver by the general government. This legislation is embodied in the statute passed July 14, 1800, which was the culmination of much agitation on the subject involved, and which may be considered a truce, alle- a lo ig t nggie between the advocates of free silver coin age and thosn intending lo be more con servative. Undoubtedly the monimj purchases bv the government of 4,500,000 ounces ol silver. lorceu iinuer inai- statute, were regarded by those inter eated in silver production as a certain guaranty of its increase in price. The result, however, has been entirely tin ferent. for. immediately following 8 spasmodic and slight rise, the price of silver began to fall after the passage of the act. and has since reached the lowest point ever known. This disappointing result lias led to a renewed and per sistent effort in the direction of free silver coinage. EVIL EKPKCT OK TUB SHERMAN LAW. Meanwhile not only are the effects of the present law constantly accumulating' but the result lo which ils execution must inevitably lead is becoming pal pa ble to all who irive the least heed to the financial subject. This law provides that in navinent for 4,500,000 ounces of silver bullion, which the secretary oi the treasury is commanded to purchase monthly, there shall be issued treasury notes redeemable on demand in gold or silver coin, at the discretion of thesecre tary of the treasury, and that said notes nu.y be reissued. It is, however, ue clared in the act tj be "the established policy of the United States to maintain tli" two metals upon a parity with each nnrer njxm-t such ratio as This doclarat of the secretary of the treasury sb to prevent his exercising the discretion nominally vested in him, if by such action the parity between gold and silver may be disturbed. Maiiilttstly a retusal by the secretary to pay these treasury notes In gold as demanded would neces sarily tesiilt in their discredit and de preciation as oblig. t ous a able o dy in silver, and would destroy the parity between the two metals by establishing a discrimination in favor of gold. SILVER IIUI.I.ION PURCHASED Up to July 15th, 1803. these notes hud been ifsued in payment for silver bullion purchased, to the amount of more than SI47.000.UOO. While all but a very small quantity of this bullion remains uncoined and without useiuiness in tne treasury, many of the notes given in its purchase have been paid in gold. This :s illustrated by the statement that be tween May 1, 1802, and July l 1803, notes of this kind issued in payment for silver bullion amounted to a little more than lS4.000.000, and that during the same period about $40,000,000 was paid by the treasury in g l.l for the redemp tion of such notes. The policy necessa rily adopted of paying these notes in gold has not spared the gold reserve of S100.000.000. long ago set aside by the government for the redeni) t'. n of other notes, for this fund has already been subjected to the payment of new obli gations amounting to abiut 150,000,000 on account of silver purchases, and has, as a cotiHt'Cjiience, for the first time since its creation been encroached upon. e nve thus made the depletion ol our gold easy, and have asked other and more appreciative nations to add it to their stock. That the opportunity we have offered has not been neglected is shown by the largo amounts of gold which have been recently drawn from our treaxury and exported to iucreaae the tinaiicial strength of foreign nations. EXCESS OK EXPORTS. The excess of exports of gold over its imports for the year ending Juno 30, 1S1I3. amounts to more than SH7,otK),tioti. Between July 1, 18512, and July 15, 1803, the gold coin ami bullion in our treas ury decreased more than f 132,000,000, while during the same period silver coin and bullion in tne treasury, in creased more than $147,000,000. Unless government bonds ere lobe constantly issued and sold to replenish our ex hausted gold, only to be airuin exhausted, it is apparent that the operation of the silver-purchase law now in force leads in the direction of the entire subslitu- on of silver for irold in the government treasury, and that this must be followed by the payment ol all government ob- L'litious in depreciated silver. At till stage gold and silver must part eon pany, and the government must fail in its established policy to maintain the two metals on a paiily with each other. t.iiven over to an exclusive use of cur rency grentlv depreciated, recording to le standard of the commercial world, we could no longer claim a place among nations of the tirst class; nor could our governmenlcluim the performances of its obligation, so far as such obligation has been imposed noon it, to provide (or use of the people the best und safest money. II as many ol us menus ciini, silver iitht to occupy a larger place In our irrency and the currency of the world trough international co-operation and agreement, it is obvious the Lmtrd States will nut be in a position lo gain hcarinn in favor of such an arrange ment so hu g as we are wdluu to cm tiuue our attempt to ace"mp'ih the re' suit single handed . handa of timid owners. Foreign In vestors are enuully alert. Tlmy not only decline to purchase American eurltiea, but make haste to eauhnVe those which Ihey already have. Ii does not meet the situation to say the apprehension in regard to the future of our finances' Is groundless, and that there is no reason for the lack of con fidence in the purp iso or power of the government in the premise. The very existence of this iippreli'insioti and lack of confidence has caused a menace which ought not fur a moment lo he disregarded. I'usaihlv.if lliu undertaking we have in hand were thn iimliilnnaucH of a specific known ipiunliiy of silver ai a parity with gold, our ability lo do so might be estimate i and gauged, und perhaps, In view of our tiniiurullcted growth and resources, might lie favor ably passed up-ill. Hut when our avowed endeavor Is lo in lintain such a parity in regard to nn amount of silver increasing at the rale of f0.(XH,UKl yearly, with no fixed termination to such increase, it can hardly be said that a problem is presented whose solution is free from doubt. The people of the United States are entitled to a sound. stable currency, and to money recog nized as such on every exchange and in every market cf the woild. Their gov ernment has no right to injure them by financial experiments opposed tn the policy and pructice of other civilized states nor is it justilied in permitting uu exaggerated anu unreasonable reliant' on our national strength and ability to jeopardize tne soundness oi the people money. AIIOVK THE PLANE OK POLITICS. This matter rises above the plane of party politics. It vitally concerns every business and calling and enters every household in the hind. There is one important aspect of the snlu'ec which especially should never bevojyer loosed. At a time like the present. wiiDii me evns oi unsound flnanc threaten us, the speculator may antic pate the harvest gathered from the misfortunes of others; the capitalist may protect himself by hoarding or mayeen find a profit in fluctuation of values; but the wage-earner, the first to ue imured nv a decree ntxil enrren,- and the last lo receive ihe benefit of its correction, Is practically defenseless lie relies tor Work unon the ventures conndent and contended capital . This iuiiiuk linn, ins condition is without si leviation, for he can neither Drov on the misiortiines oi others nor hoard his la bor. Une ol the greatest statesmun ou country has known, speaking more than 59 years ago when the derangement of currency nnu caused commercial dis tress, said: "The very man of all others who lias the deepest jnteiest in sound currency and suffers bv mischiev ous legislation in monetaiy matters, is the man who earns bis dully bread by ins uuny ton." rnese words are us pertinent now as on the day they were utiereu, anu ought to impressively re mind us that a failure in the discharge oi our uuty at this tune must especially injure tnose oi our countrymen who labor, and who, because of their num ber und condition, are entitled to the most watchful care of their government The Oldest Book In the World.

CjitovKKCi.EVKi.ANi A Stone Image Sixty feet tinder Ground. Years ago, probably us early as 1881, when workmen were excavating a cut on the Hutneston und Shenandoah rail way, they found a stone image abont eight inches in height imbedded in the clay at a depth of about sixty feet be neath the surface. In general attitude the image may be said to be in a squat ting or sitting posture, the right elbow resting upon the bent knee. Two horns, each about un inch in length, adorned the head. The mouth, and in fact the whole face, was very large for the size of the image. The main question is, How long has it been since that image was an object of worship? St. Louis Re public.

It is written in Ihe Egyptian hieratii! character ; is rhythmic, if not poetic; is addressed to the educated C asses and einlndiis throughout big I and noble principles for Ihe regulation of individual life and conduct and for the maintenance oi good government. The man in authority is enjoined by this very ancient writer to laiwr at ail times to be a true gentleman, lest from his own defects ol character he suffer the authority given him by favor of the Supremu Being to be weakened. All our greatest Kgyptuiogisls bear testimony to the extraordinary civiliza tion ol ancient Egypt. The work of I'lah holep fully conllrnis mis position. It testifies to a height of culture and re finement obtaining in Egyptain society 5,240 years ago that to our Western cir cumscribed notions of modern superior ity are simply inconceivable. The teachings of the "Precepts" more than justify all that has been said by Egyp tologists. "It Is certain, "says I'rolessir Henotif, "that at leust .'iOOJ years be fore Christ there wus in Eg.vpi a power ful and elaborately organised in nurchy enjoying a material civilization in many rei-pects not inferior to that of Europe in the lust century " Leptiui writes: "The fourtli dyuasiy ascended (he throne about 3U'4 B.

So also Professor Muspero: "In one of the tombs of liiz. h, a high ollker of the first period of the sixth dvnaslv CB (!. 3703J takes the title of Uovernor of thu House of Books.' Jfol oulv there nlieady a literature, but tbiu iteruturo wus sufficiently lurirn to fill libraries, and its ininortancB was so great thai one of the court of ficers was specially designated for I ho keeping of the royul library." The wisdom and high moral teachimr nm. bodied in the precepts of Ptah hotep abundantly confirm this testimony. ltns old writer urgently enfon-ex on rulers the cultivation of the duct ine of 'Ma, an Egyptian dogma, comnrn. bending "tho true, the beautiful,- the good." "Ma" is the nrineioln of nnh.r and harmony in everything; it is the steadfust pursuit of wisdom, knowledge and obedience obedience as tho best of all.

In sixteen different instances in which Ptuh-hoten sneaks of ( id Im does so in the singular number an rgument happily no longer needed to establish the monotheistic character of the Egytian religion.

St. Lonis Republic. A Witty Reply of Pi.pe'e. As narrated by Edward Walford In his "Greater London," Frederick, prince of Wales, sometimes visited Alexander Pope at his villa. On one occasion when the prince was ou a visit, Pope, after ex pressing the most dutiful professions of attachment, gave his royal highness nn opportunity of observing very shrewdly that his (the poet's) love for princ was inconsistent with his dislike for kings, since prince may in time become kings. Said his royul highness: "Mr. Pope. I hear you don't like princes." "Sir, 1 beg your pardon." "Well, then, yon don't like kings." "Sir, I must own that I like the lion best before his claws ure grown." No reply could well have been happier. A Iteiimrkal.le llll.le.
