ORKOON CITY, JAN. 24, 1890. GOLD AND RILVER. A bill ban been Introduced in congress for "the free and gratuitous coinage of. gold and silver at the ratio of 1 :Vo" It provides that the treasury may issue, for gold or silver deposited, certificates redeemable m demand in either gold or silver bat not specifying whether gold or silver was deposited, and that both the silver and sold coins and certificates issued shall be legal tender for all debts public and private. The bill provides that it shall become opera tive only when England, France and Germany shall have passed similar laws for the unlimited coinage of gold and silver bullion at the ratio of 1 John Sherman and other so-called gold-bug senators endorse the free coin age of both gold and silver by inter national agreement at a fixed ratio But can international agreement be secured, and if it can be, can the price of silver be raised to the above ratio by the fiat of the governments in the mon etary compact? There is no doubt of it that gold maintains lis high price in comparison with silver largely through the flat of law, and that silver has sunk to a 1 w value because of the lack of this support. During the centuries that it circulated or. equal footing with gold it never reached its present price in gold, in any part of the world. . 8 Iver can be mined cheaply, but so can gold as recent statistics show. If silver had been bolstered up in Europe and Atner ica by legal enactments, and not gold, the latter would now be considerably cheaper, at least, in comparison with silver. The negative way of reliablli tatinjr, silver, recommended by Thomas Jefferson, would be to withdraw legal support from gold, and to allow both metals, coined in pieces of certain weight and fineness, to circulate at their market value.: This measu.e would raise the price of sllvt r, and would convert all money or metal circulating medium into ounces of gold or silver, and if the market value of those were fluctuating, there would be no medium of exchange of uniform value with which to measure merchantile trans tction. It is true that heretofore before 1873, the legal ratio between gold and sliver was maintained with difficulty, But any and all such measures will avail us little unless they are so devised that they relieve the national treasury from the necessity of maintaining a gold reserve to sustain the lace value of puper money and silver coinage. The financial ques tion is involved and in iny-udeil It in "loaded." How (lantiernui), thetefuru, financial experiments are was too well dsmoniitiuluil by John Sherman's nilver bullion swindle, which Iks Uken and U still taking million of gold out of tho treasury. In the sixteenth century tMtuin was the stroi gest power in the world. The sun never set on the dominions of Charles the Fifth, the master of the holy Roman empire. Germany, a large part of Italy, Spain, the Netherlands is lands in the Wei t Indies and vast ter ritories in Central and South America comprised his domain. A contempurury historian would have been adjudged a fool had be predicted that the pomp and powei of the haughty Spaniard would come to naught. Kngland is now where Spain was in the time of Charles and that great statesman, William the Sik-nt, who drove the soldiers of bis son and successor, King 1'hillip II., out of the Low Countries. The vast posses sions of Spain, like those of Kngland to-day, were held together by a cohe sive power that was little stronger than a rope of sand. Time brings its re venges. Retribution lor wrong never fails, for cause and effect are eternally and everywhere indissolubly linked to gether. England will also be shorn of her power by the effect of her ruthless, murderous policy of greed. The Spanish pirate is playing his last card in Cuba. Fate has stacked the deck for England, and the armed nations of the world stand ready to take a hand in the game. I r is singular that Col. Wutterson of Louinville, than whom there is no brighter or more patriotic journalist in he South, reveres the memory of Abra ham Lincoln and will soon write for publication in book form the story of the martyr president's life. Watlerson's sympathies and fcvlincs have always been fervidly loyal to the South and especially to the blue-grass state. His literally venture is but another indica tion of the fact that there is not even a rag of the republication "bloody shirt" I Kiiuus Tabules cure liver troubles. It would be amusing were it not that tho innocent have to snflcr equally with the guilty who lino their pockets, to oliMeive the contortion of roiitililicnn journals mid politicians over the raxi-al ity and venality of the late republican leginlature. There is not a decent, in tttlligont republican in the stute that is not heartily ashamed of the record of profligacy it made squandering with lavish hand the taxpayers' money, de spite the solemn promises to the con trary in the republican state platform , In Oregon the "grand old party"is rotten John D. King and G. V. Jackson Jr. of Marquam were bound over to appear before grand jury each under $200 bonds on last Friday, on charge of the larcon y of a steer from E. Judd. The steer, which Judd claims the defendants stole bore a mark that was common to the cattle of both Judd and King, and King says the animal was taken by mistake He swapped the steer to I. L. James for a horse. King has the horse, but the steer jumped out of James' enclosure and returned to Judd's, and is stil, there. Jackson worked for King. Pbxsidknt Cleveland is making some center shots for the people now-a-dsys. His latest special message asking the assistance of congress in forfeiting un earned railroad land grants has the right ring to it. Review.
