Ifl3uc4 Every ThanJay Morning by The Gazette Publishing Co. B. W. JOHHSOH, Editor and Business Malinger. CORVALLIS, OREGON. AUG. 13, 1S96. MISQUOTATION. Free silver's cause cannot be advanced by dishonestly misquo ting dead patriots. , People may justly argue that a true principle does not need to establish itself through falsehood. But the free silver press manufacture speeches and ascribe their authorship to departed statesmen. James G. Blaine has been misquoted as fa voring independent free and un limited coinage at 16 to 1. The guilty papers publish remodeled portions of his address and leave out the essence of it. Mr. Blaine in the speech in question held that: "To remonetize silver now, r though essential conditions had not changed, is willfully and Mindlv to deceive ourselves. If our demonetization were the only cause for the decline in the value of silver then remonetizatiou would be its proper and effectual cure. But other causes, be5rond our control, have been tar more potentially operative than the simple fact that congress prohib its its further coinage. As legis lators we are bound to take cog nizance of these causes." Again Mr. Blaine said: "It we coin a silver dollar of full legal tender below the current value of the gold dollar, we are simply open ing oiir doors and inviting Eu rope to take our gold. With our gold flowing out from us we shall be forced to the single silver standard, and our relations with the leading commercial countries of the world would be not only embarrassed but crippled. What gain should we make, therefore, lor tne circulating medium 11 on opening the gate for the silver to flow in, we open a still wider gate ! for gold to flow out ? It is, there fore, clear that until Europe re monetizes silver, we cannot afford to coin a dollar as low as 412 4 grains." Thos. Jefferson, the founder and patron saint of democracy, is another American statesman "- whose -words' have been garbled to fit the advocacy of the present free silver idea. The following from his pen proves that the ele ment of the democratic party which will hold its convention at Indianapolis, and not the Chica go crowd, are the true followers of Jefferson : "Vve are in tavor 01 tne coin age and currency of silver and gold in our monetary system The proportion between the values of gold and silver is a mer cantile problem altogether. The proportions established by law have varied in different ages and in different countries. Just prin ciples will lead us to disregard legal proportions altogether, to enquire into the market price of gold in the several countries with which we shall principally "be con nected in commerce, and to take an average from them. A com mission should therefore be ap pointed to enquire what are the proportions between the values of fine gold and fine silver in the markets of the several countries with which we are, or probably may be, connected in commerce, and what would be a proper pro portion here, having regard to the average of their values in those markets, and to other circum stances, and the coinage of gold and silver at our mints should be at the ratio thus determined." REMEDY VS, DISEASE. . Gold and silver money, how ever satisfactory as a standard of value, seem to have failed as a medium of exchange. " The pre sent agitation tor more money does not arise from any fanciful ailment. Our people, ;and espe cially the rural proportion, are hampered because of a lack of means of exchange. This com- - mercial disease is a gruesome xeality and there is a demand for a remedy from our statesmen whose business it is to prescribe for political ills. The people demand money as a means not as an end, and do not care what form it takes, so it answers the purpose. They jksire a system of exchange that can be depended upon And that ' will not exact too heavy a toll. It must be sound and equitable. The majority of believers in free : coinage of silver do not advocate it because they have any especial affection for the white tutta;, but because its free and unlimifed coinage has been urged upon them as furnishing the required means of exchange, Like a man with the toothache, they are dis posed to test anything that prom ises relief even if it smacks of quackery.' . Free silver advocates promise that their plan will cure this de ficiency of circulating medium. It is the one and sole remedy proposed by Mr. Bryan. If we deem it inadequate we must shelve the boy orator and look to abler physicians. It is not a mat ter of personality. Our disease is not a mental affliction that can be cured by hypnotism. Magna- tism and rhetoric will not sumce. We require scientific and philo sophical certainty. Let us look at the arguments of the free silver advocates and waive aside all the evil phrophe cies of their opponents. What can free silver accomplish ? We have at present in the United States $600,000,000 of gold and $600,000,000 of silver coin. Double this amount and place it all in the hands of the farmers; it would still be insufficient for them to harvest and store their crops on a strictly cash basis. Free silver apostles do not claim that under free eoinage the Uni ted States would coin more than $50,000,000 a year in silver, or about 70 cents per capita. At this rate, under the most favor able conditions, we will have to wait at least 25 years before the remedy begins to operate sensi blv. What must we endure in the meantime? Senator Squire in declaring his new allegiance to democracy, stated that a panic must necessarily ensue when our government goes to free coinage. Bryan hinself says "the tempor ary effect of free coinage would be a business crash." The aver age debtor as he scans his increas ing debt account and his decreas ing income, will seriously doubt that this is a proper time to en joy the luxury of another panic. On the face of it, the free coin age of silver is but a miserable pretence of a remedy. It means at best but a derangement of our present system. Its advocates can promise us no relief, while its op ponents threaten every possible disaster if free coinage of silver is adopted. It is a patent nos tram heralded with brass bands and long-haired orators. Our fi nancial disease is too serious and complicated to be entrusted to loud-talking fakirs. Let us put the case in the hands of skillful and experienced physicians. Mr. Bryan as the advocate of an inadequate remedy must be discarded. He has no standing except such as his advocacy of free silver gives him. He has earned no reputation as a student of economic questions. He is an orator who captures his audience by his personality and theatnca. effects. He can eloquently por tray the existence of the disease, but is not the man to prescribe the remedy. Deputy Hire Again. Tha question of deputy hire came up again for consideration at the last session of the county court and the action the court took in the premises last week is meeting with favorable mention among the taxpayers. This matter was laid over from the July meeting, and among some of the officials it was thought that the commissioners might abolish entirely the payment of deputy hire, reihaps such ac tion might have been taken, but a communication from Mr. Watters, the county clerk, evidently im pressed the court with the idea that it would be necessary to pro vide some additional assistance, and after rejecting Mr. Watters' proposition, they made an order providing for the payment of two deputies for the sheriff during terms of the circuit court and for one deputy for the clerk during sessions of the commissioners and circuit courts, lie is also to be allowed pay for one deputy in mak ing up the taxrolls. Mr. Watters' proposition to the court was a tal lows: To the Honorable County Court of Benton County. State of Ore gon: GENXLEMes: Believing that a reduction of official salaries will, and should, occur at the next ses sion of our state legislature, aud iu order to equalize the matter o. the salary of the county clerk ol Benion county until that time, I respectfully submit to you for your consideration the following, towit: That from and after this date and until January l&t, 1S97, 1 will agree to run the said clerk' office for the salary as allowed by law, except in i cases of emergency, such as during ilie terms of the circuit court and of the county court during trial cases and in copying tne tax rolls. That luring the term of hhkI courts ! is iiu ivo njeutioiK'-i, i ii.ii j aiiuw me $-J.5) per day tor extra assis-1 tance, and for the copying of fhe tax rolls, 10 cents per lolio lor 'all work done on said rolls. f . "... Virgil E. Watters, . - County Clerk. Dated Corvallis, Or., Aug. 5, 9G. To Mr. Watters' ctedit, be it said, he is quite well satisfied with the court's action and believes that 1 t 1 unless some uniooKea tor emer gency arises he will be able to car ry on the work promptly and satis factorily with the assistance of Jus deputy, Mr. "J. H Skipton. whom Mr. Watters is paying out of his own salary. Mr, Rickard, however, does not appear to be at all satisfied with the new arrangements. Mr. Kick ard probably believes tnat a pub lie office is a private snap, or other . u ' - .1 wise ne wouiu acquiesce in me arrangement made by the court xt lea6t until some emergency arises, it is wen Known mat at present there is little business in the sheriffs office. Aside from the occasional taxpayer who drops iu to settle his delinquent taxes, the business callers at the sheriff's office are few and far between. Of late years and especially durum the past few months litigation has decreased very materially, so that there is very little outside work td 11. r-i r T -1 be attended to. oince air. .kick ard was inducted into office, live weeks ago, he has had the papers in only four attachment suits to serve. Iu serving the papers in these cases it has been necessary to make one trip to the vicinity of Monroe, one out some distance this side of Marys peak, one about half way to Philomath and another to Job's addition. Approximately the total distance traveled oil ofa cial business during Mr. Rickard's incumbency has not exceeded 80 miles. Notwithstanding the facts in the case the Times would have it appear that Mr. Rickard is going day aud night, and besides has three or four deputies doing 200 miles of official traveling per day. when there has not been even 100 miles ot orhcial traveling done in the county since Mr. Rickard as sumed the duties of his office. The Times of Saturday says: ''During the first 21 days that he was in the office, for instance, Mr. Rickard road six full days in., the country serving papers, and during these days of course, and during the term of his predecessor there were dsys when as high as four de puties were riding with papers, as high as 200 miles of official travel ing having been done in a single In the discussion of this ques tion th re is no use in ' being dis honest. During the campaign the Times gave the public to under stand that the election of Mr. Rick ard meant a saving to the taxpay ers. The public does toot expect officials to serve the county gratui tously, but, on the contrairy, ex pects to pay a reasonable price for the service performed. At present there is-not sufficient work in the sheriffs office to keeb one person busy, and but, for , an occasional trip to the country on official busi ness, a deputy would be altogether unnecessary. The idea that the county should employ a deputy at $5o per month under present con ditions is asking too muc 1, and the taxpayers will commend the action of the court in their efforts to cur tail expenses. V County Court Proceedings. The county court at its August meeting took a step along t he line of economy, which is meeting with hearty approval among the tax payers. The matter of deputy hire came up at the July meeting, but action in the premises was postponed for a month. By the order of the court the regular, al lowance, for deputy hirw in tie clerk's and sheriff's offices has been abolished and hereafter the clerk will be allowed pay lor one deputy at $2 per day during sessions of the commmissioners and circuit courts, and also pay at tbe same rate for deputy help required in making up tbe tax and delinquent roll; and the sheriff will be allowed pay tor two deputies at ?2.ou per day while the jury is in attendance upon the circuit court. In the matter of the Maude road the clerk was ordered to draw a warrant in favor ol E. Maude lor $100, to reeniburse him tor the amount deposited with the court pending an appeal to the circuit court in the matter of damages claimed by C. B.

I The other day he called upon a well-known and generous Corvallis lady and after repeated compli ments upon her home, her work aud her family, requested soma milk. When asking a favor he calls the ladies ur.a." "Now, ma," he argued, "you are so good and I am 60 thirsty, ma, please ma, let me have some milk." "Bet you haven't anything to carry it in," i replied the lady. "Oh ma ! you are ', so good; you will give me a bucket ; won't you ma V The bucket was forthcoming and he followed the lady into the pantry where sh be gan to skim the milk. This didn't suit h'm. "Oh ma now ma skim milk no good. You are so kind ma; you won't give me white water, will you ma?7' He was informed that such were her intentions. Then he became sarcastic. -How many times you skim him, ma; you skim him two limes, three times, ma Wnfch out, ma ! there's a speck of cream you didn't get." And the old humbug walked off with his liquid supper. Corvallis has many visitors dur ing the summer.
