Tlio lltllo unpleasantness between President Cleveland and Ills English single gold standard free trado friends mid ndinlrerslMHcntiFcd a good deal of excitement mid talk about war. Cleveland will bo noted In history aw the President who did less for his own country and more for foreign nations than any or all other Presidents, ills whole administration lias been In the Interest of foreigners, and England has been his special ict and favorite, fondd moro and more to the already enormous wealth of English Ixind holders and capitalists, he has discred ited nnd to tho full extent of his power reduced tho price- of sliver, the greatest money metal of his own coun try and of which America produces more than all other countries, while England and her colonies produce nonoor very little. He forced pay ments In gold when under a fair con struct Ion of law they should have been made either In gold or silver, or part In both, ns best suited the Interests of the United States. He called an ex tra session of Congress, and with party lash, oillclal put ronngu and the most arbitrary methods ever resorted to by any absolute dictator, forced the re peal of the law which authorized the purchase and coinage of 1,500,000 ounces of silver per mouth, and stop ped the coinage ofsllverenllrely. He forced his free trade notions on the country. This practically closed American manufactories, destroyed the price of American farm products, deprived mllllons.of our )coploof em ployment and the comforts of life, and sent hundreds of millions of dollars of tmcrlcnu gold abroad to pay for the luoducisof pauper lalxir and enrich foreign merchants. The result now Is before the people. It Is a condition, mil a theory. Wool Is down to live cenlsii iHiiiud, hops to two and one half to live cents a pound, and mil lions of our own people are In Idleness and want, while two hundred million dollars In gold annually Is sent to Eu rope to pay Interest on Imnds, tho pur chasing power of every dollarof which Interest has been doubled by this dis honest single gold standard, and al most as large a sum of gold Is sent to foreign countries annually to pay for manufactured articles and products of labor which our own people would gladly supply If they could Imi em ployed. Not only In these great In terests, but In minor allalrs, President Cleveland has been steadily and stul- bornly tho friend and ally of foreigners--partlcurlarly of "Kngland-nnd tho stumbling block In tho way of the progress and happiness of thocommon people of his own country who llvo by manual lalKir. When Hawaii asked ti Im annexed to the United States ho opposed their demand and stood In with England and a defunct monarchy which was a disgrace to civilization nnd decency. When Congress was ready to go ahead with tho Njcaraugn canal ho upimlnted a commission com posed of English sympathisers to throw cold water on tho enterprise find defeat or delay It. In tho shrinking of values, the sale of bonds, tho exportation of gold and Interest bearing securities, and the Importation of foreign merchandise and products, (hover Cleveland has probably cost tho people of America not loss than twenty billion dollars, II vo or six times as much monoy as groat war of tho relioUlon cost were palda commission of about $10, 000.000 for taking bonds which they wculd'ha7o ghdl7 taken without any commission. No other president over received the censure of to many of his countrymcti Irrespective of party. His record, up to tho point where he rails at his English cronies about Venezuela, a slice of which they have been trying to take for morn thnii llftv vears. Is odious alike to ii lanro majority ofthoso who voted for him as well as those who voted against him. Knowing this, and smarting under the treachery of his English and Wall Street syndi cate who promised to leave $100,000, 000 In gold In the Treasury and arc now trying to draw It all out and load up with more bonds, he seeks to kill two birds with one stone to minlsh his ungrateful allies, for whose bcncllt ho has almost ruined the business and prosperity of mil lions of ieoplc, and to cause people to forget his frightful record by shout ing for war, a cry that never falls to overshadow all other theories nnd conditions. War Is the most popular exercise m the world. War has lcen the leading occupation of tho human race, both savage and civilized, In all ages. Tho history of tho world, not less In modem and highly enlight ened than In ancient and moro sav age times, Is mainly an account of wars, following each other In rapid succession. About thirty years Is re quired for a large nation to rest and recuperate and get ready for another struggle, and then from three to five years to become exhausted and ready for another rest. Tliey all do it. Land and sea are cemeteries where rests R i' M What Has Been Accomplished in Salem IJY USE OF MODERN METHODS. Heavy Business Worked Up in Less Than a Yhak. Salem has at last secured one of thoso marvels of modern enterprise, in the form of n dry goods store that Is conducted upon methods that make It a great commercial success from the turn-loose. Last May the linn of S. M. & E. II. Stock opened up In tho Gray block in tills city what at the time seemed like a very modest con cern, out it was not Jong until tue peoplo of our city awoke to the real ization Hint It was developing Into a first-class1, high grade dry goods store. Although not n year has passed since tills event In our business history, we have today an acquisition in the store of S. M. & E. H. Stock, thatlsacredlt to Salem, and certainly reflects the very best of business management on the part of Its proprietors. Both S. M. & E. II. Stock are trained merchants from their youth. They are the descendants of a family of business people, and therein have no small prestige. This experience, In addition to their own personal con tact and advantages has fitted thc.se young men for the business In which they are engaged, to be able to cope tho wrecks of armies and navies and wm' tllover' cs(' 1CI1 ' their Hue. bones of countless millions of men who perished In battle. A prize light or any kind of a light or violent phys ical contest foot ball game or horse race will attract more attention than any problem in .science or math ematics. A war with England Is not likely to be declared Immediately but It will probably come In time. Noth ing short of war, apparently, will loosen the grip on England around the throat of tho peoplo of the United States. Our financial a (fairs arc now controlled and regulated by England. She fixes tho measures of value, lengthens out the yard-stick so it takes all Americans can earn to pay her, and then hauls In her Interest In gold. Presidents and Congressmen carry out hor ordors. Thoy ask whether sho will permit tho United States to manufacture her own goods and coin lioth silver and gold or wether she will do all the manufac turing and take hor interest in gold, Just to "keep up the parity and pro vide for the worklnginau a sound currency." PHODUCT OF FOUIt YEARS. HOW A MAMMOTH IIUHINKSS OUOWN UP IN OUK MIDST. HAS tho me jsjopio oi mis nation thirty years ago -and moro than a war with Eng. land continuously over slnco Clevo- mild was elected president would have cost tho United States, mi far as treasure Is concerned. Under President Cleveland's free trado and single gold standard polluy values have continually shrivelled In this country, manufacturing has almost ceased, agriculture will not pay ox IHMisos. America's gold nearly all goesabioad to pay for Imported goods, and to pay lntorost, every dollar of which reqdlrwt twice as much wheat, cotton, wool, iH'of, pork, hops, fruit, machinery or labor to got It as when tho debt was contracted and made jmyablo In coin, which coin then con Msted equally of silver and gold ut Iho ratio ofio to 1, but now consists of gold alone, which has Increased 100 percent In price. Instead of land ing up f.ir American Interest, which would htivo Moiired happiness and prosperity to the people of tho United States, ami would have kept tho treasury lull and ivald on fcioo.ooo,. ww or vw.tKW.ww of our National debt, caused by tho war of tho rebel Hon. President Cleveland has been Uw tool of foreign capitalists and KMwhtiiita. Ho has liniK)verIshed the Pmm, bankrupted the treasury, nnd UiiCjUuod alKiut fchw.ow.ooo of bonds, iuol&leuc to tho clamors of Eng. )lk and m;ricun capitalists, who Four years ago there was started In Salem a little business which lias grown Into such proportions that It has come to lw not only tho wonder, but the pride, of tho entire city. Wo refer to tho experience of tho New York Backet Store, which was estab lished by E. T. Barnes In tho Cottlo Block at that time. Tho beirtnnliiiis or t ins now mammoth business house wero modest Indeed. But several prin ciples and rules of trado wero adhered to which have had the effect of mak ing this one of tho most prosperous concerns of our city. First, all goods wero bought for cash and sold for cash. This brought tho store and Its patrons tho very liest prices that could Iw obtained. No poor goods wero ever allowed In tho establishment. If a wholesaler tried to palm oil anvthlni? of a shoddy charactor, It was Immedi ately repudiated, as tho dealer who miys for cash Is never obllircd to ne cepi goous mat are not up to his standard. In addition to thlsnsys- leui oi smaii pronts has boon adopted, that Is always satisfactory to buyers, ami with good treatment Is sure to hold trade. Tho business Is managed within tho family, which Is composed of Capt. and Mrs. .1. Q. Barnes, Mr. and Mrs. E. T. Barnes, and Miss May Barnes, all well qualllled business people. It has been a success from tho start, and grown so rapidly nnd constantly that tho scope of tho business was many times doubled, when In tho past year It was found necessary to have larger quarters, Slnco removing Into tho KUlrldgo Mock tho New York nm,t Is ono of tho most attractive places of I Since coming to Salem they have dem onstrated this over and over. It will be of Interest to note a few of the business methods which hnvo led to the unparalled success of this young concern. First of ail the pro prietors recognize the fact that In all commercial transactions cash Is king. They buy their goods in tho biggest markets of the land, and get the bcn cllt of prices that only cold coin will secure. On the'other hand, they only sell for cash, and thus give their patrons tho same benellt which they enjoy on that score. They say, money talks, and why pay high prices for goods, when you can both buy and sell cheaper by employing tho only correct principle of business? Their numer ous patrons, gained in .such an Incred ibly short period, recognize the potency of this fact, and appreciate tho situa tion. Ono of tho first moves to attract at tention to this firm In Salem was the fact that they took the llrnt premium for tho lincst display in their Hue against all competition, at tho State Fair, and that after they had been In the city only a few mouths. This successful firm Is already compelled to employ llvo regular sales peoplo, and In busy seasons extra help Is required to accommodate tho trade. Before' tho spring season arrives they expect, to l)o settled In much larger quarters, I whoro thoy will bo better ablo to cater to tho needs of tho growing business. I which is the constant aim of tho management. S. M. & E. II. Stock wish tholr numorous friends and patrons tho compliments of the season, and assure them that they will lie over ready to sorvo their lest Interests. All aro cordially Invited to look over their stock and ldam correct prices whether In quest of goods or not. f WEATHER-WISE WISDOM. HAS A LITTLE APPLICATION TO TUB C1U1ATB OF OVXQOIT.
