A TRIBUTE TO BARKLEY.
A Brother Minister Speaks of a Repub
lican Candidate for the Legislature.
BCTTEVILLE, May 13, 1890.
Editoii Jeurnal: Will you kindly
permit mo to publish an unsolicited
tribute of esteem for our Woodburu
candidate for the legislature lion. Tl.
L. Uarkley, or Brotlwr Barkloy, as his
numerous friends prefer to call hm.
I have known him Intimately for
seven years and during that time
linvo had opportunities for observing
his conduct In all the relations or life,
having boon his nearest neighbor, had
business dealings with him and
through the usual fraternal inter
course between two sister churches
have come Into near approach such as
to give room for competition and
rivalry, havo also shared my roof with
himself and family and n sense of duty
compels mo to say that a more honor
able and hlghmlndcd man 1 have
never known In the fifty years of my
experience. Whethor In the home,
on the street, in business, religion or
politics lie Is the samo II. L. Barklcy,
as bravo as a lion, as tender as a
woman and loving ns a child. lb id
too much to claim for any man that.
he is without fault, but no one can
truthfully say that Brother Barkley
ever did him any wrong by word or
act. Ho Is generous to a fault. He
would give his last dollar to n man
who needs it worse than himself.
"When traveling over the Willamette
alloy as presiding elder of the
United Brethren church ho spent a j
were plttanco of his salary
upon himself, giving away most
otltin churches nnd assisting the
poor. "When he was nominated for
the legislature two years ago ho was
sick, helpless and for some time mi
'conclous of what was going on. The
noailnatlon went to hlni as a volun
tary testimonial to his worth. As
soon as ho was ablo to get out and
shako his raven, curly locks he made
such a rousing canvass and polled
such a heavy vote as to justify the
selection. Before the legislature met
his wife was taken seriously ill nnd
vas taken to the Portland hospital
for an operation. For many long
weary weeks her life hung trembling
in the balance. Such a strain as he
was subjected to during the trying
hours of the legislature, with the
death-angel threatening his, home
and a merciless attack from a few
Woodburn politicians because of his
refusal to be dictated to by a party
caucus was enough to cause a weak
an to succumb. But through It all
ur honored friend preserved his
usual demeanor. As the weekly ad-
Children Cryfor
ntcher'a Cattoria,
RSI
Journiucnt of the legislature gave
htm a little respite, he hurried north
ward, Just stopping on the way, oc
casionally, to brush off the Woodburn
flies and then hastening to the bed
side or his wife who was tenderly
cared for and provided with every
thing commensurate with a poor
man's puree. As soon as it was pos
sible to remove her I gladly offered
my home that old associations and
the tender care of loving friends
might hasten her recovery. I had thus
an opportunity of knowing our friend
where every man ie most truly himself
in the home and among his own
family. If our frlontl was near ho
would stay my hand for I write this
without his knowledge or consent, but
candor requires any ono who knows
II. L. Barkloy to say truthfully that
ho Is above reproach. In a late Issue
of your paper you say Brother Barkloy
organized his friends into a club
which carried the primary. 1 think
you overstate the case. Brother
Barkloy did notorganlzo tho Lincoln
club at Woodburn neither did lie seek
to uso It for his own promotion.
Notwithstanding, it has been a
matter of pridothat tho Woodburn
delegation resisted all attempts to
shelve their favorite here. All tho
persuasion that ingenuity could de
vise was resorted to by tho political
rlngsters to defeat tho nomination of
II. L. Barkley because ho refuses to
bow the knee to their authority, but
notwithstanding nil opposition nnd
without any scheming on Ills own
part, he got the nomination on the
first ballot when there were fifteen
candidates. He Is popular with the
masses, but deatli to tho self-constl-
tuted bosses, whether this or that
shall rule will bo determined on
election day. John E. Day.
Bicyclers Protest.
Chicago, May 20. A number of bi
cycling fathers who are In tho habit
of taking their babies with them on
their wheels, will meet tonight to pro
test against a law proposed by the
Humane Society to stop the practice.
They declare that there Is no more
danger In carrying children on bi
cycles than In carrying them In car
rages or street cars. The strongest
objection is made by Mr. William H.
Little, who asserts that the law Is a
dangerous Invasion of personal liberty.
"If parental lovo cannot bo trustee to
safeguard children, then our civiliza
tion Is In danger," he said. 'Let us
pass a law also to prevent a baby
from sleeping with Its mother because
some infants have been smothered."

MODERATOR'S SERMON.
Dr.

Conciliation,
Saratoga, May 20. Moderator
Wlthrow, newly elected to office In
the Presbyterian conference, said Sun
day In the course of his dlscoursc.thnt.
ho was ploidliigj for moderation and
coucllllatlon. Jlta subject was "Lov
ing Deeds, Rather
than Violent, Re-
venl Christ." 'jl'hls truth, ho said,
was Illustrated Inthocareer of Christ,
In course of chrfstlunlty In the
world
and in tho conduct of Christians.
With great emphasis and reiteration
he exclaimed:' &
"The most horrid thing of hades Is
to sco Imtimti 'Kings trying to hurt
ono another. " "
Theological contests never have
been a nnurce oMwiii'lll,. In declared,
though posslblyujood may have been
brought of ecoK'shiKth'nl duels. Ho
expressed entire dissent from the
principles of thepe who declnre: "We
will cleanse the church, even It we
split it apart in doing so." Christ
ianity does not receive the confidence
of tho world yvhlle It uses tho ax,
Fighting churvheH are a laughing
stock. Conciliation ami mutual con
sideration nrolf Indispensable to the
healthy growth nnd progress which
comes with police.
The moderator's sermon has been
tho subject off general conversation
ever since it was delivered, the
liberal and tho moderate classes ap
plauding Its spirit.
Tomorrow will Imi a busy day In tho
assembly. The further consideration
of tho report nil -young people's societ
ies is In order for the morning, and
tho lloor has been accorded to Rev. C.
S. Lane of Mtycrnon N. Y , who will
niovo to strike out tlio remainder of
the resolution janrt to dUchargo tho
committee. It Is threatened, by tho
moro active supporters of tho Chris
tian Endeavor movement, that they
will move to reconsider what tins al
ready been done, and to throw tho
whole matter overboard.
Tho roport of the commlttco ap
pointed to confer with tho seminaries
In order to bring them into acloscr re
lation witli tho assembly will bo pre
sented tomorrow. It Is understood
there will be a minority report con
taining some very drastic features.
Some question has been raised as to
the next plnco of meeting. An Invita

Mich., but it said it Is not likely to
be seriously considered. The most
promising proposition comes from

against the Republicans:
' THE AGREEMENT.
"To all voters of Polk ,counfy favor
able to the freo colungo of silver.
"Fellow citizens: Tho times nro
desperate and demand measures that
under ordinary circumstances would
lw unnecessary.
"In tho full conviction that our
action Will not bo misunderstood by
thoso whoso opinion we ure unwilling
to forfeit, we have decided that the
very highest devotion to your Inter
ests demands that wo should with
draw from a race that only divides
the bimetallic vote and Insures your
defeat, whereas If united, you aro cer
tain of a majority.

comes us to quarrel over party name
or party spoil. Not only nro farms
and factories, stores a ml workshops
breaking down beneath tho awful
pressure of the hour, but every polit
ical party In America likewise. By
uniting upon tho Islnglo Issue of hi
mctalllsm,we hope to bo led to victory
noxt November. Our action there
fore Is In perfect -harmony with tho
spirit of tho hour.
"Wo havo awaited .this long until
the pressure from many prominent
members of our respective parties has
forced us to act,
"We all rcallzo that tho next legis
lature will bo very nearly evenly
divided upon tlio great lssuo of tho
freo coinage of silver. It Is in tho
earnest hopo that you will concen
trate your votes and elect only men
to the, legislature who uro known to
favor this measure, that wo withdraw
thus leaving tho way open for you to
cast a un'ted Instead of a divided vote.
"To this end n conference hns been
held of the candidates together with
u number or prominent members of
our respective parties, at which It
was deemed best that our names be
withdrawn. As tho tickets havo been
printed nnd will probably appear with
our inimes as candidates, wo most
heartily endnrso tho following Bimet

A PLEA FOR BIMETALLISM.
Editor Journal:T1io gnlbug or
gans nro now figuring out Mint, freo
coinage would Instnntly contract tlio
circulation to about one-third of Its
present volume. They "say that the
$000,000,000 of gold would Immediate
ly disappear from tho circulation, nnd
tho balance of our money would de
predate one-half. Plausible, perhaps,
at first glance, but let us examine It.
First, thero Is no stub amount of gold
In this country, but supposo that
there Is how much of It Is In circula
tion? On this coast there Is u little
gold, and but very little, out nmong
the people. Nowhere eUe In tho
Union Is there a dollar In circulation.
It is locked up In the treasury and
In th" bank vaults. It Is hoarded al
ready as much so as though It were
already at a premium Go to an east
ern bank with a check, and demand
gold. Will you got It? Hardly. It
Is hoarded now for a double purpose
to keep It from naturally finding Its
way Into -tho hands of the govern
ment, so that tho latter will be
obliged to Issue bonds In order to get
gold with which to- sustain tho pres
ent standard, und to be In a position
to tako advantage of Just that em
barrassment of the government, when
the tlmo comes. Is any ono credulous
enough to suppose that tho bankers
nro too "good" to perforin such a
stroke of "business," when they havo
the chance? If so, we certainly ought
to enlarge our asylums for tho feeble
minded. In tho meantime this hoarded gold
is mado a basis for credits, and for
that purpose nearly our entire stock is
used. Supposo gold Is at a premium?
Would tho holder fall to still uso It as
a basis of credit? How could ho lose
thereby? Obliged to pay gold obliga
tion, he would havo the gold to pay it
with, while, if It were payable In sil
ver ho could exchange his gold for
sllvorat market rates. Why should
ho lock his gold away and hoard
it, as tho miser hoards It, for
tho sako of hoarding? That I a very
crudo and childish Idea of "biiHlucss."
If gold should go to a premium, it
would bo handled by tho brokors, and
when wanted could bo obtained by
payment of tho promlum. Twenty
yours ago today gold was at a prem
ium, but no ono over heard that busi
ness was paralyzed, that tho wheels of
commerce ceased to revolvo, or that
the busy hum of Industry was stilled,
all over this broad land.
It :s somewhat conduolvo to impa
tience to rolled that pcoplo havo so
soon forgotten that tho war was
fought on a depreciated currency;
that gold, and silver too, were then nt
a premium, and out of circulation;
and still business was carried on,
fortunes were mado, and our foreign
trndo was not lutorforcd with In tho
least, by the fact that gold was not In
general circulation. Ah a matter of
fact, thoro is practically no gold in
general circulation among tho pcoplo
today, and oven, If under freocolnuge,
It should go to a premium, It would
still "circulate" fully as muc,h as It
does now,
A depreciated curronoy mny pot, In
Itself, lw desirable, but let us not uso
the term to scare tho children with.
"Gold at a proinlum," "depreciated
money," nro terms used in a kind of
bogle-man way, calculated to frighten
somo timid voters back Into tlio gold
bug ranks; but the reality would not
bo the universal, spul-destroylng
cataclysm that they wish us to be
lieve. One thing let us clearly under
stand. If gold goes to a premium
(measured In silver,)and silver goes to
a discount (measured In gold,) then
tho said premium and discount must
of necessity exactly balance each

other. If you havo a gold oWlmtton
to meet and must sell property to
meet it, you will cither sell on ft rW
basis and get your gold, or will fcell on
a silver basis and got enough mora
sliver so that you can exchange for
gold and havo tho sumo amount as In.
the first Instance They tell ll that
the farmer must sell his wheat on a
gold basis because It goes to a gold
standard market. Very well. It
wheat Is worth CO cents per bushel In
gold, and the farmer gots his goia, he
will cortnlnly havo the benefit of
whatever premium thero Is mi lr.
while If ho takes his pay In silver dol
lars worth f0 cents In gold, then
will get twice as ninny of them, The
laws of supply and domand will re a
late that, and If ono buyer will not do
about tho- right thing another one
will.
They wish us to Vllovo that we
would pay tho most, nnd sell on tire
basis by which wo would rccolve the
least. That Is good common sent,
Isn't It? It takes two to make a bar
gain, and the buyer cannot bo buying
on n silver basis and tho soller soiling
on a gold basis at tho same tlmo. If
tho farmer sells his hay or spuds for
silver, tho buyer surely does not have
to pay gold.
But supposo what they toll us to be
true; supposo that freo coinage would
cut tho wages of labor in two without
cutting In two the prlco of what the
laborer buys. Wo must remember that
what tho laborer buys Is itself tho
product of othor laborers. So suppos
ing such n state of affairs to suddenly
spring Into, existence, Micro would bo
such a profit In tho omploymeut of
labor in tho manufacture of goods
that every idlo factory In tho country
Would Immediately coinmonco run
ning night nnd day, and Micro would
bo such a demand for laborers that
wages would at onco rise to corre
spond with tho prlco of goods. Can
uny snno mnn doubt this? And would
not Inborors, as a class, bo glad to
suffer a few months Inconvenience
nnd short rations for tho sako of see
ing prosporlty return to our country
nnd work again becomo plenty? Tin
worst Mint tho goldbugs can threaten
us with is Infinitely hotter than con

AN ENGINEER'S. GOOD WORK.
How Mr. Hunntg&n Saves Two Liv
Within a Week.
Engineer Hnnnlgan, who runs be
tween this city nnd Portland on the
Salem local Is gaining qulto a reputa
tion for saving souls, and during the
past weok has been tho means of pre
serving two lives Mint except for his
thoughfuluc8s would have travelled
their lust long journoy. Saturday
ovcnlng as tho train was approaching
tho long trcstlo nt Aurora Mr. Hnnnl-
gait spied a man nhcad and rovorscd
his engine, slowing down tho train
Just In tlmo to prevent a fatality.
The victim wns an old gentleman
named Jones living nt Hubbard. Ha
was lilt by the moving cnglno and
pushed aside, but saved himself by
clinging to tho trcstlo until the train
could pull by, when Conductor Elder
and crow helped him out of his di
lemma and took him on homo.
Another Instance occurcd lasteveniug
us the train was pulling out of Port
land nnd Just before reaching tho
shops n man with a bundlo of blankets
tried to step across tho track ahead of
the cnglno, when his foot wns caught
In a cattlo guard. Ho could not ex
tricate hlmsolf but Engineer Hnnnl.
gnn seeing tho awful picture, had
mado tho effort of his life and stopped
tho cnglno when within less than
four feet of tho helpless victim. Thus
within a week's tlmo a faithful ser
vant of tho public saved the lives of
two earless men. no may nover get
thunks of tho public for this great
service, but tho consciousness of
having dono moro than duty must al
ways bo a consoling thought.
