Daily Capital Journal, BY HOKBR BROTHKHs, WEDNESDAY, JUNE 9, 1897. DEATH TO THE GREENBACK. Mr. Jas. K. Scans of McCoy, writes as follews: Apropos to writing to Tua Jour nal nn opinion on bimetallism as a rallying party principle I mull here with an article prepared for the Ore gonlan as follows. McCoy, Nor. 6, 1806. Editor Orkgenian: Now that the campaign Is over In the Inlorst of candor, truth and honesty would It not be well for Mie Oregunlan to slate the Interest and result relative to our monetary affairs. President Cleve land in his message to congros Jan uary, 1895, wild: "In my opinion the secretary of the treasury should be authorized to Issue bonds of the government for the purpose of pro curing and maintaining a sufficient gold reserve ard the redemption and cancellation of the United States legal tender notes and the treasury note Issued for the purchase of silver under thnjlaw of 1890." The Oregon lan advocated precisely the same thing In Issue of September, 18, '95, when It said that "congress ought to sell $500,000,000 of bonds with which to redeem and cancel greenbacks and treasury notes. In Issue of December 13, 1895, you nay:"TheRepubllican-iiicuibers of con gress have not the courage to tuppnrt legislation retiring greenbacks and treasury notes." That they -fear de nunciation and defeat for re-election." And again In Issue of December 26, 1895, under caption "a necessary con dltloo,"you say "under a prudent ad ministration of the treasury, such as may be expected with equal conli dence from Mr. Carlylc or his Repub lican successor, receipts and expendi tures will be so managed that the mirplus will consist as largely as pos Hlble of greenbacks and treasury uotcs." That by this means they will lie In the United States treasury and thatsion or late perhaps after the presidential election, the congress will And courage ns It now has tho wisdom (disposition) to cancel them." Major McKlnley, In his letter of acceptance, said as follews: "Not con tent with urging the free coinage of silver, Its strongest champions de mand that our paper money shall be Issued by the general government of the United States. This Is the Chi cago Democratic platform." Now the above quotation Is plainly affirmative of three things, viz: First, That paper money is necessary. Second, That the government should not Issue It, and third, That the banks should Issue all the paper money. Thcro can be no escape from these conclusions from tho letter quoted. And Indeed your editorial last abovo quoted de mands that the banks issue the paper .fi UNION 1M OREGON, f sumption act; and oat of J the ashejj WANTS of thl-! money IeJog ndnlaxaWe ' . . ... Mr. Geo. P. Qidwsllof Salem writes gold Interest bearing bonds (and ander , ..... I June 8. as follews: the present policy inc principles aro l.tj l ..ntil k Tl.l l.m 9 Q jwi1a (njauu iu Knu ii'ishi" to juouo j as lelkiws: Be it enacted by the sen ate and house of representatives in congress aem Wed: That from and after the passage at this set it shall not be lawful for Uw secretary of the treasurers, or any other oSlcer under him to cancel or retire any more; of the United States legal tender notes. And when any of said notes may be redeemed, or received Into the treas ury under any law from any source whatever and shall belong U) the United States; they shall not be re tired concealed or destroyed but they shall be re-Issued and paid out again and kept in circulation. This was an em regency law, mandatory on the sec retary or any officer under him so that it could not be evaded. All discretionary actions was by Its ex press terms prohibited. Now In your Ksue of the 4th Inst under caption to greenback retirement" you quote from the Minneapolis Tribune House Kill No 2094, (the DIngley bill) the purpose of which was confessedly to provide larger additional revenue and to fortify against and to forbid the use of any of these greenbacks or treasury notes being paid out and the bill provides for the Issuance of certificates to meet any deficiency of revenue for current expenditures I n order to prevent the use of this cur rency and thereby expressly provid ing for its retention and consequent retirement iu the United States treas ury. Tills bill No 2091 also provides for Issuance of unlimited amount of .1 per cent coin bonds. The objectof these bonds Is stated in the bill as follews: "The secretary of of the treasury shall use the proceeds thereof for the re demption of the United States legal lender notes and for no other purpose." "Provided that nothing In this net shall be construed to repeal or modify anjact approved March 31, 1878 en titled an act to forbid the further retirement of legal tender notes. The policy adopted by Secretary Foster and ratified by Carlisle of giv ing the opinion of gold to note hold ers, and with this act of 1878 unre pealed makes complete the endless chain which must continually drain tho treasury of gold. Y ct as before quoted congress docs not dare to re peal tho law or 1878, they fear "de nunciation and defeat." They pro pose (and as suggested by Senator Mitchell that thoy should do") to al low It to remain on the statute and openly violate and disregard its ex press provisions. President Cleveland iu the message quoted said further that not one dollar came Into the treas ury In payment of revenue. It is plain Mr. Editor that the manifest object of the Pingley bill. The policy of Sherman and of the Republican legislators and statesman Is to create a surplus In the United States treas ury equal to the sum of the green backs and treasury notes and In vlp latlon of both tho letter and tho ( As yuur paper seems to be the only one published la Marlon county, that advocates reform, I therefore desire to place before the public a few facts re garding the different political parties that advocate reform. It is a well known fact that there is no difference of opinion between the Democratic People's and Union parties upon the money question. And that being a fact in the case, then a great mis take 1ms been made by the Union ami People's parties in meeting in the delegate convention, and formula ting their party platforms, and asking all otner Reform parties to join them It ?eems to me that it would have been SSra l.

In your recent issue "An Extra Session," tho only emergency j spirit of the act of 1878 to retain these have formulated their p'atforni and name of the Political party. This policy would hare brought together all the reform forces, and a platform could have been formulated that would have crystalized all thee rer form forces Into a solid vote for the people's best Interest unl?s some such action Is wisely taken by the reform forces. Success will not crown their effoits in the near future. How can the Union party hope to control the People's party have been a Re form party for many years before the Union party was ever heard of as a Political party. Thejsame political ethics will apply to the reform forces of the Democratic party. In my opinion the Democratic party, na tionally speaking, will never change their name as long as the memory of Thomas Jefferson lives in their hearts of the great American people but upon a local Issue such as we will have In the state of Oregon in the campaign of 1808, all these re forms can be-crystalized into a solid vote as set fortli In the above. I am an old man, that is, not too old to be an olllcer seeker, yet, I take a deep interest In this reform movement, and Isincerly hope that some plan may bo devised that will bring about n union of all the reform forces In Oregon. Mr. Editor, I think a dis cussion of this vital question In all Its bearings to the taxpayers of this com monwealth will do much good. $ioo Reward, Sioo.
