event during the past week wa the
celebration of Washington's birthday
by the publio school of thi city. A
somewhat elaborate program hud
been prepared beforehand, and the
friends and citizens generally invited
to be present lo witness the exercises.
To accommodate the audience, the
upper unfurnished room was used,
which bad previously been temporar
ily tested and heated by one of the
stoves from below, and quite a large
audience gathered at the ringing of
the bell iu the afternoon. At 1 : 30 p.
m. the scholars marched in, carrying
flags, and, after marching around the
room, were seated on seats reserved
for them. Patriotio muic by the
ehool wa followed by patriotio reci
tation and essays, each one having
some reference to the hero whose birth
day they were celebrating. These
were interspersed by musio, with or
gan accompaniment by Miss Coia
Blackford. A very neat exercise by
some of the larger girls, each one car
rying a flag patterned after one of the
original flags used in colonial times
and iu the early days of our national
struggles, wa a pleasing feature of the
entertainment. Each girl in turn pre
sented her flag, snd told something of
the history of its design and its use,
the audience thereby getting some in
teresting history. At the close of the
exercise by the school, Prof. Cleeton
gave a brief eulogy on Washington
and hi work. The entertainment wa
calculated to inspire love of country
and devotion to its flag, inculcating
just such sentiments a ought to be
impressed upon the rising generation
in times like these when there is a
tendency to disparage our country and
it free institutions. Loyality to our
country should be taught by all politi
cal parties, and especially in all schools,
o that our boys and girls may grow
up to be loyal citizens, placing devo
tion to the land of their birth.

The Inco..t.f.e of xh PopwIUt
Sootrlne.
Kditos M ir.-Tb Oregon Independent,
wblcb is about 4b only pouulut ibect now
left In Oregon, sy, sditrlally, In It issue
of February 20tb. substantially as follows:
It 1 a well-known fact that oar green
back wer purchased by the bolder of
gold at forty cant on the dollar, tbu giv
ing for one dollar In gold, two dollars and
a half In greenbacks. With these the gold
boarder purchased government bond at
their face valua, to that a dollar In gold
would bur a 12.40 government bond, the
Interest of wblcb wa payable in gold In
advance. Thus tb average rate of interest
obtained from tb one gold dollar on gov-
eminent bond and .national book script
wu at least forly per cent. Hot content
wilb this, onr government called in and
burned a billion dollar lo greenback, and
in their place iwned iBtereat-beariog gov
ernment bonds."
Without casting any reflections upon tbe
intelligence of tb populist party, it is as
tonishing bow brasenly some editor will
distoit the truth when they should know
that many of tbo republicans know too well
their misrepresentations are hardly worth
answering. It is an equally well-known
fact that during the dark and doubtful per
iod of onr late civil war, our bond were
used to pay tbe bounties of soldiers snd
general expense of the war, and if sold for
gold. It wa at various discounts ranging
from a small margin to 12.85, in July, im,
for 11.09 in gold. . Yet the average price of
gold, a taken on the 1st day of January
from 1802 to 1872, a period covering tbe aale
of all bond, was $1.45. These bonds drew
7 8-10 per cent interest usually, and were
payable in ten or not until forty years. If
we estimate the interest for twenty years
at 7 S-10 per cent and add tbe average bonus
of 46 cent we bare an aggregate of 12.56 for
twenty year' Iriterest, or a fraction less
than 13 per cent for the bond, and if you
wish to add 10 per cent interest on 90 per
cent for tbe banker, it then only aggregates
22 per cent, without any bonus, Instead of
f 1.50 as claimed by Tbe Independent. And
right bere let m add that the soldier who
bad frugality enough to save'his bond, or
greenback even, as well as any person who
bad patriotism enough to loan his shekels
to the government in time of need.has real
ised tbe same appreciation of vilue as
though he or she was a banker. In July,
1864, there was in circulation in round
numbers, $415,000,000 of greenbacks. After
tb circulating medium had been expanded
by issuing national bank notes, tbe green
back were retired until they reached 1346,-
1 000,000 In round numbers, w here it is fixed
by legal enactment ; hence instea of one
lllion dollars having been reared and
burned, only sixty-nine million were so
retired. Again the writer says:
At the close of the war, three billion
bushels of wheat would have paid the war
debt. Today it would take two and one-
half billion bushels, in spite of tbe fact that
we have paid It all but nine hundred and
ninety-five millions, together with the in-
terest. Under our present tinanciai sys-
-vuini, that debt is as everlasting as the rock-
ibbed bills, and we can never pay it."
Toshow bow little regard the writer had
for tbe truth in the above paragraph, let us
lake the report of the United Stutes com
missioner of agriculture, wbioh puts tbe
average price of wheat for the six years
prececding 1869 at $1 42. This multiplied
by one billion produces one thousand four
hundred and twenty million, or about one
half of the national debt at the close of tbe
war; tbe average price of wheat for three
years ending in 1892 was seventy six cents.
multiplied by two and one-baif billions pro
duces one thousand nine hundred and fif
teen million dollars, while our debt Novem
ber 1st, 1893, was only nine hundred and
sixty-one millions. On the contrary, bas-
ng onr estimates on wheat alone, it would
have taken two billion bushels, if we bad it,
to pay the debt at tbe close of the war.
while now at the low price of the last few
years it will require one million two hun
dred thousand bushels. But white tbe
calamity howlers may get a deal of com
fort from hugging Some lllubioH, let me
give them a few figure representing facts
for their consideration, and see bow ever
lasting this bagatelle of indebtedness is.
While wheat is an important factor of our
notional products, it Is by no means king,
as the following annual productions will
clearly show :
Corn 7l4,000,0n0
Wheat aw.ooo.ooo
Oats 221.000,000
Hav ... 400,000,000
Cotton, v ., 240,000,000
Potatoes . . ... 100,000,000
Tobacco ' 60,000 000
liver 45.000.000
Gold 33,000,000
Total - ....12,253,000,000
The total valuation of property in 1860
was sixteen billion dollars, but in spite of
all the expense incurred by the civil war,
which left a legacy of national Indebtedness
of eighty dollars per capita.our total wealth
In 1890 bad increased to sixty bilKon dol
lars, and our indebtedness decreased to
fourteen dollars and sixty-live cents per
capita, or if you wish to include state debt
of three dollars and fifty-six cents and
county of two dollars and twenty-seven
cents the total sum will only aggregate
twenty dollars and forty-six cents, as
against one hundred and sixteen dollars
for France, which Is often held up as a
model of thriftiness. Had I not already
occupied so much of your space, it would
bf easy to show the lessening of cost for the
necessaries of tbe laboring man, while the
wages of skilled labor, under the salutary
influence of the McKlnley bill, increased
considerably during the last decade. The
essence of populism" being to pay an
bonest debt with a due bill, Instead of an
Interest-bearing note, will be considered in
the future. Citizbh,
