l..nla Cold In Helatloa to Affecting
lrtee.
"What effect will the now gold yield
have upon prices?" is a question which
is being debated by statesmen and
financiers. The North American Re
view treats the subject at length and
draws the deduction that even though
the Alauika yield is enormous it will
not affect prices to any noticeable de
gree. It reasons that there are too
nuinr avenues Often to the use of gold
Ho monetary use, use among tha arta
and tbe foreign demand tor it to ever
change prices. The article sayB:
With a gold production for 1897 esti
mated at (240,000,000, it is evident
that the new goldiields. will have to
prove exceptionally productive in or
der to add a great percentage to the
world's .annual supply of gold. If
- they should yield 0,000,000 per year,
carrying the total annual production to
tSOO,000,0000, they would still be
adding only 85 per cent to the previous
annual increase. The effect of new
supplies of the precious metals is great
ly restricted by the fact that the addi
tions have to be set against the whole
mass already in existence. An addi
tion of 85 per crat to the annnal pro
duction of wheat or corn, or even of
more permanent industrial products,
like iron or copper, would have a
marked effect upon prices. Gold is un
doubtedly influenceed, like all other
articles, by the law of supply and de-
mnnd, but tlie supply in any one year
is only small addition to the amount
already in the market. AH the gold
of tbe world used as coin or bullion in
. monetary exchanges is constantly in
the world's money market, capable of
being - purchased by oommodtiics di
rectly or by slight premiums hi rates
of exchange.
It has been shown that the visible
stock of monetary gold existing in the
world today is about 4,86O,0OO,O00.
Reasons will soon be given for thinking
that another sum of $1,000,000,000 is
concealed in private hoards. The
mathematical elements of the problem,
therefore, are: An aggregate gold pro
duction within historic times of (9,
000,000,000; a visible supply of gold
in use as money of $4,360,000,000; and
si possible annual increase of tbe sup
ply from (340,000,000 in 1897 to $300,
000,000 jit future years.
The second question what portion
of the new gold will be devoted to
monetary nses suggests tbe interest
ing inquiry, what has become of the
difference between the whole amount
of gold produced and tbe amount now
visible in coin and bullion? Tbe
amount to be accounted for is 84,800,
000,000 and represents more than half
of the gold which has been produced
since 1493. There are three channels
through which this difference has been
absorbed, which may be briefly treated
thus:
Abrasion, the arts and the foreign

It is complained that the British
have made no money out of mining in
this country. They should not send
over tbe proverbial younger son, and
luxurious mine managers, who "dress
for dinner" is remote mining camps
and have French chefs, and violinists
to soothe them during tbe hour of di
gestion. American are mining to bet
ter advantage here; they are mostly
plain, practical men, and when they
buy a mine they send one set of experts
to check np another, and then pay a
price for the property, and no more.

riAST THK EXPLORER ON BAKING
POWDERS. ,
Those going to the Klondike must
remember that a reliable baking pow
der is an absolute necessity. If, after
a long and expensive trip and the great
cost of transportation, the baking pow
der proves inferior or hns lost . its
strength, tbe miner will be practically
helpless. It is no time or place to ex
periment. What is required is a oak
ing powder that has actually stood the
test of the arctic climate.
The well known explorer, Lient.
Peary, TJ. 8. Ji., says of Cleveland's
baking powder, which he used on his
Arctic Expeditions:
Uleveiana s stood tne tests oi nse
in those high latitudes and severe tern
peratnres perfectly and gave entire sat
isfaction. Mrs. Peary considers that
there is no better baking powder made
than Cleveland e. I shall take it again
on my next expedition."
Human Magnets.
Experiments made recently by scien
tific men in France have developed a
curious and altogether unexpected fact,
namely, that certain persons possess a
magnetic polarity that is, they are
found to act after the manner of mag
nets, having, in fact, north and south
poles. In such a case, the individual
on being completely undressed and
placed near a sensitive galvanometer,
will, when turned on a vertical axis,
canse a deflection first in one direction
and then in the other, just as a magnet
will do. It is not assumed that all
persons psosesa this polarity, but in
the case of Professor Mnrani, an
Italian, upon whom the experiment
was tried, tbe phenomenon was un
mistakably exhibited, it being found
that his beast corresponded to a north
pole and his back to a south pole.

O. N. Denny, of Corvallis, appointed
by Governor Lord, organised on the 8th
day of March, with V, 8. Mason as
president, J. E. Haseltine as vice-president,
Phillip Meteohsa as treasurer,
Henry E. Dosch as superintendent and
J. F. Batuhelder as secretary and the
undersigned executive committee.
The commission presents to the peo
ple of the state the following statement
and appeal:
The resources ot Oregon are mani
fold. We have the fluost of agricul
tural, fruit and g railing lands, while
our timber forests, salmon fisheries and
blooded stock can not be surpassed.
Besides this our mineral lands both in
Eastern and Western Oregon are richer
and broader in extent than in any of
the other Pacific! coast states. Sot
withstanding all this, the resources of
Oregon are not known to the outer
world as they should be.
For tbe purpose of advertising to the
world these resources, the above com
mission has been appointed to devise
ways and means to - have our state
represented at the Trans-Mississippi
and International Exposition to be
held at Omaha from June 1st to No
vember 1st, 1898.
The exposition is primarily intended
to embrace the industrial resources of
tbe states west of tbe Mississippi river,
but Eastern states, the British colonies,
Mexico and Central snd South Ameri
can republics win participate, ana
many Eastern governments will be rep
resented. Tha buildings aud grounds
and tbe arrangements will make the
exposition in extent and completeness
second only to the World's Columbian
fair.
To the intelligent people of this
state it is unnecessary to make a de
tailed statement of the manifold ad'
vantages to be derived from sn exhibi
tion at Omaha of the various products
which go to make up the resources of
Oregon, as a means of attracting the
agriculturist, the stock and fruit
grower, the miner, tne manufacturer
and tbe capitalist seeking investments
or a new field in which to follow their
avocation or invest their accumulated
wealth.
Therefore we give briefly the plan
which the commission have adopted to
iccomplish this end, which is as fol
lows: '
In the absence of a state appropria
tion for the purpose of making an Ore
gon exhibit at Omaha, the commission
must rely upon the voluntary coutribu
tion of its public spirited people. The
commission has made a careful esti
mate of tbe cost of an exhibit, and find
that it can be carried successfully witb
the sum of $20,000.
It is a foregone conclusion that the
legislature of 1899, witb the business
sentiment of the state st its back, v. ill
redeem these certificates at tbeir face
value.
On this basis the commission will
at an early date solicit subscriptions
throughout the state.
Ceitincates signed by its officers will
be given for the amount subscribed, the
total issue of such certificates and the
expenditures thereunder not to exceed
the authorized amount of $20,000.
When the legislature makes an ap
propriation to reimburse the subscrib
ers, these certificates, properly en
dorsed, will be full evidence of such
subscription snd- will be paid upon
presentation from the funds at the (lis
posal of tbe commission.
The commission will publish on the
first of each month the names of sub
scribe rs and the amount of their sub
scription, and on the Slstof December,
1898, statement in detail of receipts
and disbursements.
Mr. H. E. Dosch, oar superintend
ent, is now in Omaha making his se
lection from tbe choice space that has
been reserved for the Oregon exhibit,
Tbe commission present this appeal
for moral and financial support to the
loyal people of the state.

WEEKLY MARKET LETTER.
riado Tundltlon la Leading title
! of the World. , '-'"'
The wheat traders are kept bnsy
those days watching Leitwr and Ar
mour, and are unable to see their wny
sloarly in May. They have given up
fighting Lcltor, fii.a if lt ie to have
any scrimmage it will be with Armour.
The latter has been buying in the
Northwest and Southwest and will
bring 000 oars of wheat from the North
west to Chicago. . Last week lie was
the sellor of May. There was al
liquidation by holders here and in the
Northwest, the latter being closely
Identified with Armour. Shorts in the
Northwest have been covering, some
large lines having been taken,, No one
but scalpers has the temerity to soil
May short, and they do not stand long,
as they know that Leiter controls it,
and can put the price where he desires.
The attention of the trade is attracted
to the July and September. There is a
disposition to discount the effects ot a
possible large crop here and in Europe
this year by scllling the new crop
futures at the wide difference under
May. Those who have been bulls on
May, if they are in the market at all,
are selling July and September. The
former has the preference, but there is
more risk in selling it, owing to the
crop uncertainties. Some .traders on
July at 90o think that September at
78c is about on a right basis. On the
other band some very good traders
who have been and are still long on
May are bearish on September and be
lieve it should be sold on all bulges.
They are afraid of tbe short side of
July, but think the September a safe
sale st lac under the July. Nooneia
selling May wheat now except Armour
and those who have case stuff to de
liver. . Tbe shorts sie getting out, and
the market is narrowing so that the
speculative shortage by the first of May
is liable to be very small. Those who
bave the wheat bought will get the
cash stuff in May, As Chicago is the
highest market in the country, May
wheat here being 6c over New York
and Baltimore, 4?4a over St. Louis,
6 S-8o over Toledo, 6?4'o over cash
wheat in Minneapolis and Duluth, it is
natural that wheat should be drawn
from other than the regular sections
and shipped to this market,

"To the American People; The fre

undo by nmlic.ioits or mininlormetl In
dividuals that Cuba would Horopt or
could be forced to accept autonomy or
anything short of inl'inilenre, bus
Unpolled us to make adutiiiileMiid tliml
statement on this subject. . From the
first, our motto hs beiui '.'Independ
ence or Death.' . We n re now more
firmly than ever detenu ined to carry
out mi r programme. As wo will not
acept, we will not even discuss tlio pro
posals of autonomy. After three yours
ot the most sanguinary and tincivilixnd
warfare of modern times, carried on by
Spain, we are stronger than ever. It is
for ns to say what will musty us, not
for others. Our ideas and our nntioim!
honor we can confide to the keeping ol
ourselves alone.
"I cannot think that the American
people have forgotten the principles
lniil down by their own declaration of
independence, or can I believe that any
true American can be found who would
advise us to forsake the idea of repub
lican government for monaruhiul gov
ernment, even in its most liberal form.
"There is no way to coimiot the
Cubans to accept autonomy, except by
force of arms.
"We have fought three years, not
against Spain alone, but against the
whole woild. Not a helping hand was
extended to ns, no country gave us
equal rights with Spain. The right to
arm our people by purchasing weaixins
in this country and transporting them
to Cuba is admitted, but although en
gaged in lawful traffic, we had to run
tbe blockade to gut from these shores
and again run the gauntlet in Culm,
"Our ships and cargoes were seised,
subjected to delay, but invariably re
stored, by the slow and costly process
of lW. Nevertheless, we - never
faltered. We always appreciated the
fact that the sympathy of the adminis
tration was with us. Spain ha proven
impotent to compel us by force to ac
cept autonomy. She now desires the
aid ot the United States to compel ns to
accept '
"I cannot believe that ttie American
nation would ever lend itself to the
most treacherous and bloodstained mon
archy of history for such a putpote.
Should such prove to be tbe case, how
ever, 1 declare, in tne name ui the
Cuban people in arms, that force alone
can compel our submission, we who
have seen hundreds of thousand of our
race and families exterminated by slow
starvation, by a cowardly decree of the
most inhuman commander of sanguin
ary Spain, will fight against anything
but independence, no matter who op
poses us. .
"But if, unfortunately, this incred
ible proposal be carried Into effect,
and American bayonets be arrayed
against us in our struggle for freedom,
and in aid of the Spanish monarchy,
we will fight ou, sadly, but deter
minedly, and let history judge whether
the vanquished bad not a purer idea of
free institutions than our victors. In
such case we will be exterminated, but
future generations will again take up
our flag snd our aspirations, and Cuba
wi'l yet be free.
"Nor will we ever agree to the truee
nntil our independence is established,
We will continue to fight, as did the
Americans under Jackson at the battle

that tha United States will ever try to

something must take place on the Costa

diplomacy can settle the difference.
