Salem Statesman, That was an impressive truth lit tered in tht funeral sermon over the body of Homer BelL when Rev Townsend said that in an avenge life of sixty years, we spend one third of our life in sleep, one third In growing opto manhood, and on ly twenty years remain in which to do our duty towards God aud man, and how important that thoe years be well spent. Senator John Mitcbeix has written to the editor of this paper iu answer to our inquiry about preced ing! of the 63d Congress as printed daily in the CoDgtmsionul Record: "Any of your fi lends can obuiinthe Record for the whole of the present session by forwarding a money order for L 00 to Hon. P. W j Pal mer, pub lic printer, Washington D. C." The West Side is in receipt of t he Con gressional Record every week and our friends are welcome to call And inspect it, I .. ! the an jranciMco call is au thority for the (act that a bill is to be introduced iu congress asking for an appropriation of one hun dred million dollars with which to purchase British Columbia. The money is to be paid in ten install ments of ten millions a year, with pnt interest Considering that Alaska cost us $7,200,000 and Brit ish Columbia is ranch smaller, the price seems to be a very liberal one. It is probably only a vision ary scheme of someone. Now that a Mid winter fair is to be held in California our people are making preparations to spend a few weeks there. Itwouldbeapleatant time of the year in California. The mid-winter fair had established a department of publicity and pro motion. The fair will be held from Jan. 1st to June 30th aud the site will cover a hundred acres. There will be five principal buildings, as follows: manufactures' and liberal arts, agricultural and horticultural, mechanical arts, fine arts and dec orative art. and administrative building. ' ' 1 Bbo. Doughtv of the Observer, commenting on our allusion to the Orcgonian railway running only three trains a week, says: "Wi live in a Duoyant nope mat ere long, as the times change to hive our 'broad gauge' the? main thor oughfare for all the west side busi ness to the metropolis and Newport-See." That word "change" is what gives us a cold shiver, We heard about a "change" laiit November and business has been ''g'ii(: through" ever since. For good ness sake brother Doughty do coin some new word in giving exp es sion to your thoughts in the tuttire. Hebe is a country full of all kiwis of resources, yet a country in which business is paralyzed, truthfully says the Oregonian. Within a short time we have passed from a state ol prosperous activity to a state of de pression without a parallel in nifira ory of this generation. So remark able a change could have come about only through the fault of our people themselves. We have destroyed credit, the basis of activity and pros perity,the mainspring of a progress ive civilzstion. We have destroyed it by two methods. First, we have pursued a policy that threatens to substitute an inferior money for the standard money of the world: and second, we have voted to set aside the policy through which the indus try of our country, has been pro tected and developed during thirty years, and to permit the introduc tion of the products of the industry of all cheap-labor and cheap-capital countries in free competition tion with our own. These acta have given to' our business the severest shock it has known these forty year. The only way to avert rnin is to le j trace our steps. We must maintain sound money, and we must remove menace of free trade. iKCJtKTARY IlKRItKRT OX TlUi mri'ATlOX Secretary llerliert talked brlotlv at Chicago ou theouequnuMon of ab sorbing tutored at the present time, the flmuunal altuuMoii and Uie legis lation it requires. He said: "A lack of conftdttttc iu American aocurl ties, IkHIi oo the part of Kuropoau and home inventors, has caumnl the present financial panic, Tor which the SuRRMAS act is directly re sponsible. If Coiigre repeals this law, as I hoi it will, the worst will be over." It is well to bear in miu the way in which the Sukkman law acta to produce a lack of eoufUloneo. It provides for constant iasuo, at a fixed rate, of legal tender notes for the purchase of silver. These note, together with the ouudandltg Unt ted States notes, constitute tho le gal tender currency of the country Issued by the Government. :' They form, roughly speaking, about one half the currency, the remainder be ing in silver dollars. It is perfect ly plain that the Government can not go on for ever adding to its notes, while not adding to its gold aud be able to imy notes iu gold, . The kuowlege of this met has caused the general lack . of confidence, which was slow aud gradual it first, but became more marked as the uotea increased and the gold fell off. For fourteen years the govern ment had always held at leant l(W, 000,000 iu gold in the treasury. While it hcald that amouutjdmtrust, though it had its influence aud was increasing, was not acute, and did not directly and obviously affector dinary transactions. When, in the downward course of the gold reserve the limit of 100,000,000 was reach ed aud passed, everybody felt that there was no certanty how low the reserve would go nor how soon gold payment would become inipOHtdble, Then the lack of coufldeuce became luteimitiiHl, took the form aluioeit of panic, aud proved so obHtiuate that the whole country has suffered from it, trade has been reudered very diffl cult, and iu some direction1 ha been nearly paralysed. Now, if the law of 18!K) be repealed, if the purchase of silver be stopped, if the bmue of notes shall cease, the immediate cause of distrust is removed. Kea sooable calculations for the future will become possible, which every oue iustinctively clings to when credit is restricted, money will be released, activity will be remimcd, and sound bnsiness will agaiu be come safe aud prosin'rous. These are the plain facts which make the repeal as the act of 1800 InijH'iitive, 'ew fork Times. They say figures will not lie, so let us take some figures from the lost report of the secretary of the treas ury of the United Stales from July 1st, IMOto July 1, 1891. Our object in giving these figures is to throw some light on how vastly improved our financial system is now on whut it was then: July I, 1(410.

What do the above figures prove! First that our credit should havs been lowest when we hud no money on band; that it should have boeu best in 1891 when we had most mon ey on haud, History teaches that to liavtbeentruo Beeond--That in 1882, the na tional banks had 100,81 5,0(10, mom notes in circulation than in 1891. Third That the circulation' per capita in 1801 was nearly twice whut It was iu 1800. In spit ol'tt civil war, our country has been prosperous for thirty two years. All at once, commencing Nov, 1802, public confidence bo came shaken and in 181)3, we find a prostration of business, and our natioual credit at home aud. nhroad shaken. While the Bherman silver law undoubtedly liussomKhlgtodo with It, can we lay all the blame there! The renders of the Wkhi, Sidk are asked to study these state ments aud form their owu opinions, If it is not the distrust iu the politic of the party which has recently come lu power, please explain why this sudden prostration iu buslnesst Less than a year ago money was plentiful' and business was prosper ous. How is it nowt lie honest and say where the fault lies. .. ' si j mi i ii a GoVKKNOit Pknnovkr wants to convene the Oregon legislature in special acwdou in Older to pirn a stay of execution law. In an inter view, Senator Jeft Mjera, of Linn ()., saidi "If the 'gislature would reHul the law appropriating money forthejuto mill, the soldier's home aud some other.uuiHessary appro priations, and the assessment law that hits raised Caiu with the schools and restore the mortgage tax law, an extra seaslou might do good.
