The conflicting opinions between the
goldltes and the silveritei ire confusing,
and the radical advocate on either aide
of the battle of words, figures and print
er'a ink is prone to exaggeration. To
lay the stress of the hard times entirely
to the demonetization of silver is jump
ing at conclusions. As well in econo
mics as in the purely physical sciences
a number of causes produce a certain
result. Thus the only cause of the fall
of snow is not gravity, nor is the short
ening of the days In winter the only
cause of the lower temperature then
prevailing, Mush times always culmi
nate in over-speculation and over-trading
; these reach the point where the
'last straw breaks the camel's back"
and failures of great commercial and
banking houses occur. Then men of
means become frightened and hoard
their wealth, and credits are sharply
looked after. Industry stagnates until
the economic conditions again assume a
healthy, safe status, and the minds of
business men get over the panicky
feeling.
Silver, as a commodity, Is now nearer
to 32 to 1, In comparison with gold, than
to the legal ratio of our standard dol
lar, 16 to 1. The silverites claim the
United States can, single-handed, by
act of congress, maintain the unlimited
coinage of silver at 16 to 1 in the face of
the world. In the money markets silver
. and gold are considered as commodities.
If we debased our gold coin it would, to
the extent of the debasement, be worth
less in foreign exchango. Through the
manipulations of the millionaire bank
ers, gold has become the standard of
measurement of the value of silver,
whereas, in this country for 100 years
ilver was the standard by which the
value of gold was measured. They con
trot the bulk of the world't coined gold.
Can this country nnborse them by an
act of congress? During the 21 years
elapsed since out silver dollar was de
monetized, their power has grown prodi
giously. They form the giant evil of
the century the great gold devil. The
crowned beads of Europe are in league
with them, " ,
There is no doubt of it, as any one
who investigates calmly and dispa
sionately must admit, that the price of
staple products has decreased greatly in
value through the appreciation of gold
The mortgages, however, remain payable
in gold coin at the old figure. The
European manipulation of the trade of
India and South America by means of
depreciated silver have produced their
quota toward this result. The whole
country suffers from the consequent Jis-
arrangement of trade. Of this we may
be certain that if congress were to pass
an act to coin silver in unlimited qtian
titles, the goldbugs would put their
heads together to, if possible, bring
gold to premium, in order that they
might derive profit thereby. But silver
would rise, and wheat and cotton.
The shaky condition of the national
treasury demonstrates that Uncle 8am
is not a success as a banker. The
scheme of those who would help us out
of the difficulty by the issuance of great
quantities of paper money, based on the
"faith of the nation" as security, is bot
tomless. They would be promises to
pay on demand, and how would the
government pay them or in what?
Bonds of small denominations at low
rate of interest, say to run 10 years,
would be wiser and safer.
The circulation of primary redemption
money, which is only gold, is too small
We need either more legal tender silver
or paper money. France, the most
prosperous country of Europe (notwlth
standing her debt is 14,500,000,000),
though her population is only a littl
over half that of the United States, has
in active circulation a greater amount of
money and her total money per capita,
52, is more than double ours, $25.
France is but a shirt pocket In coropari
son with our vast area, and her example
ought to satisfy any candid mind that
we have not money enough for the
needs of business. Congress should
. ...
Dase our nnanciai sysiem on that o
trance, for the French have the repn
tatlon of being the shrewdest financiers
in the world.

A writer in the Immigration Age
makes the estimation that at a coat of
about $100,000, not including ditches
and reservoirs, au electric power plant
could be established In any part of the
arid regions where artesian wells can be
secured, that would irrigate 15,080
acres, or about U)i sections. The
plant would include a 1000 horse power
steam engine, two GOO horse power
dynamos, and 50 15 horse power dyna
mos. The cost per acre of the power
plant would be a little over (10, and the
writer estimates that for 123 days, the
entire irrigation season, the plant could
be operated at a cost of 12,300,Ipss than
tl per acre. It is by consentration of
capital that the rainless sections of Ore'

Wiikm Dolph was first elected ho own'

was a railroad attorney at a fixed salary
of 10,000 a year. We know he did not
dispose of his railroad interests when
he took his seat in the United Slates
senate. Is any man fool enough to
believe he resigned his position as
attorney when his services were render

Snow began falling on the evening of
the 1st ana by tho next noon there was
almost a foot on the level; In the after
noon It began to sleet and by (he next
flight the trees were loaded so heavy
that the tops and limbs began to break
off under the weight. Some fruit and
shade trees were also badly used.
Although there was almost a foot of
snow there was too much storm and
wlion the storm abated too much mud
for sleighriding.
A band of beggars came into the

Such pilfering beggars do not deserve
