Tin champions of the silver dollar
who maintain that the business depres
sion has been produced sole); by the
demonetisation of silver and s conse
quent scarcity of legal tender money,
forgot the condition of Germany about
two and a half years after she had re
ceived from France a war indemnity of
eleven hundred million dollars in coin
This enormons Increase of money in
Germany made it so abundant that
bankers almost begged for the oppor
tunity to place loans at rates ss low as
one per cent. As a consequence
thousands of new financial and In'
dustrial enterprises were called into
existence. In Prussian alone 087 new
iolnt stock companies were founded
during the year 1872 and the first six
months of 1873, with an aggregate
capital of 1481,000,000. The sudden
growth of industries, and the tempta
tions of city life bad induced hundreds
of thousands of the peasantry to desert
agricultural pursuits and to seek em.
ployment in trades. Business was
booming, but the bubble burst In the
fell of 1873. Great fortunes melted
rapidly away, industry became paralyzed
and the whole of Germany sank to a
depth of financial, Industrial and com
mercial depression that had never been
equalled. The $1,100,000,000 had not
proved to be an unmixed blessing, and it
was all legal tender, too. This fact
also deserves the consideration of the
silver men. From Jsnuary 1, 1879,
to January 1, 1889, the stock of gold,
silver and paper money io the
country Increased' from $1,051,420,945
- to $1,687,890,022, being an increase of
030,469,677, ot which $426,298,043 was
was gold and 1299,789,288 silver. Dur
ing that 10 years the Increase of popu
lation In the United States was about 30
per cent., while said increase In all
kinds of money was over 00 per cent. ;
notwithstanding here as In other
countries there was a great decline in
the price of numerous commodities.
Does this experience harmonise with
the assumption that a decrease of
money lowers prices, but an increase of
money raises prices? Any csndid
reader can see that the financial question
cannot be solved in a half hour's de
sultory talk on the street corner.
ose FOR TIIR VASAL.
The Nicaragua canal has scored Us
first victory. The bill to construct It by
government money and put it umliir
government control passed the annate
by a vole of 31 to 21 .
This is a substantial advance. Here
tofore the canal has been something
that every body favored and nobody vot
ed for. It Is now within slht of
success.
The measure now goos to the Iiouhu,
and it is to be hoped that a vote mny be
had at an early date on this bill or s
substitute to be pronareu by that body
The bill that the senate has just passed
is not as satisfactory as could be wished,
but the house will doubtless cure most
of the defects. Representative Geary's
bill Is more in line with the popular
idea, for he eliminates the presttnt
stockholders altogether and makes the
directors represent the government
The house will piobaly amend the bill
In accordance with popular feeling to
make the canal a strictly government
undertaking.
The main point has been to got a bill
through the senate. This once done It
is comparatively easy to arrango a satis
factory measure in conference com
miltee, snd there will be fur less danger
of defeat through the dilatory tactics of
its opponents.
The vote In the senate indicates that
Mr. Railroad Huntington's Influence
hss wsned. The majority are not will
inn to be his friends all the time, hnt
ever thov mav do on occasions. Iho
construction of the Nicaragua canal will
will be the deuth blow to the overland
monopoly, and the passage of the bill,
if it is finally passed, will be a notable
victory over corporation influence.
Thk general outlook for business is
brighter now at the opening of the New
Year than It has been fur many months.
Trade has been steadily improving since
last August, and though the gain has
been slow it is none the less inco urag
ing, for the growth is undoubtedly
healthy. The first of the year naturally
brings the cleaning out of a good deal
driftwood in the shape of insolvent con
cerns, but this is In the natural order of
things Sid need occasion no uneasiness
The great majority of business liouses
are today in excellent shape for adjust
ing themselves to the now condition of
trade, and every indication points to a
prosperous year.
THE LEGISLATURE.
Tub report on the industrial depres
sion Issued by the United States llnreuu
of Labor in 1886, stated: "A million
people out of employment, crippling all
dependent upon them, means a loss
to the consumptive power of the country
of at $1,000,000 per doy, or a crippling
the trade of the country of over
$300,000,000 per annum." As the "army
of the unemployed" is estimated to
have doubled since 18S0, no astuteness
of mind is necessary to perceive how
much the country would gain if there
were a way devised to make them self
supporting. Colonization under super
vision of government officials 3ccms the
most practicable.
"Christian Missions in India," is the
subject of a contribution to the Arena
for Jsnuary by Virchand R. Grsndhi, a
native Hindu, who represents the Jain
Community of India at the Parliment of
Religions. If it be true that, as he
states, every convert made in India by
American Missionaries has cost at least
a thousand dollars, it would be far better
and far wiser to spend this money at
home, where more real Christianity is
certainly sorely needed. As soon as,
during the life time of Martin Luther,
the peasantry of Germany had become
Imbued with contempt for the papacy
and cast aside Catholicy as if it were a
solid, worn-out garment, they also cast
ofl all restraint and broke out In bar
baric rebellion against the secular
powers . Liberty of opinion in rel igious
matters had deprived them of all re
straint. According to Ga ndbi, the same
is true of the 140,000,000 paupors, who
belong to the lowest caste of Hindus
and live on one meal a day, among
whom the Christian missionaries secure
their converts. 'Often,' he says,
"these poor people are induced to be
come Chaistiansby the alluring promise
of food, and as soon as these have once
eaten meat or drank wine both of which
are abominations to the Hindu they are
forever outcast even from their own low
caste. And now the trouble begins.
Except where they are kept by the
missionaries, even the English in India
will seldom employ as servant a native
convert. The reason is plain. The
convert conceived the idea that with his
conversion comes the liberty to do any-
wing ue cnooses. Education must
precede the missionary if good is to
come of It. Free secular education
given to the people of India at the
bands of the natives of India would do
in a few years what the missionaries
cannot do In a thousand years."
Tub Nicaragua canal bill passed the
senate Saturday, only one member from
Oregon, Hon. John II . Mitchell, voting
for it. Mr. Dolph, although drawing
I20adav from the public treasury, was
in Salem trying to net re-elected to a
position that the people of the state do
not seem to want him to hold. The con
struction of the Nacaragua canal will be
worth millions of dollurs to the I'aciflc
coast, and it is just such measures as
that that senators are paid to look after,
Dolph lost supporters when he left his
post of duty and returned to Oiegon to

of nine mills for school purposes was

bring as much revenue as the six mill

that cannot be answered without inves

Now that the Oregon legislature is
in session everybody will want to read s
newspaper printed at Salem, the capital.
They will want a paper that gives all
the news. The Statesman is juat such
a paper bright, spicy, active, energetic,
well edited.
It reports the proceedings in detai
every day, not overlooking a single item
in either house. Your senators and re
presentatives were elected on a stated
platform, pledged to carry out certain
policies of reform. You will want to
watch their course in the legislature
and see whether or not they remained
true to their pledges. The Statesman
will give you all of this and more, too,
