WHY HARD TIMED. In 1873 the report of tiie agricultural society of one of the laent states of the Middle Went Btntei : "Th farmera have worked, watched and waited for an iideqiinte reward until weariness Iiuh well nigh turned to hope' lesBiiefis. FHrmiiiL' Iihh een a financial failure for the past td'eo yeara. Hard toil Iiuh opened up (inu farms and brouuht to the bins the urodnclH of unexampled luirvi'.sis. but tlio hrIch h:ive linidlv paid expunpes and bought cheap clotliinu until th.i cotnim; linrvcst." Twenty-three year nifo, "goldbuif" had not bucuine u term of reproach and coutempt. and the free silver agitation was hidden in Hie womb of dim fu turity. Clearly, then, the silver ques tion was not al the bottom of the "hard times" ot 187.'1, there being no gold or silver in circulation. During the 40 years ending with 1810 money rose in value in comparison with staple com modities by 1)0 per cent and in the fifties corn sold at 0 to 8 cents a bushel in Illinois. That extraordinary fall in prices was not caused by the "crime of 73." There was, practically, free coinage of silver the world over except in England. These two periods of depression were not ascribed to any invidious treatment of the silver dollar. What produced them? The causes, in each case, were not one but several or manv. In 1873 the reaction from the civil war had reached its lowest level, and stagnation was Inevitable. A collapse follows a boom. It is possible, therefore, that the free-silverltp, however honest or zealous he may : be, overlooks the number of other adverse influences that have brought ih to the present stress of circumstances, centering his mind'ri eye only on the silver dollar and the shylnck goldbug. As long asthe financial agitation con tinues, business will nut resume a healthy activity. Money, being cow ardly, remains in hiding. With busi ness in full swing, $1000 in coin, liqui dates debts to an amount well nigh incalcuable, fur it ,-keeiis a movin' ", and swells the volume of business wonderfully. Hut now, the first man, out ot debt, that gets his lingers on that $1000 puts it In his stocking and there it staytt, inuit, dead. Indeed, stability of our financial system is of as much, if not greater importance than the question at issue between the goldbug anil the silverbugs. We want to know "where we are at,'1 and the sooner we knov that the bettor. 20 years after the war, It elected president. Eight years later it elected him again. That exhibition of vital force and recuperative power shows that the democratic party is tougli practically Indestructible. The party will survive its present ills Bui it must have medical care and good nursing, somebody to minister to itsim periled body, somebody to stimulate and direct its rallying powers. This is the work of the democratic leaders of the tast, ol the men who have always led the party when it has marched to victory. They have no ordinary case to Meal with, but it Is not at all a hopeless case. They must save the part) from the frightful disaster which threatens it They will save it if they work together with zeal, intelligence, and all their might. N. Y. Times (Deni.) Through every newspaper office day after day go all the weakness of the world all the vanities that want to be puffed, all the mistakes that want to be corrected, all the dull speakers that want to be thought eloquent, all the meanness that wants to get its wares noticed gratis in order to save the tax of the advertising column. Through editorial and reportorial rooms all the follies and shams of the world are seen dav after day, and the temptation is neither to believe in Ciod, mini or woman. It is no surprise to us that in this pro- fesMoii there are some skeptical men. we only wonder that newspaper men believe in aiiyt'iintr. Kx. It ii absurd to think the Democratic convention will nominate Teller because he is a free tilver man, when there are plenty of good free silver men in the party ; of course, the silver republicans and populists would en:lorse him. Rut the deuiociats want a man that will get aii the democratic votes besides the free silver republicans and populists. CIRCUIT COURT. Adjourned Session Closed on Last Friday Several Cases Dismissed. this savKKiTKir chance. Tho bolt of a few of the Western re publicans from tho party will not great 1 y endanger McKinley'a chances, unless there should bo a coin tiination of all of the silver foices upon one opposing candidate. With thosilver vole divided between a democratic nnd a populist candidate, and possibly Teller as a third silver rnndidiite, the republicans could easily lose Colorado, California, Nevada, Idaho, Molilalia and Wyoming, in addi tion to the whole South, still win. Hut if the free silver democrats and popu list can combine on cither a democrat like rtland, or a republicans like Teller, or a populist like 1'ennoyor, they would give McKinlov a vory hard battle, with jood chances of carrying tho country. 1'liero is no disguising or denying the fact that the ' silver craze'' has reached immense proportions, and only a divi sion in its ranks will prevent its ultimate Buccess. lint lyicb a union of these various parties or fraction of parties is very improbable, hence McKinley's election may nt present be confidently expected.

There was a curious sight on Main street last week, and it can be stated positively that not the oldest resident of Oregon City ever saw one similar in all its details. A large crowd gatherod that day on the sidewalk in front of the Bank of Oregon City and watched with apparently absorbing interest the arrival of a truck drawn by four powerful horses. The mysterious article which was evi dently of great weight, was carefully wrapped in ha gifing and surrounded by a .i.v Airr.M..

Oregon TIIK NBW HAKE IS BANK OP OK EG ON CITY queer looking harness that added to its mysterious appearance.. " ivhat is it? was on everybody s lips. Put not one could answer. Speculation ranged all the way from a "gigantic cannon ball" to a "monument of uniiiie design.'' When (lie great wagon with its ponder ous and mysterious lohd was driven in front of The Rank of Oregon Citv and 17.. Material 41.08 120 75 stopped there, we learned that the 18 03 87 I curiosity was an immense burglar and 21 60 75 mob-proof sale of original design made 05 50 by iVilliam Corliss of Providence. R. I.. 8 25 one of I lie brothers of steam engine 27 50 fame. Upon making inquiry we learn 10 24 that this particular safe is over four feet .490 04 in diameter, weighs 7'j tons, and is 4 25 102 61 built upon lines that make it as im- 13.00 112 25 pregnable to attacks by burglars and 47 25 mobs as the Spanish once found Gibral tar to be when they attempted to wrest that fortress from tho British. Having thus h d our attention called to this subject mb have taken some trouble to inform ourselves nnd find that the Corliss safe is a woiiderlul produc tion, and, like many other radical de partures from usual method, its con ception and perfection is the result a ot trivial circumstance that entirely chang ed the life work of its designer and gave to the world a untune and very valuable invention. Some twenty years ngo Mr. William Corliss, then the treasurer and manager of the famous Cirliss Steam Engine Company of Providence, K. 1 .(of which his brother, the late Ueorge H V truss, was the founder), while acting upon a committee of the Merchants' National Bank of that city, was called upon to purchase a burglar-prool sale, upon investigating the system of construction practiced by the leading safe and vault manufacturers, Mr. Corliss pronounced it radically wrong and inherently de fective, t Realizing the importance of the sub ject and comprehending the mechanical defects of the prevailing system ol con struction, Mr Corliss' mind dwelt upjn it so much that in the course of a few vears he conceived wiuit is now the Corliss safe, nnd ri n k 1 1 v embiriced in the business of mnnufucliiri'ig it During the past few months a stori ng report lias oeen issuea ny tne government upon his subject. We refer to the report of the treasury commission upon safe and vault construction; this commission having been appointed by act of congress. This report confirms the position takBn by Mr. Corliss when the subject was first brought to his attention, for it practically condemns as worthless the standard and usual method of safe and vault construction. The report is pro fusely illustrated with photographic views of safes (made bv all the promin ent builders) that have been cut through, torn apart or opened with explosives. The Corliss safe was the only one that withstood all attacks made upoo it, and its adoption by the treasury department was recommended . In speaking of the Corliss safe the comission says: "The whole is a well contrived, ingenious and novel nystem, as essentially a type by itself as is the Corliss Steain Kngiue in its class of invention." The Bank of Oregon City people are more than pleased with their new pur chase and take great delight in showing it to their customers. One of the otlicials, when asked about the new safe, said in substance: "This safe solves the burglar-proof question. This, to my mind, is the only strictly burglar-proof safe manufactured and I defy any one to get into It by means pf explosive. Why it would take '' The sentence wos not finished nor was it necessary The construction of the safe precluded all questioning. We congratulate our neighbors upon the possession of such a safe for their securities. It is only another evidence of their enterprise and orudence. We prophesy that their example will be followed by many.
