Silver and the Law.
Okkgon City, Jan. 31, 1898.
From Oregonian January 20th :
"The contention is that the present
plight ot silver is due to descrimination
of law J that an act of congress declaring
the monetary standard to be 412j grains
of silver as well as 2'i.2i grains of gold
will restore silver to its old value
It is a strange misconception and it is a
hard one to answer, etc."
He there goes on to say that silver
men go on faith for their opinions, like
people do for their leligion, and it is no
more use to submit to them evidence or
reason, than to argue the infallibility of
the Pope to a Scotch covenanter, etc.
They cannot be convinced because
they will no be. Here the editor contra
dicts himself in one short paragraph.
He tells us that people take their re
j ligious on faith without evidence, and
that the Scotch covenanters have no
faith to receive the infallibility of the
Pope. Either he must claim the Pope
to be infallible proved by evidence which
is rejected, or he must admit that the
proof for infallibility is not strong enough
to convince a covenanter. So that a
covenater wants reason for his religion
which makes the editor contradict
himself.
But we can tell the editor that the
evidence of the Pope's infallibility is
about on a par with evidence advanced
by the Oregonian for the gold standard.
It is no use to brag of the support of
history and science without facts, which
are in favor of the silver argument.
.Let the Oregonian explain why there
never was any serious difference in the
value of gold and silver for over two
centuries, while any of the leading
countries were minting both, free, at a
raiio, and since India dropped the free
mintage, there has been a diversion of
over fifty per cent.
No wonder the Oregonian finds it hard
to convince Bilver men, it must do more
than boast of history and science, it must
use them to convince its opponents, hut
this would not do; every fact of history
and economic science proves the stability
of the world's values on a bimetallic
basis and the hmt four year's f xperionoo
of two separate standards is enough to
satisfy most people with the gold stand
ard. Amifs.

That every day our store is filled with buyers
