OREGON CITY, JUNE 24, 1898.
Binder twine going up and whtat go
ing down. But we'll have prosperity
bve and bye .
The Oregonian points out that, but
for the immense republican vote in
Multnomah Kincaid and Lyman would
have been elected. And the Multnomah
vole is what moves the republican party
to oppose registration. "
The gold standard newspapers of the
world announced that the Oregon
election knelled the death of silver coin
age, and at once the wheat market of
the world collapsed. Verily, wheat and
silver go together. Roseburg Review.
Ahtwk Kkwkll, the late silver candi
date for vice president, is too old to be
accepted as a soldier, but he has made
the United States a present of a Any ship
to use in (he war against Spain. The
silver men cannot be excelled in patriotic
devotion to their country. Roseburg
Review.
Duuino the campaign the Oregonian
offered $10,000 reward to any one that
would prove that free coinage would not
cheapen labor, etc. Sidney Dell made
the proof and demanded the reward,
but the Oregonian refused to pay and
now Mr. Doll has brought suit to collect
the same, and the question will be
decided in the courts of Multnomah
county.

They are feeding raisins to horses in
Fre3no and the change from barley is
both successful as to the horses and
profitable to the man. Twelve pounds
of raisins is equal to twenty pounds of
barley and raisins are only worth $20
a ton againBt $10 more . for barley. So
far as heard the animals have made no
protest against the change of diet.
That is nearly as had as burning corn for
coal in Kansas. Sacramento News.
The vote cast ot the late election was
quite Bhort, and did not exceed that
thrown for supreme judge in June, 1890
85.000. This is a falling off of over
10.000 as compared with the vote of Mc
Kinley and Bryan. That there was
much BDathv on the Cth Inst, is evi
denced by the very large number of
stav-at-homes. The republicans turned
out en masse and cast almost, a solid vote
for their nominees. Had the war with
Spain not completely overwhelmed the
financial and other economic questions
there would have boen a decidedly dif
ferent result. .
Is Massachusetts the saving bank
deposits average $200 per head of the
whole population. This is largely due
to the futilities for depositing small
saviiiL'S. These are absent in other
states, and it is estimated hy Edward
Atkinson that if postal savings banks
were established, in twenty years the
average deposits in the United i'tate
might be $100 per capita, an aggregate
sum ot $7 500,000,000. Mr. Atkinson
does not say so, but this immense sum
would have to be invested and would be
sufficient to accomplish the nationaliza
tion of railroads; telegiaphs and other
p.ihlic services.

An OldSoldier
His Story of What Hood's Sar
saparilla Has Done
Whole Family Greatly Helped by
This Medicine.
"I am an old run down soldier, my
whole system being out of order and my
right side partially paralyzed. I have
tried various remedies and realized only
temporary relief. I have been taking
Hood's Sarsaparilla and Hood's Pills, and
have derived more real benefit from them
than anything I have tried. My wife has
been greatly helped by Hood's Sarsapa
rilla. She was all run down and her
system much out of order. My two little
boys recovered quickly from the effects
of diphtheria by taking Hood's Sarsapa
rilla, which rid them of troublesome sores
and symptoms of the croup. They are
now well and hearty." W. F. Burnett,

Society of Boston said: "Since lhS3, or
the date of the doprosMou in business,
the ranks of tlio unemployed are kept
full, and apparently little ptogress is
made in diminishing their numbers. In
former years it was customary for manu
facturers to retain during the entire year
a very huge proportion of their help, but
lately it is becoming more and mora the
custom to employ a large force for cer

employment for two or three months a
proportion of their operatives."

Tub law passed by the legislature of
Washington declaring that a contract to
pay in gold coin should not bo spoeiflcally
enforced by the courts, but tho debt
might bo "paid in and fully satisfied
with any kind of lawtul money or cur
rency of the United States" lias been
declared unconstitutional by the jsupremo
court of that state. The court decided
that It was an attempt to legislate on a
aubioet belonging exclusively to the
federal government and that "a stlpu
lution in a note or mortgago that the
debt shall be paid only in gold coin of
the present standard value, and that the
decree aud judgment thereon shall to
provide is valid."
