Just as rumors are rife that Governor
R oosevt It's canal investigating commis
sion will report that there is "no cause
for action" against the officials who etc e
or wasted the $9,000,000 appropriation,
news comes of the filing of $1,000,000 in
claims against the state for damages
done by Mr. Aldridge's contractors. As
the canal is still unimproved and will
require $12,000,000 to bring it up to date,
it will be a "pretty kettle of fish" for
the taxpayers if none of the rascals are
to be punished.

Wharton Barker, in. the American,
says "the trusts can stand any amount
of denunciation if no bite is to follow the
bark." Just so. They have even decid
ed to incorporate an anti-trust plank in
the next republican platform. They'll
denounce themselves if that will satisfy
the voters. So long as they control the
law-making and the law-enforcing pow
er, they don't care what is said about
them. They are smart enough to see
that anti-trust sentiment is developing
and their next move is to dupe the
voters into believing that the g. o. p.
will give the masses relief.

The speech of Mr. Bryan, at Chicago
last week, evoked great enthusiasm
among his heareis, especially when he
declared that the American government
should pursue in Luzon the same policy
as was pursued in Cuba. The Philip
pines, he said, came into our hands by
accident of war, and, being there, should
have been treated on American princi
ples, and not on those practiced by
European governments. The policy of
the United States, he claimed, should
have been to create a republic in the
Philippines and say to the world,
"hands oft' and let that republic live
His audience was in sympathy with his
suggestions regarding the Philippines
and punctuated his speech with cheers
It is of no concern to the republican
politicians of the country whether the
administration of William McKinley
has been that of a statesman or an ab
ject opportunist; whether ithaseleva'
ted the army or sacrificed it j whether it
has purified our political life or lowered
it; whether it has been honest or equiv
ocal j straightforward or shifty. For
Biich thoughts as these there is no room
in the minds of the men who will control
next year's republican national conven
tion. But what will make some differ
ence to them is whether or not Mr. Mc
Kinley can be re-elected. Nothing the
administration can do to the country
will incommode them ; but what it may
do to their party is a matter that may
fill their patriotic breasts with perturba
tion and even alarm. Daily Oregonian.

The esteemed President McKinley is
recruiting soldiers as fast as he can, on
the quiet, to guard the United States.
Ho is afraid to make a general call for
volunteers because that would let the
cat out of the bag by its failure. The
recruiting is ostensibly to get soldiers for
the Philippines but "owing to the rainy
season they will not be sent there for
several months" which means that the
regular army has been sent to the is
lands and that these recruits are wanted
to fight the working mules right here at
home. Another significant fact is that
they are being enlisted for two years, al
ttrough there is no law providing for any
Biich enlistment. Tnat will make their
time expire just after the next presiden

The Oregonian.
Editor Coi'kikr-Herai.d : On the edi
torial page of the Oregonian of last
week's issue is found the following ex
traordinary gem of personal, political,
aud financial interest to the readers of
both the Oregmian and the Coi'rikr
Hkrai.u. Not on account of its pleas
antries, its journalistic amenities, or its
pretended regard for its esteemed con-tempt-poraries,
but as showing the atti
tude of the gold standard press towards
the people and their general welfare.
The following classic head lines are
from the Oregonian :
1118 NAME IS JOHN T. LIGHTER,
And, for Tim Honor ok HL'man Nati'rk,
. It Is Hoi-kd Tiikhr Is Not an
Etti'Ab Stnti'B in Orkoon.
And this from the Astorian, which oc-
casions the above :
It is whispered that The Oi etronian
Publishing Company will soon pay off
i,a Iwtat.u .l.O.t 1. a V. ...:.. I.I I I c . i
i" ., uir, w mo iiuuHuis ijiie As
surance Company. What connection
lias this with the blindness that refuses
to see the betraval of Portland by the
O. K. & N through "Jim" Hill'e
schemes !
Then again the Malthusian giant in
his rage conies back at the "scurviest
scrub" in Oregon after this fashion,
which for vituperation of a high order is
without parallel in Oregon literature:
The insinuation here is vile. Unfor
tunately, The Oregonian's debt to the
Equitable Life has not been paid, nor
any part of It, nor can it he paid soon ;
though we hone to pay it sometime.
Our present object is to remark that
here is a poor, contemptible, slanderous,
lying whelp, who delights in attribulirg
venal ami dishonorable motives to oth
ers. Not long ago he KSriied that The
Oregonian had tried to extort money
from Mr. A. B. Hammond, of the Astor
ia & Columbia River railroad, as the
price of friendship and favor to Mr.
Hammond's business undertakings.
Such a scoundrel puts himself beyond
the recognition of honorable men. The
Oregonian advises tho people of Astoria,
and all others whom it may concern, to
beware of the man who, in h is attribu'
ing venal and dishonorable motives to
others, without cause or truth, adver
tises his own character.
The name of this fellow is John T.
Lighter. He probably is the scurviest
scrub in Oregon. For the honor of hu
man nature, it may be hoped there is
not another.
It is not our intention to particularly
notice the quarrels of these newspapers
about their personal and business af
fairs, but a great paper like the Oregon
ian is as much the object of criticism,
and justly so, as any public official.
More so, because it involves in its char
acter and standing the political morals
of the public administration which it
serves or pretends to serve. It is public
property. Its readers depend upon it
for news and for opinions of transpiring
public events, a great many in conse
quence forming their own opinions from
its deductions. Now with this responsi
bility, surely it should deal fairly with
its patrons, even though the editor's
personal aud political prejudices will not
permit him to be always lust. And now
Mr. Editor I come to the point.
We, who believe that the free and un
limited coinage of silver with and at the
existing ratio of 16 to 1 together with
the abolition of all private banks of is
sue and the substitution of government
banks, have asserted, time and again,
that the demonitization of silver in 1873
was a great evil from which we had not
recovered in 1892, that the passage of
the Bland-Alhson law in 1878 in a
measure tended to remedy the evil by
coining and circulating two and one-half
millions a month, that in 1890 the pas
sage of the Sherman bullion purchasing
act, though very defective, put into cir
culation four and one-half millions
month, the "crime of '73" was in i
measure atoned for. Now I want to call
your readers' attention to the Oregonian
and its business in '92 and '93.
While on the river front, at the corner
of Stark and Front streets, the paper
made money "hand over fist; it turned
everything it touched into gold. It is
asserted that one business firm paid it
$40,000 alone for advertising, and its col
umns were loaded with highly paid mat
ter. So ambitious were its editor and
its business manager to be "the nonpa
reil" after the fashion of Banquo's mur
derer, that they determined to erect a
structure in the city of Portland which
not only would be the fineet in the city
but would i clipse everything north of
San Francisco and west of Omaha; a
newspaper center which should attract
politically and hold in place financially
the lesser planetary newspaper bodies in
Seattle, Tacoma, Spokane, Walla Wal
la, Roseburg, etc. They (the Oregon
ian people) consulted together perhaps
in the First National Bank parlors) and
determined to build on a magnificent
scale, without however altogether
counting the cofL The building went
up a truly fine one and a credit to any
city. It was about completed and re:dy
for occupancy when the Sherman law
passed congress in extra session. That
at financially bankrupted the owners i f
the Oregonian. From wealth and Inde
pendence they, like millions of others,
were impoverished. In order to finish
the building, began on bo large a scale,
they were compelled to borrow from
$200,000 to $3"0,000. There were men
and money ready to loan on gilt edged
properties like the Oregonian building.
The management, much against King
Lear's advice, put their "pen to lend
ers' books," and the grand structure has
passed forever from the men who built
it into the possession of those who nev
er earned a dollar of the money invested.
In next week's Courier-Herald with
your permission and indulgence we will
inquire why and how, by what means
anl through what methods property to
the amount of a half million dollars can
pass from the possession of those who
earned it to the pockets of those who
did not do an hour's work for it, and
still have it in their power to draw in
terest, profits and rent. If, as our pes
simistic friend, Hamlet, fays "There
are more things in heaven and earth,
Horatio, than is dreampt of in your
philosophy'', hen, I submit, there are
more ways and means of getting p is ses
sion of people's property by those who
have given nothing in return than the
American people have any idea of.

Land is the real basis of all wealth.
We think that all intelligent men will
admit this without further argument.
The foregoine arguments were adduced
to prove that wealth is the basis ot an
money, that there is no s ich a thing as
basic money and that all money is rep
resentative. The dinerence Detween a r-
gus and myself is, he believes in basic
money and I do not. I say it is contrary
to all reason and common sense to try to
make a money basis of money. The idea
of anything's being its own base is su
premely ridiculous. As well argue tnat
a man is his own base and can walk just
as well in the air as on the earth. Base
is always, clearly and distinctly, that
on which a thing rests and not the thing
itself. Then money to have a safe basis
must have something other than itself
on which to rest. Argus seems to think
that gold and silver are the basis of all
money by natural or inherent right. I
emphatically deny this and affirm that
they are made money by law and gov
ernment Btamp, that in their native or
bullion Btate they are nothing more than
other commodities, and take away their
uses as money, jewelry, etc., they will
become utterly worthless, and further
that one hundred cents are just one
hundred cents no more and no less. I
know men talk about fifty cent dollars
and two hundred cent dollars. Such ev
erlasting idiotic nonsense! Some men,
even business men, will tell you that
dollar in silver is worth only fifty cents
and at the same time they will give you
a dollar's worth of goods for it as readily
as they will for a gold dollar, thus giving
their statement the he in the very trans
action. And if you ask them why they
do this they cau not answer to save
them. The truth is the silver dollar is
$1, no more and no less, and it is prac
tically impossible for it to be anything
else. What then is the matter with sil
ver money ? Does some one ask? Noth
ing is the matter with silver money, the
trouble is not with money at all. It is
with the law governing money. For in
stance, the law enacted by congress
making all debts and contracts payable
in lawful money of the United States,
except when otherwise stipulated in the
contract. Now as soon as this law was
ratified, the money lenders began con
trading in United States gold coin, and
I will venture to say you cannot find
any other kind of contract in the United
States to-day. If you give your note for
one hundred dollars in United States
gold coin there is no law in existence by
which you can compel the holder to take
silver or paper money in payment for it.
Here is wherein lies the fallacy of the
gold standard theory; it is estimated
that the world's national debts are about
ninetv three billions of dollars and the
world's gold, about thirty three billions.
Now the question is, how are we ever to
pay this enormoui debt with such a
small sum oi money? What an im
mense money basis this! One-third as
large as the world's debts! This re
minds me of a drunk man's trying to
walk a six-inch board, and the theory is
about as silly as the maudlin gibberings
of a drunk man. We think the most
sensible way would be to have those ex
ception clauses on both silver and paper
removed at once. The next step con
gress took in behalf of the people was to
close the mints to silver, causing it to
depreciate in value to its present, below
cost of production, price; and causing
stagnation in our silver mining industry
also. These two acts of congress put si!-
yer completely under the control of the
gold owner; for instance, he can draw
up gold contracts and refuse to take sil
ver in payment theretor; while on the
other hand he can control the price of
silver bullion just to suit his own avari
cious appetite. When congress passed
the act pi icing the exception clause on
greenbacks making them good for all
debts except duties on imports and in
terest on national debt, it gave the gold
owner the same power over national pa
per money that it has over silver. Now
let congress repeal those exceptions and
all money trouble will end immediately.
Men talk about government redemp
tion money. The idea of a government's
having to redeem Its money is as-absurd
and more ridiculous, if possible, than
the theory of basic money. Why should
any government be called on to redeem
its money other than to issue new as
fast as the old wears out, especially if
every dollar it has in circulation is back,
ed up by hundreds of dollars' worth of
wealth? Let this government issue its
money with the understanding that its
wealth is its money-basis and just Bee
how good our money will be in old
"Urp." But, "What about the gold
owner?" do you ask? Ohl Ah! Well,
yes. Let's see. He will stand the same
chance that the rest of us does, and we
do not thiuk that he ought to ask for
inre. But, what about the banker?
He will have to go into some other legit
imate business. Never mind about the
banker, he is able to care for himself.
j I repeat, let congress repeal those ex
ception clauses and open the mints to
iBilver the same as to gold at the pres
ent legal ratio of 16 to 1; then, if our
money volume is too small to carry on

Covernment Notes.
An easy and unexpensive way of pay
ing the indebtedness of the United
States is, if congress would issue legal
tender paper with which to buy up
farm products and manufactured goods
at fair prices under government control,
and authorize her agents to sell the pro
ducts in foreign markets for coin, then
the government could pay its debts
without taxing the people. Should our
wise men fear a surplus of money in cir
culation, the secretary of the treasury
could be authorized to destroy, gradual
ly, a certain part of the government
notes as they were received for taxes
By so doing the great debt would be
honestly paid, 6topping the interest
drain that is a heavy burden on the
various industries of the nation.
Let every one capable of solving
simple question in Arithmetic examine
the above proposition fairly and see
the suggestion is not worthy of serious
consideration. Who will object to the
above mode of liquidating the nation's
huge debt? The farmers and the manu
facturers -.urely would not object to sell
their productions to government agents,
especially as the procaeds would liqui
date the public debt. Is it possible that
any class of men would be so unpatriot
ic as to object to the above plausible
proposition? The producing classes
would rejoice to obtain Uncle Sam's
notes for. anything they had to sell.
Business would put on new life, because
every legitimate calling would prosper.
The above proposition cannot he
classed as chimerical, for it is plainly
possible, if our lawmakers will do their
duty. The above plan might possibly
interfere with some speculates scheme,
but it woul 1 benefit a large majority i f
our people. Then look at the'grand re
sult to be attained by liquidating a huje
na ional debt without burdeu'ng the
people with taxation, and actu illy greet
ly improving the condition of all pre
ducern of wealth, both enriching tl e
workers and paying a great debt ! If the
ruling power at Washington will not
consent to adopt the above project there
must be some special interest that
stands in the way, (the banks and the
bond holders may object). It is evident
that an overwhelming majority of the
people wonld be benefited by the plan.
All patriotic citizens, without regara
to party, would sanction any reasonable
effort to extinguish the national debt 1
should it require heavy taxation, but
the plan here suggested will not tax
property, but simply issuing legal paper
with which to buy up farm products and
manufactured goods that are to be sold
abroad for coin for liquidating the gov
ernment obligations.
C ingress made a great mistake in
gelling bonds for greenbacks and other
government notes aid then destroying
the money that bought the bonds. In
reilitythe government gained nothing
but lost everyihing by the transaction!
The g wernment not only lost the price
of the bonds, but has lost the annual
interest paid on them for more than a
quarter of a century. It would seem
that congress, having made the abov?
great mistake in bonding the nation for
money an 1 then burning it up, cught to
be willing to rectify tint mistake by ac
cepting any honorab'e means foritscon-
sutnation. If congress did not like tie
legal tender paper money, and wished to
take it out of circulation, why bond the
nation to absorb them and make a great
debt, when by authorizing the secretary
of the treasury to gradually destroy
them as they came into the treasury.
To make it plain to everybody let us
repeat the fact respecting the legal ten
der greenbacks and other government
notes that congress issued to conquer the
slaveholder's rebellion : The history of
the war informs us that the vast expense
of the war was almost wholly borne by
the legal tender paper, and at the end of
the war the government was virtually
out of debt, and might have been clear
of debt if congress had refused to sell
bonds for its own notes, for which act
there was no necessity. Congress crea
ted the paper money and could have de
stroyed it without bonding the nation !
We are informed that the money-power-bankers
from several of the large cit
ies met in Washington to prevent con
gress from issuing full legal tender paper
as was then being discussed, and from
the urgent demand of the bank repre
sentatives congress was swayed to adopt
the bankers proposal to place on the
government notes the word except cn
purpose to depreciate them in the inter
est of the gold speculators.
It is evident if the exception clause
had not been placed on the notes they
would have been par with gold. For proof
that they would not have depreciated,
we quote the history of the demand notes
of $00,000,000 that congress issued at the
beginning of the war that were par with
gold all through that trying period.
When coin went up to $2.85 the demand
notes went up along with it. - One dol
lar in demand notes would buy $2.85 in
greenbacks. Why? Because they would
pay duties on customs and do all that
gold would do.
There seems to have been many
scheming rascals of great influence in
those trying days who took advantge-of
real patriots like Abraham Lincoln, by
grafting many mischievous measures in
to good bills in order to enrich them
selves regardless of the ruinous ef
fect on their country. Two great wrongs,
the giving away to railroad corporations
many millious o acres of public lands,
and bonding the nation without just
cause, thereby robbing and enslaving
the present and future generations.
