J. Hammer Adolph Ascliotl THE STATE MIL T1A. The members of the several militia com panies who were in camp during the pat ten days have returned to their duiir. at home pleased in many rrject with their experience, yet much more tired than they , would have been if they had remained at J home. The duties of camp life are arduous and many of them anything but pleasant to civilian, yet they were usually done weU and with little disposition to grumble, although the dutiea imposed seemed at times unnecessary and unreasonable. The drills given at the ramp of ins'rui' tion were valuable as a discipline and should the national guard of this state be call"d upon at any time in the future lo protect and defend this commonwealth Ibe disci pline there obtained will prove of Kirat util ity. It is against the policy of the nation or states to maintain a lar?e standing army, yet it is not possible in this aye of the world I for any nation to maintain the re' ctof other great power without the ability to enforce its claims and right- by foire ol arms if need be, and in lieu of the great and expensive standing armies of the Old World we maintain the state militia which is cal culated to supply in time of !e"d a ie eive force reaily upon the ahonet notice to de fend tire life and property of i he state ami of the individual within the slate. This body is ineiensive compard lo 'he o-t of maintaining a standing army and bilc this it does not constitute a larye body for eign to the general opulation of (he sl.ne which Is out of sympathy w ith it and likely to prove a menace to popular institutions. The citizen soldier of thi state i" a standing guarantee against invasion. He is himself the heaviest contributor to the supiort of the militia and is besides sworn o go upon call to the defense of the stale, so that he who enlists takes his life in his hands and knows not when he may be called upon to go forth and be a target for the foe. The simple fact that the sia e militia i' not called upon to tight does not prove its nselessness, for, like many other thins, il" service is chiefly valuable for what it pre. vents simply on account of it existence rather than upon the actual service on the field of battle. ABOUT MONEY. The evening Telegram recently wrote lo the editors throughout tbestatea-king them to furnish for publication in that paier an expression of their views on the present financial situation and the best course for legislation at this time. In response to that letter the Entkkpkise sent the following: As a medium ol exchange or measure of value, money should be stable and subject to the least possible fluctuation, and so fur as possible, in this age when all nations have more or less intercoarse, it should jiossess a recognized value and command the confi dence of all countries between which com mercial relations exist, and especially of such as are our creditors. In addition to these requisites, the supply should lie ade quate to transact without unneee-tary delay the business of the country. Gold has long been recognized by the civ ilized nations as a standard, for, be-ides be ing stable, it possesses an intrinsic or com mercial worth extraneous to itc coined or monetary value, and with a supply com mensurate with the demands of commerce no better material could be found to use as money; but, unfortunately, scarcity pre cludes its adoption to the exclusion of all other forms of currency, and it therefore becomes necessary to utilize other forms, and silver is well adapted to supply this need, but its use should he so adjusted to the demands of business and coulidenee that it will not retard the former nor im pair the latter. Its use in considerable quantities should be possible under such laws as will cause it lo increase the circulat ing medium without impairing our credit either at home or abroad. The Sherman law has piled up vast quantities of bullion in the treasury without increasing the cir culating medium to any appreciable extent, and has, at the same time, operated as one of the factors to deplete the treasury of gold, and cause uncertainty and distrust of the future. Free and unrestricted coinage ol silver with the attendant laws i.ecessary to luuiiituin the parity of the metals upon a j I! the American home market for wheat was 10 per cent, larger the prliof Ameri can wheat would not be fixed at Liverpool. The San Francisco Call sayt: " The wheat grower would net have, to compete sjain-t wheat produced with the cheap labor of India and Russia. His proctict would com mand price in accord with the American standard ol wavs. But so long as we ex port wheat, the pike we get for it will, with small fluctuations, deteiniine the price at home. A protective i-uliiy and a tariff for revenue policy contract sharply in this rr ScU Trotrctive duties on foieigu manu facture? enable home manufacturers to supply the niai ket with a larger portion of finished goods than would be possible under the low duties that would he imiord by a at arid" (orieveuue. The men and women who make these linlslml goods live, in one case, in our own country, and intlieoiher abroad. American fonneis nay ui.e wheat for both the home and the Ibrojn woikei-. but w here we send wheat lo a foreign mar ket we have lo accept the foieijn pn e. lint if there were consumers for all Mie wheat we produce, the price would be lixed in this country. It would a-1 umo it- prop er relation to the piiie of other lom nioditie". Tariff1 for revenue men lold the people la.t year '. hat if we did not Uuv omls of Europe we could not sell our rain in Europe. They made a ji-eot many wheal groweis Lelieve that if we should reduce our duties and louscuently iHiiuilihe im portation ol a laige amount ol lnirr;n gixxls we should have a laiger foreign demand and a lusher pi ire lor our grain. Uul we now perceive that the piiir of gain in Euiope i tii.-d, not by Ihe amount we send ihere, but by ihe cort of rtii-'in when! In countries where waes aie 10 ieui per day. The amount ol' wheat that can be grow n is practicably unlimited. The only limit is lo ihe amount that uin be raised at a cer tain pi ice. It uppears that a enou h can be rai-ed ami placed in l.iveroo! si a lit l le over a cent a und lo give our whe.it growers ihe rboii e between selling at that price and not rlliiizat all.

Is spite of the stringency In Ihe money market and Ihe uncertainty whiih exists concerning Ihe fiuure il is not without lis bright side, ninre the soil ami climate of the Willamette Valley have again redeemed their promise and returned a bountiful har vest to the tiller of ibe soil who, now that he is gathering his crop, linds that in most cae it is one calculated to make the owner glad. The yield of full wheat and the qual ity are in most cases better than la-tyear, and while oats will not turn out as well the many acres of hop which now ive promise of a good crop will bring many thousands of dollars into Ihe hands of the growers. These good crops will help to make times eaier and money more abundant, and they are one of nature's promises to the favored settlers or this locality that they will be cared for, and that while an occasional hank may fall, yet, that whee they are conducted on u conservative and safe basis, as they are In this city, all will ultimately be well. The faclorie and mills which uru located here, in conjunction with the jmoiI crop", are a promise of a prosperous future strongerthan any that congress or government (an ofter. A1WUT SAT I OXAL HA.YKS. The Son Francisco lUillelin says: There seems lo be a surprising amount of hostility against Ibe nalionnl hanks, especially among the new doctilnttiica in tluance, A genera lion has pas-ed since the era of wild-rut Kinking, during which everybody who lould all'ord the expense of a plnle-ghiss window and some cheap gold lettering l. sued Kink bills. So long as he was able to work them Into cnvultitlon lbi ready banker i;t along swimmingly. Hut when a heavy demand set In for rush he w usu ally obliged to put up his shutters on the double quick. The worthless money so is sue.! had to be accepted by the people, for I hole was no oilier. Tin) bills of one slate usually did not circulate freely in any other stale. Often towns in the same state dis credit each other currency. Generally with the exception of New York and l'oston a most deplorable condi tion of attain in the financial sense In those days prevailed. Nobody knew the moment that the bunk notes in his possession would become worthless rugs. The national bank ing system auHrseded this method of bank ing. It was mostly based on the New York law then In force which allowed circulation on bonds deposited w ith the Controller of Stale. Since then all lliat part of the coun try that Is wedded lo par money lias had a staple currency. There is no discount In one stale on the nob's of another. There is no po sibility of Us to the note holder, for whoa bum lit Ihe bonds In the hands .,r ilia I r.illnr nlw:iv kll ffb'iilllt tit ftiVMr i the whole issue, are sold in the rase of fail ure. lint, two features of the system are open to criticism. They have been seised upon by popular atftutors and turned by them to !olilu ul account. One of them is the double interest which the national banks receive that is to say, Interest paid by the govern ment on the bonds dco"ited against circu lation, and interest from the individual who I lKirrowslli.il ciiculnilon. This was a grrnt and undeniable advantage so long as the bonds depo-itrd carried no premium. No individual could make this double interest, no matter how many bonds he held. But if lie called him-elf a hunker it was all right. This fael more than anything el-e served to rouse popular jealousy against thce bunks, es,ecially on the pint of their debtors. Cer tainly Ihe English method is fur more Just and lea-ouahle. Banking is a privilege, and the English government makes the bank pay for il. The English Kinds or consols debited w ith Ihe Hank of England draw no interest. It was urjrd frequently that the same rule should he set up in Ibis coun try, but the selfishness of the banks pre vented any action from being taken, llonds dcKsited against circulation should, while so held, cease to be interel-teariiig. The. second unpopular feature, long known to the public, is the iiiMitllricnt security i awarded to depo-ltors. The national banks aie only liable lo Iheir deo-iiors in the case ol failure to double Ihe amount of the ca- Ijtal stock. The cnpilid sin. k of ninny of the-e hunks does not ex red finn.OOl, while , I the list of deceits ollen runs up into the millions. Hut in rae of dUuMer only $.il, 1 00 1 is rei.ov erahle by 'he depo-itors This I rule has operated as a sort of premium for the reduction of capital stock to ihe lowest I possible li:;iiif consistent with luw. If the-e two defects were reniedrd there is no ! reason to supiio e that ihe national blinking system could not lie restored lo it old isi- t lion of usefulness The weukne-sol protec- j lion lo deposi'oishu-operulel in some cases very disu-troiisly. There has been in no i Ci e trouble lo the note-holdem, and there I I could not lie for the rea-ons above set forth. ' So valuable an agency in the regulation of j the liuunies of the country us the national banking system cannot Ire allowed lo lull into decay, eseciully as it is evident enough that there is nothing to luke its place but the old wild .it method, of which the present generation ha no knowledge, but which, if allowed once more to gain headway, will ravage the country by and by to a frightful extent. r'or .Vile or Knt.
