The government maintains the parity of the two metals by paying all debts in gold. This it may con tinue to do so long as its stock of gold Is not exhausted. But, In the uiean time, un derthe existing Sherman law the secretary of the treasury is compelled to buy silver at market rates each month in a stated quantity, paying therefor in (old coin.

Hammer Adolph Aschotl GOVE&YMEXT'S SILVER Since the attention of every one is just now diverted to the white metal the follow ing facts taken from the report of the late treasurer when turning over the office to Treasurer Morgan will prove interesting reading: " There are 5,6x0 tons of silver stored in the national treasury vaults. That means 10,000,OCO pounds. And yet his metal is regarded as a precious one, to be measured in value by ounces and grains. Only coin is kept in the treasury vaults. Bars and bullion are stored in the sub-treasuries and the mints. There are eight raults in the treasury used for the safe-keeping and stor age or money. The total value of the con tents or these vaults is fv'B.176,000. Only two of these faults are used for the torepe ol standard silver dollars. Vault Ho. 1 contains J101.000.OHO, w hile the smaller vault, known as vault Ko. 2, has in it only bout 50,ao.ftO. In addition to this there is53,000 worth of fractional silver. The other vaults are used for holdingbanknotes, bonds, money for daily use, etc The total coinage of silver dollars nnder the Bland act ol !" was $.T$9TfCji, M7. The total coinage under Ihe act of July 14, 10 known as the Sherman act, has amounted to $29.455,K. There are 58,917,CO0 silver dollars in circulation. More than half of all the silver owned bv . the United States is stored in Washington At the minis and assay c Hi res tbere are 1120,231,000 worth of bar silver. Altogether there is f331,C00,0M) in standard silver dol lars. Te United States has been buying silver ever since 1878, when the Bland Inw went lnioenect. Lnlil the Sherman law went into operation the treasury purchased un der the first law tTOS.lH9.361.71 ounces or sil ver, for whicb it paid .T23,635,576.19-an av erage cost of $1.05 per ounce. On this silver the government made profit of a great many million dollars by calling every 375 grains of fine silver a dollar, no matter what the market value of silver might be when paid for in gold. On the silver purchase act nnder the 8her juan law the government has lost already bout $40,000,000 by the depreciation In valne of its stock of bullion on hand. Up to the tint or July about 157,000,000 ounces had been purchased. Four million five hundred thousand dollars in silver amount to about 140 tons, and if the country still goes on buying at that rate the problem of what to do with the metal promises to be come an even more serious one than it is now. - ABOUT THE HOALS. The last issue of The student, published at Portland, in speaking or Oregon City calls attention to its great resources in the following commendatory words: The Stu dent, with this Issue, presents to Its readers Willamette Falls, the greatest constant and entirely reliable water power in the United States; situated at tide-water and at the gateway of the prosperous city of Portland, In its present state it has double the whole poweremployed in the great manufacturing City of Philadelphia, and furnishes more mechanical ower than Is used for manu facturing purposes in the stale of Illinois. These falls never freexe, and the (low of wa ter is amide, free and continuous every day In the vear. Both sntes of the river below the falls are solid rock formation, suitable hi every respect lor the erection of struc tures of the most substantial kind. Secretabt of Agriculture Morton, In speaking before the farmers' congrsss at Chicago last week, said in reference to the financial situation: Many of the fallacies which have been evolved for the allurement of the larmerare very catching. The teach ing of many of the journeymen burners has been to the etlect that the money of the country is simply legal fiction. That which our country needs first and foremost is an honest, unfluctuating measure of values. If gold is the best money In the world, then the United Stales wants gold. We must have a permanent standard of debt settle ment, a ermauent and unfluctuating meas ure of values and medium of exchange." Tits history of booms and boom towns Is very much the same the world over. For Instance, three years ago Anacorles liml a population of S0U0, with twenlv-llve miles of graded streets, twelve tulles of motor railway, tifly-tour saloons, a doen hotels, and many buildings costing f.'to.eui or more each. The school building cost J.v.'.mfl, l, day the population of this once nourishing city Is less than 800 souls and t-ta month would be considered big rent for most anv of Ihe lurge hotels. But Anncortea was a " boom town" and these results are not as tonishing. In the light of history like thi places with numerous natural resources, Bitch as are behind Ihe steady growth ol Oregon City, continue lo prosier and olfer to the home seeker and safe Investor oppor tunities which in Ihe end prove much more remunerative than money placed In allur ing boom cities. It is the same old slory of the hare and the tortoise, and Ihe latter wins. Tui Pallas Transcript says that the lack of systematic road work la already seen throughout different sections of Polk coun ty, and the r-alem Matesman adds, " not only seen but also felt," But two counties in the state have made systematic effort to have the Mads Improved, these being Clack am as and Multnomah, and while Ihe plan has only been In practice in this county for one season, and has not had a fair show in that lime, there Is no doubt but what sys tematic work w ill tell in the long run If it I upon (he right plan and properly adminis tered. An eminent English banker says of the situation in the United Stales: The falling otf is doubtless largely due to the general contraction of trade, but the situation is necessarily aggravated by the position of sil ver, as was shown by the improvement in the outlook immediately alter repeal was expected and the subsequent relapse. It is not in the natureof things that any govern ment, finding its revenues, lessening from general causes, would view calmly the ex istence of a statutory arrangement requir ing the government to purchase periodicslly silver which the country dues not want and w hich only increases the greatly depreciated stock in the vaults. Thi Nehalem Journal remarks that there has been a wonderful change in the manner of distributing justice since Thomas A. Mo ll rule was elected judge of the circuit court of this district. One can now Irulv say the laws have not been made for the psolection of criminals and for the benefit of a few fa vorites of Ihe court. Two years ago the democratic mayor ol Indianapolis bad 2,722 majority. This year he was defeated for re-election by his re publican competitor by 3.078 majority. This is a difference or 5,Ntij votes. The republi cans also captured the city government in all its branches by s niilnrly large majori ties. Tn St. Louis Olole-Iemocrat rises to remark that "if this be a government or the silver trust, by the silver trust and for the silver trust, let this fact be made known at once." It occurs to us that the senate has already demonstrated that proosilion In favor of the silverites. i 1 W I ROOT a an HR ASCII, the poison In your blood, taowerw It may have come or whatever shape It mny be taking, la cleared away by lr, Fiiiroe't Ooldvu Medical Dle covnry.

The recent election in Ihe city of Indian apolis would indicate that there is a flock ing of voters toward the republican camp, since the mayor, clerk, police judge and six councilmen at large were elected by ma jorities approximating 3000, reversing democratic plurality or 2722 two years ago. Republicans will have at least two-thirds of the new council, and the mayor having the appointment of all the boards, the effect Is to place all the departments of th city In the bands or the republicans. The mem bers of these boards all resigned Immedi ately after the election. Needy - Nursery, J. D. NOE. Prop., NKEDY, - - OHICCJON. One or tbefspeakers at the World's Good Boad Congress said: A great index or a nation's progress is Its roads. While our country leads the world In railroads, and while ourColumbian exposition proves the new world clearly in advance or all nations in civilization, in commercial and agricultural progress, in the one Important interest of roads we are behind European countries. When we be gan this Good Roads congress work last year, there was but little road organization, now we have several stale road organiza tions and national leagues for good roads, and numerous local road associations. Another eminent speaker said : Aside from questions of material gain, it is to be borne in mind that good roads are the great highways for the advancement of social lire, education and Christianity. The visits or friends, the attendance of children at school, and the gathering together at church, are all governed to a greater or less extent by the condition or the roads; and the abandonment of farms, and the crowd ing together or people in the cities, is due largely to the isolation caused by bad means or communication to and from the farm. . But the problem to be solved it to pro vide money to build good roads. Many farmers are opposed to the good road move ment, because they believe it means to them increased taxation, and in some sec tions of the country agricultural interests re so depressed that tbey do not feel able to bear greater financial burdens. It has been estimated that the state of Illinois loes $100,000,000 every year because of bad lowdfc...,,.. ,.. A plan suggested to sccar good roads is for each state to establish a graduated sue Tax possibilities of the future are Illimit able. Now they are talking or using the trolley at sea, and enthusiasts predict that submarine ships may go whizzing across the Atlantic In two days. Perhaps the no tion is not so visionary as it seems at first glance. One thing about it Is certain the trolley would be a great deal safer at the bottom of tie ocean than In crowded city streets. Around the world in ten days would thus be an ordinary occurrence. Thi reports or recurring wrecks which have been flashing over the wires from the East during the past month suggest the pos sibility that the several railroads centering in Chicago have been working their em ployees over hours and that overtired na ture has at last yielded to the strain and these accidents with their deaths and wounds as their harvest have been the result. A oood plan for the seriate to apply the physical endurance test and solve the silver mnddle would be lo strip off coats and vests and then sail in. After one set has done up the other fellows the sergeants-at-arms can probably clear the senate chamber of the rest and the peoile can select a new set of senators who will do something. BsnroKD. Ky., Oct 17, HO. Editor hSTXHi-iiist: From the turf or "Blue Grass," whiskey and tobacco, your old corresfiondcnt thinks ptrlmps some of your many readers might be interested in a few items from this locality. Alter spending twelve days at the fair and three in Chicago, October fitb found us in Louisville, where we visited a cousin, who makes a specialty of the oral cavity. From the way it rained last Friday, no webfoot shower would of had a ghost of a showing. Hi nee, the calm heavy frosts rule the nigbt, followed with delightful days. Much of the tobacco is yet uncut and out on the "sticks," but the whiskey Is secured. Much of this state and Indiana Is at least twenty-flv years behind our Pad lie coast in energy and push. Of course at every country store people congregate to discuss the administration and while democracy largely prevails it Is as largely dissutistied. On one occasion a Btirbon remarked that he had been praying for rorty years fur a democratic administration and now be was in the mlilsl of one, and hopped to God such an event would never occur again. All consented by their silence. Many over here are not certain whether Oregon is In Alaska or Florida, yet they are alive to the fact that good roads are essen tial for transportation, and having the stone at hand they apply it to the road question. The county pays half the cost, or $00 per mile, provided the turn pike costs 11000 per mile. Balance is paid by subscriptions. A toll or 40 cents is charged for team and wagon for ten mile haul, to keep the pike in good repair. For negligence In this mat ter the company In charge is Indicted and fined. Common laborers here are glad to work for $15 per month and board, while harvest hands get $1.25 per day. The peach orchards here are numbered by the thousands of acres and an effort is being made to double the acreage. What would Oregon produce if she would glye an equal attention to prunes. Next week I expect to visit the northern part or Missouri returning home about the middle or November. Yours Respentlully, J. W. Thomas. A fine lot of all kindx of FRUIT-:-TREES Ready for Fall Trade.
