Many correspondents ask for the figures bowing the annual production of silver dur ing tbe period culminating in its restricted coinage or total rejection at the mints of all the first-class nations of tbe world. The Chicago Times-Herald gives the total production ol silver during the first half of the century as authentically estimated at 1,052.211,000 ounces or an average annual output of 21,044,220 ounces. For the second half of the century to the present year the figures are as follows. The ratio to gold is also given for convenient reference: Real ratio Silver, of silver Year. ounces. to gold. 1851 31.100,0n0 1S32 31.30n,O) 1853 31,3nu,C"iO 1X54 31.3nO,X0 ' 1855 31.3U0.0OO 1850 31,400.000 1857 31,400,000 1858 31,400,000 1859 31,500.000 m 81,500,000 1801 32,800,000 12 34,!ai0,(i00 18u3 37,700,000 1804 SO.W.VQ 1W8. 39.800,(00 1800 42.200,000 1807 42,900,000 1808 43,700.000 1869 43,70u,0CO 1870 40,800.000 1871 5fj.t00.0o0 1872 61,100,000 1873 63,267,000 1874 55,300,000 1875 62,202,000 1870 67,753,010 1877 02,618,000 1878 73,476,000 1879 74,2.V).00O 180 74,791,00 1881 78,8!Xl,obo 18X2 86,470.000 18-0 89,177,000 1884 81,597,000 1885 01,052,000 1886 93,270,000 1887 96,124,000 1888 108,827,000 188!) 120,213,000 18IO 120,095,000 1891 137,171,000 1892 153,152,000 1893 106,092,000 1894 167,753,000 1895 (approximate). . .105,000,000 15.46 15.59 15.33 15.33 15.38 15.5s 15.27 15.38 15.19 15.29 15.50 13.35 15.37 15.37 15.44 15.43 155: 15.50 15.60 15.57 15 57 15.63 15.92 16.17 1659 17.88 1722 17.94 18.40 18.05 18.16 18.19 18.64 18.57 19.41 20.78 21.13 21.99 22.09 19.76 20.92 23.72 26.49 32 50 31.5G A recent number of the Toledo Ulade gives a striking object lesson of silver stricken Mexico. The Mexican Herald publishes its sub scription terms as follows: Delivered by carriers in city $12 By mail in country 10 United Stales 7 Central American Slates 12 Tbey send the paper to subscribers in the United Males and pay the postage for $7. WhyT llecause the money of the United States Is equivalent to gold . Mexico is doing business on silver basis, and they charge accordingly. Tin county court has again taken up the subject of buying a poor farm ami of placing all tbe county charges upon it. The court bases the need of a poor farm on the fact that it has cost the county for the 12 months ending July 1, lX;, the sum of $.!!). W to keep its poor. Of course this is a big sum of money snd if these county charges were paupers. In the strict sense of the word, it would be a saving to put them all on a farm here they could be cared for in a body at a less cost than if scattered about the county. But the court must remember that these unusual hard times are responsi ble for a large part of this pauper expense and with the return of good times, this ex pense will greatly decrease. Furthermore fully one-half ol this expenditure is for aid to persons who are not paupers but who have met with reverses and sickness, and with a little help soon become self-support lug again. There are many persons who are regular paupers, whose keeping is but a small charge on tbe county as they are taken by farmers and others, their labor nearly paying their keep. In fact there are but few persons on the list who draw to ex ceed I0 per month out of the county treas ury. As lo tbe cost of a county physician being decreased that is not so, for his ser vices are used more by temporarily desti tute families and persons than by the regu lar paupers. With the costly experience of other counties in tbe stale and our present high taxes and empty treasury, the poor farm project should be laid over for another year at least. aggreasire campaign. This county has a mitjorliv of republicans, who will all vote for Mi Klnlcy If an enlliiisiastlo plan of campaign Is adopted and carried out. Till boasta of the Three Sisters' publish, era as lo Ihcir big circulation in the county, hits proved as false aa their oilier ilnle- nu'iits. Not a day passes but what liupilrlea are received at the county olllces Ironi per sons in various parts of Clm'kainns county as to what paper the delinquent lax list is published in and where a copy can be had Willi the first edition couiainiug the lax list a great many sample copiea of the Three Sisters were sent out, but since that week the extra copies sent out, over and above thrlr regular list of ISO subscribers, has been so small aa not to seriously bunion the mails. Geo. T. Howard, UKAI.KIl IN It is an outrage on the tai-payera of Cla"kamas county that two abend 's olllces should be maintained in the court house Asa mailer of fact it is only by a stretch of the law that Fx-Sheriff Maddock can relalii possession of the tax rolls and draw a salary for his duty when the regular aherift and his deputy are practically In their cltloe. Maddock had belter make bay while the sun shines (orit lll be the last time that he will ever hold an otllce, be it ever so inferior, in Clackamas county, for the tax payers will annihilate bim should he ever show himself in politics again. Santos ti, page 118 ol the revised statutes of l.K, of Oregon, says that the sherill shall turn over once each week to the county treasurer, all moneys coming Into his hands belonging to the county. The records of the treasurer's office show that Sheriff Mad dock, while collecting taxes this summer, bas turned over the county funds just aa It suited his pleasure, regardlese of the law, sometimes once in two weeks, but oftener at longer periods than that. When It comes to openly violating the laws of the stale, Sherill Maddock, as a public otllcer, bas not his equal in the slate of Oregon In view of the many uglv reports that are out regarding Ex-Sherill' Maddock, there lias come a general demand that his books be eerted. His accounts mav be all straight, but so many county ofllcers of late having been found derelect in their duties, Marion havii g just called an olllcer to an accounting alter his report bad been made, with the result ol a big shortage being found by the experts, that it might be well for the county court ol this county to have Mad dock's books looked over ..ecoqd land Ljoodg lliglicat prii ti piild (or Furni ture, Stoves, ido., 'tc.

As a result of the exposure in the Entkr I'Biex of lait week methods employed by Maddock and his lieutenants, Lawrence and Bam, in padding out the deliniiient tax list, Maddock hasbecoi.ie fearful lest in their greed to make a big stake as well as lo have a goodly sum left after giving him his half, that the Three Sisters' publishers had rather overstepped tbe bounds of safety and tbat the county commissioners might be given an excuse for cutting his bill for pub lishing the list and thus give him a black eye. He has bad his deputy, Moody, en gaged all the week In figuring out the print er's charges on the various descriptions aa tbey would be if set honestly. As Lawrence & Bain will demand that the contract be carried out and that they be paid as the list measures in their paier, there is a good prospect of a row between them and Mad dock. It would not be amiss in Maddock, if he thought be could save himself from political death, to turn about and swindle his accomplices in the tax list robbery. As an evidence of Mi Kinley popularity among the American people, the telegrams state that callers continue to pour in upon him to such an extent, that great inroads are made iiKn bis time. They flock in upon him in droves to such an extent, that it is almost in possible for bim to Hud any time to give to the lormal letter of accept ance.

There can be no doubt but that McKinler will receive a handsome nmjority in Oregon at the coming presidential election. Hun dreds and thousands of republicans who voted for populist candidates for congress at the June election on account of local issues, will vole straight for McKinley and Hobart on the first Monday in November. These men love their country and earnestly believ-in a government tbat will protect the masses and the laboring people of the nation. They are earnest advocates of a sound financial and protection policy, and will vote as tbey believe, and they will urge their neighbors to vote for a policy tbat will tend to revive the wool industry, and foster and protect the varied manufacturing industries of the web-foot state. For months and months the voters of Oregon have been stuffed with wild cat lit erature, and listened to the harangues of windy orators, until some ol them are upset in their Ideas. But they arecoming to their sober senses, and are beginning to realize The Hood River Glacier makes the state ment that $30,000 in cash bas been paid to strawberry growers in that valley this sea son. In lact it has been proved to be the most profitable crop that tbey can produce, and the acreage will be increased in future years lo an appreciable extent. One reason why strawberry growing proves to he prolit able in tbat section, is that the raising of the fruit is done in a scientific way, and the work is done systematically, while they take special pains in marketing tbeir ber ries in a presentable condition. They make strawberry growing a specialty, and people who order Hood river strawberries know ex actly what they are getting. The example set by Hood river fruit growers could be fo.lowed with profit by horticulturists in other sections of the stale. There Is money in fruit growing, bill it must be conducted on business principles. The United States authorities are begin ning to take an active interest in the Wil hoit stage rebberies, and this action com bined with tbe reward offered by Clackamas county and others, may lend to bring the perpetrators ol the becoming frequent hold ups to justick. These highwaymen are be coming a menace to the travelers, who have occasion to go in the direction of Wilhoit Springs, as no note of warning informs them what minute the deadly bullet from a highwayman-assasin may end their earthly career. This stage hold-up business is be coming a serious all'air, and as the high waymen are pretty free with their guns, and do not hesitate to disturb the U. 8. mails, a united, determined effort should be made to run them down' The Alabama election went just the way it was expected to go but it course carries no weight of iiilluence upon the general election. Albany Herald. The general business depression that is sweeping over the west, is one of the results of the free silver craze. It is only a test of what would Imppen should Bryan be elected. The way to revive business is to restore confidence, and the way to restore continence is lo see that Oregon's electoral vote is cast for McKinley. Portland Chronicle. With between six and seven million pounds of wool lying unsold in The Dalles warehouse and no immediate prospect of any sale, there is no danger of the democra' tic ticket carrying Wasco county next Nov ember. But McKinley' majority should be made as large as possible, so it will bring up the ticket in other places not so favored -The Dalles Chronicle. there Is some signilicance when men women and children by the thousands leave the factories and go to visit Major McKinley at his home. This is the year when the laboring men are going to vole and they are not going to support free trade candidates The trap of democracy built of free trade planks will not cutch all the populists. There are more in the rank and file of that partv who will refuse to vote for the continued ruin of the wool industry of this country. Baker City Republican. H. W. JACKSON, -BIS AND -n lepw. Multnomah county is taking the Iniative in making preparations for the opening ol an aggressive campaign for McKinley dur ing the coming presidential election. They are taking the necessary stepB to organize every precinct in Multnomah county in the interest of McKinley. Business men gen erally, irrespective of party, favor McKinley and sound money. Clackamas county should emulate the example set by Multno mah and begin to organize at once for an 1 Letter List.
