HAT MONET CONDITIONS.
The very possible chance that Bryan
might be elected president of the United
8tates, is paralysing the business interests
nd shoul.l he be elected, God only knows
what will become of the country. A few
weeks ago the Oregon City school district
advertised $6,000 worth of six-per cent 10
20 year bondn. A Chicago house that made
the best bid withdrew Its offer before the
transaction was completed. Then the board
tried Barrall A Co. of Spokane, who had
put in a bid for par for the bonds, but
under dale of Sept. 1st, Clerk Ryan received
reply staling that they could not now use
the bonds for a better price than J0 cents 011
the dollar. In the letter the writer says:
"This is the poorest possible time to attempt
to market the bonds, and it would be much
better fo- you to not attempt to do so until
after election. If Bryan is elected, I do not
bonesily believe you can sell tneiu at all.
If McKinley is elected, we would like to
have them at our former bid. I am not
trying to discuss politics, but the fact is
that in the uncertainty of what Bryan's
election means, we and all other houses are
unwilling to take any additional liabilities,
because we know that there will be sale for
no bonds at any prices, nor will there be
any market for bonds pending the result
being known "
The very possibility of Bryan's election is
almost tending to bankrupt the business
interests of tbe United States. His election
means hard times, poverty, distress and
anarchy. All voters who believe in discharg
ing their ob'igations honestly, and who
have a patriotic love lor their country and
its institutions are earnestly ured to rally
to the anpport of William McKinley, and
lave these United States from a doom worse
than that of Mexico or tbe Spanish Ameri
can republicans. If you believe in law and
order, love your homes, and believe in the
perpetuation of American liberties, you will
cast your votes for McKinley and Hobarl,
and get your neighbor to do likewise.
Oxioflhe most urgent motives of the
silver party it that they want cheap money.
By that we suppose they mean money they
can borrow cheaply or earn cheaply. . Now,
the cheaiet iiioury in the world ia in the
strongest gold country England, Tlieilcur
est money in the world Is in the silver coun
tries. For example, money in (.outlay to-
May it 2 per cent per annum, while money
I in Mexico, China, Spam, India and other
silver countries commands a loaning value
! of from IJ per cent upward. In llm other
1 sold conn tries of Europe, while money It
not so low as In England, the rijte variea
from 3 to 5 per cent to the borrower. We
may cite as a good example of the two
currencies two states adjoining one another
in South America one British (iulani, a
gold country, with money at 4 to tl per cent
per annum, the other Venetuela, with like
soil and climatic conditions, a silver ciuin.
try, where interest rules at 10 lo 12 per cent
per annum.
BkYAM it a far more pronounced free
trader than Cleveland, and in hit t)eechei
in previous campaigut anil in congress, has
advocated almost absolute free trade He
would give our markets over to foreigners
and to meet t he ex penscs of the govern menf
he would extend the Internal revenue duties
to embrace all commodities ami articles as
was done during the late war. But Hrvan
will find that hit free trade proclivities can
not be obscured by the noite for free silver
that be it now making, and that the Amer
ican people are ttronger now in their belief
in the theory of protection than at any
time since the formation of the government
and they will prove it to him at the Novem
ber election, when he will be given to crush
ing a defeat that he will be compelled to
abandon bis free trade, free silver and other
"free" heresies, and try tome new scheme
to gull the people.
It Is a noticeable fact that the farmers
who do most of their farming in town are
pretty generally for free silver It is also a
fact that sound ideas on farming generally
go with sound ideas on financial questions.
The farmer, whose plo is carefully housed
when not in use, whose gate is on its hinges
and his dwelling and farm buildings in good
repair, can be put down as a man loo wen
posted to be fooled on the free trade or free
silver issues.
It bas been given out that the county
court which is in session this week will not
audit Lawrence A Bain's bill with Sheriff
Haddock for publishing Ibe delinquent tax
list, hut that it will be laid over until the
October term, pending the decision of Judge
McBride.
The farmer should keep the fact upper
most in his mind that tbe prices of bit pro
ducts are regulated by the law of supply and
demand, and no sort of tinkering with the
currency can possibly make it otherw ise.
PRODUCTION OF SILVER INfREASISG.
If the election of Bryan will be a great
blessing to the bushiest interests of the
country, why does the anticipation of that
rrsnlt not have a henchVlal result T If
Bryan's election will enhance the value of
silver, why does silver not have an upward
tendency now T Sliver, a lew days ago, fell
.1 per cent., and all kinds of business is now
paralysed by the leeling that Bryan's elec
tion is among the possihllities.- l'he Pullet
Chronicle.
There are today In Oregon but two parties,
t tie republican and the populist. A week
ago Tuesday the democratic parly olllclally
went out of existence, the Bryan-Sc wall ban
ner wat pulled down and one inscribed
"Bryan and Watson" hoisted in ita stead.
This leaves the democrats free to choose
whom lliey will support, and bound by mi
party ties, t'nder these circumstances the
populist platform becomes the only rule of
faith and conduct for Bryan men, The
tiger and the lamb have lain down together,
but, wonderful to relate, the tiger Is Inside
of the lamb. Forest Grove Hatchet.

One of tbe principal reasons that the F-.t-TEBf
uisE had for opposing the leasing of the
Clackamas river to the Clarkson-Mclrvin
Boom Company, was that the company
could not show tbat they were financially
able to make the improvements they pro
posed in the channel of the river. It now
appears thai the company bas so little fi
nancial standing as to be unable to give tbe
small bond required by tbe county court
that they will fulfill their contract. At the
June term, at wbich their franchise was
granted, they asked for a month in which
to file their bond. The month went by and
no bond was given, and at at the July term,
an extension of a month was asked and
granted; and yet another extension was
asked and granted at the August term, and
here they now are at the September term
pleading for more time. After allowing thern
three full months in which to complete tbe
terms of their lease, Commissioners Jaguar
and Marks have decided that this company
have had all the leniencv Ihey are entitled
to and will end the matter by revoking their
lease. The company have put in some pil
ing since getting control of the river, but
have made no effort to make permanent
improvements to the channel, and trotn
indications it is not likely that they had the
remotest idea of spending the thousands of
dollars that their improvement would call
or, but on the contrary would hold the
river until a survival in tbe lumber business
would enable theni to sell out at a band
gome profit to some rich corporation.
Now that the Clackamas river is again
open to any logger who sees fit to use It,
it would be well for the county court to let it
remain so and net give it over to any com
pany to the disadvantage of the adjacent
settlers and loggers.
If further evidence were needed to show
that the fall in the value of silver was not
due to demonetization but to econonjic
causes, it is furnished in the fact that not
withstanding tbe decline in the market
price of silver, silver 'mining remains a
profitable industry. We know that this
will be denied, but facts speak louder than
words. Tbe test of the profitableness of an
industry is the tendency of capital to go
into it and continue producing. If the fall
in the price of silver from $ 1.32 an ounce in
1872 to O cents an ounce in 1!, did 1101
represent a great reduction in the cost of
producing silver, 80 per cent of the silver
mine owners would have been bankrupt
long ago, because a reduction of 47 per cent
In the price is more than the prolita of the
most opulent industry in the world can
stand. In that case capital that did not go
to bankruptcy would have deserted the sil
ver mine business, and the production
would rapidly have declined. Instead of
this being the case, however, tbe production
of silver hat steadily increased from 1873,
and is still increasing, both in this country
and the world. This is shown by the fact
that in 1873 the world's annual production
of silver was 13,21)7,000 ounces, from which
time it has steadily increased, until In 18!H
it wat 107,752,5(11 ounces, an increase of lUi
per cent. If we take the product of ths
United States, we find the increase has been
even more striking. In 1871 the out-put
was 27, 512.372 ounces, and in 18! 4 it was
100,000,000 ounces, an increase of '203 per
cent. Gunton't Magazine (N. Y.) for Sep

The people may well read over and over
again Major McKinley's sensible and patri
otic declaration about the wiping out of sec'
tional lines in our politics. ' The era of re
conciliation," he wrote in bis letter of accept-
ance, "has come, happily, and the feelingof
distrust and hostility between the sections
is every where vanishing, let us hope never
to return." ban rrancisco Bulletin.
Much is claimed for the Chicago ticketon
the ground of its "regularity." It will be a
surprise to many democrats with whom
this point has weight to learn that no Bryan
and Bewail electors will be voted for in Ohio,
Michigan and Oregon. The democratic
managers in these states have consented to
a fusion with the Bryan and Watson elec
tors, and the Bryan national committee is
making no objection to the arrangement.
The regular machine at Chicago seems to
have ground out nothing but irregularities,
including this repudiation of its own nomi
nee St. Louis Kepublic.
We think when the votes are counted
after the election they will pan out about
the same as the man's frogs. A countryman
wanted to sell a dealer seven car loads of
frogs, but was informed that they did not
buy such large quantities, hut they would
take ten dozen. So the man agreed to de
liver them soon. A few days later he walked
in and said he had the frngs, but had on ly
live instead of ten dozen. The dealer
wanted to know where the balance were.
The man explained that there was a pond J
near his bouse, and from the amount of
noise the frogs made, be thought there must
be at least seven car loads in the pond, but
when he investigated be found there were
only five dozen. The free silver men are
making lots of noise, but we think the pro
portion will be about the same as the frogs.
