THE OFFICIAL PAPER FOR OREGM
STATE GINTSAL C3MMITTEE.
A meeting of the Democratic State Con
lrl Commutes is heieby ealbd lo lo lieli
m tlis City f Portland. th 31st d.y o
January, iSTS. A 1 11 1 1 attendance is re

Salbt, January 3, 1878.
As we predicted last week Hon. Geo.
IT. Pendleton baa been elected United
States Senator from Ohio, to suciet d
Stanley Matthews. On tho third ballot
lie was declared tlie Democratic caucus
nominee, the vote standing" Pendleton
51, E wing 19, Morgan 16. After the
result was announced a general Demo
cratic love feast followed, in which
speeches were made by Pendleton, Ew-
ing, Morgan, Ward, Converse and oth
ers, all expressing tho utmost satisfac
tion with the result.
This is a merited reward to one of
Ohio's ablest and truest citizens, and
one of which tho Democracy of tlia na
tlou may well vejoies. With Pendleton
the colleague of Thurman in the Senate
the Buckeye State unquestionably has
tho ablest representation in that body
of any State in the Union.
Pendleton's election is also a signifi
cant concession to the Greenback ele
ment of the Democratic party, and
should be taken as sin earnest of good
faith in our party's professions on that
subject.
Three cheers and a tiger for Senator
Pendleton !
The Willamette at Spores' ferry, Lane
county, is to be spanned by a $9,0CC
bridge to be built by A. S. Miller &
Son. This will be the fourth bridgi
Lane county has had built in the past
two years. We think our own county
of Linn should be more entenvriain
and liberal in this matter of bridgt
building. Until the tarbid and treach
erous Suntii-jn rivet-3 which eo-v
through Linn county are proper!
bridged our great rcwurces cannct be
approximated. Span our streams with
good substantial bridges and grade and
improve our highways, and Linn coi;n
ty will immediately exhibit forward
strides that will astonish and delight
every citizen within its borders.

Some of our delinouent subscribers
have evidently taken up with Beecher'a-
blasphemous idea that there is no Hell
but we want them to understand that
they can't "play us" that way! They
may as well make up their mind that
there is a most ir.feraauy 2:ct p!a: o
torment for such as they, and that
nothing but- a paid Tip receipt from this
office can save them from its otherwise
inevitable consequences. And be as
sured that the place of punishment for
the delinquent subscriber is built on the
most improved modern plan, with all
the scientific appurtenances for the
nost excruciating torture. Yon fellows
better pay up !

Victor Emanuel, King of liaiy, died
last Saturday. He is universally
mourned -dy his subjects. lie is suc
ceeded on the throne by his sr.n, Hum
bert, who personally comes to the throne
under favorable circumstances. He has
outlived the ill fame won by some fol
lies of his youth. He has be-?-.y lately
well-behaved, methodical, of a wisely
saving disposition ; free from debt in
spite of incessant calls upon his re
sources. Like his lather he has shown
himself a good soldier, and professes
. sound liberal principles, besides which,
imUke his father, he above all things
alhors subjection to priests.

For the benefit of the gold fanattics

When he was first admitted to his
seat the Orejoitiai called him "Ham-b-.u-g-Buteher
Butler;" now he is said
to be a hard monc-yite, and that paper

is to favor tha Northern Pacific Bail

THE SUtES etETIOJT.
The Orejonian, wnh a style of petti
fogging which is unworthy of itself a?
re!l as an uisult to its readers, gives a-
reason for its opposition to th silvei
ill that Sharon and other owners of
.ho great silver mines will be largelj
lenetitted by the appreciation of theii
tullion. If this is to bo given as a rea
s a for its opposition, then that panci
mght to opposo tho purchase of out
Oregon wheat by buyers and specula
tin, because they are almost certain t
e financially benefitted by it. Thai
aper should also oppose tho construc
ion of the Northern Pacific Railroad.
r doe it not know that tho owners c
hat road expect to be greatly benefitted
snd vastly enriched by its successful
completion t
Tins argument that some half a dozei.
jreat miners would be benefitted by sii
er remoneiization is absolutely no ai
;ument at all. It is decidedly babyish
it cannot for a moment figure as a rea
son why silver should not be restored ti
ts proper standing, from which it wa
vrongfully degraded by trickery anc
fraud. Silver is now a legal tender foi
small debts, and must be taken by tht
joor people at its face value, althougl
lepreciated. The Oxonian, when cr
Iing in favor of the rich bondholder
becomes virtuously indignant and de
nounces it as an unpardonable sic
and au inexcusable outrage to wrong
ihese bloated bondholders out of 6 or f
,er cent, but in the eyes of that papej
it is a christian act and au evidence oi
enlightenment and civilization to de-
traud the poor out of that amount.
That paper wants to fulfill scripture bi
giving to tho poor that they may havt
.n abundance, and take from tho pool
ivan that which, they have.
Give us tho saina kind of money foi
rich and poor, and we will show yo
in immediate increase of prosperity ii.
-he country.
For eighty years our silver dollar wa
legal tender in this country for an
.mount, and during that time has al
rays been at par with gold, and some
imes better, as it was when demon
tized. Four years ago it was demon
tized, lost its legal tender qualities
md ha3, of course, been at a discoun
,ince ; but the comparison shows tha
monetizing will appreciate it, an
uaVe it as good as ever, v
Four years ago when the silver dol
ar was demonetized, it, (the dollei
coined, not bullion) was worth $1.03 ii
Coll The act of demonetization dr-
reeiated it of course, though but fet
f any had been oirculated in our com:
ory for years. The very fact that bull
ion could be coined only in small quan
-ities, and that not a legal tender foi
nore than five dollars, of course depre
ciated bullion, especially in a countn
like ours, where we produce over $40,-
J00,000 worth of it, annually. Bit
five us a legal tender dollar, pay it ou
u every contract made payable in coi.
when the silver dollar was a legal teu
ler, and we will have r.o trouble i.
aiaking it worth 100 cents in gold. I
it no violation of contract to pay ii
silver, for our bonds call for coin pay
meat, and previous to 1873 the bond
holder would have been glad to get i
silver dollar in place of a gold dollar in
payment for his bonds. We wotild not
hirk a single agreement made to pa
jtir debts, but we would not go furthe.
ban we agreed and pay gold when coil
(silver and gold then being legal tender
was all we promised.
The present subsidiary coin, whic!
contains about 85 cents worth of bull
ion, at present rates, is quoted at 96 j
in gold, per cent less than greenbacks,
and add the difference (0 cents) between
that coin and the proposed dollar o'
4121 grains, and we have the 91 cents
A-orth of silver bullion, worth 1022
vithin J of a cent of gold, just when
pe propose they will be when the dolla?
is made a legal tender. Demonetizing
silver took away its value, because it
:ook away its market. The fine art
xmld not use but a small portion of thi
roduets, and when coining ceased, th
market was gone. So men are afraid
his country will be flooded with silve.
;oinand it will b-jcome a "drug;" whei
.t does we want to be in the "drug'
business.

Editor Democrat :
Reading in your hisb week's issue of

quotation from that eminent standard
of the Greenback ; arty,- The True Citl
set: '

drculatmg medium, and we insist, In the lan3m?e o!
Thonu, .!,,,, that he -
preaed a ,d th, eircuiatlon re, to the nation, to
whom it be.onjrs."
Being mysolf a Greenbacker in prin
ciple, I am impelled to add a few
thoughts by way of comment on the
ideas presented by, and expressed in,
the section of the Indianapolis platform
as quoted. Tho section goes fully a
far, it f-Kc-uis to us, as any honest acd
patriotio American citizen could jiossi
bly permit himself to go in the expres
sion of Lis political principles upoii the
points in question. And to lhi3 point
we feel fully assured a patriotic and
honest American citizen can go, both in
his profession and practice, and in doinj:
so fully and freely, act from the purest
of motives and in strict consonance
with the duties of the true patriot, thi
rights of the most honest citizen, and
the instircts that must always impel
the honest voter in the exercise of hi
highest constitutional right, i. e., the
right to do Lis part in the government
of Lis country, and in shaping its pol
icy and practice, executive and legisla
tive, by the simple act of voting aright
at the ballot box. An inflationist whe
simply cries "more money," without re
gard to some true, solid, safe, and sub
stantial basis of a true and intrinsic
value for that money, which basis can,
must and shall be made as broad, dee
and extended as are the life, Lope ano
Jestiny of the American Republic, and
all its people, and all their interests, a
well as the iutsrests of that great anr
rand people's prosperity, can hardly b
regarded as a wise xlitical economist,
and eertainly not as a true stute?nian.
and in point f patriotism Lis wouh
certainly be rcgaided as a very low or
.ler or standard, to say the least of it.
In other words, to speak more plainly,
d: man or tho j-arty that would Coot
he nation with a vastly greater vol mm
jf the circulating lnediuiii known a;
the paper dollar, based on no other lm
sis than the simple power of the govern
ment to set its stamp upon it and de
clare its value is a greater foe to Amer
ican constitutional liberty than any
other man or jsirty known in the polit
ical arena at the present hour. Be
cause F.rst. Liberty of a people without a
.jieat, grand and stable system of gov
ernment to foster, protect and insure iU
duration, is of but a transient and sick
ly existence, which can but find its brief
hour of existence, off of which it must
glide down into the gloomy shades ol
eternal death, dragging with it the des
tiny of a nation that contains within
itself a treasure no less than the light
and Lope of the world.
Second. The idea of a great, grand
and stable government exis ing and pro
tecting its own duration, without both
real wealth and some credit, both at
home and abroad, is an anomaly too
stupendous, yet alas 1 too shadowy, for
either reason or common sense to even
contemplate, much les3 adhere to or
support.
Third. And the value of the circu
lating medium of a nation that is mould
ed in utter disregard of the standard of
values recognized by the whole world,
and without any inherent or intrinsic
value of it3 own, would certa;nly be
one of the most worthless, nnmeritori-
ous foundations, as a pecuniary base of
governmentalpowfr, that tho world Las
ever known. And yet inflationists, un
der the assumed name of Greenbackers
inflationists in precept, yet repudia-
tioniats in practice do proclaim that a
government can make anything a dollar
in valuo by simply calling it a dollar.
About as sensible, I trow, as to say "1
:an put that dog io possession of five
good legs by simply calling hi tail u
lea."
The citizens hope, Lis all, lies in tl e
c institutional guni antccs enveloped in
the grand governmental system tl at

Strang, grand, pure and active, and Le
and nil posterity aro safe.
But inflation means future national
bankruptcy, and final repudiation. Re
pudiation tneaus denial of the money of
ihe nation, as well as t'.e debts of the
nation. And the whole together meant
poverty to the rich, and irreparable pov
erty, irrctrievablo disaster, and irre
leemable degradation to the poor. And
yet all these mean nothing losi than a
horrible culmination throughout the na
tion of want uud woe, with attendant
evils of mis ry and crime, blosscming
in blackness and ripening into a hideous
harvest of riots, murders and b!ood
cruelty, and an "irrepressible conflict, '
not between races, but castes not be
i.'ween a government und a part of it.
people, but between. a people amongs
themselves, with no great, grand, gov
ernmental power to prevent the evil.
The corrupt and false legislation f
the last decade in this country ha.
aroused the inceused multitudes of thi
laboring classes, .the grand commoner:
and the working masses, and has give!
rise to sido issues and side issue parties.
Tho Ropublican party, standing chik t

side issues and side issue rarties with

This secret wail will sound throughout
all their shadowy councils in the com

The letter from "Greenbacker" which
we publish to-day takes up considerable
f our space, to the exclusion of editor
ial matter, but it will well repay the
perusal. It will be seen that the writer
occupies precisely the same ground
taken by the Democracy of the whole
nation on that subject, and shows the
utter fallacy and inutility of a Green
