rmortat. Mitchell Pointers. Senator Mitchell epofee in Albany Ibis afternoon Following are pointers from bis speeches in the TJ. S. senate : "Can the eight million and odd farm ers in this country be hoodwinked and deceived by the pretense that their in terests are to be advanced by the demon etization of silver and tLe maintenance and perpetuity of the sicgle gold stand ard T Caa they be so blind to their own interests as to be made to believe that the elimination cf one of the precious metals from the circulating medium of the country, with the resultant contrac tion of that medium, the destruction of silver, the money of the poor man and tbe workingman, will advance their in terest or contribute to their welfare? To suppose for one minute that such a thing can be so, is to misinterpet the in telligence of the great masses ot the farmers, the planters, and producers of this country." September 12, 1893, in U. S. Senate. "The eyes of the money changers of Lombard street and the unconscionable stock gamblers, of Wall street are cen tered npon the Senate of the United Slates as never before. They await with ill conceited anxiety tbe result of a vote that will increase by one-half the pur chasing power of gold and cut down in like proportion the price of every agri cultural commodity produced in this country. Demonetize and ntterly de stroy silver as a money metal, as is pro posed by the pending bill, and the rec ord on history's page of tbe disgraceful scramble among the naUons that must inevitably follow for tbe possession of the world's Bupply of gold, will be a dark and inaffacible blot on tbe civilixation of tbe age. Then each of the great powers, like the miserable miser in the chimes of Normandy, will cry, "Gold ! Gold ! Gold !" and to obtain it no sacrifice of either interest or honor will be too great, not even the reduction of the people to a system of peonage or serfdom. Let this be done, then the little less than four thousand million of gold in tbe world will become the mighty and attractive jack pot far the possession of which the dice of the nations will be thrown. And pending that great international game, in which the cations will be gamblers, the best interests, the most sacred rights, the brightest hopes, the highest aspirations of the great masses of the people vrill. it is feared, go down forever in impenetrable darkness and irretrieva ble rum.' September 12, 1S93. "The repudiation argument is the old, threadbare one of the tnonometallista. It is tbe argument of the creditor against the debtor, of the banker against the farmer, of the rich against the poor, of the bondholder against the interest-paying masses, ot the holder of the bond for the pound of flesh against the help less sufferer, bleeding at every pore as Shylock'apmnd is exicted; it is the ar- j gumentoi the capitalist against the hon est toil of the daily laborer, the farmer, the mechanics, the artisan. It is the argument of Wall street against the suf fering, toiling millions tbe bu'lders and producers of the country whose Done and muscle, whose sweat and blood, whoa a indomitable energy, fearless en terprise, integrity, and push have laid tbe fouadatioa aad erected tbe gran 4 structure of the empires in the Tast fields of tbe mighty West. In a contro versy like this I prefer to be classed with the latter." Speech of Jannary 29, 1890. Contradicts Itself. Editor Democrat: Tbe Oregonian is doubtless tbe ableil as well as tbe most persistent advocate of the gold standard theory on the Pacific coast and is probably the equal of any of the advocate of that idea in the United States. Now if the very funda mental argument on which it relies to maintain its theories can be overthrown it follows that the theory must be wrong. I propose to show that the Oregoman contradicts Its main argument in favor of a gold standard. It is a plain contra diction, one that is inherent in the ar gument and which, is fatal to the theory I will place some ot the statements of tbe Oregonian in parallell columns in or der to show the truth of my charge more clearly Senator Mitchell Reviewed. From the Oregonian of Sept. ltita 1896: The relative value of the metals could not be changed by anv system o! coin age by the United States upon any r tio. From tbe Oregonian of Sept. 17th speak ing of the "moral obligations of the government to maintain the pari ty": The moral obliga tion of the govern ment to maintain the parity that is to hold the value of the silver coins op to that of gold rests upon the fact that the government is responsible for tbe coinage of silver dol lars worth only hall what they pretend 10 be worth Phis repeats and stiengthens the pledge of 1S90. Like mat, while it seems to be a concession to the silver people it really puts in tbe bands of an honest and intelligent pres ident power to main tain tbe gold stand ard by holding the value of silver coin age op to that of tola. From the Oregon ian of Sept. 15th- ll silver be Admit ted to free coinage then silver coin aiao ill Bland strictly the uiirket value of tne metal in it; whereas now. coined on govern ment account, with limited tsane, it is held to parity with gold though worth on tbe ratio only about half as much. On a par with the senseless twaddle about the dishonest dollar, tbe 50-cent dollar continually coming, not from senators or members of tbe Louse we do not bear it where a decent respect not j only for troth bnt for the proprieties has an abiding place, bat from certain shal low brained editors, gold monometallists and others, who are either dishonest in their asseverations or have not tbe in tellectual capacity to distinguish be tween fact and fiction, between argu ment and senseless slang and farfetched ridicule is the assertion as to the in trinsic value of the gold dollar. Gold, we are told, is intrinsically valuable, and it is this intrinsic value alone that giye jt value and stability as money. This ij an error. Gold baa no more intrinsic valne than iron, or nickel, or ead, or any other metal. Nothing is in rinsically valuable. If anything can be properly said to be intrinsically valuable, then I would say there is more intrinsic value in an apple, or pear, or orange, or cantaloupe than in all the three thou sand and edd millions of gold in tbe world. Tbe value of any article is some thing external to such aiticle. "Tbe term 'valne,' " save Macleod, in bis Ele ments of Economics, "denotes a relation reciprocally existing between two ob jects " And again. "Value is only tbe price of things, and that an never be certain, because it must be at all times an! in all places of the same value Therefore, nothing can have intrinsic value." Gold, having no intrinsic value, has intrinsic qualities, just as diamonds, or lead, or iron, or the thousand herbs of tbe field and the barks of tbe trees of tbe forest have intrinsic qualities. Bat nore of these, no less any of the latter than of gold has in and of itself and alone, separated from all other ex ternal objects cr things, any intrinsic value. Gold, therefore, derives its value from external operations, from the nses to whicci it can be and ia applied by man. It is th function of money, the imperial stamp and recognition of the govern ment that gives it value, and in virtoeof which it does duty in the world in the interests of society and civilization. If gold has intrinsic value, then that value must attach to it In unvarying rate at all times, in all places, nnder all circum stances. This is not true. In other words, it is falsely asserted that it is to the intrinsic value of the metal out of which money is made to which we mn-it look for its val ne as money. Never, Mr President was a greater heresy uttered. Dos any sane man believe that a pouaJ of gold bullion with full governmental recognition as legal tender monsy with Irawa from it is worth as much, is of the Barn's value as is a pound of gold bullion jrith the government right to have it oined into legal tender money ? To coin one dolla out ot SS.Jri grains of gold and another; dollar out ot S7IJ, grains of silver with the declaration by law that each shall be one dollar cannot make tbem equal in value; lor by pro cess of coinage or exactmeot of legal tender nothing has been added to either dollar or taken away from either dollar. We cannot aifect the, valne of the metals or change their rela tions toward each other by anything we may do. We cannot Pa tricks with legisla tion, we can make a dollar signify . one thing or another bu' we cannot change the relative values of thintrs by legisla-! tion. 1 be ratio between gold and silver as between all; upon other tbings of val ne is no; nxed. can not be fixed Dy leg islation. Tbe law of commerce regu latea that. From tbe Oregon ian of Sept. 10th But coinage does not create value orj wealtli that did not exist before. If a government tries to give to coined money greater value than that of the bullion in it, commerce rejects the false valuation and refuses to give for the money more goods than.would be given for the same of bullion. By force of law and the power of tbe President it proposes to force npon tbe people an honest dollar indeed ! The contradictions in tbe above are fatal. In the one it asserts that the government cannot add to or take from the value of tne metal by coinage. In the other it claims that it is the duty ol tue government to create scarcity ot the coined silver dollar when silver be comes too plentiful and thus by opera tion of law to increase the value It admits in one cae that it "the gov ernment tries to give to coined money greater value than that of the bullion in it commerce rejects tbe false valuation," but turns right around and advocate tbe idea of tbe government holding np or increasing the value of tbe silver dol lar, by law limiting tbe number to be coined. It the power to mcnipulate the amount of money to be coined rests, as it says, "in the hands of an honest and intelligent President," then this govern ment has suddenly fallen from that high position it once held of government of the people by tbe people and for tbe people, to one of unlimited power, by the President and in the interest of tbe money kings of Wall etreet if be chooses to favor tbem as Mr Cleveland did. Lex Sized Up. The Corvallia Times thus ingeniously figures out an interesting situation : 4 isoes oenator nitcneu believe in the free, unlimited and independent coinage of silver? Ans He does. Q Does be suppott tbe St. Louis gold presidential candidate? . Ans He does, Q Being a silver man, why does be support tbe gold candidate ? Ana He can elect himself senator by doing it. Q How can be tbns elect himself ? Editor Dtmocrat: Hon. J. 11. Mitchell is a pleasant speaker, and his speech delivered here veaterdav was free ftotn abuse and a fair one. His speech though gave no en couragement to gold standard republi cans. The fore part ot the Sena'ors speech was devoted to a discussion of our political hutory under our "articles of confederation." and under our pres ent "ibnstitution." Among other things he said that if a countrvs exuoiti exceeded its im ports Jt would be ia a prosperous con dition. Accordina to this the Uuited States is now most wonderfully pros' perous. I take the figures herein after given from the World's Almance f..r 1S96, they being taken from the bureau ot sta- istics Washington D. C. and are correct. Our exports have exceeded our im ports during the last three years hun dreds of millions of dollars. In 1S94 our eiDotta exceeded our iuiDorts by the enormous sum of over two hundred and thirty seven millions of dollars, tbe high est since the year ISSl. During the year 1S95 our exports exceeded our im ports by over seventy fiye millions of dollars. How was it under Ex-President Harrison's administration? In 1839 onr imports exceeded our exports by nearly three millions of dollars. In 1S9J our exports exceeded our imports by only sixty nine millions of dollars and 1891 our exports exceeded our im ports by only forty millions of dollars. Not long aro eome people thought, lately, when the gold was leaving ns, without looking np the facte that our imports were exceeding onr exports and that it was owing to our tariff laws. By an actual comparison of the sched ules of tbe McKinley tariff with the Wilson tariff one cannot help but note tbe strong protective features of each bill. That great oracle ot trnth (?) the Oregonian in its issue of ISinst., eyr. "Tbe truth is we have been economising for several years and are just beglnuing to reap the fruits. In the last six years we have exported nearly one billion of doilars worth ot merchandise more than we have imported " From 1SW to 1S93 oar merchandise exports were ' the enor mous um of $604,936,997 iaore than our imports, and yet we hear people say tbat the free wool and tariff of fifty per cent on imported goods are not eoough for our manufacturers. Manufacturers have never been protected more ttan nnder the Wilson tariff. There was more wool produced in tbe United States it 1S94, than in any year of our history bnt one. There was lees wool imported into this country in 1S91 than any year since IS70. Less wool has been imported nnder the present tariff than ever before. Tne troth is those of our woolen man ufacturers in the East who have been energetic and have had tbe capital to operate their mi U nave prospered ar never before, and we now are shipping more American merchandise every month than ever in our hit ry before. In July ol this year our exported mer chandise over oar imported merchan dise was nearly sixteen millions of dol lars. Some raiils are not loaning Decease .if want of capital aud eo-ne who depend solely tor their operation on local or home trade, cannot run because the peo ple bave nz money to bay, and they can find no sale, but the statistic show that our country is rapidly leaping ahead in exporutiont. The Oregonian cf to day (.let mat.) says: ror the seven i months ending July 31, tbis country ex- j ported to E a rope nearly sixty nine mil-! lions of dollars of merchandise more than were imported in the same months of 1895." " V e have imported also forty three milliora less." Tbe result ia a foreign credit balance U is y,ear on mer chandise in our favor on trade alone of more than ninety milloo of dollars. Tbe year 1S95 is remarkable and July has not beeo equaled for experts for thirteen years. "We bave been eagerly seeking a mar ket abroad for oar products, while we have been denying onr wives imported luxuries. Tbe Oregonian taye, our exports of maonfartores are the largest ever known, and it is estimated that it wiit reach this year the enormous sum of over two hundred and forty millions of dollars. Even nnJer the most prosperous year of Harrison the Oregon iao states and statistics show tbey only reached little over half as much. Hence it proven tbat tbe Wilson tariff is doing more for manufacturing than any tariff we bave ever bad. Hence it is that the gold is now flow ing our way by the hundreds of millions and tbe bank of England cannot prevent it. If this was happening under renub- ever had. , The protection has been to allow free trade in labor. Tho kind of nroteo- tion we have had for American labor has been a mere pretense a fraud, and un der it foreign labor has been imported under contract to do work Americans should bave done. But the Senator's reciprocity scheme is neatly free trade pure and simple. He said what a fine taing lor this government to ship our metchandise to foreign countries free of ! duty and then iu return for us to per mit them to ship goods here free of duty. This is certainly partial free trade under the euphonious name of "Reciprocity .'' In discussing the money uuestiou which be did briefly, it appeared to the writer that the Senator's sympathies were with the white nietal. He retract ed none of his pronounced free silver coinage view so often expressed in the senate, except he qualified his "Planet of Mars' expression. He claimed that tbe free coinage of gold and silver was the proper thing for the United States to do. Bimetalisra at a fixed ratio by the government was just and proper, but that the republican party was not in favor of it unless foreign nations Great tsritian consented. He could see no way out of it except to wait fcr foreign con sent or what he termed "International Agreement." He declared that he was opposed to a aingle gold standard, and was only in favor of maintaining it until foreign na tions agreed tor ns to go to. hiinetalism. The Senator was fair and did net distort anything. Still from tbe way I viewed it his speech was a vittuat confession of the justice of the position now proclaim ed by the advocates of tbe free coinage of gold and silver, and did not strength en bis party here. The gold standard is either right or wrong. If right we should maintain it. Il wrong we should not maintain it an nonr at least not longer than congress convenes. Geo. W. Wright. M1SFHS.

Mr Bryan was greeted in Philadelphia tonight by a crowd which according to the police and other authorities, exceeded tiny outpouring of tbe people on a similar occasion in the history of the city, lie spoke at tbe Acad emy of Music, which hits a son ting capacity of ubcut 3000. Every availublii inch wus occupied two hours before Bryan arrived. and experts estimate tbe audience at fully 6000.

They say gold is the only metal tbat makes "sound money." A great many of tbem wear little golden buics on their coats, tedicatiog that they love gold, and care nothing for silver. Q Does Senator Mitchell believe tbe f.-ee, unlimited and independent coinage of silver would be good for the farmers? Ans He does. Q How do you know this? Ans September 12, 1833 in a bf.eech in the senate be said : "Can the eight million and odd farmers in this country be hoodwinked and deceived by the pre tense that their interest are to be ad vanced by tbe demonetization of silver and the mainteinance and perpetuity of the singlegold standard ? Can they be so blind to tbeir own interests as o be made to believe that the elimination of one of the precious metals from tie cir culating medium of the country, with the resultant contraction of that medium, the destruction of silver, tbe money of tbe poor man and the workingman will ator Mitchell did not give all the s'atis tics. The senator of course praised the tariff npon which men of all parties prac. tically agree and upon which there should be no issue. Isuts really in the Wilson tariff tight being more on what products to place the tariff than other wise. The Senator spoke about tariff on wheat, wool and hops. Now every one knows tbat the tariff on bops are eight cents per pound and as we bave a surplus of hops and depend on i lie for. eign uiarke. we have to take what is given us under a home demand. Hops are now selling from 3 to 5 cents per pound so what good does tariff on hops do? Tariff on wheat 20 per cent, bul every one knows no wheat is shipped here from foreign countries except some new variety for seed. Any one who will read the statistics will see that the world's supply of wool has been con stantly iucreaeing and has greatly in creased in Australia, Russia, Europe and South America in the last ten years The result is wool is and has been a d:ug in the great markets of the world. If wool today was bringing a giod prire advance their interests, or contribute to.i London it would soon leave our shores .. . . . III.. , , A.

We have a home market and while oir home market is rapidly increasing, yet we find no good foreign market anymore. Other coun tries like Australia glut the market, aid no tarifl can prevent the surplus. I he tariff will remain with us, and the truih is it is now and always has been a means of adding our manufacturing es tahlish merit, but it is aim the trull that today none of the live stock nor none of the products of the farmer are materially benefited by a tariff I have fust shown that the Kupposed benefit to the farmer even on woo! is under the world's present snpply more imaginary than real. To protect o'ir manufacturing indus tries to a reasonable extent and llien to ir. tec tour American laborers so that they, aud they ' alone shall do the work in onr American mills; tet there be placed a tariff lax of $250 per head on dastardly is like calling a mole hill a mountain.

Be reasonab'e. Tbe republican press has been trying that the Wilson bill would ruin our man ufactories, and one would think to read the papers and sei the picture that they were all closed ; but the following from veeterdays Oregonian give the whole business away : "Our exports of manu facture are tbe largest ever known. They reached nearly 2,OC0,000 during Juiy, and lor the calendar year Staliati c'.n Ford estimates that they will go to 240 000.000.

She never reaches the full de trree of womanly de vclonmcnt until she has felt the pleasing responsibilities of t) maternity. All this ? happiness may be IJ marred or may be Si turned Into misery If the child is not a health child. The health of the child depends on the health of the mother, both before and after birth. Heredity is strontr, and it is every woman's di-ty to give her children the best possible chance in life. Nothing- that she could pos sibly rive them can be as valuable as health. Wealth cannot be enjoyed without health. Nothing; can be enjoyed without health. Health is life. People who are not healthy are only half alive. The child who starts out with a robust body and vigorous, virile health, has everything to be thankful for and nothing to be afraid of. You cannot expect sncb a child to spring from a weak and sickly mother. Most all of womac s weakness and particularly the weakness that most strongly influences tbe health of children, comes from some derangement or disease of the distinctly feminine orgnna. All such trouble i as unnecessary as it is terribly distressing. Dr. Pierce's Favorite Prescription will care all trouble of this nature. There is no guess-work about this statement, and there i no qualification, Tbe "Favorite Prescription" should be used promptly and persistently until the ymptoms entirely disappear. In everv case, it restores perfect health and strength and assists in the healthful and regular per formancesof all the natural functions. The "Favorite Prescription" should be taken regularly by every woman during the entire period of gestation. It rives strength to II tbe organs involved, lessens the pains and danger of childbirth and insure the health of both mother and child.
