There are many cufflcient reasons why tlTe United States should favor independ ent bimetallism without waiting for the consent of any nation on earth. I will in this brief article ouly give a few. Our government bonds are paysble in coin. Now to pay them In gold coin would be to ignore our vaet wealth now hidden in our mines of silver. To pay in coin means to pay In gold or silver coin, not in gold alone. The govern ment should use silver as a money of final redemption equally with gold. Then if the silver leaves our shores we have the gold left, or if the gold leaves we have the silver with us, and Urns we will not be driven to the humiliating spectacle of mortgaging our country by issuance of bonds to get gold. The silver will not leave us unless it is at a pre mium and if onr silver dollar sold -at more than one hundred cents in gold sorely there could ba no complaint, be cause for every one hundred cents in sil ver that left us more than one hundred csnts in gold for which it sold would be Uftwith us. If our government had agreed to pay in gold I would say keep the contract, but it sold its bonds on a silver bid and silver is good enough for the British bond holdei. There is no danger of a silver dollar of the United States being worth less than one hun dred centa in this country. It can b easily proved that onr borne demand each year for silver dollars would absorb more yea many times more than the whole world's production of silver. Th United States exacts by way ol tariff taxes and internal revenue taxes each year about four hundred millions of dollars. The various states, counties and cities about six hundred millions more making a grand total of about ten bundled millions. Now the total world's annual product of silver is two bondred millions of dollars. All agree that fully one-third is used in the arts and sciences and in manufacturing silver plate, watchse, etc., leaving in all the world about one hundred and thirty millions of dollars to be coined. Now if it all came to our mints leaving none for anv other nation it could all be used here and it stamped and issue J as a full legal tender same aa the government doss gold, it would not be sufficient to pay cne-fiflh of our taxes alone. Suppose for the sake of argument that it went for a baH cent discount or 90)4 cents, would not the tax payers be rushing after the silver dollar f they could buy it for cents and use it to pay on buodred cents of taxes- In my t-pinion if it was made a full legal vender as Mr Br; an de sires that it ehauid be, it would not go below cue Hundred cents becauss of the demand for it to pay the tundred of millions of taxes and debts each year. But it would not all come here. Other nations such as M-nco. France, Japan and a!l oilier countries eveo the gold countries which nae it as change money would be bidding tor it. Taking the law governing our mints for it, the German ilver dollar of Furnpa which is worth a dollar there with lees silver id it tbsn ours, would not be brought here because It would not be worth as much here as there for they would have to add more silver to the silver in their dollar btfore it would be worth dollar here. I a other words they would bare to melt and refine their dollars and add more silver to that taken out of their dollar before the United States would receive it at the mint and stamp it as a dollar, ibis Is the case with every country in Earope and it is mere buncombe to say stiver would leave there aod come to onr mints. Europe buys silver and baa not any to spare. Neither baa Japan or China or any country in Asia. 'Neither would it pay to melt silver wan; and re fine it for coinage because it is worth more and sella for more as silver ware Under a bimetallic standard we would ell our products to Asia and get our balance of trade in silver and sell just as many products, beef and pork to Earope and get our balance of trade in gold. Tbe Cnlted Slates would then have tbe world's markets and with silver and gold or silver alone if she desired to keep her gold, pay off ber obligations, get out o debt aod be tbe most truly prosperous nation on earth. Tbe government could use the silver to pay her government obligations now payable ia coin and tbe British bond bolder receiving the silver wonld be equally intererted In keeping silver dol lars on a parity with gold. As tbe Uni ted Slates used more silver sne could retain her gold taken in as taxes thus adding if necessary to her stock of gold without borrowing, fbe people too would be most prosperous indeed, for with a market lor products with silver countries who can only buy frost ns if we take their silver, and a market for our products to tbe sold stardard coun tries of Earope who are compelled to buy from us, every producer would bave some money, if not a pocketful, and that is what we want for flourishing times and just what we can have under a bi metallic standard. However if the gold standard contin ues, the wages of school teachers, and all employees will become lower and lower, because schools and all kinds ol institutions cannot be carried on if the tax payers cannot get money. Scarce wheat makes high wheat and takes more : of other products in proportion, to ge wheat. So if tbe volume of money is scarce it takes more labor or products to get money. Again if silver has to be redeemed in gold then it is only token money and need not ba coined at all. Under a gold standard, ..,jr is treated the same as paper. AH tbe democratic platform asks is that silver bs treated thi same as gold; that we have free coinage of gold as now, but tbat we go McKinley and the gold standard one better and Lave free coinage of silver on eqnal terms with gold, that is gold aod silver and gold and silver certificates, which certainly is sound money. Now for a brief discussion of tbe platform. (To be continued ) Interesting View of It. A Salem banker stepped into The Jonrnhl office to declare bts com tempt for Attorney General Idleman's speech on tbe money question. lie also declared tnat tbe McKinley gold standard platform wat an invitation to disaster if carried out. He said. "The bankers firtt'.ally say: "If Bryan la elected come st once and demand your deposits In gold : I say a verdict of tbe people for McKinley is a verdict tbat gold alone Is tbe money of final redemption and tbat nothing else will be a legal tender henceforth." It would bust every bank in tbe country and toree men in New York could break tha United States treasury Inside of 24 hours alter tbat verdict ol tbe people ia given at tbe polls. "To elect McKinley on what they call the gold standard, or on the preposition that our paper and silver legal tender money is not full American debt paying money unless made good by the the gov ernment with gold redemption, is to pre cipitate a run on gold such as few banks could meet. The bankers who demand the single gold standard must expect to pay depositors In gold coin alone. II they declare our paper and silver are not lawful money on equal terms with gold they must not expect to rece.ve any!hiu,( but gold or pay out anything but gold in case of a run . They will cut off by such a course their only avenue of escape. The people will never dis credit our full legal tender money. The bankers should not do It, unless they a.e prepared to meet the cousequences." Special Washington Letter. W A&HINOTON, Oct., 17, 169C. Fall house-cleaning at the Whito House is completed and everything is in readiness for the return of the president and his family. The work, according to long established custom, Is done most thoroughly every four years, on the eve of the (residential election. So whether McKinley A Bryan takes up bis abode there on the 4th of March next, he will find everything in apple-pie order. In either case, thanks will be due to Mrs. Cieveland, who has had much to do with the present improvements. The magnifi cent new carpet in the east room, a ver itable cloth of gold, was selected by Mrs. Cleveland before she left to spend the summer at Gray Gables. The white and gold panels and borders in this room have a'.l been restored and the furniture is newly upholstered. A new carpet le also been purchased for tits corridor, and the green, blue and red psr ors, where the grand receptions are held, are as bright as it is possible to make them. The President's private office, to which only the most favored succeed in gaining admittance, having overcome the Cereberus, Tharber, is a triumph of Mrs. Cleveland's decorative art. The prevailing colors her are pale greet and a cream tint, with a touch of pink here and there, that makes it one of the mol tasteful and daintiest ol rooms. A shield of the national colors 'n each of the rounded corners gives the apartment an official air. The carpet selected by Mrs. Cleveland is of pale green and pink. The cabinet room, adjoining this apart- meot. has a new crimson velvet carpet and tbe stairway teading to this part of the bonse has been newly carpeted. "Old Glory" never dies, tniine one asked the architect of tbe capital, who is also superintendent ot the boildicg, the other day, what bscomes of tbe flags hick fly before t e dome of the capttol the year round and over tbe two boom of congress when they were ia session. Sometimes, af'.er a great storm, they are torn and frayed, but the oext day vhey seam new again, an rmrmdimeut of per petual youth. ' They are tbe same flairs," said tbej architect . '-There are no new one. I The ld flags are simply mended. W ben a stripe biows away a oew one is rut in its place and the same old flag is polled np to tne head of the staff". If il. is tbe blue field with stars that is gone, tins i reproduced. If only a rent, it is darned. If it is past that, a new stripe is pat ia. As the old portion euMombs to the brexe that toes its folds proudly, new ones are put in their place until these ia their turn, become old at.d are blown away. Vear after year the texture may change, bet they are the same old flags. No one here can tell when the fligt were bought and tbe winds a'one know where in the four quarters of the earth are tbe resting places of the bits torn by them from the emblem of a liberty that is eternal." Justice Stephen J. Field, of the Unit ed States Supreave Court, has returned to the city at lei spending the summer in California, where at one time there were very serious fears tbat he would never recover from an illnees which attacked him. Now be has regained bis usual health and strength aod feU quite rqnat to his duties on the beoch during the coming term of court. Nothing can more cJsturb the equanimity of Justice Field than to bear it intimated tbat be ! intends to resign, tie will have to lose a great deal of tbat indomitable will and mental vigor which tie has shewn in so marked a degree daring so many years, before be would ever listen to such a suggestion even on tbe part ot those ah j bave his best interests at heart. Jostice Fields is the grand old man ol the Su preme Bench today, aod the Pacific coast may well be proud tbat be hails from that section of the United Slates. By tbe depositing ot gold in tbe United Stales treasury tbe amouot of bank notes in circulation was increased over four million dollars dd riog tbe month of September. Tbe monthly statement of tbe comptroller of ths currency places the outstanding bank note circulation at $23,552,030, an increase during Ibe month of I4.025.5S1, aod sines Septem ber 30, 1895. of $20,789,793. The circu lation based on bends Is 2U,6o7,694 Tbe coinage executed at tbe United States miats during September waa Gold, $3,140,923; silver, $2,754.15, of which 2,700.100 was in standard silver dollars. The selgoorage on this was over eSOO.OOO. Allax B. Slaosox. Col Ingersoll bas mads the following astounding assertion which shows bow little be knows about finance: "In tbe first place, money is the product of na tare; money is a part of nature. No man ever made or created money. It is beyoud tbe power of legislation and con gresses. It is beyond the power ot the human race. Moury is not made. It has to be lound.'' Bryan has been sweeping the country. Men who go out of curiosity to bear him go away coaviiictd. He is the most wonderful man of this generation, an intellectual giant, an example ol physi cal maubood, absolutely honest and up right. , A drummer for a well known Portland bouse waa in town yesterday, and he says everything south of here is hot for Bryan. The friends of free silver are standing in together closely and gather ing strength every day. Congressman Boutelle alio will speak in Oregon esid to be a regular calami ty bowler, and predicts disaster of the most awful kind if Bryan is elected. A poor way to restore confidence. So far the republican gains in tbe state elections have been 18,000, democratic gains 90,000, net democratic gains 72,000, and yet the republicans have bowled themselves hoarse over Maine and Ver mont. A prominent citizen of Southern Ore gon was in town yssterday, and he says Jackson county will giys 1000 for Bryan and Coos will not be over 200 behind tbat figure. For the best drugs, Dawson's. SATUR DAY NIGHT THOUGHTS There is never a time when so many would like to run a newspaper as just before a presidential election , Many of them would make the fur fly like a Christmas snow storm. Th-y would notice every article against their side and tell people what they thought of the writer, would give him fits from the shoulder, they wouldn't be afraid To be candid a street corner political dis cussion, with swingiag arms and loud ejaculations that end worse than they begin, leaving stains and had blood, ae the kind of paper some of them would run. That doesn't count. Consider able of the present campaign has been a uame calling, ahunive, coercive affair, aud the resu't has undoubtedly been backacting, a fan many aie beginning to appreciate. n far aa the Democrat is concerned tl.is Saturday night it will do ust as little d that as poesibls, seek ing only to Hi tieet of its ability to give facts, a course that pleases the masses. Four things a man must learn to do If ho would make bis record true; To think without confusion clearly; To love his Mtriw men sincerely ; - To act from boneet motives purely ; To trust in God and heaven securely. Henry J. Van Dyke, D. D. The Democrat doesn't endorse the rotten rgiring of Mr Carlis'e in his own town, an event of the past week. Hod Mr Carlisle been judicious, though, he would have made no speeches at home. For Methodists And Others. Il view of the fact that a gieat deal is bring claimed fr McKinley personally tbe following. Iro'ra the St. Louis Christ ian Advocate, a Mfihodist paper, of Oct. 7, will be read with interest: During the last three months we have boated over both Europe aod the Brit ish Isles that we will certainly have an anti-saloon pretident daring tbe next four years; tbat our White House will certainly have one dry, sober, clean quadreonium. We were under the im pression that the leading candidates of tbe two great parties, the one a Metho dist and the other a Presbyterian, were like Caesar's wife in unquestioned, spot less, moral integrity.

Deb Sib: The Wice respectfully sub mits to you absolute evidence that Major William McKinley. throuch his wile, Ida McKinley, is tbe ewer of tbe saloon property located at 90S. 910 and 112 Sooth Market St.. Canton. Ohio, aod that he has beeo tbe owner of said pro perty since Jul 3, and that during tae paot seven years it baa been used for saloon purposes. These enclosures consist of a p'cture of this saloon made from a photograph taken for us. aod wbkh is io our poetoo; a map show ing trie location of said saloon ; a copy of an abstract made for as by a cotne tent abstractor, showing the title ot the properly Ut r io the name of Ida Mc Kinley ; and a cop of an aSIavit sworn toby a reputable physician of Canton. tetirmg that dariog the past seven j ran this property has beeo used for saloon purposes. Thsorigina s of alt these doconeats are io the powssloa of The Voice, aud can beintpectei by you or by roar re presentative at any time. We submit to yod that the present and previous managers of this ealooo have been inter- viewed by a respoatibU representative of Tbe Voice, who was assured by these ssloookeepers that Major McKinley owned the prop ani collected tbe rent thereon. More than a month ago we telegraphed Mj r McKinley, asking that he telegraph us a denial if there things tie not true. We have received no reply io rrgoec:iea eith this over whelming evidence. We call your at tention to sev-tioo 242, the Bk of Doc trines of tbe Methodist Kp-.sc. -pal Church, and m-wt respectiully ask your honest views regarding these two poiats, lowit: 1. Do you know of any reasoo eby this section of the Discipline should not be applied to tne ease of ttsj Wm. Mc Kin'.ey ? If you know of any each reas ons will von kindly state tnetu? 2. Considering this soo of the Discipline and repeated resolutions of the Utneral Conference of tbe Methodist Chnrch, is it your opinion that a mem ber of the Methodist Church is warran ted in castinc a vote for the owner of this saloon property for president of the Coiled States? Vonr v!es on this point are most respeclfally requested, regardless of what tb-y may be. Very respectfully, Ewtob oe The- Voice At B'st, we paid but little attention to the letter, but finding It was accotn panled by sworn testimony from profes sional and official ct'isens of Canton, ws are constrained to ask, io all earnestness: Have we been leading onr friends of the Old World astray in this matter? Can it be tbat one of the candidates refuses to say whether or not he collects rent from a saloon? Ths time ia short; let us bavs the truth, aod nothing but tbe truth. Aa instance is cited of a Wisconsin bsnker who recently went to South Da ko'a as a strong gold atandard man. Qs writes that he wil. jrn "converted to the cause of sound money, gold and sil ver 18 to 1." He says iu his letter : have learned more of the true condition and needs of ths producing 3 asses ths farmers, cattlemen and laborers of the West on this trip tbsn I ever itnew be fore, aud am at liberty to confess tbat I have been compelled to make a complete chaoiee ot front on the financial ques tion. You mar count on me to do what I can henceforward to secure the elec tion of Mr Bryan, as well as the silver congressman in my district." The following from Paducah, Ky.t is sample of the way things are going In that state: Captain llughey Burns, prominent farmer and an old soldier of Sunny Slope, this county, is 78 years of age, and has been voting the repuolican ticket all his life. Like eleven other time-tried republicaa farmers in his neighborhood. Captain Burns will vote for Bryan . A rl,na.

Just look a that crowd tbe world, the fib and the devil all stand ng in together and working for McKinley. It will take a .Moody revi val of three wegka' duration to get this job lot of sinners sorted over after elec tion. Several republican speakers met in Albany yesterdty and discussed tbe ait nation. They were overheard by a Bry an man. One of them, a very candid man, said it would have been all right for McKinley several weeks sgo, but now it looked dubious. 'The truth is," he said, 'thi big mistakes have ben made in the campaign ; one that of the general calling cf names, that only strengthens the fight agiinst ns; the re fusal to enter into joint debate, that gives tbe enemy gro inds to think that we haven't tie argument to do it with," and a third which the eavesdropper for got. Tbe following democratic nominees for congress are all for Bryan : L F Grover, nominated In 1S58; Aaron E Wait, 1862; James II Slater. 1870; John Burnett, 172; John hittaker UTS, and 1SS0; John Myers, lSSt; XL Butler. 1SS; John M Uearln, ISSso; Kobert A Mi'ier, !); K M Veatch aod James U Slater, 18V2; James K Weather lor 1 and James A Kaley, 1S94; Jefferson Myers and A s Bennett. 1896.

Wm Galloway is a strong Bryan man. Mme Milmotb, of Cincinnati, who predicted cornctly tbe tact three elec tions, Garfild'e assassination, etc, has now predicted Bryan's election. Sue says: Bryan will win, hot tbe election will be close. Mr McKinley cannot win, but even if be did, his time in the presidential rhair woold be short. He ha not long t" live. Seweil will be elected vice president, Ilobrl second. Watson far io the rear. McKinley will carry Ohio. Xo national disaster will follow Bryan's election. Time will im prove."

Wait un til Monday night aud you'il see plenty of Uryan supporters parading. More than two-thirds of the railroad men who turn out ia tbe McKinley parade will cast their ballots for the silver boy.

The Scio Press says : The article "Till man and tied Munung," in Tuesday's Albany Herald is the most untruthful statement that we have ever seen pub lished in a newspaper that pretends re spectability. No wonder tho writer'An Knthusiast" withholds his true name from publication. The only word of truth in the article from beginning to end was, the red bunting, (not the red white and blue bunting tbat he would have the Herald s rea tera believe) was torn down : and this is but half the truth.

Trailers are more bodeful as to the outlook for bu siness lur in the year and next spring. Ibe reaction in 'nat pnoes after an ad vance of 22 cents is tbe natural result ot a desire to realize proBU, an advance in rates fur money and heavy receipts of wheat at primary markets caused by high er prices.
