A PEARL EXPLODES.
The Times is usually content
to skim the surface in discussing
great questions of general inter
est. It seldom philosophises or
makes scientific investigations.
But this financial agitation is af
fecting men of all calibers and
occupations. Political economists
as well as political history are be
ing made rapidly, and even child
ren discuss "parity," "ratio,"
"mint value," "repudiation,"
and the various phrases that enter
into financial arguments. The
Times is not content to repeat
commonalities. It wants to throw
into the lieaVing sea of monetary
debate the calming oil of origi
nal and overwhelming proof.
"He who would search for pearls
must dive below." The Times
dove and returned to the surface
with a remarkable contribution.
The world should hearken for the
Times has discovered:
1st. The fact that Wallis
Nash was born an Englishman.
2nd. The fact that Mr. Nash
does not believe in free coinage
of silver at 16 to 1
There we have the major prem
ise and the minor premise. Does
not the conclusion inevitably fol
low, "The gold standard system
is exclusively and damnably En
glish and should be banished from
America?" Q. E. D. ;lfit every
populist sieze a broom aud help
brush this hateful English sys
tem from the land. We'll adopt
the policy of Mexico and Japan.
,Who would be an Englishman
when he can be a Greaser?
The Times is right. It must
be right. Look at its logic. In
comparable and unanswerable.
And expressed in choicest . and
most forcible- language. Laiu
guage? Language? What lan
guage? Oh misery of miseries!
Come rocks and mountains! Fall
tears; and were every drop a boil
ing ocean, ye could not drown
the anguish. For the Times, the
multi-coated, popocratic Times;
the noble American,- English
hating Times, uses Oh crown
of thorns! uses Oh cross of
gold! The Times uses the En
glish language!
Notwithstanding their dis
appointment and chagrin con
cerning the inexcusable defiance
of the rules of propriety and wis

be a blessing to the young men and
women who enter its halls in
search of a practical education.
The institution is splendidly
equipped in all its departments,
and the various branches are in
the hands of competent profes
sors. The dean of the faculty,
Professor F. Berchtold, who will
be the head of the school as re

"You shall not crucify .man
kind upon the cross of gold" says
the shallow Nebraska boy. Ah,
it was not the cross that hurt,
Brother Bryan. And it is not the
cross of gold that is hurting us
now. It is to that cross that the
hope of .the American people
clings, amid the raging storms of
populism. The nails, the cruel
nails brought the agonizing tears
: and let the precious blood. It is
from the nails of silver that we
shrink, Brother Bryan. The nails
with which you would pierce the
hands and feet of American com
merce and let the life blood of
American prosperity.
f The boy orator would not put
"a crown of thorns upon the brow
of labor," but he is busy sowing
thorns and thistles for labor
naked feet.
FALLACIES CONCERNING RISE
AND FALL OF PRICES.
The silver mine owne owners
in advocating the free and un
limited coinage of silver at the
ratio of 16 to 1, claim that prices
of all commodities have sustain
ed an "unexampled and ruinous
fall," beginning with the year
1 Six. and that the cause of the
decline of such prices is wholly
due to the fact that in 1873 a law
was passed by the congress of the
United States which dropped the
coinage of the legal tender silver
dollar, of which up to that time,
had been coined, all told, about
eight millions of dollars, none
of which had ever gone into cir
culation as money in the ordinary
channels of trade. They further
claim that to resume the free
coinage of the silver dollar and
give it unlimited legal tender
qualities at the ratio of 16 to 1,
would cure all the ills of human
ity and cause the prices of com
modities to advance to the old
time high place, aud would also
advance the price of silver bul
lion to the coinage value at the
ratio of 16 to 1.
Careful consideration of this
matter, however, will convince
the most skeptical that the act
referred to had nothing whatever
to do with the rise and fall of
prices. The fundamental trouble
with the army of free silver ad
vocates, is that they take the year
1873 as tne tme from which every
thing is reckoned. 1 o them all
time prior to that is insignificant
and all prior history is efFaced and
held for naught
It is a fact, as abundantly shown
by statistics of prices, that the
decline in the price of commodi
ties for a period of 25 years from
1818 to 1843 was very similar
and nearly exactly the same as
since 1873, and that the year 1818
was not the beginning of a fall
in prices, but such prices had
been gradually falling for several
years prior thereto; so that com
pared with the period of 1873 the
iatter was not the beginning of a
fall in prices which we have wit
nessed since that time, but the
decline began about the-year 1865
at the close of the civil war. And
those prices, which had been in
flated by causes brought on by
the war, began to decline at the
close of the war when the causes
which made the rise ceased to
exist, and the ratio of supply and
demand became differently ad
justed. For like reasons those
prices have continued to decline
to the present day. The omis
sion to continue the coinage of
the silver dollar, which had never
been used in the trade or business
of the country, was not in , any
sense the cause of the declining
prices. .
Under the Bland act ot 1878
there were coined four hundred
and thirty millions of legal ten
der silver dollars - which are now
in circulation so far as the people
will have them, yet this immense
coinage of silver did not in any
particular check the fall in prices
nor assist the rise in the price 01
silver, but the decline in prices
continued the same as had been
the case since 1865.
The varying value of money as
related to goods, between 1789
and 1809, fell in the ratio of 100
to 54, or 46 per cent; that is, the
average price of commodities rose
enormously during those years.
From i8oq to 184Q the value of
money again rose in the extraor
dinary ratio of 100 to 240, or by
14.0 per ceut; that is, there was
an extraordinary fall in prices dur
ing that time, which, in extent,
greatly exceeds the tall in prices
since 187 7.. lhe tall in prices
prior to 1873, was during the time
that silver men are pleased to call
the bi-metahc period.
The long period of fifty-six
years from 1809 to 1865 was no
ted, first by a tremendious fall fol
lowed by a great rise in prices.
though the price of silver varied
but little during that time. Thus
it is never stated by the advo
cates of free silver that during
that long period when silver had
"free access to the mints" it cut
no figure in preventing the fall of
commodities or in preventing
their rise. It seemed then to have
none of the qualities now ascrib
ed to it.
That the act ot 1873 had any
thing to do with the decline of
prices is not borne out by the can
did facts. The fall commenced
in 1865. The war had the effect
of raising the price of every thing,
but when the war closed, the
causes which made possible the
greatly advanced prices were re
moved, and from that time down
to the present, prices have con
tinued to decline and silver had
nothing to do with their fall.
Prices were regulated by that un
yielding law of nature, the law
of supply and demand.
Governor Lord gives out as
the excuse for supporting Miller
that the opposition, favored Prof.
McElroy for president of the col
lege. This statement is untrue
and misleading. ' Mr. McElroy
was not a candidate, aud Messrs.
Apperson, Nash, Yates, Hillery,
Keady and Weatherford had not
the slightest intention of support
ing him. Besides, it looks rather
improbable that seven members of
the board should be afraid that
six would elect an especially ob
jectionable president and that in
order to defeat the supposed ef
forts of the six, it was necessary
to select au equally unsatisfactory
man. The governor makes him
self extremely ridiculous as well
as something worse in giving in
spiration to such a clumsy, trans
parent falsehood.
Why should the American peo
ple be slaves to a ratio, an artifi
cial, dishonest ratio? Our fore
fathers, fresh from the war for
independence, establishing a
mighty nation upon the rock of
truth and freedom, took the mar
ket ratio of the world as the ra
tio for coining gold aud silver.
Let us follow in their footsteps.
They were wise and patriotic
statesmen. Let us not introduce
the hot-house idea "into our mon
etary system.
Bryan would not use the gold
standard, because England uses
it, yet Mr. Bryan would flood our
market with English wares, drive
our own working men out of em
ployment, for the benefit of the
English laborer, and destroy the
home market of the American
farmer, that the English manu
facturer might prosper.

' Watson, Bryan's populist run
ning mate, is the, congressman
from Georgia who kept the 52nd
congress in uproar by his attacks
on Bryan, and the two men are
bitter enemies, and always have
been. Here is an extract from
one of Watson's speeches, where
he had a little fun at Bryan's ex
pense: "On the other hand, we
have our handsome and brilliant
friend . from Nebraska (Bryan),
who was put forward as the 'dar
ling' of the democratic side ot the
house, the prettiest man in all the
bunch, and his entire speech,
which ranged Tom Moore's poet
ry to Joe Miller's jest book, was
the sum and substance of the old
democratic position on the tariff I
that 'We will practice what is
wrong, while we know what is
right' " Portland Chronicle.
The populist convention at St.
Louis was no more harmonious
than was the Chicago convention.
The populists for gain want to fuse
with the democrats and endorse
Bryan, while the populists with
principles want to build a platform
and nominate a ticket of their own.
The strife between the two factions
is bitter indeed. Hillsboro Inde
pendent. '
Just thirty-two years passed af
ter the democratic split in 1860
before that party regained posses
sion of all branches of the govern
ment. Again there is an impress
ible conflict in the democracy and
again there is a smash up. How
long a quarter of a century, a
half of a century will the de
mocracy be under the ban tnis time?
Or will the democracy disappear
after this canvass as the federalist,
the national republican and the
whig parties did long ago? Oregon
Mist. ..
Jonathan Bourne has not yei
resigned as secretary of the repub
lican state central committee, nor
is he likely to, since a large ma
jority ot the republicans of the
state have confidence in his repub
licanism and ability to do efficient
work for the party. The howl
that the Oregonian and a few of
the i'old ringsters "are making
against Mr. Bourne are direct
thrusts at McKinley and Hobart
in this state, for should Mr. Bourne
be compelled to resign, the indig
nation among silver republicans
would lose the party several thous
and votes in the coming election
There can be no question about
this. But what cares the Orego
nian whether McKinley is elected.
That paper is anything but repub
lican, according to its own state
ments, and also according to its at
tempt to defeat a regular nominee
of the party at the June election.
Inert again it is a well known fact
that the Oregonian has at all times
at heart been in favor of free trade,
and at different times in its exis
tence lias openly advocated the
same. How, then, can it bo sin
cere in its support of the MoKin
ley ticket or the tariff plank hi the
platform? Indeed the republican
state central committee should pay
the reat daily something to open
ly oppose McKinley. It would
help them to carry this state. St.

For your Protection. Catarrh. "Cures" or
Tonics for Catarrh in liquid form to be taken
internally, usually contain either Mercury or
Iodide of Potassa, or both, which are injur
ious if too long taken. Catarrh is a.local, not
a blood disease, caused by sudden change to
cold or damp weather. , It starts in the nasal
passages, affecting eyes, ears and throat.
Cold in the head caus'ss excessive Sow of
mucus, and, if repeatedly neglected, the re
sults of catarrh will follow ; severe pain in
the head, a roaring sound in the ears, bad
breath, and oftentimes an. offensive dis
charge. The remedy should be quick to allay
