MISQUOTATION.
Free silver's cause cannot be
advanced by dishonestly misquo
ting dead patriots. , People may
justly argue that a true principle
does not need to establish itself
through falsehood. But the free
silver press manufacture speeches
and ascribe their authorship to
departed statesmen. James G.
Blaine has been misquoted as fa
voring independent free and un
limited coinage at 16 to 1. The
guilty papers publish remodeled
portions of his address and leave
out the essence of it. Mr. Blaine
in the speech in question held
that:
"To remonetize silver now,
r though essential conditions had
not changed, is willfully and
Mindlv to deceive ourselves. If
our demonetization were the only
cause for the decline in the value
of silver then remonetizatiou
would be its proper and effectual
cure. But other causes, be5rond
our control, have been tar more
potentially operative than the
simple fact that congress prohib
its its further coinage. As legis
lators we are bound to take cog
nizance of these causes." Again
Mr. Blaine said: "It we coin a
silver dollar of full legal tender
below the current value of the
gold dollar, we are simply open
ing oiir doors and inviting Eu
rope to take our gold. With our
gold flowing out from us we shall
be forced to the single silver
standard, and our relations with
the leading commercial countries
of the world would be not only
embarrassed but crippled. What
gain should we make, therefore,
lor tne circulating medium 11 on
opening the gate for the silver to
flow in, we open a still wider gate !
for gold to flow out ? It is, there
fore, clear that until Europe re
monetizes silver, we cannot afford
to coin a dollar as low as 412 4
grains."
Thos. Jefferson, the founder
and patron saint of democracy,
is another American statesman
"- whose -words' have been garbled
to fit the advocacy of the present
free silver idea. The following
from his pen proves that the ele
ment of the democratic party
which will hold its convention at
Indianapolis, and not the Chica
go crowd, are the true followers
of Jefferson :
"Vve are in tavor 01 tne coin
age and currency of silver and
gold in our monetary system
The proportion between the
values of gold and silver is a mer
cantile problem altogether. The
proportions established by law
have varied in different ages and
in different countries. Just prin
ciples will lead us to disregard
legal proportions altogether, to
enquire into the market price of
gold in the several countries with
which we shall principally "be con
nected in commerce, and to take
an average from them. A com
mission should therefore be ap
pointed to enquire what are the
proportions between the values
of fine gold and fine silver in the
markets of the several countries
with which we are, or probably
may be, connected in commerce,
and what would be a proper pro
portion here, having regard to the
average of their values in those
markets, and to other circum
stances, and the coinage of gold
and silver at our mints should be
at the ratio thus determined."
REMEDY VS, DISEASE.
. Gold and silver money, how
ever satisfactory as a standard of
value, seem to have failed as a
medium of exchange. " The pre
sent agitation tor more money
does not arise from any fanciful
ailment. Our people, ;and espe
cially the rural proportion, are
hampered because of a lack of
means of exchange. This com-
- mercial disease is a gruesome
xeality and there is a demand for
a remedy from our statesmen
whose business it is to prescribe
for political ills.
The people demand money as a
means not as an end, and do
not care what form it takes, so
it answers the purpose. They
jksire a system of exchange that
can be depended upon And that
' will not exact too heavy a toll.
It must be sound and equitable.
The majority of believers in free
: coinage of silver do not advocate
it because they have any especial
affection for the white tutta;, but
because its free and unlimifed
coinage has been urged upon
them as furnishing the required
means of exchange, Like a man
with the toothache, they are dis
posed to test anything that prom
ises relief even if it smacks of
quackery.' .
Free silver advocates promise
that their plan will cure this de
ficiency of circulating medium.
It is the one and sole remedy
proposed by Mr. Bryan. If we
deem it inadequate we must
shelve the boy orator and look to
abler physicians. It is not a mat
ter of personality. Our disease
is not a mental affliction that can
be cured by hypnotism. Magna-
tism and rhetoric will not sumce.
We require scientific and philo
sophical certainty.
Let us look at the arguments
of the free silver advocates and
waive aside all the evil phrophe
cies of their opponents. What
can free silver accomplish ? We
have at present in the United
States $600,000,000 of gold and
$600,000,000 of silver coin.
Double this amount and place it
all in the hands of the farmers;
it would still be insufficient for
them to harvest and store their
crops on a strictly cash basis.
Free silver apostles do not claim
that under free eoinage the Uni
ted States would coin more than
$50,000,000 a year in silver, or
about 70 cents per capita. At
this rate, under the most favor
able conditions, we will have to
wait at least 25 years before the
remedy begins to operate sensi
blv. What must we endure in
the meantime? Senator Squire
in declaring his new allegiance
to democracy, stated that a panic
must necessarily ensue when our
government goes to free coinage.
Bryan hinself says "the tempor
ary effect of free coinage would
be a business crash." The aver
age debtor as he scans his increas
ing debt account and his decreas
ing income, will seriously doubt
that this is a proper time to en
joy the luxury of another panic.
On the face of it, the free coin
age of silver is but a miserable
pretence of a remedy. It means
at best but a derangement of our
present system. Its advocates can
promise us no relief, while its op
ponents threaten every possible
disaster if free coinage of silver
is adopted. It is a patent nos
tram heralded with brass bands
and long-haired orators. Our fi
nancial disease is too serious and
complicated to be entrusted to
loud-talking fakirs. Let us put
the case in the hands of skillful
and experienced physicians.
Mr. Bryan as the advocate of
an inadequate remedy must be
discarded. He has no standing
except such as his advocacy of
free silver gives him. He has
earned no reputation as a student
of economic questions. He is an
orator who captures his audience
by his personality and theatnca.
effects. He can eloquently por
tray the existence of the disease,
but is not the man to prescribe
the remedy.
Deputy Hire Again.
Tha question of deputy hire
came up again for consideration at
the last session of the county court
and the action the court took in
the premises last week is meeting
with favorable mention among the
taxpayers. This matter was laid
over from the July meeting, and
among some of the officials it was
thought that the commissioners
might abolish entirely the payment
of deputy hire, reihaps such ac
tion might have been taken, but a
communication from Mr. Watters,
the county clerk, evidently im
pressed the court with the idea
that it would be necessary to pro
vide some additional assistance,
and after rejecting Mr. Watters'
proposition, they made an order
providing for the payment of two
deputies for the sheriff during
terms of the circuit court and for
one deputy for the clerk during
sessions of the commissioners and
circuit courts, lie is also to be
allowed pay for one deputy in mak
ing up the taxrolls. Mr. Watters'
proposition to the court was a tal
lows: To the Honorable County Court
of Benton County. State of Ore
gon: GENXLEMes: Believing that a
reduction of official salaries will,
and should, occur at the next ses
sion of our state legislature, aud
iu order to equalize the matter o.
the salary of the county clerk ol
Benion county until that time, I
respectfully submit to you for your
consideration the following, towit:
That from and after this date and
until January l&t, 1S97, 1 will agree
to run the said clerk' office for the
salary as allowed by law, except in i
cases of emergency, such as during
ilie terms of the circuit court and
of the county court during trial
cases and in copying tne tax rolls.

Virgil E. Watters,
. - County Clerk.
Dated Corvallis, Or., Aug. 5, 9G.
To Mr. Watters' ctedit, be it said,
he is quite well satisfied with the
court's action and believes that
1 t 1
unless some uniooKea tor emer
gency arises he will be able to car
ry on the work promptly and satis
factorily with the assistance of Jus
deputy, Mr. "J. H Skipton. whom
Mr. Watters is paying out of his
own salary.
Mr, Rickard, however, does not
appear to be at all satisfied with
the new arrangements. Mr. Kick
ard probably believes tnat a pub
lie office is a private snap, or other
. u ' - .1
wise ne wouiu acquiesce in me
arrangement made by the court
xt lea6t until some emergency
arises, it is wen Known mat at
present there is little business in
the sheriffs office. Aside from
the occasional taxpayer who drops
iu to settle his delinquent taxes,
the business callers at the sheriff's
office are few and far between. Of
late years and especially durum
the past few months litigation has
decreased very materially, so that
there is very little outside work td
11. r-i r T -1
be attended to. oince air. .kick
ard was inducted into office, live
weeks ago, he has had the papers
in only four attachment suits to
serve. Iu serving the papers in
these cases it has been necessary
to make one trip to the vicinity of
Monroe, one out some distance this
side of Marys peak, one about half
way to Philomath and another to
Job's addition. Approximately
the total distance traveled oil ofa
cial business during Mr. Rickard's
incumbency has not exceeded 80
miles. Notwithstanding the facts
in the case the Times would have
it appear that Mr. Rickard is going
day aud night, and besides has
three or four deputies doing 200
miles of official traveling per day.
when there has not been even 100
miles ot orhcial traveling done in
the county since Mr. Rickard as
sumed the duties of his office.
The Times of Saturday says:
''During the first 21 days that he
was in the office, for instance, Mr.
Rickard road six full days in., the
country serving papers, and during
these days of course, and during
the term of his predecessor there
were dsys when as high as four de
puties were riding with papers, as
high as 200 miles of official travel
ing having been done in a single
In the discussion of this ques
tion th re is no use in ' being dis
honest. During the campaign the
Times gave the public to under
stand that the election of Mr. Rick
ard meant a saving to the taxpay
ers. The public does toot expect
officials to serve the county gratui
tously, but, on the contrairy, ex
pects to pay a reasonable price for
the service performed. At present
there is-not sufficient work in the
sheriffs office to keeb one person
busy, and but, for , an occasional
trip to the country on official busi
ness, a deputy would be altogether
unnecessary. The idea that the
county should employ a deputy at
$5o per month under present con
ditions is asking too muc 1, and the
taxpayers will commend the action
of the court in their efforts to cur
tail expenses. V
County Court Proceedings.
The county court at its August
meeting took a step along t he line
of economy, which is meeting with
hearty approval among the tax
payers. The matter of deputy
hire came up at the July meeting,
but action in the premises was
postponed for a month. By the
order of the court the regular, al
lowance, for deputy hirw in tie
clerk's and sheriff's offices has been
abolished and hereafter the clerk
will be allowed pay lor one deputy
at $2 per day during sessions of
the commmissioners and circuit
courts, and also pay at tbe same
rate for deputy help required in
making up tbe tax and delinquent
roll; and the sheriff will be allowed
pay tor two deputies at ?2.ou per
day while the jury is in attendance
upon the circuit court.
In the matter of the Maude road
the clerk was ordered to draw a
warrant in favor ol E. Maude lor
$100, to reeniburse him tor the
amount deposited with the court
pending an appeal to the circuit
court in the matter of damages

A FEW MINOR NOTES
Caught from a General
Ceaseless Chorus.
and
The Eugene Guard considers it
dispicable to speak ofa young man
as being nice.
There is a Chinaman in Corval
lis who lives by his wits. He is a
veritable humbug, but possesses
that peculiarly audacious effrontry
that wius the good nature ot the
gentler eex, and this peculiar
oriental fraud is kindly treated by I
Corvallis women who are brought '
under the spell of h!s Falsi affiaiij
humor. I
The other day he called upon a
well-known and generous Corvallis
lady and after repeated compli
ments upon her home, her work
aud her family, requested soma
milk. When asking a favor he
calls the ladies ur.a." "Now, ma,"
he argued, "you are so good and I
am 60 thirsty, ma, please ma, let
me have some milk." "Bet you
haven't anything to carry it in,"
i replied the lady. "Oh ma ! you are
', so good; you will give me a bucket
; won't you ma V The bucket was
forthcoming and he followed the
lady into the pantry where sh be
gan to skim the milk. This didn't
suit h'm. "Oh ma now ma skim
milk no good. You are so kind ma;
you won't give me white water,
will you ma?7' He was informed
that such were her intentions.
Then he became sarcastic. -How
many times you skim him, ma;
you skim him two limes, three
times, ma Wnfch out, ma ! there's
a speck of cream you didn't get."
And the old humbug walked off
with his liquid supper.
Corvallis has many visitors dur
ing the summer. We like visitors
and wish them to remember our
town, and nothing fixes itself so
firmly on the human mind as mis
fortune, hence we try to cripple L
our visitors and thus induce them
to ever remember our existence.
We catch them on the sidewalk?.
The average Corvallis walk is a
man trap, Projecting nails, loose
boards, rotten underpinning we
see them everywhere. Some peo
ple complain; the sillies. If they
don't like the walks, take the
streets. They mav b9 dusty, but
j they're safe. Those sidewalks
were good enough for our foratath
ers. The presejit ireneration is al
together too high and mighty. We

The New Hook Spoon Free to A1L
I read in the Christian Standard that Mim A. It'
Fritz. Station A., St. Louis, Mo., would give an to- -ant
plated hook spoon to anyone sending; her teO-j
2-cetit stamps. 1 sent for one and found it so useful i
that I showed it to my friends, and made tlS.SO in t
two hours, taking orders for the spoon. The how .
spoon is a household necessity. It cannot slq tatov
the dish or cooking vesael, helns; held in fc0 pause
:- a hook oil the back. The spoon it something tha
housekeepers have needed ever since spoon were -first
invented. Anyone can get a ssnonle spoon fcy
sending; ten 2-cent stamps to Miss Fntt. ThI is a.
splendid way to make money around home.
Very truly, jEAHXmrB 8.
