Corrected weekly by Corvallis Com mission Company. Since last week's report, there has not been much change. While oats are not moving very brisk, the prices are being well maintained; the new crop will av erage about 4 lbs. to the bushel short of '95 crop. The wheat market is strong without any perceptible advance in price. Old hens are in better demand, owing to the Jewish holidays ' in Port land and San Francisco, but young stock is very slow, especially the Portland market, which is completely glutted. Poultry Hens per dozen, $2 to $ 2.50; old roosters per dozen, $2; young roost ers, full grown, per dozen, $2 to $2.50; broilers, per dozen, $1.50 to $2.00; ducks, per dozen, $2 to 2.50; turkeys, alive, per lb, 6 cts to 7 cts; geese, per dozen, $4.00. frys, $1.25 to $1.75. Eggs Per dozen, 10 cts to 1 1 cts. Potatoes Per bushel, 60 cts. Oats Choice white, per bushel, 25 to 27 cts; gray, 23 to 25 cts. Wheat Per bushel, 44 cts. Cascara Bark $1.25 to f 1.50.

Judge Burnett's objection to the Gazette's criticism of his arti cle cannot be sustained. The judge says the following state ment he made ' 'the aggregate of all the money in the U. S. is the true measure of normal values of commodities here," was unfairly criticised lor tne ioilowing por tion was omitted: "The aggregate of all the money of nations trading inter nationally is the true measure of normal values of commodities consumed by them." The second proposition does not modify nor explain the first. It possibly contradicts the first and that is only what this paper did. However, both statements -re 1 essentially wrong. Were iither true, prices would continu tlly rise, for the amount of money is continually increasing. Again,. Judge Burnett calls our statement "that the law of 1878 was not a free silver law and has never been repealed" an "astounding error," and invites attention to the following section of the Sherman law of 1890: "Sec. 5. That so much of the act of Feb. 28, 1878, entitled, An act to authorize the coinage of. the standard silver dollar and to restore its legal tender charac ter as requires the monthly pur chase and coinage of not less than two million dollars, nor more than four million dollars worth of silver bullion, is hereby re reaied." Judge Burnett is an able law yer and certainly undetstands that the repeal of part, so much, of law does not repeal the law. The judge does not quote the section in question correctly. It "That so much of the Feb'y 28th, 1878, ires the monthly purchase nage of the same into sil- ars, of not less than $2,- nor more than $4,000, Ttn or silver bullion is repealed" and the same 1890 made compulsory the purchase of 4,500,000 ounces of silver per month, a large part of which was coined under the pro visions of the act of 1878. This purchasing clause was repealed in 1893. The law of 1878 has thus been amended, but never repealed. The silver dollars coined this Vvear and there were some coin- ""sere coined under the act of 1 That law is the only law re. on our statute books, fix Tfe weight and fineness of dollars and authorizing: coinage. Silver dollars are legal tender only by virtue that law. The statement of this paper, that "the law of 1878 nas never oeen repealed and is still in force," is correct, and it is Judge Burnett who makes the "astounding error." 1 1 r 1 IgNDON COMMENTS. -There is grave danger of Mc Kinley's election in the United States. His success means the relapse of English industries that have revived so wonderfully since America's Wilson bill went into effect. Our cunningly devised free silver scheme is about to fiz vie out "and it looks as if our man Macturers will have to send over knottier generous supply of funds Y the Bryan managers. London jfimes. I The partnership now existing 'etween the American mining Xdicate and the English factory uTbids fair to be dissolved, e mining men assured us that h a certain fund, they could into power in the United ,tes and that if we would assist they would see that En- hmen should not suffer . by more McKinleyism. We over the amount asked, and the mine owners' agent is demanding another heavy ibution, saying that Bryan's are on the wane as the n people are studying the j theory, and will not be ; :d. Our capitalists, ve about given up the less and may refuse L,ast week this paper sent letters to several Benton county farmers, asking them why they supported McKinley. Of the answers received, space permits the publication of but two this week. Editor Gazette: I 'will answer your inquiry briefly. I will vote for McKinley, because McKinley voted "for me. I am a farmer, and McKinley, when in congress, talked, worked and voted for the farmers. The products of our farms under the McKinley law were protected ; under that law favor able foreign markets were opened to us; under that law Amer ican factories thrived and furnished us a home market. That law furnished the government sufficient revenues and kept the treasury in a healthy condition. There was no fear then that the government might be unable to keep its greenbacks, treasury .notes and silver dollars at a parity. Bryan worked and voted against the farmers and cannot expect the farmers to vote for him. He voted for the Wilson bill and it was not radical enough for him. That law, by its inequitable operations, has closed American factories and opened those of England, thus lessening the home demand for the products of the farm. The striking down of the prin ciples of reciprocity has closed favorable foreign markets against us, and we caunot get living prices for our pro ducts. Free silver offers nothing to the farmers. It will not open to him any new markets; it will not stop the increasing com petition. If free silver coinage in the United States raises the price of the silver of the world 100 per cent, as is claim ed, it will be the farmers of America that will have to bear down on the lever. If silver under free coinage circulates at its present market value, and I am convinced it will, the far mers will suffer most seriously from the depreciated and dis honest coin. In either case, the prospect is not pleasing. Our constitution makers coined the metals at their ascer tained market value. Free coiners propose to have the gov ernment go into the business of attempting to artificially raise the market price of silver bullion for the alleged pur pose of coining it into dollars actually worth their face value. It is a piece of legislative favoritism that cannot be tolerated. The government owes nothing to either gold or silver. Far mers do not ask direct legislation to furnish a market for their products and will resent the audacious demands of the silver mine owners. I consider McKinley to be a man of wider experience and sounder judgment than Mr. Bryan and he will not indulge in dangerous legislative experiments at this critical time. John Buchanan.

Last week I sold directions to over 120 families; anyone will pay a dollar for directions, when they see the beautiful samples of fruit. As there are many people poor like myself, I consider it my duty to give my experience to such, and feel confident that anyone can make one or two hundred dollars round home in a few days.

Address "Orchard," care this paper. To the Editor of the GAZETTe: Dear Sir: You want to know why I, as a farmer, sup port Wm. McKinley. I will hereby set forth ".a few reasons why farmers should vote for protection and favor the gold standard. As two-thirds of our American fanners have mortgaged their farms, and as said mortgages have to be paid iu U. S. gold coin, how are we going to get it? Will not this silver craze (16 to 1 ) drive the gold out of circulation? Is it . not only the millionaire silver mine owners who are bene fitted by this silver craze? Have we, as farmers, got silver bullion to carry to the mints to be coined at public expense? We have got nothing to dispose of but our labor, our skill, and produce of our farms, and as a general rule, all the money we receive must be used in procuring commodities for the personal use of ourselves and those depending upon us. I've sold under the McKinley law, butter from 50 cents to 75 cents perroll, eggs 25 cents to 35 cents per dozen, and everything in proportion. How much can I get today? Was not the credit taken away from this broad laud of ours in 1893? Therefore, I say, let us vote for McKinley and sound money, that the last may stay in circulation, and the first soon move to the White House. Yours truly, Anton F. Luther.

That Wonderful Churn. 1 want to add my testimony to the Hut of those that have used the Lightning Churn. It does all that is claimed for it. you can churn easily in one minute, and get a large percentage more butter than with the common chums. I never took the agency for anything before, but so many of my neighbors wanted chums, that I ordered thirty and they are all gone. I think in a vear every farmer will have a Lightning Churn; in fact they can't afford to be without one as they make so much more butter, and a good little bit of modey can be made in eery town ship selling these churns. By writing to J. F. Casey & Co., St. Louis, Mo., you can get circulars aud full particulars about the chum. A Readkr. Who can think of tone simple thing to patent?

"We are sorry to have the little maid leave us, but hope she will have a good time, and return next June, happy and greatly improved in her studies. We are told that a Mr. Goose has pur chased a piece of railroad land in upper Al sea. While we are glad to hear of new comers, we regret very much this arrival, as the land is occupied by Mr. W. W. Gay, who has a wife and four small children, and no place to go. We wish Mr. Goose had flown further before folding hU wings. A friend of ours had occasion to pass group of men, while attending to some bus iness in one of our towns, and, stopping, found they were "boosting" the boy orator. One man with a large voice, asked, "Who are for Bryan," and everv man said, "I." "Where are the MeKinley men?" asked another, and a man in the crowd answered, "At work." So it is everywhere. The idlers talk for free silver, while hard money men are at work earning honest money for honest labor. The dance at Mr. Dick Zahn's was a van ety affair. It appears that Mr. Dick became quite sweet on one of the fair German dam sels and was her frequent partner. The lady became tired of his attentions and refused to dance with him longer, which enraged our gay bachelor and he ordered all the peo ple to leave the house instanter. Some of the boys tried to quiet him. bnt he only grew madder, and ran in to get his gun, but being prevented, returned with his arms full of beer bottles, and his mouth full of curses. When Greek meets Greek, then comes the tug of war, and when Dutch meets Dutch, down goes the sauer kraut and out comes the beer bottles. Old Innocencc.
