.COiVAUIS MARKET RBPORT.
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and has never been repealed" an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

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."

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.

I have berries, grapes and peaches a year
old, fresh as when-picked. I use the Call'
fornia Cold process, do not heat or seal the
fruit, just put it up cole, keeps perfectly
fresh, and costs almost nothing; can put up
a bushel in ten minutes. 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. I will mail sample of fruit and com
plete directions, to any of your readers, for

actual cost of the samples, postage, etc., to

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.

chased a piece of railroad land in upper Al
sea. While we are glad to hear of new

flown further before folding hU wings.
A friend of ours had occasion to pass
group of men, while attending to some bus

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.

scornfully of our alleged "English Ideas,"
and John is consistent. To insure himself
against English ideas, he refrains from pos
sessing any. John Henry is talking for
Bryan, taking unfair advantage of the boy's
being so far away. I have no interest in
John Henry's political views, except to in
sist, as a duty I owe my party, that he is in
no sense a republican. Isaac.
