" " so" THURSDAY, JAN. 24, 1895. PUBLISHERS' ANNOUNCEHENT In puling our boot for the year JS94 ice find there are a number of persons tn debtcd to us in small amounts which aggre gate several thousand dollars. Like al moil every body else, we are sadly in need of money with which to pay our indebted nest not for investment or speculation. Our creditors are in the same fix, and are erotcding us. Consequently we are com pelled to urge upon our friends the neces- sity of the payment of the small amounts due us. Therefore we will, at the earliest imsible moment render a statement of account, as appears from our boots Janu- rv 1, 1S94, to every person mdtMed to us Where there are so many small accounts it next to impossible to keep all of them cor rectly, hence when you receive n statement and thint it is incorrect, eren Y you hare paid it and tee failed to gire gou credit, don't "fly off the handle'' and get mad, but write kindly and tell us abont it if you can't write kindly, write any tray, for we want to hare our books correct. If you can't jxiy the whole amount of your bill, a portion of it will be thankfully receired, and if it is not conrenienl for you to pay any of it, let us know that fact also. We would be pleased to hare erery 'person re ceiving a statement of account to acknow ledge its receipt al their earliest conven ience. PLAIXDEALER PCB. CO. Economy is no idle word; it means business, and tbe members of the legislature should understand it so. The following bit of adtice from the San Francisco Call to the Cab foraia solons applies equally well to the Oregon legislators: ''Go fast on retrenchment and slow on appropna lions." Appearances now indicate tho de feat of Senator Dolph. His vote today is the same as that of yesterday, and it is donbtfnl if he can overcome the opposition. From the tone of Governor Lord's inaugural address, it may be taken B3 a settled fact that he will veto any and all extravagant appropriations that may be made by the legislature- The governor is in perfect accord with the people on all questions. Senator Beckley is now ont in his true colors, having voted for tbe dem ocratic nominee for United States senator. The senator's most intimate friends were always aware of the fact that he was a democrat, although many populists of the county seemed ts think otherwise. In a letter from Senator Hill, of Nev York, he declares that "Free coinage of silver 'as well as of gold mnst'be held ont as the goal which the country must ultimately reach." The letter was written before tho memorable extra session of 1893, to Clark Howell, editor of ihe Atlanta Constitution, who gives it publicity with the consent of Mr. HilL Our more or less esteemed cotem porary is mistaken when it says Mr. Chamberlain hired the Plaixdeaixb to abuse the editor of the Review. Mr. Chamberlain did not pay one cent for anything that has appeared in these columns regarding him. Furthermore the columns of the PmsDr.AT.rR are not for hire when it comes to abusing private individ uals. We have found Mr. Chamber lain to be an honerable man, and as such freely gave him the use of our columns to vindicate himself. It makes a vast difference with some people as to whose ox is gored. Because a number of the republican members of the legislature -have to biased to stand by tbe caucus nominee for United States senator, they are bitterly assailed by Dolph'a support ers and threatened with all manner of punishment While we believe that they should have voted for Dolph on the first ballot, yet at the same time we are of the opinion that they have a perfect right to vote as their consciences dictate. And we further believe that after a member has voted for the caucus nominee on the first ballot be has done all that party rules require of him, and it is then his duty to do his utmost to se cure the election of the man whom he considers best suited for the posi tion, be it Dolph or any other indi vidual. Why insurance companies doing business in Oregon should not be taxed is not exactly clear. The argu ment is pat forth that a tax upon them means an increased rate of in surance. We don't believe any such stuff. Tho sai.io argument was used two years since in regard to the "valued policy law." Immediately after the passage of that law the in surance companies mado a raise of 10 per cent on tbe rate, but in a few months tho raise was rescinded and agents wero instructed to retarn the additional 10 per cent collected. And we firmly believe tho same re sult would follow Hhonld a law be passed taxing the insurance compan ies. Dnriog the past five years the citiznns of Ro3ebnrg paid out prob ably $25,000 for insurance, while tho loss by fire has been less than $5,000. This is probably a fair average of tbe insurance business of the state, and that the companies should entirely escape taxation does not seem exactly fair or just. A BRIGHT (t) EDITOR. Tho most peculiar thmt; about this altogether remnrkablo senatorial squabble is that Fnlton now declares that no is not a believer in free coin age. Review, Jan. 21. The editor of tho Review is oithor surprisingly ignoiuut of tho facts in tho case, or olso willfully mistepro- 8entB Mr. Fulton, Iu Friday's Oro gonian Mr. Fulton is quoted as fol lows: "It has noon iusinnatod by numer ous papers, published in tho state, ana o von asserted by some, that my position on the financial qnoslion was not sincere. It was stated that I purposely caused io bo published views indicating that 1 tavorod tho freo coinage of silver, for tho pur pose only of forwarding my personal interests in tho senatorial contests. I have not felt at liberty, heretofore. to say anything in refutation of theso charges, because, 60 long as tho con test was pendinjr, any statement from motwould have been construed simply as a bid for support. But now that the fiRht is over. I desire to say that 1 nave been grossly misrepresented in this matter. Ou several occasions during the campaign in May, 1S94, I publicly stated that so far as 1 was personally concerned I favored tho free coinage of silver. This fact can bo substantiated by numerous per sons. That tho free coinage of silvei will result in tho greatest good to tho people of this country, 1 am con vinced, and I wish to say at this timo that in the interview published, wherein I was quoted as an advocate of freo coinage of silver, that state ment was not made with any idea whatever of influencing support for political preferment. Mr. Fulton states clearly and dis tinctly that he favors tho free coinage of silver, and is convinced tLat it will result in tho greatest good to tho peo ple of this country. Whether or not the Review will seo fit to place Mr. Fulton in a correct light remains to bo seen. Lego to the Front Again. To the Editok: Lego is pleased that he has attracted tho attention of two of the readers of Uie Plaixdealkk, who have paid their rvspects to his article in regard to what he deemed honest money. That artido which appeared in the issue of January Hth wa3 written uninfluenced by the principles or declarations of any man or any party, but merely to show what he deemed honest money in its cir culation among the people. Your cor respondent "HV'says he does not in tend to take issco with Lego, but only to present a few facts. One of those facts is that he agrees with Lego that gold is honest money, but with reference to other kinds of money ho takes excep tions to the "if" as applied to what our government might or could do with ref erence to making silver equally as honest money as gold. "H." admits that he favors silver as money, and at the same time tacitly concedes that through the sovereignty of the national government, silver conld be plaotf on a. parity with gold, possessing all the functions and attributes of that metal. "H." speaks of checks being used by business men in their commercial transactions, showing thereby "that honest names are jnst as good as honest money." I admit that nones names attached to paper or checks, when the name of the attachee is backed by properties and wealth, will pass current in all business transactions, but if that honest name is not so backed I think that "H." would decline to ac cept it in aymeut of a debt doe him. So will alo the notes of an honeit gov ernment, with the properties of the whole nation back of it, be the most ac ceptable kind of money it can issue. Xow, a few woTds In answer to your other correspondent, "Honest iluney." He qnotes one statement of mine where in I say that diver and paper would be honest money under certain conditions, and he virtually admits by playing upon the word would that those conditions being complied with, silver and paper would stand at par with gold, and be freely interchangeable one with tbe other. "Honest Money" speaks of the first issue of greenbacks and their depre ciation. He knows or shonld know that greenbacks when issced were not a fnll legal tender; had they been there would have been no depreciation. The excep tional clause in the law authorizing the issue of greenback! is what gave bankers and speculators an opportunity to carry ont their schemes of bringing tho notes issued into disrepute, and upon that dis repate, 11 their coffers with gold by forcing the government to issue bonds, with which bonds they are drawing prin cipal and interest in gold, thus causing distress in all our productive industries. "Honest Money" concedes the point at issue when he says, every thing that performs in business transactions the functions of money, and readily passes from one person to another for any of tbe commodities for the use of man, is money. The points in that declaration I have never disputed, but the main point in my former article your correspond ents seemed to havo misconstrued, 'and that point was, that the government by congreEsional enactment can restore eilver to the position it held for three fourthB of a century, that of being the equal with gold, and at times receiving a premium on gold. Let Eilver as well as gjld be made a legal tender for all debts public and pri vate; let our mints bo placed in a condi tion to coin all bullion freo of charge to the owner; let the doable standard be come a basis upon which all our banks circulation shall bo established; let bullion, as such, be prohibited from ex portation, and when wo pay foreign bondholders in the coin we contracted to pay them when tho bonds were issued, Europe will be as anxious to adopt tho double standard for their interest as they now are for the gold standard for tho fcame object. Tho world requires and must have our silver, and jastice to our selves requires that wo should demand and receivo its value. Fortunately for America, both cold and silver are amonc our most valuable productions, and self interest docs not prompt us to rnako either tho sole medium of exchange vaiuep. Silver being demonetized, it doubles the value of cold, or, in other words, de preciates tho value of property one-half and gives power to tho posessor of gold to purchaso twice as much labor as tho owner could previously have procured for the same'gold. Every debtor would be compelled to pay twice as much as he expected to pay when tho debt was in curred. The means upon which hn relied to pay that indebtedness would bo decreased in tbe same 'ratio as his debt was increased. Iteadcr, contemplate tho situation today. ;Lvno. Riddle Items.
