FOE ELEMENTARY POLITICIANS
: JToe effort is made in this article to
adopt a style neither too difficult for a
populist to understand nor yet too sim
ple for the more advanced democrat. In
the first place the beginner must under
stand that the government does not sup
Dort the people, but that the 'people sup-
mnrt the government. The article will
further explain what money is made of,
who makes it, who owns it, etc.; etc.
The lesson is suitable for all populists
and the less advanced democrats.
Silver is a product, and an article in
the market worth just its market value
and no more the same as wheat or beef
or potatoes, and in no way different,
viewed from a commercial standpoint
Those who want unlimited free coinage
of silver, and who do not own a silver
mine, are not well informed as to what
thev need. In the first place they ask
to have 72 "cents worth of silver made
into a legal tender dollar, and in the sec
ond place they want it made for nothing;
.'.. they want the government to con
tribute to them the seigniorage, which
mcsna the toll for making. This is the
same as if a man would carry a bushel
of wheat to mill and say to the miller
"This bushel of wheat is mine ; I raised
it and harvested it and threshed it, and
brought it to mill ; this wheat is worth
72 cents ; I want you to grind and bolt it
Into flour worth $1 and please don't take
any toll out of it." This miller would
be apt to say, "Mr. Populist, why do
you ask this? Do you think that it cost
me no time or money to build this mill?"
"Perhaps it did. but that is not the
question ; I am in favor of free millage
I want my wheat ground, and I want all
the flour that it makes. 'Down with the
baron miller and up with the laborer,'
is my motto."
Yes, silver is a' product; it is also
precious metal and can be coined into
money. It has been called the dollar of
our daddies, and we . are still in favor of
it being, daddy's dollar, and mammy's
dollar, and the children's dollar ; but we
want it to be worth a hundred cents
whosoever'a dollar it is. We want to
make ten silver dollars worth as much
'as a golden eagle, and make any number
of them a legal tender. We want money
in the hands of a washerwoman to be
worth as much as it is in the hands of a
Rockefeller. We want the laborer that
toils ten hours for a dollar and goes home
and throws it into his wife's lap to have
it ring, "I am peer to any dollar that is
on this earth, and worth a hundred
cents, and cannot be demonetized." We
want a dollar that can walk up and
down Wall street without being afraid
to meet another dollar. In other words,
' we want a parity of value between the
gold dollar and the Bilver dollar.
The populist and first reader democrat
thinks that the government makes mon
ey. This is an error. The government
cannot make money any more than a
. erist'mill can make wheat. . Then how
does the government get its money? It
gets it from duties, specific and ad valor
em, on imports (see Bay's arithmetic, part
third) and from internal revenue taxes
and from toll for coining money, it also
derives money from the postoffices and
from the disposal of public lands, but
the government cannot create money
;., -' What is a greenback if it is not money ?
A greenback is a note payable on de
xnand. It has no intrinsic, value. It is
a kind of a flsht draft and is called
paper money by some, but it is not
money. There is no money - but
metallic money, and that metallic
money belongs t-j the person who owns
- the metal that it is made of, not neces
earily the man who dug it out of the
ground ; it may have been sold to other
parties, -
One of the grievances complained of
in the Declaration of Independence
against the mother country was that
George III. would not hear the petitions
of his subjects in America. Wonder if
the Wilson bill democrats ever read that
document. If thev have they must be
George-the-Thirding it.
WASHINGTON LETTER.
From our Regular Correspondent
Washington, Feb. 23, 1894.
Republican senators are now begin
ning to regard the defeat of the Cleve
land tariff bill as possible, if not very
probable. The objecting democratic
senators, notwithstanding Mr, Clove
land's attempt this week to silence
t,hem, who will oppose the bill, unless
given what. ..they demand, have grown
numerous enough to have succeeded in
banging up the. bill in the sub-com
mittee. No democratic senator will now
predict when the bill will be reported to
the finance committee. The reason is
plain. They do not dare to get the bill
before the senate in the condition, in
which Mr. Cleveland and the cuckoo
senators wish it to be passed ; so it is
being held back while fresh attempts
are being made to harmonize , the con
flicting interests represented by object
ing democratic senators.
SOME SHEEP STATISTICS.
Figures Giving the Depreciation
Sheep and Wool In tbe X.ast leap.
of
. Thk Dalles, Or., Feb. 27, 1894. ,
Editor Chronicle, The Dalles, Or..
Dear Sib : I beg leave, through your
valuable paper, to offer some facts and
figures for the benefit of .. all, but more
especially our democratic sheep men of
Eastern Oregon. According to the latest
statistics received from the department
of agriculture at Washington, which has
been corrected Up to Jan. 1, 1894 :
Number of sheep In U. 8..v.....t ...i. 45,048,017

NO CHANCE TO BE PIOUS.
A Mole-Drivinc Mountaineer's Reason for
Never Attemlln Church.
Already propositions have been made
to the republicans to vote with the ob
jecting democrats to have the bill re
committed, should it be reported to the
senate in anything like the condition in
which it passed the house, but republi
can senators are not making any prom
ises at this stage of the game. They
only need five votes, even granting that
all the populists support the bill, to de
feat it outright, and if there is. any
chance to defeat the -bill they do not
propose to throw it away for the tern
porary triumph of having the bill re
committed. The feeling between the
free trade democratic senators and those
who want protection for the industries
of their own states daily grows more
bitter, and Mr. Cleveland by putting his
oar in stands a good . chance lose
several of the staunchest supporters he
has had in the senate.
Difference in value of sheep Jan 1,
93 ana 94 . o
This is the increased value we were
promised by democratic '.speakers and
newspapers before the election of Mr.
Cleveland and the democratic party.
Let us examine the facts and figures as I
pertaining to our own state : The sheep
and wool raisers of Oregon have lost, by
depreciation in value, within the last
year according to statistics above nien-
tioped, in regard to pumber and value of
sheep in this state, Jan. 1, 1894, the fol-
lowing amounts :

. William Ewart Gladstone has occu
pied a niche of his own in English poll'
tics for more than a generation. He
has always been the plain, matter-of-
fact commoner, scorning all pretensions
to title and desiring no other appella
tion than Mr. Though he has failed to
attain the labor of- his life, the cause of
home rule, he has refined and purified
the politics of England more than was
possible for any other man of contem
poraneous times, and as premier of Eng
land has compelled a deference which
could not be commanded by any other
personage. The grand old man, now
that he retires from a long and useful
Tnhlic career, will probably rust out
much in the same manner as that kind
hearted old Frenchman Ferdinand' de
Lesaepa, whose mind and physique has
worn out simultaneously.
Haworth, printer, 116 Court St. tf
The republicans are jubilant over the
unprecedented majority Pennsylvania
eave ,Hon. Galusha A. Grow and the
democrats are damning Mr. Cleveland
because he compelled them to put up a
candidate and expose the weakness of
the party on the tariff question, which
was the sole issue of the campaign.
Speaking of the result, ex-Speaker Reed
said: "When we get at these fellows
next November, there won't be separate
burials r they will be buried in trenches
Representative Burrows, of Michigan,
says: "The result is simply indicative
of the wrath to come. It is the fore
runner of an overwhelming victory this
fall throughout the country, to be fol
lowed by the complete triumph of the
republican party in 1896."
Mr. Cleveland undoubtedly lost pres
tige in congress by the rejection of Peck-
ham, although it resulted in the supreme
court getting a much better man, in the
person of Senator White of Louisiana
than either Peckham or Hornblower,
Hill stock has gone up about 100 per
cent with democrats in congress. " "
The republican members Of the senate
committee in foreign affairs have signed
the report on the Hawaiian investiga
tion written by Senator Morgan, but the
other democrats declined, to do so, and
will submit. b minority report.
The senate in ordering an investiga
tion of tbe circumstances connected
with the change of ' contractors for the
publication of the Patent Office Gazette
have frightened more people than those
connected with this particular contract,
and if the committee can succeed in get
ting at the bottom, of this business a
startling case of favoritism, if nothing
worse, will certainly be exposed. It is
charged that Mr. . Josiah Quincey, who
was made assistant secretary of state
for the sole purpose of dismissing re
publican consuls and appointing demo
crats in their places and who succeeded
in demoralizing tbe .consular service to
an extent that was not deemed possible
before he was compelled to resign be
cause of a disagreement with Secretary
Gresham, is charged with having ma
nipulated this contract and with having
a money interest therein.
The administration, through Attorney
General Olney, struck the silver men in
the house, who have been trying for
more than two weeks to get a quorum
to pass Mr. Bland's bill for the coinage
of the seigniorage in the treasury and
the issuing of silver certificates against
it. as fast as coined, a blow below the
belt by making pubbc an opinion said
to have been given by tbe attorney gen
eral at the request of Secretary Carlisle.
Tbe opinion says that silver certificates
are not lawful. While the opinion of
the attorney general will not be accepted
as law by anybody it will cast a doubt
upon the silver certificates that will be
calculated to injure silver, and that is
what the silver men are charging that
the opinion was intended to do. The
senate has adopted a resolution calling
for an official statement of facts con
cerning the opinion from the attorney
general. Cas.

Total diff. in value sheep and wool $5,440,739.50
This represents the loss in value to
the state of Oregon, in . this industry
alone, as everyone is aware who has any
knowledge of the sheep business, that
the money received from the sale of sheep
and wool is not ' to sent out other conn-
tries, but is kept at home and put into
circulation among our own people
There are several sheep men, with
whom I am well acquainted, voted the
democratic ticket ; they offered to wager
any reasonable sum that within twelve
months after eloction, "if Mr. Cleveland
was elected both sheep and wool would
advance in price and times would be
better than ever before in Eastern Ore
gon." Mr. Cleveland was elected, and
the democratic party successful in ob
taining control of -the government.
More than twelve months have rolled
around. Now, how about the advance
in tbe price .of sheep and wool, and where
does the increased prosperity and better
times exist? This can be answered by
anv one, from tne numpie sneepneraer,
who pursues bis lonely and solitary life
in the mountains and on the deserts of
Eastern ' Oregon, to the shrewdest and
most intelligent capitalist or bank presi
dent in our richest cities. They can all
answer truthfully that it does not exist
at all. Tbe herder or laborer can an
swer intelligently from experience of his
present condition of lower wages and
that of being poorer fed and cared for,
The capitalist can answer with . good
reason, that under the present rondi
tions of democratic rule and policy, it is
unwise and ' unsafe to put his money
anywhere except in tbe vaults of the
banks, and not always safe there, would
submit to the loss of interest rather than
risk losing the principal. It seems to
me that the voters of Oregon with their
present sad experience and severe
lessons now being taught them would
vote to send to congress such a man as
Mr. Ellis and others whom they know,
The circuit rider in the West Virginia
mountains one day" overtook a moun
taineer driving a pair of mules along
the road and engaged him in conversa
tion, cs vras his wont, says the Detroit

man, "but I am the preacher on this

"I don t think I saw you at church

".o, sir; but I usually aim to get
thar. Had a spell uv sickness last week
an' was laid up." .
I am glad to hear you are a church
goer and I hope you are a member."
'Well, mister," and the native s face
showed eome regret, "I hain't trot so f er

do is to go to meetin' and take chances
on the balance." s
'But why don't you - become a mem

"What do you "3o?" ; ' '

his team went into a clauu hole, and
before he got on to hard . ground again
the preacher was convinced that the na
tive was more than half right.
HOW STREET URCHINS GAMBLE.
M York Weekly
Tribune
-AND-
Their Mysterious Game or'Crap" Briefly
Described.
Shooting craps" is the way.in which
newsboys, bootblacks and street ur
chins gamble with their small earn
ings. The police break up these games
when they see them, but in quiet cor
ners the urchins enjoy, their sport un
disturbed. The game is a curious one,
and few people know exactly how it is
managed. Among negroes it is a spe
cial favorite, but few others but street
gamins play it.
The only paraphernalia required,
says the New York Journal, are two or-
dnary dice, which are shot or thrown
from the hands of the players, instead
of Irom dice-cups. The stakes are pen
nies.. The player throws two dice, and
the total of their faces is counted. If
2, 8 or 12 turns up, he loses a cent to
his opponent. If 7 or . 11 he wins one
from the other. In either contingency
he continues to . shoot until the dice
register one of the other six numbers.
When one of these turns up, that is
called his'"point," and he continues to
throw for a repetition ol that count.
If it comes he wins another cent, and
starts fresh, as before. - Though lucky
bef ore.af ter the "point" has been decid
ed the number 7 becomes unlucky, and
when it . is thrown the player "craps
out." He loses a cent, and the dice
are passed to his opponent. -The other
scoring figures, a, ,-.n ana 12, ao not
count when throwing to duplicate a
"point."
Sometimes a lucky shooter will keep
the dice for some time. When the
'point" is decided his opponent is to
be seen in the favorite and typical at
titude of "crap" players. Bent over
the dice, he will be seen snapping his
fingers vigorously, and anxiously cry
ing: "Come a seven! come a seven!"
which he firmly believes will force his
opponent to "crap out." , -
