THE SILVER CRAZE WAXES.
There U a prospect that the silver
question will, before the end of next
month, have declined to a secondary
placed and that it will cease before
election day to be discussed as a mat
ter of business, because it is artificial
and fraudulent. The real matter of
moment before the American people
is whether they will, upon that which
is essentially European suggestion,
-role to overthrow their republican
form of government, and do it upon
pretenses ridiculously false. The
platforms of the Democratic and
3opulist parties are revolutionary.
We are encountering an outburst cf
political plague. Either our Revo
lutionary fathers were greatly want
ing in wisdom when they made the
constitution of the United States or
these revolutionists have mistaken
their line of public usefulness.
As the silver question is before us
it will not bear the hammer, the
rock-crusher, the fire test and the
chemistry that in the smelting work,
ur;u uic vie to iitu jiciu oucuui
of precious metal. The silver indus
try is. One of importance, and its his
tory shows vicissitudes. The market
value of the metal has declined
largely within a few years for the
same reason that wheat has done the
same thing.
In this connection 51 u rat Ilalstead
has made several simple statements of
fact and among them are the follow
ing: The silver propagandists' cry that
there Was a great crime committed
in 1873 by the demonetization of
silver is a false charge. There was
zio dark design, no deep secret, no
wrong done, no human creature in
Jared. In fact, nothing happened
with which the American people were
siot as familiar as their intelligence
and information permitted.
This was the ideal time to make
any coinage regulations required by
considerations of uniformity or con
venience ; for we do not affect busi
ness at all by changes. The regula
tion so much referred to as the Cen
tennial crime was an omission to or-
fler the coinage of silver dollars. We
s . . .
oaa oeconie unaccustomed oetore
specie suspension to their use ; and
we had tried an experimental trade
dollar as a supposed bid for Asiatic
commerce, and it was a failure.
Jefferson had stopped the coinage
of the silver dollar in 1806 because
it was exported as fast as minted,
and he did not want money, spent
with no return in running the mints
to furnish Europeans bullion m the
shape Of our dollars. The trouble
with the dollars was that to avoid
the trouble Jefferson found we over
valued silver, making our ratio of
gold 16 to 1, Instead of that of the
French, 15 to 1. -
There was no news in the world in
1873 to show that silver was about
to depreciate, and our coinage reaiu
lation omitting the white dollar had
no more to do with the decline of the
white metal than the late eclipse of
the sun, visible only on the globe in
Northern Asia. 7 '
- as tne case stands there is no
wroDg.tq' redress behind the silver
passion. There is no cause for the
silver propaganda but mere selfish
ness and a piopensity to make mis
chief. Tnere is no support for the
present movement in history, science
or good sense.
, There is not even enlightened sel
fishness in it, for free coinage would
not, in the judgment of close stu
dents, raise the price of silver a
fraction even one day. The mints
would be free to all silver, including
spoons and Mexican dollars, and
European hoards sent to be ex
changed for gold and sold for what
they would bring.
Consent of Other Nation.
Post Intelligencer.
Free silverites barp on the string that
this nation is powerful enough to do
anything it wants to without the "con
sent" of other nations. It is not con
sent" we ask. but agreement we insist
upon.
We have the right to open our ports to
the free admission of all products of the
world, coal, iron, lumber, silver, any
thing. This does not need the consent!
of any other nation.
Bat suppose the United States threw
open its ports, mills, factories and mints
to the products of any other country
say Russia. Suppose that Russia took
advantage of it, to pour in all her sur
plus products into this country, but ab
solutely refaeed to admit our products to
her ports. In a very short time we
would be prompted to say to Russia:
We will admit your iron to onr fur
naces, your silver to our mints, but we
insist that you do the Basin with us.
We are being made the dumping
ground, yet you refuse to put us on the
same footing. We lefuse to admit your
iron or silver unless you reciprocate by
similar legislation." ,
If Russia yielded that would be inter
national agreement; that would be ob
taining her consent.
If any other nation had proposed to
ns that, while refusing itself to coin
silver at the ratio of 16 to 1 of gold, we
should take all its silver at double the
market price of the world, we would
have roared with laughter.
Yet that is what the free silverites are
proposing we should do of our own ac
cord not to one nation but to anv
which chooses to profit by our folly.
A Vigorous Statement Criticized.
Editok Chronicle Fhe following ie
a sample argument (?) from the Ore-
ganian of August 22d :
The loot of modern buccaneers of com
merce is a false foundation for education
effort. Both Stanford and Chicago uni
versities, founded with millions immor
ally acquired, teach public immorality
In classrooms and from the lecture plat
form. The reformed pirates would belter
found hospitals than colleges.
The above will undoubtedly make
many friends for the Oregonian and a
vast number of votes for "sound money"
among the friends of the two universi
ties referred to. ' . Honest Monsy.

The readers of this paper will be
pleased to learn that there is at least
one dreaded disease that science has
been able to care in all its stages, and
that ia Catarrh. Hall's Catarrh Cure is
! the only positive enre known to the
medical fraternity. Catarrh being a
constitutional disease, requires a consti
tutional treatment. Hall's Catarrh
Cnre is taken internally, acting directly
upon the blood and mucous surfaces of
the system, thereby destroying the foun
dation of the disease, and giving the
patient strength by bnilding up the con
stitution and assisting nature in doing
its work. The proprietors have so much
faith in its curative powers, that they
offer One Hundred Dollars for any case
that it fails to cure. Send for "list of
