THE RELATIVE VALVE OF GOLD
' The fundamental principle of the
free silver statesman is that the "de-
. monetization" of silver has enhanced
gold, and the increase in the price of
gold has made it more difficult for
wage earners to acquire it. In rela
tion to what has gold increased in
value? It has not increased in value
in its relation to what the wage
' -earner has to exchange for it ; rela
tive wages and prices in gold in the
United States of all occupations, tak
ing wages of 1860 as 100, are given
by statisticians as follows:
Prices Wages Prices Wages
180 llG.8 87.7 1S71 122 9 147.8
18&0 102.3 92.7 1880 106.9 141.6
1860 100 100 1890...... 92.S 158.9
ISO 117.3 133.7 1891 : 93.2 160,7
From 18C0 to 189J, wages have in
creased C0.7 per cent, and during the
same time prices of articles for which
the laborer must exchange his earn
ings have decreased 7.8 per cent. In
Great Britain the increase in wages
has been 23 per cent during the 15.
years ending with 1892; in France
the increase from 1 875 to 1 883 was,
among carpenters and laborers, 33
per cent and among ten classes of
common day laborers from -1805 to
1883 120 per cent. During these
periods these nations were upon a
.gold basis or went from the silver to
the gold basis.
From 1873 to 1891 the average fall
in price of eleven of the chief agri
cultural products of this country was
26 per sent; during the same period
the average fall in twenty-three of
the principal manufactured and other
articles consumed but not raised here
was 55 per cent. Measuring , the
price of gold by corn, the agncul
tuial product of this country which
is least influenced by foreign compe
tition, foreign demand, new methods
of cultivating and harvesting, we
find that it has . enhanced C per cent
from 1873 to 1891. We believe .that
a careful examination of all statis
tics will show, when considered, in
the light of increased production
and improved facilities for produc
ing and transporting, that the relative
price or gold lias fallen ana not en
hanced. It should also be borne in
mind that gold and silver are' not
consumed ; the existing volume is
rapidly increasing; while all agricul
tural products when once used lose
their existence.
" LOST OR STOLEN.
The state portage railway, last
seen at the Cascades of the Colum
... bia, has disappeared. One rumor
H. E. BALCH.
78 Second Street.
says that this railroad, which cost the
people of Oregon $60,000, disap
peared between two Days and no
one knows what has become of it;
another is to the effect that the canal
swallcwed it, the last appropriation
of congress having been too small to
satisfy' its rapacious maw. If the
latter i nmor is correct we hope the
State Portage Commission will not
go near that awful canal; having lost
the railroad we can't afford to lose
our commission also.
The Cascade forest reserve is a
great benefit to the government of
ficials who have a salary as a member
of a commission or who get fees for
serving processes; these dependents
upon the government take pleasant
outings to Cloud Cap inn and Crater
lake and return to report the baneful
effect of pasturing sheap in the tim
ber, never having seen a sheep ex
cept such as were on exhibition at
some county fair. They travel the
roads used by tourists are enter
tained as dead heads and when they
return tu Portland write out a report
that sheep men believe in burning
the pasturage upon which they de
pend to maintain their flocks. A
short lime ago several sheep owners
were arrested, taken to Portland as
common criminals in charge of two
deputy marshals, were advised by
the aforesaid marshals to employ
counsel and were then allowed to re
turn home ; an injunction case was
begun against one party which was
to be a test case and this was indef
initely postponed, presumably until
such time as the sheep owners could
conveniently remove their sheep.
Every lawyer, outside the U. S. At
torneys's office, to whom the matter
has been submitted finds no authority
of law for the exclusion of the sheep,
and yet deputy marshals are now
threatening to arrest every herder
who does not immediately remove
the sheep in his charge from the res
ervation. The sheep men, if no one
else, have discovered that there is
something radically wrong with this
administration. .
The Populists of Portland are
brighter than the Popocrats they
have discovered that Pennoyer is a
demagogue. What will become of
Pennoyer when the Popocrats find
him out? ' There will then be no
wigwnm at all.
It shonld be constantly borne in
mind that the Bryan Sewall ticket
offers the American people nothing,
except the free coinage of silver at
16 to 1, which the present adminis
tration has. not forced upon us; all
they promise, aside from free coinage,
is what we have had to endure dur
ing the past three and a half years.
Major McKinley's letter of accept
ance which was made public today is
a declaration of principles from ihe
pen of a statesman and a man ot
large experience in public affairs; it
has nothing of the politician but
everything of the statesman. Its es
sence is that we need open mills, not
open mints. . .

The readers of this - paper will be
pleased to learn that there is at least
one dreaded disease that science has
been able to cure in all its stages, and
that is Catarrh. Hall's Catarrh Cure is
the only positive cure known to the
medical fraternity. Catarrh being a
constitutional disease, requires a consti
tutional treatment. Hall's Catarrh
Cure 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 building 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 enre. Send for 'list of
testimonials. Address :
