FALSE PREMISESFALSE
CONCLUSIONS.
One Qf the fundamental princi
ples of the free silver advocate is
that the act of 1873 was the cause of
the depreciation of silver and that
the enactment of a free coinage law
will restore the price to $1.29 per
ounce. Conversely, if the erenact
mem of the law which was repealed
in 1873 will restore silver to its
former price of $1.29, the law of
1873 was, and is, solely the cause of
the depreciation.
"What are the facts ? In 1840 sil
ver . was worth $1,309. Between
that time and 1859 there was a very
large output of gold and no corres
ponding increase in the output of
silver. During this time a strong
demand for silver existed because of
the large shipments of silver to In
dia by England, to pa' for exten
sive internal improvements and carry
on the Sepoy war, and the price of
silver rose to $1.36. In 1860 the
price began to decline, and in 18G1
the average price was $1,333; in
1872 the average price was $1.322 ;
from 1861 to 1866 the price fell very
little, there being then a demand for
silver to ship to India, the produc
tion of cotton being greatly stimu
lated there by reason of our civil
war.. In 1871 the demonetization of
silver in Europe began. German'
began legislation in 1871, which was
continued in 1873, whereby gold be
came her standard and all silver
coins were called in and gold substi
tuted therefor. These coins and the
French war indemnity were reduced
to bullion and placed on the market.
Id 1872 Norway, Sweden and Den
mark mutually agreed to go to the
gold standard. Silver in these coun-
tries thereafter was only used for
subsidiary coinage.
In 1875 Holland forbade the fur
ther coinage of silver. In 878 the
European states embraced in the
jLatin union, which had been, since
1871, struggling to keep up the price
by the free coinage of five franc
pieces, gave up the task and went to
the gold standard. In 1876 Russia
suspended the coinage of silver, ex
cept as to such anamount as was re
quired for her Chinese trade. In
1879 free coinage in Austria-Hun
gary was suspended, although she did
not by law adopt the gold standard
until some years later.
In 1873 the United States, except
on the Pacific coast, was oq a paper
basis; we had no'silver. We imme
diately began to purchase silver, and
during the year 1873 (the law of
3873 was passed Feb. 12) we coined
9 4,024,747.60 of silver;' more silver
than had been coined in any one
year since 1859. This silver was
purchased and coined for the pur
pose of Liking up ,lhe fractional
paper currency known as "shin plas
ters." From 1873 to 1891 the
. amount of silver coined by United
States mints steadily increased, until
in 1890 it reached $39,202,908.20,
ine largest in any one j-ear in our
bistory. It is true our mints were
not free, but the government bought
the silver and coined it op its own
account; and instead of demonetize
' ing silver in 1873 we actually began
at that time to remonetize it and put
78 Second- Street.
it into circulation ; and the Repubh
can party continued that policy as
long as it was in power.
We believe the act of 1873 had
nothing to do with the fall in the
price of silver.
To arrest stock men for pasturing
the Cascade mountains, involve them
in' expense to defend a criminal
casewhen no law makes it a crime
to pasture stock on the reservation,
is a rank injustice. - The officers" of
the U. S. court know they 'cannot
convict the accused, and are simply
doing it tp teach them a lesson. To
make the annoyance greater, they
have commenced injunction suits,
thus involving a large number of
men in an interminable equity suit,i
when one test case would have
served every purpose. This whole
maiter is being conducted without
reason or justice, and is quite on a
par with Commissioner Spark's land
fraud fad. Alleged inspectors are
given a federal appointment, and to
make it appear that their office and
services are or value, make false
reports concerning the effect of pas
turing the forests of the mountains
They know nothing of the subject
or they would know that these for
ests have been pastured extensively
for twenty years and never a , timber
tree has been eaten up; that forest
fires are more numeious and exten
sive in "Western Oregon and Wash
ington than on the eastern slope. of
tfie mountains where the stock are
pastured ; and that all this talk about
devastation is unfounded. The
whole thing is a rank injustice, and
we trust the next congress will put
an end to it.
We heartily join with the Times-
Mountaineer in advocating the estab
lishment of a woolen mill at The Dalies.
We need, more than anything else, an
industry which will give employment
to people who will consume the prod
ucts of our gardene, orchards and farms
and give aa a ready home market. We
have a wool market from which all
classes of wool can be selected ; we have
an excellent water power which, with
the possible exception of the months of
Augu-t and September, would furnish
pover, and this could be secured at
small expense. All we need is the capi
tal and skilled operators,

LATIN AND GERMAN TAUGHT.
GERMAN.
The undersigned desires to orjranizn a class In
German. Every America:: citizen who can af
ford both time and expense ought to be master
of at lea&t two languages. The German language
hrt- many advantages over modern language -on
account of her profound literature in all branch
es of ancient and modern science produced in
her world-renowned universities. Those who
would drink from these inexhaustible and yet
uuadultetated fountains of knowledge, mil t
master the language which contains the key to
them. The undersigned will organize a class in
German, ana will begin with actual work on the
first day of September. The class will meet two
or three times a week in the evening or when
most convenient to the ( npils. Rapid progress
guaranteed to those who will get down to earn

work will please announce their intention to
the nndereigned at an early date, as the class
will be limited to a certain number. Charges
will be viry reasonable. ,
LATIN.
' The undersigned will also organize a class lu
Latin. There are so many reasons why those
who desire to advance their knowledge beyond ft
common school education should take at least a
course in Latin, that probably everybody is fa
miliar with at least some of them. I will not
take space here to speak of the beauties of the
Latin language nor of the many advantages in
life possessed by those who bavemastered.it. I
will here only announce my intention to organ
ize a c ass in Latin. Rapid progress guaranteed
to those who will work bard. Charges very rea
sonable. All desiring instruction in Latin are
kindly requested to announce their intention to
the undersigned before September, if possible.
Awaiting ytur application, I am, very respect
fully yours. . i L. GREY,
