SILVER IS DEAD.
Silyer continues to fall in price,
and a dollar now only contains forty
cents in silver. Its end as a money
metal has come, except as it may be
used as a subsidiary coin. The
writer has been a silver man, though
not a rabid one. He has believed
that the price of silver might be
maintained at something like its coin
value. Had the world chosen to
make the attempt and agreed upon a
ratio, it might have been done ; but
the world did not elect to do so,
hence to discuss the ought-to-bes or
might-have-beens is simply a waste
of time. What the world wants it
will have, and what it does not want
it cannot be forced to take, for tbe
reason that it is so large that its nose
cannot be held while the dose is ad
ministered. It is useless to cling to the idols of
Baal, for they are broken in the tem
ple, and it is folly to kick against the
inevitable. Silver is done for, and
that is all there is of it. The logic
of a Bland and the eloquence of a
Bryan may for a moment sway the
crowd, but against their pens and
tongues is opposed the resistless
weight of the financial world. Silver
is dead, and the tact may as well be
acknowledged and acquiesced in.
The mourners are many, but the
funeral will go on just the same, and
those of us who felt friendly to the
white metal might as well attend the
last sad rites and get rid of the sur
plus tears.
An old sailor going through a
grave3ard came across a tombstone
with tbe epitaph "I am not dead,
but sleep." "Well, I'll be blowed,"
said . he after reading it, "If I was
dead I wouldn't get into my grave
and lie about it." And that's the
way we feel about it.
There seems to be a general desire
to provide the Klondike miners with
everything they need. A Pittsburg
man is the latest to come to the front
with a proposition to secure places in
advance for hundreds of respectable
girls and transport them to the gold
fields. They would be located near
each other, so that they would have
the benefit of each other's advice and
society. Two objects, says the Pitts
burg philanthropist, would be se
cured. The Klondikers would get
better food, and the girls, being
gathered from New England, where
the market for them is over stocked,
would give the balance of the girls
m that country a chance and send
the stock up. The Pittsburg man
would, of course, expect all money
advanced by him to be returned by
the employer or miner who should
marry one of the girls, and would,
no doubt, also receive a handsome
donation from the lucky fellow who
located one of them. There is no
patent on the idea, and western girls
are not prohibited from making the
venture on their own account.
Dame Nature is in a kindly mood,
and now that the gold standard is
assured for the world, the old girl
seems to be sweating gold at every
pore. Tbe Klondike stories are as
an Arabian Night's tale, but they are
almost equaled by those from Cali
fornia. Rich strikes are reported all
over the state, while here in our
grand old Oregon, without much be
ing said about it, the gold output is
being doubled. Baker county will
produce this year $3,000,000, or
nearly as much as the Klondike, and
in a few years more the output from
that county and Grant will take eight
figures to express it.
It is fair to presume that most of
the prospecting along the Yukon
will hereafter be done on the Ameri
can side of the line. Canada's action
in taking every other claim for the
government and twenty per cent of
the proceeds of the balance of the
claims, gives her virtually sixty per
cent of whatever the miners dis
cover. Of course the law applies to
her own citizens as well as ours, and
is not discrimination. It is simply a
piece of highway robbery that will
cause her go'd fields to remain un
developed and force the prospectors
all onto United States soil.
Wednesday wheat in New York
City jumped from 91 to 95 cents and
a trifle better. The rise was caused
by harvest reports from Europe, and
it now looks as though "dollar wheat"
would be no longer a legendary mat
ter. In Chicago it took a similar
rise, going to 88, and in San Fran
cisco a sharp rise is also reported.
This should make the market price
in Portland about 87 cents.
If wheat continues to go up, tbe
farmers of Eastern Oregon won't
know what to do with their money.
At ninety cents a bushel they will be
buying canary birds and gold fish,
and at a dollar parrots, monkeys and
lightning rods will not be considered
bad investments.

Remarkable Care of Chronic Diarrhoea.
In 1862, when I served my country as
a private in Company A, 167th Penn
sylvania Volunteers, I contracted
chronic diarrhoea. It has given me
great deal of trouble ever since. I have
tried a dozen different medicines and
several prominent doctors without any
permanent relief. Not long ago a friend
sent me a sample bottle of Chamberlain's
Colic, Cholera and Diarrhoea Remedy,
and after that I bought and took a 50
cent bottle; and now I can say that I
am entirely cured. I cannot be thankful
enough to you for this great Remedy,
and recommend it to all suffering veter
ans. If in doubt write to me. Yours
gratefully, Henry Steinberger, Allen
town, Pa. Sold by Blakeley & Hough

Diarrhoea Remedy always affords
prompt relief. For sale by Blakeley &
