The Tiiaes-Moniitaiiieer
SATURDAY ...... ..FEBRUARY 9. 189S
" BON EST MOSSY.
The financial question is the all ab
sorbing one in Washington City, and
to formulate some plan by which tbe
treasury may retain ita gold is a prob
. lem that congressmen are trying to
solve. With the change of tbe ad
ministration it was expected that an
innovation would be made in the finan
cial policy that had been followed by
ReDUblicana. While Democrats during
. the canvas of 1892, freely gave their on th senatorial question, originated
' opinion that the tariff laws should be "d supported by tbe Populists of the
the treasury of tbe state, it -was ex
pected, would be stopped. But the
expectation has not been realized, and
instead of a reduction the number of
clerks has been increased. There were
useless commissions which have been
adding thousands of dollars to the bur
den of legation every year, and there
was an urg ut demand that these be
abolished. Nothing has been done in
this regard, and the wishes of the peo
pie have been trampled under foot by
those whom they elected to represent
them. Of course bills have been pre
sented to rid the state of these para
sites on its treasury; but the dead-lock:
Abolished they also held out hopes, and
strongly expressed them in speeches,
that the country would again return
to the silver standard that was in op
eration . before 1873. On this latter
point the Chicago platform was enig
matical; but Democratic orators at
tempted to interpret it in favor of
unlimited coinage of silver, and held
. that ai one important reason that
-Republicans should be supplanted in
. the administration of national affairs
' by members of their own party.. When
the change took place it was found
that the president was in favor of a
sound "and solid currency, and could
not be bent to the will of silver-dided
Democracy. Daring the two year
that Democrats have been in
power no silver legislgtion has
been attempted, and no effort has been
made to change the monetary system
which had been sneeeeefullv carried
out by Mr. Harrison and his pred
ecesore. The threat ru sufficient to
shake pnblio confidence at home and
abroad, and for tbe past two years the
aountry haa suffered the worst finan
cial straits-tbat it haa for a long time.
A nation is very much like an individ
nal in financial matters, and the loss of
state in their wild craze for free silver,
has" blocked the wheels of legislation,
and valuable time to tbe tax-payers is
passing without anything being done,
Tbe legislature has 72 Republican
members, and the opposition only IS
in both branches. They were elected
by the largest majority ever given to
a ticket in the history of the state,
and they will be held responsible for
everything done and anything? left un
done. This is right, and every legis.
lator should realize the responsibility
that rests npon him. It is not the
time at this session to deadlock the
legislature because the majority are
not willing to prove unfaithful to their
constituents and to the best interests
of the state and nation by supporting
a candidate in favor of unlimited
coinage. Every Republican member
should consider himself in duty bound
to redeem the promises made by the
A CAUSE.
Many people lose sight of one of tbe
most important elements of the present
financial strife which the national
treasury is in, says the Eugene City
Register. It is not altogether due to
any fault in the monetary laws of the
country; and the Republicans all over
the nation are near right when they
attribute the trouble to tbe change in
the tariff laws of the country. The
tariff on imports has been reduced to
a great extert, but not jet .so ranch as
was promised by the party' in power.
But the reduction has workpd a hard
ship in two ways. In the first place
the reduction itself ' would naturally
enough depreciate the revenues; and
in the second place the prospect of fur
ther chaDgPS made it advisable for im
porters to import heavily, for the fear
that the duties would be lowered still
more. Besides being a faotor in crea
ting the deficiency, the change in the
tariff laws has worked a hardship upon
the manufacturers of our country and
the mem and women who depend upon
them for employment. It will take
another Republican congress and ad
ministration to bring everything; back
to tbe firm foundation which the busi
ness of the country has been shaken
from so rudely.

free silver man. The forty three Re-
pnhlicans who have supported bim
should continue to do so until the last
4 y of (be session, and if Oregon has
only one senator in the next congress
the blame will rest on those bolters who
refused to carry out the wishes of the
people a3 expressed at tbe ballot box,
and broke their plighted faith with
the caucus of which tbey voluntarily
formed a part.
Personal letters are written to the
bolters to bolster them up in the ob
struction tactics they are pursuing; but
atraiige to say, although these are pub
lished in the Democratic and Populist
preai, under glaring bead-lines, the
names of tbe authors do not appear,
and it is impossible to determine their
political state." If they are Rpultli
cans they should not be ashamed to I
make themselves known to the public;
but it is furmi?ed and with good reason
that "Republican," "One of them,"
eta, are bim ply cloaks to hide Demo
crats and Populists who fought Dolpb
and the Republican ticket last June,
and are still engaged in the same busi
ness.

- The proposition made by Speaker

plan to be followed throughout tbe
state, if tbe bolters would be willing
to abide by the decision 6f tbe major

the opinions of Democrats and Popu-

increase tbe council to nine members
instead of six, aa it is now. By this
means all portions of the city will be
more fully represented than tbey are
now, and the number insures a major

The committee unquestionably con
sidered economy in their recommenda
tions, and this is very important.
Our city finances are in a bad shape,
and it requires careful management
and retrenchment in departments to
keep the expenses within the limit of
the receipts. A healthy state of
finances is necessary for proper growth,
and our city cannot expect continued
