The. Sadie B, Day Bros.' little
steamer which had the honor of being
the first boat to pass through the locks
at Cascades, was in Portland yesterday
and attracted considerable attention,
says the Oregonian. It was difficult to
convince the people that the boat had
really passed from the upper to the
lower river, so mapy having dispaired
of ever seeing the locks opened for
traffic.
A Baptist preacher east has a "Bible
readers pocket dictionary" which gives
the value of a gold talent as $26,280
and the value of a silver talent as $1,
742.50, which is probably about correct.
The ratio is exactly 16 to 1. The value
of a talent differs some with different
Bible authorities, but with none is it
over 16 to 1. That is the natural ratio,
almost the divine ratio, and it cannot
and should not be changed, particu
larly at the dictation of money specu
lators.
Great preparations are being made
by the Portland Knights of Pythias
for their celebration at the exposition
on the night of October 13. This date
has been selected because the grand
lodge of Oregon will then be in session
in Portland, and fully 500 visiting
delegates will be in the city. There
are in Portland about 1100 members of
the order, and these, with visiting
brethern, will probably turn out as
many as 1000 knights in the procession
that evening.
An industryin thecity that is worthy
of mention is the candy factory in the
Oregon Bakery. Mr. Keller has lately
fitted up a room expressly for manu
facturing candy and has an expert
candy maker employed constantly. At
present Mr. Keller is confining him
self principally to The Dalles for a
market, but expects soon to supply
other localities with confectioneries.
This' factory furnishes an object lesson
of what may be accomplished in the
manufacturing line here, and the suc
cess it is meeting should encourage
the establishing of factories in other
lines.
Yesterday's Oregonian contained an
interesting article with reference to
early pioneers who,' were born off Cape
Horn, mentioning Albert Crowe, jr.,
and Mrs. R. L. Hawthorne as the only
pioneers born on the southern seas.
This called to the mind of Geo. Baker,
a resident of this city, the fact that
Geo. Sage, now residing on Van
couver Island, was born on the Princes
Royal, off Cape Horn in August, 1854,
when the vessel was becalmed for six
weeks; hence Mr. Sage is entitled to
the distinction of being named among
the pioneers who first saw life on the
southern seas.
Dig down to the cause of your sick
ness, if you want to get well and stay
well. Most likely it's indigestion.
The irritating poisons of fermenting,
putrid food, left in the stomach by in
digestion, cause headache, neuralgia,
nervousness, dizziness, stomach-ache,
nausea, irritability, and all the other
well-known symptoms of indigestion.
They also cause many pains and dis
orders which are often laid to other
causes and hence are not easily cured.
But as soon as the poisons are removed,
all these symptoms and disorders dis
appear, because there is nothing left
to cause them. Nothing succeeds in
this like Shaker Digestive Cordial, be
cause, it prevents the undigested lood
from fermenting in the stomach and.
helps the stomach to digest its food.

Tomorrow is tho 109th anniversary
of Washington's farewell address to
the people of the United States. No
more fitting remembrance of the oc

SURE OF ELECTION.
A Former Oregonian Says Bryan Is a Sore
Winner.
Hon. Nicholas M. Bell, of St. Louis,
formerly a resident of Oregon, was in
Salem a few days ago, and to a Journal
reporter expressed his convictions
that Bryan would be the next presi
dent of the United States. Mr. Bell
said: .". .. . ... . . ..
"The talk in St. Louis is almost en
tirely on tho 6ilyer issue. Ours is a
republican city and we hope to carry it
for Bryan by 4,000, to 5,000, and old
Missouri will give from 50,000 to 100,000
for Bryan. Illinois1 and Indiana are as
safe for Bryan as Missouri. You have
no idea of the intensity of feeling in
the agricultural regions of Illinois on
the money question. - The same is true
of the farming states generally.
"Bryan will carry the entire South
including Maryland. I leave out Dele
ware. He will carry the entire West.
He will carry Indiana, Illinois and
Michigan. There are 417 votes in the
electoral college. It takes 224 votes to
elect. The only Western or Southern
states in any danger is West Virginia.
In New Yok Bryan will gain five
silver republicans for each gold demo
crat we will lose. I have been in
politics 23 years, and was a delegate
from Oregon in 1868. I was a delegate
this year to the convention at Chicago
that nominated Bryan. My deliberate
judgment is that Bryan is as sure of
election as any man ever was or ever
will be six weeks before election. I
do not consider Illinois, Indiana or
Michigan as doubtful states.
They are sure for Bryan as Missouri
or Arkansas. With the South and
West for him Bryan needs only 7 votes.
The loss of any Western state will be
more than made up by Illinois or
Indiana. I do not consider the defect
ion on the gold democratic ticket as
much as it is estimated. Republican
abuse of democrats is forcing them
into line for Bryan. 5 iou will not
have over 1,000 or 1,500 in Oregon, and
most of them in Portland."
FREE COINAGE.
How Gold Will Fall In Value Tnder Free
Coinage. -
f Silver's Letter No. 4.
It has been asked of me by some of
my gold standard friends, how it is
figured that the nurchasinff value of
gold will fall on account of the free
coinage of silver? In answer I would
say that it is very simple, and depends,
as I have already explained in my
previous Jettora, upon the law of supply
and demand.
The United States as appears by
statistics now holds one-seventh of
the gold money "in the world and
since gold, like everything else, flows
from place to place in accordance with
the demand we may safely assume
that the United States furnishes one-
seventh of the demand for gold all over
the face of the globe. Besides this,
tho United States, under our present
system, is constantly struggling for a
still larger proportion of tho gold of
the world selling bonds, etc., to
obtain it and thereby constantly in
creasing the demand there'or iu the
world's markets.
Now the gold standard people claim
that the adoption of fse silver in the
United States would drive all this one
seventh of the gold in the world out of
circulation in this country in other
words, that we would go to a silver
basis, and as we could not profitably
employ gold as a medium of exchange
while we were on the silver basis, it
would be thrown back upon other
countries where the use and the de
mand for it would be greater. Now if
this is true, the effect of the free coin
age of silver would be to entirely des
try the one-seventh of the world's de
mand lor gold, which is now repre
sented by the United States. Is it not
absolutely plain, then, that if you 3an
destroy one-seventh of the demand for
gold by the free coinage of silver, that
the purchasing price of gold is bound
to drop?
To illustrate: Suppose that tomorrow
something should happen to destroy
one-eeventh of the demand for wheat
in the markets of the world, the supply
of wheat remaining the same. What
would be the effect? Anybody knows,
who knows anything about the history
of wheat, that the price would fall one-
half; since, so nicely is the demand
and supply of wheat balanced in the
world, that a falling off, or an increase
of five per cent in the world's supply
always represents a tremendous rise or
fall in the market.
Thus it is seen that by natural law3,
as sure and certain in their operation
as the law by which water seeks its
level, the purchasing value of gold
would be tremendously dimiuished, if
the seventy million of people in the
United States should entirely cease
using it as a circulating medium.

CLAIMS AGAINST ' THE COUNTY.
- Following is a list of the bills allowed

BOUNTY ON WILD A"XISIALS.
A HAPPY REUNION.
Old
ONLY HAtf TOLD.
Onr Contemporary Did Not -Investigate
Eagan's Responsibility.
John Eagan, of Indianapolis, has
signed and sent to the Cincinnati Com
mercial Gazette the following order:
"I am (and have been for forty years)
a democrat, but will now bet $20,000 to
$10,000 that McKinley 'will get every
one of the northern and western states.
I will bet $20,000 to $10,000 that Mc
Kinley will be elected, and I will make"
a bet of $5,000 that Bryan won't get as
large a vote as Greely. These wili
hold good until October 1st.
The above appeared on the first
page of Monday's Chronicle, but had
the editor of our contemporary in
quired into the genuineness of the
bluff, he no doubt would not have
given it publicity. In the New
York Wold of Sept 7, is an ac
count of how Bluffer Eagan was called
and failed to respond. John Ped
igo, a well-known southern planter
and trader, according to the account
published in the World, stopped at
Indianapolis, and sought " Capitalist "
Eagan with a view of covering his
wager. He found Eagan behind an
Indianapolis bar, and when Mr. Pedigo
informed him what his mission was,
Eagan exclaimed: " I don't want to
bet nothin'. I did put that piece in
the papers, but it does seem to me any
fool I beg pardon,any gentleman ,
ought to have seen that I was only
joking. I couldn't pay a bet if I made
it. I am only a bar-keeper in here
don't even own the bar. I couldn't
bet, wouldn't bet, and if I can pay a
bet."
After treating to champagne Bluffer
Eagan acknowledged that he never
had been a democrat, but had been a
republican all his life, and the blow
about betting was only a bluff.

But it may be urged that silver ad
vocates do not believe that the free
coinage of silver would result in en
tirely driving gold out of circulation
in the United States, and therefore,
the effect upon the demand for gold
would not be so great.
Very true, silver people do not think
that gold would be driven out of cir
culation here,but what they do believe,
is that the scramble for foreign gold
on the part of the United States would
at once cease. Our demand for the
gold which we now .have would, to a
certain extent continue, although
modified by the extended use of silver,
but there would be no more selling of
bonds. to, get foreign gold, no more
competition on the part of the United
States in the contest for gold in the
markets of the world, and besides this
the action of the United States would
mark the turn of the tide. Financiers
of all nations would at once see that
gold was not going to become an uni
versal standard, as many of them have
lately supposed, that the demand for a
circulating medium was turning back
towards silver.
There would be a strong probability
of other nations following in. tho
footsteps of the United ' States, and
giving up their demand for gold. The
result would be that ' bankers and
money chargers all over the world
would cease their scramble for gold,
since it would De tne iauing metal,
which had reached its high tide in
value, and they would commence a
scramble for silver, which would be
again the rising sun of financial circu
lation. The inevitable result would
be that silver would go up and gold
would come down, and, as we haye
said, since this would depend, not upon
theory, but upon obvious natural laws,
the result would be as certain to follow
as it is certain that the sun will rise
tomorrow, or that the tides of the
ocean will continue to ebb and flow
according to the - attraction of the
moon. ' Silver.
Friends Assemlilo to Celebrate Mr.
Joslyn's Anniversary.
Yesterday was the 71st anniversary
of E. S. Joslyn, one of the pioneers of
this section, whoso home is at Col
orado Springs, but who has been
speudiDg the summer at the residence
of Mr. and Mrs. J. R. Warner at White
Salmon, and this milestone on his
path of life.wa3 duly observed by a
party of old friends, who assembled at
the pleasant home of the Warners yes
terday forenoon. Those present were
Mr. and Mrs. Joslyn, Mr. and Mrs. S.
L. Brooks. Mr. and Mrs. Allie Bender
son. Mesdames V. W. Phelps, u. Al
Donnell, E. M. Wilson, C. J. Crandall
B. S. Huntington. J. B. Condon an
Rev. W. C. Curtis, of The Dalles; Di
Humbert Caldwell, of Portland; Mrs
Dr. Barrett, of Hood River; Mr. and
Mrs. A. H. Jewett and Mr. and Mrs
J. R. Warner, of White Salmon. ;
The party that wentfromThe Dalles
on the Regulator were met with car
riages at the boat landing, and conveyed
to the pleasant home of Mr. and Mrs,
Warner, where a most sumptuous din
ner was spread, and some two hours
were profitably devoted to discussing
reminiscences of the past. Tho after
dinner talks were most pleasant.
though tinged with sadness, for it waa
recognized by all as possibly the last
meeting of those present, since Air,
and Mrs. Joslyn will soon depart for
their homo in Colorado, and will
probably never agein visit the scenes
they knew in their prime of life.
Mr. Joslyn and Mr. Brooks bo
spoke of the long years of friendship
that had existed between them, the
ties that had drawn them together,
and referred to the parting that was
soon to come as one of the saddest
events of their lives, while Mr. Curtis
spoke of the part Mr. and Mrs. Joslyn
had taken during their residence in
this vicinity, in moulding public
sentiment for virtue and justice, re
marking that in his pastoral - work in
this field he found their influences
ever present. Mrs. B. S. Huntington
read a pleasant letter of regret from
Mr. Huntington, after which the party
was driven over the handsome fruit
farm of Mr. Jewett and were shown
the principal points of interest about
White Salmon.
The day was perfect in every respect
and those who partook of the hospi
tality of Mr. and Mrs. Warner pro
nounce it one of the pleasantest events
of their lives.

His Salary Greater Than a Senator's.
"Givo me an order on New York
payable to myself for $ ," said an
individual in the local express office
a few days ago. There was nothing
extraordinary in a person buying an
order, but when all the facts in the
case are known a different view en
tirely is had of the whole affair. The
person in question, to the eye witness
personal knowledge, bad been in the
city but two days, plying the vocation
of begging, and the amount of the
order was no doubt the net income for
that length of time, being: a larger
salary than is received by any person
in this city. ' No doubt this party has

The inhabitants of Baker City's
Chinatown were thrown into a great
state of excitement last Sunday morn
ing, by the sudden death of one of their
number. The shining mark was Ding
Gung, aged 38 years old, a representa
tive of Sam Yup Co., of San Francisco,
whose business is that of exhuming the
bodies of departed' brothers and pre
paring them for shipment to the
Flowery Kingdom. Ding arose in his
usual goud health, and was about to
smoke his morning cigarette, when
he fell to the floor dead. His remaioes
were embalmed and shipped to San
Francisco , where Ding's family re
sides. It is said that the decsased man
was quite wealthy. V

A very happy termination of the en
tertainment given by Temple and
Fern lodges to their guests of the
grand lodges was the banquet last
evening. After Temple lodge had con
cluded its regular routine business, the
A. O. V. W. ENTERTAINMENT.
The Baldwin Opera House Filled With
Guests of the Order.
The seating capacity of the Baldwin
was taxed to accomodate those who ac
cepted the hospitality of Temple and
Fern lodges last evening. The occa
sion was an entertainment given by
tho Workman and Degree of Honor
lodges of the city in honor of a visit
from the grand master of the - Work
men and officers of the grand lodge
of the Degree.
On the stage were Grand Master E.
Werloin, Grand Chief of Honor Mrs.
Carrie Holman, Grand Past Chief Mrp.
Kate J. Young, Grand Recorder Mrs.
Maggie Houston, Grand Lady of Honor
Mrs. M. E. Briggs and Grand Lecturer
D. C. Herrin. After the rendering of
a pleasant selection by the D. of H.
choir, Hon. J. Fl Moore introduced
Mrs. M-. E. Briggs, who on behalf of
the two lodges delivered an eloquent
address of welcome to the grand
officers. This was responded 'to by
Grand Master Werlein in a short and
pithy address, in which many of the
commendable features of the order
were happily illustrated. Following
Mr. Werlin's address, Mrs. , C. F.
Stephens and Mrs. S. Young, rendered
a vocal duet. Then Grand Lecturer
Herrin was introduced, and delivered
an able address upon the fraternal
and beneficial features of Workman
ship. The next number was a' vocal
solo by Dr. Doane followed by an ex
cellent recitation by Miss Jennie
Russell. The D. of H. choir rendered
a farewell solo, and while preparations
were being made for'the closing piece,
a tableau depicting charity, hope and
protection, Hon. J. F. Moore addressed
the audience on the workings, of the
order, in which ho very clearly showed
the system of insurance and the
fraternal features of the A. O. U. W.
The entertainment was indeed a
pleasant one, and scored another suc
cess for the two orders under whose
. i-
auspices it was given. ..;

this hour there never a moment when
the silver dollar was the actual stand
ard. The old dollar of the daddies
"served the people well," says "Pas
cal." It did, that is, if the people are
"well served" by a dollar that they
never saw; bv a dollar that never was
in circulation. It served them so
"well" that less than one million and
a half of them were coinod from the
establishmentof the mint till 1337. It
served them so well that they could
not possibly be kept in circulation
after this latter date. It served them
so "well" that at various times from
1793, the gpvernment was obliged to
resort to the expedient of making
foreign silver coins a legal tender to
take their place. It served them so
well" that only a little over eight
millions of them were coined in 81
years, to be exported or metled as fast
as they appeared, while more than 50
times that amount of Bland dollars
have been coined and'put in circu
lation, either as coin or paper repre
sentatives, since silver was "struck
down" and "demonetized" in 1873
the most marvelous striking down of
any metal that has ever occurred since
the world began ! I deny that gold
has appreciated in value since 1873,
but, however that may be, I reject
"Pascal's" proof as the baseless
creation of populist fancy.
Where did Pascal learn that when
France, tho other members of the Latin
Union and India stopped the coinage
of silver, except on government ac
count, an extraordinary demand for
gold was created "by such country"
requiring gold to maintain its credit
money. I had supposed that the Latin
Union never lost their gold, that, iu
fact, the Union was formed and main
tained for that purpose.
When did any of these countries buy
gold to any extraordinary amount, for
the purpose alleged? And when, pray,
did India begin to buy gold for the
same purpose? Germany certainly
bought largely after she stopped the
free coinage of silver not in 1873,
"after we did," as Pascal says, but in
18(1, two years before we did. And
Germany has thrown upon the market,
during the last 20 odd years, over $700,
000,000 worth of silver, a sum which,
added to the greatly increased output
of the world, is sufficient to account
for much of the depreciation in the
price of silver, without inventing the
theory that gold has doubled in value.
Bnt suppose it has doubled? . Your
cheap dollar has no attraction for me,
I have nothing to sell but my labor,
If the gold dollar, or gold standard
dollar, is a dear dollar I like it all the
better. There never was a dollar
coined that was too good for a poor
man. rrove that the dollar I now re
ceive' for my labor is a dear dollar, "a
gold bug dollar," a "Rothschild-Mor
gan syndicate" dollar, if you will, you
only prove it is better than the one I
used to get. Can you ask me, do vou
dare to a?K me to vote to cut this dollar
in two? I won't do do it! I should be
made to do it. Give me and all other
wage-earners the dollar we now have
and a chance to earn it; give us, in a
word, McKinley protection and Mc
Kinley wages and in less than six
j months the alluring but thoroughly
delusive popocratic bait of free silver
will have as little attraction for the
laboring masses as the old democratic
free trade bait of four years ago has
for thein now, J HUGH GOURLAY.

John Gavin, of this city, was re
cently admitted to the bar. by the
supreme court at Salem. . There were
seventy-four applicants,-- including 41
seniors of the law department of the
Oregon University. The examination
was wholly written. Forty-nine ques
tions were on the list and four hours
time given for the writing of the
answers. .. Mr. Gavin received a certi
ficate entitling him to practice. He
received his instruction through the
Sprague Correspondence School of
Law, 115 Telephone building, Detroit,
M:ch. This school enables students
to study law in their own homes by
tho correspondence method.. It is
quite remarkable what tbi school has
been able to accomplish with its stu
dents scattered as they are in every
state and all the instruction given by
mail. Any young man or young
woman unable to attend a law school j
and desiring to study law at hone will
be profited by writing the school for
particulars.

BAMBLlNG THOUGHTS.
Mr.
Gonrlay Wanders Into Space on tbe
Money Question.
Tiik Dalles, Or., Sept. 17, 1896.
Editor Tlhks-Modntaxneeb:
Pascal's" effort to reconcile tho two
Bryanite postulates, that free coinage
of silver will give the debtor a cheap
dollar wherewith to pay his debts and
and at the same time restore silver to
a parity with gold, is not a brilliant
success, but he, doubtless, did his best
and the best could do no more. But I
must protest against the numerous
fundamental errors he has fallen into,
in his effort to prove that gold has ap
preciated, about one hundred per cent
since the alleged demonetization of
silver in 1873. It is not true, although
it cuts a small figure in this contro
versy, that our first monetary unit was
the silver dollar. Hamilton's report
on the free coinage law, which he,
himself, framed coupled with Jeffer
son's correspondence regarding the
same, place it beyond all reasonable
doubt that it was the intention.of that
law to establish a double standard, the
unit to consist of the abstract thing
known a9 a dollar, this dollar to con
sist of 3711 grains of pure sijver or 24
grains of pure gold. It ia not true,
therefore, in any sense that the silver
dollar was the standard for 81 years,
till 1S73. It was not the actual stand
ard for quite half of that time. The "6
or 7 cents variation" between the bul
lion value of the two metals drove gold
completely out of circulation till 1837
when the ratio was changed, of set in
tent to bring it back into use. A
variation of one cent would have had
the same effect, and during more than
forty years after our first coins were
struck there never was a moment when
a silver dollar was equal In bullion
value to a gold dollar. From 1834 till
Called Sleeting.
There will be a meeting of the W
J. Bryan club held at the court house
