. Before the McKinley club last night
Mr. Ivey, who had just returned from
' a campaigning tour of Crook county,
announced that Crook would give Mc
Kinley 300 majority. Evidently Mc.
Ivey got his information from a few
sanguine republicans in that county,
for any one who -knows anything of
the situation there knows that it will
no more than give a majority for Mc
Kinley,' and even that is extremely
doubtful.

Kent, Sherman county, and also an

the fruit product is hardly- up to the
standard, and the display this year

Pascal to the Portland Orrgonlan
Hugh Corn-lay
ED. TlMES-MOUNTAlNEEB:
an1
It does seem a little hard on Hugh
Gourlay that his seccond essey should
be spoiled in much the same manner
as the tirst. Mr. Tom Reed's frank ad
mission that ''it wouldn'd work"
queered the first, and now Mr. Gourlay
runs counter the big Oregonian, which
in its leading editorial of the 18th ib.st.
(same date as his last) answers an hon
est seeker after truth who asked "why
we cannot have free coinage of silver
at 16 to 1 just as we used to have it be
fore 1873;" this being the very question
raised by my last letter, and there
seeming to be some "meat" in its ans
wer, and none of the "sounding brass
and tinkling cymbal" business, with
Mr. Gourlay's permission I will exam
ine the Oregonian's answer. The
people are seeking facts in this cam
paign, not fancies; and we must appeal
to their reason, not their imagination.
The Oregonian draws some remark
able conclusions from the acts of 1837
and 1853 .whijh I think the wording
and spirit of the law does not warrant.
It says:
"The gold standard had been pur
posely adopted in 1834 and confirmed
by the acts of 1837 and 1853, and the
silver dollar, practically obsolete, be
cause worth too much, but which bad
been left 'hanging in the air' so -to
speak, was ominitted from the revised
code of 1873."
Now let's look into those coinage
laws and see if they bear out this con
struction for if they do the Oregonian
is right in its final summing up,
against the old style dollar, but if not
true, then the premises on which it
bases all its proof failing, that alleged
proof is worse than nothing, and only
hurts the cause it advocates.
It is not denied I believe (except,
perhaps, by Mr. Hugh Gourlay) that
the first coinage act (1792) established
a unit of value, an arbitrary thing
called a dollar, and designated that it
should contain a fixed number of
ffraine of silver, at a fixed ratio of 15 to
1, by that as a standard, nor is it ques
tioned that bimetalism was the inten
tion of this act. It seems to me the bet
ter proved by it, from the fact that the
U. S. was not then a silver producing
country to . any extent, and a high
ratio or valuation would tend to bring
silver in from beyond our borders, but
it seems that actual experience taught
that the bid was too his-h, for silver
was not offered for coinage freely; to
correct this, in 1834 the ratio was
changed from 15 to 1 to 16. 002 to 1,
but was gold made the standard?
Hardly, when the actual fact is that
to conform to the standard silver dol
lar, at the new ratio, the gold coins
were recoined, th gold in a gold dollar
being reduced from 24.7 grains to 23.2
grains, while me silver aouar teas un
altered. To deny this is to deny his
tory, -is it not a stretch of imagination
to think this a "gold standard purposly
adopted."
In 1837 the change was very small.
the ratio being then fixed at 15.988,
practically called 16 to 1, and the gold
coins were again made to conform, the
grains in a gold dollar dropping from
23.2 to 23.22, to conform with the stand
ard silver dollar, at the new ratio.
Did this confirm a gold standard
adopted in 1834? If so, the English
language needs revision.
In 1853,as the Oregonian admits, the
minor silver coins, quarters, dimes and
halves, which were full weight, were
being drawn from the country,
and change was becoming scarce.
France had adopted a ratio of 15 to 1,
and silver was at 4c premium, France
had over bid us for silver, and some
thing must be done to stop the drain.
Congress ordered these small coins to
be made of lighter weight and to be
legal tender for Sj.00 only. An ex
treme measure to meet an urgent case;
but no change whatever was made in
the silver dollar, the unit of value of
our coinage, and yet the Oregonian
asserts that this act completed the
demonetization of silver, although it is
forced to admit that it was left "hansr
ing in the air" until 1873, a practical
admission' that it was then demone
tized.
The financial history of this early
period is full of the struggle of the
people to get silver enough to do
business with several acts were
passed looking to this Mexican, Spa' -
ish, Peruvian and Bolivian dollars,
which were in the possession of the
people to the estimated - amount of
nearly a hundred million dollars, were
made legal tender, and with the eight
million of our own, and 97 million in
50, 25 and 10 cent pieces, made a total
of a little over 200 million in silver
actually in use not simply ei-ht
million as it is sometimes stated
there were that many standard U. S.
dollars.
In J873 an act was passed making a
gold dollar of a specified number of
grains the unit of value. Soon there
after other nations inspired by a simi
lar . power, as we think, took a like
action, since then. silver which bad for
so long been at a slight premium, be
gan falling, steadily by jerks, so to
speak, relatively to gold, and yot by a
singular process of reasoning, we are
told that the scales are single action,
the one side goes down without the
other going up.
Be this as it may, however, it seems
to me that the Oregonian fails to prove
its position by its forced interpretation
of the early coinage laws. Mr. Hugh
Gourlay's effort.whilo purporting to be
a discussion of the same question,
scatters wonderfully, -and seems
more of a band wagon performance
than a serious investigation of the sub
ject. One of his statements; however,
is remarkable, it is where he says that
it is not true that our monetary unit
was a silver dollar," and to prove this,
asserts that it was the "intention" - to
have the law read "this dollar to con
sist of 37 U grains of pure silver or 27i
grains of pure gold." If this proves
anything, it is that Mr. Gourlay would
be a wonderful success as a mind
reader or second-sight man." We are
not told however, how our early law
makers allowed the statute to be mis
printed, as it must "Have been if Mr.
Gourlay is correct. '. ' - -
The trouble With Jjim is that bimet
alism being 'Undoubtedly the inten
tion of all these laws prior to 1873,"ie
fails to see that our fathers took the
most simple and direct means to that
end by placing the unit on the cheaper
metal. The struggle of the infant
republic, then a non-producer, to get
silver, while older and more powerful
countries were striving to do the same,
the changes of ratio aod other means
employed, that seem almost pathetic
under the circumstances, seem incom
prehensible to him, so he must invent
a law for them, even if It is a little
late. He, and his party, while pretend
ing to desire bimetalism, uphold the
reversing of those early acts,' aod are
not willing to try our forefathers'
method under present conditions, even
though such statesmen as Bismarck
tell them we can do it. Pascal.

J. T.

According to invitation each guest
represented by soiiie article of attire

world when you try to think of them,
and how exasperating when you can
not even remember,. Coopers "Red

to disappointment when informed "you
are all wrong."

There appeared in the Chronicle
last Friday a statement that, "we are
informed by a party who ought to
know that the paper circulated by J
B. Crossen the list for the formation
of a Bryan club was represented by
that gentleman to be a petition for his
appointment as register of the land
office, pending the inauguration of
Bryan." The article concludes by
saying: "It is unfortunate for our
friends, the enemy, that they must
resort to such a scheme to obtain sig
natures. O -tempo! O Mores!" But
it should have ended, "O what a liar
our informant is," for the person who
penned the article knew there was not
a word of truth in the statement. Every
voter who put his name to the call for
the Bryan club knew exactly what
he was signing and affixed his signa
ture of his own free will and accord.
The supporters of McKinley must be
driven to pretty hard straits when
thoy have the resort to such subter
fuges as this.

THEY ALL. WANT BRYAN.
Republican. Populists and Democrats
Rally to His Standard.
The call of the president of the Bryan
club for a meeting last Saturday night
was suflicient to fill kie circuit court
room with earnest, determiced men of
all political faiths, who are rallying to
the standard of the great young com
moner. The kid-gloved, well-dressed
gentry did not predominate in the
assemblage, the meeting being made
up principally of farmers and laborers,
though there were among the crowd a
number of lawyers, capitalists and
merchants.
The meeting was called to order by
President Story, and after the appoint
ment of a number of committees and
disposing of the routine business of
the club, Thomas Harlan, of Mosier,
was invited to address the meeting.
Mr. Harlan said he had been a life
long republioan, having assisted to or
ganize that party in Illinois voted for
Freemont and every other nominee of
the party down to Harrison, but siuce
tho party had fallen into tho hands of
corporations and trusts he considered
it had left him and all others who were
classed among the common people of
the nation, therefore he had cast his
lot with tho party of the masses, whose
standard bearer is W. H. Bryan. Mr.
Harlan was frequently interrupted
with applause, and every mention of
Bryan's name brought forth a hearty
cheer.
Judge Bennett was next called upon,
ane in a 15-minute's speech defined the
position of the advocates of the silver
cause. Hardly had Judsre Bennett
closed speaking, -hen J. O. T. Willis,
an old and grizzled farmer, with but
one 6trong arm left, rose and in ring
ing terms declared his allegiance to
Bryan and the cause of the masses.
After Mr. Willis, Thomas Denton
was called for. Mr. Denton, like Mr.
Harlan, has ever been a republican,
but said there was no place left in its
ranks for him and his fellow tillers of
the soil. Ho loved the republican
party for the good it had done, but he
loved American independence moro,
and he believed that independence
could only be retained by the election
of Wm. J. Bryan to the presidency.
The meeting was indeed enthusias
tic, and furnished an illustration of the
sentiment that exists among the farm
ers and laborers of tho country.
The Discovery Saved His Life.
Mr. G. Cailouette, Druggist, Beavers
ville, 111., says: "To Dr.King's New
Discovery I owe my life. Was taken
with La Grippe and tried all the phy
sicians for miles about but of no avail,
and was given up and told I could not
livo. Havine Dr. Kings New Dis
covery in my store I sent for a bottle
and began its use and from the first
dose began to get better, and after us
ing three bottles was ud and about
again. It is worth its weight in gold.

Is He Crazy?
Geo. Watson, who is confined in the
county jail on a charge of larceny from
a dwelling, furnishes a study for the
students of human frailties. He is a
man well to do, possessing a good
farm in Klickitat county, besides hav
ing a considerable amount of money
loaned out. Being thus in no need of
means, he confesses to have stolen the
watch of a friend. The circumstances
connected with the theft are about
these: He had at intervals for a num
ber of years past gone to the residence
of Dr. Adams, at Hood Riyer, for medi
cal treatment, and had been treated as
a member of the family. He left thero
on Tuesday of last week, and soon
after his departure, a valuable gold
watch was missed. A warrant for Wat
son's arrest was issued from Justice
Prather's court and sent to Sheriff
Driver. Watson had come to The
Dalles, but afterwards had gone to his
farm in Klickitat county, hence the
warrant was sent to Sheriff' Stimpson,
who arrested him'. Watson made no
objection to being brought from
Washington to Oregon, and was
orougnt to tiood . ttiver and given a
preliminary examination before Jus-
t'.ce Prather, where he acknowledged
to having taken Dr. Adams' watch and
pawned it in a house of illfame in this
city. He was bound over to the grand
jury, and when brought to The Dalles
wenfwith the sheriff to the house
where he bad pawned the watch an
assisted in recovering it. It is gener
ally believed Watson's mind is affected
as he conducts himself strangely an
offers no excuse for the theft.

The McKinley Club.
Friday evening about 100 republicans
assembled at the court house and reor
ganlzed the McKinley club of The
Dalles. The club was called to order
by President Fred W. Wilson, who
made an eloquent appeal to the busi
ness men of tht city to interest them
selves in the organisation and manage
ment of the campaign, "since it is a
matter In which they are directly in
terested." Mr. Wilson then introduced
J. W. Ivey, of Portland, who has re
oently been : campaigning in Crook
county. Mr. Ivey excused himself'
from making . a set speech on the
grounds that he was worn out by his
trip into the interior. Then Mr. Wi
son stated that the call for the meet
ing bad been signed by 347 legal voters
of The Dalles precincts, and insisted
that the club be reorganized by the
election of new officers, and called for
nominations for president. Geo. Ruch
was placed in nomination, but declined,
then the namo of L. E. Crowe was pre
sented, and before Mr. Crowe could
have an opportunity to decline, he was
elected by acclamation. Tho other
ollicers elected were. J. G. Farley, sec
retary, and A. M. Kelsay, assistant
secretary. The meeting was then ad
dressed by Hugh Gourlay and W. II.
H. Dufur, and finally adjourned about
1J o'clock to meet next Friday evening-.
