' AS TO CHEAP MONEY.
The organs of Mr. irjlanna speak
- scornfully of "cheap money." The
best thing that could happen to this
country just now would be to have
. cheap money, and plenty of it. The
kind of cheap money that is needed is
money whish can be had at a low rate
of interest, which will not appreciate
in value while those who borrow it are
employing it in business and so eat up
their profit?. Tho want of cheap
; money money that does not cost too
much to use In manufactures and trade
and that is stable in value is especi
1 ally what the United States is now
suffering from. Cheap money, proper
ly understood, does not mean depre
elated money; but dollars worth no
more of labor -when paid than
they ; were when borrowed dollars
that can't be cornered by bankers and
syndicates and run up in price as shares
are in the stock market by smart com
binations. Cheap money is honest
-money, and dear money dishonest in a
country' of law and order and rich
natural resources like this.
. The dear dollar under the single
gold standard is an efficient instrumen-
. tality for enabling the rich to starve
the poor. That is why the reverence
felt for it by the predatory classes is
profound enough to be called religious.
- ' The democratic platform7 demands
.. bimetalism, which is the best scheme
yet devised by man for giving an .un
fluctuating dollar. That is the only
just dollar, and when we have free
coinage of both gold and eilver at the
: ratio of 16 to 1 there will be a breaking
up of the hard finapcial winter that has
frozen the industrial energies of this
new and - wealthy country. Cheap
money, money that enterprising men
can borrow and use at a profit, will
create demand for labor, send up wagos
and restore to us our . property, of
which we have been deprived by causes
wholly artifical, chief among which is
the single gold standard.
, EUROPE WILL FOLLOW. 1
Among the main contentions of the
supporters' of Wm. "J. Bryan in refer-
ence to the financial question are that
"the unrestricted coinage of silver by
the United States will benefit the agri
cultural classes, and will cause ether
nations of the world to adopt a system
of bimelatism. The first contention,
that it will benefit the agriculturalists,
is conceded by the more liberal gold
advocates, but they hoot at the idea
that such action would have any in
fluence upon the other nation's. They
claim that the independent action of
the United States will act to the re
- verse, and will force this country to
silver monometalism, and will make it
the dumping ground for the silver of
the world. This idea however is nod
shared in by many of the leading finan
ciers of Europe. As evidence of this
we submit the expressions from those
. who attended the International Agri-
' cultural, congress &6 Buda Pesth, in
which they say in their letter of con
gratulation to Bryan, that should he
. be victorious, they pledge themselves
to spare no effort to bring immediate
pressure upon their respective govern
men ta to restore silver to the world's
- currency. ' -
The people who comprised the coh
gress at Buda Pesth are representa
tives from the leading nations of
Europe. . They recognize that the
demonetization of silver has been det
rimental to the agricultural interests
. of Europe, and further, they pledge
themselves to follow the lead of
America in its efforts to remonetizo
the white metal. With such influences
brought. to bear upon the governments
of Europe, can any one deny that the
independent action of America will
have its influence upon the financial
policies of the world? Can it be denied
that when silver is recognized by the
United States as a primary money that
international bimetalism is assured?
With such eyidence as this, theques
tion resolves itself into tnis fact: That
whenever the United States opeos its
mints to tbe free and unrestricted coin
age of silver, And thereby establishes a
most perfect system .of bimetalism, the
other powers of the world wil o
'tumbling over each other to . foilo

prosperous period, we shudder to coc-

J!EG IN AT 2 11 B l'O VXD A TION
Every business interest of the coun
try is directly dependent upon the three
great producing clashes, the farmers,
tho. miners and those who convert the
forests into lumber. These three ia
dtistries are the only real producers of
wealth, all other?, the merchants, the
bankers, the manufacturers, the trans
portation companies, must look to
them for their' support; then any
system that will make these .three in
dustries prosperous will tend to create
prosperity for all others. How then
shall we make the primary producers
more prosperous? is the question that
confronts the people of America today.
Will the contraction of our currency
by enhancing the value, or purchasing
power, of our money do it? Will a ays'
tern that requires two bushels of wheat
to cam a dollar increase the prosper
ity of the farmer? Will a system that
causes the price of coal, iron, tin and
copper to fall to less than the cost of
production add to the prosperity of the
minor? Will a system that requires
double the amount of lumber to buy a
given number of dollars send men into
the forests to convert the bounties of
nature into a commodity of commerce?
Sherman, Lodge, Reed and a host of
other learned advocates of the gold
stindard have acknowledged that the
free coinage of . silver will raise the
price of all commodities when meas
ured in that metal, then will not the
free coinage of 9ilver create prosperity
among the three great producing
classes? If it will, then it is what is
needed to set the wheels of commerce
moving in this country. Make the
primary producers prosperous, give
them better prices for their products,
then those dependent upon them will
be affected by their prosperity. Raise
the price of the products of the farm,
the mine and tho lumber camp; and
you have solved the problem of creat
ing general prosperity all over the
land. Begin at the end of the string
where" all our wealtn must originate
and those who supply those producers
will likewise be prosperous.
STABLE CURRENCY.
An unstable currency, producing
unstability in business and prices, is
peculiarly injurious to the farmer. He
ought not to be subject to the tremen
dous agency of an unseen cause which
may disappoint his wisest calculations
and overwhelm him in sudden ruin.
He ought to be secure in the tranquil
ity of his fireside from the curso of an
unstable and fluctuating currency."
This is from a speech delivered by
Samuel J. Tilden in 1840, and is given
great prominence by the Oregonian as
an argument in favor of gold as money.
This statement of Tilden is just as
true toaay as it was when it was
livered, and is one of the things for
which the American farmers, espe
cially those who want bimetalism, are
contending.
SCRAPS FROM HISTORY.
Probably no more convincing argu
ment in favor of the free coinage tf
silver could be submitted to the reader
today than a few extracts from
speeches delivered by Senator Mitchell
at different times in the United States
senate, henco we quote the following
"Can the eight million and odd fant
ers in this country be hoodwinked and
deceived by tho pretense that their it
terests are to be advanced by the dc
monetization of silver and the main
ten at) co and perpetuity of the single
gold standard'; Can they be so blind
to their own interests as to be made to
believe that the elimination of one of
the precious metals from tho circular
ing medium of the country, with the
resultant cpntraction of that medium,
the destruction of silver, the money of
tho poor man and tho workingman,
will advance their interest or contrib
ute to their welfare? To suppose for
one minute that such a thing can be so,
is to misinterpre.5 the intelligence of
the great masses of the farmers, the
planters, and producers of this
country." September 12, 1893, in U.
S. senate.
!'Tho eyes of the money changers of
Lombard street and the unconscionable
stock gamblers, of Wall street are cen
tered upon the senate of the United
btates as never before. Thev await
with ill concealed anxiety tho result
of a vote that will increase by one-half
the purchasing power of gold and cut
down, in like proportion the price of
every agricultural commodity produced
in this country. Demonetize and ut
terly destroy silver.as a money metal,
as is proposed by the pending bill, and
the record on history's page of the dig
graceful scramble among the nations
that must inevitably follow for the
possession of the world's supply of
gold, will be a dark and inaffacible
blot on the civilization of the age,
Then each of the great powers, like
the miserable miser in the chimes of
Normandy, wili cry, "Gold! Gold!
Gold!" and to obtain it no sacrifice of
either interest or honor will be too
great, not even the reduction of the
people to a system of peonage or serf
dom. Let this be done, then the little
less than four thousand million of gold
in the world will become the mighty
and attractive jack-pot for the possess
ion of 'which the dice of the nations will
be thrown. And pending that great
international game, in which the
nation will be gamblers, the best in

This statement is in keeping with
the edilorial statements of the Ore
gonian at the present time" and is a
mistaken idea that prevails among
many. It is frequently asserted that
up to the inauguration of Cleveland in
1893 the United states had enjoyed a
long period of unprecedented prosper
ity. In one sense of the word there
was great prosperity in the country
for a long period, that is, vast improve
ments were made in the way' of build'
railroads and manufactures, but a a'he
same time a vast debt was being uou
mulated, and were such "prosperity"
accredited - to a private business, it
would be deemed ruinous.
The census of 1890 shows the publii
debt that had been plied up on the
people to that date to have been:
Debt of states .. . . .". a $ 228,997,389
Debt of counties 14,048,045

unstable currency, one that appre
ciates, and consequently brings down
the price of every one of their products. '
The farmer that' contracted a debt
when his wheat was worth one dollar
a bushel has no use for a currencv that 1
appreciates so that it reauirea twice or ' mechanic,
many bushels' of wheat to meet the
obligation as it did when the debt was
contracted. Most assuredly he ought
to be secure from the curse of ah un
stable and- fluctuating currency, but
has he been under the gold standard
for the past twenty years? A currency
that doubles in price in twenty years
is the most dangerous to the producer,
especially if he be a debtor, for every
time it advances one cent in its pur
chasing power it requires just that
much more of the products of his farm
to get a dollar. No money has eyer
fluctuated more than the present
money of the United States. There
never was a time in the world's his
tory when money advanced so rapidly
in purchasing power as it has since
gold alone has been made to bear the
burdens of measuring values in the
leading nations.
When Tilden said the farmer "ought
not to be subject to the tremendous
agency of an unseen cause which may
disappoint his wisest calculations and
overwhelm him in a sudden ruin,"
evidently ho foresaw the dangers of a
money that would appreciate in value,
as our money has since we have been
on a gold basis, so that the wisest cal
culations of the farmer have been dis
appointed through the fall in the price
of every one of bis products, and he
has thus been unable to meet the obli
gations he made . when money was
stable and the prices of farm products
did not fluctuate. Therefore it is a
stable money he demands at present, a

It is the recognized
and sole standard of

EDITORIAL NOTES.
If a gold standard tends to keep up
wages, why are people working- for 25
nnd 50 cents a day in Entrland. Ger
many and Italy?
The free excursions to Canton con
tinue to draw crowds to the home of
McKinley. Wonder how many ho
would get to come to seo him if they
had to pay their own expenses?
When the silver mines of the Pacific
Coast were in full operation, there was
a ready home market for all the beef,
mutton, pork, fruit and vegetables pro
duced in Oregon, Washington and
California. Where is that market now?
Hon. D. P. Thompson in a recent
letter to the Oregonian from Japan
says money is plentiful, business pi os
perous and times good in that country,
Japan is one of those dwpised, anar
chistic governments that is on a silver
basis, too.
Of course there is no silver senti
ment in Massachusetts, but the dis'
patches say 60,000 or 70.000 people
were out to hear Bryan speak in Bos
ton yesterday, and when the Associate
Press dispatches confess 70,000 were
present it means over 100,000.
Chairman Bynum, of the gold-demo
cratic national committee, gloats over
the hope that McKinley will carry
New York. Thus it becomes more
evident that the move of the sold
mocrats has but one purpose, the
election of McKinley.
The press reporters for the Oregon
ian seem to have not yet discovered
that there were a "few" Bryan meet
ings being held throughout the state.
Every day the Oregonian becomes
more and more of a party organ, refus
ing to give the news that does not fit
its political prejudice.
It is a favorable sign perhaps, of
more decent methods, in politics, that
our friends the goldites are enlisting
the service of gentle woman as a cam
paign faction.'' Of course, also, they
will have less to say '.hereafter about
Mrs. "Mary Yollln Lease." , They are
always consistent you know like

That there is an inadequate supply
of gold to supply the vehicle of ex
change or furnish a basis upon which
the trade of the world can be conducted
is -very plainly shown in the follow
ing letter of F. V. Taylor in the Union
Signal: .
The. gold production of the world
at its maximium in 1895 $203,000,000
is today distributed among the nations
of the earth for use in tbe arts and in
coinage. In 183 England and Por
tugal, with a combined population of
about 43,000,000, stood . alone as the
only exclusive gold standard countries.
Today .300,000,000 people are urgent
competitors for the world's gold pro
duction to support the sinele eold
standard. That the price, measured
in other products, should, under the
simultaneous demand for gold by such
a multitude, advance was inevitabln.
That one-third only of the annual gold
or silver produced is devoted to coin
age is I believe, conceded by all
authorities, and that the annual in
crease in population is about three per
cent, is, I believe, also agreed. Tbe
eleven exclusive gold standard coun
tries contain a population of about 300.-
000,000. omitting from the calculation
some 440.000.000 poople in other coun
tries who use both ifold and silver

ard ia maintained." . .
while the money question is the
paramount issue in the present 2am
paign, there are other issues centering
around tbe money question that are
equally important to tho American
people, und these issues should be un
derstood and voted upon intelligently,
We are confronted with the proposit
ion of whether the people shall rule.
or whether a few individuals shall
sieze the reins of government and dic
tate to ail commercial and financial
policies. It is not an issue directly
between the poor and the rich, for the
poor do not make war against the
property rights of the rich, but they
do make war against the monopoly
power of wealth to oppress them. It is
a struggle against special privilege;
against the power so to use wealth as
to cut off the opportunities of men";
against the power of wealth by com
bination and monopoly to extract trib
ute without equivalent from the poor,
who are made servants for men who do
not render them equivalent of service
or value in return; it is a struggle to
put in operation the- great fundamen
tal principles of a' republican form of
government, wherein the people, the
masses rule; a struggle for the extend
ing of equal rights to all men and
special privileges to none. In short,
the issues in this campaign are
whether the producers of wealth, the
great toiling masses, shall govern the
United States, or whether it shall be a
select few who flit about the com
mercial centers, and live and emass
wealth off the toil of others without
giving anything in return.
MONEY IN THE BANKS.
Money can stay in the banks as well
as anywhere else, says the Portland
Tribune. What we want is to pet
money in trade. Gold, like anything
else, is hoarded wheu its relative value
is increasi ng. When its relative value
remains stationary, or is decreasing,
there is a tendency to throw it on the
market. We are trying to break the
price of gold, Knowing that this' will
bring it out upon the market and will
make it easy for us to pay private and
national debts, etc. Vorkingmen
mist get this gold easier, and are de
termined to do it. ' Men bow before au
idol because of tbe power it is supposed
to have. Men bow before gold because
of tbe value it has. They both exist
in the mind of man. Just cut down
the valuo of gold and you break up the
powor of the gold monopoly to that ex-
Elect McKinley and you may expect
four more years of uncertainty, four
more years of bond issuing to main
tain the gold standard, four moroyeors
of deficits in the national treasury, for
it is a conceded fact that no legisla
tion to create revenue can pass the
senate that does' not provide for the
free coinage of silver.
A republican exchange eays "Bryan
draws as large crowds, or even larger,
in New England than he did in the
West. So far as preFidQntial candi
dates are concerned, crowds do uot
count." We would like to ask, if this is.
the case, why Boss Hanna is running
so many free trains into Canton to get
crowds before Mr. McKinlev?
"The United States is using thr e
times as much silver as any free silver
nation," says a republican exchange.
The report of tbe director of tbe mint
sbows the Uunited States has $624,000,
000 of silver, India $950,000,000 and
China $625,000. It may be held these
are not. now free coin aire countries.
nevertheless they are on a silver basis.
There is a statute in Oregon making
it a crime to encourage, aid or abet
riots. That statute should be enforced
against the Telegram and Oregonian
for encouraging fire bugs to burn down
the city of Portland. The articles that
have appeared in those papers the past
few days in reference to the changes
made in the Bro department aro noth
ing short of an encouragement to in
cendiaries to apply the torch to the
city.
Vice-President Hobart, oa the re
publican ticket, is the organizer of a
coal pool in the East which has suc
ceeded in raising the price of coal to
consumers. Profits for the few must
in the nature of things come from the
many. The people who pay the xtra
price for coal will undoubtedly support

The Hev. Dr. Charles Parkhurst
stirred up a hornet's nest among his
.New ' York congregation Sunday by
preaching too much politics from the
pulpit. - Parkhurst has always been
noted for his indiscretion, as are all
ministers who undertake to connect
politics and religion. They are two
things that do not go together in the
pulpit. A preacher has as good right
to discuss politics as any one else, but
he should go out-of the church to do it.
McKinley says "It is better to open
the mills than the mints," but how
does he propose to find a market for
tbe products of the mills with the
great producing and . consuming
classes receiving nothing for the fruits
of their labor? By putting a heavier
tax upon them to protect the mills.
That is he will make their burdens
greater and at the same time reduce
their ability to buy.
"All the gold will be driven from
the country by the free coinage of sil
ver," is an argument we hear on every
hand. A gold standard however seems
to fail in keeping either gold or sliver
in the country, so there is little need
of fear. The Oregonian in one articla
says we have bean on a gold standarl
since 1843, aid in another sa s
we have only about SSOOOjOOD cf
gold and the same amount of silver in
the United States. From 1SG0 to 1894
we produced $1,337,800,000 of gold and
81,295,200,000 of silver. Why has not
the gold standard Lept more of it here'
Is there need for wonder at the con
duct of Yale's hoodlums when the lead
ing newspapers advocating the gold
standard make constant use of such ex
pressions as this from today's Oregon
ian? "Tho Army's duty of keepinir in
check a considerable portion of Mr,
Bryan's constituents will not Le less
ened, and in addition we must man our
new fortifications" to protect from the
f jreign foe." This Is the concluding
sentence of an editorial on the strength
of our army and navy.
ine only reined v offered by the re
publican party for curing present ill
is to return to tho old policy of the
past twenty years, of contracting cur
reney and protecting manufacturer?,
under which the favored classes have
become richer and the producing mass
es poorer, liaise tho price of money
by sticking to a ro!d etandard and pile
up more taxes on the consumers is the
only offer the republicans make for
creating prosperity.
A strong man can lift a bi rrel of
flour from tv.e ground with perfect
ease, but a child of five years could not
budge it. Mexico has failed to main
tain a parity between gold and silver
by the unrestricted coinage of silver,
and in its efforts it may bo compared

The deficit cf $100,000,000 in the re
ceipts of the government over expen
ditures during; the two years since the
present tariff law has been in effect is
pointed to by the republican press as
an object of the failure of a democratic
administration, but nothing is said of
how small the deficit would have been
had the supreme court not have knock
ed the income-tax provision out of the
tariff law. Tho income tax was passed
by a democratic congress and annulled
by a republican supreme court. Had
it been allowed to stand there would
have been no deficit.
The eilver mines of Oregon, Wash
ington, Idaho, Montana, Utah, Nevada,
Colorado and California if running at
their full capacity, would furnish em
ployment for half as many men as all
the manufactures on the Atlantic coast.
These men would receive better wages
than do the artisans in the mills of the
East, hence would become greater con
sumers. They would create a market
for the products of the Western farms
and Eastern -mills; then why not give
them an opportunity to get to work
and furnish employment for hundreds
o" thousands of men who, will become
consumers?
If there has been no change in the
sentiment of the voters of Oregon since
last June, it will be impossible for the
republicans to carry this state in
November. Taking the vote for su

the voto for congressmen in the two
districts is taken as a basis, and allow
ing that the McKinley electors will
receive all the vote cast - for Ellis.
Northup and Tonguey. they would lack
6,137 of a majority, but this they will
not do, for at least 15; per cent of the

many in the "opposition ranks" in this

uncalled-for abuse. Both Andrew

New York, Sept. 29. Whether it
may be set down to the enthusiasm of
the candidate or to natural curiosity
that predominates In the American
public, it is nevertheless a fact that th
demonstratioa that greeted 7. J.
Bryan today in this city was most re
markable in its character. Blockaded
streets, crowded auditorium, beseiged
aueuking stands and crowds that de
fied the energy of the police in their
stabality were some of the features.
Tammany Hall, that had made the ar
rangements for the welcome and re
ception, outdid itself in the doing.
Tammany is noted for enthusiastic as
semblages, and tonight within the big
assembly hall the members tore the
air with shouts an3. appioval of the
candidates, of the American flag, and
every comment that savored either of
patriotism or loyalty to the democratic
principles. Every man who entered
was presented with a flag, the result
being that when anything pleased the
audience the crowded hall seemed one
huge wave of the stars and stripes.
An English Syndicate's Offer.
New York, Sept. 29. The Cuban
junta has received an' offer from an
English syndicate of a loan of $6,000,
000 for $60,000,000 payable in 20 years.
President T. Estrado Paluia and the
other members of the junta held a con-
lerence as soon as the oner was re
ceived. Palma was asked what action
had been taken.
"We haye taken no decided action as
yet," he said. "We have received a
number of similar offers from bankers,
who see that we are almost certain to
win, and we have them all under ad
visement. We will probably accept
the best terms, the offer of the English
syndicate seems to call for a very large
interest, but the fact that they may
never get it back must be considered.

as rapidly as possible, and the state

Han Ashore in a Fog.
Seattle, Sept. 29. The steamship
D mat ilia, running between Seattle and
San Francisco, is ashore at Point Wil
son. The report here is that she
struck a rock while making her way
up the straits during a dense fog and
had to be beached. Water was mak
ing into her hold so fast that this was
the only recourse. A. O. Benjamin
and son, divers, of this city, left on the
Kingston at 10 o'clock ' this morning
with all their diving apparatus to
examine the steamer's hull and find
out the extent of the injury.
The steamer lies outside Point Wil

the passengers are reported safe.
A MairuirlcfcbB Mausoleum.
Louisville, Sept. 29. Colonel M.
TWO KOBHKKS BAGGED.
One Instantly Killed and the Other 0e
ISadly Injured.
La Grande, Or., Oct. 1. At 2:C0
this afternoon the First Bank of Joseph,
iu Wallowa county, was robbed of
about 82000 by three men, one of whom
is dead, another is badly wounded, and
the third is being pursued by a posse
of citizens.
At the time of the hold-up, there
were four customers in the bank.
Cashier Miller is in La Grande attend
ing the fair, and J. D. MjCully was
acting in his place. In waiting oa his
customers, McCully had occasion to go
into the vault. When he came back
and looked up, he was confronted with
a shotgun in the hands of one of the
robbers, and was told to throw up his
hands. The cu-jtomers had already
complied with this request, aud Mc
Cully did liken ise.
One of the robbers leaped oyer the
railing aud opened tho private doois
through which the men in tho bank
were made to pass, and then they were
lined up against the wall. One robber
took a position at the outside door and
compelled all rasersby to halt and
throw up their hands. In the mean
time the third robber had gone into
the vault. He took all the currency
and coin, even to the nickels, and
placed them in a -:sack that he carried.
Coming out, he put "everything into
the sack that he could find on the
counter. He then demanded from Mc
Cully the keys to the private boxes,
and ransacked them.
By this time tho report that the
bank was being robbed had reached
the citizens, several of whom armed
themselves and awaited the appearance
of the robbers.
As the robbers made their exit from
the bank, Alex Donnelly, a man 25
years old, opened fie. killing one of
the robbers instantly, and wounding
another, hitting the latter twice. The
third robber, who had the sack con
taining the coin, succeeded in reaching
and mounting his horse, after dropping
his gun. He then made off over the
hills toward Prairie creek, afterward
turning toward Cornucopia.
The robber who was killed was
named Brown, and the one who' es
caped Is Cy Fltzhugh. The latter had
been working, for Mrs. Proobstel, on
Prairie creek. The name of the
wounded robber is unknown, although
he is recognized as having been around
Joseph for some time.
The escaped robber is described as
beine a low, heavy-set man, with sandy
hair and mustache, of medium weight,
5 feet 8 inches in height, weighs about
mmm mm
