MONOPOLY'S GREED.
The rise in the price of wheat will
result in little profit to the Willamette
; valley, since the Southern Pacific Co.,
. which has a monopoly of the carrying
trade in that valley at this season of
the year, when the water of the Wil
lamette "jiver' ig too" low to admit-of

The "national'democrats"' who have
induced Palmer and Buckner to put
themselves up as" secondary adjuncts to
MeKinleyV campaign, must gather
considerable consolation in the turn
affairs' are. taking. Even the politi
cians who are patting them on the
back' make no attempt to conceal the
contempt in which they, are held.
Col. Bob. lngersoll made a speech in
Chicago the other day, and this is the
kindly reference ho mac a to McKin
ley':) allies, the "national democrats:"
"Brother Palmer is a kind of decoy
duck, while his running- mate is a
stool pigeon, and they say: ' We
want to beat Bryan vote for us. And
some fellow in the crowd said; 'Do
you expect to be elected?' 'Oh no, wo
are just running to catch the votes of
democrats who have not sense enough
to vote according to their own judg
ment, according to their own con
science Wo want to catch a few pet
rifactions that want to stick to the
democratic party so as to have it on
their tombstones.' 'Why. don't you
expect to be elected?' 'No.' 'Then
of course you want McKinley elected.'
And poor old Palmer will have to say
'yes.' and then the man in the crowd
will say: 'Why don't you -vote for
him, then?'" '
Whether it is grateful for the sup
porters of McKinley to make such al
lusions to Palmar aud Buckuer is an
open question, but the accuracy of the
description leaves nothing to explain
VERSATILE BUTTER WORTH.
Last Saturday night Hon. Benjamin
Butterworth, - of Ohio, delivered a
speech in Walla Walla in behalf of
Major McKinley andthegold standard.
In his opening remarks, Mr. Butter,
worth said:
. "My countrymen, the first step to
wards a fai discussion in candor. I
think the most essential thing in a
discussion is sincerity. I have nothing
but profound contempt for a man who
attempts to mislead bis friends. The
man who tries to mislead is not a good
politician, is not a good neighbor, is
not a good citizen.""
Continuing, Mr. ; Butterworth went
.into' a lengthy discussion, of.the finan
cial question, holding up the beauties 'J
ot tnegold standard, inougn proiessmg
to be a bimetalist, and also laid great
stress upon the tariff, and asserted a
re-enactment of the McKinley tariff
law was the only sure meaus of creat
ing prosperity throughout the land.
To Bay the " least, Mr. Butterworth is
placed in rather a peculiar position as
a missionary to this coast, especially
when he asserts one of the essential
things in tho discussion is "sincerityj"
since in 1890 he was one of the most
conspicuous opponents among the
republicans of McKinley's tariff
nolicv. ' and for many years has
been a pronounced advocate of the
free coinage of ' silver, refusing
until after the meeting of the St. Louis
convention to adhere to any policy ex
cept the independent coinage ofsilver
and go'd by the United States-'
In senate document No. 235, Fifty-
fourth congress, ' first session, Mr,
Butterworth'9 views upon the finan
cial question are embalmed in the form
of a letter to Senator Teller. -This
letter was dated March 26, 1S9G some
thing over six months ago The writer
alleged that England and other credi
tor nations had" procured the demone
tization of silver for the purpose of
manipulating the money of the world
to their advantage. . "An. honest pur
pose to pay the last poor scruple that
is due our-creditors," exclaimed. Mr.
Butterworth, "is wholly consistent
with a refusal to permit the creditors
to reduce the volume of money avail
ablt for business purposes by one-
half take one-fourth ot the balance
out of circulation thu3 in effect sub
stantially reducing " the debt paying
power of the money loaned to us, and
at' the same time doubling the pur
chasing power of the balance, and com
pelling payment in the money thus
overvalued; that is, compelling double
payment.'
The distinguished gentleman from
Ohio was not deceived at that time by
the pretense' that" gold was the Only j
honest money. "The policy," he said,
"has been promoted in the name of an
honest dollar, the descriptive term
'honest' being used for what 'has prov
ed, to :be the dishonest purpose of
fleecing "every producer in the land,
until the people, debt-ridded, tax-rid
den, monopoly-ridden . and"' mortgaged
to the lipt-are in a state of rebellion
Was an honest dollar mado.to perform
a mission so dishonest?" . i,
Mr. Butterworth then went on ' to
describe the combination in Vi-hose
service he is now engaged in . the fol
lowing .severe terms: "Nothing can be
more natural and appropriate than . an
alliance between tho e- who favor an
extreme tariff and those , who oppose
bimetalism. The triumph o'f 'such a
condition in our country would present
a people divided into two : classes
'beasts of burden and beasts of prey'
Nor did the Tionorable Ohioan stop
hei e, but continued his arraignment of
the classes in his letter to Senator Tel
ler, saying: "I find, that persons em
ployed in the Various industries and
avocations of life, those who Linclon
was accustomed to call the plain peo
ple, and who are the salt of the earth
and strength of this nation, in estimat
ing the character and effect of the in
fluences that have gained supreme con.
trol in this nation,' feel that the repre
sentatives of the monopolistic com
bines in one form and another have too
firm a grip on the legislative and ad
ministrative branches -of government
for the grip to ba easily broken. Their
power in the social cirele is great; in
politics, omnipotent; it is controlling
in business; it owns or controls the
press, and is naturally influential with
the pulpit; so it results that they - are
Tor tne time masters oi the agencies
that guide and mold private opinion
and control public judgment and "pub
lic action; and it results, inevitably
that there is left to the plain people
only a beggarly account of the agen
cies and instrumentalities with which
to.fisht their battles and .protect their
rights." .
Mr. Bryan remarked on one occasion
that the republican idea was that ' we
should make employers prosperous and
let some of their prosperity filter down
upon their workmen, while the demo
cratic idea was that we . should " build
up the prosperity of all. on the" broad
base of the welfare of the masses. Mr.
Butterworth had the same thought
when he said:
. "Extreme protectionists urge legis
lation in the interest of enabling men
to be employed by others.- It would be
wiser to 'so legislste that a cumber of
men could employ themselves, thus in
creasing the number of citizens who
have a stake in the soil, an interest in
the industry, as independent proprie
tors, thus inakin? them the truardians
of focial order and the pillars of the
state. Reducing the number of inde
pendent citizens and multiplvinsr over
and over again those who are depend
ent is not wise. .
"Such a policy hangs all our clothes
on one nail that is. a few eraplovers
and armies of employees... Work for
the many, but profit for the few." '
These were truths six months aeo.
according to Mr. Butterworth's ideas,
but they are not truths now, if his
Walla Walla speech was an honest in
dex to his beliefs. Therefore we must
conclude that Mr. Butterworth is most
versatile; that be has been chameieon
ized; that he has been "seen" by Mark
Hanna, and that the "sincerity" he
prates about is of a very thin texture.
PUOPHETS AND FACJS.
The republican party is making its
campaign on the gift of prophecy and
the unknown terrors of monometalism
That variety of monomttalisiu which
we now enjoy more or less based on
the gold standard, has no terrors for
them, but should the basis b changed
to silver, then by so magic of finance
things unspeakable will happen. If
by chance one will say that monomet
alism will not bo the result of free sil
ver coinage tho angry reply co-nes
back, "You are ignorant. You are pre
sumptuous, You are a farmer," Mr.
Schoon maker would say "you are a
liar." You may esteem yourself for
tunate if you are not called an anarch
ist ora pirate or the Lord knows what.
The men who favor free-silver coin
age maintain that it will not bring
about monometalism aud a depreciated
currency, and in this view it is worth
while to consider what motiomotalism
on a silver basis would entail. First,
as to international exchanges it would
give the United States an enormous
advantage in trade with Chiha, Mex
ico and the other countries tothesotith
and west whose business is done on a
silver basis. There would be no ques
tion of discounting exchanges where
currencies are at par one with the
other. We want that trade." England
has most of it now. Can England af
ford to give the United States the
enormous advantage of a currency in
terchangeable dollar or dollar with
the money of tho most populous coun
tries of the earth? Those people are
buyers mostly of manufactured pro
ducts. It is a peculiarly beneficial
trade. If in our exchanges we speak
the same financial language a3 thoso
countries wo shall escape the friction
and expense of translation.
Here, then, is one inevitable result
of the monometalism and the depre
ciated currencv with which we are so
solemnly and sometimes abusively-
threatened. Does . anybody suppose
that Eugland would permit us to re
tain that advantage whan she can so
easily put herself on equal terms by
adopting bimetalism herself? That is
one way to get international bimetal
ism. -
Perhaps some one will say that we
should lose the trade of England while
Wo are gaining that of the countries on
a silver basis. England buys nothing
of consequence from America but
breadstuff's and cotton. Now, if she
could find a couctry on a gold basis
able to supply her with bread, no doubt
all her trade would go there. But
there is no country in the world on a
purely gold basis that produces the ce
reals in quantity except America. The
same thing is true of cotton.
Then the prophets continue and say
British bondholders' will rush their
secureties in upon us and make us
settle, wrecking every institution in
the land and we might add losing half
the money they, have loaned us. The
facts are the British bondholder is no
fool and will do no such thing.
The latest prophecy, promulgated by
Mr. Schoonmaker in The Dalles, is that
the depositors on bank will rush in on
their bankers just en soon as Bryan is
elected, demand their deposits in gold,
break the banks and cause a general
panic. That is the bank depositors are
going to ruin the country, and thereby
ruin themselves, which is altogether
improbable. This prophecy . when
compared with the others and"" with
facts, will not strike a great amount of
terror among the votes, for " they all
have confidence in the patriotism of
the American popple. ? -
WIIY GOL D HIDES?'
Who ever heard of an individual who
wished to hoard money who did not
select gold for the purpose? v.
Who ever heard of an individual who
had money to lend who did not. wish
to have payment guaranteed in gold?
These two ..questions are . asked by
the Century Magazine, and are offei ed
as an argument for the retention of the
gold standard. : - '.:-.-
Since gold has appreciated and con
tinues to appreciate, it is not likely-
that anybody ever has heard of a
hoarder of money who did not want
that money to be gold, for the simple
reason its purchasing power bids fair
to be greater in the future than at the
time it was taken out of circulation and
active employment. It is to prevent
the hoarding of any class of money
that the advocates of free coinage con
tinued. So long as there is a certainty
that gold will appreciate it will go into
hiding, from the fact that it is a sure
investment. It will continue to be
withdrawn from active use and be laid
away in safe deposits, to lay and rust
and increase in value, but whenever,
by any act of legislation, it is made to
depreciate, through some other metal
being allowed' to perform the office of
primary money, it will cease to appre
ciate, hence crawl out of its hiding and
go into active use. ;
Will not the free coinage of silver
accomplish this end? The ' United
Stpte, together with . most the other
leading commercial nations, usesgold
as the basis of value, consequently the
demand for that metal becomes great
and its value, governed by the laws of
supply and demand, appreciates. But
let silver be made a money of equal
redemption powers with gold, and the
demand for the latter decreases and its
purchasing power begins to fall, while
the price of all other pi operties, meas
ured in gold, must rise. Then as gold
depreciates, it will cease to be profita
ble to hoard it, and it will come out of
hiding and be invested in properties
that are on the rise.
The second question can to be an
swered "no." The loaner of money
most assuredly wants his securities
paid in gold, because, under existing
conditions, with gold appreciating, he
derives, besides the' interest on the
obligation he holds, the benefit of the
rise in the price of the metal in which
the.obligation shall be paid.
'" It is unquestionably to the interest
of the money hoarder and the money
lender that the gold standard be main
tained, but since they lorm ' a -very
small proportion of the population, it
is not necessary that it bd retained
solely for their profit. The majority
certainly are entitled to some con
sideration. Their interests are para
mount to tho interests of the minority.
; IS THIS ANARCHYf
Bryan is denounced by his opponents
as an anarchist, a traitor, a repudiator
and a dem-.-gogue. . If he is an anarch
ist, he talks like a law-abiding citizen;
if he is a traitor, he talks like a Datriot.
In addressingan audience at Sidney,
Ohio, the other day he quoted a letter
from Mark Hanna, calling on the
people who intended to vote the re
publican ticket to hang the American
flag from their windows on October 31.
He then said: . "- -;
''My friends it is the first time I
know of, that! have ever agreed with
tha chaii man of the republican
national committee, but I want tositrn
my name to his letter and alkali those
who believe in the ideas set forth there
to display the flag on the 31st of Oct
ober, because there is nothing in that
letter but what wo advocates of free
silver endorse. Now note what he
says, he wants the fUg displayed by all
thoge who, on the 3d of November,
intend to yott for the preservation of
our national honor. We advocates of
fie silver believe that by having
a financial policy made by American
people for American people , you can
support the honor of the United States.
He wants those to disphty a flag who
are for sound money. We who believe
in tho money of the constitution "are
for sounder mony than those who
want to change our currency into
pounds, shillings and pence. We who
believe in a basis for our financial
transactions sufficiently broad for
tho-e transactions to rest upon, be
lieve in a sounder financial system
than those who advocate the gold
standard and a financial system based
upon gold alone when you cannot get
gold to furnish your foundation.. We
not only believe in sound money, but
we tell you what wo moan by sound
money, and do not play the hypocrite
by talking sound money and then re
fusing to explain what tho terms mean.
He wants those who aro going to vote
for the advancement of our people's
interests and general prosperity to
display the American flag. Myfrionds,
we believe in opening the mints to the
coinage of stiver at IS to 1 without
waiting for the aid or consent of any
other nation. This means the ad
vancemant of the people and general
prosperity, and, therofore, we can join
with these men in displajing the
American flag and let it be known to
the country we are standing by the
flag and that we are not asking foreign
natiens what that flag shall mean."
AN IRON DOLLAR.
A campaign document entitled
'"Present Problems" has come to our
notice The publication contains an
article by Alexander P. Hull, in A'hich
the writer has struck a "brilliant"
idea that of casting pig iron into money.
He ridicules the idea that silver can
be maintained at 10 to 1, and says if it
can pig iron dollars could be made to
perform the same office. He of course
takes no idea of the fact that at tho
ratio of 15 to 1 the supply of silver
and gold in the world is very nearly
equal, and submits the silly argument
that if government stamp is all that is
required to give money value, iron
would answer the purpose the same as
any other metal.
Under the present system, with gold
as the standard of all money, his theory
would be all right. Iron could be
made a subsidiary coin, and the gov
ernment stamp would cause it to circu
late at par the same as copper cents,
nickels and paper money, do, with
something of real value back of them,
in fact, under the beautiful gold stand
ard, bur "learned" financiers have
acted unwise in purchasing silver bul
lion to coin into money. They have
gone to needless expense in trying to
make something out of nothing, and
the taxpayers of the country are pay
ing for this poor finarciering every
time a dollar of interest has been paid i
on the bonds that have been issued to
maintain the gold standard.- '
But the demand of thoso who insist
upon the free coinage of silver is" not
to make' something out of nothing, and
and their contention that the ratio be
fixed at 16 to 1 la not unreasonable.
As-stated before, the volume of the
two metais, gold and silver, in the
world, at the ratio of 15i to 1, is very
nearly equal, hence when 1G to 1 is es
tablished by any one of the leadicg
commercial nations, and its mints are
thrown open to tho unrestricted coin
age of both metals, that nation is sim
ply establishing a ratio that, is fitted to
the supply of the two metals, and .the
act of that nation will be followed by
all others. -
The comparison between the silver
dollar and the iron dollar -has no
weight. ' If the idea of making some
thing out of nothing were tenable,
then tho free coinage of. iron . into
money -might have weight, and the ef
fort of Mr. Hull to ridicule bear ; some
weight, but since this is not a conten
tion of the silverites, his "brilliancy"
reflects his own ignorance, and shows
that his iron dollar proposition could
only prevail under a gold standard.
. IT IS. TOO NARROW.,
The Oregon State Journal, hitherto
a staunch republican paper, edited by
Secretary of State -Kincaid,"presehts
the following expressive picture of the
financial situation:
"For some years tho chrysocratic
press has been having spasms over the
loss of gold by this country, and pre
dieting its complete retirement if the
agitation for free coinage was not
stopped in this country. Now on the
eve of the - first presidential election
upon i which the question is plainly
submitted to the vote, of the people,
we see gold coming this way by the
millions, and England is having fits
trying to hold enough of the tricky
metal to do business with. ' If we 'vote
McKlaley in the old process will be
renewed and gold will go the other
way, as it did in 1S91 and '92 under the
old McKinley tariff, and then wo will
be the parties doing tbesquealing.
Like a narrow blanket on a bed con
taining six boys the supply of gold is
a' ways uncovering one .iation or
another. It is a beautiful system for
those who like it."
KEEP YOVIi EYES ON THIS.
The first is from the republican
national platform, which no doubt
most voters have ere tbis committed
to memory:
" We are therefore opposed to the
free coinage of bilver except by Inter
nationar agreement with the leading
commercial nations of the world, which
we pledge ourselves to promote, and
until such agreement can be obtained
the existing gold standard must be
preserved." ;
And the. next is from a leaflet that
is being widely circulated and pretty
generally published by the gold press :
.'In;J8T8, 1883, 1892 three interna
tional conferences held to try to re
establish the use of silver were unsuc
cessful."
Now draw your own conclusion as to
what value there is in the first promise
For a state that is certain to go for
McKinley, as the gold-standard press
says Oregon is, it seems to us the man
agers are putting forth an unusual
effort by sending their best speakers
into every hamlet and village. ' .
Mark Hanna has no monopoly of the
American flag. His effort to create
the impression that the supporters of
McKinley are the only true patriots,
by calling upon them to display the
stars and stripes on Oct. 31, is mot- by
the supporters of Bryan with ,be evi
dence that they are loyal citizens, and
they too will display the national
colors on that day. Were occasion to
demand.Bryan and the so-called "popo
crats" would be as ready to defend the
honor of the nation as would be the
aost ardent supporters of Mr. McKin
ley. History shows that the "com
mon" people have been the nation's
defender- in tho past aud they will
continue to be in the future.
If over production is tho cause of
low prices and hard times, as some of
the McKinley orators insist, then it is
a crime to be industrious and thrifty,
and patriotic to be an idler.
The U. S. oriicials Murphy and
Grady, who caused the sheep raisers of
Wasco county t-o much trouble during
the summer over the forest reserve,are
now staunch supporters of McKinley.
Comment is unnecessary.
The New York World is wasting
time asking Major McKinley what he
thinks of trusts. They speak for nim.
There is scarcely a trust or monopoly
that is not working for the election of
the Ohio man.
Since Carnegie, Depew, Vanderbill
and Hanna havoannouueed themselves
as the friends and champions of the
fanners and laborers, tho time seems
to have arrived when the latter had
better take to the woods crying "God
deliver us from our friends!"
It is to be hoped the date of celebrat
ing the opening of the locks can be
fixed on Nov. 5th, as that will btfcthe
time when we will celebrate the elec
tion of Bryan. These two great events,
which are to be so boneficial to the
farmers of Eastern O.-egon had as well
be celebrated on tho sarne day.
Instead of tramping, o' rather riding
on free passes, advocating the election
of McKinley, why is not Railroad
Commissioner Eddy attending to his
official duties, endeavoring to protect
the wheat "farmers" of Lan county
from the extorntions of the Southern
Pacific railroad.
When the lion and the wolf pose as

when Carnegie and Hanna take so

latter to keep his weather eye open.
. Hon. Ben Butterworth, of Ohio, is
doing noble work for Bryan in thi9
state, A gentleman who is just up
from Portland says no less than GOO
working men who heard Butterworth
speak in Portland have now deter
mined to vote for Bryan, whereas they
intended to. vote for McKinley before.
If Mr. Sohoonmaker is like successful
in turning votes we shall have no com

Last Saturday Gov. John P. Altgeld,
of Illinois, addressed an audience of

report of the meeting is headed "Herr
Most's Successor-' Since Herr Most,
the leader of anarchism and socialism
in America, has taken the stump for
McKinley, in the eyes of the Oregonian
and its ilk. he is a patriot, and it holds
up the governor of the great state of
Illinois, the state that ranks third in
population in the Union, as the suc

- Less tnan a month ago the repabli

abuse: upon U. District" Attorney
Murphy and U. S. Marshal Grady for
having caused the arrest of sheepmen
for herding their flocks upon the Cat.,
cade forest reserve, stigmatizing their
acts as an exhibit of the unfriendliness
of democratic officials to the sheep in

officials, Murphy and Grady, "have
come out in support of M;Kinley we

Tho Oregon ian knows bow campaign
funds have been raised in the past, un
der the regime of Simon in Portland,
and suiting this knowledge' to the
present, it declares that the , Bryan
forces, who now have control of the
city government, are levying an assess
ment upon the Chinese gamblers to
raise campaign funds. Who is liable
to know , what truth there is in this
statement, the Oregonian that bases
its assumption on its knowledge of how
campaign funds were raised under the
partisan rule of Simon, or Mayor Pea-
noyer, who asserts that he is making
the police and fire departments of
Portland non-partisan? i
it is a . lamentable fact that wen a
correspondent who pretends to give
the "news" will warp facts to suit his
political prejudices. An instance of
this perversion of news comes under
direct observation in tho report of
Tillman's meeting in The Dalles tele
graphed to the""""Oregonian, in which
the correspondent says: "Around the
court house were gathered 3QQ people
who heard the 'pitchfork' senator de.
liver "a harangue against banks, pros
perity and a united country." The
facts are there was nearer 1000 than
ouu pecpie; the senator delivered no
"harangue against banks, scarcely men
tioned them, and delivered a patriotic
appeal to people to unite in one coun
try as brothers of a single family.

THE CRISIS NEAR

An Important Land Case Decided Ag-alnut

Wheat at Chicago Another
. Awful AlasKicre.
Marshfield, Or., Oct. 20-The
steamer Arago went ashore this morn
ing just north of the Coos bay jetty and
near where the whaleback steamer
Wetmore was lost. The vessel will bo
a total loss.
In an attempt to land a boat load of
passengers, John Norman, of San
Francisco, and two other persons,
names unknown, were drowned.
It is also thought that another boat
load of people, including Engineer
Brown, of tho steamer, were lost.
At present such a dense fog prevails
that tho wreck cannot be seen from
shore, and it is impossible at this time
to get full particulars.
The tug Hunter and a lifesaving
crew have goue to the scene of the
wreck, but it is feared that nothing
caii be done toward saving the steamer.
A later account says fourteen lives
were lost.
A CRISIS .l-eKOACIlKS.
Spain's Troubles Are Xearing-
Cnlnil-

Havana, Oct. 20. Weyler and
Blanco will be recalled) Premier Cano
vas will" fall, and grave events will
occur in Spain, Madrid dispatches say,
it is believed there, unless the rebels
in Cuba and the Philippine islands are
conquered within a month.
The Madrid press openly attacks
Canovas and Weyler because of their
inability to check the Cuban revolu
tion. The Maurid Heraldo says:
"While Havana and Now York in
form us that the Cuban rebels are
penniless, with hardly any money to
carry on their revolt, Premier Cano
vas tries to make ns believe that they
have money to burn and sow it broad
cast in Spain and her colonies. The
recent uprising in Valencia and Ped
ralya (Spain) and Cavite (Philippine
Islands) he boldly charges to the Cuban
junta, through its paid men. Every
time a disturbance occurs, the govern
ment declines responsibility for it. at
tributing it to the underhanded doings
of the Cuban rebels. '
"The truth is that there is a deep
feeling among the masses, who are in
open hostility toward the government,
tired of suffering for its misdeeds and
soon to rise up against it .
"The reinforcements of 40,000 will
hardly suffice to keep th? rebels at bay,
and more will bo required who knows
how many more?" ?
The Madrid Commercio, says Pre
mier Canovas is responsible for the
existing state of affairs, which would
bo bettered should he retire.
AUAINST THK UOVERNMEST.
A final Decision . In the Overlap Land
' ' Case.
?San FflANCi3CO,Oct. 20. The ma
jority opinion 'of the - United States
circuit court of appeals,, ip tho case of
the Oregon & California Railroad Com
pany and others vs. the United States,
known as the "overlap land case," has
been decided adversely to the govern
ment. . -
- Judge Boss rendered tho opinion,
concurred in by Judge Hawley, revers
ing the decision of . Judge Gilbert, of
the Oregon circuit, and remanding the
case to the lower court, with directions
to dismiss. Judge McKenna rendered
a dissenting oppinion, -holding with
Gilbert that the Oregon & California
Company neyer had a legitimate claim
to the land patented' to it by the gov
ernment under the congressional act
of 1800. but the rights of the-Northern
Pacific Company still existed under
the grant of 1804, because they had
never been either exercised or aban
dotted.. r t, ,--The
land involved' in the case
about. 200.000 acres in the immediate
vicinity of Portland. Because of the
divided opinion of the four judges, the
case will probably be carried to the
supreme court for final hearing.
. Details of the Van Massacre.
London, Cct. 21. A Berlin dispatch
to the Daily News says: "The St.
Petersburg Viedomosti gives details
of the Van massacre, secured from
fugitives who have arrived at El-Chmia-
dzin. They., declare no Armenians
aro left in the Van district. ' The
Kurds, declaring they were executing
the sultan's will mercilessly butchered
the men and kidnapped the prettiest
women and girls, and threw ceildren
into the pits intended for storing corn,
and burried them alive.
In order to save ammunition, the
victims -were arranged in rows and
killed two and three at a single shot,
The details of the outrages on the
priests and temples, and the' sacred
pooks and vessels, are indescribably
revolting." .
Chicago Wheat rit.
CHlCAGO,Oet. 20. Wheat opened a
quarter to half a cent higher this
morning, in spite of lower cables, the
advance being carried over from yes
terday's curbs. But the market was
inclined to drag. Northwest receipts
were larger than last year. This and
other evidences of wheat coming into
sight everywhere on a large scale cre
ated a general inclination to sell and
take profits. The opening prices for
December were 7 (37"ic. It steadied
at 7 ifc, then gradually sold down to
'6ic. There was good buying on the
break, some of which was attributed to
Cudahy. A rally to 784c ensued. The
market was 77ic at the end of the firs
hour's trading.

TO STOP THE FLOW OF GOLD.
British Banker Will Advance tha -Kato
of Discount.
London, Oct. 2I There is a general
belief here that the directors of the Bank
ol England at the regular weekly meet
ing will raise the discount rate from 3 to
4 per cent, ine newspapers agree in
stating that the flow of gold to America
must bs stopped.
The St. Jame'e Gazette says :
. "According to exchange experts, even
the present rate does not allow a margin
of profit to shippers, so the premium on
gold is evidently paid in New York by
those who are so nervous in regard to
the political situation as to insist upon
hoarding gold. It is obvious ihat the
very rapid advance in wheat adds con
siderably to '.he power of American-! to
draw the European gold supply, and un
less the directors of the bank are pre-i-;ned
to allow the reserve to suffer a
further large diminution a rise in the rate
tomorrow may be counted on as certain
As far as we can judge, however, the
amount of the reserve tomorrow will be
-5.500,000, mid wlien we deduct the
sum of ten millions, which has to be set
aside against the apanese balance, the
t-jtal is 1 one too large considering the
autumn withdrawals to Scotland. The
stock t-xchange was fully prepared for a
rise in the bank rate last week, so there
will be no sudden c-illapse of prices."

The descent continued with scarcely

came higher early, but only reflected
the advance here yesterday. Later

was the heay Northwest receipts, which
were fully up to the high marie last year.

A stomachful of undigested food is
about as unhealthy a mass as one can
well imagine..
What can -be done with it?
There it stays. It (won't digest. It
churns up, ferments and decay; be
comes p' isonous (as 11 putri 1 "matter
does) and causes great pain and deep-
seated disorders.
In order to change all this take
Shaker Digestive Cordial.
It stops fermentation and decay at
once, so that no more poisoos are
created. '
It clears the stomach of poisons al
ready ther. It helps itt turn the
food that remains, into healthful nour
ishrcent. It strengthens the stomach
for the nest meal.
Here is the whole philosophy and
cure of indigestion in a few words.
And what's more, it's all tr ie. Try it.
Shaker Digestive Cordial is for mile
by druggists, price 10 cents to SI. 09 a
