, THE BANKERS' , PLAN.
That the monetary system of - the
United States will undergo a jte'neiai
revision, if the big banking concerns
of. the country are allowed to have
their say (and it seems now as if they
will) seems to be a settled fact. The
plan appearB to be to "take the gov
ernment out of the banking busi-
"ne9s" ' and eive the national banks
the sole power to issue paper currency.
That It is their purpose to destroy
. all credit currency and place the total
. dependency of the country for a circu-
, lating medium in the bands of the
, national banks is evident. Recently
.the Chicago Express senc to a large
. number of leading banks and -trust
. cmnmniea this Question: "What
should congress do to improve the
national monetary system?" Here are
, some of the answers received:
: John J. Mitchell, president of the
Illinois Trust and Savings bank, said
. . "My opinion briefly is this: Con
. gross should retire all the greenbacks
, and silver certificates and to prevent a
. contraction of the currency, issue, long
.'.term 2 per cent gold bonds, allowing
the banks to issue currency against
them at par. This would do away
with the reserve fund and take the
government out of the banking busi
ness entirely."
' 'v , E. S. Lacy, presidentof the Bankers'
, National bank and ex-comptroller of
the currency, says:
- "In my opinion congress should
fund the greenbacks and treasury notes
into long term low rate bonds, in'
crease the issue of circulating notes to
national banks to par of the market
price of bonds deposited to secure the
' same, reduce the tax on bank note is
sues to one-fourth of one per cent, in
crease the redemption fund maintained
by the banks to 10 per cent, provide
" for the daily redemption of these notes
at tha offices of the United States
treasury in New York, Chicago and
-St. Louis, and increase the customs
duties to an amount sufficient to meet
" the disbursements of the general gov
,-r ernment, levying the same upon the
protective principle moderately ap-
-phed.
.- .- "The : retirement of government
.'Votes should be limited each month to
an amount equal to the volume of new
- .'bank notes issued, so that no contrac
tion, in the volume of circulating
medium would result.
Bvron L. Smith, president of the
Northern Trust Company, says
."The government should jro out of
-j the banking business by abolishing its
subtreasuries, depositing its money
' " with the national banks, and the gov
ernment should retire and cancel all
'.' ' its demand obligations, allowing the
national banks to issue circulation se-
.. '. cured by government bonds at par.
There is no reason why : the issue
should be limited to 90 per cent as at
'" present.
JohnTt. Walsh, presidentof the Cfii-
cago National, said to be the heaviest
in the city, said:
"Coneress should provide" for retir
ing all government paper currency by
issuing. 21 per cent fifty-year gold
bonds that could be used as a basis for
' national bank circulation at 90 per
' of their face value, which circulation
should be issued as fast as the govern'
ment naiier currency was - retired.
This done, all the silver bullion and
silver dollars in the treasury should be
sold at the market price for - silver, at
tbs same time repealing the law that
, provides for making silver dollars legal
tender. If all bank notes below $10
were withdrawn, I bejieve the country
could use at least $250,000,000 of silver
as subsidiary coin. After : this opera
tion was completed we would have
three kinds of money: Gold, which
would be the- only legal tender; . na
tlonal bank notes and subsidiary ail
er." '-
There you have a complete outline
of the scheme for revising the cur
rency. If the bankers have their way
the (750,000,000 of credit currency,
greenbacks, treasury notes and silver
certificates, will be called in and gold
bonds issued against them at 2 or 2i
cer cent. This little plan of itself
would increase the interest payments
About a year ago, The Dalles Real
Estate Exchange did good work ad
vertising the resources of Wasco
county, but in the political whirl of
the past half year their work has been
forgotten. It is now time for them to
goto work again, bacned by every
man, woman and child in tne county,
A few months since a proposition
was made for establishing woolen
mills and a wool scouring plant in The
Dalles, but owing to the excitement
over the presidential election and the
uncertainty caused by the possible
change in financial systems of the
countrv. this was loat sisbt of. But
the money question has been settled
for a time at least, ard the time Is ripe
for again taking up the .woolen mill
proposition, especially if we expect to
'see it eonnnmmated bv the next . wool
season., '
- -Then there are our supposed unde
veloped coal mines, which, if they
exist, will bring millions of wealth to
this section, and they too demand at

..These are only a few of the matters
of enterprise that should be pushed in
Wasco county, and all that is needed
to start them going is for the people of
The Dalles to throw off their coats and
get to work."- If there is anything like
good times anywhere in, the United
States next year, this 4JJie place to

SUGAR BEET INDUSTRY.
The alkali soil in many sections of
Eastern Oregon is well adapted to
sugar beet culture, and it seems pos
sible that this will at some date be
rnma a leadine- industry among the
farmers of the Inland Empire. In an
arti-ile in the North American Review,
v. Snmirs trivpa a. summary of facts
concerning suir beet culture in Cali-
fornia, which shows this tuber to be a
prafitable crop in that state. 1 he ar
ticle referred to says:
"The yield of sugar boots varies
from twelve to forty tons per acre.
The best land with good cultivation
and a favorable season, will yield
from twenty to thirty-five tons per
acre, but the crop would be hardly
profitaole at a yield of less than twelve
tons per acre. In California the
greatest production from a single acre
of land was a little more thaa forty
tons of beets; but this is an unusual
yield. The estimated cost of prpduc
tion per acre is about 850. In the
present condition of the methods of
manufacture, from eight to twelve
pounds of beets are required in the
making of one pound of sugar; the
quantity varies according to greater or
lesser rich ness of the beets In sugar.
The price changes with tbecopditions
of the markets. About four years ago
beet sugar" from Germany was landed
on the wharves of New York at a cost
of 83.81 per 100 pounds. It rarely costs
now 8 cents a pound.
; '-During the last six years such Im
provements have been made In... the
progress of manufacture that instead of
converting from 4 to 5 per cent of the
beet into sugar, 13 to 16 per cent are
converted now, and the oost of pro
duction per pound was once 8 to 12
cents, is now only 2 to 4. .The average
cost here in 1893 was 3 cents, and 24.

eighths of the states west and south of
Pennsylvania. Hanna is today the
triumphant Herecules of American
politics. Will he undertake this
labor also?
"In the mean time let all the forces
of sound money, from Passamaquoddy j
bay to Golden Gate, democrats and re
publicans alike, "keep the ranks solid."
The above is an extract from a letter
that appeared in the new York Sun of
the 11th, and furnishes the friends of
bimetal ism a subject for reflection. If
those who favor the maintenance of
a single gold standard propose to
enlist their "Herecules of American
politics" in a four-years' fight for that
standard, what is the duty of those
who believe in a double standard?
Should they not begin the campaign of
1900 now and keep up their vigilance
with unrelenting energy?
Possibly no change of the monetaay
system will be desired four years hehae.
If universal prosperity shall prevail
among all classes under the systems to
be adopted by the incoming adminis
tration, uomistakeable evidence will
be produced that a single standard is
the best for the country, and nobody
will want a change. But if a continue
ance of the single gold 6tadnard shall
result in profit only to the few, those
who are money lenders, and the con
dition of tbe masses shall not improve,
then a change will be most desirable.
This, however, will meet with as strong
opposition in 1000 as It did in 1896,
hence if the bimetalist would hope to
meet with success, they must organize
how and maintain their organization
through the coming four years, in or
der that they may be in a position to
successfully compete ' with the or
ganized forces of the gold standard.
Those who made 6ucb a gallant fight
for bimetalism in the recent campaign
cannot now disband and hope to be
victorious in 1890, if circumstances
should demand that they wrest the
reins of government from those who
will go into power on the 4th of next
March. Let them follow the advice
given by the Suit's correspondent and
"keep their ranks solid.?
THE ADVANCE OF SCIENCE.
The rapid strides that have been
made during the past 20 years in the
scientific application of electricity for
mechanical purposes has been the
wonder of the age. Electricity has
been made to perform all manner of
service, but its application as a motive
power has been most wonderfrl. The
greatest -victory in this line yet
achieved was accomplished at . mid
night last Sunday when the great falls
of. Niagara, were harnessed so that
they furnished motive power for a
street railway in the city of Buffalo, 27
miles away.
This is indeed one of the greatest
achievements of modern science. Tbe .
.Niagara falls furnish the greatest
of the government 815,000,000 to 820,-1 motive power on oarth, and now that
000,000 annually. By such a system I power has been so harnessed that it
the circulating medium of the country
would be solely at the mercy, of tbe
bankers. They could make, money
scarce or plentiful at will. - And ac
cording to Mr. Walsh, we would have
only one kind of real money, which
would be gold, while" the government
- would be paying to the banks an im
m&nse annual interest in order that
they would circulate a sort of 'money
that would have no legal tender tunc
furnishes a 40,000 horse power in the
city of Buffalo. .
The electricity generated at Niagara
is transmitted to Buffalo over eight
cables, and the power generated there
is as steady as it is at the falls.
With such an achievement ' as this
there appears to be no limit to the de
velopment of electrical power. Elec
tricity generated at one side of a con
tinent may. betransmitted to the other.
Under the old system of open ballot,
when men could be marched to the
polls and voted In blocks, they were
effective voting machines, In that
'they could be made to express the will'
of a designing . manipulator. The
adoption of the Australian ballot sys
tem baa, tg a very great extent, re
moved this mechanical featupe from
our elections, and now inventive minds
have gone to work creating a device
whereby the elector can get into a
"stall" an rattle off his cholco for pub
lic servants by the aid of a machine
that faithfully records each vote cast,
and when the voting is- over has the
totals all footed up.
The new constitutions of New York
and Massachusetts give permission for
the use of these voting devices in any
county or precinct that may decree
their employment. This ' is . the first
year, says tbe t. Paul Pioneer Press,
in which they have been tred io a
presidential election, Worcester, Mass,
a town somewhat smaller than St.
Paul, cast Its vote by means of 48 such
machines. The apparatus is said to
be something "which defies the tricks
and arceries of the most depraved
ballot-box stufter. ; Jt is something
that cannot be beaten, that registers
certainly and secretly the will of every
voter.." ;..
The apparatus is in principle the
same as a cash register; The voting
is done by simply pushing in a knob
j for each tieketyor each candidate voted
I for. A knob once pushed in does not
return .until the voter 'leaves . the
booth, so that "repeating" Is impos
sible. The machine counts and records
each vote as it is put in; and when the
polls close, the door on tbe back is'
opened and the total. number of votes
given for each candidate is seen at a
glance. "' There is no counting of bal
lots and no possibility of disturbing
the count as registered. It reduces the
cost of election v to a minimum, in
sures absolute secrecy,' and, in 'short,
seems to have so much to recommend
it that it will not be surprising If at
the next presidential election it will
be found in use in many of the states.
Now that experiment has proved their
success, it cannot be loug before the
people of the United States will be
votT&x by machinery.
CLUMSY ELECTORAL COLLEGE
A study of the vote cast for president
In the recent election furnishes 'a
strong argument for doing away with
the electoral college and electing pres
idents by a direct vote of the people,
Mr. McKinl6y receivod nearly a mill
ion plurality on the popular vote, yet
he would have been defeated had less
than 25,000 voters In the close states
voted for Mr. Bryan. By this very
slight change a very small minority
could have thwarted the will of the
majority. In a democracy the major
'ity should always govern, and it would
be unjust that a minority candidate be
elected over one who had not only a
plurality, but a clear majority over all.
W hue we regret the choice of the ma
jority in the last election, and believe
they have erred in their judgment,we
would rather, submit to it, and try
again four years hepce, than to have
won against their desire by an uu just
manipulation of the electoral machin
ery as Hayes did in 1876, or as Harrison
did when bp as seated by a popular
minority in 1688, though be bad a ma
jority of the electoral vote.
Were presidents elected by the pop
ular vole there would no longer be
any pivotal states, our parties would
be nationalized, and sectionalism would
be abolished, Tbe president eg cbpsen
would be tbe choice of the whole peo?
pie In every Instance, and every state
in the IJnion would be legitimate
fighting ground for every 'party. Under
the present system there is little in
ducement in many of the states for tbe
minority to keep . up. efficient party
organization, for tho sesujt Jn presi
dential contests is a foregone coucjur
sion, In. the recent contest, it was
known months before the election Came
off bow tbe vote of the New England
and Middle states would be 'cast, hence
the contention .centered in the Missis
sippi states and those in the far west. :
And had the Bryan forces been suf
ficiently well organized to turn some
25,000 tnore yp,fes in those statee, be
would have received a majority pf the
electoral college against the will of a
majority of one million
Such a result would be a serious
train on our institutions in a hotly
contested campaign, when men's pas

they are wrought to a pitch where they

weeks hence, was elected. Shall the

Beoause a man is. elected to an offi

should be paid higher' wages than he
could tarn at like employment in pri

TREE PASSES.
' .i.'TT . .' !
The constitution of .Washington has
some provisions with reference to pub
lie officials receiving free; passes on
transportation lines, that might well
be embodied in ' tbe constitution of
every state in the Union. Article 2.
section 39, of tne Washington consti
tution says: "It shall not be lawful
for any person holding public office in
mis state to accept or use a pass or
purchase transportation from any rail
road or other' corporation other than
as the same may be purchased by the
general public, and the legislature
shall pass laws to enforce this provis
ion." Article 2, section 20, provides
that "no railroad or Other transparta-
tion company shall graDt free passes
or sell tickets or passes at a discount,
other than is sold to tbe public gen
erally, to any member of the legisla
ture, or to any person holding public
office within this state. The legisla
ture snail pass laws to carry this pro
vision into effect." ' Indeed these are
wise provisions, especially In restrain
ing the issuance of passes .to legislators
wnicn is a common practice in every
state. Of course no legislator con
siders ita bribe when a transportation
company presents him with a pass; but
after he has ridden free of charge over
a railroad or steamboat line a few
times, ne noes tnat ae is under some
obligation to the line; He has received
favors at its hands, and when called
upon to vote upon a measure that is

too often have the effect for whiah they
are intended. The state allows mile
age to all legislators; hence there is no
necessity for the law-making body ac
cepting favors from common carriers
If legislators would be independent,
and consider that they stultify them'
selves by accepting favors there would
be no necessity for a law f ridding the
granting of free passes, but since they
do not take this view of tbe matter,
laws reguUtlng the same should be
enacted. -
As the date for tbe convening of the
legisIature-approaches.(,Mr:- Mitchell's
chances for re-election seem to become
less bright. Through his efforts' Jfor
the election of McKinley,. he alienated
the legislators who are favorable to
silver .and the so called "sound money"
members have little confidence in hira.
Already the Oregonian baa begun its
fight against the senator by question
ing, through "communications,", tbe
sincerity f his protests in favor ot
"sound money."
The National-convention of farmers
called upon congress to banish all
saloons from the District of Columbia.
Of course congress will. , not, .for nine
out of ten of them "smile" occasionally
and are averse uto running a "dis
pensary" in their private quarters.
If the dispatches are to be believed,
the question of right and wrong will
cut no figure In determining the polioy
of this government toward Cuba. . All
that Is to be considered is the- capabil
ity of the Spaniards to butcher the in
surgents. If Weyler can kill . off a
sufficient - number of Cubans ' the
United States will not inteifere.
Secretary Morton, in his annual re
port which will soon be made, purposes
to undertake an impossibility. He
wi'l endeavor to show that the farmers
of America are in a prosperous con
dition. It will be a difficult matter for
him to exert such an hypnotic influence
over the farmers as to convince, them
that their paths are strewn with roses.
One of the possibilities in President
McKinley' cabinet Is Thomas B. Reed
for secretary of state, , Mr. Reed em
phatically declines to accept a cabinet
position, though he may yet eonsen
to take it, and indeed we hope he will
for we recognize In Mr. .ltoed one of
tbe brainiest men 'in public life today
His administration of the department
ot state would be a ci edit to the nation
The gold standard editors .of the
pountry are very much impressed with
New England's overwhelming "verdict
for sound money." Since hew Eng
land has the greater portion of sound
money In her possesion, it is not sur
prising' that she should endorse- a
scheme that promises to increase her
clutch upon tbe rest. . New England
always works and votes for her selfish
interest, but when the South and Wes
attempted to do the same thing a howl
wenwep that the peoplo..of those sec
tions were fools and anarchists.
The Spaniards continue to shoot
down Cuban suspects whenever they
are found outside the Spanish lines.
They are murdered without even the
formality of a trial by court martial
butchered simply because they are
Cubans; and still this prand Christian
nation, the "perfect emblem of inde
pendence and freedom, sits idly by and
watches tbe butchery go on. We crlt-
olsed the European powers for permit
ting the Turks to murder the Armen?
Jans, but close our eyes to tne same
cruelties perpetrated upou our nearest
neighbors. .' . , .
We fear wool growers are expecting
too much, as a result of McKin ley's
election, The recent, rise in price is
about His limit that can be looked for.
Tariff legislation, a duty on woo, will
effect its price bui little under existing
conditions. Eastern wool journals are
now announcing that before there can
be any material advance in the price
of wool,, there must be legislation
favorable to tne American manu
facturer, who will have to be protected
so that be can demand a higher price
for his product before he can affor,d po
pay more for raw. woo. It js evident
that before the wool producer shall dr
rive . any . benefit the manufacturer.
must be looked after. . .-.
It is stated on good authority that
Mr. McKinley very touoh desires the
senate shall pass and Mr. Cleveland ap-

bers of the family took the rat up on a
suovel and threw it over the - back
fence, but m a very few moments "Mrs.
Muggins" had it back again; again and
again was it thrown away, bqt every
time it was brought back. ' At last the
t'.vq compromised matters b7 allowing
tao rat u remain, just outside the baclf
door by tbo side of the step. There it
stayed all - day :nntil- evening, when if

from her mouth. She went np to the

for Arsn,
WaU.4 WHa, Nov. 17. Jame3 E.
Stevens, anarchist ai:d firebug, and
one of the coolest criminals that ever
occupied a cell, is in tha county jail on
tbe charge of arson. Ever 6lnce the
burning of the Abbott barn on May 26
last, and the Northern Pacific elevator
on June 8, both o which were plainly
of incendiary origin, the police and
sheriff's office have been working dili'
gently to fepret out the mystery. For
a month or more it has ceased to be
a mystery to the officers, but having
become satisfied that they bad the
right man spotted they deferred, tbe
arrest until they had: encircled him
around-with a complete chain of evi
dence! Yesterday the last link vros
discovered, and ' believing also that
tboir man was making preparations to
leave the oity, Chief Kauffman, Deputy
Sheriff Young and W. C. Cristy at 9
o'clock last night arrested James E.
Stevens in his lonely and desolate
shack near Chris Ennis' slaughter
house.
Tne particular crimp fpr which Stv
ens is cberged is attempting to set fire
to Hamilton & Rourke's warehouse, in
July, 1S86. The prompt action of the
fire, department, saved the building
from destruction, and before the evi
dences of the firebug's work hod been
destroyed. There is no doubt either
that he was thef author qf tlje N. P.
elevator and the Abbott barn fires, in
which the value of the property des
troyed was about 812,000. '

statement:
"Tbe United States has always ob
served a correct attitude, and it is to
be hoped she will never cease to re
spect the rights of Spain, for which
country the Cuban question is one of
internal politics. I believe the United
States will not change its polioy for
the sake of the Cuban negroes, and
even if she did so Spain will cause her
rights to be respected. So long as I
remain in power I will not make any
concessions or yield to anybody."

New York. Nov. 19. Manuel M
Coronado, editor of the Cuban patriots
paper, La Discussione, published In
Havana, who escaped from that city in
the last days of October, after Geueral
Weyler had ordered hisarrest, reached
New 1 ork this morning. He l ro Jgh t
with him important news for tbe junta
in this city, and early this afternoon
visited the headquarters.
In reply to a question as V the gen
eral feeling of the people living in
Cuba, he said:'
Today we might say that Spain
holds Cuba by sheer force of arms.
Tbe whole country, Spanish and Cuban
alike, desires peace at almost any sac
rifice, and although It may seem
strange, the Spanish element are quite
as pronounced in this feeling as the
Cubans, and wish peace and independ
ence for Cuba.
'It is thought that Cuba again under
Spanish rule would be unable to pay
the enormous war bebt already incur,
red or to stand tho tremendous tax that
would now invariably be imposed by
Spain on Cuba, and another uprising
would, under those conditions follow.
Spain would have to expend great
sums of money to keep Cuba in sub
mission. The war debt now is esti
mated at 1500,000,000, and is accumula
ting at the rate of 12,000,000 a month
"If Cuba gains her independence in
this struggle, and I hope and main
tain that she will, she will start afresh
with wonderful possibilities for her.
Spain will soon Le forced by lack of
funds, to withdraw her troops. The
opinion I express is not that of tran
sient Cuban residents but of merchants
and landowners, Spanish as well as
Cuban. The Spaniards express this
opinion tn private only, as public ex
pression would in-ur-. their execution
as rebels."
