The silver men baye been ac cused of jumpiDg at couclu6ions, particularly in comparing the prices of wheat, cotton, etc., with that of silver as being in direct sympathy, so far as the upward or downward tendencies of prices are concerned. Is this true? The Telegram, which is the sponsor of all that is good and true in the ranks of the gold mon ometallists, says it is not. This iB overwhelming evidence, indeed, yet it is woith looking into. Mayhap the Telegram is doing the jumping. It is averred that though the price of wheat has advanced sever al cents per bushel during the past ton days, silver has not responded to any great degree. On May 20 wheat was worth 5s 8d per cental in Liverpool; on May 2'J the same grado of wheat, California No. 1, was worth 5s lOd, which is an ad vance in the world's market of 4 cents por contal, or 2 4-10 cents per bushel. In Chicago, on May 20, wheat wan quoted, top figures, at 71 cents por bushel; on May 21), the same grade of wheat brought bOj$ cents per bushel. It will thus be seen that th advance in the price of wheat in America is puiely local, not supportod at all by the foreign markets. Liverpool Bets the figure that the world can afford to pay for wheat, and unless that prico advances, there can be no good reasou annulled why America can sustain the present prices. At present it is merely a gambling proportion. If the Liverpool markets advance within a few days, then our present prices can bo sustained, and silver will advance in prico to moot it. Dur- ing the rapid rise of the prico of whoat iu Liverpool, since last fall and winter when our poor farmors woro coiiipolli'd to soil at prices ranging from 1H to cents per btiHhel, silver has continued to ad vance. This cannot bo denied, and if it is coincidence, why j it that there han not boon a break in the lino of "coincidences" since silver was demonetized iu 1S7!J? Tho reason why silver must ad vanco with the prico of wheat is not difficult to understand. Down Hi India and Argentine where wheat mining in can ied on elen Hively, and whoso product comes in !. ! !il il . I'oiiipeiiuoii wiui nun hi uie American farmer, silver buys as much as it ever did. If tho price of wheat advances in !.irrixMl, it means an ndvanco in the prico of ttilvcr consols, bar silver or of rx- change, for tho tneHsuroof viduo of our competitor in nilver which, as we said before, bti) alxmt tho saint amount of wheat year in and year out If tho v nine of wheat goon Up, meanred iu g.ld, silver nnM .

Independent bimetallism on the part of the United States would create a greater demand for silver as a money metal. This demand would increase its price, or in other words lessen the work of gold, and not being so much in de mand as a money metal would lose its unearned purchasing power. This country is a silver producing nation and a part of its supply is in demand by foreign countries for subsidiary coinage purposes and for uses in the arts. Give it the old plaoe at home, its desira bility beoomes greater, -and instead of this nation becoming any "dumping ground" for foreign silver, there would actually be a scramble for the amount of silver needed abroad, none of which could be bought in the Unitid States unless the full value was paid. With the rise in silver, the unearned pur chasing power of gold would disappear like melting snow, and wheat, cotton, lands, rentals, etc., would take on their old prioes. Even under the vicious Sherman aot this country shipped silver to foreign lands largely in exoess of what onme here, and this hybrid, re stricted policy of buying silver out right to coin, whiob after made into money was only a token, was the worst and most damaging silver law put upon our statute books, as administered by the heads of the government. An en hancing money standard is financial death to debtors, giving the holders of gold the power of actual confiscation. In the name of dcoenoy and fairness, this nation should declare for independ ent bimetallism and restore silver to its old plaoe. And there have been no jumping at conclusions, either. Eugene V. Deus must serve his jail sentence so decides the U. S. supremo court. Governok Hughes is to bo re moved as governor of Arizona. He has been found guilty of irregularities in money matters, as well as of tho political crimo of nep. otism. He apnoiutod his whole amily to positions. The Oregonian gloats over the decision of tho supremo court iu tho Debs caso. Wo cannot praise this action which is one more tstcp towards tho docrodation of the lommon people of tho land.

CHAPTER VII. "Ef you ken only do it, my friend," said Jerry id SDswer .to Grant Rogers' stHtement that he was able to help him out of bis finanoinl dilemma, "I would be willin' to give you mos' anything, evpn to the hand of my darter, Mirandy, pervidin, ov course, thet she'd cept ve an' ye'd oept her, and things waz 'greeable on both sides." Grant smiled sweetly at Mirandy and Jhat young ludy blushing deeply, at what she considered her father's matri monial proposition, tripped kittishly out of the room, holding her calico apron before her faoe to hide her em barrassment. Grant was somewhat taken aback at Jerry's kindly meant, but not highly appreciated, matrimonial intentions, and seeing that he had created a favor able impression on the elder Judkins' determined to brave the storm and make the best of the situation. "Well," answered Grant, "I have never thought mnoh of matrimony bs yet, but I should say that if I ever expect to take unto myself a helpmate aud one who would surround my life with love and encouragement it is about time I was giving the matter some serious thonght ere it is too late and I Am counted out altogether in the matri monial line as a back number, for I am now approaohing the shady side of forty." "Yes," answered Mrs. Judkins, "it's no mor'n rite thet evr'y man an' woman shuld be mated, bu' Mirandy, ef I do say it myself would make a wife thet euy man mouuht feel proud uv. Mirandy is goin' onto 18 now an' a better'n more helpful girl neyer lived, ef I du say it myself, seeiu's she's my darter." "But, Mr. Judkins, in regard to the matter of my being of aid to you in a peouniary way," broke in Grant who did not wish to allow matters of a matrimonial nature to come to a crisis, at least, at present. "Oh, yes!" answered Jerry, "as you wuz a say in', Mr. Rigers, thet you oould help me, an' ef 'taint askin' too much, I'd like for you to tell me an' wife 'bout it, an' ef it looks right an' honest we'll toller yer advice to the letter." "You need have no fear as to the up rightness und honesty of my proposition, Mr. Judkins, for I am representing a thoroughly reliable, and, ac the same time, one of the most prosperous, pro gressive and prominent business con cerns of lleppner, and any infringement ou veracity or misrepresentation of facts by one of their agents would be met by tho firm with a prompt dismissal of the guilty employe," answered Grant. Wa'll, I du believe as how you're an' honest man, Mr. Rogers, an' will listen tentively to what you've got to say," replied Mrs. Judkins " "As yon kuow," oouliuund Grant, "I am representing thegeueritl merchandise and fiiniiHhing hoiine of Horner & Rhea, HiifoeHKors to Ilntuur & Wan en, of lleppner, who carry mm of the most complete slocks ever brought to Morrow county.
