SUCH A GOOD MEMORY.
Says The Dalles Chronicle: "We
have a distinct recollection that
many years ago the editor of the
Oregonian was appointed collector
of customs at Portland through
the efforts of Senator Mitchell."
Singular how distinct the recol
lection of some persons is, as to
imaginary facts, retorts the Ore
gonian. The real fact, however,
is that the editor of the Oregonian
was appointed collector of customs
at Portland, not through the
efforts of Mr. Mitchell, but upon
the recommendation of Senators
Williams and Corbett, two years
before Mr. Mitchell's first election
to the senate. Perhaps, however,
the misrepresentation of The
Dalles paper is not important
enough to be worth correction.
Siuce the memory of the editor
of the Oregonian is so good, the
editor of the Gazette would like
to enquire whether or not he was
removed from that position for
dishonesty indictable offenseB at
that and if it is not a fact that
Senator Mitchell interceded in his
behalf to prevent Scott being
prosecuted and punished by a
term in the penitentiary. The
Gazette desires to keep in touch
with the events of the past and
hopes that it may get some light
on the subject.

Credit For Farmers.
We have lately given some account at
tbe operation of agricultural banks in
Europe, which have done very much for
tbe farming class by making it possible
for it to secure loans on such security as
farmers can offer. The farmer is espe
cially in need of credit, for the interval
must always be considerable between
the preparation of the soil and the har
vesting of the crop. He must spend
money a long time before he can get
any back. As to most of his products, he
may be said to be carrying on a busi
ness where the stock is turned over but
once a year. Furthermore, as a crop
matures all over the country at the same
season, and generally within a period of
a few weeks, it is particularly impor
tant to tbe farmer that be should not be
compelled to realize on bis harvests im
mediately. He would break the market
if he were obliged to sell all his crops
as soon as gathered, and yet be must
sell a good deal, for he has been under
expense for months without any income.
While the farmer more than almost
any other producer needs credit, he can
not generally offer commercial security,
and real estate is not a good security for
ordinary banks of discount to take, and
it is unlawful for our national banks to
accept it The result is that the farmer
is usually compelled to sell his produce
at an unpropitious time or to get credit
of merchants and private bankers for
which usurious rates are obtained. In
this country there has been practically
no effort to supply this need for agricul
tural credits, although the brokers and
private bankers and factors who have
made a practice of lending to farmers
have made a great deal of money out of
it, for tbe absence of competition en
ables them to get a high rate for money,
and the farmer pretty generally pays his
debts.
It is singular that in out own country
no effort baa been made to afford agri'
culture in general the capital it needs
for the improving of land and for carry
ing on farm operations during the long
intervals between the annual marketing
of crops. The changed conditions of the
times make it imperative that farming
must be conducted upon more scientific
principles so as to get out of the land
more than it has heretofore produced,
and that necessity leaves no alternative
but either to afford the farmer enlarged
credit facilities or to leave the present
landholders to be frozen out by insolv
ency, with the result of transferring this
industry to a class possessing ampler
means and able to cultivate larger farms
unon improved methods. Journal of

A Movement For Currency Reform.
The Mussachnsctta Iti.form clnb of
tiostou has commenced a systematic
movement for practical curreuoy reform.
It bas recently passed formal resolutions
deniuuding that congress shall adopt
some sure plan "whereby our legal ten
der pnper and silver and our silver cer
tificates shall be slowly withdrawn, and
gold, gold certificates and bank notes
shall gradually take tboir places. " Tbey
further advocate "such legislation at
will encourage the establishment and
successful operation of small bsukt with
local cupital and knowledge of credits."
These resolutions aro being ennt
throughout the country, accompiuiied by
statement setting forth the views of
the club and requesting every friend
of currency reform to sign the resolu
tions and tend them to congress.
This movement is exactly iu liuo with
the action of the Indianapolis confer
ence, which was to impress cougreat
with the fact that there is an over
whelming publio sentiment in fuv( of
currency reform. Chicago Times-Herald.

there was very little money, and people
used bar lead, bullets and tobacco for
change. Finally Uncle Sam, who was a
rather nnnsnal character, read a pas
sage in one or Aristotle s worits in re
gard to the invention of money, that "it
was afterward determined in value by
men putting a stamp on it in order
tbat it may save them tbe trouble of
weighing it."
So Uncle Sam built a stamping ma
chine which would stamp out an Eng
lish penny's worth of lead and was worth
a pint of milk, as be was then sell
ing milk. These checks proved to be
quite convenient People fonnd them
all lull weight, and Uncle Sam's work
men and servants took their pay in
them. People also sold him their cows
for them, and Uncle Sam sold milk for
them. Sometimes the people used the
lead coins for bullets and for weights,
but Uncle Sam didn't care very much.
Although it did cost him something to
coin them, be had passed them at their
lead value. In fact, Uncle Sam would
exchange coins for bar lead at any time,
weight for weight, as a matter of pub
lio convenience. Some other people
made coins in a mold occasionally, but
people generally weighed them in order
to find whether they were as heavy as
Uncle Sam's coins. Uncle Sam said he
didn't care how many coins they made,
and he would take them himself if they
were full weight
A lead mine was discovered not very
far from Uncle Sam's, and lead went
down in price to about, half what it had
been. A great many people wbo had
some oi Uncle Ham's lead began to
wonder what he was going to do about
the matter. The checks were worth on
ly a halfpenny now. They discovered
that Uncle Sam was still receiving
them for a penny's worth of milk and
that he was continuing to pay them out
to his workmen just as before.
His business was enlarging, and he
was stamping out these checks in larger
numbers than ever. People sold him
hay and cows for them at the same rate,
for be had said that be intended to
maintain the parity of his checks and
the penny. People didn't use his checks
for bullets now, for bar lead cost only
half as much. And Uncle Sam request
ed his friends not to make any of these
checks out of bar lead, for he didn't
like to accept halfpenny checks for a
penny unless he bad passed them off on
the publio for a penny's worth of labor.
The next thing of note that happened
to Uncle Sam was this: The people who
owned tbe lead mine heard about his
scheme, and they got np a convention
in order to see if something conldn't be
done. for lead. They wanted to get the
good old prices. Tbey proposed that
Uncle Sam should coin the whole out
put of their mine free and let them cart
away the checks, since they owned the
lead. Tbey tried to make Uncle Sam be
lieve that this would double the price
of lead and he could go right on doing
business as if nothing had happened.
There was also some talk to the effect
that people couldn't pay their debts un
less they could get some cheap money
to pay with.
'Ibe working people were getting a
penny a day, and many oi them
thought these lead pennies they were
getting were too good and would buy
too much at tbe stores. They joined
the free coinage movement in order to
get a cheap penny which wonld bur on'
ly half as much as the present penny,
with a view of restoring lead to its old
price, so people could pay their debts in
cheap money. They said they would
trust to luck to get their wages doubled.
Some of the wiser one shook their
beads and said Uncle Sam certainly
couldn't carry the whole lead output at
twice its market value. Tbey were
confident that if he shonld attempt to
do so the lead coins would toon pass at
their junk value. This would upset
credits and business and ruin the whole
community

story and learn how tbe tangle was set

nual message sent to congress and in
each inaugural address."
So far from being a "settlement'
the bill invited agitation. bhouia
it fail to create tbe abundanoe of
circulation expected of it, the friends
of the measure, particularly those out
of congress, would clamor for such
inflation as would give the expect
ed relief." And he defined his general
principle in these pregnant words, "I
am not a believer in any artificial meth
od of making paper money equal to
coin when the coin is not owned or
held ready to redeem the promises to
pay, for paper money is nothing more
than promise to pay and is valuable ex
actly in proportion to the amount of
coin tbat it can' be converted into."
The monetary battles of this country
are not yet all fought Grant's words
and acts should inspire those engaged in
the present struggle.
Our Monetary Disease.
To safely and permanently maintain
tbe gold standard requires the remod
eling of our finances. The disease is the
character of the money in tbe treasury
and in the pockets of the people. It is
in a banking system which congests cur
rency in commercial centers while cre
ating a dearth in country districts,
which issues a currency which cannot
expand when it ought and can when
there is no necessity. It is in compel
ling the maintenance of 1100,000,000
gold reserve to float a vast volume of
paper money by the government, which
cannot regulate its issues to meet the
needs of commerce.
The disease cannot be cured by any
makeshift. Senator Donelson Caffery.
CLIMATE AND CHARACTER.
National Traits Often Molded by tha Na
ture of the Weather.
The civil war is said to have been
caused by a difference in climate, and
the question is now being discussed
whether a hot or cold climate has the
greatest effect on national character.
It has been widely believed that a se
vere climate produces the greatest ef
fect, because it compels effort and self
denial, and thus promotes energy and
inventiveness, says the New York Jour
r.al.
It would also seem that the influence
of climate upon the national character
has been greatly exaggerated. As
syria, Babylonia, Egypt and Carthage,
situated in hot latitudes, were among
the most masterful nations of antiq
uity. Mohammed and his conquering
legions issued from the burning wilder
ness of Arabia, and at a later period his
successors were able to beat back the
repeated attacks of the combined cru
sading nations from the north.
The greatness of a nation depends
mainly upon intellectual and moral
qualities, and' these have often been
conspicuously developed among the in
habitants of hot climates, it is im
portant, too, to remember that the
same, nation, occupying the same re
gion, may be great and powerful in one
age and weak and contemptible in an
other. The difference between the an
cient Greeks, Romans and Saracens, on
the one hand, and their modern de
scendants on the other, cannot havo
been due to climate.

Silverites Should Drop Jefferson.
It is in vain to invoke the authority
of Jefferson for the coinage of 60 cent
dollars or any other debasement of the
currency. Our ' neo - Democratic"
friends, if they wish to vindicate their
claim to the title of ' 'old line Dem
ocrats," who have Jefferson for their
father, will have to abandon their idea
of free coinage at the ratio of 16 to 1
or any other arbitrary rate, but if they
will have a double standard make it 83
to 1, in order to be honest in the pay
ment of debts and to conform to the ac
tual ratio in tbe value of the two met
als in the markets of the world, it be
ing, as Jefferson says, "a mercantile
problem altogether." Baltimore Sun.
The Wage Earner's Interest.
Appreciation of the dollar in which
wages are paid and consequent lower
prices are constantly and certainly to

Simple ami Direct Method Employed by
the Nea Fercee Indians.
An old custom was revived by the
Nez Perces Indians and their visitors
during the celebration on the last
Fourth of July, says the Morning Ore
gonian. The natives of the local tribe
are very wealthy people, and there are
designing mothers among the aborig
ines as well ns in the different classes
of civilized society. The young bucks
of the Nez Perces tribe pre regarded
somewhat like the scions of royalty in
matrimonial circles. The maidens from
all visiting tribes were brought to Lap
wai to find husbands. The customs of
the tribes, which were revived for the
occasion, were more effective than the
Boston man's way.
The marriageable maidens were by
common accord quartered in a selected
spot in the valley of the Lnpw ui. At an
appointed hour the young men who
wanted wives to share their annuities,
their homesteads and the affections of
their hearts appeared in procession on
the hallowed camp ground. The hour
was midnight, and the scene was In a
grove of trees made fragrant b the
wild flowers, and every heart danced to
the music of the rippling waters. The
young men marched forth, and none
but candidates for matrimony joined
the march. They were dressed in their
lirifi-htest colors, and each earned n
