The people of this country are tol erably familiar "with depreciated mon ey. The great mass of them have ha'd nothing else for the last fourteen years. We are accustomed to depreciated Greenbacks, National Bank Notes, Nickels and Silver, and there are those living who can recall the time when Gold was worth less than Silver. All values are subject to fluctuation. The world's standard is as steady as any thing yet discovered. But it is folly to suppose that Gold does not depreciate in value by increased production, un less the use for it increases in the same proportion. "We note the steady improvement in commercial values, and attribute the same to augmented demand; whereas, it is often the re sult of depreciated money. It is a very nice question to adjust the vol ume of currency to the volume of bus iness. The discovery of the pivotal balance is entirely beyond the ken of the wisest legislation. Notliing but inexorable laws of trade can restore the equilibrium when once disturbed. The great stagnation of business in the Atlantic States can be traced to a too rajid increase In the volume of cur rency. So long as the printing press es were kept running on bank notes, all departments of business appeared to be prosperous and commercial val ues and wages rose in proportion to multiplication of -paper dollars. If this thing could of have been kept up indefinitely, there would probably never have been any cry of hard times and all would have gone on swimming ly until the whole country had been thrown into bankruntcv. The limit of the volume of currency was reach ed none to soon. TJie reckless prom ises to pay came near bringing us to ruin, and sowed the seeds of fast liv ing and corruption which have lately "been shedding their'fruits. After the presses had stopped, it was hojed the business might grow up so as to absorb and utilitize the currency afloat. But after waiting patiently and in vain for this thing to bo brought about, there was'only one alternative, and that was to commence the work of contraction. It was first attempted to do this by legislation, but it signally failed. Peo ple looked upon the effort as likely to deprive them in some way of part of their wealth, and of course would not submit. But the work of contracting goes on quite as effectively, only in an other way. The National Banks are calling in their bonds and retiring their circulation. The tendency of tliis movement is to bring down values of merchandise and salaries, and in crease the value of the purchasing power. "While this jrocess is going on, business stagnates and industries flag. The remedy is a severe one, but taken in moderate doses, it will not kill, but relieve the patient, and the country will come out of the ordeal on a healthier basis than ever. People want a daily paper for the news. , News chiefly comes by tele graph. That is the reason why peo ple want a telegraph but we want people to distinctly understand us. The telegraphic news is none of our get up. If it is false that it is not our . look out. We give it just as it comes to us. The " Steinberger war in Samoa" is developing some schemes for per sonal profit which the public will not indorse, if it is finally proven that the Colon el entered into the projects as charged, for "feathering the nests" of favorites. "We await de velopments, before accepting "'the situation" as set down by the New -York Sun. Melancthon has sailed for Coos bay hence will not be here soon. Among English scientific men the "belief is gaining ground that hydrophobia may, and sometimes does, result from the bite of a per fectly healthy dog. Instances of this kind amongst dogs are cited, but thus far no case has been ob served of a human being exhibiting the terrible disease, except as the result of a bite from a rabid dog. Births, marriages and deaths will be inserted free of charge to sub scribers to either the Daily or the We. e ly A store an. Births or m arri a ges, when sent in by persons who are not subscribers to tne paper, should be accompanied with one dollar, which will be placed to the credit of the party and the paper will be sent to the acldress for the full amount so paid to us.
