The letter read In the Republican League convention, at Denver, from the venerable Don Cameron Is likely to create a sensation, although Senator Cameron has been known for a long time to be one of the most determined bl-metalllc, if not free silver advocates In the country. It was all very well for prominent Republican papers a few months bock, when the repeal of the purchasing clause of the Sherman act was pending In the senate, to talk about the lunacy of the free silver Idea, At that time it was thought that the only Republicans In the country who favored this fallacy were those who happened to live In the silver states, and who were supposed to have a direct Interest In silver production. But since such stalwart Republicans In the far East as Thomas B. Reed, Senator Lodge and Don Cameron, none of whom, It Is natural to suppose, has any interest In 1 the mining of silver, and who are, be sides, too high-minded and patriotic to advocate any matter of public or party policy out of considerations of private Interest, it is time for tl'e rank and file of tho party to stop and think. It has always seemed the sheerest folly to advocate free trade and free silver at the same time, but many Republicans who do not profess to know much about the subject have always thought that under a high tariff the silver product of our mines would be protected, along with other Industries; and so long as we continue to do business with cur own people, rather than foreigners, as under the McKlnlcy or other protective tar- in, sliver ought to e J urn as good money for home circulation as any. This Idea is, of course, liable to a great deal of ridicule, and 1b oen to the objection of savoring too much of the Jingoism of "America Independent of the world," but there is good sense and reason in it when looked at In the right way. Any man can see that under a free trade or re enue tariff the balance of trade must always be against this country, and ns long as we contract debts with single standard countries, we must of neces sity send them gold in payment of these obligation Our silver will thus not only remain at home, but will be con stantly augmented by the enormous pro duction of our mines. Under such a system, with our gold all gone, and its value under the control of England and other mono-metalllitt countries, how could we maintain the parity of sliver? This may be a very crude way to put Its but it Is evident Mr. Reed takes some Buoh view of it; else there is no mean ing or force In his proposition to Impose discriminating duties ngalnst the coun tries refusing to accept sliver in ex change for their commodities. Some eminent authorities may laugh at this notion as much as they like, but there aw so many Ignorant Republicans who believe there is sense in It, that their voice is likely to be heard In tho next Republican convention, and it Is not improbable they may have some Influence in the selection of Us candidates. present boycott was provoked by Mh Pullman's refusal to settle the" Issues between his company and Its men by some form of mediation.

I PRESIDENT LINCOLN THE VALUE OP SHAD. The following letter, written by United States Fish Commissioner Mc Donald, to one of our citizens, not only snows me importance or tne shad as a food fiBh, but it also has a bearing on tne proDauie increase or salmon as a result) of the establishment of the .pro posed new hatcheries on the Columbia: Washington, D. C, June 19, 1894. Mr. H. T. Crosby, Astoria, Oregon: Dear Sir: I am much obliged to.you for your letter of May 23d. Probably you yourself do not realize what an Important change the shad has wrought upon tho fisheries of the West Coast. We have recent statistics from Califor nia, Washington, and Oregon which are very Instructive and Interesting. These returns show that the catch of shad upon the coast of California is five times greater than upon the coast of Connecti cut. This latter state you know was at one tlmo one of the most Important fishery regions for the shad upon the Atlantic coast. The Connecticut river which used to yield 300,000 shad a year Is now surpassed by the Columbia river In annual yield. I regret to see that your fishermen have not yet learned the value and use of the shad. Corned-shad In our mar ket would sell readily at 10 cents a pound. With the cost only nominal upon the west coast, It seems to me there Is an opportunity for a new enter prise at Astoria in the salting and shipping of shad to the eastern markets, Very Truly Yours, WM. MCDONALD, Commissioner. 1 I 1 used to say that you could fool some people all the time, and all people some of the time, but you cannot fool all the people all the time.

If the plan of the American Railway Union to bring about a general boycott of the Pullman company succeeds, as it now seems likely It will, the effect will operate as a powerful Incentive to the adoption by congress of an amendment to the Interstate commerce law requiring the submission of all dis putes between railway corporath ns and their employes to a national board of arbitration.
