Handler & I'oas are our Portland xitentis end copies of the Astorlan can Ve bad every morning at their Bland on First street THE GIST OF THE MONET QUE." TION. After a man lias wandered along In the wilderness of the money question, trying theories, sifting facts and asser tions, bewildered with the variety of phases that it can assume In. the hands of a controversialist, It Is with as much surprise as relief that he comes out upon the level plain and sees how real ly simple the central Issue Is. Almost all the puzzles and confuses Is born of Ignorance of fast or the assumption, at the beginning, of some proposition w'lildh is at variance with, the fact, says a leading Western Republican pa- per. let a man, for example, come to the reading of an article In the Jan uary Forum, entitled, "The Crux of the Money Controveisy: Has Gold Risen ?" with a mind free from pre-poBBesslon, and we believe that be would be amazed at Che simplicity of the real argument, and fixed thereafter in un shakeably rational views of the Issue that has so convulsed the country. There Is anolutcly nothing new In Mr. GarneU's presentation of the case. The facts which ho deals wlMi have boon quoted and dwelt upon many times. But he has so applied and com bined them that the argument Is Irre sistible. All the harmonious laws which point to the central truth of the money question are so clearly presented In their relations to each other that the paper warrants Its gomewtiat preten tious title. The flint point attacked Is the rela- tlon of money volume to prices. The writer shows the enormous Increase of Hold production In late years, the ere utlon of substitutes for money, and the Increased effectiveness of gold as a me dium of exchange, arising from in creased rapid transit facilities. These t'llngB should have caused the value of Sold to depreclato rather than appro- elate. Ily comparing the movement of merchandise during the live years 1860- 61 with the Ave years 1830-90, and also the product of gold and silver during tho two periods, we get some startling results. It appears that the edlclency of money as a medium of exchange increased l'-fl per cent In the latter jer. iod over the former. The total result of the comparison Is this: "An actual in crease of C2 per cent on tho Joint pro duct of the metals, and 126 per cent in increased effectiveness; as against 811 per ( tint Increase of commerce, and less than 40 per cent Increase of population The effectiveness of metallic money Is shown to be out of all proportion to t'he volume of It In circulation, and that r-ffeetlviwss Is Increasing annually In exactly the sumo way that economies orj made In all lines of business. Coming now to the question of falling prices, we have first this consideration generally overlooked: "Within tho 40 years from 1S."U) to 1S90, while the pop ulation Increased but 170 per cent, for (ln Imports increased 313 per cent, domestic manufactures 820 per cent, wheat 3i8 per cent, nil cereal crops 30t 1 t e.nit, raw cotton 2J7 per cent, horses 273 pvr cent, horned cattle (not lnclud-Jog- mlioh cows) :.'l per cent; thus show. in a mean average of more than ZW ir cent In execs. of the Increase, of population." Ti.ls Is explanation ei, unt il a fall In pikes. If there is any force In the law of demand and supply. I.rtt'Wliii over the general flue- tnr,'iiiin, it i found, h 1ms bwn shown i,;teu tn t'U'M columns, that th of some commodities' have risen Tti lit) outers bave J'ulk-n; thus making It j.. -ji'.lveiy certain that these opposite !; .. ) i .'.i'.I not have come from ( :-.-n t --.wo: and 1enco that the as f , , .1,1 i f e. j.; .!".-a! i;irei'latlon ol ..; ), tit a -;ni..,. of faillnsr prices.

This conclusion If forced by a great variety of statistical details. The argument from money volume and from prices tells as strongly, If not more strongly, against the theory of an ap- preclation of gold than for it. Any one Who candidly examines and sees for himself how the, record of rising prices in one quarter and falling prices In another traverse and nullify each other as far as their asserted relation to the price ot gold is concerned, must come to the conclusion of the Forum writer: "The explanation of the phe nomenon of a fall In prices must be sougfht among those complex economic conditions wlilch arise from the physl cal or social forces to which industry and commerce are subject, wholly inde- pendent of their relations to existing monetary conditions." Any other be lief Is, from the scientific point of view, as crude a superstition as the faith that people could be destroyed by the wiles of a sorcerer, or the scrofula be cured by a touch of a royal finger. One of the most unfortunate, but perfectly legitimate results of the light now going on In Salem Is the Impres sion created abroad that the defeat ot Senator Dolph signifies the supremacy of the free silver idea In Oregon. Lost there be any doubt about this propobl Hon, witness the following from the Omaha Bee, whbh is only a fair sum pie of what Is being said by the papers of all parties in every portion of the country: Senator Dolph, of Oregon, whose term expires March 4, and who wants re election, has a fi&ht on hand, there be lng several candidates for the position. The opposition to Mr. Dolph la chiefly cn the ground of his hostility to the free and unlimited coinage of sliver, In which he has been outspoken and con sultant. He is a man of ability, whe has done good service In the senate for his state, and tie deserves to be con tlnued In the position. The Republicans of Oregon may per sist In their course of violating the principles and usages of the party, at believed In and practiced In every othei section of the Union. Some of them. Indeed, as there is reason to believe, may even fancy there is something to be proud of In the record they are mak ing. To such we respectfully commend the following warning to Uhe Iiepuuli cans of Minnesota, lately puUllantd In the St. Paul Pioneer Press, and which has a direct application to the condi tion now prevailing In our own legls lature: If a ltepubllcan caucus shall not be held In the Interval and fix upon i Republican candidate for United Stute senator, the disgraceful spectacle wll be presented In the legislature on Tuco day of the Republican party divided Bnd disorganized, Its members votlnt for half a dozen dli'ferent candidates In stead of being united on one, and the different factions contending for the settlement of their differences by the Democrats and Populists. The attention of the Astorlan 'has been called to the fact that the pur ported Interview wlfh Mr. Pulton, pub. llshed In Friday's Orcgonlan, and com mented on In these columns yesterday, Is, In truth, no Interview at all, but merely a reporter's version of Mr. Ful ton's supposed feelings on the caucus decision. AVe certainly have no wish to appear unfair to Mr. Fulton, and hence cheerfully concede that the claimed dls tlnction Is plain on re-reading the ar ticle. Tho predicted ami expected has hap pened, and tho treasury Is again with out a safe gold reserve. There Is little doubt, despite statements to the con trary, that congress will now authorize a bond Issue. Like the Havemeyer tar iff, tho Democrats who Intended to die before It should pass the house are still living to vote aye on the proposal to add tho trilling sum of $100,005,000 to the country's debt. "Resolved, By the home of represen tatives of Idaho, tho senate, concurring, that ohcr and greeting bo sent to the member of the legislature of tho state of Oregon who ere opposing the ro-elec- tlon of a United States senator opposed to tho unrestricted colnago ot silver and who is not the choice of a nuijoilty of the electors of said state of Ore gon." uemocralio administrations come high, very "high; but like the Improved sanitary conditions following a visita tion of small-pox of scarlet fever. Un people, perhaps, are so much the bet ter prepared to resist any threatened return of the evil.

Editor Astorlan: The capital of the state during the session of the legislature biennially, presents more than Its usual activity and buiitle of the business affairs of every day life, for at this time the solons from all parts of the state are here to make laws for the dear people and to comply with the demands of their constituents, which In a large majority of cases It wot'ld be better for tho dear people and their constit uents If the sessions could be ad journed after the first roll call. How (ver, the state accumulates large sums If money, and It "must" be again re turned to the various counties of the state; therefore, I presume that It is "Sf-x-ntlally necessary that the legisla ture should meet, and I guess that 'here are other reacons, for almost every senator and representative has ome pet measure, and some have them by the score. Some "have merit, and fliould become laws. A large majority have none; but as Cleeton, of Columbia, says, "Mr. Speaker, my constituents are walling while all this valuable time Is being consumed In useless debate, to hear from me In this house." R. G. Smith, the wit from Josephine, mildly sugfpEtcd that be liad better write a letter home and let them know that ho was here. It has been the good fcrtune of the writer to have the pleasure of attend ing almost every session of the legis lature of this state for the past six teen years, and with a great deal of pilde, I have the pleasure of Informing you that In the Judgment of many, the present membership if the legislature Is composed of men of more than aver a.?o Intelligence from all secltons of our fair young state, and the young men largoiy pr dominate. In the organi zation of the two houses, unusual care has been talie-n In the selection of offi cers, and tho house has been unusually fortunate In Its choice of Speaker Moores. He presides with dignity, and In tho rapid dlcdhargo of his duties, hlr knowledge of parliamentary law, hlr prompt detiidons, and ever courteoui nanner to all was only to be expectee liythore who had placed him In the ex ailed position as speaker of the house. 'The houre Is afso to be especially con gratulated In the selection of Its clerks, Messts. Moody, Hughes, Snyder nnc McOIellan, and It Is conceded by al, chat In ability, promptness In the dis charge of Ohelr duties, and uniform courteiiy to all, they have never been equalled, by any former employes In that capacity In the legislature of the stale. ot the personnel of the senate and iiouso 1 fii.ul talie pleasure from time to time to Inform you and also of ah important Mils. So far there have been liurodueed in the Senate 140 bills, and In the house, and they are still ilooaXnr the clerk's desk. It Is the opin ion oi all l.ere that the Republicans ol ClaiHop have made no mistake In the (election of the gentlemen who repre-iic-nt them in the senate and house. ,-Viiatcr Bmlth Is working stre-nuouKlj In tho Interest of his cuunty (as well as he can in the minority), und has ihe coiiiidencc of his colleagues. Cur tis and Lester have the respect and coiiIUlenco of all members of the- house. and will bo heard fr.nn with credit bo na mljoui anient. Curtis leads In the house la the Introduction of bills, hav livg lli'tei-n to his credit, and Some of tlhem arc of the utmost Importance to tl u city and county. Smith, of Jose i'lilne, comer next on the list with thirteen, all Important measures. I uluill have something to say In my fur ther correspondence of the bills for the aid of schools throughout tho state, whloh are epidemic, and the Clatsop representatives are not to bo left, hav ing Introduced a bill for a state graded ulIiooI at Astoria, and appropriating $10,000 therefor. The appearance of the house of rep resentatives at this time is tragic and crowded to Buffocatlon In expectancy of the first Joint ballot, for the all absorb ing question Is who shall represent the people of the state of Oregon in the United States senate for the next fix years, tho friends of Senator Doiph claiming a certain victory. Paxton, of Multnomah, Is the leader in the house for the Holpli men, with McGinn In the senate. Uuker, of Linn, Is the leader In tho house of the antl-Dolph host, with Ilurk, of the'house, and Johnson, of the senate as the champion of the people, us he adds, and the last three are a host within themselves. iue in me seconu aay or ine great t battle fur lao senators-hip for the state' ef Oregon, und opened bright and beau- .if.. i ...i, , , ...

" . in. ana o iu o clock the house was. filled to overflowing with two hours to wait for the battle to begin. The usual routine of the buMnees was car-'ney i!ed forward, and only broken in the. mornli resslon by Curtis, of youri county, who. with a determined ofTnrt r- v , , ct.-ii I seated, the president of the senate or derpl e call of the house in Joint convention. Representative Hoefer, of ... , . , , Marlon, obtained the floor, and bv ner. mgBlon of the nousei , a ma(,terly effort, placed In nomination Hon. Har rlson R. Kincald.of Lane county, con. sumlng twenty-five minutes of time. Suppressed rumblings could be heard j fn)m a parU of tne hoU8e tnat gom& thing was wrong, and that the speech of Hoefer was a play for time, and when the first name was called, that of Senator Alley, indications pointed so strongly that your correspondent forced his way to one of the leaders of the antl-Dolph faction, and was Informed of this fact, which has no parallel in thin country of the masterly diplomacy of the antl-Dolph manager. Represen tative Scott, of Linn, has been dan gerously sick at his home since the opening of the session, and he is strong antl-Dolph man. Following out his convictions as to who should repre sent his state in the halls of congress, he had decided to take his life Into bis own hands for the Interest of his con stituents, and wired from Albany, in answer to the call of his colleagues, that if alive he would reach the hall at 1:40 today on the arrival of the train from the south. No grander fight was ever made for time than the grand Spartans to whom was assigned the task of consuming the time as their names were called, down in alphabet ical order from A. to S. Alley, the eloquent; Barkley, Booth, iby, Craig, Curtis, Gates, and Rinear son, as their names were called, con sumed the time In eloquent appeals, and at 1:1-1, amid a thunder of ap plause, Representative Scott was car ried into the ball. Just as his name was called, and being supported in his place and In feeble tones, responded to J. ! cull. The name of Frank A. Moores and on the completion of the Roll call t'here was a second time In Joint ballot no eic-ctlon, and the Joint convention dissolved and the house adjourned in this connection. Curtis, of Clatsop, made his first speech In the house today, and was the recipient of an ovation. Every train brings prominent men from every portion of the senate, and as soon as they arrive upon the scene, take sides with the different factions Both sides at this time seem deter mined and earnest. A great many prominent characters are here, and In a future letter during the session I propose to give you a pen picture of them and their eccentricities. But let me say that Sidney Dell is here and everybody knows It. Every mem ber's desk Is flooded with personal let ters and circulars from him. You meet him in the lobby and In the hall, at all times, and some wag has posted a notice over the Western Union counter In the rotunda, which reads, "Sidney Dell for Sale Here."- There Is an ariry of men here seeking appointments In the various ofllees such as railroad commissioners, pilot commissioners, wardens of the various state Institu tions, fish commissioner, ihealth ctU- cers, and of these 1 shall have more to Bay at some future time. The leader ship of the house Is between Long, of Multnomah, and Barkley, of Marlon, with tho chances in favor of Barkley, who, in the opinion of your corres pondent, is the ablest man in the house. LEQUAD. BEN BOLT. By Thomas Dunn English. Don't you remember sweet Alice, Bei Bolt, Sweet Alice whoe hair was so brown Who wept with delight wiien you gave 'her a smile, And trembled with fear at your frown? In the old church-yard In the valley Ben Bolt In a corner obscure and alone. They have fitted a slab of the granlU so gray. And Alice lies under the stone. Under the hickory tree, Ben Bolt, Which stood nt the foot of the hill. Together we've laid In the noon day shade And listened to Anoleton's mill. Tho mill-wheel has fallen to pieces, Ben Bolt, The rafters have tumbled In; And a quiet that crawls around tht walls, as you gaze Has followed the olden din. Do you mind the cabin of logs, Ben Bjlt, At the edge of the pathlers wood; And the butternut tree with its motle; limbs, Which right by the doorstep stood? 1 he cabin to ruin has gone, Ben Bolt The tree you would seek In vain; And where once tho lords of the for ests have waved Grow grass and the golden grain. AnJ don't you remember the school Hen Bolt. With the master so cruel and grim. Ami the shady nook In the running brook Where the children usod to swim? Grass grows on the master's grave, Ben Bolt, The spring of the brook is dry; And all of the boys who were school mates then. There are only you and I. There Is a change in the things I loved Ben Bolt.
