Handler & IXaaa are our Portland KentB and copies of the Astorian can had every morning at their eland rn First atreeu WHAT A SILVER BASIS MEANS. The New York Tribune eaye there are persons Who consider It absurd to fear that the country will fall to a silver l.naH. Others, wh' realize that the tiling lit possible, do not eee how, and there fore they contrive to bring about the very result they fear. The thing In question Is not at all one of theory about whldi men may dispute Indefi nitely. It Is simply a change of fact, whleri will be determined absolutely y the opinion and action of men In business on both sides of the ocean. The first step, of course, would be the establishment of a premium on fold. Whenever gold becomes so scarce, either through exportation or such hoarding as has taken out of the treasury $32,000,000 In January which lias not gone abroad nor Into the tanks, somebody who wants gold may pay $101 in paper for 1100 In gold. This Is not yet a change of basis, but only a loss of baBls; Instead of being worth the gold It promises the paper becomes worth somewhat less. But the moment a premium appears all holders of gold will try to get It, and anticipate that It may Increase, and will therefore hold their gold In the hope of realizing an Increase. This necessarily tends to a sudden with drawal of all gold from active circula tion, and It obvious enough that the treasury would be quickly compelled to pay out the last dollar and ounce of gold, that It has, or else to refuse re demption of notes excepting In silver. The exhaustion of the gold reserve Inltfht come almost In a day, because the treasury holds In excess of gold certificates outstanding, only about J.'iO.OOO.OOO both of coin and bullion, and the New York banks alone hold nearly double that amount of legal tenders redeemable In gold. Should the treasury decline to re deem notes except In sliver, the pre mium on gold would naturally rle 1th rapidity. It Is Impossible to say liow far It mlfe-ht rise within any given j time. That would depend upon the extent of foreign withdrawals of cap ital from this country, and upon the speculative disposition of tho people to realize profits by an advance In the premium. Thcro are some who reason that, as the greenbacks did not de predate much for a year after they were Issued, so the currency now In use would not. Ilut the first Issue of legal tenders was of small amount, and only IM.OOO.OOO by the llrst of July, 1802, and besides they gave the people for the first time a legal tender paper, which many did not at once expect to de preciate at all. The notes, moreover, were redeemable In gold, and were ex pected to be redeemed as soon as the war ended. Tho paper now outstand ing Is In volume a thousand millions, and the people have learned by yeani of loss and suffering that It Is liable to depreciate greatly If not kept re deemable. It Is legally redeemable In silver coin now worth about CO cents on the diillar.so that, If payment In gold should stop, there would be no asBur- ance that this paper would be redeem able except In silver. And If redeemable only In silver. It would be worth no more than silver coin. Such a currency mtlit quickly depre ciate so fitr that men would give (2 In pajwr for U In gold. Between 1 per emit and 100 per cent, there would be nn rational stopjilmr point for the pre mium, no point at which Its rise ought m bo arrested rthort of the difference in market value between gold and all. ,-r lml'li-n. When the time comes that r.-drmptton In R"IJ entirely ceased, hikI the premium on gold mounts tow trl the difference letween gold and l ilv. r bullion, then the currency will !.;,. !,o other than a silver baals.

Under such clrcunv stances It Is not at all Improbable stances It Is not In the least Improba ble that the paper currency of the United Elates, within a single month after redemption In gold had ceased, might come to have no givtiier vaiue than t'.v; ullvr bullion which alone could be obtained for it at the treasury. The money issue Is totally eliminated from the senatorial contest Iby the ad mitted Impossibility of electing any free silver candidate, and the blindness and utter fatuity of the continued op position to Senator Dolpih's re-election has passed the limits of all patience or reason. What Is the situation now but the stubborn, arbitrary and malev olent determination of five or six men to override the expressed will of a majority of the Republicans in the legislature, and, out of personal objec tions to Dolph, to force the selection of some other man, regardless of the good of the Btate and the party? These men know tnai any oojection iney urge against Mr. DoliJh n.'.ifht be con ceded, and 'he would yet remain the strongest and most use 11 man to be sent to Washington. It la exasperating to this, section of the state that Just at the time when we have -some hope of realizing the long expected period of development, and Senator Dolph by reason of Mb extraordinary power and influence is more than ever needed In the senate, an attempt should be made to defeat him Ibecause of prejudices Oliat have nothing to do with his ca pacity to render public service. What ever the people of bis own state may think about It, It Is the universal opin ion in Washington and all over the East, that Senator Dolph has had more to do with advancing Nicaragua canal legislation than any other man In congress, not even excepting Sen ator Morgan, and It In Incomprehen sible to practical business men every where that there should ibe any serious opposition to his re-election. Califor nia and Washington lliave long been Jealous of Senator Dolph's Influence In the national capital, and are today se cretly olated over his prospective de feat, and the return of some new man from Oregon wholly destitute of any prestige or Influence. Any other ttate on the Pacific slope would Jump at the chance to to represented In the senate by J. N. Doll; and lot the secret of his high standing and Importance there be what It may, Oregon certainly has no reason to complain of It. It may be deliberately stated that If it were not for the false representations that have been and which are Btlll being Indus triously circulated touching tho pros pect of electing some certain other candidate, there would 'be such an up rli.lng of public sentiment In Clatsop county as would drive her representa tives lnt.i cither voting for Senator Dolph or resigning from the legislature. If there Is any doubt as to the truth of this statement, let Senator Doli'h's friends try the experiment of sending a committee of reputable gentlemen down here to explain to the people the real situation at Salem, and they will Boon And out tine secret or u.tuaop county's supposed opposition. .
