P." They gave as a reason for their objections that such statements would drive people sway from Clatsop beach this coming Bummer. If the correspondent was wrong In his assertions, it Is an easy matter for the management of that road to prove It, but If 'the road Is really in a dangerous ar.d unsafe condition, the travelling pub lic tliould know It. During the summer time 'ihouEan'du of people titivel to and fr:m the Clatewp resorts, and the very be i: protection should ba given them. It Is hardly possible that any man con neste.1 wltih the directory of the Seashore road would knowingly allow it to go into S;ivpxlr, as to prove dangerous to the lire mi J limb of those patronizing it; but there is euch a thing as a failure to look after the condition of property through thoughtlessness, or more properly, care lersnooa.

Scores af thousands of farmers nave been misled Into the silver erase because it seemed to have been demonstrated to them that wheat was depressed In price by the demonetization of silver, The farmers were told that wlieat and silver had declined together; that the low prices of the farmers' products were flue to the depreciation of silver. Facts and figures conclusively refute Wild political theories. Silver never was demonetized by the government until, for mors than a generation, the people them- selves, by their united action, had ellm. Inated It from our circulating medium excepting for subsidiary coin. The allega tlon that silver was depreciated In value by Its alleged demonetization In 1873, Is conclusively answered by the fact that since that period we have coined and put Into circulation, either In coin or by paper representing It, fifty times the entire amount of silver dollars coined during the entire existence of the government before 1873, and today we have three times mors legal tender silver dollars In use In the United States than there ever were at any period in our past history. With all these efforts of the government to sus tain silver It has depreciated and the far mers have been deceived Into the bellct that their wheat has decHned becau, the government rejected silver as a cir culating medium. A few months ago the farmers' wheat was worth per bushel Just about the In trlnslc value of the silver dollar; that Is a little over fifty cents, and the howi was universal from one end of the coun try to the other from every blatant free fiver demagogue that wheat and silver declined together. Today the farmers' wheat la worth nearly eighty cents per bushel, and silver la worth no more than It was when wheat was worth fifty-five cents. Both are commodities In the mar ket, regulated by Inexorable laws or supply and demand, ond the farmers ot ths nation must see today now they have been fatoely appealed to In behalf of the Cheap money craze. The price of wheat and the price ot silver have nothing to do with each other When either la produced in excess of the demand the price will be diminished; when the supply of either Is Insufficient to the demand the market value will In crease, and no political theories or legis lation can prevent It. The farmers have a plain object lesson of the falsity and demagogic purpose of the free silver erase by the largely enhanced value of whiut without In any way affecting the price ot silver, his authority In a most excellent and praiseworthy manner. His late visit to the Upper Clackamas and his painstak ing efforts on that trip to assist the can nerymen in every possible way, have brought from them a very well deserved vote of thanks. The Astorlan desires to announce Its hearty approval of this vW, and to Bay thoJt Mr. McGulre's efforts for the preservation of food fish are al ready bringing about results that will be far-reaching and most beneficial. PRICES AND GOLD SINCE 1S73. The Income tax was an essential part of ths free trade scheme for substituting direct taxes on the people of the United States for the system of indirect taxa tion, which was largely levied on ths foreigner. It was not surprising, there, fore, that Senator Morgan, when this dream of free trade doctrinaires had been rudely shattered by the supreme court, wrathfully declared that It "leaves tht taxing powers of the government in a state of wreck." Of course it does noth ing of the kind. It leaves the taxing pow ers of tha government Just what they always have been; powers found ampU to provide for all the necessities of the government In any emergency, and espe cially in time of peace, until the Demo, cratlc party came into power tn 1892 upon a platform which denied the constltn tlonaMty of the moat Important ot these taxing powers, In the continued exercise of which the government had been car ried on for over a hundred years. The only taxing power of the government which It leaves in a state of wreck are those which ths Democratic party In voked to supercede the methods of tax ation which have been relied upon from the dawn of the republic to the days ot Cleveland, not only as the chief source of national revenues, but as the main Instrument of national development. By reverting to the proper use of these taxing powers upon the products ot for-, sign tabor competing with those of Amer ican Industry there would be no necessity of devising new schemes of Internal taxa tion to take the place of the Income tax. The Republican party has always found that this power of taxing the foreigner for the benefit of the home producer was ample for all revenue necessities of the government In time of peice. It Is only the Democratic party, which proposed to tax the American people for the benefit of the foreigner, and find an unexpected constitutional obstacle in the way of tne ciitw, whisc Icsicrs d?em tn "taxing powers of the government In a etate of wrack." It Is no wonder they are mad about It. Too much emphasis cannot be put upon the truth that counters and the things to be counted are vastly different things. Once stinted, It seems as pluln as a Dike- staff. But it is one of the very common est of all fallacies ait this hour for people to suppose; that lack of means, or wealth. is attributable to a lack of money. Many persons actually think that If they are unfortunate or poor or unsuccessful In regard to this world's goods, It Is because of the ailSince of a proper supply of money, to be eure, they would at once understand that growing corn or cotton depends upon the soil and seasons, upon rain and proper heat, upon skill and Judgment, upon the necessary seeding and waiting, upon the selection of proper soil and all such things. Then they eee at once that the quantity of money goinn about does not affect the yield of the cot ton or tne corn crop. Of course no. Then what do they mean? Perhaps that a change In the supply of money may mnke a difference In the level of prices. This Is the only possible basis of the be lief. And yot It was fully shown in these col umns that amy Increase In the money which really affected Its value andl raised prices would affect both the goods bought by the producer as well as the goods he sellB. And that he would really be no better off than before. The only possible gain by a change of nrlceB. how ever, would be the one by which, if prices rose, Indebtedness could be more easily paid off. Hut on this point It becomes perfectly clear If tho poor try to raise prices merely to scale Indebtedness, then the rich would be equally warranted In trying to lower prices to increase Indebt edness. That Is a kind of contest In which, If entered upon, the rich are more likely to get the advantage. That Is not to be recommended. Hence, on any possible ground, it will be uspIofs or wrong to try to tamper wllh the value of the standard In which the prices ot goods aro expressed. But yet It may be seriously believed Chut prices have already been depressed by the creditor class In order to Increase the load of Indebtedness on the people. It is Bniu .mat tne act or wis established a standard of gold, that gold Is Insufllcleni In supply, and that prices estimated In gold have consequently fallen. Tho reader will, however, recall that gold has beon the standard In which, prices have been expressed since soon after 1834 (with the exception of tho period of depreciated paper money, 1S(B-187!)) to date, nd that no silver was driven out by the net ot 1873. There was, therefore, no contrite. tlon whatever of our circulation since 1873. in fact, since resumption of specie payments In 1870, the amount of our cir culation hns steadily expanded. There Is more gold and silver by over $1,00(1,. 000,0000 In circulation In the United States today than in 1873. And It has been ehown that the phenom ena production of gold since 18C0 of J.H 400,000,000 has made it abundant; that it Is dllllcult to account for a demand for the whole of it. And It Is true that this abundance led France from 18,"0 to 1805 and even later to absorb gold and let sit ver go; that the United Slates In 1S63 clung to Its gold and lot the silver be re duced In weight from 37'iKralns to 34G.B grains; that Germany took of the abun dant supply of gold and alto let Its silver mainly go in 1873; that after 1871, when sil ver, finding Itself elbowed out of the currencies of gold, fell In value, then tne Latin Union refused to accept the de predating silver at Its old value of 15 to 1 at the mints and censed to allow Its free culnne at that price. The whole difficulty was that gold, bolng abundant tnd belngjreferred by modern commer cial notions having International trans actions on a large soile, the heavier metal was discarded. It was Just tne same as discarding the slower stage coicn when railwas became available. Gold as the better Instrument was preferred to silver. AH legislation merely reflected the com mercial needs and preferences of Europe. It wis nut mere law which caused the fall of sliver. It was the discarding ot silver by commerce which led to Its fall, and this was done because gold had be. come abundant. The real cause of Uie fall In the value of stiver, back of legie- l.il Ion, was the abundance of gold. Nor was the full ot prices since 1S73 aue to the demonetisation of silver and the consequent relative scarcity of gold, as a fact, prices In 18M are only 92.H. as com pared with 100 In 1800. Hut the paper money period, 1802-1879, Introduced an ex pansion and depreciation ot tne paper, a reckless speculation ana an inimuun of credit which. In W73. culminated In one of the most destructive panics of the century. The fall of prices since 1873 was a fall from an exceptional specula tive height. The fall was not due to lack of gold, because we have now over KM, Ooo.uoo more In use today than In 1873. But If the fall of prices since 1S73 were due (as It was not) to a scarcity of gold. why Is It that wagoa as expressed in gold, -have risen? A day's tabor today commands more gold by ( per cent, than In 1S73. In short, it Is a mere theory, unsupported by facts, that prices roll since 1873 because of a lack ot gold. Prices have fallen, as producers all know, because of Improved means of manufacture, diminished cost of produc tion, opening up of the new wheat and agricultural regions, and to all the re sults of the most marvelous march or Invention the world hos ever seen In any century. Gold hns also fallen In Vilu of gvild Is o7S13,bnku because of Its lessened coat, and the Joint result of the fall of goods and t-r fill of gold Is that prices are not much oanemirt fiuia the level pf And labor commands both more gold and more rood. Nor could prices have fal len since 1871 because ot the disuse ot silver, because there Is more legal tender sliver in circulation toda.y than In 1873. In short, this talk of sliver and prices la besed on mere Imagination. It is not U-ue that prices have been depressed by a shrinkage of gold. A LEAF FLUTTERED BY THE WIND.

This class of Invalids, too.Ir usually troubled with Indigestion and Imperfect assimilation. Indeed,to the Inability of the system to perform these twin functions may be largely attributed all nervous symptons. Hostettcr's Stomach Bitters Is a soverlgn remedy for nervousness. Dyspepsia and non-asslmllatlon of the food are remedied by It, as are also malarial and kidney complaints, billlousness,consttpatlon and rheumatism. Confirmed nervousness can not be permanently remedied by opiates or sedatives, which are highly prejudicial to health, and soon fall of effect save In Increasing doses.

While I was pastor of the BaptlHt Church at Rives Junc tion, she was brought down with Pneumonia, succeeding La Grippe. Ter rible paroxysms of coughing would last hours with little internuptlon and It seemed as if Bhe could not survive them. a friend recommended Dr. King's New Discovery; it was quick in its worn, and satisfactory In its re sults."
