" .We wonder, ometowsv how many pa rens realize to bow great an exttnt the moral character and the Jialblta of Uhouglit as well ait the opinions of their children are Influenced by the home newspaper which come into the family and Is read frcra beginning to end by every member of it. Those who do not reallzs Mils can certainly not foe too careful of the news, paper that they admit to their homes. A greater misfortune can hardly be imagined for a young man or woman t hla a to be brought up under the Influ ence -of a newspaper that sneers at everytlhlng, holding neither religion nor morality nor private character nered; that oompladns in every Issue about the Injustice of the' law or the venality of the court; whJdh dediare that the only possible flat tor a mm who starts out poor ta thia country is .to keep on growing poorer; which ttadhe In effect tihati ithe government of the United States la something apart from and independent of and hostile to tiNe people; which (Ills Ita columns with slangy expression?, with vulgar okei and with personal abuse of political or business rivals. How can a child, reUdlng such a newspaper week after week, fall to grow up into low bred, impure minded, scoffing, dlfcontent. ed and unpatriotic manhood or woman hood? Th test to apply to a newspaper Is Che test you would apply to a man. Would you want a mian to come into your fam ily circle and crack doubtful jokes and pour ult continuous and vile abuse upon men who are your friends, and denounce the laws of your country as "conspira cies" against the people, and declare that tine children of a poor man had no chance to better their condition, and criticise and complain and And fault from one week's end to another? Would you want such a man to be your child's . most intimate and influential . frlendT If not, then' you don't want the paper that to his counterpart. No child should be allowed to read a paper that Is not clean and courageous and hoptful and patriotic. PBRNICIOUS AGITATION. Tine prevailing agltatfon of the silver Question Is to be deplored, says the Globe Democrat, because of its mlschevlous ef fect upon business conditions and the Influences of returning prosperity. There Is no necessity for so tmtoh Balking and maneuvering about a matter which may snifely be left to adjust Itself In .the ordl rary course of eyents. The demand for the solution of the to -culled currency problem ( not at all invent, and the poli ticians who are hammering away at It could do the country much better ser vice by letting it alone. Nothing can be gained by premature discussion of on Issue that may be presented In an entirely different shape a year hence. It Is not true, as these noisy agitators would have us believe, that we are facing a serious emergency, and one that calls for speedy and positive action. As a matter of fact, the situation would be quite s-ttlefiictory If ths statesmen who are engaged In the work of making speeches and calling con ventions to settle the silver controversy would subside and give us a rest In that respeeh There ta mo trouble In our flnan crltl affairs except such as Is produced by those who thus lead the people to suppose that there is something radically wrong, and that it can be rltflrter only by the operation of political machinery. It is easy to understand that the cir cumstances are all favorable ito a gen eral revival of trade and Industry, If it were not for the doubt and apprehension attending the persistent agitation of a question that Is so closely related to all the interests of commerce, labor and productive enterprise. All kinds of bus iness show signs of Improvement, but ther? can not be full1 restoration of con. fldence and a free investment of capital so long as the politicians continue the pj-ewenrt disturbance about measures of value and forms of money and processes of payment. The majority of dtlsens ore not technically falmlitar with financial principles and policies, and so are apt to be confused and alarmed by loud and acrimonious talking in that relation. We need nothing so much! Just now as polit ical peace with regard to the currency That is the one thing for -which the coun try awiUs before entering upon a period of substantial prosperity. There Is no other obstruction worth mentioning, no other source of d ttouragemtot, no other eleinwvt of weakineis. The silver question baa been thrust Into prominence by ar bitrary means and without reusonable Jurlflcaolon; and the return of good times wmiM e materially hastened by putting .t aMe und giving ordinary burinese laws .,- o work In an uninterrupted wa y. country is a child vt the Rf-pub'.ican tar iff. 'o InlUfftry ever has been or can . ., v.ipnthUr brought Into being by legislation than this same manufac ture, which the Democrats persistently d:elired had no existence until it iad oma to supply about a sixth of the en tire consumption of tWe country. If for eign imports are now and hereafter dl nvinlbhed because this industry, when ouve established by high duties long enough coniUmued to give it a chance of development, has become able to stand with lower duties, that blessing Is due tj the maligned Republican tariff which c.ileJ It into existence. KxportB of corn fell off by 3,600,000 buBh eiu In Much, 189G, as compared with March, 1894; of wheat by 100,000 bushels and flour by 1,800,000 barrel. That Is how .Ova fanners, says the Economist, are letulntf themselves out Into the mar kets of Hi'.1 world and the barrel fac tories are letting thtmelve out of work. "THE ENOL19H SYSTEM.' Chicago Tribune. Orator Uryan of 'Nebraska told the convention of free "Silver beetles" at Springfield that "There ere those among us who would far.'.e.i upon us the English system of finance, Just as there were those among our revolutionary fathers who sought to continue the political supremacy of Great Britain. These gentlemen, having sus pended the coinage of silver and estab lished the gold standard, are urging us not o disturb party harmony by de manding a restoration of the gold and silver coinage of the constltuton, Just as the torles crltd 'peace, peace,' when Patrick Henry and his compatriots sougnt a restoration of the rights of the colon ists, but there Is no peace." Why not equally denounce those "who would fasten upon us the English sys tern" of measuring by the bushel and the quart, the foot rule and yard stick, the ounce and pound, the mile, the rod? Why, having adopted any or all of these English scales of measurement for us In this country. Should we feel called upon to change to some other units for no better reason than that those now common are used by the hated English? What compar.son can any but the ver iest blatherskite draw between a Just de mand for "no taxation without represent ation" and an iniquitous demand that the American currency system shall be altered and debased for the avowed pur pose of enabling those who owe money to repudiate one-half their Just indebted ness? There are three great systems of money In the world, outside of the cowrie or leather type used only by savages. Thare is the English system in which gold is the standard, and silver Is used only for fractional currency to be redeemed in gold when presented In small quantity. There is the French system of a gold standard with a suspended silver coinage, hltchtd to gold and held up by it, so that the silver coins circulate at par with gold. Then there is the Mexican system of al leged "bimetallism," the free coinage of both gold and silver at a ratio which In Mexico la WA to 1, "without waiting for the help of any other nation." Undet this system the people of Mexico are furnished with silver money only, and that circulates at bullion value, except the difference due to Charge for minting. Not a single gold piece is coined for uss among the people, because a gold dollar Is worth as much as two silver dollars, and If any one of them wants to obtain possession of a gold coin without steal ing it they have to buy It at the rate of more than 30 grains of silver in the silver coin for each grain of gold there Is in the gold coin. The Mexican must pay about 16 of his stiver dollars for one of our gold eagles, which can be got in exchange for 10 of our silver dol lars, though the American silver dollar does not contain as many grains of sil ver as are in the Mexican dollar; but they are held up to par with gold, and Bryan's scheme would drop them down to the Mexican level. Under the French system some 700 mil lions of gold are employed ta hold up about 000 millions of silver to gold par, giving to France 1,300 millions of "hard money," or as much of it as the people choose to use. Practically we are using the French system, not the English one. The free silverltes in this country, In cluding JJryan and the crowd he talked to at Springfield, want to have silver used only at its commercial value. They denounce the English gold system, but what they are endeavoring to break up in this country Is the French system and force us to substitute for It that of Mex ico. That Is where the cry of "Tories" comes 1n, and it must be admitted to be most absurdly out of place. It Is not a question of "torylsm," but of plain hon esty and business sense. At least Mr. liryan ought to be able to show some advantage which his Mex- Icanlzing scheme has secured to those who have tried that plan before he urges It upon the people of the United States. Hut he cannot do so. What are the facts? Great Britain has not been impoverished by the use of the first plan, nor has France by the second, During the time they have been upon the gold basis, the one with a subsidiary silver coinage and the other with a limited silver coinage, thoy have prospered wonderfully. On the other hand, Mexico Is as poor as the typical "church mouse," Its people are poverty Btrlcken, ,and the tollers amon them receive less than half the wages in half worth silver than do those of the workers in England and France in gold. The same miserable wages ar paid In every other free silver country on the face of the globe. Will Mr. Bryan be good enough to consider that fact be fore he rants any more in behalf of the Mexico sliver beetle system? OREGON CROP REPORT. (B. S. Pague.) The weather has been extremely fa vorable to the growth of crops and vege tutlon has responded vigorously to the favorable condi.Wom All correspondents report a cheerful spirit among the farm ers. Their crops were never more prom ising. The fruit crop Is now past all harm from the weather; insects may do damage, but the weather wiN nut. Itaytng Is now in progress. Wheat hay will be next to bo cut. Clover, tim othy, cheat and wild hay are also now belntr cut. The yield Is heavier than usual. The weather has been and will be for a few days more, at least, very favor able to haying. Hops are making phenomlnal growth. They are r.tw arming out. Hop lice are reported as present, in some yards more, in others leas. The correspondent at Buena Vista, Polk county, reports: "Lice are. reported in all yards that I have made Inaulry wboait and unions spraying bs resorted to, but few hops will be picked. Ths potato crop will be heavy; early planted powtoes are now in blos som. The whiat crop Is developing finely; It is heidtng. and promising urausuaity well. Some grain waa becoming yellow, but the dry, warm weather has given It a good haaltny green color. -ua ana barh-y promise exceedingly well. The warm weather was of especial benefit o the corn. Throughout tins section of the state ths cereal crop will be mater ially above the average in yield and qual ity, unltus unusually warm and dry weather should prevail: In which event the yield and quality will be reduced. This applies mors to spring than fall sown grain. The FTem-ft and Italian prunes con tlnue to drop to some extent, and both will not yield more than an average. Other varieties of prunes are very heavy at prwnt on the trees. .The peach trees prouiise a heavy crop; the same for pears. A,( v.111 U a f.lr crop. The fruit growers are spraying for the cod'.ln moth. Strawberries are now at tfhe helghth of their season, and ths season has been a very successful one for the growers. A more favorable oondlt.on of all crops was never known before at this period of the year. s The general cereal crop conditions are nob of the most encouraging character throughout eastern Oregon. Rain will help things wonderfully, and there are no indications at the present writing for rain within the next ten day MOLTEN METAL. Tons of It Curried Five Miles by Freight Every Day. Cleveland Flalndealer. Great pots of molten motal go daily skimming along the Erie railroad from the Cleveland Rolling Mills company's central blast furnace to the Newburg mills as sedately as If this traffic were of long standing. The plan, put into operation last Monday, is a perfect success. It takes Just fifteen minutes for the metal, after it is poured Into the big ladle cars, to reach the mixer in the mills, some five miles away. Eight trips are made a day, as follows: At 6:20, 8:20 and 11:20 o'clock In the aflternoon, and three trains at night. These trips are made at a time when the tracks are perfectly cleared. Thus delays are avoided, which would be ex pensive, for if long continued the metal would cool and .the purpose of the special doll very thus be defeated. At the rolling mills the car is raised on a hoist to the mixer, the ladle Is tipped by machinery, and the liqud metal poured Into the mixer. Relieved of their load, the cars amble back to the furnace at their leisure In time for the next trip. About 500 tons of hot metal is thus carried evry day over this long railroad route. The Cleve land Rolling Mill company has to pay a pretity figure for the freightage, it is said, but there is economy In ths opera tion. THE "TARIFF REFORM" BOOM. American Economist. Wages, In some Instances, are higher than they were in 1891. But they are Iter below the wages of 1891 and 1892. All over the country there have been strikes for the purpose of securing even the wages of 1893. The volume of business has increased over that cf 1894, but It Is only 80 per cent of that of three years ago. Business failures in the bet few weeks haive been over 600, against less than 500 In the oorrespond.ng period of 1892, and this, too, In spite of the fact that the weaker Arms went utrJier long ego. Exports have decrmsed, although the markets of the world are open to us. We hove been selling bonds instead of redeeming them, as we did under a pro tective tariff. So much for the buslnesss boom which has come through tariff reform the boom which, strange to say, did not reach us until the party of prAteotlon h'ad again been swept into power and hod been placed in control of the legisOative branch of the government. EFFECT OF FREE COINAGE. Milwaukee Journal (Dem.): Free coin' age means that the gold, some $025,000,000, Will disappear from the circulation. This will produce a scarcity of money such as this country never knew. They tell us that this would be only temporary! but how long would it take even to re place with sliver, to say nothing of an actual increase of the present volume? The result would be a resort to state banks to fill the gap and the second Btate of the currency would be worse than the first even by the standard of the free silver men.
