SENATOR WITCHELL ON FREE SiL.
VEB.
Senator Mitchell has iribtazoned hl
way from the Atlantic to the Pacific by
etaodmenJt of the moat radical and ex-
travagurvt kind on the silver question
to every newspaper reporter wha could
be induced to lWteu. to him, and these
"interviews" have be.11! heraMed as ex
pressive of the temper of Oregon and
other northwestern states regarding the
money issue. The senator either doesn't
know' the sentiment of his own people
on this question, or ekse has become
dewpenate over his glimmering chances
. tor re-election in the light of the recent
robust repudiation of the dogmas and
crowd with which, he Is unfortunately
aBled by the Portland League conven
tion, and be 1 thus bidding two yar in
. advance of the legislature for the Popu
list votes which he thinks may be In that
body, A few day ago he repeated In
St. Paul the same stock ot predictions
h fat loose in every town of consequence
between here and Washington, and the
Ptoneer Press of that city was provoked
to take up his cas and dispose of It in
the following effective fashion:
fMiailor Mitchell should have waited
till be got back to Oregon before Indulg
ing in such noiHKtiae as he talked to
Pioneer Press reporter. For without re
secting on the average inMligence of the
people , of Oregon, there are evidently
more of the kind of people there who art
' capable of swaKowlng such Muff, or they
would mot have elected Pennoyer for their
governor or MltcheCl for their senator.
Among other foolltoh things he eald, "the
RepubClcan national convention would
not dare to declare against the free coin
age of silver." The Republican party
has always opposed the free coinage of
silver. The last Republican national con-
' ventloni declared unequivocally against
the free coinage of silver. Every Repub
lic! state In the Union outside of the
pockdt-toououKh silver mining camps and
"., their et door neighbors Is dead against
the free coinage of sliver. Ohio has Just
spoken for the Republican elates of the
North, in a ringing docOaratlon against
free stiver. The Republicans of Ken'
tucky have just token a firm stand
' against it, and there Is a fair prospect
that they will carry the Democratic state
of Kentucky upon that issue. Not dare,
indeed! Before what power will they
quail when It come to declaring In the
next national convention1 the conviction
'of oven-eightha of the Republicans of
the land? Is it Colorado and Nevada and
Montana and South Dakota and Oregon
that wIM stifla the voice and the con
science of the party that was brave sid
strong1 enough to put down the Southern
rebellion and strangle the gigantic power
of slavery T
The Republican party will reaffirm,
with, more emphasis than tver before,
In Its next national convention, Its op
position to the stupendous crime and
swindle of the free coinage "of silver,
And, If we are not much mistaken, even
Oregon by that time will shake oft its
delirium tremens of Populism with IU
free silver snakes, and sign the pledge
and enter upon a sober and virtuous life
of orthodox, sound money Republicans,
Senator Mitchell, nv:aniwhllt will do good
service In helping to redeem Oregon from
the Populist free silver erase by going
back there and retailing such argumetUk
for it as he dealt out to the Pioneer
Press. For there cannot be many people
In Oregon who can be deceived with such
absurdities as that the monetary vulue or
silver hka been destroyed by its de
monetisation in this country. For they
know better. They know, or ought to
know, that previous to 1878 the entire clr
cuCatloni of sliver In this country outside
of subsidiary coinage never exceeded1 $1.
400,000; whereas, since that time, we
have pub In circulation in silver coin or
In paper nateu representing elver coin
and bullion nearly 1600,000,000, and hav
have heOd thetn up to par with gold. We
dvkii't believe there ran be many people
in Oregon so Ignorant as not to know
that, or who are so simple as to befiev:
his story that the fiirmer would get any
more for his products by taking his pay
In depreciated sliver, so that it would
require two doUans to have the purchas
ing power that one doltuj- In sllv.-r ha
now. It ought not to requite much ot
that kind of nonsense to convince the
people of Oregon that a cause which la
supported by such arguments Is the shal
lowest humbug and fraud of the day.
According to the "Army and Navy Reg
iMwr," President Cleveland and Secretary
Hertjert have not yet abandljoed the
hp of oour,t-marttaling Admiral Meade.
The Register says:
"Tli nefw feature of the case la the
., .'. rt that Aimln Meade is under ob-h.-rvjtlon;
thati it is exp.cted he will In
utue -afce a.Y.iiiifelnns upon which charge
. :.v il-l iua ta'drcsrs
id. and that a court -martial will follow.
Ti.i A Jmlral's friends say that this re
, t is "mum! on fact, and they charge
nival authorities have degener
ahjd into MdUve, seeking information
up-n which to arraign the Admiral.
Tlio Admiral' fronds say intelligence
has reached them to the effect that In
nvMng the authority of the Admiral
to gj abroad on a year loavo the Preal
dent and Becroliary Herbert entertained
the expectation that eooner or later the
Aflnlral moxfA oommU himself. The Ad

It ia explained, and in a moment of anger
ha might say thlat he .was correctly re

tjch aJmisslort would finally reach the
Navy Department, an'l there would be no
de:ay :n cjlilng a court together, It is
taii. Those wins sympathize with the ad
miral are highly indignant at the id.a
of t.'vat officer belr4j kept, under espionage.
They tay, however, that the object of
the ajJ-writles wlU not be obtained, a
the A'jimlrdl Is fuity awara of t'he present
expectations' in his case, and that he is
obsjrving the strictest- silence respecting
Ois affair. '
There Is a man In Milwaukee who, ac
according to an exchange, says that
tho Revolutionary -war was "a little war,"
gotten up by men who had failed in
everything else and who turned their at
tention to riot as a last resort. He say
there was no real opposition in the colon
leu, and that the Americans won no genu-
Ins victories, but were heiptd out by for
eign 'ld. This kind of statement would
be simply an amusing curiosity, to be for
gotten In ten minutes, if it were not that
the man is a school teacher. There la
something In the thought of notions like
this King instilled into the mind of the
embryo patriot thalfc Is calculated to stir
the blood of the most easy-going Ameri
can. That it has had this effect is at
tested by the fact that numerous Indig
nant citizens have demanded that the
young -man be requested to resign from
the service of the public schools.
Mr. Dickinson belonged to the old
echoed of gentlemen; a class now nearly
extinct, and whose diminishing number
has long been a source of regret to those
who set a proper value on the influence
and example of a kind and gentle nature
Astoria has tost an unusual number ot
her oCdest and most respected citizens
within the past pear, Ibut none will ba
wbrsetl more than J. P. Dickinson. The
suddenness of his death Is deplored by a
host of friends of all age and condi
tions.
L 1
THE VALUB OF MONEY.
(Prof. LaughEm.)
The Wei residing in the wordia "value
of money" seems to be particularly open
to misunderstanding. Of course, value
Is a relative thing. One article can have
exchange value only in comparison with
rometlhlng else. Its exchange value Is
the quantity of other goods for which it
will exemunge. Oold, for instance, may
be compared against corn. The value of
23.22 grains of gold, expressed In corn,
li the number of bushels of corn It will
exchange for. The value of that gold (a
dollar) In general lis the quantity of goods
In general for which . it will exchange.
Now, what follows? It must be as cleat-
as a whwJMe that value, since it is a re
lation between two commodities, or
between one commodity, II ike- gold, and
all other commodities, is affected by
amy thing which touches hoth of the
things compared. If the conditions
affecplntr corn change, Ibut if nothing
whatever has changed the conditions
affecting gold, then the relation between
gold and corn has been changed. That
is, the value of gold relatively to corn has
been modified, even though nothing
whatever has affected the gold term. In
other words, gold can go up in value rela
tively to corn, whenever, corn Is cheap
ened In cost, even though there is as
much gold In exjetence os Before.
If this explanation of value be kept
clearly in mind, It win be easy to eee
why a government stamp on money can
not fix its value. The stamp, certifying
thiUt a gold coin contans 23.22 grains of
pure gold, Is not all that is needed1 to give
to the gold an exchange value; nor Is It
even as essential. Oold would have a
vulue even if It -were never stamped.
The rtoimp (8 only a convenience to savo
weighing and assaying at every use of
gold. The important thing, however, is
the quantity of things for which gold
will exchange. How does the minting ot
gold change the value ot gold in the
world. The value of gold can be modi
fied not merely by causes affecting the
supply and demand of gold, but also
by causes affecting the cheapness and
dearmbu of all goods exchanged for
gold. If goods are generally cheapened
n cost, that means that gold buys mors
goods, or prices fall; but it does not
imply that goid has been limited in
quaintlity. For the cause changing the
vulue of gold did not concern gold at all.
'hen. if the value of gold, which Is its
relation to other goods, may be changed
by fluctuations In the cost of these other
goods, how can a government regulate
the value of gold? it .a Impossible for a
government to gowrn the varying costs
of commodities In general; It cannot say
that goods shall be made this year at
higher cost of production, and next year
at lower cost of production. Hence it
cannot possibly control, the value of
gold. .
The difficulty In trying to control the
value at gold and stiver -becomes more
apparent, then, the moment we consider
what value la Since it Is a ratio to othei
gooOu, the value of gold can be controlled
Only by governing all the conditions of
supply of and demand for gold, and all
the cond ttons touching cheapness or
dearnees in cost of producing goods, To
Ktemivt to control all the coivdi'tlons
affecting the processes of production is
absurd. And to suppose that merely
minting gold does th.s Is still more ab
surd, iiut to attempt to control all the
conditions of supply and demand for gold
Itself '.s quite as impossible tor any gov
ernment. 'For Instance, how could any
government foresee and control the pro-
duotlon and supply of gold which sud
denly came Into knowledge with the dis
cover .e in California, and Australia about
1850 T How, also, could we foresee the
astonlfc'lvlng Increase of the gold product
ow golnK on in the African mines? This
product has recently Increased the total
product of the world un'tll it has reached
greater amount annually than ever be
fore In the history of the precious metals.
Is evident, at once, that, even on th
gold side of the comparison, there are
conditions ot tremendous Importance to
the value of gold wholly outside the con
trol of any governmental legislation.
POLITICAL POINTS.
The silver movement," says the In
dianapolis News (Ind.), - "la growing
weaker, every day. Even now H. Is fairly
clear, In spite of what senator Dubois
says, that no rres saver man can d
elected preadent next year."
Bpeuklng of Chairman Carter of th re
publican national committee the St. Louis
QMie-Democrat (Rep.) says: "His
chances for making (he party ridiculous
HI end nert year, for, of course, he will
be removed before the campaign begins."
En-Governor J. Proctor Knott of Ken
tucky; who has made some public talk
of late about errors in Secretary Car-
u '-nml mir Mrnnww. mis TNn
Invited to prove his statements categor
ically In the columns of the Louisville
Courier-Journal.
It is easy to see." remarks the St.
Loiris Globe-bwnocrat, "that the rise
In the silver tide has stopped, and as
the stationary cond.tlon- is as Impossible
In the social as It is in the physical
world, a downward movement may be
looked for before the year ends."
Evidently the Salt Lake City Tribune
(freo silver organ) has not heard, of the
Industrial revival which nearly all the
trade ceuura are reporting. It gabbles
this sort of ly.ng stuff: "Commerce lan
guishes; industry is sluggish; transporta
tion pays neither the shipper or the car.
rter; ,wages are low and labor is uncer
tain of employ; prices ere back to the fig
ures that prevailed before the discovery
of gold in California; producers are hard
pushed to get enough to eat and to
wear; all thjs train of evils springs from
the demonetization of silver; all will be
cured by Its remonetlmtlom" The Salt
Lake paper Is a professional calamity
howler. Nothing -will satisfy It but
free silver slump to 60-cent dollars.
WHEN SPENCER DIED.
(Of course no one knows that Shake
speare buried, but he was in London at
that time and had not reached the zenith
ot his flame, While Spencer had. Anyhow,
It is pleaisant to think that he may have
been one of the poets who dropped their
pens Into their brother's tomb. J. C. R.
Dorr.)
Thus spake my Lord of Essex on the day
When after woful stress, rare Spenser
. died
"Now give me heed, my llegosl Ye shall
lay
My Spencer forth in splendor and in
pride,
With rich array of banners floating wide,
And pomp of sable plumes and scrutch
eons flair,
Let kind death yield him what stern life
denied!
Then bear him to the abbey's holy air
That he the sepulchre of burled kings
may share I "
They laid him forth. Then up the mighty
nave,
Hung with rich tapestries that to and
fro
Waved softly In the scented air, all brave
WCUh dim, historic epiendoro to the
flow
Of rolling music tremulous and slow,
With solemn liturgies and chanting
clear,
Through the vast arches echoing soft
and low.
They bore him onward to the silence
drear.
While kings and priests of song- walked
by his stately bier.
With tender hands the velvet pail they
'bore,
Wrought with Hon, arabesques of sil
ver sheen,
Ka silver fringes sweeping the dark
floor
Of the gray, pillared aisles itfhey moved
between
Nor paused until, with proud yet rever
ead mien.
Where Chaucer slept they lqwered him
to nis rest,
Then gently dropped into the void un
. seen
Odes, for spring flowers, to die upon his
brsastl
In fragrant, voiceless speech, that ttlll
their love confessed.
And ere they left him to his long re
pose, Into the brooding dark each poet cast
The pen his verse wias writ wtlth. Ahl
who knows?
The years are silent and the hoary
tost;
And fame's far trWmp has no resound
ing blast
Heralding maime or state. Yet make ye
room,
O mighty shades, for one, the flret and
last
And mightiest of ye all! In Spenser's
tomb
Maybe our Shnkespeare's pen yet lights
the murky gloom-.

' MARVELOUS RESULTS.
From a letter written by Rev. J. Gun-
derman, of Dlmondale, Mien., we are
permitted to make this extract: "I
have no hesitation In recommending
Dr. King's New Discovery, as the re
sults were almost marvellous In the
case of my wife. While I was pastor
of the Baptist Church at Rives Junc
tion, she was brought down with
Pneumonia, succeeding La Grippe. Ter
rible paroxysms of coughing would last
hours with little Interruption and It
seemed as If she could not survive
them. a friend recommended Dr.
King's New Discovery; it was quick In
its work, and satisfactory in its re
sults." Trial bottles free at Chas.
Rogers' Drug Store. Regular slxe 60
PROVEN A BOOS.

mended Kiumm'i HeaWne Capsulee
wherever I hare had a chance. They
have proven a veritable boon In my
family against any and all kina or
headache. Yours -truly.

The objections urged against Indio
In the past by the large numbers who
otherwise would have been glad to tak

been a lack of suitable accommoda

takes pleasure In announcing that sev

lightful climate.
(From the San Francisco Argonaut.)
"In the heart of the great desert of
the Colorado which the Southern Pa
cific road traverses there is an oasis
called Indio, which, in our opinion, ii
the sanitarium of the earth. We be
lieve, from personal investigation, that
for certain Invalids; the-e is no spot 01
this planet so favorable."
G. T. Stewart, M. D., writes: "The
purity of tho air, and the eternal sun
shine, fill one with wonder and delight
Nature has accomplished sc
much that there remains but little for
man to do. As to its possibilities as a
health resort here is the most per
fect sunshine, with a temperature al
ways pleasant, a perfectly dry soil
for rain is an unknown factor; pure
oxygen, denps atmospnere ana pure
water. What more can be desired ?
It is the place, above all others, for
lung troubles, and a paradise for rheu
matics. Considering the number of
sufferers who have been cured, I have
no hesitancy in recommending this
genial oasis as the haven of the afflict
ed." INDIO.
