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 irJril Is swmewhat Impulsive at times, It ia explained, and in a moment of anger ha might say thlat he .was correctly re p jpti'J In tine Tribune. Knawkdge . ot 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.
