Well Mormei Democrats have never dared to demy that the high standard of wages piaOd mechanics and all grades of working-men la this country to due to the 'RepublWan policy of protection, but they, have tried to Make it appear that the agricultural elasues had no share in this benefit. Of course such an arsru ment Is an insult to the intelligence or the American farmer, but ft was used mors or Iws effectively during the last campaign in the South and in the new staties of Wl West where manufacturing Industrie have not yet bad time to cs ta'tolteh themselves. The New York Trib une has lately been making aoono deduc tion from the reports of the tacit ceo sue which, form one of Uie most couviic lng ftrgumervts that hus ever been ad vanced in ifavor of the proposition that the fostering of manufacturing interests confers a dlrvrat benefit upon the arglcul- luratla'tt of fchs country, greater, p3-hops, thorn tlhlat resulting to any other ludu trial class in the country. The Tribune ays; One liwwn which our belated census has Just brought to light turn oepedol use fulness at this time. It appears that the number of persons having gainful occu pat'.ons increased proper ionalely more than th population from lm to 1890, end over si per cent, nut the ratio of in crease .was very different In the differ;- departments of Industry. The statement made public thus far gives the total ot pensone employed In agriculture, fisheries and mining as 9,018,201, but the number of ' coal miners and quarrymen is separately given,- leaving about 8,7C7,000 for farmir.s, nherioa and the remaining end less lm , porta-rot mining. Practically the same . occupations embraced in lm only 7,376,000 pontons, and the increase was 1,032,000, - but this is only U per cent in ten yearn, whereas the Increase in population was 24.86 per cent: On the other 'hand, the Increase in per sons engaged in manufacturing and min ing occupations was from S,37,1U in 1880 to t,m,m In 1890, or 1,254,5G7, This is 32.7 per cent in ten pears, and is not only more than the Increase In population, bm considerably more than double the In creese in agriculture. In this on depart, ment, Ho say nothing of others, the num. ber of additional ntouths to be fed n. or eased about 200,000 more 'than the num ber of persons employed in raising food, and in proportion increased more than twice as much. The number of persons in domestlo service also Increased In greatci ratio tlhen population, 'but as to this class it Is not possible to be certain that d f ferences in oUuMluoaitfon between one census and the otiher do not account for much of the gain. In the manufacturln and meyhanloial dpSuitmert the claesM "atlan hi.i not l'en ewwntla'y f hinged, and the increase, more than double tlw Increase In persons engaged in farming, is of the greatest importance. All Icnow tUiat this is In large measure the direct result of that American policy which staadlly encouraged for thirty years the development of manufacturing and mechanical Industries by prottctlng thorn sga'inst direct competition with pro. ducts of foreign tabor. It Is not the pur pose here to consider -whether this policy was In alt respects wisely carrl'l out, wherther the encouragement given to dif ferent branches of Industry was wisely apportioned or adjusted. Th broad fact that the consumers increased In number in Ithlsorte branch more than the pro ducers f food, and In proportion more than twice' as much, tells a story of the highest importune to agriculture. The upbuilding of a, great and perma nent home market for the products ot American farms was from the earliest days of Mhe republic the most cherished ohjec of its founders, who were to a large skUu farmers or identified as large land owners, wtoh agricultural Internets. They saw at the outset that the unlimited and fertile fend of the new republic would aMrnot saulers from every part of ttos wottd, and that the surplus of agri cultural products would soon depress prices of such products beyond all rea son, and beyond Wve bora cast of produc tion, if measures -were not taken and peraistenUy maintained by the nation to develop other industries. Because in other Industries die country had to contend with older countries, with their vast nr ffreguiltlons of capital and their Immense reserves of unemployed or half-employed labor, It was (die to hope for a full and harmonious development of manufactur ing Industries without a measure of de fe.nee. Moreover, In order to make ithat duenee effectlve.it woe necessary that it pWultJ be constant, unwavering, and sun7olrtUy vigorous and l.berai to re tain defensive powtr even when foreign prices- dropped to their Ijhtwi. It is fhat policy Which the Republican party has knpt in force without a break for thirty years, for the first time tn the whole history of the country, and the result in been the most wonderful pros pcr'.'y, and Increase in wealth and wetl-bt-ing and national power, 'that the world has -vr wt!f(t, Pirrfit-r.t E. EvnJUmln AnJrcws, ,of Z':-v.'v. li if i!. fitted silver advocates in the United States; that is to say, he 4s for raising silver to a permanent) parity with gold, through en international agreement wMch wll inrfude the great commtTcra! nafone ot the world. But he sees noth ing but ruin in the proposition that this country rutin into the free coinage of sli ver alojiie. He says: I deem the greatest evlCe very likely to arlee from an effort by the United States aione to com silver wOhout limltiatlon. Immense numbers of failures would oc cur. Laborers! would be thrown out of vork. Altogether a dreadful paroxysm In our business would be precipitated. Hlowly the gUp left by gotd would be filled by the mining and coinage of sil ver. Prices would then gradually rise. At last they would become higher than now, and more approaching the Mexican e.nd Japanese level. Siome advantages would doubtless spring from the eVeva f Jon of prices, tout it is a mistake to sup pose that It would redress the iniquity caused by the fall of prices to! ace 1S73, because the rise and fail would, in the overwhelming majority of oases, not ap ply to the same parties. In most in stances the very men who have profited by the fall would manage to profit ag'aln by the rise. Moreover, wages would rise more slowly than values at large. Every recognized advocate of bimetal lism in Europe takes the some ground. There t mot one of them who does not look upon the scheme of the free coinage by the United States Independent of other powers as simply the substitution of the single silver standard for the gold standard, or, in other words, the worst possible kind of monometallism; and as working the Indefinite postponement or bimetallism. All the recognized authori ties on bimetallism in Europe and In the United States concur in this view. And they all, without excerption, infinitely pre fer a monetary system which, by limit. ing the coinage of silver, raTees It to a par with gold, to ti system which would ban'.sh gold entirely from drculatfon amd drag all other currency down to the level of the depreciated market value of sllvtr. Prof. Wrtghlt has ag'ilm demonstrated bis fitness for the responsible position he fills, and his title to be ranked with the foremost educators of Oregon and the Northwest by the close of one of the most successful scholastic years in the history of the public schools of Astoria. It is a fact not generally known, but a matter for the congratutafiion of parents and Uix-payer in Astoria, rtfh&t our pub lic retool system is regarded in educa tlonui circles as one of the best and most modern In the 'state. While the credit for this high slanidard of efficiency is larguty due to Prof. Wright's talent as en orgain.zer, It anust be conceded that he Unas Iliad the benefit of the aid and experience of perhaps the ablest oorps of aiSiiM&ntg ever oseoo'laited together since the inibrodtodbtan of the graded school system in the city. It is to be hoped, with one or two exceptions, that no change will be -made in the present organization, and that the same policy which Was produced such gratifying re sult in the year just closed may continue without interruption during the term of the school year next ensuing. Mr. A. J. Huwttr, one of the orators at the Illinois Democratic conventions could not have paid a greater compliment to the Democrats named than when be said: "Upon this money question, I am unable to see Uny difference between Sherman end Carlisle, Cleveland and Cul lom, and Brlce and Allison." And yet ho apparency thought it was the worst inUlctmenti that could be drawn. Senator 'Brlce is right In saying that the demand for free silver is mainly due to the hard tlm.es. Good crops and busi nsa improvement will put an end to such folly and save the country from the disas ter of an unsettled money system. Some foreign ClatJhoUca in Connecticut petitioned Mgr. Satolll for a prtest who could sptUk the'r language, and he has replied that if they wish, to be American citizens, they must leam and use the language of the country. It Is reported that Cleveland intends to recommend a stamp tax on bank checks and other business planer; but a Republican congress will Mot adopt such a method of raising revenue, because 1C odious, like the income tax. ELI PERKINS ON FREE COINAGE. If we should flna'jly have free coinage and lit EhouCd raise the price of sliver from CO to 100. I don't know what would become of our surplus slrvjr," said a Moiivuina silver miner on Wall itreet to day. What dv you mean by surplus silver?" I nrked, 'Why for the last ten years we miners have been exjortlng silver to Europe, and If they can't get our s Iver at the market price, they'd buy It in bouth America, Mexico or Jaian, where they can get it cheaper." How much silver have we been ex-, porting?" I asked. "From 136,000,000 to no,ooo,ooo a year. "And the product Is increasing every year 7 'I should say it was. In Wis we minea $77,576,000 worth of silver, land only 133.- 956,000 worth of gold. Now this silver Is worth 177,576,000 at the market price, but If we coined it at 16 to 1 the government would pay twice that amount tor it, or 165,1K!,000." 'And the production of silver would Increase If U'ie price were doubled, you h'nk?" Think!" exclaimed the miner, "why it would double in a year. It would take 1300,000,000 a year ini gold to buy the out put. It would tuke 14,000.000,000 to buy ten years' output of American' silver alone." But suppose the government sroppea buying ill?" 'Why. there sliver would drop to the world's market price In ten minutes, Just as it has tn ChCna and Mexico." Do vou think it would tm possible for our government to go on buying all the silver we mined for a series of years T" I asked. Could this government; do It!" ex claimed the miner. "Why, of course she couldn't. Where is she to get the gold to guarantes this sver wlthT She Is in debt now to England for $80,000,000 worth of gold. Six imojtth sgo democrats and republicans :n congreiie said the coining ot $18,000,000 worth of silver a year was sending goCd out of the country and ruining us, and where would this nation end If che tried to coin $400,000,000 worth a year?" The o.d miner was right. Every nation that has had free coinage has gone into bankruptcy. The silver they coined was Irgal leikV-r, too. All the td-cent dollars in Chins, Japan, India, and Mexico are leifiU tender. They are LtfJi tender f ot debts. A r.ote drawn ilhirry years ago for $100 dollars can be paid now with fifty SO-cent dollars. A man working on a $10 salary reuBy gwts $50. The laborer who was always paid 13 cents gets (. Capital always owes labor. Labor is the creditor Cl.irs. WhOch ore the nations that have al ways hung onto the tall end of civiliza tion and progress? They are always the. silver nations nations that have always had free coin age. WDiat is the ntoiter wRh Chlnli? She has no gold alt aU1, never coined gold, but ehe has $750,000,000 In silver. Free coinage adiways sends gold out of the oountry. ' How about India? She has never coined gold, but has coined $0,000,000 worth of silver. Free' coinage again. Whlat (bias Mexico done? She nas coined ten times as much sil ver as gold. Amd poor Greece? Twenty times as much silver as gold. Is the silver of tihe'se poar countries legal tender? - Yes, It is legal tender. Are these free coinage nations prosper ous? No. Every rnan; woman and child has lost half his weatith dn these nations. A mun who wtas worth $1,000 in Mexico, Ohlnla or India, and many of the South American states is now worth $500. Our salivation will be to follow the ex empt's of 'England and coin less silver. We ere all bimetaHi.sts. We all believe In tooth giold and silver, but let us coin Just what silver we need and stop. Ws have nut had over $80,000,000 In silver in circulation" during the last ten years. Why coin more? Is not $60,000,000 enough surplus to be rusting in the treasury T The free sllverutes do not seem to understand that the United States have coined more efilver in proportion to gold than any oilier great nation. Here are the figures of the aggregate amount f silver and gold coined by the great na. tlons: Gold. Untied etli'ies $fi06,6OO,OOO England 600,000,000 France 825,000,000 Germany 6a5,000,000 Russia 405,000,000 BILver. $025,300,000 112,000,000 492,200,000 215,000,000 48,000,000 These are United' States mint report fig ures. They do not CCe, like .the politician. EDI PERKINS. A WISE FREE SILVER EDITOR. Pioneer Press. Captain Howell, editor of the Atlanta Constitution, a free silver organ, has been Interviewed toy the New York Tri bune. Among other things he is quoted as saying that Jthere is no use In deny ing Mailt, during the period when silver was most llargely used, from 1660 to 1875, was the imoeit prosperous time we have ever known." Now the Atlanta Con stitution 'le EOld to be one of the lead ing and most Influential papers in tne south. It ds the chief organ of 'the silver interest in the South. It makes a special ty of flnai:ci;il wisdom. But there is r.o boy of ten yelars of age in tifte northern states who reads the newspapers who could not have told Mr. Howela that there was not a dollar of silver in circulation in the United Siiaities during the period from 1860 to 1875, when he says It was morn largely used. It ds Just such crass, sodden, astounding Ignorance as this on the part of the editor of a, leading south era advocate of free silver; Just such Jaunty bumptiousness of confident asser tion about things he knows nothing about and has never taken tfhe slightest trouble to Inquire about which has misled and a, luded the ignorant masses of the south ern people on this question. There wlas not, we repoat, a singl doRiar in use as money in the entire United Staties of America during the period when he SayB it was moslt largely used, and when it was the most prosper ous time we ever had by reason of its larger use. There is nearCy $600,000,090 of sliver in use In this country today, el'ther in the tfliape of coin or Its paper repre eentaltlves, or six hundred million times more silver than during his supposed ell' ver age. If prosperity results from the torge use of silver we should be Just de luged wJih prosperity. It is natural that a man 'Who starts out with ehowlng that he Is utterly ignorant of the whole-sub Ject should to "in favor of arranging a money system to suit ourselves without recognizing foreign powers in the ar rangement." We have a trade with for. elgn countries amounting to about $2,000, 000,000 unnually, and of course we don' want to have anything to do with them, We sell our securltiea in Europe to the extent of hundreds of millions of dollars In order to raise money to build our roil' roads and Carry on our business enter prises. Of course we don't want anything to do with Ithem. Eut they will havj somei'ming to ao wuun us u we seriously propose to pay these securities in depre' clattd eiS'ver coin. That Is, ithey will have someWhlng to do with us until they get rid of our securities, end then they will have as tltltle to do Wltlh us as they can help. (MOTHER'S SONG. When the thrushes cease their singing and the wild bees leave Ithe clover; When tiie glory of the sunset fades and leaves the hetivens pale; When above the h'.lls and mountains misty ehades of twilight hover, And the discords of the daytime far awhy in'dlstiance fall; When the rath wheat gently rustles, and Jhe timid aspens shiver.
