The speaker Ix-Kan by expressing his
delight ai nuiilng so many of the peo
ple of Hi-aside. The niOKnlllcent dem
onatrntlon. lie wild. Indicated only too
plainly, that patriotism reigned In the
town. Mr. Cleeton made very slight
mention of the turIT, but dealt almost
entirely with the free silver proposi
tion. It no time for partisanship,
he said, but a lime for patriotism.
"Our political enemy this year Is an
organisation which stole the name of
Iirmocracy and come before the peo
ple nuking supiKirt for the greatest fal
lacy of political history. I will not dis
grace the proud name of Democracy hy
applying it to tho I'opocrats because
the lienioeratlc party, which ha made
many errors, ha always stood upon
principle; ami In the Indianapolis can
didates we have the honor of the Dem
ocracy. "The tariff Is not tne question. I
am iiuite willing to let the tariff rest,
bi-cause a vnst majority of the voters
are convinced of that lending Republi
can principle. The great sliver ques
tion will receive my attention tonight."
Mr. Cleeton reviewed the history of ra
tios. With the birth of (he Roman em
pire silver and gold started out on
eiiuiil ratios I lo 1. Hut, as the cen
turies rolled on, and nations became
civilised. It was found that the demand
for gold was far greater than that for
silver, and the consequence Is that the
ratio Is now about 30 to 1. Yet the
Popocrats would make the ratio 16 to
1. while In reality It was twice that.
The fallacy of the proposition was
clearly demonstrated.
"Early In the century Jefferson and
Hamilton, two of the greatest states
men who ever lived, consulted with the
nations of the earth to discover If pos
sible the true ratio of the mctnla. The
result was that they concluded to make
IS ounces of silver equal In value to
one ounce of gold. Hut the ratio was
not exact. There was a difference of
Hi cent on the dollar In favor of gold
and as a consequence no gold was
coined, as It was worth more aa bul
lion. It was better and more profita
ble for the owners of the yellow metal
to ship It out of Ihe country.
"Now, my friends, If a difference
of lls cents on the dollar stopped the
coinage of gold, what would be the re
sult If we went to the silver standard
with the amount of silver contained In
a dollar worth but 63 centB?"
The speaker explained that a dollar
of silver Is as good as s-old for the
reason that It Is backed up by the
gold dollar a dollar that Is worth 100
cents the world over.
"The Popocrats claim that the stamp
of the government gives to money Its
value. When, after the civil war. pa
per was Issued by tho United States,
lid gold circulate In the country? No,
It did not. Why? Because It was too
valuable. The fact that an enormous
amount of paper money had been Is
sued made this condition. The paper
was not backed up by gold; people
know It would be many years before
the government could redeem It and.
despite the government's stamp, it fell

to appoint a committee to wait on the

B. VanDusen and Enoch Peterson.
The subject of county roads next
came before the meeting. Mr. B. Van
Dusen spoke of the advisability of
building a suitable road to bring jnto

with Astoria, and alluded to the pres

resident of the country, expressed a
willingness on his part and on the part
of his neighbors to aid all that was
possible and was followed by Mr. Keefe
w ho strongly emphasized the desirabil
ity and necessity for such a highway.
Mr. F. P. Kendall gave some logical
views on the situation, and Mr. E. A.
Seeley made a motion -that a commit

matter and report nt the next meeting.
Messrs. Keefe and Titus were appoint

Mr. Seeley thought that Astoria

Occupying a position of considerable
responsibility at the capital for a period
of eighteen years. I wa naturally
thrown In contact with most of the
principal officers of the government,
and among them none more Intimately
than with the Hon. John J. Knox,
when deputy, and aubaequently a
comptroller of the currency. We visi
ted each other often socially and I
saw him dally. He was a practical
hanker, a close student of political
economy, and withal a pronounced ad
vocate of bimetallism. J wa frequent

to be a measure of wise public policy.
No thought of concealment ever en
tered the minds of Its authors or of
any of the large number of persons
who knew about It. It received unl
versaI commendation, and the reason
fnr " appeared to them ample and con-
cluslve. It was conceded that since the
foundation of the government there
alwa'8 been difficulty In keeping
sliver dollars In circulation, and that
um over Ave dollars on account
01
their slxe and weight, and there was
no demand for them for circulation
That the country had not come to spe
cie payment. In short, that they were
utterly unprofitable and useless to the
government or the citlxen, and must
be made a subsidiary coin like the half
dollar If they were to be kept In circu
lation. It never occurred to either
Comptroller Knox or Director Llnder
man that anyone would doubt the fact
that gold was the standard of the Uni
ted States at that time.
Knox admitted that we had been
practically on a gold basis since 1S34,
and he was, as I have said, a blmetal-
list of the most earnest type, as was
his friend. General Francis A. Walker,
then census commissioner. Silver at this
time had not begun to fall In price, but
discussions as to Its demonetization In
Europe were the subject of dally con
versation, and Knox would have been
utterly opposed to the adoption of a
single standard, either of gold or silver.
As to Earnest Seyd, the distinguished
European bimetallism whom It Is said
a syndicate of English bankers sent
here to bribe congressmen to pass the
act "of 1873, he was well acquainted
with Comptroller Knox, and perfectly
aware that they occupied common
ground on the subject of bimetallism,
and Mr. Seyd was strongly opposed to
the dropping of the silver dollar from
coinage, as to which he disagreed with
Knox. I
