cheajiening ( the metal, which luw been

" "of k"giitlative enactment." It is rvailly
1 encouiatjintf to hear to ttentorian a voh-e
aa lioswcll G. liurr'a crying hi the 11
iuukUI wililcriMW for silver an monoy of
final redemption. The ratio Uetu
4 JkheU according to the relative cost of
L - imkltiL-iUui ot tie two luotals. The
m
: ratio is not established, as some auppose
accusing to the relative pnxlucts of tho
v two metals. For example: From ISjI
to 1S72 the product of .gold was 74.1 ier
cent, silver 23.S per ceufr rutio 13.3 to 1 ;
V from to 1S92, the product of sold
wa4S per cent, silver 52 per cent rutio
24 to 1. When the American ratio of 10
til was established the actual ratio was
13.5 to 1, but Thos. II. Benton, and
!.tW leadiinr men of that day, favored
the 16 to 1 ratio because that was the
amount of silyer contained in tho Span
.' isli dollar, which was then largely in
riimilatiou ill the United States. We
in a confirmed believer in binietalisni
mid consider it the duty of congress to
give the country safe and consistent sil
ver legislation, but we do not insist on
the coinage ratio, of Itt to 1. The ratio
'." stiouki be based upon the actual cost of
jtrralurtioa of the two metals, for it is a
very difficult matter for a nation to keep
its money at par when coined below the
production cost of the metal, lint to
insist that the market value of bullion
regulatei the coinage ratio is absurd, it
is always based upon the cost of produc
tion; .! , ,
. ,, Tne new Pacific cable to Hawaii is a
step towards an 'American protectorate
5. over those islands or perhaps their nlti-
mate annexation. As was to be expected
the great majority of democratic senators
would Appose an appropriation, for it
is one of the fads of the administration
- to oppose anything looking towards the
Extension of Anierican authority over

s gling; valiantly for self-existence against
Internecine foes and foreign r.gj're?8i' n.
r and the day is not distant when the
f strong arm of the United States must be
j extended for tho protection of Hawaii
Mr. Cleveland lost an opportunity to
make ; his administration historical
(, when he stubbornly refused to recoc
? nize the Hawaiian people's plea for
annexation. The president seems to
have a congenital weakness to always
stumble at the wrong moment. He is
utterly incapable qt coming in touch
with the spirit of the American people
or comprehending the manifest destiny
of the Great Itepuhiic. He is the un
fortunate victim of liis own colossal ,

V I is a decidedly Iinmiliating spec-
; lacle to the people of the United States
, to see ' the secretary of the treasury
pleading with ' a New York banking
house to lend its influence at home and
iibruad to protect the treasury "against
- withdrawals of gold pending the com
plete contract" of the new bond issue.
This, then, is tlie complexion to which
the single gold standard has forced the
country at last. The demand for gold
lias become so great that the depiction
4tf the treasury reserve is continual and
inevitable. Tlie banks accumulate j
large - amounts - in greenbacks and
treawry notes and (lien systematically
present them to the snbtreasury for
payment in gold. The secretary of the
treasury then puts this paper currency
into circulation again, and a continual
drainage is thus kept tip on the treasury.
The only hope for the country nnder
the presentadiniiiistration is either an
increased revenue' tax or the cancel la
tioii of this jier currenef as fast as it
Is taken in at the treasury. " !
It now appears that
Japanese will yet dictate terms of peace
within the hoarv walls of Pekin. The
Chinese seem utterly incapable of re
alizing when they are soundly thrashed,
and nothing short of complete humilia
tion and helpless impotenco will bring
them to a sense of their utter suhjuga
tion. The Japanese are already complete
musters of the gateway to the imperial
city and it is only a question ot good
weather when their K-upp guns will bo
battering down the walls of the capital.
Thkuk has been another Celuhazzar's
feast and this time it was held in Ore
eon s proud metropolis. The members
of the legislature were "wined and
dined" at the expense of the plethoric
bank account of Oregon's distinguished
Ex-Senator W. H. Corbett. The ban
quet was ostensibly a social affair but
tlie ungodly press has dared to hint
that it was really a still hunt for a lucky
senatorial "dark horse" as Mr. Dolph's
possible successor.
It would be well for our factious and
belligerent legislators to give a part of
tl.eii valuable time to considering the
question of retrenchment and economy.
The taxpayers of Oregon keep a watchful
eye upon state expenditures and they
will hold their representatives morally
and politically responsible for any ex
tra burdens of taxation. The legisla
ture has already wasted thousands of
dollars of the people's money in useless
contention.
