On last Friday evening there was as sembled in the A. O. U. W. hall at Tigard, ville one of the largest audiences ever seen in this place, the occasion being a joint debate on the Silver question by Hon. S. B. Kiggen candidate for State Senator from Multnomah county, and Hon. S. C. Spincer Portlands Silver tongued orator. Hon. W. D. Hare was to represent the Populists side of the question, but failed to put in an appearance, much to the disappointment of his populist brethren. Mr. Riggen advocated the free and un limited coinage of silver at the ratio of 16 to 1 and Mr. Spencer opposed that doctrine. Mr. Spencer opened the discussion and presented the question in a clear logical way that was convincing to his large appreciative audience, who freguently applauded his thunders of oratory, when he s h o ,e d th e fallacy of the populate argument of Free Silver. He said “ To give free coinage to silver means to put into unlimited circulation silver dollar pieces, the intrinsic value of which is less than one-half of the gold dollar, our present standard. As the government would no longer stand be hind these pieces to give them a fictitious value, as at present, our standard of value would drop at once one-half. The pieces would still be dollars, but their purchasing power would be but one-half as great as at present. “ The great objection to the proposed change to a silver basis is the wrong that would be done to holders of obligations calling for dollars and payable in the future. “ Such obligations are mainly bonds issued by the Nation or State by counties or other local divisions, railroads, or other corporations, and mortgages issued upon real estate— all calling for dollars at some future time. “ The amount of these obligations in clude at least the following expressed in even millions.

Total ........ $13,235,000,000 “ Should the silver dollar become the standard the total wealth of the country would, perhaps, not be affected but there would be an actual loss to the holders of these obligations of one-half of the total amount or $6,167,500,00 and a cor responding gain to the obligators In other words the tree coinage of silver would in its operation, take more than $6,000,000,000 of property, one-tenth of the entire wealth of the country from its present owners, and transfer it without consideration, to other parties who have ! no right to it, and this exclusive of a 1 vast amount of personal obligations." 1 This is bare faced robbery and the ! American people will not stand such rob bery and will arise in righteous indigna tion to such a crime, and I appeal to you to night, you who have homes, farms and families, and you who have children to educate, to meet such injustice and for ever silence it by going out to the polls next June and November and cast your votes for Thos.

B .t ,h is populist friends excused him, saying that it came by force ofhabit and early training in Republican ranks. Mr. Silencer followed Mr. Riggen and summed up all al" he ‘ said in about ten min utes in such :h a way that the audience yel led themselves hoarse, and another no ticeable feature was that some of the Pops cheered as loudly as any. "Force of habit,” perhaps. When Mr. Spencer closed, the large audience showed their appreciation by demonstrations sometimes seen in a democratic convention, by throwing their hats in the air and cheering. Mr. Kiggin had the closing address, but it was a mere repetition of what he had al ready said, and he received very little applause. Thu» closed one of the most interesting debates of the campaign in this place. Mr. Spencer demonstrated that he was a man who had studied these questions thoroughly and knew how to present them in a convincing'w ay that could he easily understood. One noticeable feature of the evening was the large number of ladies prefer which shows their interest in politics (Veo. A. Hall. 1
