DO PRICES DEPEND UPON AMOUNT OR UPON KIND OF MONEY f; Facta Which Will Help t IMnpel the More Money" Delualow Some Passes For the Sllverlta rrureeaor WbolArs Conducting tbe "National riaaanhU School'' Why Are Prrose Blah and Per Capita Money Low In Silver Standard Countries? Should I fcrpo.lt In Banks Be Included Kn Estimating Amount ol Money Which Affects rrieesT l: 1 . One of tbe numerous fallacies ttpon which the free silver dcluHiou is found ed is tbe UHRTjuiptinn by all silverite and cheap nioney advocates that pjrioes are regulated by the amount of money lu circulation and thut there is any iieo esaury relation between prices "and amount of money. Wbeu driven from one position, the biiut tallists take ' ref uge in another juat as insecure and il logical, but perhaps a little more bid- deu by sophistry. The more enlighten ed among them do not uow assert jtbat to double tbe amount of money Is to double prices. Tbey generally admit tbat tbe rapidity of circulation and tba use of credits affects tbe efficiency of money and prevents an exact statement of tbe relation between amount of mon ey and goods, but tbat mora money un doubtedly means higher price, and vice versa. Tbe per capita idea of money so prev alent with ailvcrites is disproved in mauy ways. Matistics or prices aud amjraiit of nioney per capita in nse iu different countries at the same or at different time fail to show any cer tain relation betweeu prices and money. Thus, while priies have declined iu the world and in this country very greatly since 1M00 or 1S54 or ls.73, the amount cf money in uHe bus increased enor mously. From a per capita circulation of 14. 99 in 1K00, U.ti!) in 1862 and (18.19 iu 187 we uow have ope of (23, aud tbi notwithstanding the greater rapidity of circulation of modern dol lars and tbe vastly improved and ex tended nee of credits. Will some "more money" advocate pli'use explain this great fall of prices iu connection with tbe greut increase in per capita moneyf Again, the per capita circulation of the gold standard countries of tbe world is about (18; that of tbe silver stand ard countries only about (4.80. Will some of tbe silverite professors who are conducting "tiuancial schools" in west ern and southwestern states explain to their classes wby prices in silver stand ard countries are about twice as hiiib as in gold stuudard countries, although tbe per capita circulation is less than one-third as great? Will tbey explain that tbe value of the material from Which money is made has much more to do with prices than the amount of Sioney in use? Will tbey tell their class es that gold has always been more val uable, weight for weight, than silver. and that it has recently become 83 time a valuable while most of tbe coining ratio of the world were established wbeu gold was only 15 or 16 times as valuable as silver? Will they then ex plain tbat tbe Value of both gold and silver bullion is fixed in tbe Ions run by tbe cost of production and that there fore the v u hie of bullion dis s not de pend npon the quuiltity of money iu cir culation? Will they try to make it clear that if it tukes five hour of labor to produce a bushel of wheat and five hours of labor to produce 83. SI grains of gold one product will exchange fis- the other tbat is, the price of w heat will be (1 per bushel under our present standard? Will tbey then add tbat if it reqnirta only 21, hours' work to pro duce enough silver (871 v4 grains) in make a dollar tbat the bushel of wheat will not exchange for less than two sil ver dollars, and tbat this is tbe reason why prices are higher iu silver standard countries? Will they explain the origi nal "American financial policy," w hich was to kp the coinage! ratio as close as possible to tlie maiket ratio? Will they ak the members of their classes to vote to restore, this "thoroughly Amer ican financial policy?" If the corps of silver irofessors and cheap tin im y statesmen who are con ducting the "national financial school" fail to answer the preceding questions. rxrhaps tbey are willins to explain wbat kinds of money are iucluded in making up the amount of nioney which, affects price. lis it include all kinds of government or state paper money, as well as gold, silver and copper coins? Does it iiK'lu.le bunk notes, which furm a considerable proportion of oor preseut circulating medium? If you include government and bunk notes, why nut include bank credits? Are mit more ex- change aud gr ater i n halite eflrcted Ly means of chicks than by means cf either paper honey or coins? Is it not a easy for one who has credit"' ide- posits) lu a bank to buy and sell a if it bad Iuoimt in liia txxisl? k tbas 1 a I credit or deposits necessarily oonsist of money at all? If anniu bus that amount of property, can he not have (1,000,000 credit with hi bank on which to draw checks at any time? Cuuuot such a-man buy and sell ou a lurge scale witbont the use of ordinary money? Why, then, should bank deiosits not be included in making np tbe per capita circulation of a couutry ? When tbe classes of tbe "national financial school" can puss an examina tion on these "per capita" questions, we will prepare a set of qnestious on other subjects, as, for instance, the cause of bib and low interest rate$ tbe advan tages of high prices, the blessings of cheap money, etc. Byron W. Holt. One or Grant's Victories. One of General Grant's greatest vic tories was not wou iu war, but in times of profound peace. On April S8, 1874, be vetoed an inflation bill which had passed both bouses of congress, by de cided majorities, aud back of which were mauy eminent Republican poli ticians who imagined that tbey saw sure defeat ahead for their party unless they made concessions to those clamor ing for "more money. " The pressure for the bill was not all political. Many timid business men nrged the president to sign tbe bill in order to "stop agita tion," In this trying situation President Grant showed patriotism wholly above partisanship and a clesr conception of aoand financial prindplea, onobsenred by shortsighted notions of immediate business expediency. He vetoed the bill because in theory it would produce inflation. "Tbe theo ry," he declared, "In my belief i a de parture from the true principle of finance, national interest, national obli gations to'creditors, congressional prom ise, party pledge on the part of both political parties arid of personal views and promises made by me in every an nual message seut to congress and in each Inaugural address. " So far from being a "settlement" tbe bill invited agitation. "Should it fail to create the abundance of circulation expected of it, the friends of the measure, particularly those out of congress, would clnuior for such inflation as would give tho expect ed relief." Aud he defined his general principle in these preguuut words, "I am not a believer in any artificial meth od of making paitr money equal to coin when the coin is not owned or held ready to redeem tbe promise to pay, for paper money ia uotbing more than promise to pay and ia valuable ex actly in proportion to the amount of ooin that it can be converted into. " Tbe monetary battle of this country are not yet all fought Grant' word and acta sbonld inspire those engaged in tba present struggle. The coinage of thj mints of the United States in the flscal yearwhli-h ends with this month will be In round numhers 100 million dollars, which Is a greater sum than in any year In the history of,the country ex cept the year 1881. Three-fourths of the amount thus coined is gold. The remainder is silver, subsidiary and minor coins. Tho:eoiriage of the calendar year 1 sort was in round numbers Oil mi I lion dollars. Mr. Bryan, It will lie remembered, In his sKaches last fall triumphanly quoted Senator Sherman to the effect that 42 million dollars was necessary to le added to the currency of the country each year to ksep pace with the growth of the imputation and business and assumed I hat since the repeal of theJSherman law there was nothing on Ibe statute books to pro vide this addition to the currency. These official figures, w hich show that in the calendar year of Iniif, and ft-cal year of 197 the addition to our count ry by coinage of gold and silver at our own mints has ls n two and a half times as much as be thus indicates was necessary to keep pace with the growth ! population, des troy the argumeuts which he and his free coinage asrsa-iates have made and are still msklng.tbat free coinage of silver is needed to supply the money needed for this purrsea?. When. It is considered in this connection that Ibe amount of money in circulation today is fl:H,ll!,tiia ;gresler Ithan that of a year ago, it Is not surprising that tbe advocates of fr coinage recognize the fact that their cause Is growing weaker with every day's de velopments. Tba Pendleton Tribuue wblcb sus pended some weeks ago is to I re vived under a new corporation. THE S0BTH NtXTUX MI 51 EM. A representative of the Salem Siatexiuan after a trip to tbe mines) up tbe North Htntiam says: Prospectors are galloping all over the mining region, from Klkhorn on the Nortb Sautian as far up the steep mountains to the headwaters of Hen line, Stack, Horn, Tin Cup, Cedar, bwht fTvl tiv. Sfcr Ai -YeUatf' tributaries of the roaring, ripling, frantic foaming, lea nil g, dash ins- North Ftrrk. Wherever a ledge of mineral show lis head the mark of the prospector's pick Is In evidence, The side of the tree nemreet fffe vein of mineral taar ing ore bis tyjen blazed to receive tbe notice ofTocation of the mine. In many Instances location notices are about three deep in every prospect hole and tunnel. Wherever unpat ented claims have not been worked recently tbereare good evidences that some fellow in search for the glitter ing metal has juued the diggings and renamed the mine. Only a very small per cent, of ibe locations made are on Hie with the county clerk, but this filing is usually done when the annual assessment work is com mowed. Many of the location made are not iu earnest, hut rather as a bluff in an endeavor to get a few dol lars tor the claim from prospectors that pass that way. Some fellows who are galloping over the mountain from day to day have as many as a down or twenty claims located and staked off and the probabilities are that they will not do the (KM) annual assessment work on a single one of them. But this Is always true of mining countries, especially in a vicinity where rich finds ".have been made or a btmm is developing. About a quarter of a mile up Hen- line creek estimating from where the Gold creek trail crosses Henllne, Is located the tunnel of the old Capital mine, located and worked many years ago by Salem parties. This claim Is patented arid nothing has been done in it for a number of years, The tunnel runs in probably 300 feet but a local cave near the entrance bars all egress.' Henllne. creek is about a mile and a half above Pope's place and Pope's place Is . four, miles above Elkhorn. Across Henllnejand farther up on the mountain ia tbe Lily mine. And there are minor shafts and tunnela all over the hills In its vicinity. Continuing on up the trail towards Mineral Harbor, claims are staked off abundantly la anticipation of an awakening in min ing Interests. Prospectors are going in every few days and the trails are already well beaten down. At Min eral Harbor the Chicago mine has shown some start llngly rich assays. This mine is probably a mile up the Santiam from the point where Gold creek empties Into it. At this confluence the new trail for ths Gold Bug mine for the White Reeve company crosses Gold creek and b ads over the side of the hill for nearly three miles until touching the Wall Street and Gold Bug leads. The tunnel is now in about eighty feet and ths ore grows richer the farther they go In. Five assays have been madejof the different grades of ore, with the following results per ton. Gold Silver Cnpr Tolal ( 8 26 (2 88 (13 42 (24 60 12 00 3 77 24 26 40 03 4 51- 6 48 13 40 26 42 3 72 9 43 47 07 60 22 65 80 8 34 14 30 78 44 In these assays silver Is estimated at 60 cents per ounce gold at (20 and copper at 11 cents per pound. Gen erally speaking these are bese ores, there being no fine milling ore and consequently no rich placer diggings. Development of this Igroup depends, therefore, uon the advent of a smel ter Into the camp. The White peo ple are figuring usn putting a small smelter, but whether or not they will be successful in concluding their negotiations remains to be seen. Should a smelter oe put in anywhere up there the group would prove rich, for the orev though base, is rich and easily to be had for the labor. There are no mode of transporting the ore to a smelter, and even if there were the freight charges would prove quite an item.

The Ui'ld creek, country is also showing some revival. Mr. Pos? Is going to push tbe lunneljat the French mine, on Gold creek, atsait midway between the mouth of the creek and the Gold Bug. AUive the French tunnel about a half mile and on Gold creek, Is the Silver Dollar mine, the ores fniro which show assays as rich as those from the Gobi Bug. And there are Iocs t inns and tunnels all the way up this creek and the other streams almost to the very top of the mountains.

IASHINUT0V 1 01 NT V. Saturday July 3rd the Oregonlau Issued a 36 page mining edition. The article touching Uxn the mineral re sources of this county is here repro duced: "Washington county, Oregon, is an srm of the sea bay, gulf or sound flllud up. The bottom has never been touched. At Hillsboro, the light nd water company sank a well to the depth of 320 feet without striking rock or a single pebble. It was a strata of sand and then clay and again sand. An abundance of water was found before the 200-foot level was reached, though the auger was sent down 320 feet. The company was afraid to go deeper lest sulphur should be found that would nxil the good water struck in the higher lev els. This was actually done at Heav er ton, where the 600-foot level was tapisnl and a volume of sulphuretted hydrogen encountered whi;h fouled the water supply altovo, so that the well had to be abandoned. This ge ological formation is a very paradise for the farmer, and only .furnishes the miner a camping place as he pass es through. Though the Tualatin plains can en tice only the agriculturist, the rim rock is like the mountain ranges of the Pacific slates. It is gaitbed and seamed with mineral deioaits,though "undeveloped" must be written over all of them. We know we have the veins and lodes, but that is all. It may be mentioned that' the rlcb iron ore bed of Oswego.Clackamas county, Crosse tbe county line and extends through tbe southeastern part of this Oounty. Tbe mine has not been op ened, and really we do not know what we have there In quantity. Iron is known to exist across the old lake bed, 25 miles away, among tbe hills north and west of Glmicoe. Further around in the Coast range are coe.1 croppings. but with thousands and thousands of cords of fir, the best steam wood in the world, and no means of transportation, there are no Inducements to uncover the black diamonds. On tbe west branch of Clearwater creek, a tributary of Gales creek, is a well defined ledge of silver-bearing quartz, but the ore Is refractory, and at the time it was assayed, three years ago, there was no inelhisl known lor reducing it, hence It is all there yet. In Scoggins vslley, drained by a tributary of the Tualatin, is a large quarry of blue sandstone well adapt ed to building purposes. This.qusr ry is, or was, owned by J. G. ldssi, of Forewt Grove. The ledge has la-en exposed and some stone taken out. The first story and trimmings of Marsh hall, Pacific university, are of material taken from this quarry. The stone is of a similar grade to tbat used in the Chamber of Commerce ar.d the trimtoffice in Portland. This quarry is near the line of the South ern Pacific Company's track, and the stone can easily and economically ls transported to the building centers. There are vague rumors that a ledge of granite crops out bigh up on Gales Creek, but no one has explored It. Certain it Is that granite boulders are frequently met with on the top of the ground In this county. Ofcourse these have been deptnited in recent ages. There Is no county In tbe slate where minerals are known to exist that has been pross-ted less. The land Is so fertile aud Its cultivation so easy that agriculture has lsen al most the only pursuit. About three weeks ago Matthew Bros., of pleasant Valley, Line county, lost a Hereford bull, asys the Kugene Guard. The first of this week hunters on the norlh side ol Pisgah mountain, opposite Goshen on the east, found the bull in a deep hole, or rather depression, on the norlh side of the mountain. Blocks and ro were secured and the bull was lifted out alive, though very pi sir and wesk from his long fast. He had been missing for 18 days, during the whole of which time it is probable he was confined in the hole with no water or feed, except a few small shrubs which he hsd eaten to the ground. He weighed 1700 pounds when he was missed, but came nut much lighter. Te Car Cnejetlnatlon revet. Take Cascarats ( eaov Cathartic tor or fat. 11 V- C 0. u care. truc'u rvfuaa aaoaci.
