GROWING SENTIMENT. It i tme that the south and weht are strongly in favor of free coinage of silver. With the excep tion of those organs which are more or less dominated by heavy capitalistic influences, the press of these sections is a united body. That the east st 11 stands out more or less for the gold standard is but emblematic of the conditions there existing. In the east is the great financial brokerage centre. .Millionaires swarm in New York and other cities, and many are there practically but worth a few thousands, who have the handling of foreign gold. It is for this reason that the east stands out against free coinage of silver. It would hurt gold holders to some ' extent, for the reason that it would militate against "corners', on the money market. To compass the defeat of free coinage, their press teems with assertions that a free coinage law would practically amount to forcing our country to a silver standard; that no one but owner of silver mines want suth a tfondition; that 50-cent dollars wiwild destroy our national credit, forgetting that if silver were further discriminated against that a rise in gold would immediately follow; further use of the white uirtal monetarily would give it a ehiefer value. Simultaneously with the recent rise in silver, busi ness interests assumed a much bet ter complexion, and it has been so t all times. It will soon be im possible to longer deceive a whole people on this question. A policy w hich favors any metal at the ex pense of others is one which, creates a "debased currency,'' and as a na tion we bhnll not know prosperity until this discrimination shall have ceased. That President Cleveland does not take up the silver fight is not surprising. He was not elected on that isue, but it is a fact that he has doi;e all in his power to fulfill the pledges of the party on the lines drawn which resulted in his elec tion. PENSION QUESTION. Every patriotic citizen feels that a soldier who left his blood on the battle field is entitled to a pension, provided it incapacitates him from making the mcessary effort to pro Tide his daily bread. But every one knows that our pension system has undergone grave abuses. It should be law that no soldier who has a competency shall draw bene fit simply for the reason that he lias a disability. The needy vete ran, however, should have assist ance, and no one questions the duty if the government in such cases. Many thousands of dollars are mi nually paid in pensions to parties who are beyond necessity, while ome destitute veteran dies with a meritorious claim pigeon-holed at Washington, and so it has been for years. Fraudulent claims were railroaded through the department by the hundreds and when a dem ocratic administration made a move to stop the flood, column after col uinn of villification adorned the republican press. The fact is, our congress will some time pass that no soldier who has abundant means can draw a pension. When patri otism becomes an institution for jH-rsonal pecuniary betterment on ly, it is time to call a halt. BLAME THE DEMOCRATS. Canadian revenues seem to have fallen off worse than onr own this year. Canada has no democratic ongri'ss and nobody has been tink ering with her tariff, which is strong in protection, but business has been poor over there and the treasury feces a deficit. The lose in March was 1800,000 while for the year end ing July 1st, the deficit will not be ) than $5,000,000. Last year her was a urpI.tiR of over , $4,000 000, on Aprif lut, but, ne year end- n witVri deficit of over a million.. The financial showing in Canada j this year is euid to he the worst in hor history. Springfield Repub'n. ' j As sponsor for the entire demo cratic party of this nation we plead j Bu'"y of effecting all the financial i ruin extant in the civilized world. I etroleum is o.i the raise. This is one of the results of monopoly. John D. Rockefeller is a czar when it comes to dictating the f rice of oils for lighting purposes It is reported that a large sum has been paid to competitive agents on this coast to retire from the field. They h;ive retird and now the Standard Oil Company can put the screws on the consumer. It is such moves that makes an income tax very ac ceptable, and it is really too bad that it. is not higher on such in comes as this company has been enjoying for some years.. Major McKini.ky is very reti cent about the silver question. He evidently proposes that he wfll be in a position to contradict his reputed utterances while making a tour through the south. His trip has conclusively proven to him that his party is quite divided on this all absorbing subject. He should have been better informed Ijefore he committed himself. "Mc" should have looked over and beyond his protection hobby. Notwithstanding the fact that Huntington's road, the Southern Pacific, ie supposed to be hard run on finance, it is everywhere mak ing improvement. New depots have been built, and are now un der construction all along the line. But this is no surprise, us the cor poration has had and practised a cinche on the people of Oregon and California for many vears. Hon. Thos. B. Reedseems to be keeping very still ubout that presi dential nomination, and ex-president Harrison's silence is signifi cant. The most aggravating thing about the whole affair is that each aspirant has an idea that a nomi nation is sure to be an election. This will depend, however, on the republican party's attitude on the silver question. If the council would place bars over the windows of the apartment wherein Hie jail is located it wouid give sufficient room for the exercise of prisoners. Otherwise those serving sentences should be made a factor in improving ourj city thoroughfares. President Cleveland does not stand with many democrats on the free coinage of silver. That he Wf nt on his record as regards this, years ago, is no secret. No more do many acknowledged republican leaders stand with the', silver ele ment of that party. No not even Saint McKin ley. There is a desperate effort lie ingmade in Multnomah county to get the republican party united on a gold standard. If Multnomah's goldites can control the state, no free silver men will attend the next national republican conven tion from Oregon. . The secret societies of this city and Forest Grove are in flourish ing conditions. Whilst much is said against them, those who are in a portion to know have no hesi tation in saying that it provides a great bond of intercourse between the two towns. While the republican ranks are full of patriots who desire to sacri fice themselves on the altar of the presidential candidacy for their country's welfare, not one demo crat has yet raised his voice to say that he alone can save the country. Hearing on the income tax has been set by the U. S. Supreme court for May Glh. It is to be hoped that it will be then disposed of in some manner. Of course it will be declared constitutional. WASHINGTON LETTER. Washington,!). C, Apr. 20, 1895. President Cleveland was proba bly as much disappointed at the unsatisfactory disposition of the income tax by the Supreme court as everybody else was, and he is probably quite as anxious that the case should be reheard by a full bench and the constitutionality of lax either affirmed or denied, but as a citizen he recognizes the in come tax as the law of the land pending that final decision, and promptly filled out and handed in an account of his own income up on which, he is liable to be taxed. Being in doubt as to where he should pay the tax he handed his blank to internal revenue Com missioner Miller in person, and marked it 4,at large", and it is now locked up in Mr. Miller's safe. So many stories- have been current as to the extent of President Cleve land's income, outside of his salary, that there is much curiosity to know the figures he put upon that blank. Hut it isn't likely to be gratified. It was to make sure that no careless clerk should vio late the law against making public the amount of income returned by tax payers that the President gave his blank into the personal custody of Mr. Miller. Although today is the last day upon which taxpayers can file statements of their incomes, with out being subject to sjiecified pen alties, the tax itself need not be paid until the 30th of June, and the chances are that but little more of it than has already been paid will be paid in Itefore that time, unless the supreme court hands down an affirmative decision be fore then. Should the decision be the other way it would not have to be paid at all. Unless present plans miscarry it is expected that the case will be reheard by a full bench Justice Ji'ckson is reKrtcd to have promised to sit and a de cision handed down before the close of the present term of the court. Among the attorneys recently disbarred from practice before the interior department was "Jerry" Haralson, who has a conspicuous negro member of congress in recon struction days, and who has been sentenced by the United States district court of Arkansas to one year's imprisonment and a fine of $5,000 for engaging in fraudulent pension practices. Still, every now and then some over enthusiastic republican will jump up and shout "there are no fraudulent pension ers." Judge Lochren, Commissioner of Pensions, says of the proposed mak ing of a test case against him, bv the Union Veteran Legion, in the U. S. Supreme court, to see if the ten thousand, more or less, pen sioners were legally dropped, that he will gladly aid in getting a decision on such a case. He adds that the cases of Shakespeare and Long are entirely different from the other cases in which reductions have been made or pensioners drop ped from the rolls. Nearly all the latter cases came under the Jaw of 1890, which differs radically from all previous laws. "Corporal" Tan ner is Commander of the Veteran Legion: likewise a pension attorney, which may explain his anxiety in the matter. He has issued a letter asking each member of the legion to contribute $10 toward the ex penses of making a test case, but members here say the organization has nothing to do with the scheme, and that Tanner alone is responsi ble for the letter. They sav that he ivished to send these letters out 19 mi official order of the Com mander, but that so much object ion was raised he was compelled to abandon the idea an , send them out as personal. A statement made here will he of much interest to impecunious repub lican editors, should it prove true. It is that the Alger presidential boom is shortly to take the road again. Its last tour was very ex pensive to General Alger, but very profitable to the aforesaid impecun ious editors. It is said that General Alser is confident that the fight between McKinlev and Reed, which is al ready getting quite warm, will be so bitter that it will make the nom matron ot either ot them impossi ble, and that he thinks he stands as good a chance to be struck by lightning as any of the other wait ing dark horses do. There has been a great deal of guessing as to the position I'resi dent Cleveland will occupy during the next national campaign and, were it not that it would be to a certain extent a violation of confi dence, your correspondent could make a good guess. However, it can lie stated without any viola tion of confidence, that at the prop er time President Cleveland will make known, over his own signa ture or in some other authorative manner, just where he stands and what relation he expects to hold to the next campaign. . -- COMMUNICATED. Editor The Argus: "These are strange times," a person was heard saying the other day. Each possesses the others' wants; and al though we are all in possession of more than we need of some things, we are all in want of some things. The farmers are in want of money to pay their taxes, and they want new clothing. The tailor wants a chance to make them, and the manufacturers want to sell the cloth. The farmer wants to build a new house, aud the lumberman wants to sell him the necessary lumber. Again, the labor er wants to work for the mill man, but all are unable to have their wants sup plied. Why? Some people say that it is lack of confidence. If such be the case tiow are we going to restore it? Will borrowing money from England and promising to pay it when most of us are dead help us any. Will it enable the farmer to hire the laborer that is in need of work? I think not; it will add to the burden, already too heavy. Many of the people begin to understand that the gold standard money system is the cause of the existing hard times. What a lucky thing it is for the few that con trol the gold that there is nothing else that has any value. It enables them to exchange their gold for the fanners' wheat and other products of labcr at their own figure. If there had been ho gold in the world it would have been hard to found a substance soiree enough for a money material that could have been used to control labor and all pro ducts of labor like it can. If the gov ernment stamps a piece of paper and calls it money and pays it to an official for his services that paper mil is re deemed every time it changes hands; that otncial may pay it to hi merchant; the merchant can pav it back to the government for custom duties, so you see it has pertormeu its function as well as borrowed gold would, aud has not cost the country nor the producers of the country one cent of interest. John Hanskn. A Business Opportunity. Business is starting again but at low figures, as is always the case, after such a panic as we are just emerging from. I have a large prairie farm in Union county, of 0 acres, with good house of G rooms, a good bi rn, 4U0 acres in cultivation, and wa tered by Catherine Creek. This land lays in the immediate vicinity of the famous Nodine limteli which consists of 4000 acres of the finest land in the country. The 960 acres have been held at $1-1.400, but can be had now for $10.")(i0, and $4800 can rest, on the farm for from 3 to 5 years at 8 per cent interest. Owner will take $5(J00 in farm land in this county. A party who knows the land around Hot Luke says that it cannot be surpassed in the world, and only $11 per acre.
