0 gailtr democrat fLAUKANTLY DISHONEST". Tramp a man' corn and he will iquea'. Touch a man's pocket and he will resent It. Suggest a financial policy (or the whole country as against the special Inter ests of the gold bugs, and they quickly squirm. The Oregonian replying to an article wiltten by John P Robertson, fav oring the increase of currency of tne coun try savs that the motive ac the bottom of the movement for" such Increase is " flag rantly dishonest." That paver' position ii, that If the currency be increased, the purchasing power ot a dollar will De rela tively decreastd. If this argument be trne, (and we have uo disposition to con rovert it,) then the reverse proposition Is true, I. e, if the currency Is contracted, the put chasing power of the dollar Is Increase cl Then the necessary conclusion would be that the motive at the bottcm of the move ment to contract the currency would be flagrantly dishonest." How many times during the last twenty-five years has the currency been contracted both by legisla tive and administrative action. The motive at the bottom of the matter was "flagrant ly dishonest." Did the Orennian cry out against such dishonesty? Not at all. And why not? Simply because contiactlon Is In the Interest of gold bugs and the gold single standard, and the Ortfoman is, far ece'.leuet, the promoter and defender o f gold bugs and gold bugs Interests. Old any one ever hear that paper protesting against the "flagrantly dishonest" scheme by which silver was demonetized in 1873 in consequence of which the circulating medium of the country was contracted? Certainly not. And why? Because con tracting the silver circulating medium of the country relatively Incieased the pur chasing power of the gold dollar which was a direct benefit to the gold bugs whose organ it Is. It viewed with complacency and satisfaction that state of things under which the gold bug might make from one to two dollars every time he manipulated a $20 gold piece, for silver, after demone tization, was at a discount of from 5 to 10 per cent. This' loss fell exclusively on the poor for they handled only silver. To this "flagrantly dishonest" means of cheat. Ing the poor the Orrgoniatt entered no protest, because Its lord and master, '.the gold combination, was reaping a rich har vest. Then, when the democratic partv in congress came to the aid of the masses against the "flagrantly dishonest" 6cheine of the classes, by attempting to pass a bill to remoneti.e silver, the Orconian,ea by the gold hrg standards of the east joined In to defeat the bill. It has been constant in season and out of season in its efforts to promote the scheme of contraction. Every one knows that the continual Increase in population and the Increase In the trade and business of the country demands a corresponding Increase in the currency of the country. The Ortzonian under stands this truth as well as any one, but It would not cotiply with this demand because the special interest which It repre sents would be better promoted by con traction. Six new Docket States, all far west of the great centres of finance, commerce and trade, wilh no greater population than the single city of Philadelphia, have 1 2 votes in the United States Senate, wSile six other States of the Union, in which are ali the great centres of money and business, have enly 12 Senators to icpre tent a population of 23,626,500.
