the seas" mav be transferred from ! into service to protect property and
When the Civil war was over and
the 1.600,000 soldiers returned to
their homes, and with the gradual
return to normal conditions, there
was a general readjustment of labor
conditions which together with a
rapid decline of the prices of farm
products and commodities, brought
on a series ef years of very hard
times for the people.
Hail it not
been for the large lx »dies of govern
ment land to furnish homes for the
returned soldiers, the financial col-
I a ( mm * would almost have destroyed
the nation. With the nation finan
cially in the grip of Wall street the
wonder is that conditions were not
worse than they were.
Some of the older men who passed
through those times and suff« red
the losses for which they were in no
wise to blame, think like conditions
will prevail after the present war.
The Tribune does not think surh will
be the case
While we do not pose
as a financial wiseacre we may, like
you, form an opinion baaed upon
conditions at the present day as com
pared with the days following the
Civil war.
Primarily we have had no decline
in the value of our currency as com
pared with gold.
The greenback
which declined to lesa than half the
value of gold in Civil war days, is
today worth its face in gold. That
is to say the regional bank notes
have supplied the place of green
backs. Hence there will be no long
struggle to resume specie payment
which required ten years to reach
after the Civil war.
While there is sure to be a decline
from the present war-boosted prices
for both products and labor, the de
cline will not be nearly so great as
after the Civil war, not sufficient al
least to create a panic as in 1873.
The decline in prices will lie very
gradual. Indeed England and Erance
and Italy and Belgium, to say noth
ing about the demands of other na
tions. will want great quantities of
our products of the farm and our
factories. In Belgium and northern
Erance they will have to replace the
machinery of which they have been
robbed by the Huns before they can
begin manufacturing. In the mean
time they too will have to be sup
plied largely from the shops and
fields of the United States.
The enthusiasm with which the
allied nations celebrated our inde
pendence day is evidence that the
greatest admiration and good will
exists among them all for the United
States ami especially the Yanke«-
soldier in Erance. Thia good will
will not die with the end of the war.
It will last for all time; for ail of
them- nations now understand the
purposes and principles of the Yan
kee nation as never before. They
can now ase bow utterly unselfish

Another moat important feature

tradesman will be the dippers in
chief. Even our returned soldiers
will practice the use of the dipping
shears to some extent.
So it can he seen that <>ur govern
ment of today is guarding against
the things which brought <»n th«-
hard times after the Civil war ami
the confidence of the people was
never so firmly fix«M in the ability
of our president and congress as it
is today, nor as firmly united in its
support. Therefore we have reason
to expect many years of universal
prosperity am<»ng the people and
that the old time financial |>anic
which brought ruin to thousands, is
• matter of history.
WHAT IS AN EMERGENCY?
Our legislature enacts*! a law
creating an emergency board whose
particular province is when an emer
gency expenditure is asked for. to
examine into matters and see if an
emergency is merited Ix-forr order
ing the expenditure allowed.
For instance, the legislature makes
an appropriation of money deemed
sufficient for the support of our
state hospital for the insane for two
years, supposing conditions, prices,
etc., shall continue normal.
But
suppose conditions change as has
lx*«-n the case since the legislature
adjourned? This emergency Ixtard
can step in as representative of the
legislature and order the state treas
urer to honor a sufficient draft to
cover the emergency which the leg
islature could not anticipate when
th«' regular appropriation was made
This is the only power granted by
the legislature to the emergency
board.

They would vote money with which

SENATOR WALTER M. PIERCE
If everv man and woman could
m««**t and talk with Senator Walter
M. Pierce there is small doubt but
what he would lie the next governor
of Oregon.
The senator was in Scio a few
hours last week and ma«!e a splendul
impression with the people whom he
met. The Tribune man had perhaps
a better <>p|n>rtunity to form an
opinion of Senator Here* as we en
joyed the most of Wednesday after-
no«>n in his c<»ni|>any.
Mr. Pierce, while probably 55
years of age. seems in the prime of
a vigorous manhotwi. Being one of
Union county *s big wh«*at growers
and stockmen his out door life gives
a hearty and cheerful appearance
He is a versatile companionable man
