ANSWKK.
Tho Ort'gonlnri answers the Ren
ernl demand of tho Farmers' Alll
ance for an Increased circulating
medium iu theso werds:
I3ut how are they going to get It,
us a class or as Individuals, through
an increase In the volume of the
circulation? Suppose the amount of
money iu circulation were to be in
creased 20, 50 or 100 per cent in a
year by the coinage or sliver or tbe
issue of government paper. The
new money would not be a dona
tion to tho people of the country. It
would not be distributed rer canila
or according to need. It could be
put in circulation onlv bv Davine it
out, in ordinary course ot business,
to creditors of government, to re
deem bonds, for Interest on tbe
publlcdebt, Iu salaries to officials, to
army and navy contractors, found
ers of ordnance and others of that
srenus. In nolotof fnnt. most nf tlu
addition would go,to capitalists for
extraordinary and perhaps ex
travagant government expenditures.
induced by tbe supposed need of
putting money into circulation.
This is a feeble line of argument.
As well say what le the use of gov
ernment issuing any money at all?
The theory that the volume of circu
lating medium bos not any relation
to the stringency of the times has
long since been abandoned by the
ablest financiers in all countries. All
governments attempt lo supply an
adequate circulating medium.
Viewed merely as a commodity, the
farmers are right in asking an in
creased volume of money. If society
were resolved back Into the con
ditions of barter and trade, jt would
make a great difference whether
I bare were plenty of muskrat skins
to put in circulation, or whether
they were scarce as hen's teeth, as to
their purchasing power.
The question of the Oregonian is
foolish. It presumes that people do
not get money more or less 'easily
because of the financial policies of
the government. When Wall street
is on the verge of a panic, when
Jay Gould ties up all tbe hard cash
available In tbe New York bauks,
tue secretary oi tne treasury opens
the treasury and relieves the strain,
avoids a fiuanclal crash, and the
Oregonian calls it wisdom. But
how the farmers are going to get
money any easier by action of gov
ernment, it cannot Imagine.
The futility of the Oregonlan's re
ply is apparent in that it is based
upon a theory, while the demand of
the farmers is based upon an actual
condition. What government can
do for bankers and speculators It
can do for the people. Uncle Sam is
not more beholden to Jay Gould
than to the poorest farmer in Ore
gon. He has good grounds to peti
tion for a different and better system
or nnauee at the bands or a govern
ment, that always comes swiftly
and surely to the relief of bankers.
GOOD WILL TO ALL,
Tbe wise editor of the Est Ore
gonian thus addressed his hearers
Christmas eye:
"A merry, merry Christmas to all!
Peace ou earth, good will to men.
Were this the intent and purpose of
mankind there would be no panics
for them to worry about; no selfish
ends to gain; no pain and trouble to
contend with. Knowledge Is the
great "long felt want." Ignorance
Is tbe gigantic obstacle in tbe way
of happluess and plonty. If the
world were kin each could view
himself as others viewed him
there would be uo schemes, no rob
beries, no Injustice, no destruction,
uo decay, no death. Every man's
band would be a friendly one; his
troubles and burdens yours. Peace
on earth, good will to men will come
when our selfish triumphs are dis
covered to be hollow mockeries. We
laugh at tbe gnats ilylug luto the
flame of tbe candle aud destroying
themselves; but it seldom occurs to
us that the ouly difference between
tbe gnats and ourselves Is that one
does not kuow what the candle
really is and the other has not
knowledge enough to probe selfwh
neaa to such a depth as to discover
that It is simply tbe flame In another
form.
Fools always laugh at one another,
Tbe wise man laughs little, but bis
enjoyment la keeuer and of finer
fibre than tue fool's, M'ne quiet
man's toui is steeped in peace, iue
farther a man is from wisdom tbe
more noisy la be; the more he be
lieves In "blood for blood," In tbe
usefulness of armies, and lu loud
aud demouslratlva enjoyment when
successful over hb enemies. Tbe
wise man has no enemies to punish.
He work for truth, and truth means
jtwtlostoall men, Injury to none,

WIIKRK HOE THE ltROFIT COMIC
IN?
Two officers of tho Oregon Press
Association aro distinguishing
iiicmscivrs iy leadership In the re
peal of tho mortgage tnx law and
exemption law. Tho West Shore
has cartoons each week showing
bow tho deluded farmer Is only
burdening himself with these laws
while the capitalist is benefitted.
Yet, strange as It may seem, the
farmer protests at removal of tbe
alleged burdens, aud tbe capitalist
Is tbe only one who Is kicking at the
benefits ho Is supposed to receive.
Tho farmers' organizations pledged
members of the legislature before
election to not repeal theso lavs,
and whenever tbey express them
selves slnco they fall not to oppose
repeal. Either the farmers do not
kuow what tbey want, or West
Shore does not know what they
want. WestBhore represents these
laws as clubs raised to smite capital,
while capital escapes a,ul the farm
ers are clubbed. If the farmers are
clubbed by these laws they are very
happy to be clubbed and ask to be
clubbed some more. If these laws
allow the capitalist to escape then
West Shore will not complain, for
Its commiseration of the agricultur
ist is not appreciated. West Shore
profits from these cartoons must
come from outside Oregon, as it is
not apparent thai the labor Involved
in their production, (wbieh is not a
labor of lovf,) will be properly rec
ompensed by sny element of our
population. But where does the
profit come In?
Tbe secretary of the Oregon Press
Ass'u has also teoently Incurred the
expense to travel in Washington
and collate opinions about the Ore
gon tax laws. Tbe opinions are all
that be sought for, as tbey are all
unfavorable to Oregon laws. These
people of Washington are not con
tent to make their own laws but are
quite willing to forego the autono
my of states rights and unmake such
Oregon laws as do not suit. If Mr.
Pentlaud desires to influence Ore
gon law makers it would be quite as
well were he to collate tbe opinion
of Polk county taxpayers. That
would have some influence perhaps
with members of that county, If tbe
grange did not already prevent by
securing before-electlon pledges,
and thus head ofl tke young man's
educational campaign. Perhaps tbe
taxpayers of Polk are modest about
expressing an opinion and have
sent tbe youug man at their expense
to first get the opinion of the world
at huge..
So far as we can observe the press
of the state is not falling in with
the Washingtonlan tax reform
movement. Tbe disinterested ad
vice of other states, to whom Ore
gon is loaning money at higher
rates than are obtainable here, is not
meeting with a whirlwind of ap
proval by the press of Oregon. It is
true advance sheets of the results of
Mr. Pentland's exploration were
furnished tho Oregonian. But It is
only one of Oregon's many news
papers that are often mistaken in
their views.
PUBLIHU TUB LA ITS.
A bill bos been prepared by tbe
legislative committee of the Oregon
Press Association, to be submitted
to tbo legislature providing for the
publication of the laws in the news
papers of the state having a circula
tion of a thousand copies, tor which
they are to receive compensation at
the rate of five cents per folio. There
would no doubt be some advantage
to the readers to know the laws as
they are passed,butlu our oplulon tbe
taxpayers would receive a far more
valuable service from the state, to
have a law passed making it a duty
of county commissioners to rder
the publication of all official county
proceedings iu the local papers for a
stipulated compeusatiou. As a rule
the people are Ignorant of the finan
cial standing of the county iu which
they live, and what It costs to main
tain tbelr owu local government.
There would be a beuellt derived
from tho auuuul publication of tbe
delinquent tax list und the name of
the delinquents that would more
than balance the cost. In states
where that law prevails, there are
no delinquent lists suoh as we baye
here, aud the people regard the law
with auoh favor that repeal is never
thought of. Tbe man that desires
to maintain his own credit will uot
suffer himself to be among those
whose names are published as not
paying their taxes, Eugene Regis
