Tho Orcgonlan has uinde n discov
ery, aundny it suys: "Gold Is not
an edible. Eurono ennuot cut it.
The only thing Euiopo can do ylth
it is to supply natural wants. The
most imperative natural waut is
food. Europe does not produce
food enough to feed its population.
It must buy food from abroad nud
pay for it in money or goods. The
United States is still the surest and
greatest and cheapest market for
food. Etc."
Tho Oret'onian then argues that
shot tness in other lands will send
nil Europe to Uncle Sam for supplies
for two years to come. All this
sounds favorable to this country.
Tho Oregonlau then deplores that
gold Is leaving this country, aud
may never beglu to return again.
This would be different it says,
"were our finances in sound condi
tion; had not our reckltts silver
legislation interfeied with the
htalthy operation of tho natural
laws of trade nud finance." Ouing
to our silver coiuage laws it takis
the position that gold will not again
flow back as it alw ays has heretofore.
It aisurcs that tho ebb aud flaw of
International exchange will not
take place In our favor as heretofore,
owing to tho bill to increase the
silver coinage mid paper stiver cur
rency based thereon to $4,500,000 a
month. It thinks wo muy have
"p.ualjed tho opeiation of the
natural laws of trade by reckless
and stupid financial legislation." It
thiuks the silver money is a cheaper
currency and gold will not come
back beuuifee of its presence.
That our silver coinage did not
urive goia out ot tno country was
discovered by G rover Cleveland.
The Oregonlau must havo somo peg
to hang its opposition to silver upon,
so it assumes that gold going out
will nuycr como back. This Is only
a supposition. As American silvir
money does not go abroad, and as
Europe must buy crops of us. gold
must como back. The coinage of
silver may allcct tho price of silver.
An increase or decrease in volume
of currency aflects all tho interests
of tho people. As all our silver
money is at par with gold, and does
uot circulalo abroad, and as all
international transactions aro on a
gold basis, how can gold be kept
from coming back by the presence
of silver hero? Is it not a far-fetched
prophecy? Europo does not eat
"old, but eats American farm
products, Natural wants do not
stop at theories of American jour
nalists. Europo must havo bread
stuilsund hungry nations do not ask
what kind of domestic cuneucy is
in circulation in any other country
before buying food there. Amer
ican silver is not "cheap" sliver.
Our silver coins aro heavier than
those of England, Franco or Ger
manv. Before buying wnnt we
need of those countries, do wo in
uuiro what tho character of their
silver legislation is? The proposl
tlou of tho Oreuouian that our
"cheap" silver will prevent gold ex.
ports ever returning to this country
is financial rubbish such as Dennis
Kearney or tho worst fiatlst was
never guilty of.
What Is its purpose? Driven to
letreat from ouo position to another,
It should confess with O rover C'levo
land that its wholo silver policy if
unsound. Its fight against a freer
silver nollc.v is the warfare of Wall
street, to mislead tho people. It Is
tho hedging policy of tho gold-hug,
seeking to raise doubts In the busi
ness world, to cause reaction against
the broad American policy ot open
and free silver coinage, It is be
neath tho Intelligence of tho age. It
underestimated tho conlidonio of
the people in their own government.

The question of quart box or half
bushel crato was discussed. Mr.
Wagner raised objections to the
crato system, llo asked if It would
uot inah tho berries more ami givo
poor satisfaction.
Mr. Clark spoke as a consumer of
berries, and favored tho tray. The
buyer would then get a quart when
he bought one. Boxes cost a cent
apiece and many shippers complain
at the loss of boxes.
Mr. Coulter, of Portland, furnished
experience as a shipper of ten to
twenty tons in 10 to 20 lb. boxes,
ventilated at corners and sides.
Never lost a berry in this way. Tho
tray box was cheaper. It was mado
ot spruce. Ash was also good. The
dipcusslon was all favorablo to half
bushel trays for tho homo market,
owing to economy, gotting fruit to
consumer in best condition.

Mr. II. S. Jory led this discussion
by reading tho following paper:
Having been requested to give a
description of tho various kinds of
fruit dryers, tngather with their
meilts and faults as viewed from my
standpoint, I will comply to tho best
of my ability. Of course to glvo
inything like an oxteuded descrip
tion of all tho dryers, with which I
im acquainted would maku this ar
ticle too long, so I will content my
self with giving a short sketch of
somo of tho most common ones used
ou this coast. I will commence
with tho American, manufactured
at Wnynesburg, Penn. This coin
p ny claim to have mado and sold
more dryers than all others com
bined. It consists of a long drying
chamber or Hue, set at an iuoliuo of
twenty degrees, the lower end rest
ing on u furnace, sunounded by a
casing or jacket, to confine tho heat
ed air and discharge it in the Hue,
where tho fruit Is placed to dry on
galvanized wire trays, tho frames
of which are made of wood and of a
square form. Tlio fruit is prepared
tu the usual manner and placed ou
tho trays immediately over tho fur-
nance, aud wnen auotner iray is
filled tho Hist one Is slid up, towards
the uppor end of the drying cham
ber, repeating tho operation us each
succeeding tray Is filled, or until tho
drying chamber Is filled. Soipo of
tho large sires huvo a dovlco for slid
ing the trays upward, by means of
a crank aud ratchet which makes It
somewhat easier. Defects: tho diffi
culty of sliding tho trays upward in
tlio drying chamber, especially when
loaded with fiuit or gummed as they
aro liable to bo with syrup or drip
pings, from plums or other soft
fruits. The difficulty of getting at
to examluo tho fruit while drying,
as being in this long drying flue, it
would have to bo pushed through In
order to examine it, and it would bo
necctsary to push It up one tray
from the bottom, and then get up on
tho step ladder and take one tray
out, and then go to tho bottom and
push another one up, and so on con
tinuing tho process until all wero
examined or taken out. Third, the
difficulty experienced from steaming
or retarding tho drying of tho fruit
in the uppor end of tho drying
chamber, by constantly putting In
green fruit at tlio bottom. This ma
chine does good work when only a
small amount is in tlio drying cham
ber at a time.

This consists of a furnace In tho
basement, from which tho heated
air Is conducted into a tall vertical
drying chamber or iluo, discharging
at tho top of the building. This Hue
is usually of seasoned lumber, nud
about ;JJx3 feet on the Inside, and
exteuds from tho bottom up through
the floors and roof. On the inside or
this flue is placed four endless
chains, und in tho chains Is placed
at lutoivals of llyo inches, little
hooks or projections to engago nud
hold tho fruit tra and keep them
in their proper position, while
ascendlug in the Hue, Tho endless
chains aro drawn upward in tho
drying flue, by means of u crank
and pinion with ratchet attachment,
to elevate tho fruit trays. Thin do
vlco is worked either by hand or
power as desired. On the main or
operating floor, Is placed a door Into
tho flue, through this door all the
fruit to he dried is put In. On the
upper floor or loft, Jo placed uiiother
door at which ull the fruit when
dried, Is taken out. DafecU, Tlio

published rumors of tlio Esmeralda
succeeding iu buying oven n limited
amount of coal at Acapulco, but
says, on tho contrary, she was
ordered out of port, aud is now lying

general opinion at Acapulco Is that
tho Etatn has passed that placo and
gouo south, and that the Esmeralda
has been waltlug for tlio United
States steamer Charleston. At 5
o'clock yesterday afternoon unusual
commotion was observed on tho
Esmercldu, but a thorough search of

San Fhancisco, May 17. Tho
Mexican consul has received no
news of any sei.uro of tho Etuta by
Mexican authorities. His belief is
firm that if anybody kuow of tlio
sei.uro tho Mexican government
wouldund that tho American lega
tion would bo uotilled. News of
such an event in n shape to bo
credited ought first to como hero In
official shapo from Washington.
Mr. Conly does not receive news of
such events, ns n matter of course, in
tlio consular capacity, and ho relies
largely on tho press dispatches for
his iuformuttou. Tho belief Is grow
ing stionger heto that something
declslvo has happened to tho Etnta,
but there was no definite Informa
tion on which to base this belief.
Early Saturday afternoon a dispatch
was rccelyed, which had no authen
tic appearances, saying that tho
Clmrleston and Esmeralda wero nt
Acapulco. The dispatch emanuted
from the navy department at Wash
ington, This created u ripple of
Interest, but it still left open "tho
question us to what had happened
to the Etuta. It wus said In consu
lar offices that tho Charleston would
havo no occasion to molest tho Es
meralda. Sho had committed no
ofidiifto agulunt tho United States
government so fur us wus known,
and tlio opinion was freely expressed
by foreign consuls that tho United
States would bo slow about provok
ing a collision with a representative
of what may bo decided to bo by
legal process, as well entitled to bo
considered tho Chilian government
us Bulmaccdu Is. It was also con
ceded thut tlio handling of evldenco
lu tho cases of the Hobert nud Min
nie's officers, owners, agonts, etc.,
muy ben dollcato afiulr. The ques
tion whether tho Chilian congres
sional party is not ouo bruuch of tho
regularly constituted government,
and Bulmaccdu a usurper to somo
extent, Is very likely would como up
as a consideration In estimating tho
ollen.se of the Ilobert und Minnlt,
nud perhaps ulso tho Etuta, if she
has been caught, or shall be caught,
with arms taken from tho Hobert
and Minnie ou board her.
