No one knew of It outside the three or four en- iraged in it. .SnleiiiSUili'Siiiaiiitlltorlill COLD STAXDAHD AH0U3IESTS. For lack of apace It Is Impossible to fully refute all the arguments of the gold standard ciikiiii al Salem, with out giving up all our space, and we mustapologlKc to the general reader for living up w irtucli. The States man Kays: A Mexican dollar M worth onlyoSc In this country ix-cause, noho y lielng obliged to receive It In payment of an obligation, It pass current only at Its bullion vnliic. If melted down the silver It contains Is worth about the sum mentioned. Our own silver dol lar, though Intrinsically worth about tho same, (really Trent less) passes current at a valuation of 100c because tie government stands ready to ex cianirouold for It or paper that Is as g tod r.s gold. It free and unlimited olnage was to prevail, neither the iroverment nor the banks would fur nish gold or full value pnper money In exchange for the silver dollar and It would instantly sink to Its bullion value. The facts are that no country in commercial transactions recehesthe coins of any other country except at their bullion value. Hut as we pro ducoa surplus of products to veil It fallR upon other countries to dig up the money to pay for them. The .Mexican dollar win buy as much In Mexico as It ever would. The American silver dollar oven as bullion will buy as much of labor and products iih It over would. Let any tailoring man In u sawmill, woolen mill, barber shop, printing olllce, or on n farm take the pay -lie gets today In our silver dollars, melt It Into bullion und exchange that bullion for Hour, woolens, lumber or any other product of human labor, he will find It will buy as much or more that ten years ago. Gold has appreciated. All other products havo been depreci ated. Hut to return to tho statement of tho Statesman that tho sliver dollar Is held up by gold, read these letters; WiNTUitBi-rr, Iu., Aug. 10, 1805. Hon. Secretary of tho Treasury, Washington, D. G. My Dear Sir: Having seen tho Htatcui'jnt iimdo many times that tho standard silver dollar remains at par because tho government will redeem It In gold, I would reel under great obligations if you will state: i. alio statute, ir any, which re quires tho government to redeem sil ver dollars In gold. z. to state whether it is now or has over been the practice to make such redemption. I am sir, yours very respectfully, A. W. Wkkich. A fow days later Mr. Weeks ro- colvcd tho following reply: TllKABUKY DeI'AHTMKNT. I Omen ok Secuctahv. j Washington, 1). C, Aug. 1,1805. A. W. Wkkks, Wlntersot, Iowa. Sir: In reply to your letter of the 10th Instant you are Informed that there Is no law or regulation or this department which provides for tho re demption of silver dollars or silver cortfllcatcs In gold. Silver certificates are according to their terms redeemed by tho government In silver dollars only whllo tho silver dollar being a standard coin of tho United States Is not redeemable- In any other form of money. It has never been thu practice or tho government to redeem sllverdollars or silver certificates in gold. United States notes (green backs) and treasury notes of 18(H) are redeemed In gold when that Is de manded, lioth silver dollars and sil ver certificates are received by tho government the sumo as gold In pay ment of all debts due the United States. Itcspcctrully yours, W. K. t'UKTlH, Acting socretury or tho treasury. Wo challenge the Statesman to show a word of law to prove Its asser tion, that "the government stands ready ta exohaugo gold or paper that Is as good us gold" for our silver dollar. There Is no truth In tho assertion. There Is not a word of law by whlcJi the government holds up our- silver money with gold. Our silver dollars, half dol!ars,quurtcn)und small change tiro not redeemable Iu gold. The sil ver dollar (sun unlimited legal tender dollar and Is held at par becauso there la au unlimited demand growing out of the o'-dayUwsautlonB of 70, 000,000 iieojilorTelMendor inonoyi . lar is.but I Ich Is hot true. We must not depend on the gold-holder to make good our money, our credit, our labor and our products. If we put our coun try at his mercy, God have mercy on our people! Under our progress toward the gold standard n uney alone has appreciated All other property, Including sliver, products and 1 ibor have depreciated. There Is a greater disparity between prodiK'ts, land and labor than be tween gold and sliver. The gold dol lar will not buy inoiethaii $1..0 worth of silver. It will buy & In $1 worth or anything else In the world. Iu Mexico on the silver bisls the Mexican dollar will buy as much as It vor would but no more. Iu the sil ver standard countries the parity or relative purchasing power between money and proiwrty has not been dls t rbed as It lias here where all money values arc demonetized except gold. JOURNAL "X" RAYS. Directed Upon Persons and Things by the Good Natured Man. "Poor Mr. .lnViiiii of .It'lMui," N good. I. Sterling Morion represents farmers at the banquet tables. the The goldwumps ought tn pay their hills, as well as the anarchists. Imrklcy seems to bo a blinetalllst without International agreement. , Tho Republican "organs" are again reminded that a "campaign of educa tion" does not consist or abuse. Too many men are talking In behalf of the "poor laboring man," who never did a day's hard work Iu their lives. Tho American pcoplo "from tradi tion and Interest" favor bimetallism, hence we nre for the single gold stand-ard-O. O. I'. Tho Republican praty has protected Ilockafellor, Carnegie, Sprecklcs & Co. until It Is ready to look to them for protection. When Harklcy said he expected to hold meetings in Oregon, California and Washington, or course he meant religious meetings! The farmer Is the most numerous of all classes In this fair land, and yet every Republican paper publishes him as a fool, a fraud, a blatherskite, an anarchist and a long whiskered Idiot. The total amount of coined gold In tho world Is $1,000,000,000, and tho total public and prlvato debt Iu tho United States alono Is 20,000,000,000, which, to save the honor and credit or tho nation, should bo payable In gold. How ridiculous. - The Statesman has taken three columns to anwer Alderman Rlgdon's reply to Johnson, and Is not through answering yet. Itlgdon udmlttcdjfrco coinage would not benefit Johnson directly, but would benefit his neigh bors. Do you want to benefit John- sou alono?

Results of Work Done on the Treasur er's and Sheriff's' Books. To the Hon. County Court. Marlon County, Or: Gentlemen: In compliance with your order of July n, IBM, employing mc tn examine and report upon the condition of the books and accounts of the clerk, sheriff, treasurer and re corder of said county, the following report Is subnlttcd, shoeing the condition f the booke and accounts of Ex-Treasurer Jasper Mlntn: I have been aslstcd in this work by W. I. Staley. Tn begin with, we are unable to find the report of the committee of three who examined the nccountsof ex Treasurer II. G. Urown, deceased, when Mr. Mlntn took possession of the olllce, but the committee brought down the balances from Mr. Drown' account and entered them on the cash book and we assume they agree with the report. We attach hereto an affi davit, of said committee showing that said balances in cah, either in hand or by transferor bank account, were turned over to Mr. Mlntn. Passing to Mr. Mlnto's bonks, we found the accounts so badly confused and the methods used so poorly ad apted to the requirements of the of fice that It was necessary to com pletely rewrite the books from the time covering his Incumbency In of fice In order that the receipts and dis bursements and condition of thedif feient funds might be Intelligently shown. Section 240.1 of Hill's Oregon code provldcV that the county treasurer ''shall so arrange and keep his books that tho amounts received and paid nut.on account or separate and distinct funds, or rpcclllc appropriations shall be exhibited Iu .separate accounts, as well as the whole 'ccclpts and expendi tures by one general account,." Xononf Treasurer Mlnto's receipts tor account or special school and city taxes, amounting to 97M,817..'i.'l, have l)ceii entered on the bonks or receipts and dlHbursemeuts; neither have the payments he has made on account or these funds,sald payments amounting tn$82,U4.l2,becn entered on said book. QMclow are given the reports of Scott llozorth and W. I. Staley, who have been overhauling the county books on the Incoming of the new official ad ad ministrateons: On pages .')!)! and .'105, book of "County Ooders Raid," he has entered seventy orders, giving the number or each; and all amounttug tcil,7"I.:t(l, taking credit for same as having been paid. Not being able to find theso orders among the vouchers, we ascertained, after search, that they are held and claimed by the First National bank of this city, were stamped "presented and not paid for want of funds" In November, 1805, and evidently have not been paid. A tabulated statement showing all the receipts and disbursements dur ing his term of olllce, or each hind and tho proper and correct balances with each school district and city making a special levy, Is attached to aud made a part of this report. Wo charge -Mr. Mlnto with tho fol lowing acceunts: Dr: Cash turned over to him as shown by the books and also by affidavit of com- mlttco ot exports who ex amined the books prior to his taking charge or thootllco $ 10,201.00 Cash received from all other sources during his term of olllce MO.ll'J.GO Cash over-paid school dis trict No. 21 4,000,00 Cr: We credit him with Mlio amount turned oyer tn thu nuiuiiVAII it. utilitrtl lit Lininut'i .il 'IHIMM '. nvWllcrx ntitllel This leaves still due 354,:il0.7fi Cr: We credit him as follows; Cash paid us as shown by vouchers ;).' 1,007.0.1 Cash paid Geo.

Quite a number of our citizens arc camping at Mehaina during tholjre iiuton. The farmers have been cutting their grain, but were forced to stop on ac count or the rain. Some or the grain lias-begun tn mould, and unless the sun soon comes out to dry the grain, It will be quite a loss to some. Gen. Drown and family attended' the Populist picnic at Lyons. We hear that Messrs. Powell and Goodie have been successful In getting work at the mills near Derry. Messrs. Churchill & Pound wont to Mehaina to attend the reunion Wed nesday. August Wcmrich has gone to the mountains to hunt work. Last Friday evening a social dance was given at the city hall. There Is quite a good deal of pilfer ing going on iu the nclghborhiod. Chickens, vegetables and fruit luiyc been missing. Luckily they have not been putting In their appearance since the guns and revolvers ImvoJicen loaded for them. If any more such work goes on some poor scamp Is apt tn get crippled. John Robettson has been ofTforn fow days at the reunion. The Writing Teacher. The matter or engaging the services ota writing teacher tor tho Salem public schools was reterred to City Superintendent Peebles at the last session or the school board for district 24. That gentleman has submitted the following report to the beard: "I respectrully refer the further consideration of the same back to the board with the recommendation that It do not employ any teacher of writ ing this year. There Is Just as strong and urgent reasons for establishing school drawing aud having a special teacher for that as ror writing. Specialists do and ought to do, better work Iu art lines or educational work than the average teachers are qualified to do In the matter or writing and drawing at any.rate. Personally, I am strongly In favor or having these branches taught In our schools by specialists: but owing to our financial condition, I do not see our way clear to make this departure at this time." The Ideal Panacea. James L. IYancls, Alderman, Chi cago, says: "I regard Dr. King's New Discovery as an Ideal Panacea ror Coughs, Colds and Lung Complaints, having used It in my family for the last live years, to the exclusion of phy sicians' prescrldtloiiH or other prepara tions." Rev. John Ilurgus, Keokuk, Iowa, writes: "I have been a Minister or the Methodist Episcopal Church ror lirty years or more, and have never round anything so beneficial, or that gave me such speedy idler us Dr. King's New Discovery."
