METALLICS
Discuss Some Live Questions,
Judge Boise Shows the Importance
of Reducing Rates of Interest
There was a. good attendance at the
Salem Bimetallic Union Thursday
night- The question of Japan cut
ting the gold dollar in two was dis
cussed. Judge It. V. Boise said the question
of Interest was more important to
the people than even a change In the
financial system. He showed that
the treasurer's report showed the
amount of Interest received on the
school fund was $370,103.29, or 8183,
031.40. If reduced to 0 per cent It
would reduce our annual Interest
charge $43,000. The Interest goes to
support schools. It Is loaned to
fanners, who already pay most of the
taxes to support schools.
The Salem city debt amounts to
$1 19,000 bonds. There are $0,000 street
bonds and also $47,000 warrants, or
$12,500 annually at 0 per cent, but as
warants draw 8 per cent the total was
more. This showed where our money
was going. Judge Boise estimated
that the people, of Oregon, were In
debt $84,000,000, or one-half the as
sessed valuation. We paid $1,080,000
interest per annum, and to reduce the
legal rate of Interest to six per cent,
would have been a saving of $330,
000, If reduced 2 per cent. If reduced
3 per cent we would save $304,000, and
brokers would charge no more com
mission on loans at 5 per cent than at
10 per cent loans as made now. In the
last decade the Interest collected was
greater each year than the total In
crease In wealth in our country. The
total increase in wealth was shown to
have been about the sum of $22,000,
000,000, while the Interest paid was
$32,000,000,000, or a loss of $8,000,000,
000 over all wealth gained in ten years.
England wiped out her public debt
at seven per cent and converted it into
three per cent consols. We mnstdo
the Mime. We were paying a four
percent tax with a two percent in
come Our property paid two to three
percent, while we paid eight to ten
percent Interest.
lie said that the greenback and
national bank note were identically
the same, the government being back
of both of them, but the bank note
haying a burden of Interest back of It,
while the greenback cost no interest.
We had $1,000,000,000 of money of all
kinds besides $600,000,000 of gold.
The rest was paper and silver. If all
our money were issued direct instead
of through the banks, it would save
us over $00,000,000 a year interest,
which in the life of a man amounted
to a sum that was simply incalculable.
The rate of interest should not be
higher than the earning power of
money. If it was higher money was
dlstructlvc and a powerful engine of
evil, gathering into the hands of capi
tal the earnings of labor. The power
to coin money was lodged In the
government. There was no class of
men so dangerous to any country as
those who controlled Its money. With
proper exertion wo could secure a re
duction In the rate of interest in Ore
gon, that would save to the people of
this state millions of dollars. It was
the pressing need of the hour,
G. P. Cadwell also spoke on the
subject of usury and declared it was
condemned by holy writ as unlawful.
At the close of the year 18G0 the
national debt was over $2,000,000,000,
At the latest accounts we had paid
84,440,000,000 interest and principle.
Today more than 10,000,000 of Ameri
can people were worse off than chattel
slaves. They were cared for by their
owner and he fed and paid their
doctor bill, while the industrial slave
of today was starving and paying his
own doctor -bills. Over 211,000,000
acres of land had been given away to
corporations who had sold It back to
the people. The Jewish nation had
been destroyed and scattered over the
face the earth, and now they are
ruining our country by the same
process.
Following resolution was offered
and debated, but went over for a final
vote to the next Thursday evening
meeting:
fcesolyed, that It Is the sense of the
Salem Bimetallic Union, that the
legal rate of lutercst In this stale
should not be to exceed six per cent,
with the contract rate at, not to ex-
cjccI ti lit rerceut.

Lincoln, Neb.. The Tree Sllyer
Republican party of Nebraska was
launched here this afternoon. The
convention had been called by mem
bers of the party now In the leglsla
laturc. About forty delegates wcic
present- Only twelve delegates weie
present from outside of Lincoln.
Judge Gregory, of Omaha, wag sel
ected to attend the meeting of the
provisional National committee, to
be held June 8. A state central com
mittee was formed, with L. O. Pace
and W. B. Price, both of Lincoln, as
chairman and ;secretary respectively.
The state committee is made up of
eighteen members, three from each
congressional district.
Cheap Papek. The Jouunal has
just received a large shipment of pa
per at a price so cheap we dare not
publish it. The bill was discounted
some which made it come cheaper,
but suffice to say that there Is little
excuse for charginc the old prices for
newspapers. The Daily Jouunal
at $3.00 a year, and the Weekly at
$1.00 a year arc the cheapest papers
of general circulation in Oregon and
still printed at a profit.
Mr. A. J. Chichester of Unity
Lane county attacked a skunk
the -other day, but the animal
got away and run under a rock. Bj
t.ils time ills dog came to the rescue.
He then raised the rock so the dog
could get the skunk and as the dop
ran under the rock, he let It fall, kill
ing both dog and skunk.
The following hop contracts were
filed at Ilillsboro on March 30th;
William Bagley, sr., contracts 20,000
pounds to Charles S, May & Co., ol

wood, to some party, 7000 pounds; E.
O, Malloy to Lilienthal & Co., of San
Francisco, 13,000 pounds; C. W. Wet
more, of Laurel, to Lilienthal & Co.,
10,000 pounds. The price called for
in all of the contracts is 7 cents a

The Southern Pacific Railroad Com
pany paid taxes at Jacksonville Tues
day to the amount of about $10,000.
the road-bed Is assessed at $10,000 a
mile, but the company paid on a val
uation of $3000. They paid on the
full assessed value of the rolling stock
and depot grounds, and on land, at 30
cents an acre. This is only a part of
the taxes claimed by the county and
there will probably be a long lawsuit.

That's constipation. It is such a wonder
fully simple thing that peopje do not regard
it seriously. They let it run on, let it grow
worse, become chronic, and show itself all
over the body in fifty ways before they con
sider it important Constipation causes
nine-tenths of all human ailments. Its first
symptoms do not seem very serious, but
even they are very disagreeable. A few of
them are sour stomach, flatulence, heart
burn, distress after eating, .foul breath,
coated tongue, dizziness, palpitation or the
heart, sick and bilious headaches, general
lassitude and debility. When any of these
symptoms show themselves, you should
immediately take Dr. Pierce's Pleasant Pel

sugar-coated granules, made on purpose to
cure constipation They do this perfectly
and quickly, and they are the only prepara

plenty of medicines that will give relief as
long as you keep on taking them, but you
can't stoD. They don't cure ; they give
merely temporary relief. Doctor Pie"'

The Best is Not too Good.
There never wns a truer saying than that
"The best is not too good" when speaking
of the accommodations for a long overland
journey and therefore it will be well for the
traveller going east to remembei that he will
be very weary when he gets to St. Paul or
Minneapolis, and that he should make a wise
choice of routes from there to Chicago or
Milwaukee. The Wisconsin Central trains
run between these points making close con
nections with nil trains at both terminals.!
Posted travellers seek this route for many
reasons, one of which is, they can get a well
cooked m:al at a moderate price, and eat it
at leasure as they speed to their destination.
