FOREIGN SILVER WILL
COME HERE
NOT
'High Republican Authority Submit
ted in Evidence oi the Fact.
On page 146 of the republican text
book of 1894, under the heading
"European silver could not be ship
ped into our mints with profit to
foreign owners," the following state
ment appears:
"The silver of Europe is coined at
the ratio of ISA to 1, whereas, Ameri
can coinage is at the rate of 16 to 1,
and as the bulk of European silver
has been in use many years, it has
probably lost 3 per cent by abrasion.
Here is a dead loss of 6 per cent on
every dollar's worth of European
silver to be "dumped" on this country
to which must be added freight and
insurance. But this is not all. No
European silver could be offered to
our mints. The 1-10 alloy which they
contain would have to be extracted—
a loss of 10 per ce nt—and the extrac
tion would cost another 5 per cent,
making a loss and a cost of not lesb
than 22 cents before the "dump"
reached our mints, the total loss on
every dollar's worth of European
silver brought over here being not
less than 32 cents. To put it an
other shape, foreign speculators, .in
order to "dump" European silver on
our1mints, would be compelled to sell
for 68 cents the silver that costs them
a dollar in gold.
An ounce of coined silver in India
is equal to $1.37 in gold, so that the
dollar there would contain but 348.33
grains of pure silver, against 359 91 in
Europe and 371.25 here. Heuoe, to
send the silver of India here, a loss of
nearly 8 cents an ounce would be in
curred."
Senator Sherman has 1 tely written
a letter, a very weak one, trying to
justify the crime of 1873. Among the
statements he makes one that while
true technically, conveys a wholly
false notion. Any one reading it in
view ot present thought, would be led
to think he was saying that silver
had actually gone out of use as uinn
ey and Mr. Sherman Knew it would
be so believed when the facts are
that in 1871 and in 1872, in both years
there were more silver dollars coined
than in any other three years. It
-was out of general circulation, it is
true, but so was gold, and Mr. Sher
man oould have as truthfully said:
"gold and silver had long, since
ceased to circulate as money," for
neither had so circulated since 1862.
It is a shame that public men like
John Sherman should use deception
of this sort at a time when honest
men are trying to find out tacts to
aot upon to know how they should
oast their votes in this important

A Startling Revelation. ?j|
The history of one year of the gold
standard is enough to drive the peo
ple of the south and west into revo
lution.
The robbery of the people has been
most astounding- Let us refer to the
facts and figures. The following
figures are from the official reports of
the auditors and comptrollers of the
states and territories named. They
show the robbery of the people for
one year in thirty-one states to
amount to FIVE HUNDRED MIL
LION DOLLARS! Nearly all of this
loss falls upon the people of the south
and west. The tax returns show an
increase of wealth during 1894 in on
ly twelve states, including New York,
while the thirty-one here given have
decreased in tax valuation the figures
set opposite the states. The states
and territories are as follows:
Alabama $17,000,913
Arizona..... 1,406,209
Arkansas. 1,597,004
California..: 10,782,000
Colorado 29,817,138
Georgia 28,681,984
Idaho 5,000,900
Illinois 22,589,
Indiana 26,569,292
Iowa 9,445,033
Kansas 19,120,096
Kentucky 10,578,734
Mississippi 1,891.091
Montana ,... 8,698,083
Nebraska 10,015,626
Nevada 2,544,340
New Hampshire 5,132,543
New Mexico 2,501.620
Oklahoma 199,43&
Ohio 10,328,815
Oregon 17,689,529
South Dakota 7,986,075
'IVnriessee i. 18,909,529
Texas 18.361,090
Utah 17,962.913
Vermont 819,453
Virginia 2.906,196
Washington 57,277.674
West Virginia 2,219,747
Wisconsin 54,000,000
Wyoming 3,158,760
If an army with banners and a
large camp following had marched
through these states, the destruction
of property could not have been
greater. Texas shows a loss in one
year of $18,801,090, and one far west
ern state, Washington, whose record
was suoh as to make every Americaif
proud of her up to the advent of the
gold standard, has lost the enormous
sum of $57,277,674, nearly fifty-eight
millions in one year! Wisconsin sus
tains a loss of $54,000,000. The south
sutlers a slump of over $90,000,000 in
one year.
Seeming Inconsistencies.
The bill to drop the coinage of
silver dollars was reported favorably
in the Senate by John Sherman.
That body was ignorant of the pur'
port of the bill. The man who re
ported the bill favorably to the Sen
ate is said to have voted against it.
And yet he has always opposed re
storing silver to the legal tender it
had and to the minting privilege ac
corded it by law prior to the act of
1873. If bis vote was given against
the act of 1873 and was his honest
conviction what can be said in justi
fication of his vote against undoing
that act
When a measure was brought for
ward in the present congress to retire
the treasury noteB John Sherman
raised his voice and gave his vote
against the measure. But wlien
proposition was made to issue $500,
000,000 gold bonds to retire both the
treasury notes, the silver certificates,
and the Sherman notes be both ad
vocated and voted for the propo
sition. Which of these votes was the
expression of an honest conviction?
Both could not be as one was in fa
vor of exactly the opposite of the
other.
Republican papers, ropublican
statesmen und republican conven
tions, state and national, have ex
pressed almost a universal desire, and
purpose to restore silver to the place
it held as a money metal fur 81 years
prior to 1873 in every part of the
United States. But when the propo
sition was brought before congress
in 1893 the republican vote in the
House was almost solid against the
coinage at any ratio, and the recent
lepublican convention at St. Louis
voted to continue the gold standard
until such time as the Rothschilds,
and the governments of Europe, in
which their voice is potent, consent
thereto.
These professions in favor of the
restoration of silver to its former
place as primary money and its re
cent action are diametrically oppo'
site? Which was right? Which is
honest?
Failures last week 315 aud only 216
for corresponding week of last year
The property involved amounted to
$13,119,467, aud only $6,3d0,lC5 last
year. So we see that the conditions
are rapidly growing worse the longer
th? gold standard is continued. It Is
no excuse to lay it to tariff tinkering
for the present tariff Jaw furnishes
more revenue than did the McKinley
tariff and under it there are more ex
ports and less imports. It is no use
to say a higher tariff will start up
factories and stimulate commere be
cause we have already a surfeit of
products of all kind and those who
need them must be be enabled to
consume them before there can be a
market for more. It is more money
in circulation that Is needed and the
only way to get it is to elect an ad
ministration and congress that will
inflate the currency then when those
who are :hoarding money Eee that
money iB growing cheaper and all
other things dearer they will go to
investing building and other im
provements will start, men will have
work and can then buy what the
farmer and manufacturer has to sell.

We are not so constituted, thank

WM. H. ROCHE,
The candidate for County Auditor
is a man grown from boyhood among
the people of this county. At an

his parents making his home in
Afton. More than thirty years since
he came to New Oregon and engaged
with W. H. Powell at the blacksmith
trade, became a partner in the busi
ness and with building up of Cresco
opened a shop on market street
which he conducted for the entire
time since until the past winter.
During that entire period he so con
ducted his affairs that not one
patron of his but speaks for him
words of commendation. He is amply
qualified for the duties of the office,
is a man of character aud business
integrity, honest and discreet, and
will make a model auditor.
W. S. HARRIES,

Dissenting Opinions
The foilowiug extracts are from the
dissenting opinions In the income tax
case.
In my opinion this decision strikes
at the very foundation of national
authority. It creates a favored class
and is perilous to a large portion of
the people. JOHN M. HAREAN,
•(i:f
Associate ustice.
The decision is a blow struck at the
American people.
EDWARD D. WIHTK,
Associate, Justice.
It is a public calamity. It increases
the burdens of the poor and decreases
those of the rich. H. E. JACKSON.
Associate Justice.
It will not inspire respect for the
constitution. The decision is nothing
less than a surrender of the taxing
power to the money class.
II. B. BROW#,
Associate ustiise.
No arraignment of the Supreme
court or comment upon its recent in
come tax decision that has been or
can be made, will be half so scatliin
as that entered of record in these dis
senting opinions.
Are these Justices of the Supreme
Court anarchists? Judged by the re
publican press and by republican
speeches they are, because their
dissenting opinions are more seven
than any thing said by those who for
their censure of the decision are
classed as anarchists.
Pro-gold standard orators and
newspapers are telling the public
that low prices and the depression of
industry ure due to overproduction
If this is so then what benefit would
come from opeuiug the mills, a mat
ter concerning which Mr. McKinley
professes great anxietj? Grautin
overproduction to be the cause, an
increase of production would only
intensify the fall in prices and tli
business depression. Therefore, ac
cepting the gold standard argument,
the reopening of tlie miils and tac,
tories would be a calamity. As
matter of fact the supporters of the
Rothschild-Wall street standard hay
no argument. What they advance
as such does not stand the test:.of

Bryan and Jefferson Against Bailey.
The Deoorah Republican in an ar
ticle entitled Bryan vs Jefferson 8ays:
At Jeffersonville, Ind., Brynn'was
inspired by the name to sayi
In this campaign we are attempt
ing to revive the principles of Jeffer
son and apply them to the solution
of the questions of to-dav.
What a fraud and lie this is!
Jefferson said "the proportion be
tween the values of gold and silver is
MERCANTILE PROBLEM ALTO
GETHER."
And then Jefferson aided in estab
lishing a ratio of 16 to 1 between gold
and silver and at that ratio they re.
main so long as they had equal mint
ing privilege and legal tender, and
when these were taken from silver
it was rated 8 per cent above gold in
the markets of the world.
The Republican further says:
Jefferson said, "Just principles will
lead us to disregard the commercial
proportions altogether."
Bryan says the free coiners intend
to disregard the commercial propor
tions altogether.
"Just prjnciples," further says Jef
ferson, "will lead us to inquire into
the market price of gold in the several
countries with which we shall be con
nected in commerce, and to take an
average from them."
In 1790 Jefferson made two reports
to congress on subjects referred by
that body to him, one was a report
recommending the decimal division
of weights and measures the other
the report in favor of U. S. mint and
the coinage of money establishing
silver as the unit with 371| grains of
pure silver coined and named the
dollar. This was the just principle
for which Jefferson reported and
which was adopted and for which
Bryan contends. Jefferson made what
he contended for, an honest dollar
consisting of 37l£ grains of pure sil
ver which remained the quantity of
pure silver in the honest dollar from
1792 until 1873.
Jefferson fought the establishment
of the United States bank alleging in
his report!
"That the power to create a nation
'al bank was in its very nature one
'too vast and influential over the
'rights and interests of the people,
'to be either a necessary or an inci
dental power to others expressly
'granted."
We find in Jefferson's works this
opinion of his:
"T-bat no one has a natural right
'to the trade of a banker but he who
'has money to lend. Let those
"among us who have a monied capi
"tal and who prefer that method of
"employing it in loans rather than
"otherwise set up a bank and give
CASH OR NATIONAL BILLS for the
"notes they discount.
Does the republican favor this doc
trine of Jefferson's or is it still wed.
ded to the national banking system
of loaning credit? In Jefferson's
memoirs is this letter to his friend
Epps wherein he says:
Treasury notes bottomed on taxes
''bearing or not bearing interest as
"may be found necessary, thrown in
"to circulation will take the place of
so much gold and silver. Bank
paper must be suppressed and the
"circulation restored to the nation to
"which it belongs."
The Republican scorns every polit
ical principle advocated by Jefferson
yet it seeks convey the idea that it
is a disciple of his political teachings,
Jefferson was opposed granting to
corporations the use of the sovereign
right of the government to issue
money, the Ropublican favors grant
ing to corporations the sole and ex
elusive power to issue all the money
of the country except gold, denying
to the government even the right to
coin silver which Jefferson made the
money unit of aeco unt, Bryan is in
direct line with Jefferson's policy
the Republican is the advocate of the
Haiiiiltonian theory.
Thos. Jefferson had the most lin
plicit faith in the honesty, the vir
tue, the intelligence, the patriotism
of the people and relied upon them
fts the rightful sourcc of political
power. Hauiiitou reposed the like
faith iii the divine right of the kin
and poteutates of the earth. Bryan
puts faith,, as Jeflerson did iu the
people, the Republiciu pins its faith
upeu the creed of Hamilton.
In his letter John Ireland describes
the present political contest as a war
of the "proletariat against the prop
erty holders." He buses this inference
upou the democratic appeals to "tli
con.uion people," to "labor," to "the
poor and down-trodden," aud to di
nunciation of plutocrats. The Cleve
land (O.) Recorder wholly dissents
from the description and inference
"Perhaps," it says, "no one know
better than does Archbishop Ireland
hiimelf, that the war to which he
alludes is not as he implies, a war of
poverty against honest wealth, but
war of the impoverished nguinstthe
monopolies ih*t plunder thetu. If ihut
is a chiss war, let Archbishop Ireland
Uiake the most of it. Let him, if he
Chooses, stand by the privileg
classes in this struggle of the peop
for their right to enjoy what they

so nor is it likely that he will be the

Fads la Medicine-
There tire fads in medicine as in
everything and a "new thing" fre
quentiy sells for a short time simply
becausc it is new. But in medicine
as iu nothing else, the people
demandand will be satisfied only with
positive, absolute merit. The fact
that ifood's Barsapariila has stood its
ground against all competition, aud
its sales have never wavered but
have remained steadily at the top,
demonstrates, beyond any doubt,
the intrinsic virtues of this
medicine. The new thini»s have come

absolute merit aud its power to cure,
and its sales continue to be the

Sample Gold Arguments
A prominent citizen of Burba'nk,
Neb., boils down a bushel of gold
standard campaign literature into
the following arguments:
First—We want gold monometal
lism so we can buy of England.
Seoond—We want a high protective
tariff so we can't buy from England.
Third—It is repudiation to have
free coinage of silver established.
Fourth—It was patriotism to de
stroy one-half the money metal of
the nation and contract the currency
Fifth—Free coinage of silver would
raise the value of mine owners' prop
erty one-half.
Sixth—With free coinage a dollar
would be worth only 50 cents and the
laborer would be robbed of all his
wages.
Seventh—The free coinage of silver
means repudiation, anarchy, social
ism and crime.
Eighth—We want free silver coin
age as soon as England will give her
codsdnt and assistance.
Ninth—The present dull times are
caused by unwise democratic legis
lation.
Tenth—Times were never better
than they are right now. There is
plenty of money in the banks, wages
are high and a laboring man's dollar
is as good as every other dollar.
Eleventh—Silver has never been
demonetized.
Twelfth—We have been on a gold
basis for twenty years.
Thirteenth—More money in circu
lation would not help the laboring
man. The mine owners are not going
to divide with him. when they coin
their silver.
Fourteenth—What we want is a
strong finaucial policy so wc can
borrow money of England and En
gland will be encouraged to invest in
this country.
Fifteenth—Free trade is ruinous to
any country unless you call it reci
procity.
Sixteenth—It is not anarchy to is
sue bonds contrary to law, or to
maintain a policy not authorized by
law when there is plenty of money in
the treasury for the transaction of
the business of the government.'
Seventeenth—We want every labor
ing man to vote for the gold standard
so that the government of Wall street,
for Wall street and by Wall street
may not perish upon American soil.

Failing in his efforts to bribe and
