Squire Would Not Go to China.


1t has been said that Senator Squire, of Wash
ington, was offered the Chinese mission by Pres
ident Harrison. The senator would not say
yesterday whether or not this report was true,
but he did say that he would not take 1t.
"There Is no reason why I should" he added.
81 have just been reelected to the Senate, ana
have no desire to be cut of from my people.
am too proud of the state / represent in part to
sever my associations with the people volun-
tarily. In the office now hold can do them
some good, but If / went to China would be of
no use Whatever to them. Washington has
grown In population during the last year about
$1,000. AT the smallest estimate, we have now
about 100000 people there. They are all thriving
and prosperous. Washington Is not much of an
agricultural state. Only about $1,000 people are
directly interested in that industry, but they
have raised this year IT, 600 600 bushels of wheat.
Now, for the sake of argument suppose 3,0O0,-
0Oo bushels are retained for seed and home con-
SUMPTION there will be 14,000, 900 bushels Of
wheat for export Wheat at q low figure
ought to bring rs cents bushel to them
1t is now sl.0S in Chicago. That will give
small part of our population 10,5O0,o00. The
western part OF the state is given up entirely to
the lumber and mining interests. We have the
largest area of timber land in the world. Our
iron ore is almost free from phosphorus, while
gold and silver are found in paying quantities.
The people In that section are as prosperous as
those In the eastern part There is no reason in
the world why should lose four years or more
by going to China at a time when my state Is
undergoing wonderful DEVELOPMENT"

and might. perhaps, have lost our foot
hold on Oregon and Washington. Mr..
Lowell was just as honest and sincere in
his opposition to the Mexican war as he
was in his admiration for Grover Cleve-
land; but the nation has reason to be glad
that Mr.. Lowell did not prevent the Mexi-
can war, and that his fulsome alteration
of Cleveland did not re-elect that "hind-
quarter of Democratic beef to hang an
other four years in the White House.
Poets must be taken for what they are
worth; they are inspirers, exhorters, per-
suaders and CONSIDERS sometimes. but
they are not organizers or governors of
states; and in politics are apt to be sim
cerely everything by turns and nothing
long. They are like lively coquette;
they want change of air, scene and hero;
they want fresh fields and pastures new;
new windmills to fight every day.

Something for Nothing.


One symptom of diseased condition of bust.
ness is the prevalent craze Of purchasers to get
something for nothing; in other words, to buy
goods below cost. We are not prophets enough
to foretell what win be the outcome OF this form
of insanity. It may pass away like the plague,
leaving behind IL earcasses and skeletons, or 1t
may 60 up sky-high, like magazine of dyna-
mite struck by lightning, leaving behind ruin
and desolation. Full doses of Solomon's pro-
verbs, and repeated applications of doctrines
promulgated on the plains OF Judea eighteen
centuries ago, may be prescribed az the only
cure. Every step in reducing the standard of
living and wages of the laborer reduces the
wages OF the skilled workman as well. When rs
cents day In 1890 takes the place OF 81 in 1889,
each recipient of such wages must curtail his
purchases IN order to conform to the 25 per cent.
reduction in wages. Less of food, less of cloth.
ing, not 30 many shoes, and cheaper lodgings
must be had; and those who make shoes, cloth
ing and articles of household use find that their
business falls off also. The falling Off OF bust
ness 10 followed by reduction in wages, and
the evil stream runs the entire length, until
all are infected. The cheapening of labor
cheapens productions; cheap production cheap
ems human flesh; and when the race OF cheap
ness is run we find ourselves nation of cut
throats for each mans hand is at his neighbor's
throat, seeking to wrest from him part or the
whole OF the trade he has acquired, and his ar
gument always is: 81 can do 1t cheaper" The
logical end of cheapness smoothing: and to
that end the immigrant of today, In his ig-
norance, 10 driving the American laborer, me-
chanic and business man, many of whom labored
by his side across the water years ago.

an honest silver dollar certificate which
calls for 100 cents worth of silver
bullion. On this platform the Republican
party has taken its stand. and the Pennsyi-
vania Republicans biundered the other
day when. after indorsing President
Harrison's administration and the Repub-
Iican congressional legislation, they slipped
into their platform aproposition of free
coinage of American silver. which does
not mean an honest dollar at all, for it
would permit any man TO bring his silver
bullion to the mint and secure one dollar
for II cents worth of silver.
History. as John Sherman points out, is
only repeating itself this year in Ohio. In
'ls75, after specie payment had been re-
sumed, there was bitter contest in Ohio,
when the Democrats advocated an in
creased issue of greenbacks, and the Re-
pub9icans opposed it. Rutherford b.
Hayes was elected governor of Ohio over
William Allen on this issue of sound
money against imitation and consequent
national bankruptcy. The fight this year,
as in 1875, is for sound money against
deprecated silver standard of currency,
and all honest, intelligent voters in Ohio
will vote against 77-cent dollars.

JOHN SHERMAN AND FREE SILVER.

The campaign in Ohio is in able hands.
Major Mckinley discusses the tariff with
the ability. the ardor and the courage of
father defending his favorite child. John
Sherman, with admirable calmness and
power, exposes the utter financial faulty
and folly of free silver coinage. Long be-
fore November there will not be an honest,
intelligent voter in Ohio who will not see
that "free silver" means picking the pock-
cts of every wage-earner of % cents, for
that is exactly what "tree silver" would
mean; the moment we drop from gold
standard to a silver standard by ''free sill
ver". every wage-earner's dollar will be
worth at the present price of silver from
as TO so cents instead of 100 cents, rs ii is
today; the price of commodities would at
once rise, but wages would not rise with
prices, so the workingman would have his
pocket picked by "free silver" coinage TO
the advantage of the speculative capitalist
just as was the case during the civil war
when gold took to flight before our food
of greenhacks.
The free silver coinage bill passed by the
United States Senate atits last session. if
il becomes law. would allow anybody to
bring today II cents worth of silver to the
United States minis and have IL stamped
into dollar. As John Sherman says, of
course nobody viii take 25.s grains of gold
20 the mint to secure the means of paving
an obligation of 81, when he can Just as
well get 4i2.5 grains of silver for II cents
and obtain the paper or the coin which the
government declares to be legal tender for
the debt and as effective for canceling il
as 25S grains of gold or 100 cents would be.
Under this situation gold would quickly
rise to q premium and rapidly disappear
from general circulation, leaving us
with . single silver standard on a de-
preciated basis. Under our present
silver law the coinage of silver dol
lars has been suspended and every
silver certificate represents 100 cents worth
Of silver bullion instead of 4I2}< grains, as
in the silver dollar and silver certificates
issued under the old silver law of 1878. and
under the present law the government
monthly purchases of silver more than
would take up the annual silver product
ofthe United States. while free silver COIN
age would make our minis the dumping
ground for all the silver stocks of the
world, just as We would become the
dumping ground of all the wheat, potatoes
and corn Of the world if our government
bid y cents above the market price for
these products. This was the homelv but
vigorous illustration used by Democratic
Senator Palmer, of Illinois, TO expose the
utter idiocy of free silver" coinage IN
der our present circumstances.

crossed the Cascade mountains in 1si6 with their
wagons and teams, while myself crossed the
plains and the Cascade mountains with wagon

Woolery has made q mistake of about seven
years. think he must have had private aud

Hops in White River Valley.


The hop picking season is upon us in full
force, and everything is hustle and excitement
throughout the hop-picking region. The fact
that growers realize the necessity OF doing the
work in the shortest possible time makes matters
more lively than in former years. 1t is now
pretty generally believed that the crop will be
better than was anticipated some time back:
that is, II the hops are picked as soon as they
are ripe. No contracts are being made,
and but few buyers are around. Growers,
however, have found but little difficulty in
securing money with which to pick
their crop. despite the few contracts
that have been made. 1t is practically settled
that the hop crop in England will be the best in
ten years; but notwithstanding this, the Sun
has faith to believe that choice quality of
hops, properly cured, will bring from 20 to Is
cents per pound this fall But those growers
who pick too soon, or who mix the good with
the poor, will get very low price. As this
Is our last issue before picking commences in
earnest, we abiure growers to keep their hops
separate-the good from the inferior ones. One
bale OF frstclass hops viii bring as much as
twenty of poor quality. Mark our prediction.
