MOSIER, July ZOGn 1901.
EDIToR CHRoNIcLE-The weather has
been quite warm for the past week. The
thermometer was up to one-hundred in
the shade on Thursday and Friday, but
to our relief came the cooling zephyrs on
Saturday. Fruit growers have finished
their shipments of early fruit. Corn
crops look we'll, though we fear the yield
will not be as bountiful as expected.
Mr.. A. Craft who has been visiting here
for some time, returned to his home in
Sherman County, accompanied by Mr..
Elmer Root, who will remain during the
harvest. Mrs. S. L. Young and Miss
Stoten of The Dalles are visiting at Mr..
Husbands.
Mr.. Ed. Phillips after a short visit to
his brother, G. J, Phillips, returned to
Tacoma on Monday.
We had quite a pleasant time at the
Grange last Saturday. We had some
visitors from our sister state. Our
grange is prospering although quite a
number of our officers are absent for the
summer. We have several new app1i-
cants and hope there will be be more
soon. Everybody in Mosier is well, I be-
lieve, at least all seem to be alive to
their own interests, as rumor says there
are six petitions in circulation in this
vicinity. NJ. 6.

senator sherman,s views.

Senator Sherman, who declares he
would do anything in his power to ad-
vance the market value of silver to its
legal ratio to gold, believes this can only
be done in concert with other CONNER
cial nations; the attempt to do it by the
United States alone would only demon
strate our weakness. eve have,' he
says, provided by existing law for the
increase of money to an amount greater
than the increase of business and popu-
lation but even if more money is re-
duired, there are many ways of provid-
ing it without cheapening the purchas-
ing power of our money or making a
wide difference between the kinds of
money in circulation, based on silver
and gold. More than 90 per cent. of all
payments are now made in checks, drafts
and other com mercial devices. All kinds
of circulating notes are now equal to
each other, and are kept at the gold
standard by redemption and exchange.
Our money and our credit are now equal
to or better than those of the most civil
lized nations of the world. Our produc-
tions of every kind are increasing, and
it seems to me almosta wild lunacv for
US to disturb this. happy condition by
changing the standard of all contracts,
introducing special contracts payable in
gold, and, again, paying gold to the cap
italists and silver at an exaggerated price
to the farmer, laborer and pensioner."
