not only work the ruin Of every industry
in the country, but would prove a failure
for the purpose intended. The treasury
notes proposed by the Peoples party to be
put in circulation by the government and
made legal tender are a forced loan. Its
value depends mainly upon the power OF
the government to redeem it and its
ability to do SO on presentation. How
would this scheme work? Senator Dolph
answers this question as follows:
Even IL the notes could be maintained at par,
a. money is the measure OF all values, cheap
money would make everything cheap measured
By money, cheap property and cheap labor. IN
less the notes of the government were Issued In
excessive and unreasonable amounts, on y those
presenting the best security would be served
and the scheme would result in fgyoritism. The
value OF the treasury notes could only be maui
tanned By a provision of law making them re-
deeTnabie in gold and siive. upon presentation.
with such reserve OF gold and silver in the
treasury a. would en- able the government TO re-
deem them This, besides being impracticabte,
Is not intended by the advocates OF the meas
ure. They expect that the government STAN p
will create value and make the treasury notes
good money. But only labor properly applied
can produce wealth. The products OF labor
when useful are valuable. The value OF .
product OF labor and OF labor itself will always
depend upon tho value of the currency in which

will depend in turn upon its value In gold and

Oregon Interference In Wsshington.

Sultan City Journal
The Republicans Of this state should support
the ticxet and tndorse the platform from top TO
bottom. IL for no other reason, in order that the
imper inent interference OF the Oreoonion may
receive Q merited rebuke There Ia not a resi-
dent OF this state who does not very distinctly
remember that Oregon has always dominated
the commercial and political life Of Washington
until within q short time. Since the robes Of
statehood have been put on and We have had
two senators at the national capital, there
seems to be some hope Of getting our
dues. The Portland and Oregon influence has
become aroused to this fact ana the Oregonidn
comes to the rescue Of its two Portland senators
at Warrington City-Doiph and Mitchell. The
effort by the Portland paper to make an issue OF
the Lake Warrington canal is for the purpose OF
defeating the reelection of John b. Allen to the
senate. That paper has seen that he is vigilaut,
and it seeks to make it appear that this canal,
which In fact would help the entire common
wealth, and particularly Puget sound, is q local
measure and that the congressional delegation
are unfatthful tn the remainder OF the state In
indorsing and voting for this appropriation.
The Oregon paper knows better than this, and II
Is skllfuly trying to prevent further effort for
the canal by furnishing Senator Allen for doing
his plain duty. The commercial su.
premacy of Oregon Is threatened BY
the rapid growth OF the shipping interests and
general development OF our state. Here 10

are more active. more energetic than their Web

sourcea Hence the Oreoontan, in the selfish
interests Of Portland in particular, is seeking to
enter and influence the politics OF this state.
The two senators from Portland have SO long
divided between themselves the appropriations
which belong to Washington that they are

our people. 1t is high time that the presumption

CHEAP MONEY.

The cry of the Peoples party for cheap
money and plenty Of it starts In the de-
fusion that the government has power to
create money, when the sole function of
government in relation to money is to GER
tify to the weight and purity Of the metal
contained in it. The pern,cious doctrine
that anything the government might
choose to stamp as money-paper, silver,
nickel or copper-becomes by this very act
money for the amount named on its face,
is traceahle to the legal tender act of 1862,
which was forced loan from the people
to psy the cost of our tremendous fight
for the flag. Since iS62 there has been a
periodical call for liberal issue of govern
ment money in every form save gold.
Tho delusion that the government can
create money lies behind the cry for IN.
limited grcenbacks and all forms Of "cheap
money" Cheap money means high prices.
and dear money means low prices. 1t has
been calculated that the legal tenders
made the expenses OF our civil war greater
by $500. 900, 600 than it would have been
had they never been issued. So clear was
it in 1862 that the ''greenback" WAS vicious
finance and would prove costly expert
meut that eminent New York merchants
like Robert Il. Minturn, urged Secretary
Chase TO try the experiment of borrowing
money of Europe, but Secretary Chase
knew that he could not get the enormous
amount of needed money from En-
rope. and resorted to the sreenhack
