AN APPEAL FOR BIMETALLIsM.
BY Henry Clews, the Celebrated New
York Eipaucier.

Among moderate minded men IL has been
hoped that the large concessions granted by the
last congress to the silver mining interest on
the one hand and to the Misguided iniationists
on the other would suffice to dispose OF the dis
turbing currency question until at least the Ell
feet OF those grants had been fairly tested oy ex
perience. Aanifestly, however, no moderation
either OF opinion or OF demand for legislative
favor is to be expected from that quarter.
The executive committee OF the National sil.
yer Association, at 9 meeting held last July IN
this city, reiterated their old demand Tor Tree
coinage, and declared that 1t should be consti-
tuted the paramount issue in the elections.
Coincidently it is intimated that an effort Is to
be made among the Republican leaders to unite
upon policy that would establish free coinage
and continue it until 1t had reached the danger
point OF forcing gold to q premium. Clearly,
there lore, we may expect q revival OF the coin
age conflict, with all its Inischieyous conse-
quenees to national politics, ell its danger to the
soundness OF our currency system, and It's
threatentngs to the credit and the commerce OF
the nation.
And why all this disturbing agitation about
question which, if regulated by prudent COM
mon sense, would be exempt from either danger
or dimeutty? The obstacle to sound settle
msnt OF the silver problem does not lie in any
general national desire to see silver discarded
and gold constituted the sole basis OF our cur
rency system, although indiscriminating theor-
lists have charged this against the important
majority who favor more guarded counsels. At
one time there may have been those who, DEEM
ing II possible to maintain a single standard,
gave preference TO il over the more complicated
double standard; but SO far at least as
respects the United States, it Is quito safe
TO say that the results following the

Big Teeth Found Near walia WaIla.

Last Tuesday while cleaning out the spring
on the farm of Mr.. William Ferguson, situated
on Russell creek, about seven miles southeast
OF Walla WaIla, a number of large teeth were
found. Half a dozen OF them were brought to
town by Walter s Ferguson and exhibited. One
of them is nine inches long and four inches
wide. Some OF them are eight inches deep, and
none less than three inches WIDE They are
corrugated, and were evidently at one time used
for grinding limbs OF trees and such Ike grass"
by powerful jaws. They are, we believe, the
first teeth OF the size found in the Walla Walla
valley. Several years ago number OF teeth,
huge bones and several big tusks were found in
the springs in the Pslouse country. Besides the
teeth, Mr. Ferguson found a number OF pieces of
large bones, which rapidly crumbled on being
brought to the surface They were found in the
gravel at a depth of ten feet.

SEATTLE. FRIDAY. MARCH If.
OUR LAUNDERING CHINESE POL
ICY.

It is reported that China threatens to
prohibit the citizens of the United States
from visiting that country, and is seriously
considering whether 1t is not time for her
to cancel her treaties with our country, to
recall her subjects, to expel all Americans
from her borders, and to cease all relations
and intercourse, diplomatic and CONNER
cial, with the United States.
If China ever, because of our needless
acts OF international insolence today, ever
closes her ports against us, We will not be
permitted by England to blow them open,
If we could afford to make the attempt. If
our missionaries are expelled and our me-
chanics sent home and a state of non-in-
tercourse proclaimed by China against the
United States We shall deserve it.

a WORD ExrIAsAteRy.

The DRMocsAr dlsclaims all responsi-
bility for the appearance Of the name OF
the ..Royal" in the list Of baking pow
ders inserted In this paper recently.
The statements in the article referred
10, ,unfavorably rejecting upon the Royal
Baking Powder, have been investigated
and prove entirely untrue.
A careful examination Rhows that the
reports from which the quotations in said
article are alleged to have been made,
where they refer TO the Royal Baking
Powder or ita constituents, class II as Q
cream Of tartar powder, show 1t 10 be ol
superior purity and wbolesomenesss and
the greatest In ieavening strength OF any
baking powder tested.
Although II is unlikely that such
statements could harm an article OF such
high reputation and we'll known purity
and excellence as the Royal Baking Pow
der, we make this explanation that oui
readers may understand the true char.
acter Of the publication.

Why
So Anxiously Concerned? !?

The prestige of the Royal Baking Powder and
its constant success are matters Of anxious con-
cern to envious competitors.
1t is noted that advertisements of other baking
powders are filled with spleen, malice and mis-
representation against the Royal, more than with
honest claims as to their own goods.
That the Royal Baking Powder makes finer,
whittier, sweeter, more wholesome cookery, the
ladies who have tried other kinds are wiling to
testify. and tell their neighbors; 3lis fact is
serious concern to all competitors.
The superb quality of the Royal Baking Pow
der, over and above all othor kinds, is never SO
manifest as whes tried in comparison. It has
greater strength and does not deterorate with
age, the last spoonful in the can being as good
as the first All over this country the Royal"
has the lead; this is why makers of other braads,
envious of its sale and popularity, talk SO much
about it.
