ciaed Press from all the principal gaInproducing dis
ricts Of Oregon aud Washington show that the condi
ton Of crops planted is healthy. In general ia,
age Of all-sown grain is smaller than In former years
which fact Is due to the continued heavy rains during
November and December. Tile acreage Of spring
grain will DC larger than ever before known. The
warm bright weather Of the last two months, together
with the light showers Of the last few days, has not
only been favorable TO fasown graln but has put the
grouSl into excellent condition TO BE- worked. The
fruit outlook Is good. The acreage In hops will De
largely increased though indications OF lice are already
visible.

No conditions can possibly arise to
justify them. The conditions which
have enabled the Shylocks to specu-
late in thepeople's money must be re-
moved. OF whatever material COM
posed, we must have the same money
for all classes of American citizens.
The money changers and the people
must stand upon equal footing in this
respect. You and / must not be COM
PEELED to accept as money that which
the bondholders and the holders Of
the peoples securities may not like
wise be compelled to accept, or that
which the government itself may re-
fuse to receive from us for dues. In
all the worlds history it remained
for the government of the United
States under Republican administrs-
tion, to repudiateits own money, and
compel it's people to accept for all
manner of services and products, a
money of its own creation which it
declines to receive in payment Of
dues. Like Mr.. Higgins, the writer
has been a lifelong Republican, but
he cannot say with Mr.. Higgins that
"his life will be without a regret for
any ballot his hands have cast thus
far". He does regret that he did
not see the truth earlier in life.
