Visitors to the hills surrounding

line OF the ferry cable in the ice across
the river, as distinct in the reflection of
the bright sunshine as if it had been

Good sleighing is such rarity in The
Dalles that genuine, old-fashioned
sleigh ride is accordingly greatly en-
joyed. With the night simply perfect,
the roads in fine condition, and fifteen
of the jolliest boys and girls in town
packed into the bed Of a sleigh Saturday
night, nothing could have added to the
enjoyment of the party, unless it was
that certain young man might have
left his feet at home, which took up so
much room, that, although he tried to
keep them "out of sight," the young
lady next him was simply crowded into
an inch of space. After riding around
town until at every window face might
be seen peering out in a vain endeavor
to see the "dog show" parade, they were
driven up the Mill creek road, where
they might sing Jingle Bells'' till their
throats ached without disturbing any

Speaking about taxes in the consoli-
dated city, a Portland paragrapher says
"a city with tax of four per cent. can
not prosper long. 1t is only question
of few brief years when its property
will so deteriorate in value that an eight
per cent. tax will be necessary to meet
its obligations. 1t won't be long before
property will be burden no man will
want to carry. Portland owes debts
enough. An increase will discourage
Investment within its boundaries. Its
heretofore healthy progress will be re-
tarded. Free bridges, mountains of
debt, and no money will remind us of
the prohgacy of 1S93."

Will you kindly remind the delegation
in the assembly from this county that
at the last nominating convention both
the republican and democratic conven-
tions passed a resolution declaring that
the additional 3315 per cent allowed to
clerks and sheriffs should be restricted
in this county. As we have not seen
any bill introduced to that effect as yet,
we hope you will not fail to see that the
will of the people, as expressed in that
resolution, shall be carried out Myself

the last term of the county court. The
same was omitted from the last official

LET THE GOLD MEN ANSWER THIS IF
THEY CAN.
[The Coming Nafion.l

The great stumbling block in the way
of the business men and manufacturers
of this country is the belief that 25 $40
grains of gold (caled a dollar) is intrinsi-
cally worth a dollar, or thai it costs Il
dollars worth of labor to dig il from the
ground. NV let us use a little reason.
The advocates of a gold standard say il
costs but about 40 cents to produce the
silver (4l213 grains) in the silver dollar.
Suppose We admit that TO be a fact. what
then? Why t ey say we want enough
silver put in to make il worth dollar.
All right, how much will have 10 he put

Dennyweight and 20 pennyweiahts make
an ounce; then there are 4SJ grains in an
ounce. In order to ascertain how many
sraius 10 put in TO make a dollar 5 worth,
we will apply che rule OF three. We say
if 20 cents will buy $50 grains. how many
grains will 100 cents, or 81, buy? We
place the problem thus: As 20 is to 4sO
so will 100 be to the answer; 20: 4S0:: 100.
multiply $50 by 100 and divide dy 20 aud
the answer is SIS 81 grains. Now you
have a dollars worth of silver in the sill

Will not tine same law that applies to the
cost of producing silver apply to the cost
of producing gold: Certainly it will
What do You suppose it costs to produce
the % $40 grains in your gold dollar?
Well, sir, the Road. of Denver, Colo, says
that the Homestake Mining Company, of
Black Hills, Colo, the larges. producers
of gold in the world, says it costs 32 cents
to produce the - $40 grains ia the dol
lar. IL this be true (Which we have no
reason to doubt there must be more
gold put in to make the gold dollar worth
a dollar. 1t certainly would not be fair
to measure a dollars worth Of silver (6s5
grains) by 81 cents worth of gold. How
much gold must be put In then to make
a gold dollar on''a parity" with the sill
yer dollar cess grains)! We will apply
the same rule to gold as silver. Then il
32 cents will produce 25 $40 grains. how
much will 100 cents produce? Then as 81
is to % $40 30 is 100 TO the answer; s2:
25 s-l0:: 100. Multiply Is $40 by 100 and
