However we may disagree with Il

However we may disagree with the
actions of the Astoria Chamber of
Commerce with regard to the monet
airy question, and its messages to the
outside world on that subject, there Is
no doubt that expressions of opinion
publicly and boldly announced will do
our city no harm, 1t let's outsiders
know first that there is an Astoria,
second, that it has powerful chamber
Of commerce, and third, that we are
alive 70 the issues of the day just as
much as are our friends in the East
Then again. the proposal to take the
lead in movement to suitably reeog-
nise the action of the government in
naming It's latest battleship after our
state, Ia an excellent idea and should
be acted on without delay. 1t is emf
nently proper that commercial body
OF the only seaport in oregon should
be the first to make a move In this
direction.

An esteemed correspondent who,
from being staunch republican Is,
we are sorry to see, fast falling into
popullstic ideas writes US;
/. "You want to know what 1t costs
to mine an ounce OF silver. VIII you
toll us how much III costs to mine an
ounce Of gold?"
The cost Of the production of gold Is
On the average about what the stamp
placed on the coin says, OF course,
there Is variation. but II is small.
cold Is not Interchangeable. but IL is the
most stable of the precious metals, and
an ounce of It goes in all civilized
countrles-the same in the market as
in the mint. Silver mining has been
much more profitable than gold min
ing for some years Large percentages
OF silver are found along with small
percentages Of gold, and silver is
found in lead and copper. There Is
reason TO believe that It is produced In
colorado at less than one-fourth its
valuation under the 16 to ratio, and
at less than one-half the present mar
l,et price.
2. "Is currency Is so scarce, why don't
the government and the banks put
out the 42OOOO,OOO of silver dollars that
you say are in the United States
vaults? The farmers will take them,
the laborers will take them, and the
country merchants will take them. If
500 100000 In gold In the United States
treasury can float $35O,0OO,OOO Of green
backs, why can't " float twice that
amount of silver?'
The silver dollars are nearly all rep
resented In silver certificates, and are
held for the purpose of redeeming
those certificates. The dollars Of silver
are In this way In circulation. The
Si0O,OOO,OOo Of gold floats the green
backs ard is used also to hold up the
silver dollars that are worth In the
market less than 60 cents each, The
margin Of the silver dollar between the
market and the coinage valuation is,
under the parity" policy, fiat" mon
ey, and made good, as paper is, by the
credit OF the countryside limitation

3. "lf France has $7OO,OOO,0OO in sill
yer and keeps II at par with gold, why
can't the United States with twice the
population. keep twice that amount ut
par with gold?''
We could keep SoOOoO,OOO, or even
$1,000, 100000, in silver at par with gold,
az they keep silver in France, if we
did as the French do--that Is, IL we
did not buy or coin any more silver

Clatsop county has had her fill of
murderers. We are getting an unenvi-
able name both for allowing men to
kill and then allowing them TO go
free from the capital penalty. Every
body knows that though human life
has been taken by blodthirsty wretches
time and time again In this county,
there has never been hanging. This
lieiter, young German whose full
confession we detail today, makes the
latest subject for a sensation and a
murder trial. His case, though not as
exciting as some, forms as black a
deed as ever disgraced our history. His
victim, a peaceable, honest lad, for he
was little more than a lad had never
harmed him by word or deed, was a
stranger to him, and travelled with
him for companionship along lonely
road. He was butchered into a shape
less mass for--twenty-two dollars. The
lynching proposition is wrong, crimin-
ally and foollshly wrong, but 1t is the
constant escape of murderers from
their just punishment in the courts
that brings it about. If these human
fiends were sure of getting their de-
serts in legal way we would have no
lvnchinps.
