Governor Pennoyer's Corker.
In answering an invitation to be
present at the meeting ofthe Trans
Mississippi Congress, to convene Ia
Ogden, April Oath, Governor PEN
noyer, of Oregon, says: Il do
most heartily approve OF your oen-
vocation. It would clearly be craven
if not criminal to attempt the sup
preston of the great fact that
through Congressional Legislation
the East has become the virtual
master of the West. Rich and var
led as are the resources of the vast
empire of the mississippi, ito
yoemen all are compelled to yield
to the capital of the East, aggran-
died by virtue OF federal benefac-
tions and bounties, the lions share
of the profits of their tod. They
nav tribute to the East in the in
terest on money loaned, in heavy
railroad freights so fixed as to rem
der rich returns to Eastern bond
holders, in tariff charges fer the
benefit of Eastern manufacturers.
and by virtue of a national finan-
cial policy outlined and followed in
the interest of the creditor classes
of the great money centers OF the
Eastern States and of Europe
Thos capitalists, who like lilies
"toil not neither do they spin"
take the rewards of our aaber and
the profits of our industries in such
usurious toll that we have really
become their servile hewers of wood
and drawers of water. Not content
with their wealth so easily acquired
and productive ofsuch rich returns,
they now seek to enhance the value
of their money, by diminishing'the
worlds supply through the disuse
of one of the precious metals, recog-
nized by the constitution and hon
ored for mere than eighty years OF
our national existence. The whole
history of the civilized world tur-
nishes no parallel to the atroclty
of the crime of the demonstration
i of silver. With not enough metal
money in the world to do the busi-
ness of the world, as evidenced by
the use among all nations of paper
money, the Congress of the United
States, at the beck of the money
lords of Europe and the creditor
class of our country, has dishon-
ored one of our precious metals,
thereby enhansing the wealth OF
the creditor class at the expense OF
the debtor class. Not only ttrs,
but the experience of the whole
world from time immemorial has
shown the diminution of the vol
ume of money legitimately results
in the reduction of wages, an insult
ficiency Of industries, and a uni
t yersal decline in values. Against
r this. one of the most atrocieus gov
t ernmental crimes of any age, the
3 Trans Mississippi Congress should
t utter it's most solemn ond earnest
protest. Public sentiment should
be aroused, unified and enthused.
The precious metal, the demonei-
$ cation of which was procured In
3 Congress through fraud and whach a
t has been perpetuated against the
! will of the people through the man,
; ipulations of the two great political
i parties in the interests OF the few,
