Does any one know why Oregon

Another matter that argues very
forcibly for home manufactured books
is this sexennial change. If this change
must be made, Oregon had better reap
the beLetit thereof. In my opinion,
there Is no valid reason for changing
such as readers, spoilers, writing books,
grammars and arithmetics. AT least
not SO often. OF cource, the object is
to keep up with the times, but these
books are not much, If any, improved

the children are continually new to the
books. To the teacher only will they
be monotonous. That some of our
former text books are superior to the
same branches now iD use, every
learned educator in Oregon ought to
know. This proves that change is
not always usefully made.
The several county school superin-

Enlarging Fort Snelling.-Getting

The movement by the st. Paul

ment of infantry, deserves the sup

measure of local benefit, but for the
general good of the service. Fort
Smelling is about equi-dstance be-
tween Minneapolis and St. Paul by
the river route, and any local benefits
which would accrue from it's enlarge
ment would be shared about equally
by the two cities. The policy has re-

partment OF dismantling the smaller
frontier posts and concentrating the
troops at more central points afford

station in the Northwest more central
than Fort Smelling. Over the net
work of railroads which focus in the
twin cities troops can be quickly dis
patched in any direction, East or
West, North or South. Fort Smelling
is entitled by it's location to be one of
the most important military stations
in this country, and with proper rep

There has been more or less denial
by the monometalists that the fall in
the price of wheat, cotton, ETC., has
been due to the denomination of sill
yer. In this connection we find in
The Weekly Globe of Corpus Christi,
Texas, the following able article:
Leading articles of consumption
are lower than for 300 years: wheat is
lower in England than at any period
since Charles the First. or the landing
of the Pilgrims in New England: mer-
chant bar iron is lower in price than
ever before since its first use by man:
cotton was never SO low before. The
great agricultural classes are brought
to the verge of ruin.
This has been brought about by the
| change in the money standard. and by
nothing else. Nor is there any hone
Of relief so long as this policy is pur-
sued. We must throw off the yoke Of
the single gold standard and restore
to the country the constitutional
standard of gold and silver, or hope.
lessly suffer on. There is no other
remedy.
The money question is therefore the
supreme issue before the country.
There is no other. and there can he no
other of sufficient Importance to dis
place this, until this is settled, and
settled rightly. Fortunately the field
| has been at last cleared for this lat
| tie. Tie tariff is now out Of the way.
There will be no further contest be-
| tween protection and free trade, for
both alike, with the gold standard,
lead in the end to the same goal. Eff
| fcctivc protection for debtor nation
is impossible under the gold standard.
| To the extent the lowering of the tar
if tends to increase imports, to that
| extent it no doubt would tend to draw
away gold, unless imports are tffset by
| increased exports. But besides Offset
ting imports with exports we must al
| so ray as tribute to other countries,
| mostly to England, from 5000, ,0Oo, 600
| to $3.50, 900. 900 per annum as interest
on l. ans and other dues. This must
! be paid in gold tr in commodities. 1t
cannot be paid for a single year in
gold without ovcrthrowing the gold
standard On the other hand. If by
| protection or otherwise, prices Of COM
modities in the United States are
| raised above the international level of
prices, then the creditor nations will
cease to buy of lis and demand gold.
This writer is right. The world is
turned back to the 18th century, so
far as the purchasing power of money
| is concerned. The results cannot but
be most diSastro to mankind. This
condition will prove the breeder Of
horrible revolutions. The money
lenders of the old and new world little
dreamed what they we're doing, when
they drove the crow-bar of demone-
tization of one of the great metals in
to the complicated machinery Of the
business of the world. They will yet be
| destroyed by their own rascality.

DEAR SIR:-Please tell me how to

Allance meets SO we can send dele

w. FL. INGALLS,.
we are glad to see such resolution,
and to know that it exists all over the
state.
we would say to Mr.. Ingalls-Start
out ana visit all the members near
you, and send postal cards to those at
distance; fix time and place, in
your own house if no better affords:
make the time afternoon or evening
as best suits the farmers. Get them
together;-have free talk-explain

suing year. Don't bother much with
formalities. The Alliance is simply a
brotherhood Of farmers for self-de.
renee. Elect your delegate and let
each CHIP In to pay expenses. If.your
people are too poor send a proxy to
some one to represent you. Be sure to
GO this. Our enemies are hoping for
the death Of the organization. Show
them that your interest is unabated
and that your Alliance is on the roll of
those present.
we are proud to think that Mr. In.
gals believes that delegate will
come 352 miles to attend meeting for
the good OF mankind. He can cxpect
no return except the general welfare.
A body of such men should be held in
honor by the whole people Of the
state:-they will afford a striking con-
trast with the Legislature which will
assemble about the same time.
Let our friends all over the state
move earnestly and rapidly; and see
that every Alliance is represented at
the coming meeting. Remember that
all PopullstS are expected to be pres
ent at the same time,-and we will
have love-feast.
Defeated but not disheartened:-
overcome but not conquered. That is
our position.

A QUESTION ANSWERED.
Nearly All the Gold Consumed In
the Arts.

Our friend. DR.. A. T. Conley, of
Cannon Falls, writes us the following
letter, under date of Nov. 26.
To the Editor:
In a friendly discussion with Repre-
sentative Scotield, he made the follow
ing statement, more than half OF the
worlds annual product Of gold is used
for other purposes than money"
L doubted the correctness of the
statement, and so asked the Pioneer
Press about it, and here is its answer:
g Isit true that of all the gold mined in
the world each year more than half goes
into the arts and sciences? Or, in other
words, that less than half the gold pro-
duced annually goes into money? A. The
statement seems to be true, as calcula-
enda, eion MADE ma E. 6y German statistician and
endorsed by Mulhall goes on to show that
during the fifty years ending with 1880
there had been mined in the world $500 tons
OF gold, and of this amount 2,O7O tons we're
used in arts, manufactures and other pur-
poses than for coinage.
However, l am not yet quite salts
fed, as the "World's" and News )"
Almanacs do not give that impression
at all.
so knowing you are authority on all
these questions, it occurred to me
that you could give me the facts in
the matter. Very cordially yours,
"A. Il. CONLEY, M. ID.
In "Facts about Silver" carefully
prepared statement, issued by the
Bi-metallic League, of Washington, in
1892, p. 20, we find that Jacobs, a
financial authority, estimates that all
the gold in circulation wears out
in 240 years. Hence the Bank of Eng
land weighs it's gold. On the next
page it is stated that the United
States produces annually $32, 2,OOO,OOO Of
gold, and Of this from $2o,oOO,OOO to
$22,OOO,O0O are used annually in the
arts; and IN ten gears the arts aciU con-
sumo erery dollar produced IA this country!
The same authority places the total
production of gold in the world, every
year, at $1O5, ,O0O,0O0, and it estimates
that from $65,00o.0oo to $50, 900, 900 are
used yearly in the arts. So our friend
will see that, instead of one-half,
nearly seventy-five per cent is not
coined as money. Indeed leading
writer's such as Griffin, Suess, and SEN
atOr Jones claim that nearly all the
annual production is used in the arts
This is the more probable when we
find that during the last ten years the
annual production of gold equalled
but y cents per capita! Prof. Nichol-
son, of the University of Edinburgh
says, the total consumption of gold
other than for money is equal to 49,
100000 pounds leaving 5000, 900 pounds
for coinage-or less than one-third.
And the richer the aristocracy be-
comes the more gold is used for arti-
cles of ornament or luxury, and thus
every year the less is left for the cur
rency of world growing rapidly in
population and business; and hence
every day makes our embarrassments
greater, our poverty more overwhelm-
ing and our approach to the abyss
closer. And so we are ''shooting
Niagara" I'D.
