A THIRTY YEARS TEST.

The Woodland Democrat assumes that
in referring TO reduction on wool under
a Republican administration THE CALL
intended to say that the reduction was
made by the Mckinley tariff. Our we'll
informed contemporary must know, Of
course. that the reduction referred to was
made before the Mckinley bill became q
law. 1t is an unquestioned fact that wool
has been on the down grade for the last
two or three years. The depreciation in
price is not peculiar to this country. The
foreign supply has been largely increased,
with the natural result of deprecated
prices. The falling off in the ordinary
American demand, both for home and
foreign wool, has aided the natural de-
probation. Our Woodland friend SAYS
that "protectiOnists have tested their
theory and it has proven a fiat failure,
both as to sustaining the prices of wool
and maintaining high standard of
wages" The Republicans have been
thirty years in testing their theory Of pro-
lection. In that period our progress has
been unprecedented and our rates of wages
unexampled in the worlds history. This
condition was maintained up to the time
when a President and Congress were
elected on a platform declaring protection
unconstitutional. That an almost unpre-
cedented depression set in few months
later is fact for which protectionists are
not respopsible

called to the commissioners mind an ex-
perience he had in 1868. He at that time was
mining In the ST. Louis Gulch, near Helena,
and had dug hole about four feet deep when

claim the stage brought into the camp a
"tenderfoor' named Brown, who had never
seen mine and was as ignorant OF mining as

ward becane famous as Uncle Sans pocket"
which was shaped like a pumpkin-seed abont
nVe 1eet long, three feet high and six inches at
Its widest part. Brown realized that he had
made big find, but did not know what to do
with his property. so he went to Helena and
sought out banker named Klinesmith, who is
sui there, and who bought Brown out for
$4,000. The find realized its new purchaser
over 100000. Brown went back to Omaha
and bought livery stable, which he Is still

DUTIES AND FREIGHT RATES

The Seattle Post Intelliqencer says in
respect to free coal and iron:
The real competition with Canadian coal will
be seen when Canadian coal meets the soft
Goals OF Maryland and Virginia at tdewater.
SO in the matter OF free iron ore, which will
come chiefly from Cuba, the competition of
whose mines will be felt most directly by the
Southern mines. These Cuban ores are better
than those of Alabama and Tennessee. and
their cheap sea carriage makes them cost far
less than the ores that are produced by the
Michigan mines.
Freight is an important factor in deter
mining the cost of raw material in any
given market. Water transportation is so
much cheaper than land transportation
that low tariff rate might be easily over
come. Alabama and Tennessee cannot get
.heir coal and iron to the Atlantic ports so
cheaply as England. Cuba or other coun-
tries which can ship by sea.

THE DEBT PROSPECT.

The Portland Oregonidn, gold paper.
has the following:
There are S85O,0O0,000 OF paper notes out,
which may be presented for redemption in
gold. The reserve VIII be drawn upon faster
than 1t can be TepleniShed by sale of bonds
The only effect of that sale will be TO increase
the interest charge. Some means ought to be
devised to keep up the supply OF gold without
constant borrowing. The only certain way is
to cause part Of the revenue to be paid in gold.
Our Oregon contemporary is too candid
and too intelligent not 10 have looked at
both sides of question before expressing
an opinion. Its conclusion that the only
certain way TO replenish the stock of gold
in the treasury is TO cause part Of the rev.
enue to be paid in gold was therefore ar
rived at. after having con sidered the policy
of using silver in part payment of notes
when presented. 1t will be said, we pre-
sumo, that the use of silver where gold
is preferred will impair our credit.
Notes that may be paid in all or in
part in silver will be quoted below
their gold valuation. The parity be-
tween gold and silver will thus be de-
stroyed. But let us consider the alterna-
tive. Standard silver dollars are receiv-
able for all Government dues. 1t is this
question Of receivability that holds them
at parity with gold. But the moment a
law is passed requiring a certain proper
ton of this revenue to be paid in gold, sill
yer parts with this quality of receivability.
There will be Government dues for which
silver dollars are not receivable. The inev-
liable result will be a premium on gold.
The parity of gold and 81 liver will be de-
stroyed as com pletely in one way as in the
other. The OregOniGn justifies its policy
on the action of the Government during
the Civil War. But the two cases have
but one point of resemb lance. That point
Is the fact that the Government did then
require certain duties to be paid In gold
There was then little or no silver TO pay
with. TIE white metal was higher than
the yellow on the legal ratio. We were
not producing much silver and n OF coming
any into 4121a-grain dollars. Silver was
worth more as bullion than as full weight
coin. The requirement that certain duties
should be paid with gold was simply that
coin of the lowest order should be paid
The $3.50, 600. 900 our contemporary speaks
of is made up mainly of $3.50, 0OO, 900 in
silver certificates and treasury notes and
S346, 000 900 in so-called legal tender. The
silver certificates represent 80 much silver
money In the treasury, and the treasury
notes were issued in payment of silver
bullion, but are not directly attached to
the bullion they purchased. They circu.

They are as clearly payable in gold as the

A REMARKABLE WOMAN,

A book has just been pu blished under
the title of memoirs Of Mrs. G.. l.. Bot
ta," which differs from other books in
that it has no author. 1t is a compilation
of memorial pieces on Mrs. Botta by peo-
pie who knew and loved her. AS such, it
is a very unsatisfactory book, and is OF
untitled to place in Libraries. Mortuary
eulogy is neither interesting nor valua BILE.
1t is not discriminating. All men and
women are divine to those near and dear
friends who bury them. The funeral ser
mon which was preached over Jesse
James, the bandit, described him as per-
son altogether lovely.
Yet the life of Mrs. Botta, or Anne
Lynch. as posterity will know her. is en-
:itled to place among American biogra-
phies. In her time she played part. and
not always an insignificant part, both in
politics and society. The first eighteen or
twenty years of her w6manhood she spent
In sch ool-teaching A few years ago there
were still to be found old people who said
she had heard them their lessons, and had
taught them well. One day it was discov-
cred that the Government owed her grand
father considerable sum for distinguished
services in the Revolutionary War. Tie
granddaughter, then a young woman of
3d. pressed her claim upon Congress. She
was not beautiful or even pretty, but there
was an lndefnable charm in her manner
which won hearts. The charming young
supplicant for the bounty of Congress soon
became well-known figure in Washing
ton.
At that time the leader of political So
ciety at the Federal capital was Henry
Clay. He had passed middle age. He
was depressed by the defeat of his politi-
cal aspirations. But he was still the
genial, kindly Henry Clay, whose heart
was as tender as woman's and who had
the faculty OF inspiring in male and female
breasts q devotion that was romantic.
Clay met Miss Lynch, heard her story.
espoused her cause. made her case his own
and by the melody of his voice and the
spell OF his flashing eye drove through
Congress bill which granted her petition
and secured her sum of money sufficient
to make her independent for life. From
| that time till Clay's death they were never
separated. Mr.. Clay's family resided in
| Kentucky; Miss Lynch was his secretary
| at Washington. She was more; she was
the old mans friend, counselor. confdant
and nurse. In those gloomy days when
the sage Of Ashland was tortured by dark
visions of coming disuuion and war be

cause. He finally concluded that il there
were more judges justice would be more
lively. The real causes of the laws delay
are repeated trials, appeals. rehearings
and like distractions. In most cases the
hrst trial is the best. By the time the sec
obd trial comes round witnesses on one
SIDE or the other will disappear. A second
jury is likely to be influenced in its verdict
Dy the verdict of the first. When the Su-
preme Court sends case back for new

nrst trial was not considered in harmony
with law and evidence. Possibly the case
was sent back on mere techn icality, but
a juror would naturally suppose that ii the
result was satisfactory the details would
not gain such Importance as to incur the
FISK OF its overthrow. Law will be re-
formed when lawyers want it to be. They
nave the matter in their own hands. The
only client who wants delay is one who
fears the result OF fair trial.
