PROF. FoxwELL's LETTER.


Like YOU. / am a strong international
bi-metaliist. Nothing short of complete
confidence and unlimited miniage VIII ever
restore silver: and these can only be oh
tanned by international agreement We
are making great progress here. II is on
the cards that international hi-metaiiism
may become a plank In the Conservative
platform at the approaching general cleo
ton. Every member OF parliament who
has been elected this year is pledged to do
all In his power TO further an information
al agreement.
We Incline TO an agreement for the I'M
limited purchase OF gold and silver "bul,
lion" for legal tenders. leaving IL to each
government TO say what form that legal
tender shall take-whefhsr coins or notes
always. Of course observing your prin-
ciple, that whatever forms OF legal tender
are current must all be maintained at
par.
As 10 ratio. incline 70 % to /: ISL 10
IL arbitrary. and rather too high, in my
judgment. Twenty TO one would fit the
decimal system and facilitate all calcaia-
tons.
Existing coins might be maintained as
token coins. circulating at above the in,
ternationai par. Just as they now circulate
above the existing market par.

DIFFICULTIES OF CASCADE PASS.
Anaeortes. March Z. 1895

Anacortes, March Z, 1895.
To the Editor: We were members OF
Mayor Curtis party which crossed the
mountains via Cascade pass on July z.
1894. The account Of that days travel as
published In the March l issue OF the
Post-Intelligencer was substantially cor
rect and not in the least exaggerated.
We were ten days going from Marble
mount, on the Skagit river. TO Winthrop.
on the Methow river, making camp as
follows: Left Marblemount early June IS
and went into camp at Puley's on same
night. remaining In camp during storm
on the 18th: Barnett.s cabin on night OF
June 90; Gilbert Landre's cabin on night
OF July 1: Horseshoe basin, night OF
July z: at junction Park creek and
Stehekin river on night July 5, about
seven miles up Bridge creek on night OF
July 4: at edge Of snow line below
Bridge-Twisp summit on night of July
S: on Twisp creek beyond Br!dga-Twisp
summit on night of July s.: and went
into camp on Methow river. opposite
Winthrop. at p. m. July Z. A guide
named Gilbert Landre took the party
through Cascade pass. Our party did not
unnecessarily lose time during any OF the
ten days. the only delay being during the
storm OF the 18th of June.
The members OF the party were Mayor
Soule. E. L. Gerrish and A. NJ. Barron.
We had four pack animals. We went via
Cascade pass route because the two
bridges across the upper Skagit above
Goodalrs. had been washed away by the
floods OF the previous May and June.
which rendered the trail up the main
Skagit impossible for animals.
On July 6. four days after crossing Cas-
cade pass. we overlook Jack O'Brien, OF
Marblemount, and another man. and they
said that In crossing Cascade pass they
had lost one pack animal. 1t missed Its
footing and slid over the snow bank
We returned IN September via Cascade
pass with the animals, while the other
members of the party either went down
the Slate and Skagit trail or down the
Columbia and over TO the Sound on the
Great Northern. We lost one pack AMI
NAL in coming through Cascade pass. /,
slipped and tumbled over a precipice.
These are the only trips we have made
over Cascade pass. but from what we saw
we know that a wagon road cannot be
built and maintained over that route.

The disagreeable task OF apoiogizing TO

wry face by Mr.. Gresham. Neither the

the shadow of authority TO present the

THE SILVER QUESTION.
A Letter From Mr.. j. b. Montgomery,
of Portland.

A Letter From Mr.. j. r. Montgomery,
of Portland.
Portland. March Z. 1895.
To the Editor: I was pleased to read
the editorial in your paper of the 9Th inst
on international Bi-metallism" It un-
auestionably points out the right way to
restore silver as money Of ultimate re-
demptton and with full 6ebt-paying power
The world has been badly out of joint
since Germany led the way I'm 1872 In de-
monetizing silver: and as evidence of IL
three monetary conferences have since
been held with a view of restoring silver
two in Paris. In 1879 and 1881, and one In
Brussels In 1891. Silver would have been
demonetized at Brussels but for the fact
that the United States was trying TO hold
up che load itself by the enormous pur-
chases t54000,000 ounces q year, under the
Bland-Sherman law Of 1850. 1t was fu-
tile. We could not do 1t, nor can any ma
ton. solitary and alone. BY repeating
that law we knocked silver down, caused
great distress in England. France. Ger.

tries to see the vital need of restoring BIZ

some OF the principal bi-metallists of

In favor of international agreement to re-
store silver as coin metals do not ex-

Harcourt ministry. But their days are
numbered. They will. In very few

This IS the way IN which the Portland
Oregonian regards the silver question. IL
SAYS: What Ia the central principle OF
pnpulisme Dehasemcnt or the money of
the country Hence. all populists are
stlverites, and all sliverites are Popu-
lists, no matter by what ether names they
call themselves great many people
who claim TO be good Republicans be
iieve I'm the use OF silver as Il moneX of
ultimate redemption on parity with gold.
In fact probably niue-tenths OF the peo-
PIE or oregon aud Washington entertain
that belief And yet they would hardly
concede the right of the oregcnian TO des-
ignate them as Populists.
