THE tide which has been setting
| in for weeks toward free silver in
the west is overwhelming and ir-
resistible. For Mr.. Cleveland to
endeayor to force it back by letters
or rotund declarations only help
the good cause along.
So LONG as-the people in the Un-
tied States in legislative hall and
public assemblies, are silent con-
cerning the demand for the full res
toration of silver as money, clamor
of the outside world will grow
louder.
AS WILL be noted elsewhere in
this issue, we are now offering the
Portland weekly Sun and the
PRESS for 50 per year. If you be-
lieve in free silver, you can't get
along without the Sun. 1t gives
the news and shines for all.
The Salem Journal says: One
man like Mckinley Mitchell, who
finds a market for 80 carloads oil
Oregon potatoes, is worth a dozen
who write long newspaper articles
on how to develop this state.
The Union Republican stops in
its usual corner long enough to
say: Cleveland has committed
the democratic party to monomet-
allism. The Union Republican

ALTHOUGH there has been hand
some rise in the price Of beef cattle

THE talk of a new state, to be
formed from portions Of Wis ,onsin,
Minnesota and Michigan, will
probably end in talk. 1t isn't
such an easy matter to divide
states or form new ones out of old

ATHENA, APRIL 26, 1895.

INGALLS, on gold: ut is the
most cowardly and treacherous of
all metals. It makes no treaty it
does not break. 1t has no friend
it does not sooner or later betray.
Armies and natives are not main
tanned by gold. In times of panic
and calamity, shipwreck and dis
aster, it becomes the agent and
minister Of ruin. No nation ever
fought greater war by the aid Of
gold. On the contrary, in the cris-
is Of the greatest peril, it becomes
an enemy more potent than the
foe in the field; but when the bat
tie is won and peace has returned
gold reappears and claims the fruits
Of victory. In our own civil war
it is doubtful if the gold Of New
York and London did not work us
greater injury than the powder and
lead and iron of the rebels. 1t was
the most invincible enemy Of the
public credit. Gold paid our sold
ier or sailor. 1t refused the ma
tional obligations. 1t was worth
most when our fortunes were the
lowest. Every defeat gave it in
creased value. It was in open al
lance with our enemies the world
over, and all its energies were evok-
ed for our destruction, But as usu-
al, when danger has been averted
and the victory secured, gold swag-
gers to the front and asserts the
supremacy"
THE LAST annual report Of the
Bank of France shows that it is pos
sible to keep a stock Of gold and
silver available at the same time,
and also that silver reserve may
be utilized to prevent the stock Of
gold from being diminished.
During 1894 the gold reserve of
the bank was increased by $71,.
100000 and since January LIST a
further increase af $26,000,000 has
been made, bringing the stock of
gold up to $427,500,0oO. The
cause Of this increase was simply
the natural flow Of exchange. All
payment to the bank from foreign
sources are made in gold-in the
form of ingots or foreign coin.
Money in this shape not being cur.
rent in France it is brought to the
bank, which issues its notes in pay
ment for it. When it comes to
paying out money, however, the
rule is different.
In addition it is reserve of $425,.
100000 in gold, the bank holds
some 250,c00,00o in silver When
the notes of the bank are present.
ed the holder is required to take a
part in silver. If the amount is
large and the bank supposes that
it is intended for export it will pay
only one-half in gold and the other
half in silver. 1t will sell ingots
or foreign coins, but will not sell
French gold coins.
