TIE MEMORIAL TO CONGRESS.

The committee appointed during the
visit Of Senator Squire to draft memo
rial to congress showing the importance
Of Grays harbor, and its needs for lib.
eral appropriation have completed their
work. The memorial is in the name Of
tine various commercial bodies OF the Har-
Dor, and contains eighteen paragraphs,
each containing one or more strong
reasons for the improvements asked for.
A summary Of these reasons is: the
amount OF territory depending upon this
Harbor for its port, nearly equaling in
area the states Of Connecticut, Rhode
Island and Delaware; the amount and
value Of it's timber; the necessity for
harbor OF refuge into which vessels could
sail at any time, which will be the case
with the outer bar improved; shortening
Of route Of travel from California and
South America over the Puget sound
route, and the avoidance Of dangerous
sailing and long tow; number Of vessels
entering end leaving, lover two hundred
annually value Of exports and imports,
the combined value being more than two
million dollars, all Of which are supple
mented by the following exhibit:
Summary OF exports and imports at
Grays harbor for the year ending May 80,
1895, and compiled from authentic
sources.

How Will They Get 1t?

Silverites reply to the proof that there
is far more money now in this country
than at any previous period in our his.
tory by saying: 1.-THE money is oil
locked up in the banks. We want free
silver so the people will have the mon
ey." But they never explain how free
coinage, under which the silver mine
owners would take their bullion to the
mint and get back coined dollars, would
put those dollars in the pockets Of the
people, or how it would keep them out
Of the banks if their owners chose to de-
post them. The fact that we have near
" FIVE times as much money per capita
as Mexico, free silver country, should
lead the believers in free coinage to
think little about the probable results
Of their scheme.
Aberdeen herald. [volume] (Aberdeen, Chehalis County, W.T.) 1886-1917, 1895-12-26

The importance Of Grays harbor not
only as port of refuge, but also as a
strategic point in case Of war, must no:
be overlooked The Oregonian sums up
the situation in the following paragraph:
"The comparative ease with which tor
pedoes and other channel distractions to
an invading fleet could be removed by
countermining and blasting has been
overlooked BY the war party in its defense
OF Portland. 1t is admitted the Sound
would fall an easy prey and that Portland
would most dread land attack from the
North. The weakes. point, however, OF
defenseless Oregon and Washington. and
the one that would, perhaps, be OF the
greatest strategic importance to the
enemy, lies in the entrance to Grays har-
Dor, which gives waterway almost 10
the Northern Pacific railroad. Here is a
route that strikes this railroad at point
midway between Portland and the Sound.
An invading army brought to CentraIia OF
Chehalis would be in position TO reach
either Portland or the Sound cities by a
two days march,"
With the outer bar improved so that
one or two Of the large warshps could get
inside, they could hold this point Of
vantage against mighty attack.

ing Of the stand.still Of the shingle trade,
and the consequent fall in prices, says:
"There is but one remedy for the de.
noralization which now exists, viz: to
shut down and this the most OF the mills
are doing. Fifty mills have ceased
operating in the past two weeks to await
a demand and consequent stiffening in
prices. The percentage Of mills running
is not over 25 per cent. and the number
promises to be much less as there can
be no expectation Of trade being better
for the next 80 or 80 days. Stocks on
hand are heavy as the mills continued to
run until they were compelled to shut
down. Of the 100 live mills in operation
in the state the average on hand would
DO from 100000 to l 100000 Seattle and
Ballard mills have from 100000 to
$4,000, 900 shingles on hand"

paper says that prospects for next year
are that there will be no limit to the
demand, and if the output is curtaileL at
this season of stagnation, fair price can
be realized for next years cut.

CONTRACTION NOT WANTED.

1t is very evident from the expressions
OF many senators that the president is not
likely to receive authority to issue five
hundred million dollars OF bonds for the
purpose of redeeming and cancelling the
legal tenders, silver certificates and treas.
ury notes. And why should he? While
it would be unwise to open our minis to
the unlimited coinage Of silver, yet there
is sufficient gold in circulation to balance
the silver, including the silver dollars
represented by the silver certificates and
the bullion represented by the treasury
certificates when coined into dollars. The
total gold coinage is 1926, 600; the
silver dollars and fractional coins in
circulation, 1922, 1s6, 900; the silver dol
lars stored in the treasury and represented
by silver certificates 1888, 456 900 and the
coinage value Of the bullion purchased
under the Sherman act OF 1924, 721 900,
making a total of $3.50 1868 900 silver,
which will maintain itsel: at par with the
amount Of gold as stated.
The silver certificates and treasury
notes represent actual value, and are not
evidences Of the indebtedness Of the gov.
eminent. The treasury notes it is true
are virtually warehouse receipts, for
which the farmer vainly asked for his
grain, and are about as wise a piece of
legislation as the latter would have been,
but the mine owner was little shrewder
than the farmer, and got his demands
through congress. However this bullion
has not mildewed, aud can be yet coined
into dollars, aud placed into circulation,
unless for convenience certificates be
issued instead, calling for payment in
silver dollars.
But the legal tenders are different. |
They represent debt owing by the gov.
eminent, and under existing laws are a |
constant menace to the government. |
They are demand liabilities, and by them
the foreigner can the more readily find 4,
means to get gold for the American
securities he wishes to dispose of and
balances of trade than he could other.
wise. Were the gold not SO easy to OBJ.
tain he might content himself with some
Of our silver, or leave his investments
here until times were better, which would
be of advantage to this country. To re.
tire these legal tenders by an issue of
bonds in the ordinary way would mean
such a contraction of the currency as
would be disastrous to the people. If,
however, bonds in denominations Of from |
ten to fifty dollars were issued they would
be purchased by our own people with
money now hid away, and the apparent
contraction would be small; it might be
said that no real contraction would follow,
for these small denomination bonds could
and would be used As currency in very
many transactions. Then the amount of
the gold reserve would also be released
which would fully make up any actual
contraction caused by retiring the legal
tenders upon the basis outlined above. !

INCREASED EXPORTS OF MANU-
FACTURERS.

For many years the Republicans have
been saying to the farmers, vote for pro.
lection and we will soon buy all your
products at protection prices, but the
higher the tariff the more agricultural
products went abroad and were sold at
free trade prices. That the protectionist
was deceiving the farmer by his apparent
solcitude in finding him home market
is evidenced by the present course OF
these same fellows, who, now that the
other party is in power, points to the
diminishing exports Of agricultural pro-
ducts with a sort OF told you so ex.
preston, as he sheds hypocritical tears
Of sympathy for the fellows who are
suffering" from "the change"
1t lie just little difficult to tell why
diminition Of agricultural exports is bene-
fetal in one case and detrimental in
another, but it must be SO, for they say
30. A recent issue OF the Boston Journal
OF Commerce indicates why there is de-
crease in agricultural exports. The
Journal is commercial paper, without
party prejudices, and the reason given is
the one the Republicans have been con-
tending for these many years, and be-
cause it doesn't come their way, but the
other way, they reject the truth.
The Journal says "A notable feature Of
our export trade in recent mont his has
been the widening Of the markets for
American manufactures. There is the
cold, naked truth that hurts the pro.
tectionists. Because all increase has
come at once, under mere reasonable
tariff, they try to diminish its beneficial
effect by going back on score or more
years. of teaching, and taunting the
farmer with his diminishing exports-the
thing they have argued for in season and
out Of season. The Journal goes on to
specify, and tells Of the opening up Of
Arabia to our cotton; Roumania, Turkey
and Spain to our hardware. The pur.
chase by Russia Of very large lines oil
American manufactured rubber; by Cen.
trail and South America Of large orders
for American chemicals, cutlery, binding
Irvine, bicycles and electrical material.
And in agricultural implements South
Africa is large purchaser, while Argen-
tina took them to the value OF 1910, 1000
and Uruguay $4,000. The Australian
colonies have recently purchased $50, 900
worth OF American paper, and in add.
ton large quantities have been shipped
from Everett, Wash. The more the
farmers are hurt in this manner the more
they are likely to vote against returning
to the old story Of the protectionis:s-that
don't protect.

'mcial Paper Of the City of Aberdeen.
THE DAY OF JOY.

The happiest day i'll all the year to
many millions of the inhabitants OF the
earth is the anniversary Of that day when
the star of Bethlehem shone over the
lowly manger where the Christ child lay
nineteen centuries agone. Through the
teachings Of this one who came down
from above to dwell upon the earth for
little while all the world has been made
glad bv its outstanding and civi.izing
influence, and though all knees do not
bow, nor all pay homage, yet do all alike
partake of this blessing, and SO universal
is the blessing that but few fail to recog.
nize it by observing in some manner that
holy day, giving gifts to to their loved
ones and thereby teaching love to their
children.
Love is what brought Christ from the
skies, and love is the sum and substance
of all his teachings. Take love out Of
the Christian religion and you take it out
OF the world, leaving-nothing, at least
nothing worth the having. This then is
why Christmas day brings so much Of
joy, for love then finds expression, and
husbands, fathers, wives and children
alike deal out the precious ointment.
Though all the year they may have kept
strong hand on the strings Of affection,
and resolutely smothered all expressions
of tenderness, on this day the strings are
loosened, the laughter Of youth and the
prattle Of innocence fill the home and
joy and peace reign supreme, for at
least one day just as the master intended
it should every day.
It is we'll for the race that Christmas
joys come at least once year, for many
lose much Of life BY shutting themselves
up in shell as it were, and were it not
for this occasional opening would wither
and die. And then the children. they
never do that unless forced to, but how
many Iepel all expressions OF love from
their children; SO that to them the day
brings the opportunity for the pent up
feelings that have borne SO heavily upon
them. Though thoughts Of home and
loved ones far away bring something Of
sadness to mingle with the joy, yet
should not the lesson OF the day be lost.
Let the spirit of the Christ pervade all
hearts, and joy and sunshine will illu-
mine the pathway Of all that dwell upon
the earth, for Christ is love and love is
low
