the Democracy; and although We do
not fully agree with all he says, yet
the argument is unique and pertinent
to the issue, This is what he says:
''Go!d was mace the staal Ia d do"ar

the Democrats had all branches of the
government in hand. Up to then,
silver had been the standard of value.
Since then up to now gold Has reign

monitized than silver now is. =:

President Cleveland is doing moth
ing if he is not trying to maintain the
equality of silver with gold. : The
task is hard. While we pay our debts
at home with silver, the act of 1878
pledges the faith of the nation to pay
those abroad in gold because it is the
standard of value, made so by the
party opposed to Mr.. Cleveland.
True, our bonds call for coin, and
therefore either gold or silver, but if
each be not the equivalent of the other
when payment is demanded, the coin
which was made the standard by the
act of 1878, if preferred, must be the
coin demandable as the true meaning
and intent of the contract.
To make gold the standard, and
hen, refuse to recognize ;itas such, is
an act of, repudiation of which Mr..
Cleveland refuses to be guilty.

He faces the fact that the bullion

struggling to maintain their equality

FRUIT GROWERS ATTENTION.

AS president of the San Juan County
Horticultural Society, of Friday Har-
Dor, 1 hereby call a meeting for Mon
day, Jan. %, at l o'clock, p. m. Cali
fornia parties, with the assistance of
Whatcom and San Juan horticulturists,
are trying to build large fruit cannery
on Bellingham Bay. If built it will be
a large concern and will be able to can
everything, in their line, which is
raised in San Juan county. There will
be parties present who will explain the
whole matter. AS grain cannot now
be raised at a profit; and there is no use
to raise fruit and berries, if we cannot
sell them. AS this cannery if built will
can everything we can raise, and pay
us fair price for it, I think we should
endeavor to help all we can. The pro-
jectors say the cannery will require
1000 acres of peas the first year.
Respectfully,
L, 3. CARTER.

ISLAND COUNTY,S DEFAULTER.

When the commissioners, of Island
county came to make final settlement
with acting treasurer, Joe Libbey, last
week they found him short 81 ,890.58, OF
this amount $982,S7 was lost in the
Island County Bank, leaving short
age of $9O771 which Mr.. Libbey failed
to account for, and it was very plain
that Libbey was a defaulter TO that
amount. Mr.. Jacob Jenne, the treas
urer, while wholly exonerated as to
any knowledge of the matter, will be
held good for the shortage. The Island
County Times says:
"When Jacob JENNIE was elected
treasurer over two years ago he made
J. B. Libbey his chief deputy, turning
over to him the entire control of the
office and giving him all the emolu-
ments-the salary of $50 per month
prescribed by law. The commissioners
have examined the accounts and have
counted the cash at each quarterly
meeting, finding each time a carefully
kept and balanced set of books check
ing accurately with the accounts of the
auditor, and all the cash on hand ex-
cept 1892 81, deposited in the suspended
Island County Bank. When the COM
missioners met Monday morning, in
stead of finding Mr.. Libbey ready with
his report, they were informed that he
had taken to his bed and would not be
able to be out that day. In the after
noon Mr.. JENNIE, to facilitate matters,
procured from Mr. Libbey the combi-
nation to the safe, and, with the COM
missioners, counted the funds. To the
CONSERVATION of Mr.. JENNIE, the funds
were short $907.7l exclusive of the short
age caused by the bank failure.
Not the slightest suspicion of any dis
honorable intent attaches to Mr.. JENNIE
Public sentiment eXhOnOrates him from
any completely in or knowledge of the
disappearance of the money. There is
no one. whether his relations with him
were friendly or unfriendly, but knows
that he is man of the strictest finan-
cial integrity. Heis not wealthy man
but is able to make the shortage good.
If he were not, his bondsmen walter
Crockett, Chas. P. Eaton, E. G. Rock
well and Ed. Jenne) are perfectly good
and would help him out. They are too
honorable to seek to shirk any OF their
liabilities through any legal subterfuge.
Mr.. Libbey has offered Mr.. JENNIE
second mortgage on all of his property,
which it is thought will in time repay
him for making up the shortage. Mr..
Iibbey has served Island county III
various capacities during the past six
teen years, and was universally trusted
/ A growing appetite for liquor no doubt
caused his ruin.

Proposed Fruit Cannery at -Whatcom.

Mr.. c. j. Vernon, practical cannery-
man, from Whittier, CAL, was in What
com, during the past week, looking over
the field with a view to organizing a
company and erecting fruit cannery
on Bellingham bay. The Whatcom
Board of Trade has taken the matter in
hand and we understand that What
com business men are subscribing quite
literally for stock. Mr. Vernon SAYS
that he is confident that cannery
costing $4,000 would pay 10 per cent
dividend the first year. He says that
the evergreen blackberries, which are
produced in abundance in this part of
the state, are an ideal berry for canning
purposes. Mr.. Vernon proposes to
evaporate prunes, plums, apples, etc.
All kinds of suitable fruit will be either
canned or preserved. Besides this peas,
string beans, ETC.. will be canned.
Chairman Carter, of the San Juan
horticultural Society, has issued call
AOA q vi UuC IOCdl IlOI
to be held at the Court House, at Fri
day Harbor, next Monday afternoon,
to see if the fruit growers of our county
can be induced to interest themselves
in the proposition and give the projec-
tors some substantial encouragement.
This is matter of considerable interest
to our local fruit growers, as it is well
known fact that the market for green
fruit is not large enough forour ncreas-
ing products of our orchards. 1t is also
generally conceded that San Juan
county could not, at the present time,
supply cannery with sufficient fruit
to make it paying investment. But
with our present boat service our fruits
could be shipped to Bellingham bay at
very small cost, and with a cannery
located there would find ready cash
market. 1t is to be hoped that our local
fruit growers will attend the meeting
next Monday, for the cannery, if built,
will look to San Juan county for large
per cent of their fruit.

THE AMERICAN ARBITER.

Shortly before John w. Foster
sailed for China a party of Wall
street men went to see him on the
subject of the Chinese indemnity.
This indemnity is destined to have
an important bearing upon Ameri-
can politics. Should the indemnity
be paid in gold, our own treasury
reserve will be drawn upon rather
seriously. Should it be paid in
silver, the demand for the white
metal will undoubtedly create an
enormous demand for the product
of Western mines and boom the
silver states immensely. 1t can
thus be readily seen how closely
our national interests are bound up
in the settlement of the dispute.
The Wall street men visited Mr..
Foster in body, and urged him to
favor a gold settlement. Our dip
lomat became very much incensed
at this. He declared that the rep
reservations of the bankers were
gross violation of diplomatic ethics
and that he would act as he thought
boc4 -, tho ;,+opoctc of Cl;Do No
sooner had intelligence of this in
cident reached banking circles in
the West than there was rejoicing.
China would rather pay the indem-
nifty in silver, and since Mr.. Foster
will act as China wishes, it is pretty
certain that he, too, will be a silver
man. In that event silver will have
revival. Mr.. Fosters anger is
taken to mean that he opposes the
attempt to make the negotiations
of John Chinaman a private specu-
lation of Father Knickerbocker.
The treaty will be looked forward
to with interest by American fnan-
ciers.
This is a good example Of Wall
street patriotism. The Wall street
bankers would deplete the govern
ment treasury at any time, if by so
doing, they could add to their for
tunes.
