! DURING the past four years of demo-
cratic rule the people have experienced
depression that has caused innumer-
| able business failures, the loss of homes,
the reduction of wages and a general
financial panic. Mills have been
forced to close, factories to suspend
operations and all industrial enter
prises have been brought to stand
still. These unfortunate conditions
have been felt right here at home as
much as elsewhere The farmers of
Thurston county have been unable to
secure anything for their produce and
it has been case of exchanging for
chips, whet-stones, ice and sawdust.
Who does not recall the days prior
to democratic rule, when labor was
plentiful, wages high, cupboards full
and children well clothed. A return
to these enviable conditions can be
accomplished by the return of
republican administration. That is
certainty while anything else will
be mere experiment. What we now
want, and speedily, too, is return of
that prosperity which always marks
republican rule. Unless we get it
there will simply be repetition of
four years of unsettled business con-
dltions, of starvation and suffering,
while the people will settle down with
the cry OF wait until 1900, as they
have been continually crying of late,
"wait till 96"-Olympian.

Free Silver and Lumber.

Col. Chauncey w. Griggs, president
of the St. Paul and Tacoma Lumber
Company, while talking the other day
on the political outlook is reported to
have said: "The mill men of the
state have believed that if Mckinley
and Hobart are elected prosperous
times will follow. This is my convic-
ton. But in view OF the agitation
for free coinage of silver at the exist
ing ratio and the demand that this
nation shall at once open its minis to
silver, we have felt that 1t would be
folly to extend our business or to al
low any accumulation Ct stocks. We
have cut down our orders for logs to
the bare necessities of the trade and
have regulated our output down to
just what we need to fill orders already
on hand. Until alter the election IS
over It would be far from business pru-
dence for a lumber mill TO increase its
output or to extend Its business in any
form. There too many uncertainties
about free coinage" Col. Griges has
always been a staunch Democrat.
He was the Democratic candidate for
United States senator in 1892. He
has alwayss been known as staunch
Democrat from conviction, but on
election day in next November he will
cast bis vote for the Mckinley and
Hobart electors.

Silver Coinage.

From official information received
at the treasury department from
twenty-one counties, the coinage of
silver during the calendar year 1895
amounted to the aggregate to $113,-
$4,000. OF this sum SIS, sos, 200 was
recoinage. Deducting this sum from
the total coinage gives the coinage of
silver from new bullion in 1895 as
500, 100000. The country coming
:he largest amount of silver in 1895
was Mexico, with coinage of $24,-
S32,350, followed closely by Japan,
with a coinage of $23,SS3, 800; next
China, with 1898, $40; Spain, 81 $685.
900; Great Britain, SIS ,S21 isl; United
States, $5,69S,000; Austria-Hungary,
100000; Peru, $4,073,000; Russia,
So ,554, 900; Ecuador, $2,5O0,000; Ger
many, $1,826,O00. The silver coinage
executed by Great Britain during the
year for her colonies was: For Canada
ST. ,l56, $50; for Hong Kong, So, 2OO,-
600; for the Straits settlement, $780,
400, total of $3,S0S,13O. France
coined for IndChina 5000, 900 in sill
yer, and for Morocco $354,6OO. Dur
ing the year 1895 the United States
recoined the largest amount of silver:
$4,S50,O00, followed by Austria-Hun-
gary with a recoinage of $3,31S 800 ;
England, $2,16O0O0; Germany, ST.
$4,000; Russia, $642,500; India,
$4S4, 500.
From January l to August l, 1895,
the coinage of silver dollars by the
mints of the United States was 49,
1852, 412, while the coinage of silver
dollars from 1892 to 1873 aggregated
SIS, O31, 23S only. The worlds produc t
of silver during the calendar year 1895
is estimated to have been 1925, 900, 900.
The amount of new bullion used in
the coinage, SO far as is known, was
500, 060, 900, and from the reports re-
ceived from twelve countries the
amount used in the industrial arts
was So, 100000, while the exports to
the east amounted to $37 SOC, 900
making the total disposition of the
worlds silver product for 1895, so far
as known, $179, $685. 900, which would
leave $46,430,000 for coinage and for
use in the arts by the countries from
which no reports have been received.

DISCOVERY OF COLUMBUS.
One More Wanderer From the Paths Of Rectitude Is Brought into the
 Fold.

Columbus Holmes IS once more ; guest of the county.
 Columbus it will be remembered was discovered last Thursday by MT. Creed Taylor, and on that oe. easion beat the original Christova Colon at slick tricks. He asked that before accepting the officers invitation to journey cityward, he be allowed to get his hat He was afraid the moonlight would injure his complexion. He got his hat, but he never came back He cared more for the bright, beautiful, balmy atmosphere than he did for the trip to town.
 Mir. Taylor's pride was hurt. That one should thus without form or ceremony leave him alone was more than he could brook, and he brooked it not
 On the next day he started after that man and found him, but alas.
 They met on the railroad track q few miles from town.
 Columbus then realized that if he was disdovered he was lost.
 The deputy constable with all the meekness of model private sccre- tary softly breathed, "Oh no, if yon are discovered you are found.
 Then the race began.
 The negro in the lead, the white man close follower. Across the country they went, through the fields and over the fences, into the 6riar patch across the sloughs until they were lostin the distance. On that day Columbus Holmes would have put to shame any coyote that ever crossed the great American desert. Mir Taglor returned footsore and aweary. As an officer he is great, but he is not built for sprinting.
 Last night the infallible whisper ing spirit told of the wanderers re turn. A stranger was sent after him, as he knew his former com petitor on the race course too well, and this time Holmes was clinched.
 He is in jail
 Ii may be well to remark that just before leaving the place of his capture he again asked that he be allowed to get his hat.
