the WORK

George Rose of Whiteaker was in
our little city Tuesday.
Qnite a number OF our citizens are
camping at Mehama during thekre-
uuiOn.
The farmers have been cutting their
grain, but were forced to stop on ac-
count Of the rain. Some OF the grain
has. begun Ito mould, and unless the
sun soon comes out to dry the grain,
IL will be quite n loss TO some.
Geo. Brown and family attended
the Populist picnic at Lyons.
We hear that Messrs. Powell and
GoOdle have been successful in getting
work at the mills near Berry.
Messrs. Churchill * Pound went to
Mehama to attend the reunion We'd
nesday.
August Wemrich has gone to the
mountains TO hunt work.
Last Friday evening social dance
was given at the city hall.
There is quite a good deal of pilfer-
ing going on in the neighborh4od.
Chickens, vegetables and fruit haye
been missing. Luckily they have not
been putting in their appearance
since the guns and revolvers have been
loaded for them. If any more such
work goes on some poor scamp is apt
to get crippled.
John Robertson has been Off for
few days at the reunion.

GOLD STANDARD ARGUMENTS.


For lack OF space II Is impossible TO
fully refute all the arguments Of the
gold standard organ az Salem. with
out giving up all our space, and we
must apologize 10 the general reader
for giving up 50 much. The States
man says:
A Mexican dollar is worth only &c
In this country because, nObo y being
Obliged 10 receive 10 In payment Of an
obligation, IL pass's current only at
It's bullion value. II melted down the
silver IL contains is worth about the
sum mentioned. oar own silver dol
lar, though intrinslcally worth about
the same, really cent less passes
current at valuation OF lO0c because
the government stands ready TO ex
change gold for II or paper that is as
good as gold. If free aud unlimited
coinage was ~ prevail, neither the
government nor the banks would fur
nish gold or full value paper money In
exchange for the silver dollar and IL
would instantly sink to its bullion
value.
The facts are that no country In
commercial transactions receives the
coins Of any other country except at
their bullion value. But as we pro-
duce surplus OF products to sell II
falls upon other countries 10 dig up
the money to pay for them.
The Mexican dollar will buy as
much In Mexico as IT, ever would.
The American silver dollar even as
bullion will buy as much OF labor and
products as IL ever would. Let any
laborIng man In a sawmill, woOlen
mill, barber shop, printing Office, or
on farm take the pay he gets today
In our silver dollars, melt H. into
bullion and exchange that bullion for
hpuif WbbiNnnf iuihpSi vi dug bbiitl
product OF human labor, he will find
IL will buy as much or more that ten
years ago. Gold has appreciated.
All other products have been deprecl-
ated.
But to return to the statement OF
the Statesman that the silver dollar
Is held up by gold, read these letters;
WINTERsET, Ia, Aug. 10, 1895.
Hon. Secretary OF the Treasury, |
Washington, ID. g.,
My Dear Sir:-lIaylng seen the |
statement made many times that the |
standard silver dollar remains at par |
because the government will redeem |
10 In gold, Il would feel under great |
obligations II you will state:
/. The statute, II any, which re-
qulres the government TO redeem sill |
yer dollars In gold.
2. To state whether II is now or
has ever been the practice 20 make |
such redemption.

Slr:-In reply TO your letter OF the
10th Instant you are Informed that
there is no law or regulation OF this
department which provides for the re-
demptiOn OF silver dollars or silver
certificates In gold. Silver certificates
are according To their terms redeemed
by the government In silver dollars
only while the silver dollar being a
standard coin OF the United States Is
not redeemable la any other form OF
money. 10 has never been the
practice OF the government To redeem
silver dollars or silver certificates i'm
gold. United States notes green
backs and treasury notes OF 1890 are
redeemed In gold when that Is de-
manded. Both silver dollars aud sill
yer certificates are received by the
government the same as gold in pay
ment Of all debts due the United
States Respectfully yours,
w. II. CURTIS,
Acting secretary OF the treasury.
We challenge the Statesman 20
show word OF law 10 prove its asser-
tion, tnat "the government stanus
ready % exchange gold or paper that
isas good as gold" for our silver dollar.
There is no truth Ia the assertion.
There is not word OF law by which
the government holds up our silver
money with gold. Our silver dollars,
half dollars, quarters and small change
are not redeemable IN gold. The sll-
yer dollar Is an unlimited legal tender
dollar aud Is held at par because there
Is an unlimited demand growing out
Of the everyday transactions OF 7O,-
0OO,O 600 people for legal tender money.
