igent difference of opinion. If ma
really thinks that "the volume q
money makes no difference in prices
he is not using his God-given intel
lect at all.
lfthe number of dollars Tor none
tary units in existence made no diff
ference about prices, then it woult
make no difference in prices if tn,
worlds whole stock of money were
only $40, instead of what it is: yet
any man with brains enough to keer

that it would make a decided differ.
.ence. He knows that, if there were
only $4,000 in existence, there is nc
piece Of property in Salem that would
sell for $1,000, or for 800, or for SO.
And, if reducing the worlds stock of
money a million fold would have a
corresponding effect on prices, why
should not smaller reduction have a
like effect? Is it necessary to the sue
cess of Mark Hanna's man that we
should throw to the winds all such
t1colocc Inn, hon 1o..:.O
But" says the wise man when you
speak OF a smaller reduction, "let the
money circulate faster" He seems
incapable Of understanding that there
is any limit to the rapidity with
which money will circulate, and he
thinks that one dollar will easily do
the work of more by simply going
oftener. According to his philosophy
a man could carry as much water in
day from the river to the Capitol
with teaspoon as he could with
fve-gallon can; he would only have to
faster"
Their bushel illustration is as good
(for u.s. as any they use. We do not
claim that as many measures are re-
quired as there are bushels of wheat
to measure; but we do claim that the
number of measures must bear some
reasonable relation to the number of
bushels. Their idea, logically carried
out, is that it makes no difference
about the number of measures; one
measure would do as we'll as more to
measure the wheat crop of Marion
county, of Oregon, of America, there
being no limit to the work which one
measure or one dollar can perform.
But why seriously argue this pointP
One of FOrepaugh's trained seals
ought to be able to see that a reduc-
tion of the volume of money In rela-
tion to the volume Of business must
inexorably cause fall of prices, and
a denial of this principle is totally
of any man who has any
thing better than chunk of putty to
do his thinking with. The fact that
people of average intelligence really
do deny it only goes to show to what
an unthinkable extent partisan preju-
dice can render man deaf and dumb
and blind and devoid Of the senses OF
smell and taste. "But there has been
no reduction" says one. Very well
then; that is another question alto
gether,- simple matter of statlscics'
Why don't you get in and prove that
there has been no reduction, and let
it 90 at that, instead Of making SUCH
a divers and sundry and yarlgated and
picturesque ass out of yourself In Try
ing to disaprove truth that is as IN
coutrovertible as NewtoD's law OF

TERRITORIES.

We favor the admission of the ter
ritories OF New Mexico, Arizona and
and Go = Ga" so, intn the I1"itHa o.. ~,
all the territories having the neces-
sary population and resources to en-
title them TO statehood, and while
they remain territories, we hold that
the officials appointed. to administer
the government of any territory to-
gether with the District Of Columbia
and Alaska, should be bona fide resi-
dents of the territory or district In
which the duties are to be performed.
The Democratic party believes in
home rule and that all public lands
Of the United States should be appro-
priated to the establishment of free
homes for American citizens. We
recommend that the territory Of
Alaska be granted delegate in con-
gress, and that the general land and
timber laws OF the United States be
extended to said territory.
MONROE DOCTRINE.
The Monroe doctrine Is originally
declared and as interp reted by succeed
Ing presidents, Is permanent part OF
the foreign policy OF the United
States, and must at all times be main
tained'
CUBA.
We extend our sympathy to the
people of Cuba In their heroic strug-
gle for liberty and independence.
THIRD TERM.
We are opposed 20 life tenure In the
public service. We favor appoint
ments based upon merit, fixed term OF
Office, and sach an administration Of
the civil service laws as will afford
equal opportunities TO all citizens Of
ascertained fitness. We declare IL TO
be the unwrltten law of this republic,
established by custom and usage Of
one hundred years and sanctioned by
the examples Of the greatest and
wisest Of those who founded and have
maintained our government, that no
man should be eligible for a third
term In the presidential office.
WATERWAYS.
The federal government should care
for and improve the Mississippi river
and other great waterways OF the re-
public, so as to secure for the interior
states easy and cheap transportation
TO tidewater. When any waterway OF
the republic Is OF sufficient import
ance TO demand aid OF the govern
ment suck aid should be extended up
on definite plan OF continuous work
until permanent improvement Is
secured.
ConhdiDg in the justice of our cause
and the necessity OF its success at the
polls, we submit the foregoing declar-
atiOns OF principles and purposes TO
the considerable judgment OF the
American people. We invite the sup
port Of all citizens who approve them
and who desire 70 have them made
effective through legislation for the
relief OF the people and the restoration
OF the country's prosperity.

baltimore and Ohio Reform,

Interesting news as to the Washington
end of the Baltimore and Ohio Railroad is
that which The Star today presents to it's
leaders For many years the Baltimore
and Ohio representatives have talked
vaguely about the abolition of grade cross
ings and the erection of a station that
would be creditable as to appearance and
appointments, but the rumors never APP
preached naturalization and until lately
they were not accorded any semblance of
respect by a majority of those who under
stood railroad methods when legislation
was in prospect. 1t now appears that the
Baltimore and Ohio Company Is willing and
ready 20 do that which this community has
been pleading for; the plans are made plain
in the news columns of The Star OF course
the propositions made by the company will
meet with opposition-the idea of two via
ducts is certain to arouse those who are of
the opinion that one viaduct would be
much better for the public-but a sincere
effort on the part of the road to solve the
grade-crossinss problem will doubtless re-
suit in reasonable agreement concerning
the details of viaduct construction. The
facts to be borne principally in mind are
that much of Northsast W ashington is now
cut off from the major portion of the city
by steam-railroad tracks at grade and that
it is proposed to unite Northeast Washing
ton with Northwest Washington by put
ting the tracks up on solid masonry via
ducts under which the business of the
streets may proceed without interruption
Now that the Senate District Sub-commit-
tee and the District Commissioners have a
thorough understanding of the Baltimore
and Ohio Companys plans it is fair to pre-
sumo that the company WILL ere the close
OF this session. be given legislative per-
mission to go ahead with the reform upon
lines satisfactory both to the public and
the railroad.

to know why Mr.. German and his friends
prevent its passage. Enact that into law.
and the situation, he declares, will be
greatly relieved.
1t Is safe to say, and comforting to believe
that. In the end, the people will see this mat
ter In its proper light. The duty Of the
party In power in Congress Is to provide for
the proper support of the government. This
Is as true Of ,ne party as Of another. Any
party raised to power that neglected sc
plain duty would deserve and receive the
swift condemnation OF the people. II the
money Is not in the Treasury, the future
must be drawn against. A government, like
an individual. or corporation, should have
necessary money on hand to me ct all obliga-
lions; but when. for any reason. receipts
temporarily are short the government, the
Individual, or a corporation never negiects
to keep up the value of Investments, or to
provide for proper support. A good credit
Is invoked until the difficulty can be ar
ranged.
In the matter of the governments rev.
enues, 1t is an absoluts certainty that the
next Congress will adjust them to the gov
ernment's needs. This does not depend on
the success of either party at the polls in
November. There Is no dispute over the
proposition that the Wilson bill as it stands
is unequal to the task imposed upon 1t. 1t
does not raise money enough. The demo-
Gratis themselves therefore, if an unexpected
turn in the tide should restore them to
power in Congress, will be obliged to ma
terially strengthen their work row on the
statute books. A new bill to take the place
of the Wilson bill will have to be drafted, to
correct inequalities and deficiencies now as
frankly conceded as freely charged.
If this work falls to the republicans, as
now seems likely, it will be done with a
thoroughness which will leave nothing to be
desired so far as raising money enough is
concerned. A tariff bill, drafted Upon lines
which have heretofore filled the Treasury,
will be promptly passed and enforced and
money enough will be raised by 1t not only
to support the government, but make good
all deficiencies.
1t is most promising future. therefore,
against which this Congress is drawing.
There is no risk whatever about it, nor any
thing that, from business standpoint, calls
for rebuke. Congress would only deserve
censure for failing to do what-under pres
sure, 1t must be admitted-it is now doing.
