REMEDY Us, DISEASE.

Gold and silver money, how.
ever satisfactory as a standard ot
value, seem to have failed as a
medium of exchange. The pre-
sent agitation for more money
does not arise from any fanciful
ailment. Our people, and espe-
cially the rural proportion, are
hampered because of a lack OF
means of exchange. This conf
mercial disease is gruesome
reality and there is a demand for
a remedy from our statesmen
whose business it is to prescribe
for political ills.
The people demand money as a
means-not as an end, and do
not care what form it takes, so
it answers the purpose. They
desire a system of exchange that
can be depended upon and that
will not exact too heavy a toll.
It must be sound and equitable.
The majority of believers in free
coinage of silver do not advocate
It because they have any especial
affection for the white metal, out
because its free and unlimited

Deputy Hire Again.

The question of deputy hire
came UP again for consideration at
the last session of the county court
and the action the court took in
the premises last week is meeting
with favorable mention among the
taxpayers. This matter was laid
over from the July meeting, and
among some of the officials it was
thought that the commissioners
might abolish entirely the payment
of deputy hire. Perhaps such ac-
ton might have been taken, but a
communication from Mr.. Waters,
the county clerk, evidently i'm
pressed the court with the idea
that it would be necessary to pro-
vide some additional assistance,
and after rejecting Mr. Waters
proposition, they made an order
providing for the payment of two
deputies for the sheriff during
terms of the circui, court and for
one deputy for the clerk during
sessions of the commissioners and
circuit courts. He is also to be
allowed pay for one deputy in max
ing up the taxrolls. Mr. Waters
proposition to the court was as fol-
lows:
70 the Honorable County Court
of Benton County. State of Ore
gon:
GENTLEMeN:-Believing that a
reduction of official salaries will,
and should, occur at the next ses-
sion of our state legislature, and
i'll order TO equalize the matter o.

Benton county until that time, |
respectfully submit to you for your
consideration the following, towit:
That from and alter this date and
until January lst, 1897, l will agree
to run the said clerks office for the
salary as allowed by law, except in
cases Of emergency, such as during
he terms of the circuit court and
of the county court during trial
cases aud in copying the tax rolls.

County Court Proceedings.

The county court at its August
meeting took step along the line
of economy, which is meeting with
hearty approval among the tax
payers. The matter of deputy
hire came up at the July meeting.
but action in the premises was
postponed for a month. By the
order of the court the regular al
lowance. for deputy hire in the
clerks and sheriff IS offices has been
abolished and hereafter the clerk
will be allowed pay for one deputy
at 50 per day during sessions of
the commissioners and circuit
courts, and also pay at the same
rate for deputy help required in
making up the tax and delinquent
roll; and the sheriff will be allowed
pay for two deputies at $3.50 per
day while the jury is in attendance
upon the circuit court.
In the matter of the Maude road
the clerk was ordered to draw a
warrant in favor OF E. Maude for
500, to REIMBURSE him for the
amount deposited with the court
pending an appeal to the circuit
court in the matter of damages
claimed by G. B. Starr.

coinage has been urged upon
them as furnishing the required
means of exchange. Like man
with the toothache, they are dis
posed to test anything that prom
ises relief even if it srnacks of
quackery.
Free silver advocates promise
that their plan will cure this de-
fciency of circulating medium.
1t is the one and sole remedy
proposed by Mr.. Bryan. If we
deem it inadequate we must
shelve the boy orator and look to
abler physicians. 1t is not mat
ter of personality. Our disease
is not mental affiiction that can
be cured by hypnotism. Magma
tism and rhetoric will not suffice.
We require scientific and philo-
sophical certainty.
Let us look at the arguments
of the free silver advocates and
waive aside all the evil phrophe-
cies of their opponents. What
can free silver accomplish :? We
have at present in the United
States 5000, 900, 900 of gold and
5000, 900, 900 of silver coin.
Double this amount and place it
all in the hands of the farmers;
it would still be insufficient for
them to harvest and store their
crops on a strictly cash basis.
Free silver apostles do not claim
that under free coinage the Uni
ted States would coin more than
$50, 900, 900 a year in silver, OF
about 70 cents per capita. At
this rate, under the most favor
able conditions, we will have to
wait at least IS years before the
remedy begins to operate sensi-
bly,. What must we endure IN
the meantime? Senator Squire
in declaring his new allegiance
to democracy, stated that panic
must necessarily ensue when our
government goes to free coinage.
Bryan himself says "the tempor-
ary effect of free coinage would
be a business crash" The aver
age debtor as he scans his increas-
ing debt account and his decreas-
ing income, will seriously doubt
that this is proper time to en-
ljoy the luxury of another panic.
On the face of it, the free coin
age of silver is but miserable
pretence of a remedy. It means
at best but a arrangement of ou1
lpresent system. Its advocates can
iprotnise us no relief, while its op-
ponents threaten every possible
disaster if free coinage of silver
is adopted. 1t is patent nos
trum heralded with brass bands
and long-haired orators. Our fl
nancial disease is too serious and
complicated to be entrusted to
loud talking fakirs. Let us put
the case in the hands of skillful
and experienced physicians.
Mr.. Bryan as the advocate o.
an inadequate remedy must be
discarded. He has no standing
except such as his advocacy o
free silver gives him. He ha:
earned no reputation as a studen
of economic questions. Hei is al
orator who captures his audienct
by his personality and theatrica
effects. He can eloquently por
tray the existence of the disease
but is not the man to prescribe
the remedy.

MISQU0TATION.

Free silver CAUSE CdilllOl DS
advanced by dishonesty nlisquo-
ting dead patriots. People may
justly argue that true principle
does not need to establish itself
through falsehood. But the free
silver press manufacture speeches
and ascribe their authorship to
departed statesmen. James G.
Blaine has been 1nisquoted as ia
voring independent free and I'M
limited coinage at 1o to I. The
guilty papers publish remodeled
portions of his address and leave
out the essence of it. Mr.. Blaine
in the speech in question held
that:
"To renonetize silver now,
though essential conditions had
not changed, is willfully and
blindly to deceive ourselves. If
our denonetization were the only
cause for the decline in the value
of silver then reconciliation
would be its proper and effectual
cure. But other causes, beyond
our control, have been far more
potentially operative than the
simple fact that congress prohib-
its its further coinage. AS legis-
1ators we are bound to take cog
nizance of these causes" Again
Mr.. Blaine said: eff we coin a
silver dollar of full legal tender
below the current value of the
gold dollar, we are simply OPEN
ing our doors and inviting Eu-
rope to take our gold. With our
gold flowing out from us we shall
be forced to the single silver
standard, and our relations with
the leading commercial countries
of the world would be not only
embarrassed but crippled. What
gain should we make, therefore,
for the circulating medium if on
opening the gate for the silver to
flow in, we open still wider gate
for gold to flow out? 1t is, there
fore, clear that until Europe re-
1nonetizes silver we cannot afford
to coin a dollar as low as 4I2H
grains"
Thos. Jefferson, the founder
and patron saint of democracy,
is another American statesman
whose words have been garbled
to fit the advocacy of the present
free silver idea. The following
from his pen proves that the ele-
1nent of the democratic party
which will hold its convention at
indianapolis, and not the Chica-
go crowd, are the true followers
of Jefferson:
eve are in favor of the coin
age and currency of silver and
gold in our monetary system.
The proportion between the
values of gold and silver is a lner-
camille problem altogether. The
proportions established by law
have varied in different ages and
in different countries. Just prin-
ciples will lead us to disregard
legal proportions altogether, to
enquire into the market price OF
gold in the several countries with
which we shall principally be con-
nected in commerce, and to take
an average from them. A COM
mission should therefore be ap-
pointed to enquire what are the
proportions between the values
of fine gold and fine silver in the
markets of the several countries
with which we are, or probably
may be, connected in commerce,
and what would be proper pro-
portion here, having regard to the
average of their values in those
markets, and to other circum-
stances, and the coinage of gold
and silver at our 1nints should be
at the ratio thus determined"
