would buy gold with it. When the stock
of gold becomes exhausted they would
buy wheat, cotton, pork, beef, anything
that can be eaten or drunk or used in
other countries, and in the United
States all the silver in the world would
pile itself up into a gigantic mountain
In other words there would be a elut in
the market with it's inevitable conse-
quences. The price of silver would re-
ceive such blow as it has never had
before, and it's effect on the silver min
ing industry not only of this province
but throughout the world, would be dis
| astrous. Already the shadow of the
storm is making itself felt Private ad-
vices received from the highest finan-
cial authorities in England assert that
1t is absolutely useless to put silver
properties on the market there No one
will touch them. Call them copper
mines II you can, or even lead mines
and there is a chance for them, but if
it once leaks out that they rely for sue
cess upon silver at certain price, it is
all up with them.
AS we have said above, at present
| only the shadow of the evil is over u.s.
the storm may pass and the powerful
sun of good fortune may dissipate the
black clouds of trouble All the best
men in the United States are against
free silver, and they have at their COM
mand power which goes a long way in
the States and elsewhere-money All
the leading bankers and financiers are
on the same side. They are the smart
est men of a clever nation and they see
the pit into which the unheeding peo-
pie of the West are rushing They will
strain every nerve to avert the evil and
| they may be successful
1t may be said that this is a strange
view of the situation for Western pa
per, even a Canadian one to take, but
we firmly believe that it is the right one
for this country. Long before our sill
yer miners can dig out their stores of
metal the market in the States will be
glutted. What avail will it then be to
them to have a fictitious and artificial
value placed on their product if they
can buy nothing with it. They would
be like men wrecked upon a desert
island with nothing saved except the
ships treasure chest. Owing to their
extreme richness our mines can be
worked profitably to-day, when the
price of silver is not high enough to
open all the low grade mines that exist
in various parts Of the world. Para
doxical as it may seem, it is perfectly
true that they do better with silver at
comparatively low than at a high
price.
Against bimetallism itself we have
nothing to say. Indeed we are, and al
ways have been it's earnest supporter
1t is hard to see how any harm could
arise from an international agreement
for a double standard. British Colum-
| bia in common with other silver pro-
ducing countries would undoubtedly
largely benefit by the adoption of such
measure. 1t seems to US, however,
and our opinion is based on that of the
best authorities, that the attempt of
one borrowing nation to force an arti-
fetal currency on all the moneyed ma
tions of the world cannot but end in
disaster.

What was it the Democracy told the
American people about wool in 1892?
Why, that free wool and a sweeping
reduction of the tariff upon manufac-
lures of wool would increase the price
TO the wool grower and open the mar
kets of the world to he American man
ufacturer. We have tried it and what
has been the result? 1t is not neces-
sary to give the answer, for it is in
every intelligent mans mouth the mo-
ment the question IS asked.
That was the same Democracy that
il to-day proposing other vague exper-
iments to the people, and that has set
its sign manual to a platform that one
Of the most distinguished disciples Of
the Democratic party has just de-
nounced as an assault upon the Consti-
tuition and an attack upon republican
institutions and free Government and
Abram S. Hewitt ought to command
the respect of Democrats at least, when
he expresses an opinion on national
matters. When he says that the in
tegrity of the Constitution is the real
issue in this campaign he is not far
away from the truth.
But to return to the original text.
Wool grown in Humboldt County, says
the Eureka STANDARD, in 1892 brought
2212 to 24 cents in the San Francisco
market In 1895, under the Democrat
ic reform Of the tariff it brought 121a
cents, and in 1896 it cannot be sold at
al, and the bulk Of the product to-day
lies in the warehouse Of the metropolis.
And now for the reason. Let the
Standard" a Democratic paper tried
and true, by the way, tell the story:
In 1891 under a protective tariff,
the Importation of foreign wool was
129313, 649 pounds; under free trade
fiscal year 1856, the Importation Of
foreign wool was 253, 81. .473 pounds,
an increase of nearly 100 per cent. If
the American manufacturer had Sc
cured the markets of the world, as the
politicians promised him, for his out
put, the domestic wool might have been
sold at some price, but the result is
that the American manufacturer pay
ing living American wages to his work
ingmen has not only failed TO secure
the worlds market for the output Of his
mills, but has lost the best market in
the world, namely, the American mar
ket, as the following figures show: The
importation of manufactured wooden
goods for the fiscal year of 1S91-92 un-
der protective tariff was $50, ,000, 600
The importation of manufactured wool
en- goods for the fiscal year Of 1895 and
1896 was $57. 900 600, which shows that
the American manufacturer has lost his
home markets to the extent of SOD
1000 in one year. In 1892 the whirl
of $4,000 woolen looms was heard in
the land; to-day 1900 only are run
ring. We do not believe that a ma
jority Of the citizens of Humboldt are
in favor of such a state of affairs nor
win they so express themselves in No
vember.

The "Oregonian" is entirely correct
when it says that II any farmer imag-
ines, as some assert, that the farming
industry is not done upon credit, and
therefore a monetary change will not
AFFECT it, he should be disabused of that
mistake Aside from farm mortgages
and accounts current, farming is now
done upon a credit basis largely, be-
cause the farmer Is dependent upon
others for the handling of his products.
and these agencies, the great trans
porting concerns, and trading houses.
operate upon a credit basis. When a.
crop leaves the producers hands and
becomes security for advances. it rests
upon credit and whatever affects the
credit of the handler will be felt by the
producer. No matter if the corn crop
is sold out of hand for cash to the trader
or transporter, inasmuch as these latter
operate upon a credit basis the deal
with the farmer is affected by it, Where
crops become security for advances, de-
struction or impairment of credit op-
crate to the calling in of the advances
with forced sales. The crops of the
country are all gathered within a few
weeks, but they cannot be marketed in

Notwithstanding the cry of hard
times it is a fact established by incon-
trovertible official statistics that, as
represented by their deposits in savings
and other banks, the people of small
savings are more than 100 per cent. bet
ter off to-day than they were in 1879,
when the Nation resumed specie pay
ment on the basis of gold. To this
showing is to be added the vast increase
in the houses owned by the occupants
as compared to such ownership in 1879,
the increase in population being taken
fully into account.

So high an authority as the British
Medical Journal is quoted for the
charge that arsenic is largely in use in
paper-making for cigarette-smokers
The reason is that clearness, crispness,
slow burning, and yet degree of elas-
ITCHY and strength are secured. Smok-
ers who use such paper are presently
afflicted with cough that soon becomes
chronic, and symptoms resembling
those of consumption early appear. But
really, is there much if any sympathy
to be expended upon such sufferers?
