The agricultural counties of this State were
most emphatic in their command that no more
debt should be incurred, Whitman for instance
voting 399 for and 3,46i against; Walla Walla PIG
for, ,6i6 against; Spokane 47j for, 2.56 against;
Clarke 237 for, l,1U0 against. No command OF
the people could be uttered in more imperative
language. The voters insisted that the business
of this State should be done on the revenue de-
rived, and not on money borrowed.

GOLD AT A PREMIUM.

One of tho Goldbug BugaboOs That Has
No Foundation In Common Sense.
One of the terrors which the near fu-
ture holds for the gentlemen who carry
their entire stock of patriotism in their
individual pockets is that, in the event
Of Bryan's election and the Inaugural
ton Of free coinage, gold may 60 to
premium over silver.
Why this should alright the single
standard advocates is not clear to any
body who has eyes to see the condition
Of the United States at this time. As
gold has gone up in purchasing power
everything else necessarily has gone
down in price. The value Of property,
In fact, has been cut in two within the
past few years. Since, then, gold is al
ready at premium over other oommod
tiles, why should 1t be intolerable to
think of 1t being at q premium over
coined silver also?
Silver bullion measured i'll gold has
not sunk more rapidly than most Of the
great staples measured In the same
metal. Indeed it is q very suggestive
fact that silver has kept close company
with the necessaries of life in the down
ward race. Wheat and silver touched
their lowest point together. Wheat is
as useful to mankind as ever it was, and
its fall in the worlds markets is hot
due to overproduction. Since much
more Of it can now be bought for gold
dollar than formerly, it is obvious that
the gold dollar has gone to thieving
premium over wheat.
The reconciliation of silver will
have the double effect of sending the
price Of silver up and bringing the price
Of gold down until the old relation in
value between the two metals Is re-
stored. It is the honest 100 cent dollar
of bimetallism that the money cornerers
are afraid of, not the SO cent dollar
Of the bogus prophets. Open the minis
to both metals alike and they will meet
on q level Of value at the mint ratio.
The premium which gold now enjoys
over the exchangeable property Of the
United States will be removed by Bry-
ans election, and the establishment Of q
financial system that, being based Oh
both the precious metals instead Of one,
will furnish us with sound money
money as secure against appreciation az
| against depreciation.
In the unstable dollar Of the gold
standard is the harvest Of the money
manipulators. New York Journal.

The "Good Old Times" Pictures DO Not

The "Good Old Times" Pictures DO Not
Stand the Test of Recorded Facts.
A goldbug missionary was stepping
up Farnam street yesterday. He had q
large lot Of pretty pictures under his
arm, and he handed them out to passers-
by. These pictures told in vivid Ian
guage of the wonderful prosperity en-
joyed by the producers during the years
lSS992 inclusive and attributed all
our woes to the fact that the conditions
Of those years have been done away
with. Several Of these pretty pictures
were handed to The World Herald office
boy, and after looking at them he took
down the files and looked at the market
reports. He saw some strange things,
and here are some Of them:
One Of the pretty pictures told how
much the honey producers have lost be-
cause the conditions Of 1SS9-92 have
been done away with. But how about
that? On Nov. 8. 1888. just year be-
fore the beginning Of the good old
times of 1SS9-92." honey was quoted
on the Omaha market at II cents After
the good old times" had been getting
in their work for while honey began
to climb down. On Nov. s, 1899, it
was quoted on the Omaha market at Is
cents. This was decline Of l per cent
during those good old times" tho Re-
publican party gave us.
Then pretty picture Of steam
thrasher, six shocks Of wheat and q
straw stack was examined and the
markets looked up. On Nov. s, 1883,
just year before those good old times
Of 1SS9-92" dawned upon us, wheat
was quoted on the Chicago market at
e1.15. But along came those "good old
times of 1SS9-92" and wheat took q
tumble until OH Nov. 8. 1892, it was
quoted on the Chicago market at n
cents. "Those good old times of 1882
90" saw slump Of 38 per cent in the
price Of wheat, and there are some peo-
pie wondering what kind Of ohump is
engaged around tho Republican head
quarters to deal out those pretty pictures.
Another picture was that Of a big, fat
hen lying on platter all ready to be
carved and eaten, and the legend be-
meath it told Of how the price of it had
been reduced by knocking out "those
good old times Of 1S89-92." But the
market reports say that the picture tells
lie. On Nov. 8. 1883, just one year
before tho dawning Of those good old
times Of 1S69-92," country butter was
quoted at IS cents on the Omaha mar
ket. But along came those good old
times Of 1SS9-92" and took a smash at
the innocent COW and long suffering
patent churn. And on Nov. s. 1892,
right in the middle of those good old
times" country butter was quoted at 10
cents. This was slump Of 10 per cent

This table shows that the average amount OF
money held by the Treasurer during these three
years and half has been two hundred and six
thousand and fourteen dollars.
CANNOT CLAIM IGNORANCE.
How can the Republican party claim ignor-
ance as its excuse?
State Treasurer Bowen in his report of 1894
told the Legislature of the continuous accumu
lations OF large sums of money in his hands,
and that according to existing law it could not
be used towards reducing the State indebted
ness. But the influence of that mysterious
power which had always crippled the Legisla
lature when it came to passing acts beneficial
to the public, had greater weight than the rec
concentrations of the State Treasurer. True, an
act Of the Legislature of 1895 relieved the Treas
ury ffom an overflow of money in the permanent
school fund. As a result on the quarter ending
December 81, 1885, the amount of money on hand
was only S>6,475. But in the meantime other
funds kept on increasing, and on the quarter
ending June 80. 1896, the Treasurer had again OH
hand two hundred and seventeen thousand, six
hundred and three dollars.
AS a further illustration how g. prudently' the
public funds are managed, 1t IL only necessary
to state that the tide land fund has to day sixty
thousand dollars on hand, with absolutely no
provision OF the law how to invest that money.
Thus, the merry game goes on, the State pay
ing interest on over two million dollars, while
some bank Is enjoying the use of S60:0U of state
money.
We again request the President of the First
National tank the Hon. John II. McGraw. to
tell the voters of this state whe Their it is pru
ueut, wise ana patriotic LOT state tnat pays
nearly one hundred and seventy five thousand
dollars a year interest on what it owes, to keep
more than S200.UO0 in cash continuously on hand
and allow some banks to take in the neighbor-
hood of S25. 900 a year profit from the cash SC
kept on hand.
And yet the Republican party when it con.
vcned in Tacoma was as absolutely in posses
sion of all the facts here presented to the voters
as we are to day. These facts are taken from
the public record. Many of the statements here
given are to be found in the reports of the State
officers printed and circulated free

froptery to hold out Its administration Of public

AN inquirer wants to know where
Bryan stands on pensions" The an
swer is best summed up in this para.
grahp from his letter of acceptance ::
L" No nation can afford to be unjust to
its defenders. The care OF those who
have suffered injury in the military
and naval service OF the country is a
sacred duty. A nation which, like the
United States, relies upon voluntary
service rather than upon large stand
ing army, adds to its own security
when it makes generous provision for
those who have risked their lives
in its defense and those who are de-
pendent upon them" Can any
