BI-METALLISM.

The Evening News, in an editorial yes
terday. quotes from the New York World
giving the amounts OF gold and silver in
the principal countries, which shows hat
the United States carries a larger pro-
portion Of silver than any nation which
uses gold at all.
But the News claims that France is the
only bi-metaIiic country, the banks there
paying silver, II they prefer to do so,
whether the customer wants II or not.
l have not been in France lately. but 1
do not imagine they would force me to
take all silver u I preferred gold or part
gold. in case l had dealings with them.
France and the United States are as
near bi-metallic nations as there can
be, but they are in reality gold standard
nations.
II the le to 1 people could carry out
their schemes in either country. It would
soon go to a silver standard. What the
result would be II all the principal ma
tons should adopt free coinage is more
than any man Fan tell. but they will not
do II, so IL Is useless to discuss that
point. As the conditions are at this time,
/ cannot see what advantage the poor
or laboring man would gain by such a
step; and l consider the idea that the
gold standard system is in favor OF the
wealthy as against the poor class is
one Of the greatest fallacies that can be
imagined.
The same people who, by their business
methods or their industry md economy,
became possessed Of gold, would likewise
get the silver. II turnips and potatoes
were the only things Of value or me-
diums of exchange, there would be found
many who were always short Of turnips
and potatoes: while others would man
age to get more than they could stow
in their cellars. Such has been the his
tory Of the world, and so will II continue
TO he at least until the majority Of men
became capable OF managing their af-
fairs better.
It Is folly to attempt to improve mat
tiers by the passage Of a law, which shall
say 81 cents worth Of silver is one dol
lar 400 cents.
As well take 10 cents worth Of nickle
and call 1t a dollar. It IS this plain
fact that makes one think the IS to ]
advocates would be only TOO willing to
substitute the nickle, or paper, instead
Of the nickle. In other words they are
fiat money people, but as no honest bus
mess man advocates that doctrine now,

A Sound Money Democrat Has Heard
Something Against Them.

Astoria. oregon. April q. 1875
Editor Astorian:-
l was highly pleased yesterday TO hear
OF the adoption OF n sound money plank
by the Republican convention. but l was
sorely disappointed today TO learn that
the plank was adopted to catch sound
money votes. while the legislative candl-
dates are said TO be pledged to support
a free silver mar for United States SEN
ator (this TO catch the free silver vote).
sincerely hope hat today's reports are
untrue.
| know Of at least is sound money
Democrats who will cheerfully support
Messrs. McGregor and Parker IL these
gentlemen will frankly and openly pledge
themselves to support no nan for the
United States n who is In the least
degro inclined TO favor the free and un-
limited coinage OF silver.
We are for soun money because WI
believe II TO be for the nest interests OF
our country ard We are ready TO support
men on any ticket who conform TO our
principles on the vital lssueot money but
we do not want to be fooled before cleo
tion and laughed at after election.
Let Messrs. McGregor and Parker de-
clare themselves and show themselves
worthy OF the support III all reasonable
men regardless Of party.
Country first. party last.
Yours for Principle.

THE COLUMBIA RIVER WAR. .

The fear aroused by the senatorial dis
patches from Astoria that there might be
war between the state Of Washington
and the United States is set at rest.
The seat Of war is so situated that the
news comes in a very roundabout way;
and while it was inferred that the
trouble was nothing like 30 serious MS
reported, 1t could not be ascertained at
first Just what the difficulty really was.
At worst 1t looked as il a subordinate
officer might have carried out orders a
little too peremptorily, but the statement
Of Bugler Lindsey shows that not only
was there no Ill feeling manifested by
the regular troops toward the militia;
and not only was IT untrue that they
we're aroused at midnight and given only
twenty minutes to withdraw from Sand
island, or threatened With extreme pun
fshment by being sent to Oregon, but
that on the contrary the Utmost courtesy
and good feeling prevailed.
The dispatch from Washington city
gives a manifestly correct account or
the affair and the result is likely to be
very beneficial. Necessary as the pres
euee of the National Guard seemed to
be for the protection Of Washington
fishermen, there is no doubt that its APP
peararce on the scene would provoke
en- antagonism, as representing only the

Boston, Nov. IL. The case OF Thomas
Bran, charged with the murder OF Cap
tain Nash, the captains wife and the
second mate OF the bark Herbert Fuller
on the high seas last July, came up IN
the United States court today before
Judge Colt. There was large nun tor
Of spectators in attendance and IL was
underst ood that Bran would plead TO
two indictments found against him by

however, asked for a continuance on the
ground that certain preliminary pleas
had been filed last night by the counsel
for the defence, which he had not had
Iime TO look into. Tho PLEAS were TOR
the abatement OF proceedings. and there
also was supplementary plea as to the
question OF the jurisdiction OF United

were also iiled in regard To something
that tfsnspired while the grand jury was
sitting 10 court. Under the clrcum-
stances, Judge Colt ordered tho case CEN
