paedia for 1895, pub
lished by the st.
l. ouls Republic,
shows that at times,
two or three centuries
ago, the production OF
gold as compared TO
silver was as low as
IL and 2 OF gold to IS
OF silver, | mean, Of
course, by weight.
That is. that there
was produced in these
years nearly fifty
times as much silver
by weight as there
was Of gold by
weight.
THE production Of
gold since then has
greatly increased. Ii
ran up until a little
over a century ago
there was a fraction
over 4 parts Of gold
by weight 10 a frac-
ton over IS Of silver
by weight. II sank
gradually down until
in the first decade Of
this century II stood
In the proportion OF
10 Of gold to IS Of sill
yer. Even before the
discoveries Of Califor-
mia and Australia II
began TO increase rel
atively to silver. In
the second decade of
this century II had
risen to 2 Of gold TO
~ OF silver, and II
steadily increased
from that time on
relatively TO silver
until in the half de-
cade from 1856 TO 1860
II stood, relatively 10
silver, as 1874 does TO
SIS. II then began to
decline, until during
the period from lSSS
10 1893 II was a little
over 4 Of gold by
weight to a little over
IS OF silver by weight.

ever, settle the ques-

Currency contracted by DtstrtbutiOn.
ITO accomplish this stupendous miracle
of civilization required money and the
only place from which 1t could at first be
obtained was from the States of the
NeTta. 1t came here as 1t went to the
South, in the form Of loans. and was
brought here by a million emigrants seek
ing new homes. All this, likewise, accom-
plished a currency contraction by distribut-
ing the fixed volume over a wider extent Of
territory and among a greater number OF
people.
zone would naturally suppose that a
greater volume Of money instead Of lesser
volume would be needed TO accomplish
these miracles of restoration Of business
in one section of the country and develop
ment Of new business in the other. But
the statesmen of the Republican party
seemed to think otherwise, because in the
early spring of 1866 an act was passed
authorizing the retirement OF the legal
tender greenbacks and the funding Of other
forms Of paper money into long time inter-
est bearing bonds. Under the operation OF
this law, the paper currency shrank from
nearly a billion Of dollars to less than
sec, 600 in the short space of two years,
when such contraction was PARTIALLY
checked by the. repeal in 1865 of the law
which authorized the destruction of the
! greenback currency. II Is true that the
place OF this money was partially taken
| by the Issuance of national bank notes as
the national banking system became grad
ually developed and extended. But the
volume OF paper money, national bank and
al otner KINDS, has never, i believe, at any
time equaled the amount in existence al
/ the close of the war.

of picturesque localities in differ
ent parts of the islands who can
write we'll, and it might be ex-
pected that they would be glad if
solicited, even as a relief from
the humdrum of their insular
society, to furnish crisp, fresh
and exact descriptions of the
beauties and the peculiarities of
their environments. The foregoing

THE DIRECTORY WAR.

Husted's Hawaiian Directory
for 1896 has been on the BULLE-
TINS table just long enough to af.
ford casual glance at its contents,
Even this brief opportunity, how
ever, suffices to show that all that
had been predicted of the work by
the protector of its rival stands
confirmed. Specifically the book
shows up we'll. 1t has been turn
ed out neatly by one of the first
publishing plants on the Coast.
Yet the evidences Of hot haste in
issuing it, so as to injure the local
enterprise as much as possible,
are apparenta at any turn of page.
The first thing that strikes
the eye, and pals on the
taste, is the reprinting of descrip.
tive and historical matter from
previous issues by Mr.. Husted,
much of which indeed had been
cribbed bodily from former Ha-
waiian directories by other pub
fishers. This part of the work is
of crazy-quilt pattern, showing
most unskilful editing Of its mis-
cellaneous material clipped from
a variety of ancient sources.
Features of Honolulu that have
all but passed away are por-
trayed as if belonging to the
present. There is lack of con-
nection and cohesion in the parts,
minute details that might be in
place in special works, and
poverty of treatment in generali-
cation. Again, in dealing with
special subjects, in what is new
matter, the hand of the catch
penny trickster is strongly in
evidence. For instance, when
Mr.. Hustled was here he of course
learned that coffee raising was
very prevalent subject. There
fore, instead of giving exact in
formation as to the chances
for acquiring coffee land
as the local directory will
do--he INDUCES in the most ex-
travagant assertions of the profits
of the industry. He leaves the
impression that everybody who
has scratched coffee land is OBJ
tanning returns of 125 per cent.
on the Investment, although the
fact is that very few cultivators
comparatively, have realized any
gain whatever from several years
cultivation of ground that has
eaten up their little completeness.
Although the rewards of intelli-
gent investment and effort are
coming nigh our coffee growers,
it is mischievous to send abroad
the impression that the easiest
way to make fortune is to plant
coffee IN Hawaii. The freak of
inserting the names of dead peo-
ple--and, of all, those oflthe wives
of living mems the directory
proper is repeated by Hustled.
"Gone to the Coast" in another
funny personal direction, which,
carried out to the full, would
make q book of itself.
Names unspelled and names in
serted Of people who have left the
country for good, and SO forth,
are only samples of the disadvan-
tages of having directory pub
lished thousands of miles away
by the people who do not know
the country or its inhabitants.

BY the Transit which arriv-
ed on the 4th inst, we re-
ceived 100 Jewel stoves and
ranges Zone large car load)
direct from the factory at
Detroit.
This is our third shipment,
and we find that we have
only a stoves left from our
previous lot.
The excellence of these
stoves has already been
proved by the large sale, but
we will name three points:
First. Long life from the
heavy high grade of iron
which is the same in the Sl2
stove as in the $50 range.
Second. Economy in the
use of fuel.
Third. Quick and even
bakers.
We propose leasing these
stoves on the following terms:
When the stove is delivered
one-third of the price is paid
in cash, and the balance
monthly thereafter in five
equal payments.
1t before the expiration of
the five months, the lessee
wishes to pay off the balance,
he will be entitled to a dis
count Of five per cent. on the
amount unpaid.
If a customer wants to buy
outright, he gets five per cent.

Jewel stoves and ranges

THE NATIONAL PAPER.

last issue contained new pictures,
the writer took the first opportun-
ity of inspecting the paper. 1t
would be an innovation worth
noting il the official advocate of
tourist travel had something new
in the line Of illustrations once in
twelvemonth. The results of
inspection on this occasion, how
ever, are disappointing. Differ
ent photographs of the old favor
ties are copied, perhaps, but the
subjects are "the same old six
pence" The arrival of a steamer,
view of coffee field, etc, scenes
that have been reproduced so
often, If from other negatives, are
so familiar in the way of subjects
as to have become tiresome. IL
the periodical was one looking
chiefly to local patronage for its
support, and standing upon its
intrinsic merits, its character it
inoffensive would not be subject
80 public criticism. But
q large portion of the
expense of publication is
borne by the public treasury, and
the Paradise is expected in return
to make the best possible showing
to the outside world of the attrac-
tions-for pleasure and profit"
of these Hawaiian Islands.
Each number taken by itself
would be a creditable effort in
that direction, but when you take
up several numbers in succession
a sense of monotonous repetition
of subjects, of sameness in the
eclectic descriptions of island
scenery and society, steals upon
the mind. 1t must be confessed,
however, that the present editor
Of the Paradise has made some
improvement in this respect. Miss
Birds painfully ford, if not
frantic, description of the volcano;
Rcllin M. Daggett's poem on Wal
kiki,and Mark Twain's apostrophe
to Hawaii have been left out'for
good many months now, after they
had each done duty in the period
ical about every other issue for
years. Pictures of the two public
buildings, with the wooden mules
in a tramcar in front of one, have
been kindly omitted for some time
back. Yet there has been more
than enough from guide books,
and from commonplace descrip-
tions not generally accurate in
correspondence of visitors to for
eign papers. 1t is doubtful If,
looking at each issue in its turn
of the truly handsomely gotten-up
paper in appearance, one would
be disposed to criticize it of his
own volition. But when unfavor-
able criticism is heard from the
very class that the Paradise is de-
signed to reach, it is time to dis
cuss the contents of the paper
with more minuteness than has
been the custom. A tourist who
has travelled in every quarter of

Even Old Sol himself seems

COMMENTS FROM ABROAD.

Judge Bennett, of The Dalles, will
not decline the democratic nomination
to congress on a free silver platform,
but will make the canvass. The Judge
is an excellent man, and one of ability,
regardless of his free silver views
which hs earnsstly b SLEEVES in and
presents with emphasis and effort.
The people could do worse than elect
Judge Bannett to congress.-E
Oregonian.
Judge Bennett is one Of the leading
lawyers in the state, man of superior
ability and honesty. in full sympathy
and harmony with the great common
masses of the people. He would honor
any position within the gift of the peo-
pie. Mr.. Bennett is highly esteemed
in the sections of the state where he is
known and enjoys an extended practise
in his profession. II he is elected, and
we honestly think he will be, Oregon
will have at least one representative in
congress in whom she will feel pride.
For The good of our state, it is to be
hoped that he may be successful

Mr.. Bennett was put in nomination
because he is better man than Mr..
Ellis in every respect. If the repub-
licans wanted the democrats to support
their man why didn't they put up the
best one they had?-Wasco News.
There is no ADLER man in the second
district than Judge Bennett, of The

All is Not Harmony.

While matters are. being adjusted
between the fishermen and the can.
nerymen at the mouth of the river.
there are still some differences exist
ing between them, and it is evident
that the fish output from that section
will be unusually light this year. The
following from Astoria gives some idea
of Che situation at present.:
If reports received from Ilwaco can
be relied upon. all is not harmony
among the trapmen on that side of the
river. 1t is said that the trapowners
residing at Chinook beach were not
notified of the intention to hold the
mass-meering at Ilwaco, on Friday last.
and that the resolutions passed at that
time do not reflect the sentiment of a
majority of the trappers. The Chinook
men are endeavoring, by every means
in their power, consistent with an
observance of the law, to dissuade from
fishing those of the Baker's bay trap
perI who have started operations, and
it is reported that feeling has been
running high in consequence Com
plratively few of the trapmen have ac-
cepted the 4-cent rate, and these in
clude only those who were forced to
fish because of an inability to get ad-
vances of supplies from Gamers.
