The Corpol alton Enterprise paid its
usual respects to the HERALD last week,
and came as near the facts as usual, re.
marking: "By the way, the U. S. made
no new departure in 1878. it just kept
right along in the path it had been tread
ing tor years, and SIMPLY ALLOWED THE
IMMENSE ADDITIONAL PRODUCTION OF ST.
YER TO SEEK IT'S OWN MARKET LEVEL"
According to the statistics published by
the gold-bug committee of the New York
reform club, Vol. H., No. "a, page 457.
the production OF gold for the years
1493-1S70, inclusive, was 27S, S60,326
ounces, and OF silver ) ,497, III, 9l6 ounces,
ratio of to 1915. For the years 1871
1891, inclusive, the production of gold
was 136,GSS. 254 ounces, and OF silver
2,3337 1870, 507 ounces, ratio OF to only
III. Put that in your pipe, Mr.. Cor
poration editor, and smoke it, and tell us
how the law of supply you have been
bowling about accounts for the decrease
in relative value in the face of this de-
crease in production. You have been
challenging the world, suppose you re-
print this and answer it, on the lines OF
production and values, or any other line.

The people in this ncighborhood are
making preparations for a grand celebra-
ton Christmas.
W. II. Jeffries made final proof on his
homestead the first OF last week. George
Harp and Joseph Couch were his wit
nesses.
Ira f.. Lennon got nearly all OF his
logs out of the South Park creek during
the recent high water. The water was
very high last week but no serious
damage was done.
The loggers here on Garrard creek
have about two million feet of fir and
cedar logs ready to turn in the river. but
are waiting something more favorable in
the way OF a market. They claim they
had rather let them rot here in the creek
than to drive them to the larbor and not
get much more than enough to pay the
driving expenses. The loggers here are
crying loud for a county scaler.

Let the Republicans Control

We think it would be great mistake
for the Democrats in the next congress
to place any obstacle in the way OF Re-
publican administration measures, be-
You'd argument and votes. This, Of
course, applies equally to the silver Pop
ulists and the silver Republicans who
supported Bryan. The country has de-
cided in favor Of Republican rule, and
Republican rule it ought to have. This
included the Republican policy on the
tariff. If the Republican financial policy
is obscure or double-faced let the Repub-
lican administration decide what it
means, and which horse it will ride.
II the new president and his supporters
IN congress want to re-enact the Mckin-
ley law, because they think that will
bring prosperity, they should not be
DISTRACTED. Let their panacea be tried.
Let them show the country whether they
can increase revenues by protective du-
ties, which are intended to decrease i'm
ports in the interest OF home manufac-
turers. Let them see if they can so adjust
their increase of duties that the amount
collected on reduced imports will exceed
the present revenues. And il the duties
continue to be mainly paid in silver or
silver certificates, as they are now-fol
the law requires none Of them to be paid
in gold-wc shall see whether, by in.
crca>ing our silver revenues, the gold
reserve can be maintained. We know
that the Republicans believe that by re-
ducing imports they reduce by that
much the European demand on this
country for gold. But We fear they do
not take into account the always ncreas-
ing demand for gold which must 90 out
OF the country for the payment of the
interest on bonds OF corporations, and
the gold which American travellers take
out OF this country to spend Abroad

pen-picturc, mildly as it is drawn, will
90 the heart of every lover of humanity,
the very thought that these wreches are
called by the subsidized press by the
ironical names of "sovereigns' and
kings" is certainly enough to excite the
resiblities OF the most undemonstrative.

by corporations, known as the "thinking

among them that unless checked will

only one way to cure deafness, and that
is by constitutional remedies. Deafness
is caused by an inhamed condition OF the
mucous lining of the Eustachian Tube.
When this tube is nAamed yon have a
rumbling sound or imperfect hearing,
and when it is entirely closed, Deafness
is the result, and unless the infamma-

stored to its normal condition, hearing
will be destroyed forever; nine cases out

Severe colds, or possibly Group, are
prevalent
A. W. Frye has purchased new wind
lass, cable, etc, for his logging camp.
The interest is high over the contest in
the literary society. SO far, honors are
about equally divided.
Lewis Bros. have been compelled to
shut down their shngle mill for few

high water made it difficult for the bolt
men to get the bolts sorted from the logs
and drive them.
Montcsano will soon gain, and Johns

else. HIS wife's mother and sister will
accompany him to Montesano and reside
with him as formerly.
We regret to report the accident that
happened to Mr.. Valentine, one OF the
bolt cutters in the Jim Phillips and
Brown shingle-bolt camp. Mr.. Nalen-
tine was holding small branch with

an AK held in the other, when an I'M
fortunate slip caused the AK to strike one
OF his fingers, completely severing it. He
went to Aberdeen and had his finger
dressed.

The Cubans claim that Maceo and his
staff were murdered in cold blood by the
Spaniards, after being led into an am
buscade under Il flag of truce for the
ostensible purpose Of forming treaty for
ending the war. The Spanish are equal
to such dcvilish act Of treachery, and if
it is true congress should adopt the Mills
resolution and take possession of the
island at once. Spain, of course, denies
it, but the circumstantial evidence is all
against her.

The advocates OF bimetallism have
ample cause for smiling nowadays over
the irritation frequently displayed by
gold standard newspapers in considering
the persistent vitality of Mr.. BRYAN. 1t

had him all worn out and done to death
and speechless over and over again and
finally it was asserted most positively
that defeat would kill him quite dead.
