Tile following is from tie pen o,
a great leader Tong loced, trusted
and honored Jy the Democrats OF
West ISnginia
Free coinage of silver 16 to /
means that any private owner of
silver bullion may bring it to the
minis aud have it coined without
charge into dollars of the pres
ent weight and fineness, which.
of course, would thereafter be
worth as much as, and no more
than. the bullion of which they
were coined, which is now about
fifty cents to the dollar. No
gold would be coined because,
With the bullion necessary ID
coin gold dollar could be
purchased enough silver bullion
to coin Two silver dollars. No
one would use gold dollars to
pay debts which he could pay
with less valuable silver dollars.
The first effect of free silver
wonld be to drive out of.circula-
tion the CPS millions of gold and
to sink all silver and paper
money to the standard of the sill
yer dollar. There would be at
once a shrinkage of our currency
of two thirds of present purch-
asing power or money efficiency.
by the disappearance of over
600 millions of gold and a shrink
age in value of the other 1000
millions to one half its present
value. The first step, then,
would be to contract our cur
rency from 1000 millions to
about 700 millions in purchasing
power. Along with this contrac
ton of course, would come a like
contraction of debts, salaries,
wages, and all past obligations.
There is no country in the world
that could make this sudden
change in its money standard
without plunging headlong into
an indefisite period of panic,
bankruptcy and distress, with
disastrous check to its develop
ment and long idleness to its in
dustries. The hope held out to
debtors that they would be able
to pay in cheaper dollars would
never be realized because they
would be at once pressed for
their debts and in such a disor-
ganization of trade and OF all
business they could not get the
cheaper dollar, and the idea that
free silver would give US a larger
currency wonld not be realized.
if ever, IN the lifetime of the
present generation.
The farmer is urged to SUI port
free silver on the ground that
his products have gone down
with the gold standard and would
rise with the silver standard.
They would not rise as fast. nor
as much. as the things he has to
buy.
Let it not be forgotten, also, as
a matter of history, that for
nearly 25 years before the war
we had a gold standard, aid no
metal money but legal tender in
sums of over i've dollars. This
was the effect of slightly under.

The Pine Valley Murderer.

News was received by the Baker
City Democrat Saturday night Of
the killing of a family named
Mache, father mother and son, at
Pine valley by young man nam
ed Porter on New Years morning
The older Mache, it seems, had
threatened Porter's life and had
been put under bonds to keep the
peace. He and his family were
thereafter forbidden to cross Port
er's farm, but on New Years morn
ing they drove through as usual
and broke down fence. Porter
demonstrated and young Mache,
who was only recently released
from the penitentiary where he
served a term for cattle stealing,
drew revolver and fred three
shots at him. Thereupon Porter,
who was armed with rife, killed
all three. Soon after he surrender
ed himself, and will appear before
the Union county grand jury.
Sympathy is expressed for Port.
er, and some money has been rails
ed to defend him. The Maches
were not liked in Pine valley, and
were always considered hard char
acters.

and therefore when the dogs COM
panions have made a winning he

to eat and warm corner in o sal

it goes hard on the dog In order
to procure his meals the dog is sup
piled with a small piece of money
by 1pe Of his friends and he inn

be doae and not becaused they
wished to escape, for they were all
present and answere to roll call

day night this was repeated. On

was pulled out. As before none
