BLAINE ON COINAGE.
An Interesting Quotation From one O

An Interesting Quotation From one of
His Speeches.
James G. Blaite, in speech de-
livered in 1880, said: "On the much
vexed and long mooted question as t,
bimetallic and monometalic standar,
my own views are sufficiently indicated
in the remarks have made. l believ.
the stauggle now gong on in this
country and other countries for b
single gold standard, would, if SUCCESS
full, produce widespread disaster in ano
througho 1T the commercial world.
The destruction of silver as money and
establishing gold as the sole unit of
value must haye ruinous effect on all
forms of property except those invest
inents which yield a fixed return in
money. Those would be enormously
enchanced in value and would gain
disproportionate and unfair advantage
over other forms of property. If a.
the most reliable statistics affirm
there are nearly s7,0OO,SOO,0 900 coin OF
bullion in the world, very equally di.
vided between gold and silver, it is
impossible to strike one without re.
suits which would prove distressing to
millions and utterly disastrous to sers
Of thousands. believe gold and sill
ver coin to be the money of the con-
stitutloa; fGdeed the money of the
American people anterior to the con-
stitution, which the great organic law
recognized as quite independent of
it's own existence, No power was ever
conferred on congress to declare that
either metal should not be money.
Congress has therefore, in my judg-
ment, no power, 10 demonetize either.
If, therefore, silver has been damone-
tized. am in favor of remonetizing it.
If its coinage has been pr ohibited, I am
in favor of ordering it resumed; I am
in favor,of having it enlarged"

day gentleman brought in 32 prairie
chickens, and as they were te npting
morsels of food, they found ready sale.
Nevertheless the party selling them
subjected himself to heavy penalty.
for the law provides that prairie chick

Oct. 18th to Nov. 18th, and the penalty
for violating this provision is fine

Portland game dealers are inducing
hunters to bring them game for ship

of the game law, hence hunters will
find it the safer plan to resist the temp
tation of offering birds for sale until
the proper time shall arrive.

From the Information received at

be condition of crops in eastern Ore
GOA the following statements were
made In the bulletion issued yesterday:
Heading of fLll.sown wheat has com.
nenced in the valleys; the yield de-
lends upon locality and how the
ground was prepared. Some fall-sown
wheat will make 40 bushels to the acre.
while spring-sown will only make from
10 to 20 bushels to the acre; an average
Of 80 bushels for fall-sown is generally
estimated. The wheat is generally in
good condition, and much of it will
make No. l; in Wasco, Gillian and
Morrow counties the grade will in
sections be No. 2. The hot weather
Of the previous week caused the grain
20 shrink some, but it WAS not injured
as was at first thought. Spring-sown
grain is poor in all localities and that

sank to the bottom. When he rose to
the surface he called for help, but his
comrades on board thought he WIS

eight times, and each time would give
q vigorous kick and rise to the surface.
