How viii They Get It?

Silverites reply to the proof that there
is far more money now in this country
than at any previous period in our his.
tory by saying: "The money is oil
locked up in the banks. We want FREQ
silver so the people will have the mon.
ey." But they never explain how free
coinage, under which the silver mine
owners would take their bullion to the
mint and get back coined dollars, would
put those dollars in the pockets Of the
people, or how it would keep them out
of the banks if their owners chose to de-
post them. The fact that we have near
" FIVE times as much money per capita
as Mexico, free silver country, should
lead the believers in free coinage to
think little about the probable results
IF their scheme.

COUNTY, STATE and GENERAL,
COUNTY HAPPENINGS.
FROM WESTPORT.


Frank Thompson is in Aberdeen this
week.
Mr.. Finley has built nice picket fence
along the front of his yard.
Gus Stration has built corral TO hold
his wild cattle, and is dehorning them.
The continued rain for the last few
days has stopped all building activity in
this burg.
good, substantial fence has been
built around the q. A. X. grounds, and
large gate ut the entrance.
Rev. Dr. Thompson, OF Aberdeen. was
here last Thursday and conducted services
and held business meeting in the Pres
byterian church, when new officers were
elected and tho churc', put in rum ng
order for another year.
MIR. Shamley's youngest son was bitten
quite severely in the face and on his leg
a few days ago by dog. DR.. Hurdman
dressed the wounds, and no serious re-
suits are anticipated. The dog will bite
no more; his body noA lies beneath the
sod.
Mrs. Finley occupied the pulpit at the
Presbyterian church last Sunday, and
delivered a very interesting sermon. She
is an eloquent speaker, was thoroughly
conversant with her subject, and CON-
manded the close attention OF the large
congregation throughout the entire SER
mon. Her subject was taken from
Psalms 107 1924. We all consider our
selves fortunate in having lady amongst
US with the ability and attachments pos
sessed by Mrs. Finley.

SILVER AND PRICES,
Commodities Have Fallen Twenty Per Cen.
Silver Has Reduced One-llalf.

Silver Has Reduced One-llalf
In his speech at Gainesville, Ga, OF
July 23, the Hon. Holle Smith said:
The claim, therefore, that the money
Of final payment has been reduced one
half, thereby depriving the public of q
sufficient volume, is simply groundless
We still use gold and silver both ant
have more than we ever had prior tC
the passage Of the act Of 1878. The
claim also that the currency has con
tracted, thereby approaching the value
Of gold, is shown to be false by the
enormous output of gold last year. II
was tho largest in. the worlds history
and amounted to 1881, 100000. The
worlds coinage Of gold in 1898 rose tc
$3.50, 1856, 900, and that Of silver tx
$135, $4,000, making the largest year
ly coinage in the worlds history, with
possibly one exception. The worlds
stock in full legal tender, gold and sill.
yer, today is, by the largest statistics,
SS,965, 900, 900 gold and So, 435, 800, 00o
silver, and it must not be forgotten that
even though the gold standard may be
in force, the silver coined furnishes
money for final redemption to relieve
the pressure upon gold, just as if it had
been coined upon free coinage plan.
The claim that gold has appreciated,
thereby depreciating the value of prod
ucts, is based upon the theory that the
decrease in the value Of silver and in
the value Of products has been contem-
OOranoO1c Oorof1,1 i,,a inv, ~
she facts shows this not to be true. The
average decrease of commodities since
1873 has been about 20 per cent. The
heaviest decline has been in the line OF
those things which the masses Of the
people buy All these reductions in
prices are partly attributed to lessened
cost Of production and partly to the re-
cent panic. While the commodities have
fallen 20 per cent silver has fallen 80
per cent.
But to consider particular articles: In
1878 corn sold for Al cents bushel; sill
yer was worth $1.31 an ounce. In 1896
corn sold for SO cents silver was worth
81 cents an ounce. Silver had fallen so
per cent and corn had risen rs per cent.
In 1878 wheat was worth SLIT bush
oil; silver was $1.31 an ounce. In 1878
wheat was $1.34 q bushel; silver was
$1.15 an ounce. In 1880 wheat was 90
cents; silver $1.04. In 1896 wheat was
IS cents bushel; silver 67 cents IN
ounce.
Cotton. This is the production in
which our people are directly interested.
The claim that the value OF cotton dc.
pended upon the rise or fall of silver
has been shown to be without founda.
tioa this year. Cotton in the last four
months has risen 30 per cent; silver q
per cent. Prior to 1878 the price Of cot
ton varied from to 40 cents. Silver
never fell below $1.29. In 1916 cotton
sold for cents. Silver was then 81. 81
an ounce.

RIGHTS OF PROPERTY.
The Spirit Of Free Coinage Is Essentially
Socialistic In Its Tendencies.

1t cannot be denied that the spirit Of
much Of the free coinage literature is
distinctly opposed to those rights Of
property which are at the bottom Of our
whole social system. 1t is not needful
to dwell on the fact that human prog.
ress is only possible when the producers
Of wealth are protected in the possess
sion Of all they create. The examples Of
those countries where property is inse-
cure is sufficient proof that the enjoy
ment of property is the first requisite Of
civilization.
Various schools Of agitators, such as
the socialists, communists and anarch-
lists, are seeking to abolish the institu-
tion Of private property. In the cheap
money agitation which is sweeping over
the country we find the essential ideas
Of the socialists, etc., in another form.
There are in this country large num-
Der Of people who have saved q little
money, which they have loaned out to
others. The advocates Of free silver
boldly claim that the result Of the adop-
ton Of their money scheme would be to
take from all creditors one-half Of their
property by enabling debtors to repay
their loans with dollars worth half as
much as Of those borrowed. This is
nothing less than proposition to take
the property Of those who have saved
money and invested it, and to give it to
those who have borrowed, or, in other
words, the confiscation by law Of one
half Of all tho loans Of the country.
When the farmer and workingmen un.
derstand that this is the real object Of
the free coinage agitation, will they
continue to favor the attack on private
property?

From CosmopOlis Enterprise:
Prof. Cheney has closed a successful
term OF school at Satsop, and soon will
begin teaching in the Neuskah valley.
1t is now thought that there will he no
opposition to the read to the Neuskah
valley as il has been laid out by the
county surveyor. We are inclined to
think that the opposition was caused by
a misunderstanding on the part OF a
property owner who does not reside upon
the land in question, as to the exact lay
OF the land. A personal inspection OF the
proposed route will, no doubt, result in
the remonstrance being withdrawn.

The proposition is to take off all linn

question, therefore, is, What effect

gold? Would free coinage give it an ex-
Manageable value equal to our present
dollar in the markets Of the world? If
tho value of silver is not doubled by free
coinage, then the exchangeable value Of
our new silver dollar must drop to the
lctual value Of the silver put into it.

would become the standard measure Of

When the act Of 1899 was passed, JEFF
eerson and Hamilton both determined
to make the new gold and silver dollar
equal in value to the then standard Of
measurement, which was dollar equal
to 24A grains Of gold. They recognized
the fact that the exchangeable value Of
coined dollar must be controlled by
the commercial value Of the bullion put
upon it. Therefore they undertook to
find how many grains Of silver uncoined
were commercially equal in value to
24A grains of gold. They decided that
1t required Is times as many and null
tiplying 24A by 10 placed 37115 grains
Of silver in dollar.
This undervalued gold. For the first
few years, owing largely to the lack Of
quick international communication, it
