We are glad to give space to the above
! communication, because Mr. Lee is honest
in his views and acting in good faith, and
a reply in these columns may reach Others
who have the same erroneous ideas. In
the first place, the silver men want the
silver dollar legal tender ioi all debts,
both public and private, without the
right to specify gold in the contract. In
this respect Mr.. Lee appears to be gold
bug. We are inclined to think the silver
men have just cause to object to the
creditor having the right to specify gold
in his contract, or to discriminate in any
way against any Of the money issued by
the government.
We will concede that il silver is adj
United to free coinage at 16 to the silver
dollar will be the unit OF value, for gold
will 60 out Of circulation just as it did
when silver was overvalued and coined at
the ratio OF Is to in the early part OF
the century. We also concede that the
silver bullion would have, IS lie says,
the same purchasing power as when
coined, and OF course no more when
coined than as bullion, and that the sill.
yer dollar would be used as money at its
commercial value, for then the dollar
would be only worth its commercial
value. But you could buy no more silk
in China, for instance, with an ounce of
silver than you can today, nor any more
wheat in the Palouse region, either. The
wheat might appear to be worth more
cents per bushel and the silver more cents
per ounce, but it would require just the
same number Of grains Of silver to buy a
bushel of wheat or yard OF silk as it
does now,
AS to gold circulating at it's CONNER
cial value: if any was to be obtained that
is the only way it could be had, and it
would take about thirty ounces OF silver
to get one Of gold, just as it does now.
The legislation OF the United States can
not fix a yalue-that is done By the law

II the free silver men were willing TO
admit the two metals to coinage at their
commercial values we would not be I'M
willing to subscribe to the idea, would in
fact favor it; but with the commercial
value about 80 to and the free silver
men clamoring for coinage at Is to we
cannot see the justice in it. 1t is as UNI
just to gold as the closing OF the minis
entirely to silver is to silver. Ii the law
were repealed authorizing the making Of
gold contracts, and silver were admitted
TO coinage at its bullioH value, we be-
lieve all the just demands OF the silver
men would be met, and that is all there

a call has been issued for meeting OF
bimetallists to be held IN Tacoma, June
80. The call is signed by Thomas O'Neil,
Chas. II. Aver and Alexander Parker,
presidents OF the Bimetallic clubs OF Shell

our views as to what course OF action the
bimctallists OF this state should adopt at
this time. We would suggest that they
wait unit. after the Democratic national
convention; perhaps tina. will furnish
broad enough plank for them all to get
upon.

The walk-out at the Republican con.
vention, headed by Teller, Dubois and
Cannon, came off according to program,
twenty others following the leaders. Be-
fore leaving Teller addressed the conven-
ton and Dubois read a declaration Of
principles. The rest OF the silver men in
the convention will doubtless cooperate
with these, and re-enforcements may be
expected from all quarters. A telegram
endorsing their action, and pledging the
state OF Washington, was sent from Spo-
kane, signed by George Turner, W. c.
Jones and other prominent Republicans.
The attitude OF the "strikers" will be a
waiting one, pending the action of the
conventions yet to be held.

BiInetallists, to say nothing Of silver
Republicans, will not relish the idea OF
Mckinley yoked up with a single gold
standard. Reed and gold would have
made more suitable team. Reed is an
out-and'out gold man; Mckinley has
bimetallic sentiments. Still, he is now
yoked with gold and, in the event Of his
election, without promised relief for the
unemployed and the debtor class, there
will certainly be clash and camor be.

CoPALIs, Wash, June 20, 1896.
EDITOR ABERDEEN HERALD:
In the HERALD OF June llth there
appeared an editorial headed ''Whitler
Drifting?" in which it seems to me that
you are straining at a gnat while en-
deavoring to swallow i camel. Now.
let's see what this l6 to idea, as YOU
term it, really does mean: 1t means
that any owner Of silver bullion OF a GER
tain fineness can take it to the govern
ment mint and have it coined, free OF
charge, into standard silver dollars con-
tanning 4l2i. grains Of silver each, and
that such dollars shall be legal tender for
all debts, both public and private, unless
otherwise specified in the contract, and
that such dollars would be the unit OF
value in this country. 1t means there
would be no fiat; the silver would have
the same purchasing or bt-pay:ng
power uncoined as it would coined. no
more, no less. Our silver dollars would
be used as money at their commercial
value, and our gold would be used the
same way, at its commercial value, what
ever that might be. Now, | can't see
anything wrong with such a system as
that, and this is the only kind OF money
which will circulate freely OF course,
under our present system we manage TO
circulate quite lot Of silver dollars a. a
fictitious value, but l say If they We're
not absolutely necessary for, change they
wouldn't circulate at all This Is to
idea also means that gold and silver shall
be used as money at their commercial
value, and this is the system, If adopted,
you call on God to save the country.
If am wrong in this l want to know
it. I have been studying this money
question for a good many years, and have
read the arguments Of the ablest finan-
ciers We have, especially the gold stand
ard advocates. don't expect to be able
to convert you to the silver cause, but it
does seem to me that il you fellows had
such an awful strong point YOU would
stick closer to the facts than you do.
Hoping your voice and vote will be on
the right side at Chicago, I am yours
very truly, JAMES c. LEE.

Singular Clocks.

IN an answer to correspondent
who asks "V hat is the most curious
material out Of which a timepece has
been made" London journal prints
the following rather interesting item.
Bread. We think. is the most curious
material out OF which a clock has ever
been constructed There was. and may
still be. in Milan q clock made Of bread.
The maker was a native OF Milan, who
devoted three years of his time TO the
task. lie AZ very poor. and being with
out means TO purchase the necessary
metal for the making of a cock. he
sat sDart regularly a portion Of his bread
each day. eating the crust and saving
the soft part TO soidify this he made
use Of a certain salt, and when the
various pieces were dry they became
perfectly hard and insolube In wafer.
The clock was Of good size. and kept fair
time.
Another strange clock was exhibited
some years ago i'm Liverpool. 1t was
constructed Of pins. buttons and all sorts
Of odds and ends by a pauper named
Mercer. The maker Of this extraordinary
timcpiece thus describes II himself: The
back and the front OF The cock were
made from iron bed-laths. while the
barrel was part Of a large brass ferule.
the ends being brass b.ttons hammered
out. The barrel arbor had originally
been the blade OF n shoe-makers awl;
the main and several other wheels were
nothing more nor less than suspende-
buttons from the makers own trousers,
while the cog-tecth were portions OF
bygone knitting-needies. The teeth Of
the centre whee.s had been boot-rivets.
In the dial there were one hundred
separate pieces.
