The Size of It.

Occasionally we hear of an old sol
dier who is ''clean gon" on free silver.
OF all men, their experience should
be of use to them. in enabling them
to steer clear of that breaker. They
all remember when they were paid in
legal tender greenbacks that were
worth but little over one-third what
gold was. How often we have heard
the old soldiers complainingly assert
that the government should allow
them additional pay, to make up for
the difference between the money
they were paid in and gold. Well,
now, do they want the same kind of
money, or money of equally small value,
to be manufactured, for the purpose
of paying their pensions? If govern
ment is compelled to coin silver at
the ratio of Is to 1, the soldiers would
be compelled to take the money in
payment of their pensions, as well as
the laborer for his work, the mer-
chant for his goods, and the farmer
for his produce. What protest there
was, when the democratic administra-
tion reduced the pensions of thous-
ands of soldiers: and what howl
would go up if all pensions were cut
down one-halI. And yet the soldier
who favOrS free coinage, fayOrS the
payment of his pension in money that
is worth One-half or less than one
half the money he receives now

I'll tell you. my friend, what
think about silver. and it's what the
Republican party thinks about it. L
believe, and the Republican party
thinks. that every dollar, be it gold.
silver or paper should be equal to the
other. The farmer and the laborer,
more than anybody else, wants an
honest dollar. When the farmer sells
a buShel of wheat he must use full
bushel. and when he gets his pay he
demands full dollar-lOO centS--Wm.

Talking about prosperous Mexico
Frank Scott, of lola, has just returned
from Old Mexico. where he has been
for six years as bookkeeper for rail-
roads and for companies. He says the
laborers who built the railroad north
of the City of Mexico got 80 cents a
day. Stone maSonS got 81 cents day.
On farms the common rate of wages
was 81 cents a day, and in each case
the workmen had to board and lodge
themselves. Bear in mind that Mex
lean money won't buy much more
than half what our money would Duy
there. and then think. laborerS of
America. of exchanging your present
condition for free silver Mexico

Having received numerous inquir-
les as to the meaning of free silver
coinage sixteen to one" we publish
the following explanation of the sub
ject: 1t means in practice that six
teen ounces of silver should be held as
worth as much as one ounce of gold.
One ounce of gold, American coin
standard of fineneSS- is, nine
hundred parts of pure gold to one
hundred of alloy-will coin gold dol
lars $3.50. Sixteen ounces of silver,
American coin standard of fineness-
that is, nine hundred parts of pure
silver to one hundred of alloy-at the
rate of 4124 grains to the dollar 1.-THE
weight of the present standard silver
dollar will coin S1S.6Oin silver dollars.
These sixteen ounces of silver can be
bought in the markets of the world
to-day for 1924. There would there
fore, be profit of 1896 on an invest
ment of Sc, 81, being about 81 per cent,
if a holder of silver could take it to
the mint and coin it without charge
into silver dollars. The advocates of
free coinage favor a law that will
allow any holder of silver bullion-or,
in fact silver of any kind las the latter
can readily be melted into bar)-to
have the right to take the same to
any mint of the United States and
convert it into silver coin free of
charge.

ELDER BARLEY.

Two years ago the Republicans OF
Marion county astonished the nation
and themselves 10y putting II united
brethren circuit riding preacher on
the legislative ticket Henry l.. Bark
ley, OF Woodburn. He proved the
most taking and brilliant canvasser
ever before the people OF this county.
lie got the biggest vote on the repre-
sentative ticket out of fifteen candl-
dates.
In the legislature Barkley proved a
worker and a man Of influence. lie
was not on his feet often. He talked
but little. lie was kindly, persuasive
and gentlemanly. Once he started In
TO reply TO Hon. Henry McGlnn, at
one time u prominent man in the
senate. The fire flashed and the fur
flew, as the boys say, but kindly
hand ruled him off the floor,
Barkley made good record In the
Legislature too good TO suit the
bosses. They don't want man TO be
tDo good. They fear the people get Ia
liking him. and that sDoils their busI.
ness. So fight was begun on Bark
ley. In his own precinct II was any.
thing TO down Barkley. But he
organized his friends lntoa bimetalllc
Republican cluband beat the machine
managers two TO one. lie got back
onto the legislative ticket and the
question among them is what are we
going to do with Barkley9

A BROOKS MAN REPLIES.

EDITOR DECENTRALIZATION me space
TO answer Post correspondent from
Brooks under date of April 20. The
correspondent starts out and abuses
the president of the Republican club
and precinct committeeman, (Mr.
Chapman being both because he did
not appoint or name the brother Of
the opposing faction for judge. Now
the truth OF the matter is this: Mr..
Chapman did deliver the resolution as
carried, naming the judges. At the
same time there was a protest handed
In, In writing: 0bjecting to the ac-
knowledged leader of the other fac
tion naming his own brother as one
of the judges. Now, we thought that
a little too cheeky. I'VE thought we
smelt Fraud. The chairman OF the
central committee decided that IL was
right for the different precinct COM
mittee men TO name the judges, an d
Mr.. Chapman to harmonic the two
factions, named two of the judges pro-
posed by the opposing faction, only
leaving of the name of Silas Jones, the
brother OF the man who named the
Judges in the resolutions, and putting
In his place Mr. Shaw. Now this cor
respondent calls two of those Judges
corrupt. II that was possible then
would he not be responsible ? For he
named two Of them, But when you
try to impeach the honesty, the in.
tegrity and the truthfulness of such
men as Il. X. Shaw and A. G. Perkins
the people of Marion county will re-
sent II. will ask the correspond
ent II their names would not stand ms
a shining light, beside the name of
Silas jones' the proposed judge for
honesty, truth and yeacity.
In regard TO precinct lines the
correspondent says Mr.. Ehlen gave to
h, j. Bolter the precinct lines as
recorded in 1894. Now the fact of the
case is there was no change in 1894. |
lie also states that Mr.. Ehlen gave
him the true lines of Brooks precinct. |
Now, Mr.. Ehlen never claimed he
gave Boltsr the true aud lawful
lines of Labish precinct. Mr.. Ehlen
did not certify that he gave you a

long this contraction for IN indefinite
period. He knows that. II he borrows
your dollars now, he will tunder the
gold standard) inevitably have to pay
Your correspondent says the same
line OF fraud has been carried out by
N majority of ths legislative nominees
Of the Republican ticket, In fact he
thinks Brooks IL going to beat the
whole Republican ticket, and he tries
TO Justify himself In turning Chap.
man out OF the Republican club and
declaring the Office Of president va
cant. Now will tell the voters OF
Marion county, why they turned him
out, they wanted to clear the way to
turn the club over into the hands OF
the Populists, and If Chapman had
been president last Saturday evening
when prominent Populist Of Howell
Prairie, and the Democratic candi-
date for sheriff had been Invited to
attend the club and address it (which
/ am told they did | tell you there
would have been war in that club, for
| claim Chapman is true Republican
and man who has faced death in de-
fense of his country, would not have
tolerated such conduct as that. Who
ever heard Of Republican club be-
fore in iting the opposing candidates
TO attend their meeting to devise
some plan to beat their ticket. l
think the state league ought to turn
Brooks league out Of the compact for
such treachery. l am member of
said club. but will withdraw my
name at the earliest opportunity for !
am ashamed of such conduct. Your
correspondent tells of Judas selling
himself for thirty pieces Of silver; the
act of Judas was nothing compared
to this work. Your correspondent
winds up by abusing the Republican
ticket, and says he Is high protec-
tive tariff and sound money Republic
can, but ] don't think he is anything.
A man who will call hls'neighbors cor
rupt, abuse the county convention,
and the candidates without any cause
whatever, and then has not the man
hood to sign his name to these allega-
tlons, is worse than the Judas he
speaks OF.
If your correspondent would have
succeeded In getting on the ticket
there would have been no kick com
ing from mm then. When / have
any charges or accusations to make
against any one | always sign my
name.

A PHILISTINE.

There are all sorts of people in the
world now. 1t is growing worse in
this respect. There used to be only
intidelS, Christians and statesmen.
Now there are cyclists, Populists, nll-
hees and Philistines.
In all ages men have been discovered
who bear the marks of Philistinlsm.
So TO be "A Philistine is not the latest
intellectual fad. Phllistines are sup
posed TO be in literary matters OF to-
day what the bootblack world term
Il "hot dog"
II Philistines have been discovered
in our midst they should at once be
pointed out, carefully separated from
infected portions of the community,
and fumigated. Anything new like
that gives conservative people the
horrors. One thing about the Philis-
tine-he does not propagate, as DIR.
Driver would say, He does not or
ganize into societies. He goes it
alone.

correct copy os thc lines Of Lahlst
J precinct as recorded in the proceed
iDgs Of the county OF Marion In tht
relocation of the precincts. The book
that Mr.. Ehlen got your record out OF
states that the changes you claim
were made at a January term OF
county court In 1892. But when you
search the county court records you
find Il Is a lie, II Is false. No such
record appearing therein But the
lines We claim are recorded In the
proceedings of the county court OF
Marion county and in the county
courts name. Has anybody ever certi
fed to the correctness Of this book
where you get your lines No, they
dare not do IL for they would certify
TO lie. ] don't claim the other
precincts are not correct. The job
Is In Lablsh precinct. Furthermore
the lines claimed by the opposition
conflict with Gervais precinct, ours
conform to IT.. You dare not dispute
IT,
Mr.. Watson says there was never
anything before the county court In
January 1892 to change the lines be-
tween Labish and Gervais precincts,
the correspondent says he heard a
man say that there were only four
Democrats left in the precinct, so
much the better; let the good work go
on. We found the Democrats and
Populists you converted two years ago
stuck to the Republicans so we'll, we
thought that we would try our hand
at IL, and those we converted will
make better Republicans than your
correspondent, for you will find them
voting for T.. w. Chapman and the
balance of the ticket. You did not
hear the Mission Bottom crowd when
they were beat by those false precinct
lines two years ago, go bowling around
the county trying to beat the ticket
because we were beat, no, there was
more manhood about us, we put our
shoulder to the wheel TO help the good
cause along. Your correspondent
gives the delegates Of the county con-
ventiOn slap as being corrupt (as he
claims we are and he says he thinks
they are of the same kind, for they
rewarded Il. w. Chapman with "A
nomination on the ticket. Four years
ago when he was on their side, he was
a good man, SO they said, we did not
dispute. They placed him in nomlna-
tion before the county convention he
thinks If he was an honest man then
he is now, which ! know him TO be.
you in dollars that have appreciated
to an unknown extent. He knows
that the present course of events is |
forcing the borrower to practically |
pay about 20 per cent year for the
use OF money, which no legitimate
business can stand. So your neigh
Dor, having common horse sense, re-
frains from borrowing your dollars.
If the gold fanatics could only stop
their fetlch-worshlp long enough TO
let Il few OF these facts percolate
through their so-called intellects, they
would get clearer view of the situa-
tion. If the rank and file of the gold
forces could only throw aside their
prejudices and catch-word notions for
Il while, and read even the goldbug
organs with critical and discerning
eyes, they would soon see that there is
radically and fundamen-
tally wrong-that the whole rotten
ediiice of goldbug philosophy is
builded on the sand.

THE BOND AND TARIFF BILLS.

PROBABLE FATE OF THE TWO MEASURES IN THE

Washington Jan. 1.-The Stite Committee on
Finance will hold It's first meeting since Teor-

ton may not be taken on either the Bond or

members Of the committee will urge speedy action
and If possible, immediate report. The best
Judgment on the situation indicates that the Bond
bill will be destroyed In committee and a substi-
tutc in the shape of free coinage bill reported
Nothing short of this Will satisfy the silver men
on the committee. and as they have eight votes 20
five against silver. any measure they agree upon
can be easily adopted in committee. Mr.. Wolcott

Committee has not been in Washington this win
