MIR. JOHNSON FOR GOLD.

Mr.. johnson, the Southern Pacific
station agent at Jefferson, is highly
consistent, In one respect, In advocat-
Ing the single gold standard. Nearly
all our great corporations are under
the control of foreign bondholders,
The Southern Pacific Is notably con-
troled by German capitalists, inter
ested In securing dividends In gold
and interest In gold.
These great corporations expect
every employe 10 vote for the single
gold standard, because they want a
declaration OF the people at the polls
20 put the whole power Of the govern
ment behind the gold standard 10 en-
rich these foreign bondholders.
Mr.. Johnson alone does the station
work, day and night, that two men
should be employed 10 do, He gets
big pay for II and his pay will buy n
great deal of the products OF the farm.
Mr.. johnson knows that the advo-
catesof free coinage, under the leader
ship of Mr.. Bryan, are also the advo-
Gates Of government control and
ownership OF these Pacific rail-
roads, now In the hands OF foreigners.
These foreign owners are not Ameri.
cans. They are interested In cutting
down American laborers and they
show IL by making Mr. Johnson do
two mems work and by dlsplacing as
many white men as possible with
allen coolies for section men and
track builders. Mr.. johnson Is sim
ply echoIng the policyof the European
bondholders OF this corporation and
is consistent ia advocating the gold
standard. But what is good for Mr.,
johnson Is bad for his neighbors.

WHERE DOES MR.. FORD
STAND?

These are days when every public
man is asked 10 take stand on the
money question, for or against bl'
metallism, that is free coinage OF gold
and silver on equal terms at law. The
gold standard leaders are counting on
Mr.. Ford as a gold standard advocate.
They say that as a man Of wealth and
as moneyed man he is naturally with
them and has given them assurances
TO that effect. Yet 1t is well known
that on the sstreets and In conyer-
satlon with clients and people who
yet loans OF him, Mr.. Ford speaks Ia
contempt Of the single gold standard
and says free coinage will not prevent
him from making good loans, and
that he will take silver dollars or any
kind Of dollars on interest and prlncl-
pal Yet he is no doubt careful to
make gold loans only.
IL Is we'll known that Mr. Ford In
the legislature made a record for free
coinage. In his private convictions
he has always expressed himself as a
friend OF silver lie was defeated for
n nomination as congressional candl-
date because he would not take firm
enough stand for sound money. What
votes he did get were got without
taking an explicit stand on the ques-
tIon. He did not commit himself In
the campaign on the subject.
For man OF ability and usually of
positive views we incline to the
opinion that Mr.. Ford owes II to the
public that has always trusted and
honored him TO come out and take a
stand for or against the gold standard.
IL may be hard for man Of wealth to
do this, but Mr.. Ford Is gentleman
who has never oppressed anyone who
was In debt to him, aud he will not be
afraid on that score To take a stand.
He Is not suffering under the incubus
OF being chronic office holder. He
can state his views without the fear
Of losing an ofiice. The people In these
trying times want to know where
every man stands and the speech OF
Mr.. Ford will be read with interest by
persons on both sides OF the subject.

telligent physician in some arrangement
of the complicated and delicate feminine
organs Of generation. The woman who
half understands herself, feels that she
cannot always be complaining; she can
not always have the doctor in the house.
The young girl suffers, bodily and men,
tally, in silence. The trouble usually
comes so gradually il Is attributed to
some outside cause. There is undue
WEAKNESS, Unexpected pain, unreason-
able tears and fits of temper. All these
symptoms are simply protests of the
silent, long-sufering nerves. The trouble
shows in dark circles below the eyes, a
downward curve of the mouth, a saliow,
brownish-yellow neck.
Unregarded, the trouble grows. A
few years Of tortured invalidism, probably
insanity, before merciful death comes.

SALEM, Or, Aug. !, 1896.
EDITOR JoURNAL:-I overheard the
following dialogue a few days ago;
MrGoldsmith-Say Mr.. Silverstone,
If you can show me how under free
coinage the working people can get
any more money than they now have,
l shall vote for Bryan,
Mr.. Silyerstone-Well, Mr. Gold
smith, / must ask you few questions
first. win the bullion owner have
his bullion coined into dollars!
G-Certainly, all the bullion will be
Immediately presented to the mints
and as fast as the capacity of the
mints will allow the fifty cent dol
lars will be shoveled out.
S-What do you think the bullion
man who is now silver dollar man
will do with his dollars? Do you
think he will pay the mintage
charges and then warehouse his
money?
G-No, he would be a fool TO do
that, because II would be better busi-
ness to save the price Of mintage and
carriage to and from the mint until
he was ready to use the money.
S-Very we'll then you admit that
he will put his money to work in
some manner?
G-Yes think he would.
S-Then he must either loan IL to
his neighbor who will Immediately
put IL TO work or do the same thing
directly himself?
G-But will the worklngman get
any of IL, that is, what | want to
know?
S-Why don't you see, that money
can not work of itself. 1t is like a
plow. The plow has neither intelli-
gence, motion nor power Of any kind;
neither has a dollar, both are dead in
ert matter, and to be useful must be
operated upon, and neither can be
operated upon without an application
of power guided by intelligence.
This intelligence is not found any
where in the universe except in the
brain OF man.
G-Do you mean that money cannot
be turned over without hiring some
intelligent being to turn it over?
S-That is exactly what l mean;
every movement In money is per-
formed by effort and that effort is OBJ
tained by the employment of labor
and no man can use or employ money
employing labor or paying
for labor previously employed.
Everything we eat, wear or enjoy,
must be produced by labor, and the
silver owner can no more use his

JoHNsON's SALARY.
Salem, Aug. :.
ED. JoURNAL:-Mr. S. Il. Johnson
asked II he would be benefited by the
free coinage of silver, while on salary
Of $40. per month. C.B.MoOres in the
Statesman" predicted "that S. T.
Johnson would never get a direct or
satisfactory answer"
w. r. Rigdon in "the Journal" an
swered the question squarely. He
gave Mr.. Johnson to understand
that on a fixed salary free coinage
would not help him. For under the
suspension Of free coinage, everything
that johnson consumes would cost
him more than IL would under the
contracting influence Of single gold
standard where Mr.. Johnson's labor
through fixed salary would be con-
tlnually buying more and more OF the
products OF the labor OF Others. But
Mr.. RigdOn's criticlzers land he has
seyeraD grow warm, when Mr. Rigdon
presumes TO consider Mr.. Johnson in
Il broader sense than simply an eye
surrounded by only its own flesh and
blood. For "nO man loycth to him-
self" Rom. l4-7. A complete person
must be reckoned as having relations,
friends and neighbors, where happiness
depends more or less on the happiness
of this person, while this same PERSONS
welfare depends In the same degree
upon the welfare Of this same rela-
tions frlends,and neighbors.
In this wider view Mr.. Rigdon con-
slders that Mr.. Johnson would be
benefited by the free coinage of silver.
For from the standpoint Of silver
man, free coinage would give more
money, more money would increase
prices, higher prices would stimulate
industries, while this last would put
money into the pockets OF some of Mr..
Johnson's IS relations, friends and neigh
bors, who have no fixed salaries or no
salaries OF any kind.
The silver men do not believe that |
one-half is equal To the whole or that
the single coinage of gold will give as
much money as the free coinage of
both gold and silver
"Workingman" in the statesman"
seems to think IL is against free coin
age that one Of the defenders isan un-
dertaker.
This is worthy of notice only as IL
shows the desperate strates that the
average gold man feels in trying 10
sustain his position. 1t farther
shows that the silver party has not
absorbed all the coarseness when a
gold writer feels called upon TO go out
Of the way and try 90 Slur necessary
and honorable occupation that has
not the remotest bearing on the
question at issue,
