New York W. Chicago.

The rivalry between New York and
Chicago has always been interesting,
whether conducted seriously or in q
spirit Of sheer badinage. It is still so.
now that Chicago has again got the
better Of the Atlantic coast metropolis
in q contest for national convention
honors. This latest victory has proved
almost too much for our old friend.

Time to Recognize Cuba.

That the tactics Of moderation as ex-
emplified in the command Of Campos
are to be superseded on Spain's side
Of the Cuban rebellion by the tactics
of uncurbed brutalism is amply estab-
lished. General Weyler, Campos' sue"
cessor, has been chosen for the COM
mand of the Spanish forces for the
openly avowed reason that he can
smite and spare not; that he can and
will let loose the whole pack of wars
hellish bloodhounds, holding back none.
In war this Is permissible, because it
to kill. But Notwithstanding that, it is
none the less offensive. Even If Cuba
deserved to be devastated, to have her
fair plantations transformed into
slaughter pens and her once hospitable
homes laid low by the incendiarys
torch, the very thought Of such awful
ruin would be excruciatingly painful.
But when this black outlook Is forced
by the arm of oppression upon Cubans
simply for the crime of wanting to be
free, the horror of it intensifies an hun
dred fold. 1t is the old story Of the
Wyoming massacre over again, with
the scene shifted from the beautiful
valley of our fathers to the cline of
a neighboring island, the borders of
which liberty has not yet kissed with
the beams Of its realization.
1t would be some consolation in such
an emergency If the voice of our cOun-
try, in remembrance of it's own early
struggles, would send to the patriots Of
Cuba message of good cheer. But
no such consolation has been felt or
promised. The government at Wash
ington remains to all outward purposes
dumb. If 1t has moved at all in the
premises, it has moved toward Spain's
in obedience to q charac
teristic diplomatic obsequiousness
which always smiles on the upper dog.
1t Is time that the claims of humanity
were recognized in this matter. 1t is
time that a law higher than all the sell
fish conventions of the statesmen were
in this instance that observ-
Rnce which is now its manifest due.

Those newspapers which once made it
a daily practice to ridicule General For
aker are now trying the new trick of a
daily lie about him. One would think to
read these lies that Foraker is neck
deep in a conspiracy to betray McKin-
ley at st. Louis, whereas the fact Is
that If every Importer of the Canton Ma
poleon were as true as Foraker he would
easily become president ON March I,
1897.

1t is proposed by number of men to
have the next legislature adopt the
Torrens system of registering land
titles. This system, 1t will be remem-

puts the registration or titles on COM

to excellent advantage In other states
and there is no reason why it should NOT
prove equally satisfactory for Penn

the issue of slavery was disposed of,
finds an opponent in VIM. J. Bryan.
He seeks to conceal this opposition
under new issue-or what he claims
is new issue. AS matter of fact
it is the same issue as that which the
American people voted down by an
overwhelming majority In 1868. At
that time the declaration of the
Democrats was: "Where the obliga-
tions of the government do not ex-
pressly state upon their face, or The
law under which they were issued
does not provide that they shall be
paid in coin, they ought, in right
and in justice, to be paid in the Law
FUL MONEY of the United States.
One currency for the government
and the people, the laborer and the
office holder, the pensioner and the
soldier, the producer and the bond
holder.'' The same arguments were
then made for a deprecated cur
rency; the same attempts were then
made to excite the prejudices of the
people against capital and capitalists
the same denunciation OF men who
have saved a competence from a life
of active labor, and who have their
savings invested in securities; the
same senselcss harangue about "Brit-
lsh gold,' as are now being made by
Bryan. The same arguments were
then used, although there was nc
'scrime of 1872 to point to and use
as a scapegoat. The Republicans
denounced repudiation then, as it has
now, and carried the election by 9
majority of Ill in the electoral col
lege and large popular majority
just as it will in 1896.

If gold goes to a premium of
twenty per cent. every man who
borrows to meet obligations made
under a gold standard will have to
borrow $12o for every 500 he has
to pay. In other words, he will, in
effect, be paying twelve per cent for
capital to meet his obligations made
under the gold standard.

NOT AN IDLE THREAT.

Our Popocratlc cotemporary re-
fers to the statement of q prominent
sheepman of this county, recently
made, that he will raise no sheep
next year if Bryan is elected, as an
tsidle threat" and proceeds to in
quire: eff capital is drawn out of
active employment by the election of
Bryan, where will it go to? Will it
seek investment in other countries
where profits are less, or will it be
locked up in safe deposits for the
next four years, there to lie idle and
earn its owner nothing
This question has been frequently
presented, but we have not before
known as intelligent an authority as
the Mountaineer to consider it worth
asking. Bryan asks it,over and over
again, but he does it to fool people
who give the subject no thought.
The particular capital of our par
ticular sheepman will not go out of the
country, unless perchance all or por-
tion of the capital he has been using
belongs to someone in Europe, as is
the case with some of the capital
used in Wasco county by sheepmen.
If it is owned in Europe, it will be
recalled and will not again be EN-
ployed here to give employment to
labor. If he owns al the capital in
vested, not the usual case with men
engaged in any large industry, this
particular capital will not go out of
the country nor lie idle; but may be
used elsewhere to fill the place of
other capital, which will certainly go
out of The country. There is today
a considerable amount of capital used
in Wasco county which is owned in
Europe, not by corporations or banks,
but by individuals. This will GER
tainly be called home. The Oregon
Mortgage Company, the Northern
Counties Investment Trust, and per-
haps dozen other money lending
corporations, also have money loaned
in this and adjoining counties.
These loans will be withdrawn as soon
as practicable. The withdrawal of
this and other capital-for the same
condition exists 10 all the states west
of the Mississippi-will cause a scar
city of money with which to carry on
the business in which it was invested
the rates of interest will increase, and
the capital now used in Wasco county
by this sheepman viii find employ.
ment elsewhere, or in some other line
of business which can pay rate Of
interest higher than the profits Of
sheep raising.
But, says the Bryan man, the Dor.
rover of this foreign capital car
borrow the silver that is to be coined
The silver is not now coined, and
enough to fill the place of this forelgr
capital could not be in time to aid thil
industry. The rate of interest vii
not fall, but is more likely to rise
silver will be deprecated, as mos
men, even among the silverites, ad
NIT, and a man will have to pay tel
per cent for money less valuable
than the goli he is now using. Nei
ther farming nor sheep raising vii
warrant it.
The result, as we view it, will be
contraction in business; a lesseninI
of business enterprises, and conse
quently dininution in demand TO
labor.
