BY far the best speech heard in Shell
ton during the present campaign was
that of Hermon W. Craven last Satur-
day night. The audience was also
very enthusiastic and the largest SO
far, the train bringing down number
of loggers down from Williamson's
and Draham's camps. Mr.. Craven
dealt with the financial question in the
proper way, not talking platitudes, but
going directly to the wherefores and
explaining each point thoroughly. He
is student on the question and has
written book exposing many of the
fallacies of populist theories, entitled
errors of Popu1ism." His address
throughout received respectful atten-
ton, and many ardent ''free silver
men conceded that his treatment was
able and fair.
He showed plainly the causes which
led to the fall in prices of silver, main
ly the suspension of silver coinage, or
DEMONSTRATION" by over twenty
European nations, many of them large
and powerful, and with the 1essened
demand caused by the action of each of
them, silver continued to drop until it
is now worth less than half $1,29 an
ounce. The other important reason
was the rapid increased production,
which was 215 million ounces, 1866-7O;
316, 1915; 1913, 1S76-80; 400, 1885; 544,
1886-90; 738, 1891-95. While United
States has restricted its col mage, still
it has called for and coined a vas t
amount of bullion during this period,
and could not take up the worlds
supply. The remedy is to secure the
same countries, or the leading nations
that contracted the use of silver, to CO.
operate with us to make its use general
again, and increase the demand.
While there is little prospect of raising
the price to $1.29, because of the great
ly increased volume of production; still
it will be materially raised and then,
by international agreement the proper
ratio can be established, and we can
have a ''sound dollar good all over
the world.
Mr.. Craven dealt with the question
in business-1ike way, and his logic,
borne out by statistics, is unanswera-
t1e.
The splendid Olympia G1ee Club of
about 20 numbers came down on the
evening boat and favored the Shelton
people with number of campaign
songs, Though oversight an organ
was not provided, but the club was
splendid just the same, and is said to
be the best in the State. We hope to
have them again The Olyinpians
comp1imented the music of our Shell
ton Band; and the boy are furnishing
good music this fall.

The beautiful story in the local pop.
paper about the Port B1ake1y McKin-
ley club matamorphosing itself into a
Bryan club by Unanimous vote" is
on par with that about the Union

the story.

MCDONALD & O'NEILL
Our friends are hard-up for flaws in
lCraven's speech. The only one we
hear from them is that the speaker
said eff we had free silver, the man
with nick1e could take a cents worth
to the mint and get five-cent nickle
back" He simply used a nickle to
further illustrate the fact that under
free coinage the mine-owner could
take So cents worth of bullion to the
mint and get 100-cent stamp on it,
but it would really pass at its bullion
value, unless the government agreed
to make good any depreciation. Some
people ought to stay home; it takes
too much effort to understand speak
er properly.

Some of the logging companies have

of intemperance.
We believe it pays well to devote
the necessary time to caring for and
spraying your orchard. AS I result Of
our work last spring; and because OF
lack of time it was not thoroughly
done, the difference in the fruit pro-
duced this fall is very appreciab1e.
Last year one of our young trees bore
about box of apples, each of which
contained healthy Goblin worm; they
reddened prematurely and fell to the
ground half-ripe. Spraying at the
proper time prevented the Goblin moth
from laying its eggs and not single
apple on half dozen bearing trees in
our home orchard was affected this
year. The apples ripened perfectly
and were twice as large as those Of
the previous year. It pays to spray
if you expect to have good fruit. give
your trees attention at the proper tim,
aud very little work is required. II
order to encourage our growers to give
their orchards the needed attention
this fall and next spring, and gei
some good specimens for that County
Fair next fall, we will offer a year:

bring as five different kinds of apple.

New Years Calls.

Inssmuch as Brother Royce was
raised In the provincial town of
Smythe Centre, Kansas, and has
never had an opportunity of becom-
ing posted upon the usages Of polite
society, The HERALD will give him a
little fatherly advice on the lines of
action to be followed IN making New
Years calls. 1t will be noticed John
@, that some Of our people will on
New Years day keep open house
Now that does not mean that one has
a right or is expected to enter at the
kitchen door without knocking dressed
IN q hsnd-me-down and make oneself
at home, neither does it mean that
you should 20 to the pantry and help
yourself to a piece of cold mince pie,
bnt it means that you must present
yourself at the front door of these
homes, dressed in Prince William,
and other necessary coverings. (If
you can stand the stable keeper of
have a carriage to haul you around,
but il you cannot do this, walk.) A
polite man servant will respond to
your ring, and you will possibly
be allowed to enter. Then advance
to the center Of the room and salute
each receiving lady with, wish you
a Happy New Year" Don't bawl
this out as though you we're making a
political speech to non-sympathetic
audience, neither whisper it as does a
thirsty soul when ordering another
bottle, but say it with frmness and
dignity, try by all meanO to impress
upon the ladies that you mean just
what you say. Shortly you will be
asked to lunch. You must at this
point exercise great self restraint.
Do not act as though 1T was your first
meal during the year. Keep your
temperance resolutions, Ito yourself).
Having Toasted in light faced man
ner, leave for each lady card large
stock appropriate for the day at the
HERALD office, exchange rates for
printers), and then get out Of the
house the best way you can. Do not
stay at any one place from 2 to 8,
Brevity is the soul Of wit Repeat
this as often as your acquaintance
list will permit.

The sheriff had a strike on his
hands the other day, when he took
dinner to his boarders, He offered
them what majority OF men would
consider good meal, Among other
things was a liberal supply Of tip-top

boarders objected to the bread, and
said; IF I have got to stay here
twenty days, I'll die il l have to eat
that stuff, l want corn bread, sure"
The sheriff good naturally is now
furnishing corn bread, and the strike
is over.
