There is a plain moral in the

rom Europe and take outright to
silver she would have all America
and Asia at her back and the COM
maud of the markets OF both counh
tries. The barrier Of gold would
be more fa:al shan any barrier Of a
custom house. The bond of silver
would be stronger then any bond
Of free trade. There-cau be no
doubt about it that if the United
States were to adopt silver basis
Co>morrow British trade would be
ruined before the year was out.
Every American would be protect
ed not only at home, but IN every
other market. OF course, the U
nited States would suff-r to some
extent through having to pay her
obligations abroad in gold, but the
loss Of exchange under this head
would be a mere drop in the buck
ct as compared to the profit to be
.reaped from the markets of South
America and Asia to say nothing
of Europe The marvel is that
the United States have not long q,
20 seized the oppoetuAity. 1t has
been a piece Of luck that it has
never occurred to the Americans
to scoop US out cf the worlds mar
kets by going on a silver basis and

RORD TO WOOL GROWERS.

The wool raiser should carefully look
into conditions before he casts
his vote at the coming election.
If he believes the tariff can be an
issue in this election, and is sincere
in his belief that the president of
the United States can in any way die
tate to tariff legislation he should take
these questions into consideration:
Who wants free wool? Who are back
ing the different candidates? To she
first question he can only answer that
the Eastern wooden manufacturer is
the most benefited by free wool so
long as his manufactured product is
protected. And to the second question
he must answer that the Eastern manu-
facturers are among those who are
supporting Mckinley. Are they sup
porting him through their love for the
Western wool raiser, or for self inter-
est? Now if they have any influence
with Mr.. McKinley's administration
in case of his election, will not their
first effort be to get back the money
they subscribed to his campaign fluid?
Can they accomplish this best by in
sisting that their raw material be
made dearer by imposing a duty on
wool, or insisting that the raw material
be kept to the lowest possible price
and that higher duty be imposed
upon their manufactured product?
Let wool growers inquire into these
questions before they cast their ballots.

4 SAMPLE ARGUMENT.

The Chronicle quotes Benton Killen,
of Portland, of having said in private
interview: 81 notice that every DEM
ocrat who has anything or expects to
have anything, who is anybody or ex-
poets to be anybody, is against Bryan.
Every man who has nothing and ex-
poets to have nothing, or Is nobody
and who expects to continue nobody,
is for Bryan"
Now who is Mr.. Bent. Killen? that
he should thus rashly judge of the
supporters of Bryan or that he should
be quoted as authority. He is one of
the men who organized the "hational
democratic" party in Oregon. He is
q bloated bond-holder. He is a man
who is bowing to the command OF
Hanna and the corporations, and
is working in their interest to
elect Mckinley.
Failing of ofargument he resorts to Will
flying all who support Bryan, calling
them "nobodies" and people who ex-
pect to continue to be "nobodies." !"
This may be argument, since it is
sample Of that produced by the gold
people through the entire campaign,
but it is the style of abuse that solid
ifies the ranks of Bryan's supporters.
It is reiteration of the oft-repeated
expression that if you are on the side
of the people and against the rule of
you are fool and knave,
an anarchist aud traitor.

HOW MONEY AFFECTS PRICES

The principal contention of the ad-
vocates of free coinage is that when a
money metal is made scarce, either by
an incre ased demand or by lack of pro-
| duction, the price of the money made
of that metal tits purchasing power) is
| enhanced. Their claim is that when
the leading nations of the world re-
fused to longer recognize silver as a
standard or basic money, and made
gold the sole unit of value, an in
creased demand and consequent scar
city OF that metal was created, there
fore the purchasing power of gold and
all money based on gold was enhanced,
and that the value of all property ex-
cept money fell.
This position has heretofore been as
sailed by the advocates of the gold
standard as untrue, it having been
held by them that the supply of, or de-
mand for the basic money metal had
NJ effect upon the values of property,
since. gold was the standard of all
value. But in the republican cam
paign text book 1896 it is admitted that
money does fuctuate, and that the
price of money metal, even though
it be gold, is affected by the law of
supply and demand. We quote the
following from pages PIG, 2l7 of that
book:
"Among even intelligent persons in
the business world it is a common be-
lief that money-especially gold-is
unvarying in value, bnt the following
statements show it to be variable in
value:
"Gold and silver, like every other
vary in their value. The
discovery of the abundant mines of |
America reduced in the sixteenth CEN
tury the value of gold and silver in |
Europe to about third of what it had
been before. This revolution in their |
value, though perhaps the greatest, is
by no means the only one of which
history gives some account.
Increase the scarcity of gold to a
certain degree. and the smallest bit of
it may be more precious than a
Smith.
"The greater scarcity of money en-
hances its price and increases the
there being nothing that
loes supply the want of it; the lessen
ng of its quantity, therefore, always
Increases its price and makes an equal
portion of it exchange for greater
II any other thing-John Locke"
These are indeed cardinal truths,
md all gold advocates must accept
hem as authority coming as they do 1
rom the republican campaign book I
or 1898 that has just been compiled (
