GOLD NUGGETS FROM M~cKINLEY's
LETTER OF ACCEPTANCE.

The mere declaration that the Demo-
Gratis propose to inaugurate the free
and unlimited coinage OF silver Is a
menace to our financial and industrial
institutions.
We must not be misled by phrases
0 deluded by false theories. Free sill
yer would not mean hat silver dollars
were to be freely had without cost or
labor.
The owner OF the silver bullion would
get the silver dollar; the people would
get II only by their labor.
What would keep the new silver dol
lars at par with gold? There would be
no obligation on the government to do
1t; the simple truth Is, we would be driv-
metalllsm.
Bimetalllsm cannot be secured by in
dependent action on our part, nor by
opening our mints to free silver. until
international agreement is had 1t is the
duty Of the United States to maintain
the gold standard.
We now have more silver than gold.
E~ighty-four per cent OF our foreign
trade is with gold standard countries.
The Republican party is not opposed
to the use Of silver money. and has
done all 1t could for It consistent with
We have more silver in use than any
country In the world except China or
India.
Free coinage would defer, II not de-
feat, international bimetallism.
Free silver would contract our cur
rency and drive 800, 900, 900 gold dollars
out Of circulation.
The money Of a country should never
be the subject Of partisan contention.
In addition to free silver we are asked
to enter on an era Of irredeemable paper
currency. We are not a nation Of
classes, and appeals to prejudice should
be rebuked.

MCKINLEY HOLDS THE KEY.

A well known traffic manager Of
Portland who visited in Astoria yester-
day said to an Historian reporter:
Every indication points to the fact
that the betting in favor Of Mckinley
on the general election will soon be
sixteen dollars to l.
ITO my personal knowledge a large
number Of the most prominent Port
land merchants who had large or
ders with New York and Chicago
houses for goods. have recently wired
them to cancel all orders unless
they hear on the Sd of November
that Mckinley is elected. when they
can sonsider that information as an
order to relnstate their orders for goods
and to ship them Immediately without
further instructions from them"
A careful canvass Of the city and con-
tiguous territory by the railroad man
failed to show hat any similar orders
had been placed on the contingency Of
the election OF Bryan.

KAFFGR CORN.
It Is Being Grown in oregon With Sue
ceSs-Samples shown.

-
some four months ago the Astorian
published an interesting account ot the
growth and development OF Kattir corn
in the state Of Oregon, Experiments
have been made with this grain, and
the following record Of results, pub
.llshed in the Oregonian, will be- read
with interest,
\ gentleman u Portland yesterday
brought up from sauvie's Island two
stalks OF Kunir corn. ot which there
has been so much said lately In the
Eastern papers. This corn was grown
at the ranch belonging to Messrs, spcn-
Ger and Thomas Jewett. brothers, who
are well-known Oregon pioneers, and
took up their claim In the SOS. and OBJ
tained patents to the land under the
donation law. The Jewett brothers
planted about two acres OF the Kaitr
corn last spring, A part OF the corn
was sown broadcast. and grew equally
we'll with that which was planted in
hills. Some Of this corn was covered
by last June's food, but the water did
not affect its growth, Stalks have
grown to the height OF more than ten
feet, 4 small part OF the corn has al
ready ripened, and, II the present warm
weather continues FOR about W. weeks,
most OF It will mature.
The stalks resemble sorghum. having
the broad leaves OF sorghum or Indian
corn. The Joints are much shorter than
either sorghum or maize. The corn
grows on a taSsel at the top Of the
plant, the grains being exposed. II has
a tendency to send out si~de-shoots.
which in turn have side-shoots on
them. The plant grows to the height
Of several feet before showing any tas-
sells, 1t being hidden by the leaves OF
the plant. The plant opens and the
tassel grows OF the case.
There are two kinds or corn. the
white and the red. these samples being
Of the white variety. The corn. when
ripe, is round and very hard, and is
about the size OF No. 1 shot or the
smallest buckshot. The exact purpose
for which this corn will be used In this
country is not determined. In Calf
fornia II is used largely as feed for
chickens and ducks. II is said to be
better popcorn han the genuine Amer
lean popcorn.
Altogether, the plants are quite in
teresting, and 1t is to be hoped that
the exposition will be able to get a few
plants to put on exhibition, as they
would excite almost universal interest,
a man who can make two blades Of
grass grow where one grew before is
not to be compared with one who can
introduce an entirely new cereal. Be
sides the possibility Of giving the
try a new food. there is a further pos
sibllity Of an entirely new kind Of
whisky.

THE REVENUE
CUTTER SERVICE



and two boys. the mates TO receive $50,
$40 and stt a month respectively, the
mariners and boys to be paid s. and 81
u month. besides the ratlons allowed to
u soldier In the army, Such were the
primitive ideas upon naval require
mcnts In those early days, The specific
ot the service was the protection
Of the revenue from customs and 70 aid
IN It's collection, The duties VI the on
GERS are today practically the same 90
hen first established, but their scope
has enlarged with the growth Of the
country. Within eight months from ne
passage ot the act creating this corps,
the revenue marine was completely or
ganiEcd. and the secretary of the treas
Jury vas able to assign his little fleet OF
ten vessels to duty, For six years these
cutters constituted the only naval force
~ the United States, Many deeds "
valor have been recorded Of the com
mandcrs In this service during the past
century.
There are several incidental duties
assigned 10 revenue cutters. such as
the protection OF timber reserves Dor
dering upon the coast ~ nayigable riv-
ers. and the task of distinguishing fires,
one notable Instances Is that ot the
cutter Johnson. which on October 9Th,
sal. steamed down Lake Michigan from
Racine. Wisconsin. to the city NJ Chi
cago, at hat time In flames Against a
heavy gale the Johnson made the run
to the doomed city In seven hours. and
while still distant six miles. sparks
from the terrible connagration dropped
upon her decks, and TO avoid danger,
she was Obliged To change her course.
The Johnson rendered magnificent ser
vice during this trying time.
no pension is provided FOR the Wild
ows or orphans Of the revenue cutter
service. though the mems lives may be
sacrificed amid the calls OF their pro-
fession. or themselves disabled for fur
Their service. only when an officer Of
this corps has been wounded or diSa-
BLEED In the line OF duty while c%o.operat-
ing with the navy (so-reads the present
law is his name entitled to be placed
upon the pension list. And yet his
person Is In danger almost from the
first moment hat he enters the service
The lack OF pensions IL not the only
hardship To- which the men u this
corps are forced 10 submit. There Is
no retired list. Until very recently the
service bore upon It's roll the names
OF men who had served In the Mexican
war; men so years OF age are still on
the active list. The last congress did.
Indeed. make provision FOR the placing
of these superannuated officers upon Il
roll denominnted permanent waiting
orders" with half pay. and under the
operation OF this law, thlrty-nlne on
GERS were examined and found disqual-
flied for active duty. and placed upon
this waiting orders" roll.
The officers Of the revenue cutetr SER
vice have banded together In a little
brotherhood for mutual relief and the
promotion Of common interests, styling
their club the Alexander Hamilton. a"
in honor Of the first secretary Of the
treasury, who was In a measure the
founder OF the corps.
