The fluctuations in prices since

Thus we find that, on April /, 1896,
sSl.29 would purchase as great a
quantity OF commodities In general us

preciated and prices went steadily
down until 1919. In that year gold
was discovered in CalifOrnia,and few
years later in Australia, and with
the increased supply OF gold, prices
rose steadily until 1872, when prices
ia general were 30 per cent higher
than IN 1919.
The next year the mints OF the
United states and Germany were
closed to silver, while the mintage OF
silver at the French mints was re-
stricted, and as the demand for silver
was thus curtailed, silver commenced
to fall, while gold, with tho increased
demand thrown upon IL by discarding
silver. commenced to appreciate and
prices to fall. And this fall 10 prices
has been almost continuous ever since.
During Il few years following the pas
sage of tho Bland act and coinage OF
silver under that act the fall OF prices
was checked, aud again in the years
IsS7-Iss0 an expansion Of credit led To
to a slight rise In prices. But this ex-
pansion Of credit led TO the collapse Of
1890 and further fall of prices.
Mr.. MOores refers to the senate com
mite Of 1891 The fall in prices be-
tween 1872 and 1891 is shown by the
table Of index numbers
based on that senate report on prices
made TO the second session Of the
congress, and prepared
~ Prof. Il. Il. Faulkner. The index
numbers indicate that 500 in 1891
would purchase as great quantity
# commodities in general as Sl32.32
n 1873 or Sl29.5O In 1914, and so on
rhe parallel column showing nuctua-
ions in silver shows that silver was
worth 24.36 per cent more in 1873 than
n 1891. The marked rise OF silver I'm
800 followed the passage Of the Sher-
nan act. These tables are OF course
,aoad an cold uricna.

MEHAMA, Aug. S.
EDITOR JoURNAL:-A steady rain
fall greeted us this morning upon
awakening which lasted until nearly
noon, but il did not seem to interfere
with the announcement to very
great extent, as Immediately after
breakfast the campers began gather
ing in gangs about the grounds pleas
ure bent. There was singing at the
headquarters Of the Ladies Relief
Corps and the croquet grounds were
the scene of interesting games all
morning.
Among the recent arrivals are the
Misses Sherman and Commander
Barnes, Of Sedgwick Post, of Salem,
who is kept busy shaking hands and
exchanging war experiences with old
comrades.
Judge J. II. Fairbanks was seized
with a sudden attack of neuralgia
yesterday morning, and as yet has not
recovered sufficiently to take an active
part in the affairs of the camp. We
hope he will soon be well again and
regain his old time peculiar humor.
Prof. Heritage and Rev. Grannis
spare no pains in making their pres
ence agreeable, and judging from the
immense crowds they draw and the
prolonged outbursts Of laughter which
their merry jokes and witticisms
occasion. 1t was their intention to
drive TO- Salem this evening, but due
to the uncertainty of the weather
they were persuaded to remain at least
until tomorrow.
After lunch the weather was excel
lent and the proceedings were opened
by song, my Country It's of Thee, 1"
by all with Prof. Heritage as leader
and organist, followed by song,
columbia Freed" by the choir;
another national song by choir and
prayer by Rev. Myers. Rev. Geo. w.
Grannis was then introduced as
"oratOr OF the day" and took the
stand at 2 O'Clock and delivered an
eloquent and very impressive patriotic
oration, embracing citizenship,
finance, Americanism and finally
closed with brief touch upon the
immigration question. His speech
was full OF enthusiasm and was quite
frequently interrupted with cheers
and loud applause as he touched upon
the important points. IL was a
rousIng good two hours talk and all
were very sorry that he was obliged TO
quit on account Of the shower.
There Is an excellent program be-
ing prepared for tomOrrow's feast and

have been taken in several direc-
tions that may lead to important

have been taken IN several d1rec-
tiors that may lead to important
things.
The senate finance committee
which took up the tariff bill,
passed by the house, as soon as
its reorganization was completed,
is expected to report that measure
back to the senate Immediately.
Then a fight will begin which
may be long or short according to
circumstances. The general be-
lief is that the tariff bill will pass
the senate in some shape. Then
the bond bill, also in the hands OF
the financial committee, will have
turn.
Senator Lodge, of Mass, is not
usually classified as a conserva-
tive upon any question, but by
general consent the closing words
of his speech on the Monroe doc
trine have been accepted as a con-
servative statement Of the posi-
ton which the United States now
occupies and which it will con-
tinue to occupy. He said: 81
believe that this question will be
peaceab1y settled by She good
sense of tla representatives OF
England and the q. S., but | am
very clear that such settlement
can only be reached by action on
the part of congress and OF the
president, which shall be as firm
as it is temperate, and Which
shall maintain the Monroe doc
trine absolutely and at all haz-
ards wherever it justly applies.
That doctrine is as important to
us as the balance of power is to
Europe, and those who maintain
the latter must not attempt tc
break down the principle which
guards the integrity of the Ameri.
cas- and protects them from the
interference and control of foreign
powers" There is very little
talk of war in congress this
week; everybody is now talking
peace.

That Reported Russian Alliance.

That report OF a secret alliance be-
tween the United States and Russia,
whereby Russia would assist the United
States in case of a war between this
country and England, comes to the
front every time there is any talk of
trouble. During the excitement over
the Alabama claims, which were settled
by arbitration in 1872, the alliance, or
alleged alliance, was often spoken Of
and it figured in the talk of possible
trouble with England few years ago
in relation to the seal fisheries Ii
time and frequent repetition without
official denial gives authority to a
story, this one ought to have secured
general acceptance by this time.
A few facts and considerations give
a certain plausibility to this report.
Russia was about the only great power
of Europe which showed any marked
! friendship for the United States in the
civil war days. This friendship, il
was said at the time, took the shape o1
a positive offer of aid from Russia tc
the government if England and France
which were friendly to the South-or
rather, jealous OF the United States
and, therefore, hostile to the North
should interfere in behalf of the South

The editor of the Sioux Valley
News has been investigating the
grain business, and after examin-
ing the books of the shippers he
says that they have made very
little, if any. profit this season.
He thinks, however, that to con-
form with the low prices in all
other lines of business, the rail
roads should not be allowed to
charge the same price for hauling
40 cent wheot as they received
when the farmer received 81 pei
bushel.

less to love of the United States than to
hatred for England,


hatred for England.
An alliance such as is reported, how
ever, would be reciprocal in its opera
ton. 1t would involve aid to Russia by
the United States in Russia's troubles,
as we'll as help from Russia when the
United States got into difficulties. OF
course, no administration would ever
dare to entangle the United States in
such a way, and, unquestionably, no
such ENHANCEMENT would ever be en-
dorsed or tolerated by the people. Rus
sia did the United States a good turn
in lS61-5. and her motives in doing it
will not be closely inquired into by this
country. The gratitude which the
people felt at the time they still feel.
But it is entirely safe to say that no
formal alliance, secret or other, has
been entered into between the govern
ments of the two nations. The United
States is as determined as it was in
Washingtons and Jeffersons days to
keep out of the Old Worlds quarrels,
and it is, at the same time, as resolute-
ly opposed to any interference by the
Old World nations in strictly Ameri-
can affairs.-St. Louis Globe Demo
crat.

suicide.

bomb weighing IA pounds under the

There is no clue to the person who
placed the bomb where it was found,
Rebels have blown up the Iaguasa
