A SOUND EXPLANATION.
Congressman Lewis Advances Ideas About
Wheat and Silver.

Congressman Lewis Advances Ideas About
Wheat and Silver.
Congressman James Hamilton Lewis
was asked by a Post-Intelligencer re-
porter recently if it was not his view
the present disparity between wheat
and silver-wheat so high and silver
so low-had eliminated the silver
question as campaign issue. In an.
swer he said: -
"The Chicago Tribune sent a gentle
man to me with that question. l will
answer you as I did him, that wheat
and silver remain together under nor
NAL conditions, simply upon the theory
that the poor purchasing bread
purchase the more because of the
more money they have. Silver being
in small denominations is the money
for the poor. Wheat has risen because
of the failure of all crops in Europe
and Asia; silver has fallen because
Japan, owing S15O.OOO, 900, has prom
ised to pay in gold-silver being denied
use and wheat being given increased
use. Should the conditions be re-
versed, demand for silver suddenly
arise, because of the depletion of the |
silver mines. and an overHux of wheat |
should occur all over the country. we |
would have silver high aud wheat low.
"The condition is just as thoIgh Sc
attic were consumed by fire. as it was
in 1899. Men who would have spent |
money for the ordinary wants of life |
turned it at once to the purchase of
lumber. Lumber would then, as it did |
in 1889, 90 to Sl5 per thousand In
many instances, because of the ex-
cessive demand, while brick would 60
to $12 and SIS, though normally worth
but 81. No one would insist that such
showed the relative market
value of bricks to lumber, yet l insist
it is just as fair to me easure bricks with
lumber, as it is to measure wheat with
silver. The demand for money will
remain the issue, with prices for all
things increased 100 per cent by the
Dingley bill, and that more money
will be needed to make all purchases.

seen that The Dalles Italians brought

Driven Mad by hlOndike TerrOrs.
The wife of J. ]. Carscadden, Port.
land restaurant keeper who went north
on the first trip of the Elder, is in a
most Ditiful condition. When Mr..
Carscadden left for Klondike he left
his wife in charge of his restaurant
business, expecting to return some day
rich, and find his wife and by await
ing his return to welcome him home,
but in this the gold hunter will be
disappointed. Mrs. Carscadden has
become so wrought up over the horrors
of the long journey to Yukon that her
husband is making, and has so worried
over the hardships he is enduring that
she has become a raving maniac and
has been sent to the asylum at Salem,
the boy is being cared for by friends
and the restaurant has gone into the
hands of strangers. 1t will b, many
months before Mr.. Carscadden learns
of his misfortune, and possibly before
word reaches him his wife will be
dead.

tion. Forest reserves were established
for the purpose of protecting the tim
ber, and it is not presumable that the
department would permit settlers to go
thereon and cut timber even for their
own use. Possibly settler residing
within the reserve would be allowed
TO cut timber on government land for
his own use, but settlers living outside
the reserve would certaisly be ex-
cluded.
Advices from New York regarding
fruit shipments from The Dalles, are
not encouraging so far as prices are
concerned, but as to quality and style
of packing are indeed complimentary.
They say the fruit shipped by Judge
Bennett, w, H. Taylor and Marshal
Hill is the best received in New York
this year, and was packed in better
shape than fruit received from any
other section in the United States.
This will be of little benefit to Dalles
fruit raisers this season, but it is like
laying up treasures in heaven, it will
add somewhat to the price of their
shipments in future years, that is,
Dalles fruit will be in demand and will
command the top price.

BIG DEMAND FOR BLANKETs
Salem and Waterloo Mills Cannot FIJI
Orders.

Orders.
The need OF more manufacturing il
Oregon is emphasized by the demands
made upon the few wooden mills there
are in the state for blankets and wool
ems to supply the Alaskan trade al
present. So long as the rush continues
to Alaska, and it shows no signs OF
abating soon, there will be brisk de
mand for heavy wooden goods. l.
Oregon factories are unable to supply
the demand it will be supplied from.
the East, and Oregon wool will b.
shipped across the continent, mann
factured into blankets and cloth, tho.
shipped back to our wholesalers to Ii
their orders. This should not be. br
it will not change until some enter
prising capitalists take it into their
heads to enter into manufacturing a
different favored localities in the state.
While the demand for such goods IL
brisk, it would be fortunate time for
The Dalles, which handles from seven
to eight million pounds of wool an
nually, to consider the advisabili5y of
entering into wooleu m anufLcturiug.
A Salem paper speaking of the brisk
demand for woolens says th" mill at
that place is running on fu / time,
making goods to fill the orders con
tinually crowding in upon the IN tnage-
ment. The factory is now working
principally upon blankets and mack
inaws, although some cloth is also
made. The demand for blankets and
mackinaws is such that it is impos
sible to supply the demand. the Alaska
trade having suddenly caused an un-
precedented squirt to this part of the
business, and the prospects are that
the pressure will continue for some
years at least.
When the fabulous stories of the dis
coveries of gold in the Klondike region
were first made known on the coast,
every jobbing house dealing in the
goods manufactured in woolen mills
importuned the manufacturers to ac-
cept orders from them, at prices above
the market quotations, and many Or
ders were refused by the Salem factory,
as it was impossible to make the
contracts and deliver the goods, the
capacity of the mill Icing too small
for the demand. The rush has now
continued for some time and shows
little if any abatement. and there is
no trouble about securing orders for
the output of the mill.
The same condition prevails at the
Waterloo mill of this company, and.
as the principal demand seems to be
for blankets, that mill has for some
time made only those staples, aud is
now and will probably for some time to
come, make blankets only.
Thomas B. Kay, Eastern representa-
tive of the company, is still in New
York, but he is expected to return TO
|: Oregon before long, as the firm has de-
cided not to take orders for goods in
that section OF the country at present,
the capacity of the plant being taxed
by the effort to fill the Pacific coast
demand.

KISSED Mr.. CROKER.
Remarkable Treatment of Leader of

New Yo.l, oct. 29,-Richard Croker
was roundly Kissed last night at the first
great meeting in Tammany hall which
he has attended during the campaign.

stances which made the incident border
on the sensational. The affair occurred
at the meeting arranged for by Mr..
Croker I'm honor OF Carter Harrison.

members of the Chicago aldermanic
board and 300 members of the Cook

Cantor of New York to the daughter of a
Chicago millionaire. Mayor Harrison
was on the platform when the kissing
took place. and the Chicago delegation
occupied front seats in the body of the
hall. Owing to the repeated Interrupt

taken to keep Henry George shouters out

OF his speech he was literally applauded.
The Chicago men Were warmly greeted
by the crowds In the galleries. There
was renewed cheering when Mayor
Harrison appeared on the platform ac-
companed by Richard Croker. The
most remarkable thing which has ever
occurred at a Tammany hall meeting
took place just then. Some one called
for three cheers for Richard Croker.
The response was storm Of Kisses that
swept over the hall Not a cheer was
given. and the man who called for them
thought he would try again In very
loud voice he called again for three
cheers for Croker. There was a feeble
response this time, but the cheers were
drowned by kissing. Croker heard the
expressions Of disapproval for himself.
Then he retired to a seat away back on
the stage
Mr. Eustis was the first speaker. He
did not refer TO Bryan. the Chicago plat
form or financial issues i'm any way.
The interest in his address centered In
his references to Cuba. He said that
the heart of the American people had
always gone out TO a people struggling
for freedom. The Democratic party had
always sympathized with these patriotic
Impulses and they were especially in
