The Eugene Register declares fran
tically that viii r. King is "Pen-
noyer's satellite" for the United
States senate, 1t adds:
"lf the people Of Oregon desire to be
misrepresented 10 Washington by Mr..
PennoyeF, the arch.demagOgue OF
American politics, let them support
w. r. King for governor"
The Register does not know King.
1t does not understand the Union or

be handled in the interest OF Pen
noyer, Mitchell, Corbett, or any other

The treasury calmly states the pei
capita of circulation among the Amer,
ican people January l, 1898 as s23.34
as compared with s22.s7 on January l,
1897. To make this appear, all the
reserves OF national banks are all re-
serve funds held by other banks trust
companies and so on, and treated as
being la active circulation; PROPOSE
tion which would appear ridiculous to
any schoolboy not advanced beyond
his primer Of arithmetic. 1t is an
estimate accepted by most experts,
that 10 one way or another, nearly or
quite one-half Of the nominal vol
ume OF our currency is permanently
locked up in the form of bank re-
serves.
The manner In which the treasury
statement treats the gold coinage of
the nation is a clear illustration Of
the dIsingeniousness OF our financial
authorities. The amount Of gold coin
"in circulation" is maze up by taking
the general stock of gold coined or
Issued, which is placed at 5000, ATS, ,536,
deducting from that sum the amount
Of gold In the treasury, sl50,9l0,l76,
and crediting the remainder to "gold
in circulrtion." Such calculations
are worse than valueless. Econo-
mists OF all shades of doctrine Iare
agreed that not less than 60 per cent
of the country's gold coinage has an
nually been absorbed in the arts,
that much larger proportion has
into them during the periods of small
production. Applying that rule to
the figures, we should haye general
stock OF gold amounting in round
numbers to 1920, ,OO0, 900, and after de-
Quoting the treasury gold from that,
about s26S, 100000 in circulation in
stead of s547, ,56s, 1850, as Mr., Gage
would like to have us believe. But,
even taking the reduced hgure OF
$26s, ,OO0, 200, how much of that gold
does any one suppose is in free circu-
lation among the farmers, merchants
and laborers OF the country9 Practi-
cally every dollar OF it is hiyed in the
vaults OF banks aud trust companies.
Taking all these considerations to-
Rether, while IL is beyond the power
OF any statistican TO axactlY fix the
real volume OF money, or the per cap
ita in actual free circulation among
the people, IL does not require statis-
tlcal ability TO detect the utter fall
acy OF the treasury figures on these
points. There is not a shadow Of
probability that the actual sum per
,apita is more than half OF the amount
claimed, while We are inclined to be-
ieYe that the government would lind
'reat difficulty IN showing upon any
satisfactory grounds that IL exceeds
even. or at the outside, eight dollars
! head.
When such administrative efforts 20
obscure the truth regarding the cur
enoy situation are not only possible.

Turner Wash in the senate made
vigorous speech in favor of Cuba
freedom, He said the admInittration
had not acted as it should, or it would
haye freed Cuba before this. He laid
create stress upon the destruction of
the Maine, saying Spain was respon-
sible. He would cheerfully vote for a
declaration of war. He said Spain
was nation Of cruelty, deceit and
blood.
The galleries were crowded, despite
a snow and sleet storm.
Harris (Kan.) followed Turner, The
Cubans had earned liberty by blood
and tears, he said. He charged the
destruction of the Maine to official
treachery on the part of Spain. That
blackest crime of all nations, he de.
clared, would not be allowed to be-
come mere incident. Harris was ap-
plauded by the galleries.
Deboe (Ky.) said his state was
united in favor of Cuban independ.
ence, and the people of Cuba deserved
the sympathy of the CIVILIZED world.
Keuney, del said if a resolution OF
belligerency had been passed by the
house Cuba would have been free and
the loss TO lives and millions of treas.
ure saved. The diplomatic clap.trap,
be said, could no longer stop ven
geance for innocent blood or prevent
Cuba's freedom.
Chandler followed Kenny and was
listened to with great interest, He
said that the United States should
Immediately declare war against
Spain and maintain that war until the
people of Cuba were free from Span
ish starvation and cruelty, and the
government Of the island finally estab-
lished as an independent republic.
Turpie followed. He said it was the
duty OF the American congress to in
tervene for the Cuban republic. The
destruction of the Maine, he declared
was an insult which could only be re-
paired by making it impossible for il
to occur again by placing Cuba an
Havana out of the power of SpaiG
forever.
The senate then took up the Sun
dry civil appropriation bill.
Members of congress are receiving
scores of kilograms from bankers and 1
appealing TO them TO

president, Many OF the kilograms are
'ouched in practically the same Ian
'uage, showing they are inspired from
he same source. This pressure is
'lgorously resented by the members.
As the debate which occurred IN the
xecutive session Of the senate would

tion 10 come from the committee on ,

Per Capita Circulation on Paper.

Us. McEwen 10 Coquille Herald:
The usual statement showing" the
amount OF gold and silver coins and
other currency sin circulation" on
the first Of January, 1898, is inter
resting for what it conceals. While
it mItght be improper to accuse its
authorities OF active and abstract
mendacity, very little analysis Of
the figures will serve to demonstrate
that they are calculated, and doubt
less Intended, TO mislead the public
as to the real condition and distri-
button OF the nations circulating
medium.
There is nothing particularly new
about this. For some years the sta
tistical end OF the treasury has juggled
with monetary facts and figures, in a
vain effort to make black appear
white. We are used to that, and the
only pity is that so much public time
and money should be spent in the
preparation OF statements which no
longer command credence. Following
is comparative table, showing the
the amount OF money Of each kind
