The Value Of a Sound Credit.

More and more as the war crisis APP
proaches the thinking people OF the
nation appreciate the value of a sound
hubble credit, and are proportionally
thankful that Organism did not prevail
at the last Presidential election To
say nothing of the disastrous effects Of

place of the prudent and patriotic Nc
Kinley. firm in his determination to dc
right. cool-hcaded in every emergency
the bare possibility of a Bryanic 1inan-
cial policy at this time makes the in
telligent American gasp. Today, the
nation has mere gold than ever before
ard many millions more are on the
way. It's credit was never so sound
ard its obligations are not outrankcd
i'm the markets of the world by those of
any other country 1t can have from
its own people or from abroad all the
money needed to carry on war or for
any other purpose. and its statesmen in
planning for just war on behalf of
humanity and in defense of the ma
tons rights are not confused and per
picked by any financial problems
What vastly different condition OF
things would have prevailed if the
United States had accepted the fallacy
of the 16 to l doctrine in 1896. The gold
would have fled from the country, and
the credit of the nation would have been
shattered. With the repudiation Of ma
ton of a 44-cent dollar. the cardinal
principles of the silverites' policy.
financial chaos would have reigned IN
our borde sand the outside world would
have had much pity but no money for

tonal honor is at stake, the question Of
the cash and the credit necessary to
put the country on war footing would
have been more pressing than the mat

so resulted as it did. Recent events
and present conditions are doing much
to wipe out the memory of the free sill

to keep their cause alive but they are in
a hopeless fight. Fate has Joined the

Those who are looking for drafts in

A number of the Oregon papers,
including the Oregonian, are fight
ing over the political campaign that
closed on the 9th, which seems to
be perfect waste of time. By the
vote cast on the 9th ult. a certain
policy was endorsed, so why not
give the readers a rest, and let the
systems endorsed have fair trial.
If these systems are beneficial to
the masses, experience will show it;
if not, like all other wrong systems,
they must fall despite any argument
that may be submitted by the pa
pers to bolster them up. If the
gold standard and high protective
tariffs are good things, then will
their merits become prominent by
experience; if not, other systems
will be endorsed, regardless of what
papers may say.-Times Noun

They are having great muddle
over in Marion county over the
election returns. There has been
some monkeying with the returns
and as a consequence L. V. Ehlen,
the county clerk has disappeared
and his bondsmen are very anxious
to know his whereabouts, as it is
thought that in his hurry to leave
he took several thousand dollars
with him that did not belong to
him but was simply in his hands as
county clerk. An election contest
will be the result, and if matters are
probed with vigor things will get
pretty hot over old Marion.

1t is rather difficult to understand
how the Oregonian can praise Hon.
T. J. Black as champion of the
gold standard and hold him up as
an apostle of all that is good and
holy while it denounces John H.
Mitchell as renegade and an apos-
tate, an object too loathsome to be
recognized by decent and patritic
beiugs because he once voted foi
free and unlimited coinage of silver.
In the legislature of 1895 Mr.. Black
was one so-called democrat in the
legislature, who helped elect Nit
chell to the United States senate.
Had it not been for Mr.. Black and
his associates, Mitchell would have
been shelved I3 years ago.

THE APPROPRIATION.

The appropriation for Yaquina
Bay seems to be thoroughly hung
up. The house has refused to con-
cur in the senate amendment to the
sundry civil bill, appropriating
100000 for the work, but Senator
Mcbride has been able to hold the
amendment so far in the bill, but
whether he will be able to keep it
there or not is very problematical.
The chances for an appropriation
this year do not seem bright, All
the talk before the election seems to
have been simply so much bunco,
and the people bit on it. There is
very suspicious dearth oftelegram
messages, etc., about this work
since the election, and there is a
growing belief that it has not had a
sincere endorsement from our con-
gresham.
The opposition against the work
is pressing the matters as hard as
they can, and it is said that bill
will be introduced in the lower
house repeating the law authorizing
the contract to be made.
Now is the time when the people
want to make themselves heard in
this matter. This great work
should not be allowed to lapse after
all that has been done, and can yet
be done for the harbor. 1t is a vi
tai question to the great grain coun-
try of the Willamette valley.
