AGAINST FOREST RESERVES

Hon. John Mimic, IA pioneer OF Oregon,
delivered lecture recently in which he
took strong grounds against forest re-
serves. The rights OF settlers, he said,
were being trampled under foot bv the
setting apart of these great bodies OF tim
Der lands. In the state there are 10000
600 acres Of timber lands--6 900 900 handy
to communities and available for fuel and
building purposes. The annual estl-
mated growth, board measure. was q
600 900 900 feet and the consumption was
$40 O0O, 0Ol feet. The natural decay Of
this vast timber supply was annually
worth at IS per thousand Sl7,0OO,0OO
The value Of the timber OF Oregon was
equal to the value OF fifty successive wheat
crops, and for so vast a resource to be
locked up in government reserves, he de-
clared was hostile to the free develop
ment and material advancement OF the
country. These timber lands offered
homeseekers and milling men opportunity
that the reserves prevented men from
grasping.
Further objection to the reserves was
that by them stockmen were banlshed
from great food supply for their herds.
The sheep did no damage to the timber,
improved the land by making it more
compact and better adapted to retaining
moisture and providing for the wash on
to low lands OF improved soil. The dozen
or So OF people who secured the setting
apart OF the reserves. he said, proposed
to have the latter guarded by forest
guard as soon as the latter could be
trained. and meantime they hoped 10
have the regular army detail a guard OF
soldiers to keep stockinen and others from
the reserve. This, he thought, was fol-
lowing the example OF Germany, where
5000 foresters were maintained at the
public expense in guarding the govern
ment forest equal in size to the Cascade
reserve. He was unwilling to be taxed
for maintenance of such a guard that pro-
posed 20 keep settlers out OF their rights,
and save the great timber lands probably
for de&gning and siasping corporations.
Mr.. Mirto thought the reserves, il any
were to be maintained, should be set
apart only by state governments West

WASHINGTON LETTER.
From Our Regular Correspondent
Washington. Feb. IS, 1898.

Washington, Feb. IS, 1898.
How much longer Congress can stand
the strain which has been imposed upon
it by the action, or rather non-action OF
the administration upon the destruction
of the hattleship Maine and the killing OF
$50 Of its men, in Havana harbor, with
out an explosion, is problematical. Mr..
Mckinley has disappointed many OF his
supporters, and nothing but the unwrtten
law under which Congress has always
supported the president in all questions
of policy affecting a foreign nation has
prevented an outbreak before this. In
asmuch as there are probably not 80 men
in Congress who do not believe that the
Maine was blown up intentionally, it is
difficult to understand why Mr.. McKin-
ley and the secretary OF the navy should
so persstently assert their belief that the
awful calamity was the result OF an acct
dent on board the Maine. The naval at
tache Of the Spanish Legation, has
publicly annou need the same belief, and
added that the accident was the result OF
carelessness and lax discipline. Ye gods .
and this meddlesome fool has not been
sent after de LONE. 1t could have been
understood ii Mr.. Mckinley and his sec.
rotary Of the navy had said that they had
no opinion to offer in advance OF the find
ing Of the naval court OF inquiry, which
has been appointed to investigate the
awful affair but why they sh Guild take a
position that is a reflection upon Captain
Sigsbee and the other brave officers OF
the Maine, is only explainabe upon the
theory that they are afraid OF offending
Spain, and that in the event OF the failure
to find direct and conclusive evidence
that the Maine was blown up by Spanish
treachery. Captain Sigsbee is to he made
scapegoat. 1t was the general opinion
in Congress that Nj Mckinley should
have ordered the entire L. s. fleet low
off the coast Of Florida, to Havana har-
Dor, to remain during the investigation,
but so far, not even single warship has
been ordered there. Secretary Long says
that one will be. 1t is not surprising

GOLDBUG INCONSISTENCY.

The average goldbug editor will en-
deavor to put up some sort OF an argument
even though he has to contradict himself
in the same article. The editor OF the
Iowa State Register got into that kind OF
Il dilemma in recent issue, notwithstand-
inc we know he endeavois to be truthful
in all his utterances. The editorial in
question was an attempt to answer some
monetary questions that had been pro-
pounded, from which we quote two
questions and answers:
Q-Why did the resumption act make
paper money redeemable in coin instead
of gold?
Ans.-We have practically been on the
gold standard since 1858 and "coin'' in
1873 meant gold or silver maintained on
the gold basis. By the policy OF our gov
eminent then, as now, the silver dollar
was as good as gold. Our obligation is
to pay every Coin debt in gold or in
the equivalent OF gold.
Well, now, that is funny, most as
funny as Bro. Pattison's financial edi.
torials in the Cosmopolis Enterprise. "By
the policy OF our government then, 1873
as now, the silver dollar was as good as
gold" All, Most authorities agree that
then the silver bullion in 6 silver dollar
was worth three cents more than the gold
bullion in a gold dollar, and ii either
metal was maintained" it was the gold
maintained on a silver basis; but that
Acknowledgement would contradict the
statement in the answer quoted that eve
have practically been on the gold STAN
dard since 1873" Again:
Q.-Why was the silver dollar made
the unit of value?
Ans.-It was not made the unit OF val
lie. The dollar by the act OF 1892 was
made the unit. The law also provided
that there should be Is times as much
fine silver in the silver dollar as there
was fine gold in the gold dollar
Well. Well. so the DOLLAR was the
unit OF value. We will also call Bro Pat
tison's attention to that, reminding him
that the editor Of the Register is one OF
the ablest, staunchest Republicans in the
state OF Iowa. That is not only direct
contradiction to Bro. Pattison's assertion
that the gold in the gold dollar is THE
standard, but is also a contradiction o.
the first answer quoted which virtually
says the gold in tie gold dollar is the
standard.
Ii the DOLLAR was the standard or unit
in 1892, no matter whether it was made
OF silver or OF gold, why is not the DOLLAR
the standard in 1898? But, pshaw, there
wasn't any Republican party then at
tempting to destroy half the money Of
the people, and at the same time trying
to make the majority OF their followers
believe they wouldn't do such thing for
all the world.
