Some time ago the 0regoniaI,, in re
aponse TO an inquiry made by one OF u
correspondents, said that silver 10 no
gold, but 10 promissory note writtei
on metal. The DRMocRAT. beng such
"fool" as not to be able to comprehend
the profuudlty of that assertion, took ths
matter up and showed that In l792 the
congress Of the. United States passed
law creating and providing for the coin
ing OF OF legal tender silver dollars, that
all the legislation Of this country from
that day to this, Except the ciaadestine
ly criminal legislation OF 1879 has been
confrmatory of the legislation Of 1902,
and today the silver dollar 10 as much
q legal tender for the payment OF debts
as gold is. The DkNocRAr further
showed that the government itself is
bound to receive silver in payment Of
duties on imports Notwithstanding the
Oregonian said come time ago that du-
ties had to be paid In gold) and all other
demands due the government. For al
this adherauee to the truths OF history,
past and current, the 0regonian calls II
a "fool". This Kind OF argument is the
last resort OF the man who has been
vanquished in an argument. With the
candid man 1t is much more desirable to
be right, even if he be fool, than to be
wrong, even II one be 90 vice as the edl-
tor of the 0reQonian. That paper made
no attempt whatever 10 answer what the
DEMocRAr said, but rssorted to calling
the DEadocRAT man q fool. Not q few re.
publicans hereabouts condemn the
course Of the 0regonian in attempting
to fortiiy the gold standard by misrepre
senting the simplest current truths. II.
one owes his neighbor $40 for . COW and
nffsr him in payment forty silver dollars
he seller accepts the tender without
question. II he offer him . promisso.y

Ms "fat" is money that
must ultimately be redeemed In Legal
ender money OF final redemption. :
here are only two kinds of money oi !

II some Of the 90 called great tinancier
would rack their brains to devise finan
cial schemes Of practical benefit to th
people the name oil 6nancieF would Il
in higher estimation. But their schem,
10 generally to get the advantage OF th,
people and roll up wealth out OF thell
necessities. Hence We find the city and
school district staggering under enor
mous interest burdens.
1t lie well-known fact that there ID
lying idle in this state about million
dollars OF state money belonging to diff
ferent school and land funds. The state
loans on real estate at 8 per cent. aud
suffers great losses from foreclosures, II
this money and the etate's idle money
were loaned to school districts at per
cent, as is done in Washington and Ne
braska, there would be many new school
houses built In Oregon IT that were the
Jaw and lees money lying idle:
In the same line. good financiering for
the people would suggest that city, use
cheap capital to operate its own water
and light plant, not taxing the private
suer any higher than he is now taxed,
but by getting lower rate Of interest
than any private corporation can obtain
q city can make its light and water plant
a source OF revenue, OF course, this is
only possible under good business admiR-
atration. But all cities might as well
drepare to put their affairs on q busi-
nees baeis or retire from the race of mod
ern municipal development.
For instance, our neighbor city of A..
hany has debt of about $1l5, ,0CO draw |
ing per cent. 10000 is bonded debt,
and warrents draw per cent, selling at
q discount OF from to 10 per cent. The
Albany school district has . debt of
about $4,000. The district has two fine
school houses to show for this. The
electric light plant is capitalized at
about $43, 600 and ON this the private
liz hting revenues pay about s per cent.
Our informant said that Tor IA incandes-
cents in his residence be paid $3.50 per
month, whether lights were used or not
making no difference. II the city owned
the plant, paying per cent on the in
the city would ge. lights lice
and make profit Of nearly $4,000 q
year. At present the city is without !,
Iights, the contract having expired and
no new agreement has bern reached.
rhe city has water power service, but
not very satisfactory one. There is
plenty Of water power going TO waste.
and If the city could refund Its debt at
about per cent, and borrow money at
hat rate to put in q water and light
plant both those branches of the public
Iervice could be made to pay a revenue
o the city.

VIRGINIA CAN BEAT NEBRASKA.
Commissioners Koincr Says Beet'
VIII DO Better Here.

W III 10 IttAtf ilffts
Virginia can raise finer sugar beets
than Nebraska can, and she can raise
them more cheaply."
This was the statement OF Commits
sicner-of-Agricultur Koiner to a Dis
patch writer yesterday. Commissioner
Koiner returned Saturday from Nebraska
where he went 20 look into the sugar
beet industry of that State, IN order that
he might secure information and dd.a
which would he useful 10 tho5e farmers
O, Virginia who are now contemplating
raising the beet 10 supply the factory
that viii be erected at tredericksourg.
MI Koiuer, after thoroughly going over
the field, and talking freely with many
of the farmers OF Nebraska whose living
depends upon this industry. came 90 the
conclusion that Virginia can raise finer
beet than the former state, and that, too,
at a smaller cost OF production. The rca-
son he gives for this is that the soil OF
this State is better adapted 20 growing
the sugar beet than is the soil IN Ne
braska, and the labor here Is cheaper.
The value OF the beet is determined by
the amount Of sugar IT contains and on
account Of the soil In the section Of The
country visited by Mr.. Koiner. The beet
there does not possess, In as nigh de-
gree, this essential quality. Notwiih-
standing this the farmers find II a profit
able business 10 cultivate the ocet and
many derive their only income from this
source. There are three sugar-beet fac
tories In the State Of Nebraska.
The Commissioner during his stay in
Nebraska. visited Norfolk. I'm which is
located probably the largest sugar-beet
! factory in the state. But Mr.. KOiner $
| business was chiefly with the farmers IN
that section who supply this great plant
with the product which enables it To man
uiacture the immense quantity Of sugar
! 10 sends out.
In regard TO the great and growing
West" Mr. KOiner says that IL Nebraska
IS "a fair sample. he prefers Old Virginia
every time lie thinks this state offers
more advantages TO the agricultuust than
do many OF the Western States through
which be passed. The farmers of Me-
hraska complain bitterly of the climate
of that State, especially dwelling upon
the hardships inflicted by the extremely
cold winters. during which both man and
beast suffer. Mr. Koiner did not fan 20
speak "a good word for Virginia whel-
ever the opportunity presented itself,
which was quite often, and as a result
he thinks that not a few residents Of
| Nebraska are seriously considering the
| question Of settling in the old Dominion.
! Some of them are men Of considerable
| mCGns.
