A Timely Suggestion.
ED. GAzETTE:

ED. GAZETTE: -- ..-- ~
What a pity it is that there are
no seats in that fine park around
the Court House. Now, for in
stance, many an aged person
would welcome an opportunity
to sit down and rest in travelling
along the streets about the Court
House square.
There is the location in the
center of the town, fine shade
trees, and all the necessities OF a
beautiful park, excepting the
walks and the seats. The ex-
pense of doing this would be
nominal, if any at all, and many
persons who come to town, and
others who live here, and who
furnish the money to keep the
county going, would be very
clad to see seats conveniently
placed under those shade trees,
and have a chance to use them.
Yours truly

Sad News.

A week ago Mrs. Mary Webber
received a telegram from Mt. Gle
mems, Mich, which announced the
drowning of her eight-year-oid
grandson, Perry Irish. A letter
followed few days later giving
an account of the sad accident.
It appeared that the party had
strayed away from home and fell
into the company of a party OF boys
and went in swimming. He ven
tured beyond his depth and the
child screamed for assistance. His
companions were not able to rescue
him and he sank to rise no more.
The body was quickly recovered
and for over three hours the father
worked in an effort to resuscitate
the child. It will be remembered
that Mrs. Irish spent the greater
part of last summer in Corvallis,
visiting relatives, and this bright
little fellow accompanied her.

Gone to Hunt.

The open season on deer began
Sunday July Is, and in order to not
miss a shot a number of Corvallis
ties departed for the different
ranges of deer. The first party
to start out consisted Of R. L. Glib
son, Punderson Avery, Jos. Yates
and NatStewart They left Thurs
day for Grass Mountain, the place
that has been the scene of former
triumphs. They left before the
open season in order to reach their
destination and get their camp COM
fortably established before July
the 18th. This company is composed
of vete, an hunters and if venison is
in the mountains they will have it.
It would be hard to tell what might
happen to a nice juicy buck had
he showed up when the party were
en- route to Grass Mountain; even
though it lacked day or so OF the
open season.
About a. m. Saturday morning
the town was the scene of considera-
BILE commotion, oecasioned by the
departure of another party Of
hunters. This party consisted OF
Sheriff Burnett, E.. R. Bryson, Ned
Smith, Julian McFadden and Asa
Alexander. They will hunt il. the
neighborhood of Marys Peak. They
went we'll prepared for hunting
trip, and they had wagon load
of articles necessary for a successful
hunt. Their outfit consisted OF
salt and other things. Each man
was armed to the teeth and wore
spurs. They had a saddle horse
each and will run their game down.

A LIFE LOST.
Team RaH;Away III Albany, Friday, ard
Caused Death.

| Caused Death.
By his coolness and good
horsemanship Austin Laferty,
whose parents reside in this city,
and who is we'll known here, un-
doubted saved his life a few.
days ago. He is now employed
in the livery stables of A. j.,
Miller, OF Albany, but prior to
going there he was in charge of
the brick stable in Corvallis.
Mr.. and Mrs. Henry Ramsey,
of Arlington, arrived in Albany
Friday noon and a couple Of
hours latter they engaged a rig
at the Miller stables and started
for the home of their daughter,
Mrs. J. c. Hardnlan, who resides
near Tallnan. Austin Lafferty
was to drive the team. The
horses were very spirited and be-
gan to run as soon as the party
started out. They were stepped
and Mr.. and Mrs. Ramsey got
out of the vehicle, but soon over
came their fright and climbed in
again. Once more the animals
started to run, and, one of those
unforeseen accidents occurred
that resulted in-disaster. One OF
the bride bits broke and the
team became almost un1nanage-
able, and tore away like mad.
MI. Ramsey became alarmed
and jumped out, striking on his
head and shoulders.
Against the re1nonstrance OF
Mr.. Laferty, Mrs. Ramsey
jumped out and struck ON the
| back of her head. She
rolled some distance and was
picked up unconscious. She
was cared for by the best physi,
clans, but it was found that hel
skull was fractured, her right
arm broken and she was injured
internally. She did not regair
consciousness before her death,
which occurred at Ago P. III.
Mr.. Ramsey's shoulder and
arm were badly bruised, deer
cut was found in his head and il
was thought that he had sus-
tanned internal injuries. Austin
Laferty succeeded in stopping
the team within block of where
Mrs. Ramsey sprang from the
rig, and had she needed his
warning against jumping out she
would have escaped uninjured.
! AS the result of Mr.. Ramsey's
injuries, he remained in semi,
conscious state for hours. Nc
blame can be attached to anyone
for the runaway and much credit
is due Mr.. Laferty for his pres
|ence of mind. Corvallis citi-
zens will remember that Mrs. W.
P. Laferty, of this city, mother
! of Austin, figured in runaway
while visiting in Albany, luckily
escaping uninjured.
Mr.. and Mrs. Ramsey formerly
resided in Linn county and this

would otherwise have been :

The Main Issue.

There will be other issues, and very
vital ones, involved in the campaign
of 1900, but the battle royal that will
be waged in every' state of this union
will be the same that it was in 1896
the battle of the standards. You
fellows seem to fatter yourselves that
that issue was settled forever in your
favor in the election of 1896, but you
forget that no question submitted to
the ballot is ever settled among the
American people until it is settled
right. The so-called decision in your
favor was not fairly won, and so sure
as there is God of justice who reigns
in Heaven and rules in the affairs of
men on earth, that decision will one
day be reversed by an overwhelming
majority of the American people

The Monetary Problem.
HOW IT WORKS.
The Gold Standard and the New Pres
ident of the s.NafionaI sound
Money League"

John K. Cowen, of Baltimore, haa
been elected president of the so-called
National Sound Money league" of
the United States. Mr.. Cowen is thus
the president of the great organiza-
party to eternally fasten the gold
standard upon the people of the Unit
ed States, and unalterably opposes
the free coinage of silver. The paper
called Sound Money, the organ of the
Sound Money league, in noticing Mr..
Cowen's election, says: He grad
uated from Princeton in 1872, and be
came connected with the Baltimore &
Ohio railway in the law department,
and he, in 1876, became chief counsel,
which position he held for 90 years.
and when it fell into financial diff
culties he was appointed receiver.
This is an elegant record for the
president of the Sound Money league.
1t will be seen that Mr.. Cowen be-
came connected with the B. & o. in
1872. The demonstration of silver
occurred in 1878; and from that date
the great B. & o. Railway company,
under the guidance of head counsel
Cowen, began to shrink and dwindle
until it fell into the hands of Re
ceiver John K. Cowen, who subse-
quently was elected president of the
company and is now elected president
of the Sound Money league. One of the
greatest financial organizations the
world has ever known, built up by the
industry of Mr.. Garrett, under a BIZ
metallic system of money and by
legitimate means, went into the hands
of the bondholders in about 90 years
under a gold standard system and
under the direction of the head coun-
sci, who is now chosen president of
the Sound Money league. Words are
inadequate to do the subject justice.

American People Favor BimetalIism

When the leaders of gold monomet-

tions, prophecies, with unlimited
money, with desertions from our par
ty, and with soothing promises of
internal tional bimetallism," they
thought the battle over and the "sil-
YER craze" forever killed. But they
may learn from their own platform of
1892 that 1.-THE American people from
tradition and interest favor bimetal-
lism." The people now see clearly
that they were buncoed in 1896 with
false promises, and now, feeling bold.

gress. dares to proclaim its purpose

BAD FINANCIAL JUDGMENT.
shown by the Party I'm Power AdheF-
tnE to the Unnecessary
stamp Tax.

The stamp taxes, which were i'm
posed solely as means of raising war
revenue, and which were to be dig
continued at the conclusion of our
troubles with Spain, are still helping
to roll a needless money surplus into
the treasury at the rate of So, 6,00O, 900
a month.
Secretary Gage, who is consistently
wrong on every money proposition,
contended that the surplus would not
amount to more than $4O,O00,OOO in
the year. The figures since given out
by the treasury department show
that it will amount to $50 100000.
The administration is either money
mad or purblind. There is no neces-
sity for such a colossal cold-storage
of the nations money. 1t is not only
foolish, it is dangerous. Secretary
Gage cannot follow his plan of pur-
chasing bonds and paying this sur
plus out in premiums forever.
Similar treasury conditions in the
past have led to serious money striA-
gency, and even panics. The accur&
ulation of $S0,O00,000 annual surplus,
or double the estimated amount.
makes the immediate repeal of some
of the present taxes imperative.
What kind of financial judgment is
that which takes almost a hundred
million dollars from the people
through needless taxes and then pro-
poses to issue new bank currency to
the amount of 500, ,0O0, 900 to increase
circulation and make money plenti-
full?
Repeal those parts of the war rev
enue law that unnecessarily harass
the public, and let some of the worst
of the tariff duties go with them

A FARMERS POINT OF VIEW.
r,,a Nancy Question as am Intelligent
and Observant Missouri Agri-
cuIturist Sees 1t.

Seeing a request in your paper from
@S.,o of Franklin county. No., desiring
Information on the financial question
from a farmers standpoint, conclud-
ed to write few lines in that direc-
ton, says subscriber to the. Journal
of Agriculture. We do not claim to
possess knowledge superior to our
brother farmers in this respect, but
have often heard said the financial
question was so deep and intricate that
the common people could not under
stand it. We think different. All we
need to know is what money is and its
uses, and from whence its supply
should come.
Money is simply measure of values,
or medium of exchange, that COM
merce can be carried on in all its yarl-
Gus branches. Money has been termed
the blood of commerce" So we see
how important it is to have supply
sufficient for all demands; and as me-
tallic money has been the basis OF all
circulating mediums since time I'M
memorial. and gold and silver circu-
lated side by side in all civilized ma
tions, we see no good cause to drop one
and retain the other, as cheap money
is the desire of all that earn it by labor,
that is the greatest amount of money
in return for the least amount OF labor.
We think there are but two classes
benefited by dear money in this or any
other country-people with fixed sal
aries and the money lender-aH others
are far better off when money is cheap,
= hot than the
one proposed by bimetallism. Gold
and silver admitted to the mints on an
equal footing discharging the same OBJ
legations debtor making choice OF
which is to be used), accompanied with
paper money issued by the government,
irredeemable (unless mutilated, then
to be reissued by the government).
PAYABLE for all demands public and
private I am one of those who think
it impossible for metallic money to
supply a medium to carry on the trade
of the world, hence the absolute neces-
sity of a paper currency; and, if fur
nished from the proper resource, by
the government-that means the peo-
pie that compose the governmental
would be far better than any metal
money and much more convenient, and
in the course of time would command a
premium over all other moneys, for
convenience sake if nothing else.
How could we have better circulating
medium than that backed by the pro-
ductive capacity of 100000 of peo-
pie? the most intelligent, get-up-and-
go-ahead people on the globe. The
most serious objection we have to the
Chicago platform is the redemption
clause in the money plank or financial
plank. When we acknowledge that a
thing is to be or must be redeemed we
acknowledge its inferiority to that
with which it is to be redeemed. So If
the redemption clause of the last dem
ocratic platform be stricken out, we
see no good cause why all working peo.
pie cannot unite on w. J. Bryan and
give him the largest popular vote ever
recorded in this country.
