WOULD COIN SILVER
PLAN TO RELIEVE
MONEY sTRINGENCY.
Senator Guggenhelm OF Colorado
Suggests Plan by Which the Gov
ernment May at Once Relieve the
Money Situatlon-Slngle Gold STAN
dard Is Inadequate to Business
Needs.

The Boise Capital News says of
Senator Guggenhelm's plan to have
the government coin a few millions
in silver to relieve the money strin-
gency:
Senator Guggenheim OF Colorado,
is fathering a new silver agitation
for the purpose of increasing the
amount Of cash in the country.
Senator Guggenheim's proposition
is to have the government purchase
in the open market $50. 1000. 900 Of sill
yer bullion and to Immediately coin 1t
into silver dollar and half dollar
pieces. He estimates that this would
place into general circulation the
50,000,000 at once and about $780,
100000 in the newly coined silver
total increase Of $4,000. 900.
That 1t would be of immense value
to the western states to have the gov
ernment purchase this amount of sill
yer, needs no argument. That 1t
would also benefit the country
through the increase In the money
supply and incidentally through the
added prosperity to the west. also
needs no argument-in the west.
But that is where the difficulty
comes in. The east absolutely refuses
to recognize silver under any circum-
stances Right or wrong, they took
their stand on unalterable opposition
to silver, and right or wrong. they
are going to remain there. They are
more obstinate in their hatred to the
white metal than has ever been
known from American people on any
other question.
The north could forgive the south
for secession and the resulting blood
shed and loss, and the south could
forgive the north for forcing freedom
upon its slaves and for devastating
its fields and homes in maintenance
OF the union, but eastern people can
never relent toward silver-not even
II they knew they were wrong
A year ago the government felt the
necessity for small change which has
always been made from silver. They
were out of silver and went into the
market to purchase some. Immedi-
ately the new demand made silver go
up until II reached the highest point
in years-a point where II even be-
came profitable to operate some of
the old abandoned silver mines of
the west.
But soon It was announced that
the price had reached point be-
yond which the government did not
propose to let It go, and purchases
were discontinued, and the country
has suffered from lack of change
ever since and still suffers
The government may consent to all
manner of foolish schemes to increase
the supply Of money so long as the
great New York banks receive the
benefit, but 1t will never consent to
such simple plan as that suggested
by Senator Guggenheim.

POLICE FIND STOLEN GOODS.
Missing Overcoat and Several Flannel
Shirts Found.

Cached away behind the Missouri
blacksmith shop the police found
George H. Dreher's overcoat yester-
day afternoon. With the coat were
six new flannel shirts that had also
evidently been stolen, probably from
a freight car as the garments bear no
price marks. The men working at
the blacksmith shop say they saw a
man drop a bundle behind the shop
and identify the man now under ar
rest as the fellow.
An indictment charging the pris-
oner with larceny from building
will likely be filed tomorrow against
the alleged thief. who so far has not
divulged his name.

In point of weight the visiting team
has slight advantage over the Pen
dleton eleven. They average 156
pounds. while the Pendleton boys
average 1853. Also, the visitors have
the advantage in experience, for by

they have had opportunities for more
good games this season than have the
local boys.
