All For " Sound Money"

A gentleman in New York writes
to his newspaper that he is paying
for his eggs precisely the same price
per dozen that he paid in 1876 and
cannot understand it. He ought to.
If he will look over New York news
papers price list in 1876. he will find
that gold was selling at a premium of
perhaps % per cent. over the legal
tender notes, which constituted the
money of the people at that time.
Now he pays in the same currency
which. by fiction of the law. is
called as good as gold" The differ
ence is that. in 1876 gold was at a
premium over paper. Now they
are, in theory. of the same value, but
ever since the denonetization of
silver, gold has carried an inflated
value, measured by all. the products
OF labor. and as the paper is re-
deemable in gold, it, too, has the
same inflated value.
The imitation of gold was 80 per
cent, measured By all forms of pro-
perty. save interestbearing securi-
ties. This had to be in so far as one
half of the world real money was
changed from primary money to a
commodity; the whole burden was
placed upon the other half, and that
it dOubled-that is. that all other
forms OF property. measured by it,
fell fifty per cent, was but the action
OF an inviolable law.
Is it not jolly to look back and re-
member how rejoiced the Eastern
people were to see their property fall
90 per cent. in value, in order to Sc
cure what those benevolent Eastern
interest-gatherers called Sound
money" That the great accumula-
tion of gold since has reduced, in this
country, the premium ON gold about
one half, or to about tho difference
between gold and legal tenders in
1867 out it still maintains its full
pcrmium when measured by the pro-
ducts of the Orient; hence our
export trade is killed to that
country while the Chinese can send
to us their silk and rice and wool and
iron and steel and all the multitude
of their products at prices which,
measured in money, are 80 per cent.
cheaper than they were in 1876. We
have seen exhibited by our congresses
and presidents and our great Eastern
press some wonderful craftsmanship
in these last twenty five years, have
we not, in order to secure sound
money!" But how much of that sound
money have you got?

OUR PUGET SOUND.
What Dr.. Woods Hutchinson a Well-known
New York Physician Says Of It,

When once we cross the summit of

California, the home of the giant red
woods. From one end to the other
it is the home of tall trees and tall
men, of the apple, the peach, the
prunc and the pine; the land OF the
green valley and rushing river. The
rosy pink of it's orchards every sprig
is equalled only by the sunset glow
upon its peaks of eternal snow. 1t is
the charmed land of the American

If you have never seen Oregon,
Washington or British Columbia in
the summer, or California in the
winter, you lack important qualiti-
tions for imagining what the climate
OF heaven may be like. And what
is no small matter to the invalid, who
needs abundant nutrition as well as
rest and exercise, is that all this
region from the Canadian line to the
Santa Clara mountains, fairly teens
with everything that is nutritious
and attractive in the line of fruits and
vegetables, fish and game, wheat, oil,
nuts, and the cattle upon a thousand
hills. Apples and salmon from tins
region have already an international
reputation and the only reason that
the cherries, apricots. peaches,
oysters, shad and crawtsh have not
