The wings have determined, either virtually TO refuse
supplies of money to the war, TO force protective
system down the throats of the people. They seem
willing to reject the scheme of the treasury, wel-con
sdeed it is They talk of refusing treasury notes,
and then they will urge an increase of the tariff and the
substitution of of the worst features of the tariff of
1912. The people ought TO understand these designs;

he told gentlemen Of the South he did not
think The North ever would permit territory
now free to be made slave territory. What
this unnatural union between the North and
the South, which had resulted in the cleo
ton Of General Taylor, might bring forth,
however, it was impossible TO tell; what
might result from some Of these compromises
which they were willing to adopt, remained
TO be seen. Under the non-inierference doc
trine-the old Democratic platform slavery
would never have gone into New Mexico
and California; but agitate The question,
bring it up in Congress, and no man could

The California Gold.

We make the following extracts from Colo
mel Mason's depatch. dated Monterey, Au-
gust II, 1913, describing the visit he made
TO the gold mines of the Sacramento, in the
beginning of July. Col. Mason left the gar
rison at Monterey on the 18th of June. He
says:
We reached San Francisco on the Goth,
and found that all, or nearly all, its male in
habltants had gone to the mines. The town,
which a few months before was SO busy and
thriving, was then almost deserted. On The
evening Of the 24lh, the horses of The escort
were crossed TO Sousoleto in a launch, and
on the following day We resumed the jour
ney by way of Bedega and Sonoma 10 SUIT
ter's Fort, where we arrived on the morning
of the I'd of July. Along the whole route,
mills were lying idle, fields of wheat were
open TO cattle and horses, houses vacant, and
farms going to waste. AtSulter's ;here was
more life and business. Launches were dis
charging their cargoes at the rlveT, and carts
were hauling goods TO the fort, where already
were established several stores, a hotel, &c.
Captain Suffer had only two mechanics in
his employ, "a wagon-maker and a black.
smith,) whom he was then paying ten dol,
lars a day. Merchants pay him a monthly
rent Of one hundred dollars per room anC
whilst was there, a two-story house in thu
fort was rented as a hotel for five hundred
dollars a month.

THE ANTI-SLAVERY BUGLE

Is published every Friday, at Salem, Cotuni-
bfdna Co., Ohio, by the Executive COMMITTEE

which advocates secession from pro-slavery
governments and pro-slavery church organl-
cations. It is Edited by BENJAMIN \. and j..
ELIzAsrTH JONES'; and while urging upon the
people the duty of holding "No union with
Shareholders" either in Church or State, as
the only consistent position an Abolitionist
can occupy, and as the best means for the de-
struction of slavery it will, SO far as its lin
its permit, give a history of the daily progress
of the anti-slavery cause-exhibit the policy
and practice of Shareholders, and by facts and
arguments endeavor 10 increase the zeal and
activity Of every true lover Of Freedom. In
addition to its anti-slavery matter, it will
contain general news, choice extracts, moral
tales, &c. 1t is to be hoped that all the friends
Of the Western Anti-Slavery Society-all the
advocates of the Disunion movement, will do
what they can to aid in the support Of the
paper, by extending its circulation. You
who live in the West should sustain the pa
