"rhe Poor We have with you Away. {,


During the discussion that has been going
on for the past two years as to the propriety
Of introducing Chinese labor to such an extent
that it will very materially reduce wages, it
seems as though we had forgotten the poor
There is a very large number of people in
every community who must labor for wages
They have not the capacity for handling
money only in very moderate sums, and are
content to earn u living through life, and,
dying, leave their families the heritage of a
good name and moderate education. There
are less Of this class in the Pacific States than
any other part of the country, but in old COM
munities they form n majority of the popula-
ton. Now, for whose benefit is this Govern
ment being run? Are We, in our endeavors to
add to the wealth of those who are already rich
enough, to forget that the poor are with us;
that they are in the majority; that it is this
class we should strive to raise up; that the
rich are too rich and the poor too poor2 We
were raised in the belief that this was "a Gov
eminent seeking 'the greatest good of the
greatest number" but not one word do we
hear for the poor men and women who must
labor day by day, for food for themelves and
families. What is going to be the effect upon
this class in reducing wages to twelve and
fifteen dollars per month? How much does it
cost the editor of the alta" or the Union"
to live; and how would they like to be forced
by the hard fate IF poverty to live on fifteen
dollars per month? "You have no fear of
that Certainly not; but what of the poor
man who is to-day laboring and knows that he
will be the same tomorrow and each succeed
ing day of his life? You will rejoice at the
coming of the hordes from the over-peopled
East, because you know it will enable you to
buy what you require cheaper than now, while
your pay will not be reduced II is more
riches to you who are now well enough off.
but it is greater poverty to those who are
already too poor. You cry out, retarded de-
veiopment," but for whose benefit are You
seeking this accelerated development. Capt.
tai don't particularly require it, for capital is
well enough off now, and unless the poor are
to be placed in more comfort the masses
better housed, fed, clothed and educated,
what beneht is 1t going to be to the State.
The strength of the State is in the comfort
and happiness of its people. When We advo-
cate the increase of wealth we should look
carefully to its distribution, for great wealth
in the hands Of a few is poverty, misery and
Ignorance to the masses, and corresponding
weakness to the State. Let us, then, not for
get that ''the poor are with us Away" that
they stand, with outstretched hands, implor
ing us not to cast them deeper into the gulf
of misery.

PLACER DsooNos At CoPE.-O. X. Johnson,
Judge kenney, and party. returned Tuesday
night from Cope. and brought more good news
from that favored land. Placer mines have
been discovered right in Cope district, and the
gentlemen who have returned believe that the
diggings are extensive. Mr.. Johnson showed
US the dust that came out Of seven pans,
taken of the top. There was about seventy
five cents worth in small grains. mingled with
fine black sand. The gold is of good quality.
pronounced by good judges to be worth Sl1
per ounce. There has not been prospecting
enough done yet TO determine the extent of
the diggings, but gold in paying quantities
appears to be evenly distributed over quite a
large section of country. The placers are on
the left side of the Owyhee river, and have
been traced for abOut one and half miles
along the hillside that slopes down to the
water. The gold is found in washed gravel
that is spread from two TO five feet thick over
the face of the hill. An abundance of water
can easily be brought from the Owyhee. as
the nver has an average fall of nearly one
hundred feet per mile. Judge kcnney brings
with him a collection of beautiful specimens
from the various lodeS of Cope.

WHICH Is CoMPLTMgNrED - The Saint

MORE LABoREEs WASrED.-The Commercial
Herald, of San Francisco, is loudly calling for
more laborers in California, and says of the
repining crops in that State:
mot less than 10, 600, 900 centals of wheat
are to be harvested. Millions of pounds of
grapes must be pressed and made into wines
and brandies. Large numbers of cocooneries
must be tended and nurtured. The products
Of our extensive orchards must be gathered.
Can we afford to let these vast treasures rot
and spoil? The country needs cheap
labor, and cheap labor it will have despite the
angered howlings of city mobs, or the fulmin
atoms of short-Sighted politicians"
With cheap emigrant cars on the railroad,
this want could be supplied in a few days from
the immense numbers which are arriving each
day in the East from Europe, without the ne
cessity Of further encouragement TO the cheap
labor of Asia. There will be enough and to
spare in the East of European emigrants to
supply all the wants of California could means
be devised for their transportation to the West.

that rust would injure many of the crops. and
some, under this impression, were induced to
cut their grain for hay. But. from what we
