Are The Mines Giving Out Z

1t has become the fashion of late years
to iterate and reiterate, through the press
and otherwise, that the mines of Cal fornia
are exhausted. So often has this story
been published to the world, that one-half
OF the world accepts it as an established
truth, Notwithstanding the occular demon
stration to the contrary furnished by the
continuous stream of gold California pours
into the worlds treasures, and by which
the worlds commerce is sustained. The
sane story was told and believed fifteen
years ago, and will be told and believed a
hundred years hence. But century form
now the annual gold product of California
will be tar greater than it is now, or ever
has been. For every dollar that has been
extracted there remains million and, BY
the appliances of science and art, and the
systematizing of labor, the aggra gate Weld
will go on increasing year after year and
generation after generation Practically
and literally, the mines of California can
no more be exhausted Of Their precious
metals by the industry of man, than can
the waters Of the Pacific be exhausted of
their salt. And the one will not be done
before the other In the progress of
human events, when gold shall have lost
Its value, then our mines may be abandon
ed; but they can never be exhausted
When the population of this continent
shall have become five hundred millions,
the gold product of California will bear
the same relation to the whole population
and to the worlds commerce as it will
then be- that it now bears to the commerce
and population Of to-day Stockton Re
publican.

legislation without Politics.

We are progressive people and look
confidently about for improvements III
al new L ings-and prominent just now
the incoming Legislature shares our atten-
tion
The present condition of the mining
counties in this State. their residents bur
dened with taxes, which in same instances
exceed the actual rental OF money in other
States, is lesson to Legislators and the
people of every county which should not
be passed without consideration. These
burdensome debts, which expel capital and
enterprise, and retard the progress OF the
State, were all incurred in strict conformity
with law, or it is very certain their payment
would be evaded.
LEGISLATORS OF THE PAST.
7 A study of the class of men by whom
the laws were passed, which authorized
the creation of those debts, which have
brought counties to the verge of bankrupt
cy or reputation, will be exceedingly
instructive 1t will show that the people
of many counties are only reaping the re
suits Of their folly in selecting meE to act
as legislatures who were unqualified by age
or experience to manage any business
They could not expect better results.
The ability to frame laws to protect the
diversified interests Of so large IA State as
California, is not to be found among that
class who manage to make themselves USE
iul to the leaders of political parties; yet
it was largely from this class that Legislators
were formerly selected in every county in
the State The results, if not felt as Sc
verely in the commercial or agricultural, as
in the mining districts, are the same, and
must finally culminate in disaster.
The history Of ever, great swindle i'm
posed upon the people by legislative enact
ment, as we'll as of those that have been
prevented by the exposures OF the press,
are precisely alike. The prime movers in
the scheme for robbing the people 9 ac-
cording to law" have their associate agents
in all the counties interested. These agents
select ambitions, INSCRIPTIONS young men,
having but little, if any pecunary interest
in the State, who are nominated for the
Legislature at party conventions, and too
often elected. Such men, when in the
Legislature, are the docile, obedient crea-
lures of the clique that nominated them,
never needing the interests of the people
whose votes elected them.
There is not a county in the State but
has cause to regret having sent worthless
men to the Legislature to make laws
There is not a community that has not
record of some oi these fellows, who have
g sold out the people that honored them,
Scores, if not hundreds, of Z" members of
the Legislature OF this State-hailing from
the various counties from Siskiyou to San
Diego-can be counted, who never return
ed to their constituents.
In not few instances, honest, well mean
ing young men have been sent to the Leg
islature, to help them along in the world.
Their election has generally been their
ruin the corrupting influences with which
they come in contact, uniting them for
honest labor or business thereafter. Pro
fessional politicians are the worst kind of
law makers.

LEGISLATORS FOR THE FUTURE.

1t is earnestly hoped by every true
friend Of the State, that the Legislature
opening in Sacramento on Monday next,
prove an exception to the general rule. 1t
comes into power with great majority on
one side, and it is expected that it Will
exert its influence to further the materinl
interests of the'people. Let it guard its
political principles, but not at the expense
of the peoples rights, The financial, COM
mercial and productive resources of the
State are not as elastic and buoyant as in
days Of yoiN, and it is imperative that
there should be a greater economy in the
expenditure Of the public funds
Legislators my make an honorable rec
ord by holding a short session, passing as
few laws as possible, and those only to aid
in developing the latent resources of the
State. Swindling the people by special
legislation is curse that will entail defeat
rnd infamy on any political party. Give
us laws independent of politics--TS. f.
