THE BULLION TRADE.
The Elko Independent of October 10Th, re-
ferrinp tO the hnllion trade ar that placa saws. :.

The Elko Independent of October 10Th, re.
ferring to the bullion trade at that place, says:
The immense stacks Of crude metal that can be
seen at any time the platforms of our spacious
warehouses naturally attract the attention of passers
by. This trade has sprung up within the last few
months, and has already grown into great import
ance. The cost of transporting the metal from the
smeters in White Pine is from $13 to $15 per ton.
From here to the separating works in Newark, n j.,
the cost of transportation is: to Ogden, $15 in coin.
per tom and from there on, S275, in currency, per
car load of ten tons. To San Francisco the railroad
charges are SIG, in coin, per ton OD ore and bullion.
The bullion carries from $3.50 to S400 per ton in silver
The bullion must pay well to transport it
such distance. It appears from the above
extract that the cost, per ton, of transporting
the ore from the mine to the reduction works
Newark, New Jersey, is at least $62 so. If
the ore pays as we'll as stated, from $15O to
$500 per ton, it is no wonder the bullion trade
is growing into great Importance. The erec-
ton of smelling and reduction works at Omaha,
as is now in contemplation, will, by reducing
the distance of transportation more than one
half, largely increase the profits of the miners
and shippers, and will materially forward the
uO'SAoPAhOut VI OUuCi LuIlCo UudU cCCblUu
the country, as we'll as along the line of the
railroad generally. Should the branch road
be built down through Snake river valley, we
can safely predict that mines in Boise and AL
turas counties, which are now lying idle and
considered as rather poor property, will be
again opened, and with the increased facilities
for the shipment of ores to the east for reduc-
ton, the bullion trade of Idaho would soon
loom up as one of the most important branches
of industry in the Territory. Should our ores
prove as rich as those of White Pine, Battle
Mountain, or other districts in the neighbOr-
hood of the railroad and we are satisfied they
will, capital will not be wanting wherewith to
erect the necessary smelling works at Boise
City, and thereby save the sixty or seventy
dollars per ton, lost to the owners as the cost
of transportation. If the ores will pay profit
after being shipped such distance as the crude
bullion is now shipped from Elko, it would pay
well enough to justify capitalists in erecting the
necessary works nearer to the mines.

CHANGED FRONT.

CHANGED FRONT.
One of the latest and most cheeky iliustra-
tions of Peter denying his Master" is to be
found in an article in the Oregonian of October
11th. The anxiety OF the Radicals to concili-
ate foreigners, or at least to take what is con-
sidered the strong side in reference to the Eu-
ropean war, in the hope Of thereby securing
the German vote, is plain to even the most
careless observer of passing events. Wendell
Phillips, the great headlight of the Radical
train, has seen proper, in the exercise of his
own judgment, and independent of party con-
siderations, to publish fierce attack on Ger
many, Bismarck and King William, and in it
denounces pretty freely the spirit of aggran-
dizement which is so plainly manifested by the
German or Prussian Cabinet in SO persistently
refusing to negotiate with the French Repub-
llcan authorities on the question of an armis-
tice or peace. Wendell's course and views on
the war are, therefore, at variance with the
majority of his political disciples, and the well
fare of their party demands that these Had
vised and impolitic utterances of their great
leader should be explained away in some man
ner. In speaking of the terrible philippe Of
Wendell, arraigning Germany in general, the
article referred to closes as follows:
Not only is Wendell Phillips not Republican, but
party candidate for Governor Of Massachusetts,,
q sort Of labor reform platform which Democrats
pretend to think very much against the Republican
nominee. Happy idea; to try and hold the Republi-
can party responsible for the utterances of such
man!
If Wendell Phillips is not Republican we
think the Oregonian is about the first paper in
the country that has communicated the fact to
the public, and 1T will no doubt be as much
matter of surprise to Mr.. Phillips as it is to
the people to know that he is not a Republican.
We suppose, if such is really the case, that
then there is no such party as Republican or
Radical party; the name is misnomer; and
as Mr.. Phillips is not Republican or Radi-
cal, then those who entertain opinions in oppo-
sitlon to the Democracy are neither Republi-
cans nor Radicals. A new name is necessary,
and we suggest that of " Phillipian." 1t has
been the policy of all opponents of Democracy,
in order to deceive the people, to adopt new
and high-sounding cognomen when their old
name has become odious in consequence of
their principles and teachings being repudiated
by the people. Know Nothing. Union, Repub-
lican, Union Republican, and Radical, have
each in succession served their turn; and as
recent elections indicate that the latter name
is also becoming odious change of base will
doubtless be made, and we think sense of
gratitude to their leader should cause them to
assimlate their new party name to something
approaching his

EDrToRs LEDGER: We see a state

is calculated to mislead the public. The

first, that the company has no legal OK.
istence; second, it did not organize ac-
cording to the charter; third, the sub
scriptions were not duly stamped-upon
which the Gas Company took q nom
suit. Now the truth of the matter lie
this: every defense SET mp by the DEFEND
ant, Read, except the last, was disre-
garded by the Court, and the existence
of the Gayoso Gas Company, and the va
lidity of its organization, recognized, as
they have been, in all proceedings decided
by the courts. The Gayoso Gas Com
psny did enter non-suit, but only be-
cause Judge Swsyne decided adversely on
the stamp question, and Immediately
made its motion of record to vscate
the same The stamp question was
simply the fact that no internal
revenue stamp was affixed to the sub
scription of Reid. The company believe
that the court was in error, and will,
when the proper time comes, endeavor to
convince the people and the courts of the
fact. What we desire now is to inform
the public that no question was adjudi.
Gated in this matter against the Gsyoso
Gas Company save taat subscription
for stock in a chartered institution must
be stamped under the internal revenue
laws of the United States, Colonel CAN'T
was not present at the trial, ss he was
then engaged in the Criminal Court-he
Colonel Gantt) had been expected to be
present at the trial, and the counsel who
were present on behalf of the Gas Com
psny were taken by surprise, as the stamp
question had never been limited at in the
pleadings or otherwise before the trial.
We conducted the trial before the court,

The Ietter-carriers of the postal system
are hard working set Of men, charged
with great responsibilities, required to
give bopd Of one thousand dollars, aud
yet they only receive the meagrs salary
OF six hundred dollars per annum. Un-
der the regulations Of the Department,
they are required to uniform themselves
out of their pay. This is starvation
almost. The result is that in Memphis il
is difficult to keep competent carriers
A man who is good carrier, and able
to give bond, can soon find q situation
worth more than fifty dollars per month.
The work is very arduous and exacting.
The carriers haveto be up before day |;
those in the business portion of the city
make four trips per day. A bill has been
offered in Congress, aud referred to the
proper committee, for the relief Of
letter-carriers, which we trust will be-
come law. II provides that they shall
be paid twelve hundred dollars per year.
This is o reasonable compensation, and
