IS IT TO OR ADDING TO?

The San Diego World kindly states
to some of its cotemporaries-among
them the HERALD that they are
under misapprehension on the cur
rency imitation question, and proceeds
to inform the benighted that the
proposition is not to add $4O0, 900
to the currency issued, but to increase
the sum to that amount. That is what
we thought, but "Sally loud it was
worrums." We will remark within
the hearing of the San Diego tinan-
cier that if the proposed imitation is
carried out its effect upon the future is
a virtual increase of the currency just
$500, 100000. II the inflationists do
not succeed, We shall move in the OPP
posite direction and, obeying the
wishes of the people, call in the $685..
10000 now on the market. But if in
fiation is determined upon, the rising
generation, which should never see a
bit of this painted paper, every piece
of which carries lie on its face and is
itself weakener of public credit, will
have 100000, 900 of it to handle with
loss and to prompt the calling down
of curses on the heads of those who is
sued it. We call this increasing the
currency $500, 900, 0O0-causing the ex-
istence of that amount at time when
without initiation not a greenback
would exist.

A GREAT MINERAL BELT.

The recent discovery of rich mineral
deposits in Holcomb valley, which is
located in the Sierra range, a little over
one hundred miles southeast of this
city, and at other points north and
south, tend to confirm the opinion long
held by old and experienced miners,
that the belt of auriferous soil which
was discovered at Colema, in Ell Do
RADIO county, extends through the
southern end of this State, through
Arizona and on down into Mexico.
The goldbearing quartz ledge recently
discovered in Holcomb valley bids fair
to prove the greatest mass of gold
yielding rock yet discovered in Cali
fornia, while the placer mines in the
same vicinity prospect as high AS the
early discoveries of Placer county.
The Holcomb valley mines will draw
thousands of prospectors to the local
ity, and as the warm weather of Sum-
IuCI ulClJc ODC SllOW thC iAiouh-
tains and renders travelling possible,
they will spread out north and south,
and the discovery of new, rich and ex-
tensive mines will follow. 1t is not
unreasonable to predict that in the
near future extensive mining will be
carried on in continuous chain from
Mariposa to Prescott. The develop
ment of our mining wealth has been
but fairly commenced. The millions
already realized are but the smallest
fraction of the millions yet to come.
Possibly during the next twelve
months thousands of miners will be at
work within one hundred miles of Los
Angeles. They are coming in large
numbers, and so far the prospect for
finding rich placer and inexhaustible
quartz mines is more than encour-
aging.

NEvADA'S SENATORS.

Senator Jones of Nevada is rich
man without ostentation; Senator
who is one of the people. Six years
ago he was defeated on the Gorham
ticket for Lieutenant Governor, and
came out of the campaign without
money and several thousand dollars
in debt. To-day he is wealthy man
and holds seat in the United States
Senate which he is filling with honor
to himself and credit to his constitu-
ents. His great and unanswerable
argument against the imitation of cur
rency has placed him among the lead
ers of the Senate and has won for him
the good opinion of the people. The
difference between Jones and his
colleague, Stewart, is distinct and
great. One was rich when he became
a Senator, the other grew rich after
his election. One has avowed himself
the defender and advocate of the peo-
ple's rights, the other has stood and
still stands conspicuous as the petit
logger of grasping corporations and
blighting monopolies. The official
career of the two Senators is distinctly
marked and widely different-as cred
liable to Jones as it is sure to return
Stewart to the shades of private life.
If Senator Jones continues as he has
commenced, and as We believe he will
continue until the end of his term, he
will be the unanimous choice of his
State to succeed himself.

THE noted bandit, Vasquez, has
seemed ubiquitous for some time past.
simultaneously We heard of him in all
parts of the State. At one and the
same time he was in San Diego, Sis
kiyou, San Francisco and Mexico.
There is no doubt about his locality on
last Thursday morning. He was so
close to this city as to seriously affect
the nerves Of some of our timid citi-
gems. He came, robbed and escaped.
The career of this ottlaw has been re-
markable. His end will be sudden
and bloody, like that Of Joaquin Muri-
eta, whose daring acts and dark deeds
he apparently aims to initiate. For
tune has favored him so far. He has
been pursued and at times almost
hunted down by cunning, brave and
determined men. But his lucky star
was in the ascendant, and he has up
to this time eluded the fatal shot that
Is bound to close his career.

TINE FARMER AS He WAS AND IS.

No class of the worlds common
wealth has received less compensa-
ton for the labor performed than that
whose occupation is tilling the soil.
This is so not because mother earth
has failed to yield bountiful return
for the labor of those who follow the
plow, but because the fruit of their
toll has always been sold for less than
its value. Between the sale by the
producer and the purchase by the con-
sumner is where the money is made on
the products of the farm. The farmer
plodded along seemingly unconscious
that he could do other than raise a
crop and sell it for the ruling market
rates. 1t did not occur to him that he
might do something in the way of en-
HANGING the price of his farm products
and he never unused on the possibility
of his being the victim of combina-
ton effected for the sole purpose of
buying his stuff for fifty per cent less
than it would cost the consumer. He
heard of stock rings, bank rings, in
surance rings, land rings, railroad
rings, political rings and many other
rings, but it took him a long time to
awake to the possible advantages of
farmers ring. The farmer read in his
paper that this member of the Legis-
lature had been elected to look out for
one interest and that member for an
other interest, but he read of no one
devoting himself to the farmers inter-
est. Still he went along blowing,
sowing, reaping and selling for what
ever he could get-furnishing the stock
in trade on which some other people
grew rich. After this sort of thing
had gone on for eighteen hundred
years or more the farmer bethought
him that as other people seemed to
prosper on rings perhaps one would be
a good thing to have on the farm. So
he went over and talked with his
neighbor about it. 1t was q sensible
and effective talk. Out of it grew the
Grange and the farmer now realizes
better price for the products of his
farm. The farmer saw that those in
terests having representatives in the
Legislature always secured the pas
sage of laws aiding their advancement
and prosperity. He sent few of his
friends into that body and he now has
abundant reason to be satisfied with
what they prevented and what they
accomplished. Let it continue thus.
The farmers owe it to themselves to
guard against combinations for ex-
travagant speculation On agricultural
products, and they have too, long neg
lected to use their influence against the
enactment of laws designed to benefit
the few to the detriment of the many.
Theirs is a community of interests.
They should confer together like the
followers of any other calling or pro-
fession. The result of such confer
ence is mutual benefit to the producer
and consumer.
