the Secretary of tho Interior concern
ing the disposition that might bc made

there has been no such Secretary of state
as Senator Bayard would make. and the
New York merchants would delight TO have
him in that high position, which has never
been held by but one Deiawarean, and then
only for brief period by the late great

According to a Louisiana paper, most
desirable lands in that State, fronting on
Eavigable streams, and capable of pros
ducing from 600 to 5000 pounds of su-
gar and 10 to $50 gallons of molasses per
acre, or crols worth from 500 TO $500
per acre, can zoe purchased for the low
sum of SIS TO $50 per acre. Further in
land, and within a few miles of Davig-
able water courses, land can easily be
bought for IS to SIS per acre. Excellent
sugar lands can be had at very much
lower prices than even the above in
Texas, says a Galveston journal.

VERY CHoICE.-A large class Of peo-
pie of theUnited States have become very
choice as to the kind OF hard money they
will receive. This classis mostly those
who favored the issue Of the greenback
and the making of it a legal tender in
the place of gold and silver, the only
legal tender that was known to the
Fathers ofthe Republic. A few who
have not been so lucky as 10 grow rich
on the issue of bonds and greenbacks
join the clamorous crowd who favor but
one standard, and that of gold to the ex-
clusion of silver. They have their pay
doubtless, or are Influenced by unworthy
and interested motives to cry down silver
as standard also. 1t is truly astound-
ing witness the facility with which
these people change their minds. Silver
they say should not be astaudard because
it has been deprecated by the large pro-
duction. But when it is shown that
there has been an excess Of gold produc-
ed over silver, they cease TO urge that as
reason and cite the examples OF one or
two na,.ons Europe who have an ex-
cess of hard metal in their vaults. If they
see proper TO have a single standa d let
them. We cannot see why We, a nation
just. endeavoring to get back TO spec.e
payments after using perfect hood of
paper for sixteen years, should be so par
tic0lar as TO whether We pay our bonds
in gold or silver. Gold and silver
were standards before the war
when the country was rich and
prosperous in every part, and it seems 10
the great mass Of lhe people very strange
that The brokers and boudtolders should
now become so choice as 10 demand
only gold IS Standard. 1t is all because
Of .hegreat greed Of the boadholders =
Ihey have made already about % pei
cent. on their investments and they are
sill unsatished and would make the
government, or the people. pay double
as much as if they could. The dollar
of the daddies" made the country strong
and great; and those who attempt to
make sport of it, should remember that
il is upon the labor and use of that dolla
the whole superstructure of debt is based
These gold standard people furnish a
argument against themselves when the,
cite the variation in the worth of silye
at different periods. owing to the succe
OF mining operations, and they always tr
to cover up the fact that gold has ais
varied inits value; and it is quite possibl
that it may do so again even before ls7.
The very fact that Germany is adoptin
1t as single standard proves that it
growing plentiful, aud that an effort
thus being made to keep up its value
Should there be few more extensiy
and productive gold mines discovered i
any part of the world gold nigh sink

pages and peruses its fascinating descrip-

new and highly artistic engraviDgs, its
letter press a model of typographical
richness, aud the arrangement throughout
simply superb, the Rock Mountain Tourist

gossipy, graphic style, covering details Of
the tour through the garden of the South

are made to all the famous resorts of Col

interest to tourist, agriculturalist, capitalist
miner. and invalid. With the Tourist, the
San Juan Guide keeps fitting company
