The Gander Must Swallow the Sauce Of the
Goose.


The EAGLE, with all his might this
week, screams whats sauce for the
goose is sauce Cor The gander." Every
page sparkles with thoughts of, and
nearly every column is surcharged
with, conceptions and convictions
touching the great national question,
which in the minds of the millions is
is rising above all others. That de-
monetiZation was conceived in iniqui-
~, brought forth by deception, cor
ruption and fraud, is plainly shown by
The extracts from the speeches deliy-
cred at Eagle Hall and which we print
upon the first page. The means Of its
passage and its general effect upon. the
business of the country. are laid bare
That it was begun in Injustice and is
eliminating in unparalleled financial
disaster is only too evident The very
fact of the persistence with which
those interested in single gold stand
ard insist upon and prosecute The de-
monetizing scheme in the midst Of
such terrible business prostration and
financial distress as hovers over tie
country now, and the further fact Of
their endeavoring 10 force immediate
resumption with but the single stand
ard of gold with the gold all in their
own hands, has awakened the people
from the Atlantic to the Pacific. And
the people are speaking through the
press, through the EAGLE this week,
and from the rostrum. All the bond
holders and bloaied capitalists of the
world will not be able 10 set aside the
verdict which viii most surely and
speedily come.

give the following, which let any hon.

J. Are ten OF our ten-cent silver

8. Are two of our silver halves a
dollar?
They will pay dollar of indebted

of statutes; but they are not a dollar
according TO the gold or greenback
standard, for they are quoted al nine

then by what standard are they

ninety-one cents

Sam Wood in the Eagle.

Hon. S. n. Wood, the present Speak
or of the Kansas House of Representa-
tives, farors the readers of the EAGLE
this week with some facts about sill
yer and gold coiu, which constitutes
a reply to "Quicunque SIM" of last
week. No man in the State Of Kansas
is more widely known than Sam
Wood, and hatever is said of him
personally or politically, all concede
that he is not only one of the bright
est speakers, shrewdest lawyers and
widest politicians iii the West, but
that he possesses a mind. more fully
stored with political facts pertaining
10 persons and parties than probably
any man in the State of Kansas. He
is walkingscyclopedia, and in behalf
of our many readers we thank HIM for
the facts furnished.

Ge,many'a Silver.

The London Economist, in an ella DO
crate review of the latest information
shows that Germany had shipped TO
England S113, 100000 in silver since
her recoinsge began; that about $l2,-
100000 had also been exported from
Germany directly to the East; and
that about 500, 100000 had also been
used in coinage, aud retained in Ger
many. Thus about S2lS, 100000 was
accounted for, of 1925 100000 with
drawn from circulation at the end OF
September; and if The whole amount
disposable in Germany before demon
etization was $295, 900, 600, as Mr. Cos
chen's committee thought possible,
there would remain less than SIC, 000,-
600 for export, and of this some por-
ton has been moved within The cur
rent month, though the sales involved
a quick decline in price. The EcOa0-

the "unit of value" and legal for all
amounts, it will be worth just as much
as gold coin. As VIC are now produc-
ing less than $25, 100000 of gold annu-
ally. and over $50, 100000 of silver; as
silver is cmphatically an American
production, and as we are producing
more silver than all the rest of the
world, it seems to me that it is our
duty TO stand by our productions. 1t
seems to me that as the national debt
was contracted Oh the silver dollar ba-
sis that we have the right to pay it on
the same basis. IL silver dollar is
worth bat ninety cents in gold, then
that is all we owe, and TO demand
more is legalized robbery. Yours,

Kansas the FIRST.

We are in receipt of 4 letter from
Hon. Thomas Ryan, dated December
20, saying alfred Gray has been APP
pointed one of the commissioners to
the Paris exhibition, and has the hon.
or Of being the first commissioner Sc
lected by Mr. Evarts."
Mr.. Gray owes his appointment to
two things, first and mainly to the rem
utation he gained at Philadelphia as
secretary Of and having in charge the
Kansas Exhibition at the centennial.
The ability exhibited by him at
time was brought to the atten-
ton of prominent men through
out the nation, and he has had
since the close of the centennial, a ma
tional reputation. The fact made his
selection as commissioner, when
agreed upon by the delegation, from
his State, an easy task. But in the
second place, Kansas has warm friend
in Mr.. Evarts, the Secretary of State.
lie exhibited that friendship when a
young man, not worth, all told, SIC, 0G0,
he gave to Kansas in its early strug-
giles onc-tenth of that amount. lie
has ever since manifested sincere and
practical friendship for this State. We
are informed by those who know, that
since he has been IN the Cabinet, he
has let no occasion pass to say a good
word for Kansas This he has not on
ly done in his official acts, but unofii-
cially, when an opportunity offered.
1t is probable that to this friendship
of Mr.. Evarts is due the fact that the
first commissioner to be named was a
Kansas man. Kansas Will not forget
the friendship OF Mr.. Evarts, and
should it ever be in her power will re-
Commonwealth.

For the EAGLE.
Kingman County.
KrNcMAN

LoRETTE, KINGMAN Co., Jan. /,
EDITOR EAGLE:-Thinking that n
few lines in reference to county mat
tiers would find space in your val
liable paper, viii briefly give facts
as they appear on record.
The debt of Kingman county to day
is about $l1 900, all in county scrip,
which stands as follows: 5000 for
county blank books, OF which there
were but thirty-five ever received
from the publisher, Crane, of Hutch
inson: 81, 900 is represented by TWEEN
t-yfive lots 25x100 feet deep; $1,000 is
in the court house building; $500 held
by G. w. Lacy for services as commits
sioner; $500 for county surveyor; $500
TO Andrew Williams as attorney for
The county, who never rendered the
county one mills worth OF service:
1920 for service of John NJ. Jordan as
treasurer, who has never been resi-
dent Of the county, There is suit
pending now at Hutchinson-the
county vs. Broadwell-for which $500
in scrip have been issued to Houk 81
Whitelaw, of Hutchinson, TO defend
the county. OF the present amount
of debt we feel assured that it can be
reduced more than one-half. As for
most of the scrip issued, there has
been no value received.
We of Kingman county will pay
every dollar of our honest indebted
ness, but all fraudulent or doubtful
cases we will fight 10 the bitter end.
E. is right so far as he goes, but he
omitted to say that there were $4,000
dollars worth of bonds registered
against Kingman township while at
tached 10 Reno. They mature in 1888,
bear ten per cent. interest, payable Oh
the first of August and February in
New York City, and were issued for
bridge.purposes. This is brief state
ment Of facts which stand prepared
to prove.

The People Of the County With the Eagle on
the Silver Question.


Partly to gain the sentiment of the
people of this vicinity, but more for
the purpose of informing the powers
that be how the west stands upon the
question. Warren Il. Mead attached
the resolutions published in last
weeks EAGLE to paper and took bis
stand in the post Office. In little
over Two days the petition was four
teen feet long, and contained six hun
dred and fifty eight names. 1t grows
hourly too. This Is but one petition,
others have been sent out III the coun-
try. Nine out of ten of those whose
attention is called TO its contents not
only sign, but express pleasure in
having the opportunity. A POLITICIAN
now and then holds back, but the
bone and sinew are right OH the ques-
ton almost 10 man. The petition
will be forwarded TO Washington by
next Monday, and all desiring TO sign
will find ii at the post office.

The Administrator at Bay.

The political atmosphere is filled
with startling rumors touching the at
titude of President HAYES towards the
party that preferred and honored him
before all others only one short year
ago. Dispatches and letters 60 out
daily from the capital 10 every part of
the land of growing antagonism and
dislike between the body and chosen
head of the Republican party. One
day we are told that the President
does not intend TO rely upon his party
for support. On another, that the
President and his Cabinet have surely
determined to look to the Democracy
TO carry out the administration poll
cy. And on another, that Secretary
Schurz has written an editorial for his
paper, the ST. Louis WeStlicke Post,
in which he declares the President
will act independent Of all parties.
We shall see what we shall see, and
that before many days. For one, we
do not believe that the President win
desert his own party or trample under
foot the principles which he has cher
ishcd his whole life, because of per-
sonal quarrel over such a matter as
civil service reform, nor do we believe
the party will desert him because of
such quarrel.
1t is unfortunate that portion of
the Presidents Cabinet is not in full
accord with The Presidents party, but
that of itself will hardly cause ali the
trouble predicted.
If the grand old Republican party
must go down, with the glorious rec
ord of the grandest achievements of
all political parties of history; sink
out of sight and out of power, let her
go down with solid front to The enc
my, and not by her own hands and in
her tents.

The Precious Metals.

Wells, Fargo & Co.'s statement OF
the production of precious metals in
the States and Territories west of the
Missouri river, including British CO.
lumbia and the west coast of Mexico.
during 1877, shows the aggregate yield
TO be $9S, 500, 900, being an excess of
81, 500, GOO over 1876, the greatest pre-
yious annual yield. California gives
S., 250. 600 in gold, and 81, 225,0 900 in sill
yer; Nevada, $4,600,000 in gold, and
S44, 800, 600 in silver bullion. This So
called silver bullion, however, is about
forty-fve per cent. gold. California
also gives Sl.750,o00 base bullion. and
Nevada Sc, $50, 900 of the same, which
contains about twenty-eight per cent.
gold. Arizona gives this 81, 900, 900 of
which $l23,000 is gold, and $1,000
silver bullion. The balance are ores
and base bullion. The exports of sill
yer from San Francisco, India, China
and the Straits, is given approximate
ly at $19,000,000.

Gen. w. Il. Shafter says that the
present policy of the government on
the Mexican border is the only one
which will put an end to the .maraud-
ing expeditions carried on by the half
savage inhabitants on the south bank
of the Upper Rio Grande. lie states
that the officers of the Mexican forces
are apparently in earnest i'll their eff
forts to suppress these raids, lie
speaks of the situation, however. as
anything but pacific; that the bitterst
hostilities exist between the Mexicans
and Texans, and that complications
are not improbable, which may in
volvc more serious consequences. The
intrigues against Diaz are actively
kept up, and an effort is being made
to unseat him under the cry of Ameri-
can sympathies. He says that sue
cessful revolutionary movement in
Mexico would inevitably involve the
United States by the attempt of a
formidable invasion of American soil
by detached parties from Mexico.
