They Struck it Rich.

AhGy 9h9Ik ~ ANA@hs
Denver, Dec. I1.-New discoveries
Of rich silver deposits continue in the
vicinity of Leadville. Among the
latest and most remarkable is one made
BY Lieut.. Governor Tabor last Satur-
day morning, Of sand combination
vein, from which e5,7 was taken
that day, and the discovery Of very
rich deposits on Ten Mile creek,
where a assure vein seventeen feet
thick Is reported.
By an examination of the Denver &
Bio Grande railway books for Novem-
Der, 1t appears that nearly two million
pounds Of base bullion were trans
ported from Leadville by that route in
November, and upwards of twice that
quantity of high grade silver ore. The
shipments from Colorado Springs alone
in November of base silver bullion
were 1,125,O00 pounds. 1t is evident
the product of silver of the Leadville
mines will very largely exceed any esti-
mates hitherto published.

Condensed from the Telegraphlc Report.
Mr.. Blaine said he offered the pend

in definite and authentic form, the
frauds and outrages by which some of
the recent elections were carried by the
democratic party in the southern states.
Second, to find If there be any method
by which q repetition Of these crimes
against free ballot may be prevented.
After saying that newspapers are the
recognized channel of information for
the people of the United States, he
added that they have given facts con-
cerning intimidations and frauds in
the southern states, which force the be-
lief that there was no election there in
any sense of the term. He spoke Of

Mr.. Blaine said that at the late elec.

Of which number the republicans have
obtained four. Thirty-five of these
representatives were assigned to the
southern states by reason Of the colored
population, and "the entire political
power thus founded ON the numbers Of
the colored people has been seized and

The board, through it's attorney, filed a

DISASTROUS STORM FLOODS.
Towns Almost Washed Out = Heavy
Losses.


Springfield, Mass, Dec. 12.-There
were several bad washouts on the Bos-
ton & Albany railroad in the vicinity Of
Westfield. Last evenings trains in
both directions were stuck between
Westfeld and Russells; some distance
beyond WestHeld a thousand feet of
both tracks are gone; at Russell two
more sections-300 and 200 feet-are
gone.
At Huntington half of an iron
bridge, q span OF the Boston & Albany
bridge, a portion Of the dam of Chester
q Co., and the dyke Of the Highland
mills were swept away. The streets
are like a river bed.
At Westfeld the loss is fully $780,
900.
The dyke on the south side of West
held river overhowed last evening,
washed across Elm and through Mea-
dow streets, cutting of the centre OF
Of the town from the depot. At the
same time the dyke gave way at the
west end Of the village, pouring water
all through that section. The stream
across the street to-nights runs ten feet
deep.

THE OPPOSING SECTIONS.

Senator Blaine's speech Is a powerful
bid for the presidency. 1t is most
able production, and its aggressive tone
and convincing facts, with which it
bristles, cannot but fire the northern
heart with admiration. Since it is seen
from the late election that the policy of
the solid south is ''rule or ruin," and
that the ante-bellum audacity of its
congressional representatives is again
asserting itself, there is imperative
need for man with the splendid cour-
age and ability of Blaine. OF course,
1t is a sectional controversy, but the
south started it. The southerners be-
gan by FIRST determining that the
north, which had defended and pre-
served the union, should not govern it.
As means for accomplishing this end,
rifle clubs and various unfair and out
rageous measures were resorted to In
order to disfranchise the colored repub-
lican voters Of the south. Gradually
these repressive acts threw the local
governments into the hands of the fire-
eaters. Then they controlled the neces-
sary political machinery for furthering
their designs on the national govern
ment. And for whatp Why stifie the
honest judgment Of people2 Simply
that solid south might make demo-
cratic majority, and that the same solid
south might control that majority in
caucus, and therefore run the govern
ment. So the north is confronted. not
by a democratic government, but by
the power Of a solid south.
In all their actions the southerners
are charged with but single purpose:
1t is to control the north. They have
been the aggressors; they have resorted
to outrageous methods of obtaining the
ascendancy; what they propose for the
future can be easily conjectured by the
past; therefore, brave mind and ro-
bust facts are necessary for defense
Blaine steps to the fore and does battle
for what all republicans, the stalwart
and wavering both, must conceive to
be the paramount duty of the hour.
The matter resolves itself into simple
question of whether fifteen or sixteen
states, containing the most ignorant,
base and unscrupulous people, who are
actuated' by malice and revenge, shall
triumph over the remaining twenty
two states, which are acknowledged the
world over as possessing the intelligence,
progressiveness and wealth of the
United States. Sixteen southern states
are not by any means sufficiently repre-
sentative of the great United States to
entitle them to rule. The farce will be
tried for two years after next March.
That 1t may not last longer is the earn
est hope of the republicans, who.
whether in the field or at home, sus.
tanned the party which carried the ar
bitrament of war to satisfactory con-
clusion. There is but one answer to
solid south: 1t is q solid north. To
insure this good men are needed.
James G. Blaine is one of them, and
whether he couples the hope Of the
presidential nomination with his efforts,
it matters not. His arguments and
facts are none the lesstrue and convinc-
ing, and they demonstrate perfectly
power and will to properly handle the
living question of the day. Such
man is made of at stuff to become the
next pr esident.

No. of
Failures.

And these figures are but a fraction of the
sum total of disasters that have fallen upon
the country. The recorded liabilities OF
those who went down beneath the curse OF
radical financiering while indicating the
force of contraction, furnishes meager data
upon which to predicate a satisfactory esti-
mate of other losses, the sum total OF which
appeals to those most familiar with the sub
ject. The shrinkage of values of real
estate is estimated at 40 per cent,
or $4,000, 000, 600. The loss sustained
by throwing at least 100000 of
working people out of employment
is not less than 81 0OO, OOO, 900, and this cruel
war upon tine material prosperity of the
country is still going forward. 1t will be no.
ticed that while these disasters have fallen
thick and fast upon the country crops of
fabulous abundance have been gathered, not
cereals alone, but every other product Of
forest, field and farm. The people now
stand confronted with the facts. There is no
escape from their logic. Radicalsm is re-
sponsible for the ruinous state of things that
has filed the land with idleness, poverty,
financial distrust and business prostration.
We have bad crops each year meeting
the largest estimates, but they have not
brought prosperity. There is everywhere
an absence of confidence and an
exhibition of reluctance to engage in legiti-
mata business pursuits. The season is adj
vancing, and from every quarter OF the coun-
try the crop reports are cheering, but they
come with reports that people are idle, and
those who can obtain employment are work
ing for wages that barely keep soul and body
together. Evidently what is wanted is wise
legislation; more currency for capital to
transact the business of the country. Until
this is done, the devastating forces radical
ism has set in operation will continue TO
neutralize the legitimate effects of abundant
harvests, and intensity the business gloom
that enshrouds the land.

ISt. Louis Times.l

In the course of political speech in Bos-
ton, on the night of June IS, General Hor-
ace Binney Sargent, among other things
said: ''More than 200 men who fought the
battles of the rebellion are to-day in the poor
houses of Massachusetts,. men, every one of
whom is more loyal than one-half the con-
gressmen who are TO day talking about hon.
est money" There is a whole volume of
meaning in that sentence. Two hundred
men who saved the Union" are paupers in
the poor houses of single state Nine
tenths, If not ninety-nine hundredths OF
them ev' rywhere are poor, or utterly i'm
poverished. This is not all. Nine-tenths of
the industrial classes, the men who labor on
the farms. in the workshops and factories,
who produce the wealth that sustains us
all and make our country great are about as
poor as the soldiers. Why? Because
through the instrumentalities of vicious
legislation the few have been enabled to
gather into their plethoric gamers and
treasures nearly all the entire surplus of the
unconsumed products of labor. This it is
that has thrown so many out of employment
and created grand army of tramps. This it
is that has swallowed up small capitals en-
ployed in various industries. This it is that
has caused $1,000 bankrupts annually. This
is the cause Of all our woes.

WHEAT.

The winter wheat has matured q part al
ready garnered, the remainder soon TO be.
The only adverse contingency is the effect of
possible weather between harvest and thresh-
ing. Spring wheat is 80 far advanced and so
remarkably vigorous that it can resist any ex-
cept an extraordinary adversely. A large
yield may therefore be confidently expected.
Notwithstanding cracking one side and
gushing on the other the minimum yield of
the whole country has never been less than
ten bushels, and the maximum record has
never reached fourteen. A medium crop upon
3l.0O0,UOO acres would be 3600O0,000 bushels. but
the present must be more than a medium
crop. With the crop indications as here pre-
sented the reader can form his own conclu
sions. At thirteen bushels the product would
be S9O,0O0,0O'; at fourteen, 420,0JO,UO0 bushels.
The very sanguine need not go beyond that
figure, which Is nearly 80 per c5nt. larger than
the fine crop of 1869
With q large crop and medium price the
home consumption will be likely 10 be De, O00, :
100 bushels; 10000 more will be required for
seed; ~, 900 600 will probably be needed abroad
a probable surplus sufficient for any possible
increase in the foreign demand, caused either
by war or unforeseen injury to the European
crop, for waste and losses by fire or accident.
While there is sure to be bread in abundance
IL will not be drug in the market, and, from
the present outlook, will not be sacrificed in
the hands of the farmer.
England is declining in wheat production
her bread imports are rapidly increasing. The
have witnessed an immense importation OF
wheat and flower, and 81 per cent. OF 1t has
gone from this country, amounting to an
equivalent of A,0J9,000 bushels of wheat. The
following are the figures for four months OF
three years past:
