THE MINES AGAINST THE HAY
STACKS.


that of the mining interests OF our State as
80 self assertion and self-protection against
she businesses which are contingent, and in a
large measure dependent upon, the develop
saent of the mineral resources Of Nevada.
The earlier settlers within this part of
Utah las it then was), did not come here
either to engage in mining or farming, nor
vet in stock raising or the business of woods
nen Rather, they came here to take such
advantage as was to be found in the use of
ready money in the purchase of the cattle
and horses of the weary and poverty stricken
.migrant. The great industry of the State
dates from the discoveries made by O'Reily,
Mclaughlin, Comstock, the Grosch Brothers
sad their fellow prospectors. Farming, mer
chandisng, the raising of cattle and all such
avocations and pursuits are as strictly second
sry to the great business of mining as the
construction of the Sutro Tunnel is second
sry in Importance to the extraction and re-
duction of the ores of the C0mst0ck ledge.
The temper and voice of the aggressive
democracy as well as of their timid followers
sf the Republican party in view of Governor
BradIey's assumption of a sort of heroic
championship of the rights of the people lin
.he matter of the Bonanza Compromise BID,
VAS as if there had been an attempt made
in behalf of doubtful, intrusive and not
wholly legitimate interest to break down and
IT lure that which is essential stable and para
mount The antagonism thus excited Is
asither wholesome nor we'll grounded. In q
community where the chief source of wealth
hes buried in the earth and where the risk
attendant upon the pursuit of that wealth is
30 proverbially great that which is in
separable from mining, all share alike the
hazards of the day. In other words we who
are not directly engaged i'll minl.'g are not
any -the-less interested in its successful prose
sution than if we were actual miners. A. t.
20 the question Of taxation there can be no
;.o sides to it. Each man should pay his
share. The only question is, what is that
snare, and how shall it be ascertaned!
A. to the feeling expressed at the ballot
Sox in sustentaton of the mining business of
she State as against the apparent assailants OF
that all important interest, the Silrer STATE OF
e'ovember 16 says
Although the platforms of both parties are
opposed to the repeal OF mobilization of the
bullion tax, the vote in this county indicates
that the people are not i'll sympathy with the
satform makers on that question. Jasper
Rabcock, Republican candidate for Secretary
IT State, who, as member of the last Legis-
3ature, advocated and voted for the passage
u the compromise bill, run ahead Of his
5icket and received almost as many votes as
bis opponent, G. ". Baker, who, as Senator
from Eureka, voted against the measure.
" II. Howard, member of the Assembly
from this county, also voted against the bill,
and candidate for reelection fell behind
ais ticket, while Angus Morrison, who imme
iiateiy after his nomination announced in
sard in the Silver State that he favored
modification of the bullion law, received the
a,ghest number of votes of any candidate on
she Legislative ticket These circumstances
indicate that a ma jority of the voters of
Humboldt County are not opposed to modi-
sication of the bullion law taxing the proceeds
# mines, that question was not considered
lt all by the voters.
The Vors OF HUABoIDT. The Silrey State
II November l6 publishes the official vote of
humboldt County and in doing so comments
~ follows:
The official vote of Humboldt County as
canvsssed and returned by the Board of Com
n'lssioners, appears in full i'll another column.

don't electors chopped considerably, though

hhe scratching indulged in an election day.
