1t was at Il time when gold and sill

the money of the realm. The volume
Of the circulating medium approxi-
mated $1,000 100000. The only real

was to purchase the raw material, pay
for the labor, and to distribute the

in the quality and quantity of this i'm

No man or set of men, who were not
engaged in actual production, had Il
right to a voice in determining what
kind or quantity of tools the producers
should be supplied with. For the first
time in the history of the nation, the
wealth-producers were accidentally,
through the emergencies of the war,
provided with anything like an ade-
quate supply of money. Even this
supply was met with bitter and power

The congress of the United States,
and the legislatures Of the several
states, have become political bars, sup
ported at the expense of the peoples to
engineer and pettifog measures through
to final legislative judgment in the in
terest of capitalistic stock jobbers and
financial gamblers. If clan of Wall
street gold gamblers desire the money
of the country to be deprecated so they
may gamble and wrench from society
vast sums by gold speculations, they
have simply to employ the ablest attor-
neys in congress, have bill pass
ed to make all duties on imports
and interest on the bonds payable in
gold, and then take from the green
back the legal-tender quality Of money
so us not to depreciate it and furnish a
market for their gold. The people are
thus defrauded because they have no
representation in that body. 1t is com
posed Of an army Of lawyers. If one
or dozen get "A big job from Wander
bilt, Scott, Belmont the Rothschilds or
the national banks, it goes through by
courtesy, those not directly employed
and paid not knowing how soon they
may have a paying case, and need
similar courtesy.
Look at the legislation for the past
sixteen years. 1t has been a series of
jobs for the benefit of capitalistic mo-
nopOlies, and not one act for the benefit
of the farmer and the manufacturer.
On the other hand, the legislation of
the past few years, made in the inter-
est of banks, bOnd-holders, capital and
railroad monopolies, has had the intend
ed effect of adding billions to the
wealth of the congressional clients, ev-
cry dollar of which has been filched
from the taXpaying, producing, mis-
represented farmers and manufacture
ers.
Congress andlegislatures have ceased
to represent the people; the lobby alone
constitutes their clientage. This is not
to be wondered at. They are not only
encouraged in it by reflections, but are
paid for it by the bcneciarics of their
venality.
The producing CLASSES have the power
of protection and redress in their own
hands, but notwithstanding they have
been robbed, stripped and llayed by in
feriOr numbers, they march to the polls
like lambs to the slaughter, and under
the lash Of party discipline vote for the
same men and measures which have
ruined them, and thus license them to
continue their nefarious schemes of

4 Mountain OF, Gold.

Some excitement is being created
among the Mexican population of PnG-
nix by the story OF Mexican. who ar
rived last evening from the Reno
mountains. He came into town under
cover of darkness, as he was nearly
naked. His hands and feet were torn
and bloody and his faced gashed in a
fearful manner. His story was told with
the air of a man who had been terribly
frightened and had not recovered.
With companion he started out pros
pecting about q month ago, going u2
Salt river. They left the river when
opposite the Superstitious mountain.
Their prospecting began at this point.
While climbing up the mountain. in a
little gully, through black sand, and
down which large stream of water
had evidently passed years ago, they
were astonished 10 find that in this
sand were large quantities OF fine gold.
In some places the sand was only about
half an inch deep over the granite. The
gold, in pieces the size of a bean and
smaller. were found in the little assures
in the face ofthe bed rock. Very little
washing was necessary, and they found
little spring of water which furnished
them what they needed. They obtained,
they think, about 5000 worth in half IA
days work. About two o'clock in the
afternoon they were surprised to see an
Indian woman come to the top of the
gulch above the spring and start to
come down. Upon seeing them she ran
back over the hill. In less than ten
minutes they were surrounded by fifty
or sixty savages. The Indians were
very small, and seemed to be of differ
ent nature than they had ever seen in
Arizona. The Mexicans were not armed.
except with knives, and the survivor
says they were almost instantly caught
with lariats. The Indians took them
up the mountain and put them in a
cave. They tortured and killed his
companion, and his fate would have
been the same but for his escape. He
succeeded in getting away with only a
few knife gashes on his face. They lost
their gold with all their outfit. The In.
dians seemed to be cave-dwellers, and
were evidently excited over the place
being found by outsiders. Our report
/ er's limited knowledge OF the Spanish
language makes it impossible for us to
obtain all the particulars of the affair.
For the benefit of non-residents we will
say that Superstition mountain derives
/ its name from the fact that no white
man has ever been seen agtin who at
tempted its ascension. 1t is tradition
among the Mexicans that large deposits
of free gold are to be found in its gulches
and ravines 1t is not known whether
there is any water there or not.-Ph91ia

Why He Wanted a Divorce.

A stranger named Isaiah Bennett, and
lady named Hattie Coleman. from
Louisiana, entered the Office of a justice
in Louisville, KY, and expressed a de-
sire to be united The ceremony was
duly performed, the customary fee was
paid, and the couple departed, appar-
entity happy in the consciousness that
they were man and wife. Half an hour
afterWard Isaiah returned alone, with a
look of intense sadness on his cOun-
tenance, and inquired for the justice.
The latter had gone home, and ktr.
Beck, his clerk, was engaged in writing
at his desk, when the following dialogue
ensued:

"Well, because I've been to see a par
son. and he says that marriage won't
stick; that it amt no good, that's all I;
that we amt married right
Well,n replied Beck, rather sharply,
you tell that parson that lie don't
know what he's talking about. There
never was stronger marriage made in
this Office than yours, and you can bet
that it'll stick, and stick tight, too"
Well, he says it amt no good, and

Manufacture Of Clothing.

1t is estimated that $4,000 men and
women are employed in Philadelphia in
the manufacture of clothing, and 20,-
000, 900 suits are made there every year.
Cutting machines are gradually finding
their way into all of the large manufac
turing establishments of the city The
machines have capability of cutting
nearly eighteen hundred garments in a
day Of twelve hours, or about equal to
the combined results of the labor OF
eight men. Buttonholes also can be
worked by machinery at the rate of one
hundred and eighty per hour. while by
hand it would take the same period to
complete three holes By the cutting
machipes, folds Of cloth forty ply thick
ness can be easily cut through. The es-
tablishment where cutting and button
hole machines are used turns out one
hundred suits ready for wear inside 81
twelve hours.

Winter.Green.

To-day the winter woods are wet,
And chill with airs that miss the sun;
The autumn OF the year is done,
Its leaves all fallen, its fiower-stars set,
Its frosty hours begun.
Should last years gold narcissus yearn
For next years roses, OH how vainl
No briet dead flowers arise again,
But each sweet little life in turn,
Must shoot and bloom and wane.
Sweet, had the years that slip SO last
Brought you too soon or me too late,
How had we gnashed our teeth at fate,
And wandered down to death at last
Forlorn, disconsolate
Surely before the stars were sure,
Before the moon was set in heaven,
Your unborn soul to mine was given,
Your clear white spirit, rare and pure,
For me was formed and shriyen.
Oh! surely no time ever was
When we were not; and our souls light
Made those cold spaces infinite
That lie between the years like glass,
Seen only in Gods sight!
Howe'er il be, my own desire,
Ii chance has brought us face to tace.
Or If the scheme Ct things found place
To store our twin hearts light and fire
In strange foreseeing grace
Howe'er it be, for US at least
The woodland pathways are NOT dark
New lights are on the boughs and bark,
And in the rainless sunshot east,
We hear a mountain lark

Japan is now furnishing the French
market with eggs. A cargo to the value
of $3.50, 900 passed over the Union Pacific
and Pennsylvania Central railroads the
ether day on their way to Havre. This
route is superior to the Suez canal
journey on account Of the high temper
ature in the Indian ocean. The cargo
filled six freight cars and was carefully
packed. Some cases were opened in

condition. Owing to The short crop in
France they are in great demand, and it
may lead to regular trade between that

were poor crop; and now comes
