A PARALYZER OF INDUSTRY.


Not many months ago Mr.. Gage at
tempted to make the Legislature be-
lieve that the c. p. r. r. was doing all
it could to build up the industries of
Nevada. The New York Times, in a
long editorial on Daggett's speech
which the monopoly papers say is not
worthy of notice-mentions the follow
ing facts which it draws from perusal
of it:
Limestone is used in the reduction
of ores. There was formerly an extor-
tionate charge for bringing it from CAL
ifornia. 4 deposit was found a few
miles from Virginia City, but no sooner
was beginning made in the working
of it than the railroad rates went down
so that the CalifOr MIA article ui.f,uT>J.L
that of Nevada, and the ne,,- uii,yrpT..,u
was ruined.
The machine shops Of Gold Hill and
Virginia City could easily supply ma
chinery TO eastern Nevada and Utah, if
they could obtain transportation at
reasonable rates, but the railroad charges
$500 a carload from Reno to Utah than
from San Francisco to the same point,
and the Nevada business in prevented
from developing.
Mr.. RoIiin NJ. Daggett of Nevada,
calculates that the Central Pacific has
in ten years eXtortcd $30,000,000 from
the people of the State over and above
what it is fairly entitled to. He says
that the men controlling the company
have, out of an actual investment of
$4,000, got into their possession a
property OF $lS6, 100000 over and
above liabilities.
DR.. Hogan, of Reno, has just
issued the first number of his new
Greenback paper, the Pldindeoler. 1t
is neat thirty-two column eight page
paper and starts out with healthy adj
vestising patronage. In his prospectus
he says:
The Piaiadedler will advocate the
gradual decentralization of gold and sill
yer and the immediate issuance Of non
interest bearing paper currency, based
not only un all the gold and silver, but ,
upon every industry and all the produc-
tions of the whole people of the United
States, Il basis one hundred times more
sure than that upon which our none |
tary system now rests.
DR.. Hogan is firm believer in green
backs and knows how to advocate his |
views with force and ability.
The new order from the Secretary Of
War limiting the time that officers shall |
serve in cities has very much alarmed |
the society pets who are required, year
after year, to serve their country by
living in cities and attending kettle
drums and balls, while their less fortu-
nate brothers, on the same pay, are
compelled te rough it in the forts of
Arizona and Alaska. Some Of these
social snobs should be sent into the In
dian country every five years and their
supply of provisions cut off. This plan
would furnish the savages with enough
to keep them from MUIR
dering non-combative settlers and cut
Off eXcresencesfrom the various branches
of military service.
It is proposed to havea big horse race
in San Francisco this fall, and the Com
mittee of the Pacific Coast Blood Horse
Association have decided that the
amount of the purse for the race, heats
Of four miles, shall be $40, 00G-S12,000
to the first, $4,000 to the second, $4,000
to the third, and $500 to the fourth.
It was also decided to charge Ave per
cent. entrance for all horses outside of
the States Of the Pacific Coast, and ten
per cent. for the Others From the
present outlook there will be quite a
number Of entries, and should it be
made a post stake, probably at least
hree eastern horses Will run.
