II has been commonly supposed that the
great inducement Tor tho investment oi
English capital in American railway Sc
curities is larger proportionate return on

iisb railways rule at much higher average

A statement has been prepared at the
treasury department, showing the total
estimated receipts of the govern
ment for the fiscal year ending June

The profit of the United States govern
ment on nickel live-cent coin is 90 per
cent. Last wear it amounted to some
what more than 100000. Conscientious
counterteiters make in immense quantitie2
fiyecent coin which contains more value
than that issued by the minis. On each
1000 silver dollars the government also
clears SlS3.75 The silver costs $S0S,75 and
the labor $3.50.
Every person who fraudulently, by any
art, way or means, deaCeS, mutllates, I'M
pairs, diminishes falsities, scales or lightenS
the gold and silver coins which have been
or which may hereafter be coined at mlnt'
of the United States, or any foreign gold OF
silver coins which are by law made current
or are in actual uae and circulation as
money within the United States shall be
imprisoned not more than two years, and
fined not less than $2,000.-Section 5,45S

1t costs $500, 300 to run the state govern
ment of Nevada for two years, including
the expensesof the noble body of statesmen
who meet at Carson. This is $3.50 per year
for every man, woman, child, Indian and
papoOse in the Sagebrush state. These fig.
ures lead to the reflection that Nevada'S
chief usefulness is to support the Office
holding class.
