A recent census bulletin shows an
enormo increase in the production OF
malt liquors, chiefly lager beer, in the
United States during the 10 years be-
tween 1870 and 1880. In the former
year the quantity made was valued at
ffty-fve million dollars; in 1880 it
reached a hundred and one millions.
During the same period the increase in
the production of distilled liquors was
comparatively small, the value Of the
product being thirty-six million dollars
in 1870 and forty-one millions in 1880.
These figures ought to be encouraging to
all temperance advocates, for they show
that the people are drinking more beer
and less whisky.

A TRIBUTE TO THE PRESS.

Mr.. Keene, in his recent testimony
on CORNERS" pays an unintentional, but
very high, tribute to the press. He says
in relation to his great wheat corner:
''The newspapers took up the cry that
this was a corner to raise the price of
breadstu!fs, and we were finally com
PEELED to sell out at a loss that which We
had purchased" They bought at 81 10;
the price was pushed up to 81 30j tine
fall must, therefore, have aggregated
about "a, 0O0, 000-the amount saved to
onsume by meddlesome newspapers.

DISSEMINATION.
Something for Pacific Coast Repre-.
seutatfves to Look After.

1t is true that even a slight depreciation
in the value Of Nevada's chief product
do so embarrass some of our mining
enterprises that are struggling for present
life in the hope of future developments as
to break them down entirely. And still
the senseless and relentless war against
silver goes on. The Chicago Mining
Review shows up our phase of this bush
whacking admirably in the following
article:
Another evidence of the persistent en-
myty 10 the silver coinage, on the part Of
those who are chosen and paid by the
people TO represent them, is shown in a
new discrimination to be made in favor Of
gold and against silver. Not only is gold
now coined free of expense, but the Di-
rector Of the Mint has amended the Mint
regulations so that on and after Jan. /,
1888, no charge at the assay offices will be
collected from depositors of gold for the
transportation of their bullion to the Mint
for coinage.
Last year the Government made a net
profit of over So 5000, 900 over and above
all costs on the silver coined, which was a
direct tax upon the industry Of silver
mining, Thus while gold is coined free
and transported free, silver is forced to
bear the three-fold burden of depreciation,
cost Of coinage and point made by the
Government in coming. Then the chief
objection used against the coinage of any
silver is that the silver dollars are not
demanded by the people. There are in
this country no classes of people, so far as
rights are concerned, and an attempt to
make one kind OF money for one class,
expecting that the other class will be salts
fed with another kind of money less valua-
BILE, is an insult to the intelligence of the
people, and a discrimination which should
not for a moment be tolerated They mis-
take the spirit and character of the people
who attempt to impose upon one class for
the benefit of another. 1t is contrary to
the essence of republican institutions, and
the justice and integrity Of the great heart
of the children OF the nation cannot per-
nit saeh wrong and injustice to go un.

There have been several centennial

larger part has been settled within
that period. .'lymouth Rock can

The people ask, why make the max

state of peace with all the world and

revenue than is now collected. But
probably 1t was because there is so
much peace, that the legislature
wanted war between the taxpayer
