A Real Exlgency-Let us Have u
Bi-Metallic Cure

In the glamour of session of the
national legislature which is really intro.
ductory, and ought to be Introductory,
OF great national reforms, one issue OF
even international Importance is liable
to be overlook ed-we allude to the
currency question. The United States
is to-day the great silver producer OF the
world. Silver money is sought to be
discredited by conspiracy in which the
fat.witted German Chancellor, who is in
his dotage, is the leading party. In an
especial degree the people OF the United
States are interested in breaking up the
old fiscal traditions. As the matter
stands the low priced bonds of the
United States, which are the basis of
much of our national bank circulation,
are rapidly called in. Such a process
were it not for the coinage of
standard silver dollars and for the
issue OF silver certificates, would
rapidly result in construction of
the money market which would be pro.
ductive of disastrous outcome in this
country, ii not abroad. The capitalists
of the leading commercial cities of the
United States are the almost exclusive
holders OF the bonded indebtedness of
the United States. Their desire and
their interest is to have this national in
debtedness paid exclusively in gold coin.
Under such system they would be
enabled to foreclose all the property OF
the United States and to buy it in at low
figures. This desideratum once accom-.
plished-having bought in the whole
property of the nation at the hammer
they would easily devise scheme of cx.
pansion that would enable them to sell
out their unjustly acquired realty at a
tremendous advance. They would thus
be able to exempliiy the boast OF that
Roman Emperor who said he used his
people like a sponge; viz, he filled i,
when it was dry and squeezed il when
it was wet.
The people OF the United States have
a guarantee against this malign policy of
Eastern monoerats in insisting upon the
full and effeetual monetization OF silver
In bi-metallic currency is our only
help. Every resident of the Pacific
Coast, whether voter or te
be a voter, should insist upon
legislation which will give full efficacy
to both gold and silver as a currency.
1t has been clearly demonstrated that
this year, we shall lose fully $50, 900, OOC
of gold in our exchanges with Europe
Intelligent Congressional Legislation
would take heed Of this fact, and pro
vide against peril in the future by throw
ing the weight of the United States il
the scale in favor of a double STANDARD
OF gold and silver-a standard whici
would then have the assent OF the great
or portion of Europe, all Of America an,
all of Asia.

The Colfax chronicle. [volume] (Colfax, Grant Parish, La.) 1877-1981, 1884-12-27

According to the Indian Forester
famines in India are caused by goats.
The goats of India appear, as a rule, to
live always on the brink of starvation.
as, indeed, goats almost everywhere
seem to do, collecting a scanty liveli-
hood out of the barrenest materials.
Especially, however, do they attack the
green shoots and topmost twigs of
every young tree which they come
across. A herd of goats, numbering,
say, from $4,000 to 10000 animals, as
is sometimes the case. in the desert
tracts of Asia, is not likely to leave
much vitality in the saplings that grow
in its line of grazing. These saplings,
therefore, never grow to trees. The
old trees, unless reinforced from time
to time by younger growth, die off,
and whole forests thus disappear.
Without forests the rainfall ceases; with
out rain the crops,fail. In spite of the
enormous extent of Indian plains, it is
altogether possible that the action OF
the goats must be thus indirectly re-
sponsible for Indian drouths.. ST. He
lena, as every one knows. has been con-
verted from a Garden of Eden to a
bowling wilderness owing totheimpor-
tation of the goat alone. In Cyprus,
too, the diminished rainfall and conse-
quent sterility is attributed almost en-
tirely to the herds of goats which every
Cypriote appears to keep, and which
have long ago devastated the vegeta-
ton of the island. ga q 3a.las r.a

Just equal the amount of the check said

Gould thus interest himself? The. an
swer is simple. Jay Gould is . chief
owner in the Union Pacihc Railroad.
The group Of Pacifics, of which the
Union is great factor, owe the United
States-that is, they owe the people of
this country 81, 295, 1881 for interest
puaranteed upon their bonds. Upon
this score they are delinquents. Sturdy
old Thurman and honest old Edmunds
have sought to compel the payment Of
this delinquency. and Edmunds, party

whenever Thurman and himself have
prepared bill looking to the equitable
enforcement of the claim against the
Pacifics up has jumped James Blaine
from behind Jay Gould's breastwork
and fred upon them from the rear.
