though W, are taxed to foot the outlays
for other States. Nevada has contrib
uted one thousand millions Of gold and
silver TO uphold the credit of the nation.
In all respects we are i'll b,tter position
than those wkc trsduee us. In proper
ton t. population w have a less number
o! iIlit rate people than any other State,
aud the percentage o: crime and drunk
enrss is less.
1t is not true that we are losing our
population. On the contrary, We are
gaining in all directions. Nevada was
admitted into the Union in 1864 with n
total population Of less than $4,000. In
1870 we had $4,000. and according to the
ceeaus of 1880, G2.OOo. The State en-
braces Ill 200 square miles, being MS
large rs all Of New England, New York
and Ohio comf'Hed. The compensation
allo we'd for liking the Federal census
will not pay fer ,torse feed in that coun-
try; 50 one-third o. the people are never
reached.
Mining il hardly as prosperous MS
formerly, but u people are giving more
attention to stock -ai7ing and agricultu-

ON BLAINE.


Some four years ago, Senator Ed
munds. whose Republicanism cannot be
denied. wrote q letter from which We
take the following: 1T is my deliberate
opinion that Mr.. Blaine acts as the at
torney Of Jay Could. Whenever Mr..
Thurman and l have settled upon lCgis-
lation to bring the Pacific railroads to
terms Of equity with the Govenm n,
up has jumped James G. Blaine. mushet
in hand. from behind the breast works
OF Gould's lobby, to fir in our back"
In view of this, it il not astonishing
that Mr.. Gould has r Gently declared
that Mr.. Blain's nomination suits him.
Indeed. all the gieEt monoroliIs, hot
only in Cali oTnia. but all over the
United States, are for Blaine. We re-
specifically hut very urgently ask our
esteemed contemporary, the Chronicle,
which we presume still claims to be an
anti-monopoly newspaper. to point to a
single measure or to one act which Mr..
Balm, in his long public Career, has
advocated or done which did not conclu-
siSely prove that Mr.. Blaine was
thoroughly in accord with the monopol-
lists and absolutely controlled by them.
Our e~nterprising contemporary should.
i: the fact xist. certainly be able TO find
something IN Mr.. Blnine's long political
career which void show that lie had at
some time been free from monopoly in-
fluence and done SON thing which the
monopo.ists did not want him TO do. We
pause for a reply.
