The Libelers Scored-That the Suffer
rFarmer' Saws,

The Libelers scored-What the Suffer
Farmer Says.
The Suffer Farmer, of Iuba City, edited
by George Ohleyer, one of the Executive
Committee of the Anti-Debris Association,
| quotes from the San Francisco Report, the
sheet that originated the silly libel about
papers and individuals being bribed by
hydraulic miners, the following:
The gold is in the mountains it is
sadly needed, and that it will be extracted
one way or another is equally certain. For
the people require it, and no Judge-made
laws can prevent its extraction. unless
every miner is watched by paid employee
of the anti-miners.
The Farmer, replying, says the Report is
the mouthpiece of L. L. Robinson, Presi-
dent of the Hydraulic Miners Association,
! and in the above extract is revealed the
new policy adopted since the PRONUNCIATION
of the famous Sawyer-Deady decree. Here
| is an open threat that the unlawful bust
| ness shall continue unless every miner is
guarded by an employe of the valley. The
above admission is doubtless made unwit-
| tingly, because it manifests spirit of in
subordination never before revealed, and
| will, if attempted sting this peculiar insti-
tuition to death. To the public this may
| be- but TO the anti-debris managers it is DO
new revelation. As they have doubled up
their patrol to meet this emergency, the
| cry Of fraud, corruption and bribery has
arisen in every law-defyer's camp. 1t is
intended to weaken pursuit, just as it was
in CadwaladerS day, but it will fail as it
dtl then
The Farmer also quotes from the San
Francisco Chronicle the accusation that
- it is common talk that no companies
have been prosecuted except those which
refuse to pay blackmail, and that any
| hydraulic company which was willing to
settle with the anti-debris managers could
90 on with its business without molesta-
ton
1t then gives the following from the San
Francisco POST
The Executive Committee of the Anti
Debris Association attends to the business
Of the organization. The charge of villainy
which the Chronicle makes lies therefore.
against the Executive Committee, if any,
body. This committee is composed of c.
+. SaXey, the President, prominent bust
ness man of Marysville; A. C. Bingham,
Mayor Of Marysville; George Ohleyer, edi-
tor Of the Suffer Farmer and manager of
the Farmers Union of Yuba City, and N
d. Rideout, the manager and principal
owner of five different banks in the interior
of the State. Every member of this Elk
ecutive Committee is a man of character
and substance, respected and trusted by his
neighbors. Is it creditable that such men
can be engaged in the infamous business of
Matchmaking miners and destroying the
| association Of which they are the head ?
Upon what information does our contem-
porary base so mOnstrous an accusation ?''
To these extracts the editor of the Farmer
adds these remarks: Such charges come
from the hydraulic literary bureau and are
always produced when the affairs of the
ruthless vandals are in precarious condi-
ton. Who does not remember the charges
of corruption and bribe-taking made
against the late lamented George Cadwala-
DER The harder he pushed them toward
the gutter of dependency, the louder the
cry of bribe-taker was heard all along the
line. The more money he received from
them the harder his blows to suppress
them. Bah desperate cause. indeed, to
invent such theory
