The Treasury Department buys
bullion at the price which brokers are
pleased to pay for it in a country
where silver Is demonetized. At
present that price is about 20 per
cent. less than the assayed value OF
the metal. The Government, there
fore, derives profit Of 20 per cent.
on all the silver bullion it coins, or
about 100000 year, as the silver
when coined is legal tender for the
payment OF Government obligations.
These are facts which cannot be con.
troverted by the national banks or
their allies.

James Farrell, who sold his cattle
ranch on the Little Humboldt last
Spring and and went on a visit across
the Atlantic, writes from the Caledo
man Hotel, London, that the old
countries are going down; they are
sick, and the political doctors can't
agree upon the medicine that will
restore them to health, though all
admit that they need restorative.
England has passed her meridian, in
Ireland they claim they are getting
all they want through Parnell and his
party. 1t may be so; Parnell seems
to be a great man. Everything is
against these countries. By reason
of climatic changes the grain is soft;
the cattle are drenched to death with
rain, and they can't be fattened ex-
cept when housed and fed on oil cake !;
the hay spoils before it can be sacked;
taxes are increasing and values and
industries decreasing; England is liv-
ing on its capital, and the interest on
capital is decreasing, hence the de-
preston. The people are afraid of
American enterprise, and are jealous
of America, though their ignorance
of the country is amusing. Tourists,
native and naturalized, who come
here from the United States give the
people an unfavorable impression of
the country Silver State.

Twelve years ago, silver, at 16 to i.

Twelve years ago, silver, at 16 to 1,
commanded premium over gold, and
the land was prosperous. By indi-
rect means, silver was dethroned from
Its sovereign place as money. In four
years there was crushing depres-
sion all over the Eastern States of
our Republic; industry was paralyzed
everywhere, and FIVE hundred thou
sand tramps were marching up and
down the land. The passage of the
Bland law, though unfair and unjust
to silver, partially restored it to its
old place and prestige, and immedi-
ately the wheels of industry began to
roll, 2 return to specie payments was
made possible. the paper evidences Of
money owned by the government adj
vanced $50,000,0OO, values were
equalized everywhere throughout the
Union, and such prosperity followed
for five years as no land ever enjoy
ed before. In the meantime, there
was 2 steady flow Of gold to our.
country from abroad, until the amount
IN circulation was doubled, and the
great debt melted away at the rate
Of $50,00O,O00 per annum.

These are troublesome times for the
brethren. Their cowardly King has
fed and left them to work out their
own salvation; and sorry fist they
are making of it. Now that the law
is being put in full operation by Mar
shall Dubois and his efficient deputies,
the seed that has been sown by the
piratical teachings of the Mormon
High Priests for years is blossoming
out. The younger and less crafty of
the Mormon people are boiling over
with indignation at what they are
taught to believe is persecution. They
think it is the proper thing for an
armed mob to resist the officers and
rescue polygamist who has been ar
rested. Of course they fail and for
serving the Lord in this way some of
them will doubtless have plenty of
leisure to repent in Boise.-ll Idaho

production Of silver for Boise County

900. In review of the mining in
dustries of Boise county we find the
following, which is not far from the
correct figures: "The Elmira compa-
ny, OF Banner district, has during the
past season crushed 954 tons of silver
ore from its mine, which yielded $780,
OOO." We extract the following in
regard to the production Of the pla-
Ger mines of Boise Basin: "There
are many individual placer claims in
operation around Idaho City, Center
vile, Placerville, SC. These claims
are generally producing fair yield,
but to obtain accurate and reliable
information is quite difficult, SO that
the aggregate can only be estimated.

towns report the gross amount of
shipments as s5S9,215.55.

disposed of by the county commits
sioners of county in Territory?
In answer to letter from w. H.
White, U. S. attorney for Washing
ton Territory, addressed to Sparks,
the commissioner of the Gen. Land
Office, said officer takes position that
these lands cannot be disturbed by
any territorial authority till statehood,
and the U. S. attorney is authorized
to enter suit against those who dis
turb these lands. We think Sparks
is right. Several claimants have
at the land Office to make
proof for obtaining certificate but
their proofs were rejected under
Sparks ruling, because they said they
had borrowed the money to pay the
entrance money and had told the lem
der that they would mortgage the land
as security for the payment OF this
money, and they were una
BILE to proceed with their proofs. One
of the claimants has taken an appeal
to the general land Office, and if the
new ruling is sustained, then it will
probably go to the courts. The
rights of the settler are too much
molested to succumb to this new rul-
ing without an effort to have the rul-
ing changed to what the rulings have
been under former COM
missioners.

THE thought that is uppermost

-
THE thought that is uppermost
and occupies the front seat in the
youngsters mind, about this time Of
the year, is in regard to a Christmas
Tree. Mr.. Kingsley interviewed the
Juveniles 9 few days ago, and fgura-
ratlvely felt their pulse on the Christ
mas tree question. He SAID he was
little timid about the matter at
frst--was afraid the youngsters would
say they were not in favor of having
a tree. Mr.. K. was solid on the tree
question, because he likes to see the
youngsters made happy at all times,
and particularly on Christmas; there
fore he was somewhat timid about in
terviewing the youthful portion Of
the community, for he feared thew
would be opposed to that which
would cause them much joy. When
the question was put to vote, they
"arose as one man." or one woman.
as Bill Nye would say, and voted,
without q dissenting voice, for a
Christmas Tree, and that vote settled
the question. The tree, as all others
have been, will be public one-free
for all Regardless of religious or po-
litical beliefs, race, color or previous
condition of seryitude) to hang on
presents for their friends, and sisters
and cousins and aunts and all other
relatives. The children are the ones,
of course, to be particularly remem-
bered on this occasion.
The President is nearly through
with his message, and the Secretaries
have about completed their reports.
The majority Of them will publish
their reports in advance of the meet
ing of Congress. The report of the
Secretary of the Treasury only will
be Withheld, to 60 into Congress with
the Presidents message. The Secre-
tary of the Treasury is being sebject-
ed to great pressure to make call
for bonds. This pressure comes main
ly from the West. TIE policy of the
administration is opposed to reducing
the surplus, but will be very clear and
direct in advocating increased econo-
my in Government expenditures, and
cutting down tariff taxation in such a
way as shall avoid hurting industries
which have already been built up un-
der the existing laws. The plank of
the Chicago platform which declared
for tariff for revenue with inciden-
tai protection will be urged by the
President, leaving Congress to deal
with the practical details. There are
very few members in Washington
yet. The President, before COM
pleting his work, will consult with
the senate and House leaders. There
is at present great harmony between
the President and House leaders.
The silver question in al its details is
still matter which is subject of
consultation, to see if some compro-
mise cannot be reached which will
change the existing order of things
and yet satisfy the silver men by
keeping up the demand for silver.
These are troublesome times for the
brethren. Their cowardly King has
fed and left them to work out their
own salvation; and sorry fist they
