leaves the value in dollars at $49.603,-
207 $50. Except for the demonetiza-
ton of silver that amount would have
been $68, 10000. This shows that
the silver mines of America last year
lost through the accursed law the sum
of $1O,305, 662.50. If they lost that
much on a product of sos, 1855 800,
what did the wheat raisers and cotton
raisers and the rest lose on their pro-

lost ten times as much as the silver
miners, and giving them credit at low
wages for their labor, they did not

How many years will roll away be-
fore they will discover that any abuse
heaped upon silver is sure to be re-
venged; that its purchasing power can
not be altered; that it buys just as
much of anything that labor produces
when it is OH cents an ounce as
when it is $1.29 per ounce: and that
when it is at q discount everything
besides in the form of property is at a
similar discount And there is but
one way to restore the prices on the
products of labor, aud that is to undo
the unjust legislation which uncrown-
ed silver as money. 1t will have to
come to that, have to come now or

will be seen, too, that the total yield
of the mines of the world for last year

the British Isles, France, Germany
and Austria. If, in addition, we add
to it the people of Russia, China, ia
pan, the Latin States of Europe and
Spanish America. it will not amount
to twenty cents per capita. 1t will be
seen, too, that the coinage amounts to
more than the total product, which
shows how urgent is the worlds need
for money, real money. We wonder
if the famous goldites of the East do
not secretly hope that the people will
rise up and demand the restoration of
silver to its old place. 1t will be
speedily ruin if they do not.

Colsnel Casey, of the Philadelphia
Record, testified before the Congress
ional committee, now investigating
immigration and imported contract
labor, that in the Pennsylvania coal
mines fully two-thirds of the men en-
pl0yed are Italians, Hungarians and
Poles, who receive from so cents to
81 so per day for their labor, and
while the price of labor has declined
SO per cent, the price of coal remains
the same.

Citizenshtp.

Reno Gazette: It appears that
many residents of Nevada are under
the impression that it requires one to
be in the State q year before he can
vote. The District Attorney of this
county advises otherwise. He says
any one remaining in this State, COM
ing with the intent to make his home
here, six months is citizen and an
elector. There is pending constitu-
tional amendment, which, if passed,
will require years residence, and il
is in connection with this pending
amendment that the opinion has be-
come current that none are entitled to
register and vote until they have re-
sided here one year. There is no
question about citizenship being gain
ed in six months, as provided by the
present constitution.

RAILROAD NEWS.

We have nothing new to offer this
week concerning the new line from
here Northward. but we wish to say
that now is the time to secure the
right Of way. That strip OF road inau-
gurated so quietly and so apparently
''nll on paper'' is most important
project. The Manitoba system is reach
ing in this direction from the North
west and North and the Milwaukee
system is bearing this way from the
Spirit Lake side, also from the Orton-
Vile side. Both should find a way into
Worthington. The securing of the
right of way across Mobiles and Muir
ray counties for our projected road.
may secure US one or the other of these
lines.
AS stated in recent issue of the AID
VANCE, the Milwaukee has filed artic-
les of Incorporation for 4 line ''South-
easterly from Ortonville across Mobiles
and Murray countless We also gave
some weeks ago the fact that materi.
ais were accommodating 1T Spirit Lake
to extend the Milwaukee Northwest
from that point.
The Milwaukee will he seeking q
route across Mobiles county this year.
The Manitoba is at our dooryard
on the North and it ought to he con-
nected with Worthington. The recent
gathering of delegates at Sioux City to
interview the directors of the Sioux
City & Northern is something signifi-
cant. Rock Rapids. Luverne, Adrian,
and Beaver Greek all had delegations
there. the latter town being represented
by Messrs Smith & Shell of this place who
areinterested in Beaver Greek property
Each of these delegates urged his
own place and his own route As the
best.
The object of the Sioux City &
Northern is to tap the Willmar s. Sioux
Falls road at some convenient point
aud thus secure a Duluth connection
and ut the same time connection
with the Manitoba system.
These are no paper schemes. The
Sioux City & Northern may pass
through the Western part of this Coun-
ty, but the sense of the recent railroad
meeting in Sioux City of which we
made mention at the time, was to pass
further West and intersect the WILL
mar & Sioux Falls West of Pipestone
and near the Dakota line.
But the route is not settled yet, and
if it comes to this county at all. it can
be brought to Worthington by proper
efforts to secure it.
TO sum up, then: Here are three
lines, that would be glad to secure the
Minnesota & Northern link, with 80 to
~ SO miles of right. of way all secured and
through country which requires
scarcely any bridging and very little
grading.
