confidently early in the Summer that

but US that date approached VIC were
told that Superintendent Wright re-
quired a little time to arrange mat
tors, and hence coinage would not
commence until tho first OF August
ut which time the machinery would
start up without fail. Well, tho first
OF August came and went and still no
coins fell from the dies OF the Carson
Mint.
Owing to some unavoidable (?) hitch
in the arrangements the time OF start
ing the coming machinery was again
postponed to the first of September
when the employees were notified to
report for duty. But the first of Sof-
tenber has gone and still no coming
has boon done at Carson. Wc would
not be surprised to hear it announced
that the reason the Mint has not

1nnloArloS AND SILVER.

The fact that silver hal never boon
as hig6 since the election OF Harrison
as it was before, must convince any
fir minded person that the Claim of
ofthe Republican party thatit is the
especial champion Of the white metal
is false; anl that the interests OF
the silver producers are not subserYed
byAthe Gee OF this or that
p,litical party.
Tho silver question, and tho sub
jest OF irrigation, aso que'tioni in
which tho people of Nevada have u
lauch grcater interest than they have
in tho ucces OF any political party,
as neither OF these arc political
questions in any sense OF the term;
for notwithstanding that many voters
honestly believed that the future
welfare OF tho silver interests depend
ell upon the election Of Harrison, the
facts provo TINT silver has decreased
in valuo, and that it is lowor now
than it ever was under tho admins
tration OF Grover Cleveland. Tho
proper method to advance tho silver
interests is not to appeal to party
prciudicc, but to tho sound sense Of
the American people and create such
n sentiment MS will result in placing
silver where it properly belongs, by
giving il FREQ coinage.
T, On the subject OF irrigation it is
useless to wait for the government to
take hold OF the matter, for it is n
law OF physics that 'larSe bodies
move slowly; and if we wait for tho
United States to do for us what we
should do for ourselves, the chances
aro that tho agricultural interests OF
Nevada will not DO enhanced to an up
preciable extent in the next decade.
There are great facilities for water
storage in the canyons OF the noun

lied by the expenditure Of a COM
