THE TAX ON SILVER ORES.

1t may be observed that every con-
cession to silver coming from the
gold advocates confines the govern
ment purchase of silver to the pro-
duct of the U. $. alone. While this
is concession offered as compro-
mise, it is nevertheless policy de.
structive to large Western enterprises
and agricultural prosperity. Free
trade in silver ores stimulated great
enterprise in the establishment of
flourishing silver refneries in Kansas.
Missouri and other Western States.
In addition TO the home product,
large quantities of silver ore were
imported from Mexico to be work0
by these refineries, and the Mexicans
in turn bought their corn, -four, etc.
from the Western farmers, and for
the time the West prospered as no
section ever did. immigration
poured in from every quarter and
the development was wonderful.
The government, through the gold
influence, levied tax on silver ore,
and Mexico, in retaliation, placed a
duty on corn, etc. and Western farm
ers found slim market for their
large corn yield of 's9. The MeKin-
lev bin proposes to break up these
western industries and interchange

GO WEST AND PUBLIsH A PAPER

The newspaper business is in a
very prosperous condition out west,
and especially in corn-burning Kan
sas. The sheriff's Office, too, is
worth having. Sherifs parade
themselves around in much style
and enjoy the whistling of the cy-
clones through their side whiskers.
The Kansas editor, however, is the
happiest man of the two; he is not
required to exercise much he has
no occasion to trouble himself about
extending his circulation, for a
dozen or so copies are all sufficient.
Neither does he find use for pencil !;
IA few extracts from Mr.. Ingalls,
bloody shirt speeches meet every de-
mand, and he need only sit around
and enjoy the type click as they go
in the stick, curse JEFF Davis for the
edification of callers, and count up
the value of two and a half pages
~ columns sol1d nonpareil-land
mortgage foreclosure advertisements,
and settle with the sheriff when he
calls in to pay up. The st. Louis
Republic counts ninety such adver-
tisements in the Kirkman county
{ Kansas) LEADER Courier, and other
county weeklies are doing quite as
well, taking in an average of about
$1,000 per month for mortgage sales.
All young men who have desire to
engage in the newspaper business
are advised to go west. Go west,
young man go to Republican Kan
sas, where they vote $4,000 majority
for protection for Eastern manufac-
turers and the home market, and
burn corn during the winter for fuel.

UNCLE JosIAH's STATE POLICY.


Col. Patterson has one policy which
he is outspOken on, and nothing else
in State affairs. He proposes to re.
open the State debt question and re.
fund the old issue, the s, to 81 and
per cent. bonds at a lower rate of in.
terest. 1t is to be admitted that this
portion of the debt, when adjusted
at 100 cents in the dollar and the
railroad bonds scaled to so cents, all
were placed on equal footing and
should all have been funded at the
same rate OF interest. But it was not
done. What cause or influence oper-
ated to prevent it, we cannot say. 1t
was, however, settled as it is, and
the people given rest from a long
and vexatious agitation. Mr.. Pet
terson, five mistake not, was in the
Legislature and voted fer this settle
ment, and now does he propose to
reopen this question, renew the agi-
tation and bring the credit of the
State In disrepute again? 1.-The does
we hardly think the people will be
with him. The State is now incur
ing a floating debt every year to pay
interest, and it is extremely doubt
full If money can be had under such
circumstances at low enough rate of
interest to pay the cost of refunding
these bonds and save anything TO the
State.
Noticing the bond market we find
quoted by the American:
Tennessee 9 pei cent bonds...,...... 70 cents
............ lG0 "
United States per cent bonds.
Comparing Tennessee quotations
with United States per cent. bonds,
1t does not appear that the credit of
the State is in condition yet to be
shaken up by agitation and then 90
in the market to obtain money at
less rate of interest than at present,
At a five per cent. Tennessee bond is
worth only 100 cents, while U.
Is. per cent is worth 100, ii is hardly
possible to obtain money at less than
five per cent to refund these same
bonds. When the State clears its
floating debt and brings its 3's up to
or nearly par, then it will be posi-
bic to gain something by refunding,
but to open this question now will
unsettle values and do the State in.

OUR MAN ABOUT TOWN!
WHAT HE SEES AND HEARS DURING
THE WEEK.

Our Man finds everything quiet
this week. He visits many of our
business men and finds business in
all departments Of trade looming up.
Our business men tell us so and they
surely ought to know. The backbone
of dependency has been broken, and
the outlook for the Spring is excel
lent. While at the store of one of
our prominent merchants Our Man
was told that there has been an evi"
dent increase of business for the past
few days compared with last week,
and that he discovers feeling of in
creased confidence in business circles.
He says that the feeling of depression
brought about bv the failure of crops
is gradually fading away, and that
in every point Of view things look
more hopeful. This sort of talk is
indeed very encouraging and we hope
the gentleman 8 views are correct.
Leaving our friend. Our Man
makes his way to the wharf to visit
the fishermen. Here he finds every
thing gloomy. On account OF the
recent change in the weather the
catch fish has fallen off to COM
paratively nothing. None of the
fishermen are doing anything this
week fishing and they are sad look
ing set of people. Fishermen are
worked hard and are greatly exposed
to all sorts of severity, both of wind
and wave, and when the catch falls
off to what it has this week they get
'"blue as indigo;' yes, they have the
"Blues" about as bad as any set of
folks you ever saw. They carry long
faces and saddened hearts. Have
you ever had the "Blues," reader?
Well, if you have, you know how
they serve a fellow, so we wont talk
upon this subject any longer.
Thinking the desease ("Blues')
might be contagious we made our
way up town again, and, stopping at
the Market, for moment, we found
it we'll supplied with eatables and
business going on just the same.
Walking up town Our Man visited
the Mayors Office to see what was
going on there. At once we were
Informed that affairs in the Police
circles have been very quiet for some
days, and no cases of Importance
have been brought before the Mayor
for trial. This speaks we'll for our
town and people.
Having seen and beard enough
in one day we concluded to make O
halt and return to our business.
