SENATOR STEPHENS.
We Want $40 Per Capita - Unlock the
National and State Treasures and
Put the Money in Circulation.
Petite

Editor Gazette.
Referring briefly to your questions on
the subject of money, as connected with
politics, I have to state that in my opinion,
We should have more money in circulation.
say $40 per capita. The condition OF the
country requires more money than ever be-
fore, to move the ever increasing crops of
the farmers, to transact and carry On the
fast increasing business OF our cities,
towns and villages; TO aid in the develop
ment Of the country. such as purchasing
machinery, and opening up farms by the
farmers in the country, and building fac
tories, etc. in the cities. Besides this, the
people of this government, as a whole, are
more extravagant than ever before. Hence
more money is demanded per capita by
them than ever before. So we are 10
longer confronted by theory, but by a
condition, and unless this condition OF
things is not changed, bankruptcy and ruin
will follow.
The law of supply and demand governs
this money question the same as all others,
and in consequence of the supply being in
sufficient and the demand constantly III
creasing, the capitalists have been enabled
to eXtort from the labOrinS commercial and
agricultural classes the highest rate of in
terest and the most onerous terms for the
loan of their money.

as good reasons for this as for some other
acts of congress- Leaving of, however,
this constitutional question 1 do not think
the proposed bill would afford the relief the
people need The constitution OF the state
of Texas eXempts from mortgage and forced
sale 200 acres of land in the country, the
homestead of family and the lot or lots IN
city or town constituting the homestead
and place of business of the head of the
family Only those who own land above
the exemptions could secure the favor of
the government in the way Of a loan under
Governor Gibbs bill. Those who do not
need help from the government or from any
other sources would be the only beneficial
ries. The rich or well-to-do man under
this plan could get money at 2 per cent,
while the poor and needy would have to pay
regular banking interest to get IL. 1t is no
argument to say that the law might limit
the amount of interest to be charged. l be-
lieve the national banks are limited in this
respect now. but we all know they are daily
discounting paper from Is to 30 per cent.
No one can be compelled by law 10 loan
money, nor can any law prevent the dis
counting of paper. l have heretofore in
this letter, for the length of which [ beg
pardon. stated that l was opposed to any
system which made the people dependent
on banks for money. Instead Of encourage
ing by law the people TO borrow money
they should be encouraged to keep some
ahead. The only solution of the problem in
my opinion has already been substantially
stated, that is, the success of Democratic
principles, which means the reduction of
taxation, economy in the administration of
public affairs. free and unlimited coinage of
gold and silver aud the issuance OF such adj
ditional treasury notes as may be necessary
to supply the needs of the country. And in
addition let me say, we should build up
home enterprises and industries, keep our
money at home by patronizing them. When
we do this we will witness an era of pros
perity never before known in this country.
Respectfully, 10 ABBOTT,

LIEUTENANT-GcvER PENDLETON
The Key to the Situation is to Sell Higher
and Buy Lower-Sp}it the Protee-
tive Tariff.

Do we need more money! Yes.
How can we get it, Earn it. Make your
increase greater or your outcome less. Sell
higher or buy lower, or both. Well, but
you say how are we to earn 1t. We work
all the time, we cannot purchase more or
live on less. Very true, our American farm
ers are the most intelligent and thrifty in
the world. To ask them as rule TO prac-
tice greater industry or economy would be
an insult, but still to be more prosperous
and have more money they need to sell
higher or buy lower or both.
The government ought not to give money,
because to give to some it must first take
from others, and that would be unjust. A
loan must be repaid, and makes the man no
richer. So the only way that the Individual
can get money is to earn it, and the only
way to keep it is to have margin in his
favor. How to get that margin is the ques-
ton.
favor unlimited coinage of silver at such
ratio as will make it Interchangeable with
gold, and keep both metals in harmonious
circulation, and the government ought
probably to issue treasury notes to
I'LL the vacancy created by the withdrawal
of national bank notes, but If this results
in expansion and a rise in prices, it will
verify benefit the debtor, and that debtor
who already has margin in his favor, be-
cause what ne sells and what he buys will
rise in the same proportion, and if he had
no margin before, this expansion would not
give it to him. Sales and purchases would
Offset each other and he would be
No RICHER NOW THAN BEFORE.
The key to the situation in my opinion is
to sell higher and buy lower.
Most Of the great staples are raised for
export. The prices ut home and abroad, are
the same less the freights. If the freights
were reduced the net price would be higher
and we would get more for our products.
Give your ships loads both ways, and re-
quire your railroads to charge reasonable
rates TO the seaboard and your products
will rise IL price. Then how are we TO buy
cheaperl
By lowering the Chinese wall that a 80
per cent tariff has built around this country.
Reduce your tariff 80 per cent and buy that
much cheaper. You sell IN free markets,
you ought to bEy in markets as nearly free
IS the necessities OF the government will
allow. But the reply will be made that
goods are cheap enough already, anu that
they are rs cheap here as aoroad Goods
ere never cheap enough when the same
quality can be bought for less money in
some othe- market. They are not as cheap
here as abroad, or il weaid not be necessary
to b!iild wall 90 per cent high to Keep them

According to the Boston Transcript the
sensitiveness of celenium TO light has been
taken advantage Of by Professor Barn
ard of Iick observatory, California, who
has employed it in making device for
automatically detecting comets. y prism
IS placed in front OF the object glass Of the
telescope, and, as is well known, prism
viii divide a ray Of light into its primary
colors, red, orange, yellow, etc. Back OF
the prism is q metal diaphragm with Sits
corresponding TO the position of the three
hydrocarDon bands which characterize the
spectrum Of comets onl.. When the light
passes through the prism it is decom-
posed, and If the light is that from a
comet certain rays viii pass through
the Sits and ..,ll upon = celenium cell
which connects with i battery and an alarm.
The most curious thing about the process is
that the light Of ordinary stars does not
affect The apparatus ard that it is suscept-
ible only 10 comets. The telescope is made
to sweep the heavens by automatic ma
chincry, and as the alarm will ring if
comet sweeps across the face of the prism,

OUR DISTRICT COURT.
The First Term in Idaho County
Under the State GOUel'pnt

Hon. w. G. Piper, judge of the 2nd
judicial district of Idaho, convened his
court at Mt. Idaho on Wednesday, June
"A, and the manner in which he dis
patched the business before him re.
minded the spectators and pa participators
of the proceedings very strongly of the
methods of the late Judge Logan. Judge
Piper fully realses the fact that Justice
to be respected must be made cheap,
speedy and effectual.
He charged the grand jury at such
length that we are unable to publish it
in full, but brief extract or two will
give the tenor of the whole. He i'm
pressed upon them the importance of
protecting the stock raisers and people
of the county against all violations and
vlolators OF the laws, who make it
business to steal, dive away, SELL or
falsely brand cattle. horses or stock, the
property of others, as stock raising is
one of the principal industries in which
many people in Idaho county are en-
gagged in, and they should receive en-
couragement and be protected by the
law. The strong arm of the law, hon
estly and faithfully executed, is amply
sufficient for the redress of all wrong"
said the judge; and in dwelling upon
the matter further, he said: "When
evidence is produced sufficient to satisfy
your minds that the law has been vio-
lated in this respect, as we'll as in all
others, it is your sworn duty to see to it
that the law has its full force. and what
ever the law insists upon let it be en-
forced of your free will"
The court appointed Delos Carr fore
man of the grand jury, which further
verifies his good Judgment in placing a
good man at the head. The jury then
retired. and with district attorney as its
legal adviser, it performed its duty we'll.

the State of Idaho, in and for Idaho

We, your Grand Jury, duly empanel-
ed at the June term of this Court, would
respectfully show:
That we have carefully investigated
four cases which were presented to us.
and have found one true bill.
That we hayo examined the books of
the Auditor & Recorder, and those of
the Treasurer, and we find them care
fully and neatly kept, and that the bal
ances, on comparison, are correct.
The Court House and Jail and other
county buildings are in fair condition
and properly attended to.
That we recommend that our County
Commissioners proceed with all possible
speed in regard to purchasing a suitable
poor farm for Idaho County, and that
the County funds be expended in sup
port of the actual necessities of the
poor and INDECENT.
We further recommend that the Com
missioners provide convenient and
safe place for all the records of our
as the present Accommodations
are poor and insufficient.
We further extend our thanks to the
Judge and all other officials for the
courtesies shown us during our delib-
erations.
There being no further business we
