A Sort of Political Catechism.
What is public land?

/ =
What is public land?
A sort of reserve fund, set apar
by laws of Congress for railroad
corporations, wealthy political ia
vorites, spectators and syndicate
to raise money OH for private uses
That long-eared fellow called 9Th
people" has no interest in it.
What is a government of tn,
people, By the people and for tn
people?"
1t is a government wherein tn,
body of the people, lacking conf
dence in their ability to attend t.
their own affairs, turn them over te
a conclave of booty lawyers, called
Congress and Senate, who in turr
farm them out to lobbyists, ano
then write longwinded speeches
which are never delivered but are
printed and mailed to their dearly
beloved constituents at public ex.
pense, to show that the writer's are
the friends of the laborer and should
be reelected; also, to show that a
man who is not a lawyer and can.
not make speech CD is not com.
petent to represent the people in
Congress. Thus it has happened
that public lands, including min
eral lands, have been gobbled up by
corporations to the tune, as some
authorities declare, of 386,OOO,OOO
acres, national banks established,
with power to control the volume
of money circulation, silver demon
etized, exorbitant tariffs levied, and
bounties paid at the expense of the
farmers, miners and stock-growers
of the country.
What is national banking?
1t is inducing the government to
become your surety for money
which you borrow from it at 1 per
cent and then loan to it and the
public at 10 to 100 per cent.
What is party fealty?
Concealing the crimes of your

of your party.
What is patriotism?
Enriching ones self as rapidly as
possible by populations in public
offices and trusts.
What constitutes "great man?"
Amassing great fortune by
means that require the burning of
your letters as a precautionary
measure.
What is a Congressman?
An attorney for wealthy corpora
tons and combinations whose prin-
cipal object and occupation is to
plumber the public treasury.
Why do such combinations prefer
Congressman as attorneys?
Because, while other lawyers can
do nothing but advocate their
the lawyer Congressman
can both advocate and vote for
them.
What is the salary of a Congress
man?
That varies. A "smart" one who
is so honest that the corporations
are always lauding his honesty fire.
quently earns several hundred
thousand dollars year.
What is a United States Senator?
A sort of political supernumerary
whom the founders of our govern
ment threw in" as a compliment
to the British house Of lords. In
other words, he is political mis-
take, who has so far proved very
expensive and should be abolished.

AN alleged silver miner from
Joplin, Missouri, named Butler, was
in town a few days ago airing his
vast stores of knowledge on the
subject of free coinage. According
to Mr.. Buller-and Secretary Pos
ter-American silver would not be
worth as much as lead were free
coinage adopted. Such twaddle is
offensive. The proposition before
the country is not to purchase sill
yer at any price, but to coin it.
Therefore were that $2OO,OOO,OO0
bugaboo of Fosters a reality it
could not get into our country to
be coined except in the way of an
exchange. We have products to
sell to Europeans, and in case our
exports exceeded our imports, the
balance in our favor might be made
good in either gold or silver. If the
accounts were balanced in silver we
would proceed to coin it at 1929
an ounce, and thus make it part
Of the money circulation Of the
country. And if Fosters imaSin-
airy $2OO,OOO,0OO should all arrive
in this country in single day, it
would add to the volume of our
circulation only about SO per cap
tia. If anybody can make calam-
ity out of this we would like to
see the operation elucidated.

PocATELLo is reaching out for a
smelter; and it is sensible in so
doing. Mining is one of the great
and growing industries of Southern
Idaho, and a smelter properly con-
Quoted will be a source of great
and continued profit to the town
that has the enterprise to secure it.
Boise City enjoys peculiar advant-
ages for such an establishment, but
seems to lack in public spirit and
enterprise.

THE New York World last week

THE New York World last week
enumerated 104 trusts, and among
them we noticed "smelter trust. }
This trust, the World says, controls
all of the important smelling plants
in the country, fact which posi-
bly, furnishes an explanation of the
anomoly of our smelter standing
idle. in the midst of ores and ad-
vantages enjoyed by no other plant
in the country. We are certain that
the prices our miners pay for the
treatment of their ores are more
than enough to coin double the
necessary cost Of smelling ores in
this place, with the many advanta-
ges we possess for doing the work
cheaply, and we feel quite certain
that men having 100000 invested
in an enterprise that could as we'll
as not be made remunerative would
not let their machinery lie idle and
their investments remain unprofit-
able from year to year for purely
perverse reasons. 1t is evident,
therefore, that the Ketchum smelt-
ers are not idle at the cost of the
proprietors. They are deriving o
profit from some source for refus-
ing to operate them, and what other
source SO probable as the trust
which has general control of the
entire smelling business of the
country. There is big money in
treating the vast output of ores of
the west, and vast capital in the
trust which controls the business,
taking from the miner more than
so per cent in excess of what would
be reasonable compensation for
the services rendered. The rail
roads are benefciaries of the mo-
and unless the law can be
so amended as to destroy the nefa-
rious combination, the miner must
continue to work without profit,
and the Ketchum smelters to stand
a monumental libel on the mines
Of the locality; for men will not
work when it pays them just as we'll

ease,

CLOSING PRICES OF PHILADELPHIA STOCKS.
WHAT WAS DONE IN STOCKS.

Tuesday, Jan. cop. N.
The stock market was not dull to-day; IL was
stagnant. The fluctuations which were extremely
narrow were made by traders whose only creed
is settlement OF the days business They sold
stocks at the opening because the morning news
was not favorable, and they bought them back at
loss, although they had no fresh information
Speculation Of this kind is completely outside OF
criticism. The traders who make the market
care nothing about the flow of gold from London.
the South American disturbances, or the silver
legislation at Washington. They have no interest
in anything, II they can gather small profit
from their operations. The fluctuations to-day
we're too narrow TO give fair chance even to
a professional trader. The London market was
so dull that arbitrage dealings were made with
some difficulty and the late purchases by houses
with foreign connections may not be Significant.
Ii is worthy of notice, however. that the rlmors
of fresh embarraSsments on account OF South
American troubles were denied III both public and
private dispatches. That the market IS waiting Tor
a settlement Of the silver question may not he
denied and yet there is a prevalent hehef IN
Wall Street that there can be no silver lcgISla-
ton at the present session Of Congress Bar

The apparent depression may have no real cauS''
and as the United States Treasury Will he "a
buyer tomorrow a recovery in the prices at both

The stocks that were most active were generally
the strongest. ST. Paul and Union Pacific were
conspicuous by their strength. and with few
speciatics they closed at practically their highest
figures but reasons for declines in other western
socks like Northwest and Burlington and Quincy
were not afforded by the news OF the day. whllc
losses in Lake Shore, Western Union aud Missouri
