RAnRnAn TALK.

We see lately q good deal Of railroad
talk in the papers from a new source.
The Northwestern road is said to be
heading for the Coast. Its present west
ern terminus is 10 the Black Hills coun-
try. As the paper story runs IL is to
form . junction with the Central Pacific
Just over the Nevada line at Corrinne In
Utah. From that point west it has ar
ranged TO use the Central Pacific track.
This lie the sort Of agreement the Santa
Fe has on the south. 1t unites with the
Southern Pacific at Mohave, and from
there to San Francisco uses the track oil
the latter. II is not an independent or
competing service at all. The trains OF
the respective roads are consolidated and
made up into one at Mohsve, and from
there in there is but one road running
through the country. 1t appears that
we may have the same thing in Nevada
two companies with one road and one set
| Of trains. There is not much in this for
the State, nor for the development OF
our resources. A second road to be Of
much service TO Nevada must pass
through the mineral heart Of the State.
This lies on an eversge from n hun
dred to one hundred and fifty miles south
| of the Central Pacific line.

c,rr,rsr.uy,,s IN Idaho.

A report is telegraphed from Boise
City that cattle are dying by the thous-
ands in southern Idaho. That is the
portion oil our northern neighbor Dor.
derine onto Nevada. The snow up that
way is said to have fallen from two feet
to five feet deep, completely covering all
Of the feed in that section. We have no
doubt that the snow is very deep in that
region. Snowstorms in the mountains
usually travel in belts, that is to say that
there are belts along which the deposit
is much greater than in other sessions
near by. The late great storm in Ne
vada was heaviest from Palisade east to
about the Utah line. The fall was much
lighter both east and west Of this belt.
The deepest point was in the vicinity Of
Humboldt Wells. But so far as we are
advised the cattle have not suffered
badly 80 far in the present Winter. They
went into the Winter rolling fat up to
the holidays. The notable storm Of the
season brought with it heavy fall Of
snow, but it soon settled so that cattle
had a chance to survive Notwithstanding
its depth. Since then there has also
been a good deal of thswing weather.
Bitter cold is always fatal to range cat
tie. We do not look for any great per
cent Of loss this Winter. There is an
abundance Of Winter food everywhere,
and cattle are still strong enough to
rustic for it. Besides there is also 9
great deal of hay in the country which
can be fed to stock wherever it becomes
necessary. The days are growing per-
ceptibly longer. which is another favor
able circumstance for stock and stock
men.

TO REPORTAFREE COINAGE BILL

By the terms Of a resolution adopted
by the House Committee on Coinage,
Weights and Measures, a vote will be
taken Wednesday. February 10. on the
question Of reporting to the House a bill
for the free and unlimited coinage of sill
yer. This decision was reached harmo.
niously, at a meeting free from dispute.
The proceedings of the Committee in
dictate that it i'll report a free coinage
bill.
The Coinage Committee considered the
proposition to report a bill to appoint an
international Monetary Congress, and
by q vote Of seven to two, decided to re.
port it adversely.
The Coinage Committee this session ia
composed Of q majority Of real, not
n~ake.believe friends Of silver. and they
will compel the members of the House
10 show their hands on the question. 1t
is not likely that a majority of the House
will be intimidated by the threat that il
they pass a free coinage bill the next
House will be Republican, and will
avenge itself on the South for voting for
free coinage by passing the Force bill,
which passed Mr.. Reeds House by q
straight party vote, and was defeated by
Senator Jones. Stewart. Teller and VOL
colt in the Senate.

AnaxRER aN SILVER.

A director Of q London bank said to
the editor Of the Denver Mining Indus
try a few weeks ago, at would be worth q
million pounds to me to know that your
country would adopt free silver coinage
this Winter. And then be gave his reason
why il would be worth so much as fol-
lows: There are ESQ, 900. 600 oflndiAn
securities owned in London, which ad-
vance and fall in price with silver. Free
coinage in your country would advance
their value 30 per cent"
"Do you believe that the United
States could, by adopting free coinage,
advance the price Of silver everywhere
to it's coinage valuel" asked the editor.
The answer came, why shouldn't it!
Europe has not spare silver enough to
send there to break the market. All We
could send would not pay for your ex-
ports oil wheat, to say nothing Of other
exports. In your rapidly growing coun-
try YOU could absorb all the annual sill.
YER product of the world, if you could
get it. But you could not get it"
Then in the course OF a long converse
tion on the question he brought out this
point, which is a fundamental doctrine
in all political economies, but which most
gold monometslists will not recognize.
viz: Everything gets its value from the
use which can be made Of it. You have
an American silver dollar in your hand.
The bullion in it is worth about three
shi.lisSs, or rs rents. You can take il
to "a Cornhill street and get four shill.
ings or 96 cents for it. The reason is be.
cause it is worth 100 cents in the United
States, and a money broker can make
money by giving 96 cents for it. 1t you
had free coinage we could make the same
use Of silver bullion that we now make
Of your coined dollars, and it would con.
sequently advance to it's value every
where"
"Do you think Europe would send sill.
yer to the United States and exchange it
for gold if we adopted free coinage?"
said the editor.
Europe could not send much" was
the reply, "and what she did send
would be exchanged for whatever there
was the most profit N buying. 1t might
be wheat, or cotton, or gold, or any
other thing. But there would not be
much 60 to the United States. As soon
as you adopt free coinage silver will sd-
vance so much in price here that there
will be little profit in sending il to your
country. If you adopt free coinage, the
Latin Union will adopt it, and then il
you keep your rule Of l6 to l, as it ID
cow, and the Latin Uunion retains LOT
to l, your silver will come to Europe in
stead of being coined, because it will be
worth more in Europe than America"
This conversation was with a London
banker Of national repute, who was and
is a gold monometalist. But be is
gold monometalists, simply because he il
not in favor Of having any more money
IN the world.
The statements be made are incontro-
vertible, as almost every student of po-
litical economy and monetary science
knows.

The gold men say: Free coinage is for
the benefit Of silver mines, and there
fore, for this reason, free coinage should
not be adopted. But what about the
gold mines and their kith and kin? An
argument that won't work both ways
when the cases are analogous, isn't worth
much, is it? Well, now, who ever heard
this urged to stop the free coinage Of
gold, which has been going on for ell
these years? Not a word. And yet il
is just as liable to this objection as sill
yer.
Let the people, who are appealed to on
this ground, make a note of it and they
will see how partial and selfish the argu-
ment is which would prevent free coin.
age for such a reason.
No, mol Let us have fair play and
give one as good a chance as the other in
this respect. That is what the free coin.
age men are willing to do. And that is
what equal justice demands.
Certainly no fair-minded man can
object to this. Only an interested, sell
fish gold partisan will do SO. That is
plain.
But that is not the reason why free
coinage is demanded. 1t is a mere pre-.
tense to dissipate public attention. The
real truth is, it is demanded because it is
for the common interest Of the whole
people. That is what we are here for
and that is the only reason. Tell the
eruth.-National View.

one or two instances Of successful resis-

Soils of Temperate Regions.

In temperate regions of moderate
warmth and moderate rainfall, we find
soils produced both by the chemical and
physical forces of the atmosphere. In
the North we may find drift soils. In
small areas peaty soils are seen. 1t Is
also possible to discern saline lands and
possibly small areas of alkaline lands,
when, for some region, the rainfall has
been limited to less than twenty inches
the year. The moisture OF temperate
lautudes favors the formation of clay in
the soil. The soluble compounds, the
salts of lime and potash, are slowly re-
moved by the rains, and where cropped
without the use of stable manures, such
soils tend TO become heavier and heavier,
that is, more aud more clayey year by
year Stable manures deccnpose and
add humus to such soils, making them
more porous and open to the air.
While undecomposed mauures should
not be added to soils in the arid re-
gions, they are necessity In temperate
regions, where the problem is how to
secure the humos, and the salts OF
potash and phosphorus in the cheapest
torms.-New York Independent.
