The Nav Mines.
Larned, Kas.

DENVER, Colo, December A.-Hun-
dreds of Colorado miners are leaving for
the reported rich gold placers on the
San Juan river, in southeastern Utah,
just across the Colorado line. The rush
promises to equal the stampede to
Creede aud Cripple Creek a year ago.
Several outfits have already left Denver,
and other companies are organizing. Re
ports from the alleged new discoveries
are very indefinite, but this fact only
adds to the mystery and excitement.
Stories Of fabulous riches are current,
and silver miners out Of work are willing
to take chances in the new country.

the nation to whom it rightly belongs
4 It is the, only recourse that can
never fail them, and it is an abundant
one for every necessary purpose. Treas
ury bills, bottomed on taxes, bearing OF
not bearing interest, as may be found
necessary, thrown into circulation, will
take the place Of so much gold and silver
l sincerely believe banking establish
ments are more dangerous than standing
armies"
In 1916, James Madison said:
alt ID essential that the nation should
possess a currency of equal value, credit
ard use wherever it may circulate. The
constitution has lntrusted congress, ex-
clusively, with the power of creating and
regulating q currency Of that deSCrip-
tion."
In 1887, John G. Calhoun, in speaking
upon this subject, said:
II insist that the duty Of congress is
commensurate with it's power. Why
should the government mingle it's credit
with that OF private corporstionsP"
And again, March %, 1888, he said:
"That paper issued by the govern
ment, with a simple promise to receive il
in all it's dues, leaving it's creditors to
take it or gold and silver, ct their ptiou,
would form perfect circulation"
Listen to President Jackson in 1929:
81 submit to the wisdom of the legis-
lature (congress) whether q national one
Currency, founded on the credit Of the
government and it's resources, might not
be devised which would obviste all con-
stitutional diff ,ulties, and at the same
time secure all the advantages to the
government and the country that were
expected to result from the present
bank Omitted States bank"
Mr.. Dallas, secre sry OF the treasury in
1916, said:
Whenever the emergency occurs that
demands change Of system, it seems
necessary to follow that the authority
which was alone competent to establish
the national coin is alone competent to
establish a national substitute"
l might continue quotations from
eminent authority along this line almost
without limit. But this will do for one
installment. It would be we'll for the
editor Of the Oapit0l and others Of Q sim
liar opinion if they would carefully read
the financial history of our republic
under a constitutional government. 1t
might aid them to wake up to the
emergency that now confronts as, and
make them better acquainted with the
demands of the period in which we live.
Especially they ought to study the fnsn-
cial legislation of the past thirty years.
A careful examination of this bill (H.
n 3I54) will clearly show the unpreju-
diced mind that it fully embodies the
financial plank of the Omaha platform OF
the Peoples party. Its objects and pro-
visions may be briefly stated thus:
l. 1t declares what shall be the Ameri-
can monetary unit Of value, and how 1t,
togsther with its mulhples and fractional
parts, shall be expressed and fashioned.
2. 1t makes all our paper issues
"money," and not promises"
3. 1t provides for the free coinage Of
both gold and silver, and provides for
both q metallic and paper fractional cur
rency, and the issue Of paper money.
A. All kinds Of money are made inter.

lish It's own methods of putting It's money
into circul 'tion among its citizens, fixing
uniform rate of interest for the entire
union, and that interest tax for public
revenue only.
8, It will give flexibility to the circula-
tion, and prevent spectators from max
ing corners, and prevent scarcity in
periods Of great demand.
10. It establishes central national de-
pository in each state in the union, and
enables each state acting in Injunction
with the secretary OF the treasury, to es-
tsblish perfect and uniform system Of
ready exchange and safe deposit for
every locality.
II. It eliminates usury from our in-
dustrisl system, and absolutely precludes
any speculations in money.
u. 1t calls in all issues Of paper money
once in ten years and replaces them with
q new series, giving the public the ad-
vantage Of any lose.
13. 1t is most emphatically measure
in the Interest," Of the "worksrs," and not
OF the "drones," in the busy hive Of
American industry.
IA. 1t coins a reasonable per cent. Of
the credit Of the entire nation into
american Dollars" instead Of coming
the doubtful credit of few bankers into
a circulating medium.
Is. It substitutes public credit, in
which all have full faith, for private
credit, in which few can have much con-
fidpnce.
16. It will stop piling up silver bullion
in the vaults of the treasury, or holding
gold reserves to redeem money that the
people are constantly redeeming every
day in the year by exchanging their labor
and products for it.
IL. Il puts an end to non-taxable gov
Srnment bonds drawing interest.
Is. 1t is one little step in the direction
Of fully emsncipsting labor from the
thralldom of capital, and robs Shylock Of
his occupation.
10. 1t at once gives US national sys-
tenn, sound, uniform, flexible and endur-
ing.
20. 1t places the sub-treasury idea
where each state can solve it in accord
ance with it's own local needs and condi-
tions
q. 1t practically says: "Service cer-
ti6cstes, Issued by all the people, and
universally accepted, and made full
legd tender for all debts, both public and
private, are the very best form of money
any nation can devise"
In fact this bill will effectually remedy
the difficulty suggested by Mr.. Window
in his report for 1890, page 81:
"The demand for money in this coun-
try is 30 irregular that an amount OF
circulation which will be ample during
ten months Of the year will frequently
prove so deficit during the other two
months as to cause stringency and COM
mercisl disaster. Such stringency may
occur without any speculative manipu-
lAtions Of money, though, unfortunately,
it is often intensified by such msnipu-
lstions. The crops of the country have
reached proportions 80 immense that
their movement to market, in August
and September, annually causes danger
ous absorption Of money. The lack of
sufficient supply to m et the increased
demand during those months may en-

the enjoyment of the encampment series
of very cheap excursions have been ar
ranged Richmond aud the historic bat

cation ceremonies which will occur Oct,
11th and 18th. At the same time there
will be an encampment and grand review
