Cost and Profit and Bonds.

In a speech made January 18th,
1874, by Senator Beck, of KY, the
following table was given and it's cor
rectness vouched for. Since then the
bonds thus bought have been made
payable in gold, brought to a premi-
UNI over gold, and used as base for
bank circulation. 1t is no wonder the
few are millionaires and the masses
find their homes under mortgage and
themselves in Strengthened circum-
stances. Save the table and draw it
on every one that offers a plutocratic
argument:

GEN. wEAvEK's SPEECHES.

On the arrival OF No. yesterda ny
General Weaver came out of the Gay
coaci, n conpanied by Hon. Geo Il,
Nixon, OF Win nemucca, who had gone
up t"' Wolls to meet him, and after
meeting few Of our citizens,
mounted table and addressed the
people as follows:
FELLOW C1rTEENs-I nm glad in
deed TO be able to meet with you to-
day, and bring to you the good tidings
that 1 have found every one with US
in this struggle from the great Mlsiss-
Jpn valley to Colorado and on TO Ne
vada, there are silver men everywhere.
1t is great life wave sweeping over
this country. 1t is a great battle from
the city TO the country, great battle
Tor the rights of the people here with
out regard to where they may live.
We have reached period in the his
tory Of our country when men no
longer have TO bow down to a few
corporations in few cities, and when
we have great battle in which all
will he joined in the struggle. We
want freedom to-day and have joine1
Ia this movement that will stir this
country from one end to the other.
God, for some inscrutibla reason,
has deposited vast wealths Of silver
in your mountains, and in the mount
aims west OF the mississippi river,
Colorado and her sister States, aud
nothing to-day but class laws inter
feres between these deposits and
the people, and these laws must be
repealed before we can get the silver.
There is one party in ths campaign
for which there is 10 more hope, no
chances for it. / mean what am
saying, and that will give you MY
reasons for. Is it not possible that
the Chicago nominees will take a
large number Of States from the Re-
publicans OF the East and the Omaha
nominees will take the larger part Of
the electoral votes on the West and
what chance is there for the nominees
OF Minneapolis to be in the baltic?
Now, how is it with our party? 1t
will go South and contend with the
nominees of the Chicago convention
l have been therein Georgia, North
Carolina, Mississippi and South Caro-
lima are all for our party and Kansas
is also with US. We were received in
Denver as We have been here to-day
;fsaI all along our route to California,
md will 20 on to Oregon, Washington,
Idaho and Montana, going until the
18th CT 10th, then will make our di-
rection South and then push East of
the Mississippi having the South for
our right tiunk.
Gen. Field ~ould have been with
me here to-day bat for the fact that
old Virginia would not let him leave.
He writes me from Uuipepper, the old
home where his family have resided
for two hundred years. He tells me
WIZ w LILO
Peoples party, and SO l wish you to
remember that when you hold your
ground on the silver question that
you are not alone, that everywhere in
these United States are joining with
you. And / care nothing Tor the po-
litical fields we have been in in the
past, what we have seen in the past,
what corporations and what cities
have held sway. And remember that
you are not alone in this great battle,
the result OF which will DO seen next
November.

AS the trnin moved slowly out Cen
eral Weaver and those who uccom-
panied him got aboard aud
were soop landed in Carlin in the
midst OF a severe wind storm.
The people Of Carlin were out in
full force uud crowded into the H.
brary and listened to the following
speech:
Felbo1u Citizens: Even tho ele-
ments seem to be vyiug with the peo-
pie here to creats as much Of com.
motion as possible, but this il moth
ing compared to the great one that
will sweep over this country, between
now and November, carrying with it
the force, the power and the will of
tho millions Of people till it will equal
the greatest ever known. You are
the most patient people in the world
out here. For twenty years you have
been PRAYING and petition;ng your
respective political PAL ties to co me to
your relief.
You have in your mountains wealth
enough to make this earth bud and
blossom as the rose you have been
patiently petitioning your Congress
aud your parties, and hoped against
hope that they would come to your
relief and come to your assistance,
bit they have betrayed you. They
have invited your confidence and the
plighted faith they have made to you.
year in and year. out, might be com
pared to two old negroes in Southern
parts, who prayed for Il turkey, prayed
that each might have Il good Thanks
giving turkey. They agreed to pray
and the next morning came together
to compare notes. B'rer Jake says to
B'rer Zeke, "wa our pra'r answered."
mo, B'rer Jake, prayed right hard
to the Lord but got 10 turkey, but
know the reason, B'rer Jake, it's
cause We did not ask the Lord RICH
Lots go home and go in our closets
and ask the Lord for our turkeys and
he surely will send them. So they
prayed that night in their closets and
the next morning. "B'rer Jake, did
you get yo' turkey?" mo, get no
turkey; something the matter with
B'rer Jake. B'rer Zeke, did you get
your turkey?" Yes, I got my turkey;
you see [ changed the pra'r. The
first night / asked the Lord TO send
me turkey, and didn't get nome
next night l ask for turkey and he
sends rue the answer, to go get my
turkey and not wait for it to come to
me. [Applause,l
Now you have been praying for re-
lief, to be sent the free and unre-
stricted coinage Of silver, to replace
the class laws here, but your prayers
have never been answered and [ am
very much mistaken il you do not
ask tho Lord to send you after the
free coinage Of silver. Now let me
tell you the greatest mistake that
ever was made is the idea that the u.
S. Govern ment resides at Washington.
That is not the Government, that ia
only it's place of business--here, 1 be-
hold before me, the Govern ment, that
consists OF the people. And does it
ever rain in this country but the sun
eyaporates the water from the face of
the earth, drains it up to the clouds
and at tho proper times gives it back
, to the earth again in it's season TO
fall? Now let mo tell you, you are the
surface OF politics and you need never
expect the Government to come from
Washington to relieve you, until you
first have managed to send it there

A number of Cooperstown people
and the ball club went to Jamestown
last Friday on purpose to see game Of
ball between Sanborn and Cooperstown
for a big purse. When the boys arrived
at the fair they were told they had
come too late and that they could NOT
play and were cordially invited by the
management to stand around and take
in few heats of a hippodrome year
old trotting match and get their eyes
filled with Jim River Valley sand. It.
is to be regretted tnat the management
did not sandwich the game in some
where inasmuch as the Cooperstown
people went to jamestown just for that
purpose and because they were adver-
tised to be there. The freezer all t,ot-
ting race was first-class, the time being
2:264. The agricultural exhibits were
the finest that could be produced In any
state, and the exhibits Of stsck were.
fine, and, barring the fact that the dis
appointed ball cranks saw no game, the
fair was decided success. It weuld
be . graceful act on the part of the
management to send our ball club =
check for 500 to pay their expenses oc-
casioned BY the wild goose chase.
