Eureka weekly sentinel. [volume] (Eureka, Nev.) 1887-1902, 1893-02-11

That v%irulent goldbug newspaper, the
San Francisco BuIIetin. says:
1.-THE Nevada Legislature has virtually
defeated . resolution addressed TO tie
congressional delegation in favor OF the
Nicsrsgus Canal. The ground taken was
that il limited the action Of Senator
Stewart and Congressman Newlands IN
any silver 6ght that may come up 1t
Washington. That is. those gentlemen
propose to trade the Nicaragua Canal for
free silver coinage. Al the i~ostigstion OF
local interests they are ready to sacrifice
the most important undertaking Of the
age for the benefit Of United States COM
merce, for . measure which Is condemned
by the sblest inanciers Of the country.
The Ballstin spesks for San Francisco
and itself. By the building Of the Mica
u Canal, San Francisco, before any
other place in the United States. would
be benefited, and the benefits would be
enormous. On the other hand, the con-
demnation Of free coinage by tine ablest
fnanciers Of the country. If the Bulletin's
statement were true, 10 nothing more
than criminal libel on the greatest imam
cial interest Of the country, and . battle
by the money lenders and usurers Of Wall
street against the people for their own
and sole benefit. that is depopulsting Ne
vsda and taking the bread out OF the
mouths Of her citizens, - also Of those
Of all the other silver producing States
and Territories. The Bulletin evidently
foreets that Nevads's silver in . great
measure built up San Francisco and made
that city what il is. California in the
last election was very cold blooded. and
in place OF supporting our silver candi-
dates for the Presidency and Vice-Presi-
dency, voted square against US 10 support
Of her own interests a. . gold producing
State. II the building Of the Nicaragua
Canal 10 the most important undertaking
Of the age. it will also prove a very re-
munsrative one. and the friends Of the
scheme who will garner the profits to be
derived from il should alone bear the
burden Of expense in its construction and
not try TO saddle 9 subsidy debt upon
an already overtaxsd people. While the
people Of Nevada. ell things being equal.
are willing TO carry their share Of the
National burden. they are not willing to
support the pet schemes Of other States
that are eternally, in their own selfish
interests. betraying them without 3 fair
trade in return. OF course the Bulletin
is simply patriotic in supporting the
canal subsidy and nothing more, but 1t
fails TO point its finger ct the Central and
Union Pacific subsidy steal which linked
San Francisco by six days travel to the
Atlantic shore. II matters not that the
owners Of these trsnscontinental lines
may ct any day, after having become
enormously wealthy at the expense Of the
people, particularly of the Pacific slope,
turn them over TO the Government, with
even the interest on the bonds unpaid, the
Bulletin overlooks the injustice against
the people. but cries like . baby when
the only interest that maintains Nevada
is advocated. We nevertheless urge our
Washington representatives, 10 vote
against the Nicaragua Canal subsidy, or
any other like scheme, frst, last and all
the time, until the free coinage Of silver
shall be restored in the United States.
