The Eberhardf Mines.

The San Francisco Mining and scien-
tific Press says the famous old Eber-
hardt mine in White Pine, Nevada, is
closed down, ior the manager had no
longer any hope Of finding ore in pay
ing quantities, as the upper levels con-
tain nothing OF any great value. The
Monitor mine, also belonging to the
New Eberhardt Co. OF London, shows
no large returns, though self-supporting'
They have spent $4,000 TO test the
property, though the estimate was bali
that sum. This did not suit the share
hol iers, so at meeting the other day
in London they decided to quit silver
mining altogether in Nevada and turn
their attention to gold mining in South
Africa. The Eberiiardt and Monitor
mines are to be sold. This will end the
career Of this once famous company on

Hon. I. N. Patterson's paper. the
Rocky Mountain News Of Denver, has
this to say OF President Cleveland 3
message:
The line is drawn. On one side is
orover Cleveland and all the power OF
MS administration to force the country
al what ever cost, TO the gold standard
on the other are the people with all
their vast Interests, struggling to restore
the bi-mettalic standard and thus save
themselves and their country from utter
business ruin.
Mr.. Cleveland maintains that our
pre~ent unfortunate financial plight Is
principally chargeable 10 the Sherman
act.
His argument upon tins proposition
leads to the conclusion, that il is the
Interpretation which the treasurer places
upon the clauses OF the act defining his
duties and limiting his discretion, that
produces that very unfortunate financial
plight.
As II is, the secretary in violation
OF the plain letter Of the law, with the
presidents approval, has made the gov.
ernment's obligations payable in gold
alone, and has thereby established
clear discrimination in favor OF
gold"

The chances for gold mining in Ari-
IONA grow better every week. The at.
tention OF prospectors and investors in
being daily attracted not only to the new
gold fields in the Superstition, but to
other localities where good mines ara
being found and developed.
The following from the San Francisco
Chronicle fits Arizona as well az CaIiior.
nis:
Gold properties are now at a premium
all over the country. The old time
miner. seeing nothing more in silver or
copper and lead, ,s casting about for a
gold mine.
Once a miner always miner. There
is charm about gold mining that no
man can ever throw off. With the
closing down Of the mines in Colorado,
Montana and elsewhere, It Is believed
that there will De a greater revival Of
mining in this state. The sturdy old
prospector, driven from his silver prop
erty, will begin TO prospect the bills of
California anew. They will come from
the Sierra Madres and the Sierra Ne.
vsdas to delve for gold.
Such is the opinion OF the most ex-
perieneed men in the business in Cali
iornis. They look forward to a great
revival in mi ing way and very great
increase in the output OF the precious
metal.
The Pacific Stock and Exchange Board,
after full consideration OF the new or.
der OF things, determined that every
encouragement should be gwen this
new departure.
II resolves that for period Of thirty
days gold stocks might be listed without
any expense to the companies whose
stock might be offered for sale. Under
the old rules such company desiring to
lis, its stock was required to pay $500.
The listing OF stocks carries with il
certain advantages, especially when it is
desired to raise revenue. While many
silver properties were made the play
thing OF the spectators and possibly
even ruined, thousands OF others were
built up and given great advantages in
having their names on the call list.
There is very little money to 90 into
silver mines, but there is plenty Of it for
gold properties. To encourage the de
veiopment Of gold properties this special
concession has been made by the stock
board.
Up 20 the present time the stock OF
only three or four gold mines have been
listed. II is believed that the change
will be generally acceptable and bene-
fetal.
1--WE are of opinion" said Maurice
schmitt yesterday, ''ihat thousands OF
miners will come into California from
the silver states and will develop gold
mines. After hydraulic mining was for
hidden by Law the mining industry was
largely neglected. Men will now revive
il and the stock board wants to help
them. That is all the concession means.
When stock is called interest IL
aroused and gold stock may he fioated
that way which would never get buyer
or bidder"
That in brief way explains the at
titude of the stock board toward gold
prospects. 1t is indicative OF the tend
eucies Of the times.

THOUGHTS ON MONEY"

"Jab Fox" in an article on the
above subject, in the Tidings, makes
this point:
But, mark you, THE GOVERNMENT CAN
MAKE NO USE OF THE FULL LKGAL TENDER
TREASURY NOTE AS A REIIRB IN TIE PRESENT
NATIONAL RMBRGRNoY. It would berepudia-
tion and national dishonor. WhyP Because
by the terms of the contract the interest on
the public debt is payable in coin, and BY
subsequent resolution of congress the prin-
oipal also is payable in coin, and any future
treasury note must have an exception
clause" in its legal tender provision. The
damnable exception clause Of 1853 must be
endorsed upon the note, because the gov
ernment must collect duties on imports in
coins in order to pay the public debt.
By the original contract the FIVE
twenty bonds were payable in illegal
money of the United States" The
legal contract has been set aside and
The advocate and Topeka tribune., 1893-07-26

by subsequent Legislation these bonds
made payable IN coin. In practice
they have been payable only in gold,
and by this practice the original debt
has been more than doubled; and still
we hear nothing about a violation of
contract on this account. 1t would
seem as though the precedent estab-
lished would justify at least a return
to the terms Of the original contract
by which the principal of the debt
would be payable in legal tender
notes.
But granting all that is claimed in
favor of coin payment of the balance
of the debt, the amount of it that re-
quires to be thus paid is compara-
tlvely small, and affords no objection
to the issue of any amount of legal
tender paper currency for all other
purposes. Give us an abundance Of
legal tender money for commercial
purposes, and it will matter very lit
tie to the people what kind of money
is used to pay the remainder of the
bonds. There is coin and bullion
enough now locked up in the treasury
vaults to pay them.
The advocate and Topeka tribune., 1893-07-26

TIE Lawrence World is taking a
manly stand on the silver question;
but it will find in the course of time

The farmer who is wise this year will hold
his wheat until the financial stringenoy has
disappeared. The trouble with wheat, as
with cattle, is the lack Of money.-Cspital,
July %.
Tut, tut, tut; that's rank heresy.
It's calamity; It's anarchy; and be-
sides all that the Capital said on the
10th inst, that these things were
bringing good prices, and that "every
factor Of prosperity is present, except
popular confidence" This will never
do. Recall the above heretical state
ment at once, and say the editor was
outiand the ''devip' stuck the item in
to ruin the reputation of the paper.

AS THE bank and business failures
increase throughout the country the
''financiers" meet periodically IN
New York and issue circulars and
send out dispatches telling the peo-
pie Of the improvement in the fnan-
cial situation. "Our debts represent
our prosperity" you know.
The advocate and Topeka tribune., 1893-07-26
1.-THE RESPONSIBILITY OF THE PEO-
PILE"

Under this title the Capital of July
20 has a prosperity editorial from
which we clip the following:
There is NO speculation in the country.
The crop prospects are good. Wheat and
oats are laid by and are fair crop; corn is
safe and will be an immense yield at highly
remunerative prioea; Notwithstanding the
fall in prices of everything due to financial
stringency, cattle get good price and hogs
are twice as high as three years ago; hay is
one Of the biggest crops for years, with an
unparalleled demand abroad that means big
prices; wheat has been advancing a little
even in the face of the financial disturbance.
The point is that every factor of prosperity
is present except popular confidence.
On the day that this was pub
lished wheat was quoted at 63B cents
in Chicago, which would make the
price in this city about 46 cents Corn
was quoted at 39g cents which would
make the price here about % cents.
Cattle were quoted IN Kansas City
at from $1.4O to $2S5. Hogs brought
the best price of anything and were
quoted at $3.50 to $500. People in
various parts of the state can readily
estimate the price they would realize
by deducting freight and other OK
penses.
A correspondent writing from Pratt
county to this Office states the price
of wheat in the local market at 30
cents; and Jefferson county farmer
brought a load of the very best No. 2
wheat of last years growth to this
city on Wednesday of last week
which he was obliged to sell at AZ
cents. Verify here is ''every factor
of prosperity except popular con-
fidence." If the Jefferson county
farmer who sold his wheat for AZ
cents bushel only had little more
popular confidence" it wouldn't
matter whether his wheat would bring
anything in the markets or not; and
if we all had plenty of popular con-
fidence" we wouldn't need any money
or other medium for the exchange of
our products. This Capital scrib-
bier has a great head.

ONE of the effects of the national
bank failures now taking place will
be the redemption of their notes,
thus still further contracting the cir
Culating medium. Every dollar re-
tired increases the value of every
other dollar in existence, and still
further enriches the holders of Sc
curities payable in dollars. Does
any one believe this panic is unpre-
meditated

WEDNESDAY, JULY 26, 1893.

Nor single new factory will be built un-
Gil free trade is knocked out again.-Kansas
City Gazette.
When was free trade knocked in,
and who is saying anything about
free trade anyway?
The advocate and Topeka tribune., 1893-07-26

Ihe article, II true, would clearly
Justify the use of the head lines. II
asserts that the state officers are at
the head OF q systematic conspiracy
to wreck the state financially and
morally; that secret meetings are be-
ing held at the state house for that
purpose; that at one of these meet
ings plan was formulated to induce
eastern people to send as much money
to the state, for investment as possi-
bic. then to pass q law suspending
the collection of debts and giving the
mortgsgor indefinite time for pay
ment. The correspondent assures
the unsophisticated readers of the
Times that the reorganization of the
militia and the psrdoning of prison
convicts is a part of the dark conspir-
acy and that the cultivation of an
archy is the chief industry in Kansas.
He gives a column Of this kind Of
trash and supplements it all with a
reproduction of the old story Of the
Videttes, which he says "was an an
archistic organization the svowed
purpose of which was to burn, destroy
and murder He does not mention
that at the investigation in which the
republican state committee was
proven guilty of participation in the
Coffeyville dynamite conspiracy it
was also shown that the motto Of the
Vidette order was "purity in politics"
and its object the enforcement Of law
and order. The object Of the whole
article was to convince that a bloody
revolution ls imminent in Kansas and
that the Populist party will be re-
responsible for it. All this and much
more was in this hesrt-rending story.
Yet the strangest thing connected
with the subject is the fact that such
outrageous stories are republlshed in
Kansas papers This one appeared
IN the Capital of July 20.
Now, we submit to the calm and
candid reader in Kansas, who under
stands the spirit which prompts such
outrsges, what must be their effect
on the state? What is there in the
way of literature that will keep good
people and capital out of state and
wreck it SO effectuslly as this? And
we submit to ..the reader outside the
state, who may not understand the
situation, can you blame us if we try
to drive the perpetrators of such out
RACES from Kansas? and will you find
fault if we resort to the good old
fashioned treatment of tar and feath-
ers in order TO accomplish the desired
end? Certainly not.

The advocate and Topeka tribune., 1893-07-26
THIS CALLS FOR TAR AND FEATH-
ERS,

Il
certain writer's and public speakers
expect to witness very soon in case
certain things are not done, and
others left undone, by congress and
the president. This is serious to con-
template, but we have a condition here
in Kansas which calls for different
treatment.
We have here a class of miscreants
too vile to be entitled to the time
honOred trial by jury. and the i'm
prisonment or hanging which are sc-
corded to ordinary criminals. We
refer to the work of the stand-up-
for Kansas newspaper mercenaries
who have been so shamelessly defam-
ing the people of Kansas for pay and
for political purposes.
This process of self-slsnder, for
that Is what it amounts to, was car
ried on by the republican press of the
state from the time the Union Labor
party became faction in politics
until the Populists elected a full
state ticket in 1892, a period of over
four years. During that time no kind
Of misrepresentation of a political
nature was too vile for them to in
dulge in. 1t is useless to recount
how the most law abiding class of
people in the state we're represented
as anarchists and revolutionists, for
most of our readers are familiar with
the history. Finally most of the edi-
tors who inaugursted this business
grew tired of il for the reasons that
their readers had already grown tired
of 1t, and the effect politically was
just the opposite from what was in
tended. That class Of citizens which
was being lied about gathered
strength until they were able to take
charge of the state government.
When the situation dswned on the
minds of the sensational editors Of
the state the fake writer found him
self out of job. Did he leave the
state? Well, hardly. He has found
a new field of labor in the same line,
but he is still here. He has found
that eastern papers and their readers
are as easily imposed on as Kansans
used to be, and he is now engaged in
rehsshing old lies and furnishing
them to the papers of New York,
Boston, Philadelphia and other cities.
To these papers he has attached him
self as correspondent, and is dishing
up the vilest kind of sensation at 30
much per column. In addition to his
pay the fake writer has the satisfac-
ton of seeing the stuff reproduced
now and then in a Kansas paper
whose proprietor has grown too poor
to pay for writing it, but in whose
editors breast the bitterness of defeat
still rsnkles and prompts him to re-
mark "what eastern people think of
Kansas"

matter, which is said to have been
