DEPOPULATED MINERAL MINES.
The Mark Of the Cohorts Of
Repeal.
Gospel Truth From Our
Camp Correspondent.

The camp is nearly depopulated.
Every point of the compass could be
utilized in designating the routes
taken by the different parties. Paddy
King, as he is famliarly called, wife,
sister-in law and niece, left for Cali
fornia; Messrs. Shell and wife, jack
ley and wife. Shean, Casey, Dunn and
Whealin, left for Cornucopia, Oregon;
Messrs. P. Cunningham, Oglesby and
Callahan started out with no particular
point of destination in view.
All this scattering of these worthy
workers of the mines is brought about
by the cohorts of repeal, who can now
go to the millionaires of New Eng
land and doff their colts and demand
the balance of their pay for damning
the poor mans money. They have
taken from the nations circulation
$54, 900, 900 year and tell us it is
done TO cure the great depression and
money stringency. Was there ever
more absurd statement made to an
intelligent people? 1t is well known
that the repeal without substitute is
not the will of the people. 1t is also
known that the majority of the voters
of the United States are not mono
metallists. The farmers, cotton rails
ers, miners, laborers and maintainers
Of the focks are the majority. 1t is
off the industry of these classes all
the speculation is done. How long
will the people stand this imposition?
The friends of the poor and of silver
in congress are all right, if it we're
not that they are over solicitous to
maintain uninterrupted commercial
relations with England. We are
compelled to say, d-n commercial
relations with country that Wash
ington and Jackson had to subdue in
arms and is now silently and effectu-
ally subduing Cleveland financially.
Those hundreds of millions of gold
bonds that congress is proposing
, would surely be largely held in Eng
v land, and then the United States
i would be completely at the mercy o.
i the enemy. The millionaires of th,
+ east, or of New England, are as pro
n found enemies to the government a
any foreign foe dare be. The Roman
y republic was great and prosperou
p until the money of the nation got int
the hands of the few; it then went t.
l. pieces. In the estimation of th
d hordes of workers now idle and th
J. multitudes whose industries have be
N come valueless, it would be well fo
