Morning appeal. [volume] (Carson City, Nev.) 1877-1906, 1893-10-20

OF course President Cleveland has
not called upon the wife of General
Grant. Maybe he did not care. 1t
is an even thing whether the dis
courtesy was due to ignorance or the
boorish instincts within him which
have always made him impatient to
those who fought the battles Of the
country between 81 and 90. The
chances are that had the daughter of
Jefferson Davis visited Washington,
if he had not called in person, Mrs.
Cleveland would by his direction, for
there is where his sympathies were
at the time of the war, and have
been ever since. The truth about
HIM he Is coarse and dull, obstinate
beyond all reason, and at the same
time so intensely partisan that he
can see no good in the other side,
and does not think any courtesy is
due from him to any one on the
other side, no matter how .exhaulted
their station may be. This has been
a wonderful century, but when it
shall be over and the historian picks
up the threads Of events and COM
mences to weave them into history,
the most difficult matter which he
will have to explain will be how such
man as Grover Cleveland reached
the Presidency twice; how as Presi-
dent he defed laws which did not
suit him, and yet was able to- pose
before the great American people
as patriot and statesmen, raised up
for some noble and glorious work.

4 DANGEROUS STANDARD.

The average Eastern banker and
broker is so utterly opposed to silver
he will hardly tolerate a word on the
subject of bi-metallIsm. Any man
to his mind who expresses any favor
for free coinage of silver is put down
as a crank or an enemy of civilization
and traitor to his country. But
this is just the opposite to the actual
facts, that is, if there is merit in the
views of Hon. w. III. Grenfall, for
merly governor of the Bank of Eng
lana, who in an article in the Fort
nightly Review of London, says:
"The evils which have resulted,
and must in the future result, to the
trade between England, as a gold
standard country fand India and
other silver sta Bard countries,
owing to the demonstration craze,
are so obvious that it is almost un-
necessary to recapitulate them
Without common measure of value,
free trade, or indeed any trade at all
on a stable basis, is impossible. AS
loug as bi-metallism existed there
was stable measure of value; there
was one standard founded on two
metals, and to the merchant it mat
tered little whether he was paid i'll
gold or silver.
CAS- long as bi-metalhsm existed
there was no silver question, but
now the all important question to
merchants trading with silver using
countries is the plice of silver; and
trade carried on on these lines Is not
trade, but gambling; and if gold con-
tinues TO appreciate at the present
rate, our trade with silver using
countries must become a thing of the
past.
Turn to what portion of the
civilized world you will, the same
question will confront you; it holds
the field in America; in Europe, in
Australia; everywhere has the exper-
iment-the disastrous experiment
of trying to make one metal do the
work which hitherto has been done
by two, produced the inevitable evil
results. The Financial Record.

EDITOR or HERALD your last issue
| notice a criticism in regard to that por-
ton of my address to the State Grange
which relates to Road Improvement and
you make me say that ''while favor
the new highway law, it bears hardest on
the farmers, as all taxes do" And then
YOU proceed to criticise my position. In
this you do me an injustice; because did
not say that the new highway law "bears
hardest on the farmers, ana neither did
say that 'all taxes do" VIII you please
print the following, which is just what
did say, and let your readers judge for
themselves whether my position is correct
or not?
The farmers OF the State are in favor of
good roads, and they are willing 10 be
taxed to a reasonable extent for their con
strueti0n and maintenance, but they are
not willing to incur large debts in this di-
rection. Before extended road improve
ments are entered upon, they first ask
that taxation shall be evenly distributed
so that just proportion OF the cost OF
roads shall fall upon those who are best
able to pay for their construction 1t is
a lamentable fact that large proportion
of the property OF the wealthy people OF
this and other States escapes taxation, and
it is generally understood that a large pro-
portion of this class are warm advocates
OF road improvement. PROFESSIONALLY.
the farmers of the State would not object
to taxation for road improvement on the
basis OF the property they possess, both
real and personal, il other classes would
show their hands and submit to taxation
on the same basis. We understand that
good roads are luxury for all classes and
an advantage 10 us, as farmers, in many
ways, and We are willing to bear our Just
share for their cost and maintenance; but
ii would be unfair and unjust to ask us to
do more than that. In my judgment, the
new road law which was enacted at the
recent session of our Legislature, is a wise
measure and will result in much improve
ment in our highways with but little ad
ditional cost to the people.
