the Senate and submitted an elaborate
argument in writing, in which he said
that "the single standard of gold is an
American idea, yielded reluctantly by
France and other countries, where sill
YER is the chief standard of value" On
the same day Mr. 3. d. Morgan, Senator
from New York, submitted minority
report, in which he pointed out the effects
OF the proposed legislation. The bill
was never called up for action, and its
contents, as we'll us the contents
OF the majority report, remained a
secret from the public at large,
and probably from every member
OF the Senate not on the Committee No
further action was taken in the matter
until the expiration of Senator Morgan's
term of office who had assigned the most
conclusive reason why the bill should
not become law After Senator Nor
gan's retirement to private life
committee was formed in the Treasury
Department with John J. Knox, then
Comptroller of the currency as chairman,
to prepare a codi6cation of the mint laws.
When the codifcation was completed it
was transmitted by the Secretary of the
Treasury, Mr.. Boutwell,, to the chairman
of the committee on Finance Of Senate,
and by him introduced in that body on
the 2Sth day of April 1870. On the 9th
day of January, 1871, it came up for con-
in the Senate with some
which had been proposed
by the Committee on Finance.

MIS-. mccarthy, of Stone station. Died
Saturday Evening.
DIED-Near Stone Station, May &c, 1894,
Mrs. z, Mccarthy, aged 50 years. five
months and one day.
The people of the valley were shocked
last Saturday to learn of the death of the
wife OF 2. Mccarthy, one of the old and
highly respected residents of Flint Creek
valley. Mrs Mccarthy has been troubled
with complaint for some time and not
long ago went to Colorado, where mar
rled daughter resides for the benefit Of
her health, returning to her home a
short time ago. She had improved con-
slderably and her relatives thought she
was all right and would entirely recover.
She had intended, however, to return to
Colorado again expecting to thoroughly
regain her health. Her death was a
great surprise to the people of Granite
county, among whom she was well known
and highly respected. She leaves a hus-
band and several children to mourn her
loss.
The funeral took place to the Philips
burg cemetery Tuesday afternoon, the
cortege having came up the valley,
distance OF about sixteen miles. The
funeral was largely attended by the
people of the valley, and the remains
were taken to the Catholic church and
from there to the last resting place in
the cemetery. Rev. A. Ell. Lambaere
performed the funeral rites.

The Prices Of ALI COmm0di-

THE EFFECT OF A GOLD STANDARD
Personal Property. Excepting
Money. Mortgages and Bonds,
Already Wiped Out--A Crime
Against the Whole World.

1t seems very strange to us that sc
many OF the eastern papers are blind to
the effects which the demonstration Of
silver has produced on prices. If there
is one fact that is more thoroughly
settled than another in the history OF
economic science, it is that gold since
1873 has appreciated over so per cent
Further, prices follow the amount of
primary money which of necessity must
measure the value of commodities,
When one-half Of the primary money,
which was silver, was demonetlzed, it
followed, as the night does the day, that
prices of commodities would fall in a
corresponding ratio, and that is a fact in
history. The whole world has felt this
fall in prices and is feeling it to-day.
10 wipe out one-half the value of real
ana personal property, excepting only
money, mortgages and bonds, which
represent fixed capital, was a crime
against the world of work and the world
OF business. We had panic. We all
felt it. There is no doubt that it was
caused very largely by the discrimina-
tlon OF the two administrations against
the use of silver by making gold do all
the work as money that silver and gold
had done.
Ihe eastern press seems to think that
everything was corrected; that the future
would be bright when the government
stopped the purchase of silver and the
coinage OF it into money. They talk as
1t they thought our trade with foreign
countries was Of greater Importance than
all the business of our country at home,
We do not think so. We think the first
duty OF the government is to provide
monetary system which will meet all the
wants OF the people at all tines, first at
home and then abroad
1t is very hard road down the high
way which leads to the reduction of half
the values in great nation like this,
and unless something is done to check
this decline in prices by giving us more
money of final redemption, we are sure
to land on the level of English prices as
time is to roll around. Do we want this
as Americans? We think not,-Cleye-
land co., Plaindealer.

Mineral Land Case Decided By the
United States Supreme Court

Mineral Land Case Decided by the
United States Supreme Court,
A special telegram Tuesday night con-
tanned the information that the supreme
court OF the United States had finally
decided the famous mineral land case in
favor OF Barden. This suit involved the
title to millions Of acres of land claimed
by the Northern Pacific Railroad com
pany.
1t will be remembered that when this
case was tried in the United States dis
trict court, Judge Knowles rendered a
dissenting opinion. The ruling of the
supreme court reverses the ruling made
by the United States district court and
sustains Judge Knowles.

News says, 200 ounces were taken out of
piece of ground less than two feet
square. Most of the gold was in lumps
clustered together like bunch of grapes,
One piece weighed 80 ounces Shortly
afterward, the same paper states, a mass
OF gold ~ pounds in weight was taken
out IN the same district. These stories
seem lncredulous and most people would
have to see the nuggets before believing,
but they are given by the paper as reli-
able mining news. All indications point
TO great year for gold mining IN Aus

made in all parts of the country.

Our Royal Correspondent DiscOurses
| About Wagon Roads,
PRINCETON, May %, 1894.
Mention has been made in these
columns heretofore about new road to
the Royal or Boulder. Why not improve
the old one, the one that is indicated by
nature, i. Q. the water courses 1t NAV
be granted as matter of theory that a
road laid down upon the lines on which
"the crow flies" may be shorter (but not
much so as far as Princeton is concerned)
than the road down Flint creek and up
Boulder canyon, and as far as the con-
nection with the Royal is concerned it
would simply be 'scenic route" closed
to travel for eight months in the year,
besides very expensive to build. .
|, The county road from the burg to
Flint is very fair mountain road and in
fairly good repair, but from Flint up to
the Nonpareil mine (also of record as a
county road) it's "God-forglve. mes.
One thousand dollars will put this last
stretch IN good condition, and now that
our district is contributing materially to
the expenses of the new county why
should we not be looked after.
We cherish no unkind feelings toward
Philipsburg; we dealt with it for q
generation or more ; we are aware that
she is great silver camp and will be for
generations to come; we know that she
carries large stocks of goods Of the neces-
saries and luxurles Of life; we know that
we must deal there for the time beng,
and perchance for many years to come
because she is reasonably convenient and
always will be till We have our home
depots which, of course, is only matter
of time
Then why not look afterus? ROLAND.
