The Road, Denver's cantanker-
GUS Populist sheet, applauds the
acts Of the "Commonweal" trampe
who steal railway trains and run
them wild, reckless of the danger
they create to the lives and proper
ty of the patrons of the railways,
and says gleefully "Such thievery
nav come to be looked on BEFORE
VERY LONG as PATRIOTISM" "
The small caps and caps are the
Roads. We may look very soon
no doubt to see this esteemed con-
temporary commencing horse and
cattle stealing as patriotic; the
Populist idea being that those who
haven't should take from those who
have--that every man who has
more than another is thief him
self, and it is good public policy to
encourage stealing from him that
he may be discouraged from accu-
mulating property. The Utopia
of this crowd is land in which ev-
erybody should live and enjoy life
at the expense of somebody else.
A good scheme If it would work.
As to forcibly taking and running
away engines and cars belonging
to a railway company, it is as much
theft as taking farmers team and
wagon would be, for which the
thief would quickly find his way
to the penitentiary. Railroadsand
their rolling stock are vested prop
erty, and do their share to support
the state in the way of paying tax
es as well as furnish constant en-
ployment to vast armies of men. 1t
is highly probable that single mile
of some of Denver's railroads pays
more taxes yearly than the entire
army Of Commonwealers in the
whole country pays. The ROdds
dsmagoguery is Orrant, and of the
most dangerous tendency.

SHORT CHAPTERS MONEY.

The EAGLE proposes to give its read
ers few short chapters on the money
OF the United States, compiled from re.
liable sources, and without any political
coloring. They will be published for in
formation only. with the belief that they
will be appreciated.
We shall first deal with the metallic
money Of the country-gold and silver
coinage. The history Of this money be-
gins with the act of Congress of April 9,
1892, the beginning Of coinage under the
National constitution. This act author
lied and directed the coinage OF gold as
follows; the denominations we're to be
the eagle, half-sagle and quarter eagle,
OF the value respectively of $40. s5 and
$3.50. The weight Of the eagle was fixed
at 27O grains standard gold, eleven
twefths fine, or 24719 grains of pure
gold, the rest being silver and copper.
The silver coins provided for in this
act were the dollar, half-dollar, quarter,
dime and five-cent piece. The dollar WAS
to contain 4l6 grains, standard silver,
S92.4 parts in the thousand pure.
The amount of pure silver was to be 371 Il
grains, as at present. The ratio TO gold
was 10 to /. Both gold and silver were
made full legal tenders and their coinage
free and unlimited.
In 1884, (June 28,) an act was passed
making changes in both gold and s.lvor
coinage. The eogle was reduced in
weight to 258 grains, and made to CON
tain 232 grains OF pure gold. Fractions
of the eagle were changed in like pro
portion. This act affected the freness,
reducing it to fraction less than nine
tenths. BY act of January Is, 1887, the
standard OF tneness was fixed at nine
tenths and the amount of pure gold in
the eagle was increased one.fifth of a
grain, This change also affected the
ratio, making it l6 to l, VERY nearly
This act also changed the weight of
the silver dollar to 4l215 grains by re-
ducing the amount Of alloy in it. Its
tineness was thus increased to nine
tenths and very slightly modified the
ratio Qrom 16.002 to l598S).
An act of March 3, 1919, authorized
the coinage of double-eagles and dollars
Of gold, but made no other changes.
The gold coined up to 1913 amounted
to 1854, ,440. Ths figures for silver to
that date are not at hand, but the
amount was very small comparatively.
During the period included in this
chapter the coins, both gold and silver,
OF various Europeans and South Ameri-
can countries circulated in this country
and we're legal tender at rates fixed by
acts of Congsess.
%s The bulk of the circulating medium
OF the time was State bank ppper, famil-.
iary known as wildcat" currency.
The United States up 10 1S4s was not
producer to an important degro OF cl-
ther OF the precious metals.
The next chapter will troat briefly OF
tho early State and National banks.

depend wholly upon irrigation for

the good result that they can abso-

Rocky mountain slopes is peculiarly
adapted for fruits, grapes and berries,

advantage that Il finer quality of fruit
can be raised to be sold in much

Roswell, with the intention that 1000
acres of trees shall be set out this

acres of land to apple trees this fall

places in that county the Preparations
for setting out hundreds OF acres are
being made. The shipment Of grapes
to the east from the upper and middle
Rio Grande valleys has for years
been an important and increasing
item of railroad freight, and this fruit
