The Gar Of all the Russias does not ex'

ruE NEW BOND ISSUE.

Now that q new bond issue is being
urged. we are receiving letters asking
what has become Of the $50. 600, 900 OF
gold borrowed last Winter. Since IL re-
mains for the Populist press to give the
people information upon such matters.
we will explain how this game is played.
Take the situation as 1t stands now.
The so-cslied gold reserve 10 the Treas
ury has been reduced to about S5O,OOO,-
600 and the Government is being urged
to increase il. The only method BY
which this can be accomplished is
through the unlawful sale Of 5 per cent
bonds. The bonds will be placed on the
market and sold for what the owners Of
gold feel like paying. The gold re-
ceived in payment Of these bonds is
placed in the United States Treasury.
Now when the Jew bankers OF Wall
street want gold TO send abroad they
will not take the trouble TO 90 among
the banks and get it, but gather together
an amount OF United States notes green.
backs and Sherman notes. equal to the
amount Of gold required for shipment
and present them TO the Sub-Treasury
| Of New York and demand their redemp-
tion in gold. The Sub-Treasury pays
out to these brokers the gold demanded
and il lie sent abroad. The next day the
same proceeding is gone through with
until the gold in the Treasury is ex-
hausted and then, as now, q new loan
will be sent abroad in the same manner
Since January l, 1894, $4,000. 600 OF
gold has gone to Europe, nearly all oil
which has been taken from the Treas
ury, and for which the people are pay
ing interest On bonds that were issued
to buy is and put ii in the Treasury.
This game can be played inde6nety. and
build up a bonded debt that will impov-
erish the nation. There is no law Tor
accommodating this reserve, neither is
there any law for the redemption oil
these notes. The only line OF law that
applies to them is found in the Sherman
Act Of 1890. which declares these notes
redeemable in gold or silver, and further
provides for the coinage Of silver suf6-
cicnt TO redeem them. 1t is IN outrage
to sell interest bearing bonds for the

Judge W. r. Stone has just returned
from Wiesbadep, Germany, and he has .
word OF cheer for the silver men. To
. Denver Republican representative, he
said:
The intelligent aud thinking CLASSES
are becoming daily more convinced that
silver must be restored to its proper po.
sition in the currency OF the world.
BimetalIism lie growing and growing rap
idly in Europe. and the thoughtful see
more and more that il is the money OF
the people. IL is used universally there,
that is. the small denominations OF cur
rency. and they cannot do without it. l
believe that the day is not far oil when
. ratio will be established by agreement
among the nations. The people in Eu-
rope are coming to the belief. which is
the true one, that gold alone is the
money Of the rich. The rich money
lenders, who have in their grasp States
and Governments in Europe, are the
gold men and have no use for silver.
There you rarely see anything in COM
mon circulation. Bills are scarce and
you only get them when you ask for
them from 3 bank.
A somewhat similar condition exists
10 our W country east OF the Missis-
sippi river with regard to silver. You
rarely see . silver dollar. 1t is all pa
per, with the exception Of subsidiary
coin. The first silver dollar | saw from
the time l landed in New York on my
way home. was in ST. Louis, where.
after making 3 purchase. In return for q
s. bill. l received four silver dollars in
change. In the East business is stag
nsnt, and business men are all com.
planning Of trade. This condition ID
making them think on the silver cues
tion. and as q result bimetallism is gain
ing ground there also.

A LAND OF

magnificent tract Of land. A great
many men in Utah, as well as in other
parts Of the Union, have never exercised
their right to acquire 3 homestead, and
it may be expected that the land OF
which we speak will attract thousands Of
settlers as soon as legal notice OF its
having been thrown open shall be made.
This tract Of land embraces the reser-
v~ations Of the Uintah and Uncompahgre
Indians. These lands are well watered,
contain excellent timber. have o fine eli
mate and probably for general farming
and grazing purposes cannot be exceIled
in the State Of Utah. The valleys are
$500 to 5000 feet above sea level, while
the mountains rise from 1900 to 1000
feet higher.

tain an area Of 6,207 square miles or
1872, $50 acres; the Uintah containing
3, lS6 square miles, or 2,039, 040 acres.
There are 1000 Indians upon the reser-
v~ations, and the head OF each Uncom-
pahgre family will receive 800 acres and
the other members Of the family l60
acres each; counting five Indians to the
family, and the Uintah Utes will prob
ably receive the same, 1854, 900 will more
than supply their needs. This will leave
3, sos, $50 acres for the white settlers, or
nearly 1000. 900 acres Of good land as at
least 60 per cent Of the land is suitable
for agricultural and stock raising pur-
posas.
