WRY NOT USE SILVER.

It's the west that uses silver as cur
rency. Of the sixty odd millions OF
silver in circulation the east does not use
half dollar pr capita. while the west
probably handles in trade as much as
81 per capita. In going east the MiSsis-
sippi river once crossed and the change
handed back for five or ten dollar hill
will be IN small bills, not in silver. West
of the Mississippi silver Will be rendered
and accepted for the difference without
question or protest. In the smaller
transactions of family marketing and
average street shopping. etc, etc, silver
coin is almost universal in the west. In
the east the subs diary coins or fractions
of dollar In silver are only used. Crisp
new one and two dollar bills is the
money of all minor transactions Of
all the great citi-s of the Atlantic states.
These are facts cognizant 10 ever.i-
body.
As the Republican party practically
unanimously demands the blmet lllsm
and paper currency. all OF interchange
able value, and as the west without re-
gard to party, is Gavorableto silver, the
Republicans Of Kansas demanding the
free coinage of the entiro American
produc, protected by such tariff as
shall effectuaily bar the Importation OF
that metal, there seems to be but one
thing to 10 to inject from two 10 three
millions additional silver into the circu
lation of the coun ~, and that is to cut
off, or out, of the currency all paper
money of less denomination than five
dollars. IL between the term of one
congress and another the calling in and
destruction of the one ard two dollar
bills is found insufficient, then at the
next term provide that no paper cur
rency under the denomination of ten
dollars shall be issued, aad no gold coin
under the same amount. This would
force the east to do just what the west
already practically does, to use silver in
ali minor transactions. The result Of
such general use OF silver need not
even be pointed out. The white metal
would from actual demand at 10 TO l
maintain a parity with gold.

IT Is DE PERATION.

What show does the Democratic party
expect to have in the northern states,
and in some of the southern states if
they fail TO pass some kind Of tariff re-
form bill: The senate measure in no
sense meets the demand of their plat
form or that Of Democratic conventions
anywhere. 1t is essentially a pro-
teclive bill, sectionally and specifically
protective and in DO sense represents the
solemn affirmationS and pledges of the
party. This is not Republican talk, but
Democratic talk heard everywhere. If
the Wilson bill is not agreed upon sub
stantially as it passed the house, or at
least along the lines of the free raw
materials indicated by Mr.. Cieveland's
letter TO Wilson, the Democratic party is
done foT and for good. The two ma
tional parties will be the Republican and
the Populist parties. The judgment of
the people would be that the Democratic
party is utterly unfit to rule or guide
and would be relegated in '96 to give
place to the Republican party, the only
hope of individual preferment for the
average Democrat left being that of adj
herence to the Populist organization,
which is a free trade party now and
which will probably be the single tax
party of the near future.

SS3, $4,000 ACRES,


Two fifths of the entire area of the
United States consists of arid land and
upon 616,OOO,000 acres crops could be
produced with water. At present only
about one-half of one per cent of
this land is under irrigation.
Only those who understand and appre-
ciate these facts are aware of the import
ance of the subject of irrigation and of
its connection with the development
and prosperity of the entire country.
Ali phases of the problem will be dis
cussed at the Third National Irrigation
Congress which convenes in Denver.

4 BATTLE WITH AFAC1ES.

From the New York sun.
Thirty or forty years ago, when the
Santa Fe trail was the great highway
OF the southwest and all the meTchan
else was hauled overland from the Mis-
souri, in wagons, Don Juan ChriStobsl
ArrniJo, Of Albuquerque, was one OF the
richest men in New Mexico. lie was
also one OF the most progressive and
c4ear-headed, and. seeing the pOssibili-
ties OF profit in freighting. he converted
most Of his lands and cattle into cash
and the cash into wagons and mules
he had, in the early sixties, fifty big
frelght wagons and six hundred mules
In those days mules were mules and
worth from three to FIVE hundred dol
Tors aPsir. They were also worth steal
ing, and the Apaches and Nsvajos knew
that for sure.
One summer day IN 1859 long train
o. Senior Arnijo's wagons came creaA-
Ing into Albuquerque from Tucson and
the three hundred mules that had
dragged them across the deserts and the
prairies were turned out upon the mesa
