For thirty years our Lawmakers have been
studying census reports in order to prove that
it was in some way right to do wrong-that
the continuation of a palpable falsehood
would convert it into national truth. The
Republican party first attempted to make
itself solid by putting the vote in the hands OF
every newly emancipated slave, the more
ignorant the better. il he could only be made
to comprehend that the Republican party was,
and would continue to be through all coming
years, '.Massa Linkum's" party. The greed
of the manufacturer would hold the North
solid, while the farmer--'well, the farmer

ABOUT SILVER.
From the Prescott (Arizona) Courier.

From the Prescott (Arizona) Courier.
There is q great deal of senseless
gush on the silver question. As a
matter of course, silver and gold
are of far less actual value to man.
kind than iron, and the world
would havs been but little the
worse for 1t it there was no silver
and gold. Had there never been a
double STANDARD. no enc would be
the worse off, because all business
would have adjusted itself to the
standard at tho beginning. The
great injustice in the demonetiza-
tion OF silver is to the debtor class,
who incurred liabilities when there
was . double standard and dollars
we're plenty. Now they have to
pay the same number OF dollars,
but the old dollars are twice as
hard to get and are worth twice as
much. In paying back the same
number Of dollars they practically
pay two dollars for one. 30 it will
be seen that the demonetization of
silver and the contraction of the
circulating medium has been
wholly in the interest OF the money
lenders and the most stupendous
robbery of the great creditor class
that the mind can conceive OF. OF
course. along with this robbery and
incidental thereto came the des :
truction OF the silver mining in
dustry and the stagnation in bust
ness which always follows the
of any long established
financial laws, but the direct blow
was at the debtor class-they were
the people who were made to stand
and deliver.

TRAMPED FROM CHICAGO.

TRAMPED FROM CHICAGO
Rena Carroll and Hazel Howard
two pretty Chicago girls, arrived in
the city last night after having
"bummed" their way through tc
Denver, passing through Wiscon
sin and other states, says the
Times Sun.
The girls live at Oakland, CAL,
but visited an aunt in Chicago last
summer. About three months ago
this aunt left for the west, bu'
before departing placed the girls
in charge Of Mrs. Richmond.
According to the story OF the girls
when they returned to their room
one evening about six weeks age
Mrs. Richmond was gone, as was
also their trunks and all their
possessions. The girls remained
about the city afew days, living on
the charity OF their friends, and
then concluded to tramp to their
home in Oakland, Cal.
They claim to have walked over
400 miles, and to have beaten their
way large portion OF the distance
on freight trains. AT night they
would stop wherever they could
secure lodging.
When they arrived in Denver
they went to the Women's ex-
change, where they were given 9
nights lodging and breakfast, after
which they we're turned over to
Police Matron Dwyer. They are
remarkably pretty girls, and are
neatly and cleanly dressed. They
ars about II years OF age, and they
ipsist that they will walk the entire
distance 10 California.

Indeed, it is region full Of rich

almost out OF the world as regards
transportation.
Also down near Death valley,
Tuls canon, some rich gold mines
should be opened. On this Canon
rich dry diggings we're discovered
some fifteen years ago. In 1880 q
few men were at work there. They
had no machines and did not even
winnow the dirt by tossing it up
in the wind, Mexican fashion.
They simply dug over the ground
with picks, collecting ssuch pieces
Of gold as they happened to see.
In this way they made good wages
in ground from two to four feet
deep. Working in this rude way
they found one nugget that weigh
cd five pounds, and very many
worth from $5 to $75. Pieces Of
gold worth so cents were about the
smallest saved working In this
way, "by eye" With water or even
dry washing machines such ground
should have paid immensely. Az
all the placers in the Great Basin
are OF local origin, Tuls canon
must cut one or more large and
rich veins Of gold bearing quarts.
At present We hear but little
about these diggings, though there
is always more or less gold coming
from them which 10 said to be
ground out in arastras by some OF
the ranchers living in the vicinity.
In the early days an impression
prevailed among our miners and
pros pectors from Califor-
nia-that the gold veins on this
side OF the mountains would not
prove permanent. They said IL
was only surface production and
would not hold out In depth. This
soon becsme an established fact;
therefore little attention was given
to veins that were purely gold
by those who went forth on pros
pecting raids. Now the truth IL
that our gold mines are the most
permanent in the country. The
fret gold mines opened and worked
we're in DEVILS Gate district, at
Silver City. These have beeS
worked right along INCREASINGLY
for over thirty years, and today are
paying their owners as well rs at
first. Whatever paying gold
mines have been found in Nevada
they are still paying, as in the be-
ginning, and this is more than can
be said Of many OF the silver
mines.

spurred through the savages, who
attempted to cut in ahead OF us,

Having gained the spot, how
ever, we found to our chagrin that
our situation was but little i'm
