PROTEST AGAINST THAT CHANGE !

We are glad to notice that The Herald's
warning regarding the change of brigade
headquarters from this city TO Fresno
has been needed in some places. The
directors of the local board of trade have
telegraphed Governor Budd an earnest
protest against the removal. In this ac-
ton the board should be emulated by the
chamber of commerce and other bodies in
terested in having this city hold fast to that
which she has. The National guard off
GERS and privates having any degree OF
influence with the executive should also
address him in opposition to the project.
Governor Budd undoubtedly is desirous
OF doing IN this matter, as he always does,
what is right; and little timely and
positive action on the part of some of our
people will assist him to do the correct
thing in this regard. But whatever is
done must be done quickly.

1t suffered the same collapse that any
other town would that depended on the
production of an article that either gave
out or ceased to be of great use to the
people. But things are different now. A
great and rich gold belt has heen found
below the silver strata. and the work OF
development is being pushed with old-time
energy. Nearly one hundred shafts have
been put down AMI the community
threatens to pass its old-time standing in
the world. In facs throughout Colorado
the gold resources are being largely devel
oped, and in time the state will attain a
position in the production of the yellow
metal as conspicuous as it ever held as a
bearer of silver. Then the last hope of
Governor Waite's political resurrection
will have fed. Without a silver pedestal
to stand on. the gory-minded ex-gover-
nor would deem public life humiliating

SOME THINGS THE sILvERITEs OVERLOOK.

Secretary Morton's letter to James A.
Cherry of Denver exposes in the vigorous,
terse style so Characteristic of that gentle
man some of the historical illusions and
tallaces of logic that free silver men rely
50 firmly upon to bolster up their side of
this apparently interminable controversy.
The fact he alludes to, that previous to
1873 only small amount in silver dollars
was issued. is studiously ignored in the
oratory and literature of the exponents OF
silver. The oft repeated assertion that the
coinage act of 1873 is responsible for the
industrial depressions and financial cata-
clysms that have since visited the coun-
try, because 1t omitted a provision for
the coinage of the standard silver dollar.
would lead the unlnformed to suppose
that up to that time huge volume of
silver dollars had been rolling out Of the
United States mints into the channels of
trade and being readily absorbed by the
people. But the plain fact is, that from
the foundation of the government down
to 1873 only little more than s,5O0,OoO
standard silver dollars were coined, and
as the secretary says, a period of thirty
years elapsed without any at all being
coined. Now then, people could
hardly be cast into penury by the failure
OF an act of congress to provide for some
thing that practically they were dispens-
ing with before. The act of 1873 did not
disturb the legal value of the silver dol
lar one iota; it only omitted provision
for the coming of more, Just as cong ress
has failed several times to provide for
the issue of coin it has decided the pub
lie do not or oil For p,,+;
the public became ravenously hungry for
this particular specimen of mintage, the
appetite should have been satisfied to
the point of guttony by the subsequent
coinage. Five years later under the act
of 1873, known as the Bland Allison act.
but which had a great deal more Allison
thanh land in it, the coinage OF silver
dollars was resu med and over 17S OOO.-
900 turned out. This amount was added
to by the Sherman silver purchasing law
until more than All 900 silver dollars
were produced by the mints. The vast
quantities stored in the vaults at Wash
ington, unsought and unthought of by the
people that we are told by the impas
stoned advocates of more money, are in
want and woe for the need of an l.
creased circulating medium. is the best
evidence of the superfuity OF the coinage
to date.
What is needed is not more circulating
medium, but more circulation of the
medium we have.
We cannot have more circulation until
we have more business; to have the lat
ter we must have trade. To have trade
we must attain normal state of pro-
duction.
We do not need more tools of exchange,
but more freedom and abiding faith in
the tools we have. Money can be and is
useful in business, but money never did
and never will of and by itself make busi-
ness. An additional quantity may increase
prices, but it will not increase wealth.
and therefore the people could really be
no richer than before.

THE MEASURE OF THE CASE

Cheap money always drives better money
out OF the market This issnot a theory, but
fact At the breaking out of the late war gold
and silver were the money of the country, but
these were not in sufficient quantities to meet
the extraordinary demands OF the government
and 1t was necessary to issue paper money
This was deprecated currency, and at one
time II took $3.50 in greenbacks to purchase
ST. in gold. Everyone knows that it was rare
thing to see coin OF either. Free coinage of
silver will drive gold to seek hiding place,
and from its concealment it will regulate the
price OF silver, and that price will! be the mar
ket value OF the silver contained in the coin.
II silver is worth so cents an ounce, then the
coin stamped by the government as 81 will be
worth only so cents.-St. Paul Call
The foregoing is as true as preaching"
1t was the undervaluation of silver in the
first coinage laws Of this country that
drove the metal out of the country at that
time. The same thing would happen
with gold if the demand for free coinage
at 16 to l is complied wsth.

The Free Employment Office

Editor Herald The name OF that office

is as cheap, or, in other words, gratis. A
good many requests for help from that
office, accompanyt the order with terms
so low that one would imagine that this
is surely an all climate country, and SO
tropical that laboring men do not need
clothing and that they gather their food
from bushes by the wayside. So far as
wages and labor are concerned in this
land of gold and silver. it can be appro-
priately called 'the land of lost hopes. :"
A sample of one or two of the very lib
era offers is as follows Man wanted.
$40 per month. 'and walk to Garvanza
where you will find the liberal applicant
Another wanted herder at s. per
month; another. ''man to carry banner
for restaurant, $1.50 per week and board
These figures are not the negotiations of

bureau. He Is opposed to such pc iurious
propositions, and with heavy heart and
down cast features he reluctantly chalks
the orders on the blackboard.
Mr.. Carr is not friend of the writer,
30 this is not for his especial benefit, yet
he is an honest, earnest ana energetic
worker for the laboring man. So popular
has this office become of late that some
of the free employment office managers
find it beneficial to call around there to
find victims that they can work for an
office fee of 80 cents, for registering your
name, and then in addition 10 per cent
commission on whatever your wages may
be the first month OF your employment.
There was one of those managers there
this evening. All applicants for labor at
that Office are in need of money, clothing
and good treatment, and in the name of
humanity, if you need help, open up your
heart and with it your pocketbook. and
do the manly act by paying the laborer
the worth of his nire. SIOUX.

A LASSEN MYSTERY.
All Unknown Man Killed aud Robbed
of 80 900.

of $4,000.
NEVADA CITY, July 10-News has been
received here of mysterious death at
Susanville in disreputable house. The
officers believe it is case of murder, and
are now looking tor George Finck and
two women, who are supposed to be i'm
plicated.
A man, whose name is unknown, died
suddenly at the resort on the night Of
July Sd. The inmates of the house testi-
fed at the inquest held that the visitor
asked for a room, which be went into,
and taking bottle from his pocket drank
the contents. Upon this testimony they
were allowed to depart. That night they
LETT Susan vile.
The officers were not satisfied with the
matter, however, and began an investi-
CATION, which revealed the fact that the
deceased had 81 800 or 81, ,000 on his person
when be entered the house, and when
found by the Coroner had no money of
any kind on his person. 1t was further
ascertained that the women had become
"tlush" The officers took their trail and
followed them to Orovllle. where they
had hired buggy, driven to Biggs, taken
the train and disappeared.
1t is said that the inmates OF the Susan
vile house at the time of the suicide or
murder were parties who were we'll
known in Orovllle. One was George
Finck, a barber.
The flight of these people has con nfirmed
the suspicion of foul play, aud it is as
serted tnat the unknown man was a VIC
tim of murder and robbery. 1t is sup
posed that drugs were given the victim,
in order that he might be robbed easily,
but that too large a dose was administered.

California VIII Probably Not Have
Training ship.
SAN FRANCISCO. July 10.-The chances
are that the State will not have any train
ing ship at all for the Naval Battalion.
Governor Budd, after inspection Of the
old sloop-of-war Swatara. offered by the
Government for training ship, has de-
cided to decline the gift, with thanks.
The Governor declines the ship on the
ground that she is old and out of date
and is fitted with an Old-tashioned arma-
ment OF muZzle-loading guns
In his opinion it would cost at least
$4,000 TO put the Swatara into anything
like proper trim for a training ship, and
the Governor does not think the General
Government should be asked to expend
this amount of money on the old vessel.
He will, however, ask that the Adams or
the Marion be substituted as training
ship for the Swatara.
a prominent naval officer thinks that
if the Swatara be not accepted the Gov
ernment will not give any other.

STOCKTON, July l0.-The directors Of
the State Insane Asylum held their regu-

most important matter that came up was
that of reducing expenses by lessening
the payroll. superintendent DR.. Clark
pointed out that the payroll was Just as
large now as it WAS two years ago, when
there were 200 more patients in the
asylum than at present. Al that time,
however. the buildings were over
crowded. Now there is an attendant to
every fifteen patients in the temale de-
partment, and in the male department
there is an attendant to every twenty
patients.
1t was not seen, however, how the force
of attendants could be lessened, owing to
the arrangement of the wards. No action
was taken on the matter, and 1t was
dropped, for the present at least.

Awful Fate Of Six Persons in a Detroit
Livery Stable.
DETROIT, July l0.-A fire broke out
just before o'clock this morning in the
livery stable of +. G. Case on Congress
street. The building was four stories
high. the upper story being used as
sleeping quarters by employees of the
stable. The fire started on the first floor
and spread so rapidly that before the
occupants of the building were aware of
their danger all means of escape were
cut Off. The fire alarm was at once
turned in, but the men in the burning
building had become almost frantic with
fear before the firemen arrived. One
man, John Cummings. helper, became
SO much excited that he threw himself
headlong OUT OF the window, and was SO
badly hurt that he Is now in dying
condition.
AS soon as the firemen reached the
scene they raised ladders to the upper
stories, and soon all the men who could
be seen were rescued. By hard work the
fire was con fined to the building in which
it originated.
On investigation after the fire had been
brought under control it was found That
six of the occupants OF the building had
persisted in the fire. The names of tie
dead are: John Shaw, oller; John Bow
man, second cook; Thomas " ebD, painter;
Edward Hughes, chamoisinan; James Il.
