find we have no consumers by rea
son of their lack of means to acquire
what they need to consume.
"The first relief is bimetallism.
1t is absolutely necessary, and in my
opinion the people will demand it.
There is something to be said even
in favor of the free coinage of silver.
While | cannot bring my judgment
into harmony with this view, the
idea Of being able to purchase more
with dollar under the single gold
standard than with two dollars under
free coinage system is attractive in
feature, but the average producer
would be more likely to have the
two dollars under free coinage sys-
tenn than to have any part of one
dollar under the single gold stan
dard. Any monetary system which
enables the rich to grow richer and
makes the poor poorer cannot be
productive of general prosperity.
Under our present system this is the
inevitable result. 1t has rendered
possible the enormous concentration
of capital into a few hands, which
condition is certainly not calculated
to advance the prosperity of the
general public"

CHAPTER VII.

The sequel to this story is evident.
Where public sentiment is unani-
nous against the existence or con-
tinuance of any evil institution,
that institution, like a worn and
faded fashion, must depart. In
such a town and among such citizens
as | have described, where concord
and peace prevails, and all hands
work together for the public good,
the result in such cases is inevitable.
There is no violence, no boisterous
threat, no ostentation. The people
are agreed that a certain evil exists.
They are agreed that it must not ex-
list. The evil is frowned upon by
everybody. 1t runs through the
scorchingfre of popular disapproval,
abides for season, and then yields
to the blasting but righteous inhu-
ence, smoked out, choked out, or
smothered QUIT matters not what
you call the process-the result is
the same in every case.
The company store went. 1t
could not remain. For the majestic
unpopularity Of its life was unbear-
able. A whole community was in
it's wake, and after brief sojourn,
hoping against fate, that the spell
might be removed, it is
melted into thin air,
And like the baseless fabric of a vision.
Like the nsubstantia pageant faded,
Leaves not a wrack behind.f
Jayville is today prosperous
mining camp. Its people are indus
trious and happy. Happy because
they are free. But if there are those
SO silly as to desire a FOOLS occupa-
ton, let them go to Jayville and
start company store.

(The End.)

J. l.. Robinson, whom the New
York Tribune calls ga we'll known
banker" writes in letter to that pa
per in part as follows:
"While it is heresy to express an
opinion in Wall street not in har-
mony with the heads of moneyed
institutions and capitalists, | shall
venture my own on our monetary
system, in view of the effect its wide
discussion is having on the general
business interests of the country.
"It is certainly an undisputed
questain in economics, as shown by
statistics in the financial history of
every country, that as the value of
gold is appreciated there Is a corre-
spending decline in the price of COM
modities, and it is used as conclusive
evidence in favor of the single gold
standard, that this increased purchas-
ing power of dollar enables a man
of moderate means, or laboring man,
to live so much cheaper that it more
than counter balances any reduction
in the price of labor, which latter
necessarily follows a restriction in
the volume of a circulating medium.
This is all very we'll, but the basis OF
all business or personal prosperity is
what we produce.

prosper when the product Of labor
is below the cost of production

Ask the farmer in Pennsylvania, Hi

claimed that the serious decline in
prices of all our products is due to

the fact that the producer has moth

PRESS OPINIONS.


Butte Tribune: The NEIHART
HERALD deserves the support Of
every newspaper, merchant and min
er in the state in its fight against the
company store, which is an octopus
of unbounded evil wherever it is al
lowed to exist. When a man earns
a dollar by the sweat of his brow he
should certainly have the right to
spend that dollar with the merchant
from whom he can get the most for
it. But if he is compelled to trade at
a company store it is ten chances to
one that he pays more for what he
buys than he could purchase the
same elsewhere for, and he virtually
becomes slave, as he seldom has a
chance to handle the money for
ahich he sells his labor. Company
stores will not be allowed to gain a
foothold in Montana, and it is Just as
we'll that the death blow be delivered
at Neihart as anywhere else.

for naturalization papers and foreign
born citizens can take out their first
and their last papers free of cost.
The salaries Of county officers are
payable quarterly. Attorney gene
raj Haskell gave an opinion that
such salaries shall continue to be
paid as before, monthly. This opin-
ion is based on the special enact
ment Of the last Legislature, that the
acts of 1893, relating to payment of
county officers salaries were contin-
ued in force, and declared to be
amendments to such sections of the
codes as they might conflict with.
AS the acts of 1893 thus continued
provided for the payment of county
officers salaries monthly the effect
of the law will be the same as be-
fore.
There is clause in the code clos
ing barber shops, concert saloons,
theaters, concert halls, etc, on Sun
day. The section concerning gam
bling prohibits all games of chance
where money or any valuable con-
sideration is at stake. The law spec
ifies the prohibition Of roulette, wheel
of fortune, poker, faro, dice, or any
gambling device. Attorney Haskell
has rendered an opinion that play
ing cards or dice for drinks or cigars
does not come under the terms Of
the prohibitory clause. Whist, solo
or slough for the drinks is lawful.
Witnesses in criminal actions in
Justices courts must serve for the
good of their country. Under the
following clauses a justice may sum
mon witness from any where with
in the county and may fine him for
contempt if he does not attend al
though the witness can receive no
pay therefore.
Sec. 1862 p. Witnesses in
courts not of record in civil actions
and proceedings shall receive $50
per day but no mileage.
Sec. 1868 p. Witnesses in
courts not of record in criminal ac-
tons and on coroners' inquests must
not receive any pay or compensa-
tion for their services.
Sec. 1854 p. C.-The fees and
compensation of witness in all civil
actions must be paid by the party
who caused him to be subpnnaed.
1t is also learned that the code
makes radical alteration in the law
relating to change of venue. Under
its provisions change Of venue
map not be had until the applicant
presents a sworn statement giving
reasons as to the justice of his re-
quest. This must be placed on file
with the court
This and the provision requiring
the party summoning witnesses in
civil action to pay all mileage and
compensation for same are two of the
most radical changes in the code of
procedure.
! Another curious provision of the
codes is that regarding marriage IL
censes. The candidate for matri.
monial experience applies as hereto
fore to the clerk of the district
court, who issues the desired license
to we'd. Then, according to the law,
the license must be taken to the
county clerk, who records it and col
ects the fee. The county clerk,
however, makes no endorsement up
on the license and there seems to be
nothing to prevent the applicant
from putting the license in his poe
lket when he first receives it and then
going his way without the payment
of any fee.

Who Vas Responsible.

We regret to see an evident de-
sire on the part of some of the
papers to misplace the responsibility
of the late wreck. The two Albany
papers in their first account of the
wreck stated that the bridge was in
good condition and the timbers
sound, and that car jumped the
track, causing TIE bridge to go
down. Other similarly wild state
ments have been made.
The fact of the matter is the
wreck was caused by a decayed
bridge. The blame of this does
not attach to the present manage
ment of the road. They have kept
the road in as good condition as
possible, with the income received
from the road. Everybody knows
the deplorable condition of the
standing of the road. 1t is an or
phan. Nobody seems to be respon-
sible for 1t.
The real blame of all this lies at
the door OF the men who have tried
and are still trying to wreck the
road. Had it not been for Wallis
Nash, and his appeal TO the supreme
court, thousands of dollars in re-
pairs would in all probability have
been made on the road before this,
and the road and bridges would
have been put in good repair this
summer. No one can blame Oh
expect Messrs. Bonner s. Hammond
to put i'll any money i'll repairs
until they see what is to be done
by the supreme court. The case
is now before the surpeme court
and an early hearing is expected.
Lincoln County leader. [volume] (Toledo, Lincoln County, Or.) 1893-1987, 1895-05-09
Placing The Blame.

The board of railway commits
sioners viewed the scene of the
disastrous and fatal wreck at Tunnel
No. I, last week, and straightway
began to place the blame on some
ones shoulders. Col. J. B. Eddy,
who went over the road as a COM
missioner only few days before
the wreck and inspecte d the bridges
from the interior of Mr.. Hammond's
comfortable private coach, cfter
viewing the wreck went to Port
land and had himself interviewed
by an Oregonian reporter, Tie
Oregonian says. =.
"Colouel Eddy said, in an inter-
view last evening, that it was inn
possible to determine the exact
cause of the accident, but it looked
very much as if the dead trainmen
were to blame. The fallen bridge
stood OH curve of about 10 de-
grees, commencing quite close to
the black mouth of the tunnel. It
was one of the Oldest structures on
the read, having been built in 1886,
but an inspection Of the broken
timbers shows that they were
reasonably solid, and ought to have
withstood ordinary wear and tear.
The bridge was last inspected by a
bridge inspector in the employ of
the company, about four months
ago, and at that time appeared to
be sound"
If Colonel Eddy made these state
ments he is guilty of either gross
ignorance or williul and deliberate
falsehood. 1t is most despicable
course for him to take to attempt
to clear his skirts of the matter.
Now we wish to assert this, without
fear Of truthful contradiction from
Col. Eddy, or any other person,
whether they are drawing a fat
salary from the state or not. The
illfated train was Oh time, running
at the usual rate of speed and every
thing was in ordinary and regular
manner and custom. John Camp
bell and Joel Wilcox were killed
while in the careful and conscien-
tious discharge OF their duties, and
the fat, well fed railroad commits
sioner who attempts to throw the
blame on the dead men, or their
miraculously escaped fellow work.
men, deserves the righteous con-
tempt Of every right thinking pei
son, and they will receive it, too.
1t is bad enough to kill the boys
without trying TO make a case of
suicide out Of it.
