Wicked Money System.

High prices and prosperity is hap
pinesS. Low prices and want is mis-
ery."-Adam Smith.
People who are not in debt or who
are not obliged To sell anything to pay
debts with, but who have revenues
from real estate. loans, stocks. salaries
or wages fixed and protected by trades
union, accept and enjoy low prices as
something that Is quite in the regular
order of things. An early awakening
from this serenity is likely, if the now
long continued depression is not soon
ended by the restoration Of'Silver to it's
coinage rights which 1t possessed before
1873. the only way it can be ended, I'M
less by an uncomfortable issue of paper
money. Il remedy that would prove to be
as bad as the disease.
Increasing, not decreasing, property
values is the life of wages and employ
ment. Money locked up instead of ex-
pended. invested, besides lessening en-
plOyment and incomes, is Injurious to
business generally, and results in lower
all kinds of property.
We are now under q wicked and per-
nicious money system, wicked, because
it was stealthily and surreptitiously
fOisted upon us; pernicious, because it
originated In contraction of the nations
money circulation, and I'm that it is
sought to be continued on the same
basis and In the interest of class.

THE aggregate number of employees
of all the roads in the United States
is as large as the standing army of
Germany. This means that the /. $50
railroads in this country employ 900, :
600 persons, and that one person in
every ninety of our population de-
ponds for a livelihood upon rail-
road. From the general railroad
statistics for last year, it will be
learned that our /, $50 railroads car
sied about GOO. 100000 passengers,
which means that if every passenger
had been different person, our rail-
roads would have carried about half
the entire population of the globe.
In addition to this. about eight hun
dred million tons Of freight were car
ried. To transport these hosts of
passengers and move these noun
tains OF freight required 35, 600 loco
motives, 81. 900 passenger cars and

THOSE UNCOLLBCTBD TAXES.

The Deming Headlight recently
commented on an article in the LIB
ERAL relating to uncollected taxes
and gravely announces that the LID
ERAL was wrong. BY the way, II due
credence is given the Headlight the
LIBERAL never is right, but that has
nothing to do with the case. The
LIBERAL claimed that great deal OF
the proprrty on which taxes were de-
liuquent was not in the county, that
it should not have been placed on the
tax rolls, but was put there by lazy
assessors, who had copied their pre-
decessor's rolls.
The Headlight, with a devotion
that is admirable, hut with an utter
lack of discretion, stands up nobly for
its friends and relatives. 1t passes Il
few words OF cncomium on John Adair,
but poor old John is dead, and so it
was necessary to waste but little time
aud space on him, and then rushes
madly to the defense Of George w.
Miles, and states that the errors 10
Miles last assessment amounted to
less than 500, according to a state-
ment filed by Collector Laird. The
LIBERAL supposed, of course, these fig
ures were accurate, but 10 get the to-
tai amount Of uncollected taxes wrote
to Collector Laird for the figures and
then learned the Headlight lacked
seventy-flye per cent Of telling the
truth.
This, however, is not at all surpris.
ing. When democratic newspaper
attempts to praise democratic Off
cial and lacks only seventy-flve per cent
of telling the truth it is beating the
average. Neither the New Mexican
nor the Independent Democrat ever
made such record.
The report lled by Collector Laird
with the board Of county commission
ers regarding uncollectible taxes, as
found by him in his endeavor to col
lect the same, is as follows:
