PUSHING The GOOD CAUSE.

The New MEXICAN is in receipt of a
pamphlet entitled "Silver as Money" by
M. W. Belshaw, of San Francisco. II
consists of several we'll written articles
on the silver question and published at
different times by several of the leading
San Francisco papers as we'll as by some
of the eastern papers. "Silver on Its
own Merit" Hard Times"-their cause
and cure, "The Silver Problem" and
"Silver," are the headings under which
the different comments appear. The
articles are careful and convincing argu-
ments showing the necessity to this
country, as we'll as the world at large, of
the free coinage of silver at the ratio OF
16 to l. The writer of the pamphlet is
an observing, practical man and handles
his objects in such convincing manner
that it is pity his work can not be put
into the hands of every voter east of the
Rocky mountains.

| AM A BIMETAlLIST,

The New MEXICAN seems to be very
much afraid that gold bugs are covering
their tracks under the cry II am BIZ
metallist." How about the fiat gnats who
want to thrust 50-cent silver dollar on
the people simply because they have the
silver from which these half-price dollars
are to be made Roswell Record.
Our esteemed friend lives 80 very close
to the Texas line that it is easy to see
whore he gets his inspiration from. On
the silver proposition he appears to be
neither fish, flesh nor fowl. But the NEW
MEXICAN feels that it is perfectly correct in
its diagnosis of the case, especially now
that we find Steve Elkins, John j. Ingalls,
and even Mckinley preclaiming to the
world, II am binetallist." That inno-
cent sentence covers multitude of gold
bug sins.

The next year the alfalfa will furnish
four crops, total of about 12O tons,
Many fields have done better than this
the second year. The yield of corn will
be as before. The alfalfa will give still
larger crops in subsequent years.
A 4O-acre farm is as large as one man
can take care of. With this paying from
$50 to $40 per acre profit on general
crops and from 5000 to $500 on orchards,
the $50 per annum paid for water can
only be regarded as a moderate charge
for the benefits.

IMPROVING A FARM.

The Pecos Irrigation i Improvement
company have issued a very attractive
pamphlet describing the valley. Among
other things the pamphlet says:
The only preliminary work necessary
is the removing of the mesquite, which
can be grubbed out at cost of from 81
to 81 per acre, according to the density
of the growth. The labor and expense
of this work are often Offset by the value
of the wood; and the work il usually
done by the farmer himself. If wise, be
has brought his farm implements, team,
COW, and household goods. He can build
a fair farm house for $500; or for time
no can live in q tent, as many do, the
mild and dry climate of the valley render
Ing this anything but hardship during
the create. part of the year. Flowing
can be contracted for at from 50 to So
per acre; or the farmer can do it himself
at less cost. A 40-sore tract can be
fenced with four wires at cost of 1920.

acres of alfalfa aud ten of Egyptian corn

number the south is credited with
4.496, an increase of 65 per cent aga ainst

The Question of Silver.

EDITOR NIDETTE:--As the silver
question now seems to be the all alb
sorbing question of the country and
the extreme advocates of the free
coinage of that metal at the ratio of
10 to independent OF all other coun-
tries claim it would give immediate
relief to the United States in all lines
of business, desire to ask o fsw peril
nent questions of Importance, | think
to the people of Mississippi es-
pecially. and while have heard the
free silver speeches all over the coun-
try and read them from all it's advo-
Gates in the late congress. So far as
l can seeothey simply say, we know
1T will do it, without Offering one
single plausible reason for it. Now
the people OF this country are not in
any condition to try any wild expert
ment, and before going off on such
hallueinations let us have a reason for
it, and good one, but to the point,
desire and answer to the following
questions, purely for instruction on
the questions, and ask any free silver
man to answer them through the vi.
DETTE:
1st-Why would such coinage give
relief
I'd Through what channel would
such relief reach Mississippi farmerp
3rd-How many silver miners would
it make millionaires in one dayP
4th-What benefit, if any. could the
national government derive from such
action, and what would supply the
revenue now derived from the
seignioragep
5th-How mnch silver could the en-
tire capacity of the mints coin annually,
and how much additional cost would
it be to the United States government
to try such an experiment.?
6th-What is the entire produce of
all the silver mines at present in the
United Statos and Mexico per annump
7th-On. an average for the past
century. what per cent of the silver
mined has been put in coin as money!
Sth--Would not the large quantity
of useful articles OF merchandise and
silver wares ETC., be greatly enhanced
by such action, and would not a Mis-.
sissippi farmer have to pay about 81. 90
for what is now a $500 article as in
that proportion for any article of sill
yer merchandise that he wishes to
purchaser
9th-@lf it would produce more
money and more business in every line
why are not all the bankers in the
United States in favor of it, as any in
telligent man who is informed on bank
ing rules knows the banks make large
rates and the more moner and more
per cent CT their profits on exchange
business the greater the volume of ex-
change. On the other hand, the less
money and less business or depressed
business the less exchange and neces-
sarily less profit to the bank.
10-Is there ncR more money seek
ing safe investment in the United
States to-day and at as low a rate of
interest as there ever was before since
the late war, if not name the time and
proof OF same by facts and figuresp
l could suggest many other points
Of interests on this question, but will
not take up any more of your valuable
space at present Trusting the voters
of this county may have an oppor-
tuuity OF reading an explanation of
these Questions from some free coin
ago democrat at an early date,
