we shall never see the golden age
''until the golden rule becomes the
rule for gold"
Under the searchlight Of knowledge
IN these later days it is folly for us
longer to ignore the mighty power Of
poverty to induce evil habits of every
kind. It was only our ignorance of
the condition Of the industrial classes
chat magnifed a single propaganda
and minimized every other so that the
temperance people in earlier days be-
lieYed that if men and women were
temperate all other material good
would follow in the train Of that great
grace. But we now know that the
rapid progress of invention is con-
stantly diminishing the number of
Workmen required in the different lines
0f industry. Official statistics indicate
that the number of men employed as
carpenters In New York, for instance,
has been decreased Is per cent. by new
machinery, the number of buttonhole
makers so per cent, of shirtmakers 80
peR cent, of bakers and confectiOners
10 per cent, of furniture workers 35
Per cent, printers Al per cent, type
founders so per cent, silk ribbon
weavera 40 per cent, wood-carVers SO
per cent, and so on. We know that
slectricity has but begun to play its part
as mans proxy in the world of force.
For instance, by means of platinum
wire stretched between two poles and
used as a saw, heated to Whiteness by
electricity, trees are now felled more
quickly and by a cleaner stroke than
ia the past, and eight trees may be cut
down by this method while one II

genees and tastes, but the plutocrats
form a very small group compared
with the great army of wageworkers.
and 1t is universally admitted that the
habit of drink and other disintegrat-
ing modes of living are slowly dying
out among the intelligent and fairly
comfortable classes that live in the
temperate zone between the two ex-
tremes.
Nothing short of wilful ignorance
can account for the continued ignoring
Of poverty as perhaps the chief procur-
ing cause of the brutal drinking habits
with which whole areas of population
are distempered throughout the Eng
disappearing world. Those words of
Holy Writ are ominously true in the
present condition Of things; "Let him
drink and forget his poverty, and re-
member his misery no more"
In view of these considerations, it is
more than shortsighted folly, it is un-
pardonsble stubbornness, not to say
criminal apathy, in us as temper
ance workers If we do not clasp
hands of intelligent and earnest sym
lpsthY with the wagewOrker and un-
employed. We must lengthen our
cords and strengthen our stakes until
they reach so far over into the camp Of
our bread-earning brethren that ours
shall be forever more two "csmps al
| lied' in thought and purpose to bring
in the better day. We must be able to
see if the eight-hour law ia temper
ance measure, a purity measure, a
gospel measure, and nothing less; for
! by means Of the eight.hour law one
third more men and women among
those now unemployed can find stand
7 ing-room in the winning battal-
lion where they can fight for free
and independent life and well-ordered
home, for. the living wage means not
only that the wsge-earner shall live,
but that he shall live we'll. Ruskin

people were SO dead to the love of
their kind that they left them in poY-
erty without hesrtache or a blush.
It was the great jurist Cook who
said: "The bread of the poor is the life
of the poor, and he who defrsudeth
them is a man of blood"
Poverty is disease; it is degradation;
it has no right to be; and when men
and women wake out Of sleep and see
themselves as the criminals they are,
nothing in the world will be 80 sure of
actual determination as that cursed
thing called poVerty-the cradle of
crime, the father OF filth, the mother
of misery. In the past we have COM
fOrted ourselves with looking upon It
as the effect of wrong doing, but have
now aroused ourselves to the study of
it as cause. We are determined to
burn out to its last infectious atom the
stencil Of the slums and the supreme
temptation to a bad life with which
poverty haunts the dreams of baby
hood, hsndicaps the purposes of youth
and enthralls the life of manhood.
And yet full well know that ma
jority of those who read these lines
will first of all CALI me a crank, and
then find leaping to their lips His
words who said; "The poor ye have al
ways with your BY such eVasions is
Christ blasphemed, who stated to the
people of that time one of the blackest
facts in their hypocriticsl record, but
whose gospel is the gunpowder of pow
erty, and one of the ground principles
of whose early church, God made, was
this, that "they had all things in COM
mon." For some reason | have never
heard a sermon from these words; it
would not suit the wealthy pews, and
community of goods is honestly be-
lieVed by good men and women to have
been an impracticable result of that
first glow which died away and was
followed by more rational method of
procedure. But the time is coming
nay, it is at the door-When not little
group of prosecuted followers, but the
great friendly hreside of nations, shall
have "all things in common" The
golden rule calls on us for nothing less.
If we do not find this in it, our plum

Tax Collector county:
Dear >ir-In view of the gen
eral impression prevailing through
oughout the state that the tax
payers are allowed, by the act of
1896. until the first Monday in Oc-
tober, 1895, in which to pay the
taxes of 1894. without additional
expense, and for other good rea-
sons, it is deemed best that the tax
sales for the unpaid taxes of 1894
should not take place until the first
Monday in November, 1895, and
you are directed to withhold the
tax sale notice until October, and
not offer property for sale for the
unpaid taxes of 1894, until the first
Monday in November, 1895.
The governor concurs with me
in this matter.
Yours very truly,

average of bank clearings in June is A.S

Ia per cent. less than in 1892. The most
potent influence has been receipts Of more

The time draws near when good crop

unearthed by which the Golden Fleece
Mining Company has been systematically
robbed for number of months and to-
day it was announ ced that the mine
would shut down for an indefinite period
at once. The thieving has been confined
to high-grade ores, and will reach enor-
NOUS proportions, as the amount stolen
has exceeded ons-half of their monthly
output, whleE has averaged at least
SIC, 600 per month. These figures seem
possible only when the extraordinary
richness Of their high-grade ore is taken
into consideration.
Rumors duplicating many Of the en-
plOyes and various citizens of the camp
have been current all day. but no
positive information, has been made pub
lie. A reward of 81 900 for information
each person implicated In the robbery
has been made. The management insists
that there has been an organized gang at
work making shipments to various parts
of the State and even to Mexico, whence
the ore was reshipped to the smelters.
They say they will run down evesy
member of this gang, if it costs $4,000 to
do so. This mine has been paying regu-
lar monthly dividends of Sl2. 900 tor over
two years. The wages paid the men are
the highest in the State.

GOLD AND SILVER.

Large Increase I'm the Production of
Both Metals the Past Year.
WASHINGTON, June 14.-The Director
of the Mint. r. E. Preston, estimates the
worlds production of gold for the calen-
dar year 1894 to have approximated
S,S70,518 fine ounces, Of the value Of
$lS1, $40, 100, as against Sl5S, S,S36, 900 for
1893, showing an increase during the
year of So. 2.674.000. The greatest increase
in the production of gold during the year
were: Africa. Sl1, 100000; Australia,
S6,O73,O00; United States, So, SOC, 900;
Mexico. 50. $4,000.
Mr.. Preston estimates the worlds pro-
duction of silver for 1894 at 165, ,91S, ,33S
fine ounces, of the coinage value Of S2l4,-
3Sl, 900. The bullion value of the same
at the average price (63l) of silver for
1894 was Sl05, ,34S, ,135, showing a diff
ference between the coming value and
bullion value OF Sl09, 1872. .965. The in
crease in the production Of silver
in 1894 over 1898 was $4,000 ounces.
The greatest increase in the production OF
silver was: Bolivia, SIC, 500, 900; Mexico,
So. 800 600; Peru. 81. 000, 900; Chile. 81 ,400.-
600: Greece. 81 400, 900.
Both the production of gold and silver
in 1894 exceeded that Of any prior year in
the worlds history.
Mr.. Preston is of the opinion that his
estimate OF the gold and silver produce
ton of 1894 is conservative estimate,
and he is of the opinion that were the
exact facts known they would show an
increase even greater than stated.

THE STAR OF FREEDOM.

The Government Having Much Trouble
Regarding the Stolen Vessel.
SAN Francisco, April 1.-THE United
States Government is having good deal
of trouble regarding the schooner Star of
Freedom, which was stolen from this city
some months ago by Oscar Bartels. The
owner of the Star of Freedom laid her up
in Oakland Creek last summer and went
: off to sea. When he returned to this city
his vessel was gone, and on making an
investigation he learned that she had
been sailed to Ensenada, Lower CalifOr-
MIA, by Bartels. When the owner of the
vessel went TO Ensenada to take posses
sion of her. however, the Mexican Gov
ernment refused to give her up, and he
returned to this city without his vessel.
The Federal authorities are determined to
secure possession of the vessel at any cost,
SO next week United States Marshal
Baldwin will leave for Ensenada with
the necessary papers, and no doubt the
vessel will be turned over to him.
