The DeLamar nugget. [volume] (DeLamar, Idaho) 1891-1900, 1895-05-18


When the Sherman purchasing act
was passed in 1890, silver, within few
weeks, advanced from 80 cents to S1.20
and would, no doubt, have reached a
parity with gold in few weeks more
if the goldbug plutocracy of Lombard
and Wall street had not have combined
to down it again. If the Secretary of
the Treasurery had done his plain duty
and paid out silver instead of assisting
the bankers to disgrace it, silver would
have at once reganed its rightful posi-
ton and from that on would have main
tanned it in spite of all its enemies in
Europe. This is an illustration of the
position silver would assumein defiance
of all Europe if our government will
only adopt free coinage. No inter-
national agreement would be required
to restore it to a parity with gold when
it became worth the price it would
reach at once if it was given recogni-
ton in this country. It's enemies could
never pound its value down again as
they did in 1890, because the whole
world is becoming educated to the fact
that its restoration is essential to pros
perity, and silver is steadily gaining
friends, even in the home Of its bitter
est foe England.

Great Railroad Scheme.

They had railroad meeting at Boise
last Tuesday. This is the way it came
about. The business men of Caldwell,
some time since, raised $500 to pay the
expenses of w. Fl. Sayidge and sent
him east to confer with parties with
whom the Caldwell people had been in
correspondence about the road. Mr..
Savidge returned, accompanied by a
gentleman who represents capitalists
who have evolved plan of building a
road from Butte to Reno, taking in
Lemhi, Custer and Atlanta districts and
and thence down the river, through
Boise to Caldwell and via Succor creek
route to DeLamar, South Mountain and
thence on to Nevada to connect with
the Central Pacific.
These capitalists propose to begin
this line by constructing the road be-
tween Boise and the Owyhee camps
first, and ask the people to subscribe
$250000 TO assist in building this por-
ton of their contemplated line. They
do not ask this money as donation
but offer to give good guarantee for
its return as soon as this portion of the
road is completed, they proposing to
bond the road and return the money
out of the funds realized on the bonds.
Who these capitalists are and what
their ability and responsibility may be,
we are unable to learn, but the scheme
they propose is practical one and the
proposed line would, nearly all lis dis
tance, run through great mineral
country and much of it through terri
rich in other resources.

Populistic Close Communion.

Captain Gum, of the Boise Sentinel
is certainly TOO close communion on
the silver question. In place of offer
ing words of encouragement to the sill
yer movement, now being inaugurated
all over the West, he launches into a
column or two of matter, questioning
the motives that induced the movement
and reeites what hss and what has not
been done in the past, gloryfing him
self and party and rejoicing because
there has been no larger amount con-
tributed to the silver fund.
Instead of giving welcome to any
legitimate means for the advancement
of the silver sentiment, he attempts to
throw wet blanket on the movement
for the reason, evidently, that ii is not
exclusively populistic.
He, with others of the same party,
have been unslinted in their denounce-
ment of party feal,y when it interfered
with the good of the country at large,
and trembled with Indignation as they
described the means used to keep the
people from acting in their own interest
regardless of party affiliations.
Are not the populists taking the same
course-or rather, the Sentinel, for we
don't believe that the rank and file of
the party will subscribe to such doc
trine. 1t is simply demagoguery and
appears to be prompted for the further
ance of individual purposes and not for
the good of the people at large.
Captain Gum also advises some home
missionary work and relates touch
ing incident of a young man in Boise
acknowledging that he was not silver
man until he read Coins Financial
School. Do not Boise people read the
Sentinel? That surely is silver paper.
Captain Gum, all through his article,
creates the impression that is recorded
of the Pharisee Stand off, for am
more holy than thou.u
The NUeGET heartily welcomes every
means by which we can increase the
silver sentiment and, as far as it can,
will encourage the movement for the
silver fund and, while we are sorry that
the Sentinel, with all its boasts of de-
votion to the silver cause will not put
its shoulder to the wheel, we'll try to
get along without its influence.
