ASSESSMENTS

The recent decision of the supreme
court with regard to taxation has ere
ated not little agitation in many Of
the counties Of the state, fact which
is evidenced by the number Of letters

into which the commissioners and
county and township assessors have
been plunged by the ruling of the court
that railroads cannot be compelled to
pay a full valuation assessment while
private individuals pay on a third
or one-forrth valuation. The present
rate Of taxation for state taxes is fixed
by the legislature. Tbs county COM

FARMERS today complain more of
railroad monopoly than of any other
economic evil. They say that these
corporations are in a position to absorb
all agricultural profits, leaving but a
bare living for the farmer. That is
true because private ownership of rail
roads is a species Of Iandlordism. The
profits OF railroad companies are not
liked by competition, but by the plra-
tical policy of "all the traffic will bear. !"
Such a business is a natural monopoly
because nOn-competitiye, and as such
should be owned by the people and
operated for their benefit alone.

We are constantly told that the
price Of silver has declined because of
an Overproduction Of that metal. Up
to 1881 the production Of silver vas
less than that of gold. Upon the theo-
~ that the price is wholly dependent
upon the production, it is fair to as
sumo that if the gold dollar was worth
100 cents to the dollar, the silver dol
lar in 1881 was worth more than 100
cents. But assuming that each was
worth 100 cents then, and that the
value depends altogether upon the pro-
duction, as the increase il the produe-
ton of silver, say in 1892, was about
100 per cent, the right price of silver
then would have been 90 cents on a
dollar. The theory, however, is de-
cidedly interfered with by the fact
that the silver dollar was then worth
100 cents. But adopting this theory as
to silver, it must be fair TO apply it
also to gold, and if we do we find that
the production of gold in 1892 was 50
per cent more than it was in 1881, and
consequently that the gold dollar was
then worth only 81 cents. There is no
getting away from this, if the above
theory is correct, and no getting away
from the fact that the value of the gold
dollar is fat value. II that is true,
the silver dollar can be made to be
worth 100 cents by fiat.

SUPPOSE THEY no.

Senator Teller is reported as express
ing confidence that both the old par
ties will give silver prominence in their
platforms in 1896 What if they do?
Both of them did so in 1892. The world
has the result. The silver declarations
of both have been ignored OF made to
mean something entirely different
from what they were held to mean be-
fore the election. The gold power has
possession of the machinery of both
parties, and it will never yield 1t. Il
may appear to do so to deceive the PEG
pie, but when the voting is again over
it will be found that the grasp Of the
money power is as firm as ever. At the
very best nothing but a compromise
can be obtained through the old par.
ties, and in all such compromises the
money power will have the better half.
No great question like that of none.
tary reform has ever been settled by
old parties, and never will be. The adj
verse influences are too strong. The
very fact that those who take the re-
form side of the question strive to pre-
serve the old organization is proof that
they will yield too much in order to
preserve it. The people may be lulIed
TO sleep by an apparent yielding, but
they will awake to find themselves
more firmly fettered.
The party machines that wrought
these conditions and made reform nee
essary, must be overthrow before re-
form can come.

.Farta for Farmers.

There is no reason why every farmer
who has easy access to water should
not have on his place an institution in
which food will grow with scarcely any
trouble, and food too, more valuable
than that which comes out of the
pork barrel With trihing outlay at
first, most any farmer can construct a
fish pond, if he has no irrigatiug reser-
VoiT, in which he will find it much
more easy to cultivate the German
carp than to raise a brood of chickens.
With such an institution ON his farm
he is always sure of one kind Of
wholesome, nOurishing food. One
farmer up in Noble county, Ohio,
recently wrote: "One Of my neighbOrs
started a pond in May, 1883, and he
Informed me the other day that he had
sold over 5000 worth of fish to stock
ponds and for market. He has two
very large ponds on his farm. In the
first place, l think a pond or artificial
lake composed of black loan soil is
the most suitable for these fish. The
ponds should be fed from living
springs of good pure water. They
ought to have plenty of grass in the
edge Of the water for the spawn to
adhere to. One Of my neighbOrs has
pond lilies, which are very beautiful
and attractive"

HORROR OLE HoRRnRs

1t was recently discovered that the
gold coin turned out by one of the
minis of the country had been tamper-
ed with by dishonest employees and
that in consequence of containing too
much alloy was not up to standard.
Just think of it. Money has been in
circulation that did not possess sufi-
Gent intrinsic value" We have been
selling our wheat and hogs and cattle
for dollars that we could not have sold
for 100 cents each; and have been pay
ing debts with that kind of money. It
is enough to throw a goidbug into
spasms. By the way, a goldbug in com
menting upon the fact that the silver
dollar had been largely counterfeited
recently said that we would always be
in that danger as long as we had silver.
It seems to De the proper placs to re-
mark that as long as We have gold We
are in constant danger of having too
much alloy added to our coin. Both
statements are equally sensible ana
equally absurd. Farmers Voice.

Fell Into and Out OF Fortune.

s'I've frequently heard of men fall.
ing into fortunes" said Senator Jones,
of Butte County, "but I never knew
but one man to do it. That was old
Pete Chapelle. He was cooking for
some of the boys who were working
little claim near Butte Creek. He had
drawn his wages and had been over at
Dogtown drunk as usual. He didn't
start home till late and darkness soon
overlook him. He wandered aimlessly
around and finally brought up at the
bottom of an old mining shaft that was
badly covered. He fell only about
thirty feet and struck feet first in
four feet of water. He couldn't have
climbed out in the darkness if he had
been sober, SO there he stayed till
morning.
"The old shaft had been timbered
near the top and had caved in from
the timbers down, so that old Pete
had pretty hard time finding foot
hold when he tried to climb out. He
scuff1ed around with his feet till he
kicked loose lot of gravel on the cav
ing side of the shaft and slid into
the water again. He repeated this
time or two, bringing down pile OF
gravel each time. Finally he saw a
glitter in the bank and picked out
$50 nugget. The boys finally found
MIN and hauled out. He staked his
claim and sold it for $4,000.
''Now you may think it strange
that man should fall into fortune,
but the strangest part of it is that old
Pete fell out of it again. He had
oeen an aeronaut in his younger days
and had always had an ambition to go
back to ballooning. He went to
France, his native country, put all his
money into big balloon, got drunk
on his first ascension and fell out OF
it. San Francisco Chronicle.
