only miners being allowed to use what
IL necessary for their purposes. As the
mountains furnish the natural timber
supply for the desert, the government
will doubtless open this fine reserve for
the use of settlers when they begin to
occupy the desert lands below in sufh-
cient numbers.
But probably the most bewitching fea-
ture of this wonderful valley to the lover
of natures wild beauty, Is that right
here in the midst Of this skyland. Graded
amid the very tops Of the great noun

water six miles in length, and width In

mer hotel and fringed with the white
tents of summer resorters. The waters

1t would not be just to close this letter
without paying a brief tribute to the
friend to whose kindness and hospitality
I owe the rare privilege Of my visit to
the desert and the mountains. 30 inade-
Quately described in this writing. That
friend is Mr.. Malcom Matheson, to whose
untiring energy and enthusiasm these
desert lands and gold fields probably
owe more of their present outlook and
future possibilities than to any other
one man. He is native of Prince Ed
ward island. of Scotch parentage. and
endowed with all the characteristic en-
thusiasm and persistency of his race.
His one great desire is to see the desert
blossoming with homes for the people.
and he is planning to revisit his native
home to induce his own people to come
to California with that view.

FREE SPEECH AGAIN DENIED

Free speech in Delaware continues to
have a hard struggle against the moss
covered buttresses of fosslized bigot-
ry The latest intelligence from the
single tax campaign in that state is
to the effect that the authorities of Do
ver, the state capital have decided to
persist in making themselves objects of
execration among all classes of respec-
table people with sense enough to know
that freedom of speech is one of the inal-
ienable rights guaranteed to every per-
son by the federal constitution.
More than q month has elapsed since
the release by Governor Watson of
Stephens and Horan from the Dover
Jail, where they had been confined for
exercising this right, to' the detriment
of no one. Ever since that time the
Single Takers have been holding meet
ings occasionally in park so remote
from the populous portion of the town
as to prevent as large an attendance
as they had and could still have with
meetings near the business center.
Meanwhile members of the campaign
committee and their attorneys have
been quietly but persistently trying to
inject a little common sense and respect
for natural rights into the minds and
hearts of the mayor and city council"
But their efforts were wasted on such
material
A proposition was presented to allow
Single Takers to hold outdoor meet
ings on the same street corners where
other meetings are held without Off
cial interference. The only restriction
to be observed was that the meetings
should be conducted in an orderly man
ner and the streets and sidewalks be
unobstructed. But. though we are near
the close of the nineteenth century, and
Delaware is located in the boasted
"land of the free" the resolution was
unanimously defeated by the Dover
Ounces. On being asked why certain
minister was permitted to hold meet
ings on business streets, the mayor re-
piled: II thought he would do no harm
in particular" Thus did the mayor with
q mustard seed soul virtually admit that
the Single Takers were ostracised and
pgsecuted, not because they were inter-
ferins with anybody's natural rights,

WHY SEWALL Is FOR FREE SILVER
lie Does Not Look Oh 1t as Against the Inter-
ests Of Bankers and z ;c1 lien

81 have been an advocate of silver
ever since congress demonetized that
metal in 1873" said Mr.. Sewall with
emphasis. II held at the time that a
mistake had been made, and have had
no reason since to change my mind"
You are a banker and at the head
of the largest bank in Bath. How do
you account for the fact that your posi-
tion on this question is not sustained
by the leading bankers of the coun-
try?"
There are two sides to every ques-
ton, and as an individual banker |
have a perfect right to take a position
opposite those who constitute the ma
jority in the banking business" said
Mr.. Sewall. "As l said before this is
not a sectional question nor a class
issue. 1t is not true that the banks and
the moneyed interests of the United
States are as unit in the support of the
gold standard. l am by no means an
exception to this rule. In the far east
as in the west there are many manu-
facturers, business men and men with
vast interests at stake, who are most
emphatically opposed to the longer con-
tinuance of discrimination in favor Of
gold. AS the question becomes better
understood the cause of free silver will
find many recruits from these men
If the gold standard oppresses labor and
industry it cannot fail to affect those
who derive their profits from the gen.
eral prosperity of the country
IF labor cannot find remunerative
employment banks must fail and the
value of property depreciate. The con-
tinued prosperity of the wealthy de-
pends entirely upon the steady pros
perity of those who work on the farms,
in the shops and in all branches of pro-
duction and distribution. From an in
terview in the Chicago Times Herald.

TO THE EDITOR

(The Herald under this heading prints
communications but does not assume re-
Bponsibility for the sentiments expressed.) }
Our DUTY
Editor Herald: Believing, as I do, in
the desirability of restoring silver to the
position it occupied prior. 1873, and that
it can be done by the United States inde-
pendently of the action of any other ma
ton, have of late watched with consid-
erable interest the course of The Herald
on that subject, and l wish to commend
the same most heartily The Herald, as
| understood its position, shared in the
belief, held by many sincere Democrats
and upright citizens, that it would be
somewhat hazardous for the United
States alone to attempt the restoration
of silver to its rightful place as money
metal. 1t gave it's reasons for that opin-
ion, Furthermore, with force and vigor,
stating, nevertheless, that if the ma
tional convention of the Democratic par
ty should advocate the opening of the
mints of the United States to the free and
unlimited coinage of silver, at the pres
ent legal ratio, without waiting for the
concurrence or consent of other nations,
it would bow TO the will of the ma jority.
1t has loyalty and honestly done so.
This is in marked contrast with the
course of those who, while calling them
selves Democrats, refuse to accept the
decision of the majority and decline to
support the ticket or accept the plat
form of the party.
1t merits, moreover, the hearty ap-
proval of all who sympathize with the
masses in the struggle now going on be-
tween the plain people on the one hand
and the hosts of plutocracy on the other
Whether they be Populists, Silverites,
Republicans or Democrats, all who would
resist the further encroachments of mo-
nopolies and trusts should unite in sup
porting the paper and the ticket which
stands for the people.
That the ticket headed by William
Jennings Bryan stands for the peoples
cause and against the cause of the mo-
nopolists and for jealous defense of
Americas complete independence of
England's dictation, there can be no
doubt.
Our duty, therefore, is plain. 1t only
remains for US to perform it faithfully
and fearlessly. and no apprehension need
be felt as to the result.
When the smoke of battle clears away
and the election of Bryan is proclaimed
as an assured fact, the commercial value
of silver will, doubtless, reach the coin
age value and remain there, and the
prophets of dire disaster will themselves
be compelled to smile at the senseless
fright which the bugbear of silver re-
monetzation produced

but merely because the sentiments they
promulgated were distasteful to the
D. DIS.
The indefatigable tax reformers in
Delaware. however, are neither fright
ened nor discouraged. They now pro-
pose to exercise their right of free speech
in the streets of Dover, at all hazards
and at any cost. Samuel Milliken, secre-
tary of the campaign committee. writes
from headquarters In Wilmington to
a friend in this city. saying: I'VE shall
again test the Dover JAIL"
AS The Herald has heretofore stated,
the suppression Of free speech In single
instance and in any portion of our great
country is a matter that concerns every
citizen of the United States. 1t is a
menace to constitutional liberty OF
alarming significance. Therefore. what
ever may be thought of the principles
advocated by the Delaware reformers,
every good citizen will hope that free
speech will there be maintained in spite
of the Dover Ounces.

AN INCREASE IN IMMIGRANTS

1t is apparent that during the last
twelve months those elements of Eu-
ropes population moved by migratory
tendencies have had their confidence in
the opportunities afforded by the United
States renewed. The increase in the i'm
migration to this country for the year
ending June 80 over the preceding year
was 72,7S1. This is exclusive of 1924 i'm
migrants sent back because their land
ing would have been in violation of the
laws against contract laborers and pau
pers; of this number 756 We're contract
laborers.
Referring to the financial status of
these immigrants. a very important con-
sideration, the New York World says:
The immigrants admitted had an av-
erage capital of 71.62 each, which is said
to be considerably above the general av-
The herald., 1896-07-22

erage. It is undoubtedly well above the
average cash capital of American wage
earners even in favored localities, and 1t
indicates that only the most thrifty class
of European workers are coming to the
United States.
This is, of course, gain from many
standpoints. In the history of every
country there comes time at last when
poverty, once the handspring of enter
prise and the greater incentive to effort.
is regarded by many as dangerous. So
that this country which was settled by
the poor, which has been made great by
the poor, which but for "pauper immi-
grants" would still be wilderness, can
now demand that every foreigner who
seeks its citizenship shall be in some
sense at least capitalist. The response
to the demand is immediate and surpris-
ing The average wealth of s71.62 shown
by each immigrant as title to admis-
sion is certainly well above the average
of the earlier colonists. If capital fixes
respectability, last years immigrants
will certainly have no reason to dread
comparison with the great-grandfathers
of whom so many Americans are deserv-
edly proud
