covered nearly as much more territory.
To form anything Ike a correct esd-
mate Of the loss resulting from the floods
Of the week is, as q matter Of course, ar
lmpossibili,y But it must approach a
million dollars, and may exceed that
-um. The railroads of the State have
probably lost half this amount, while
thousands OF farmers have lost the en-
tire seasons crop. Scores Of bridges,
great and small. have been carried away,
SOM ,ling Ike TWO or three hundred
thousand dollars worth Of lumber has
been carried OF, and many people in the
small towns and hamlets along the
mountain streams have suffered to a
greater or less extent. Then on top of all
this, there Is the heavy but somewhat
Intangible loss resulting from the lack
OF transportation By railroad through
out the whole northern portion of the
State. \ million dollars would appear
TO be about the lowest estimate TO be
ventured upon at this time.

The "Demonetizatlonv Humhug.

Advocates Of free coinage are doing
greal deal of talking and writing
just now about the DEMONSTRATION
of silver by the act of 1873 and the al
legged consequent contraction Of the
money in the country.
This is calculated to create an i'm
preston that silver, which has been
in use as money, was in some way
stricken down" and deprived Of its
debt paying and purchasing power.
The simple fact is that the act of 1878
merely suspended the privilege which
private persons up to that time pos
sessed Of taking silver to the mint and
getting silver dollar for every 87li
pure grains Of silver OF 1t. At that
time everybody was exercising the
privilege, and there was not one sill
yer dollar in circulation.
How did this suspension ''demone.
tie" silver? The legal tender power
OF all silver coin In existence was and
is preserved, and the government since
then has coined or issued nearly 431,-
100000 silver dollars, which are legal
tender to an unlimited amount, and
each one of them, despite the mis-
guided efforts Of the free coinage
crowd, has been thus far kept equiva-
lent with gold dollar. As only g.
100000 silver dollars were coined in all
from the foundation of the government
up to 1878, and fifty times that number
having since then been coined or issued
what humbug 1t Is to talk about
