NEVADA and CALIFORNIA.
A Sagebrush Threat S1irs up the

would be we'll for Nevada 10 retaliate
and cease it's Trade with alrf, rnia.
TO this the Mail r-plles:
There is no doubt that California.
owes more to Nevada and q hers OF
the silver States and territories, nota-
bly, Montana, Utah, Colorado and Ari-
iona, for her present proud position
than shr is at all times willing t. ac-
knowledge. Nevada especially feels
that her wealth and her people have
contributed largely t O our
Her people bow think tia, in the
hour of her trial California has de-
serted her, ty e%spousing the gold
standard. In this they are mistaken
Sentiment unfortunately din no, ,.Iay
any part in Tn" last ei-ctiai, and nur
silver mining friends to the n. nth and
east OF 10 should not feel hurt tie
cause California vent for Mckinley.
1t is not because they 1--we silver less.
but that they love protection more.
Blind to their duty t" tn. mselves,
they should not be- Judged too larshly
for their thOughtltssness Of others.
We are scarcely surprised that our
neighbors should feel keenlv our I'M
neighbOrly conduct aud ubbraid us
for waut of symrathy and friendli-
p-ss, but they should MT Judge us too
harshly. That the miners # Nevada
Idaho, Utan, Montana, c. lOrada and
Arizona are sorely aggrieved is shown
by the attitude of their newspapers
and by the letters exchanged between
friends. The press of the mining
States is especially bitter.
1t then gives extracts from Nevada
papers showin- the hostile feeling
continues:
throughout the great mining re-
glon the word ha- gone forth to boy
colt California dealers and California
manufacturers, notably those deal
ing in mining machinery and those
that made themselves prominent in
he anti-silver crusade. Even some
OF the papers published in the south
ern mines Of this State are advocating
a boycott of San Francisco. The
MaripOsa Miner, commencing the at
titude Of the belligereut Nevadans,
says:
The mine owners and merchants of
Nevada should give the wholesalers
and iron manufacturers of San Fran
cisco a lesson that they will not forget.
they have voted to again dastroy
Nevada's principle industry and take
the bread from the mouth Of the toll
ing masses IF that State. The peo-
pie Of Nevada have a chance to resent
this insult Let them do it Every
mining county merchant in CalifOr-
MIA b is a friend OF the white
metal should Withdraw his patronage
from the Bay City houses and bestOw
1t upon Stockton dealers. San Fran
cisco should be taught an "object les
son" it will ever forget.
Stockton lie just beginning to cast
about for jobbing trade and our
merchants would be pleased to receive
this business, but there is another
side to it. Within a fraction one-half
the vote of this State was cast for
Bryan. A large per cent of the peo. lie
were as earnest and stauch friends
ofsilver as can be found anywhere.
They are SO still and have by no
means abandoned the fight. The
Mail sincerely believes hat IS per cent
Of the other half of the population ale
friendly to silver, believe ia the double
standard. but were led into relieving
that protection was the paramount
issue and that if Mckinley was
elected an honest and determ med eff
fort would be made to bring about free
coinage by international agreement
They believed in silver and still be-
lieve in it, but they were scared by the
bngahoos Of "repudiatiou" and AN
archism."
Then, too, many honest men had to
vote for gold. II they bad not done
SO, they would have been ruined in
business or would today be seeking
employment. OF this more will be
aid later on. when the evidence that
is now being gathered is completed.
Enough has been done in this direc-
tlon already to warrant tie statement
that v before were the people CO.
creed and ~dragooned as they were at
the last election.
Let u friends in Nevada bear in
mind and ponder on these facts. The
battle is not over. The fight for silver
has just begun. Every vote NAV be
needed; none should be alienated.
This is not the time for revenge; it is
a moment in which to reform the
alignment of forces, preparatory
to the real struggle. Nothing must
be allowed to interfere with that.
