THE PHENIx CONVENTION
How Things Were Run to Suit
 the Bosses.

A. L. Grow returned from Phenix last night where he had been in attend ancs ct she Republican convection. He ssates that the golJ men were in the majority and ruled the convention to suit themselves. A. an instance hs says that the committee virtually de- sided that Cochise county did net know how or what delegates to send and proceeded to arrange matters to their liking. unsesting J. A. McRse,s duly appointed delegate from s'. David, and placing Wm, Shillism of Benson in his stesd, the latter being gold bug Mckinley shouter who wac not even mentioned in the list of Cochise representatives when the del- egates were given credentials here Editor Bird of Nogales. who was turn cd down by the Pima delegation st Tucson, was also accorded recognition in some unsccoun,sble manner. By what system of political juggling such proceedings can be brought about is past finding out. Any attempt to talk silver or introduce e silver resolu- ton was promptly ignored and the number of free coinsge delegates pres snt would not make c corporsl's guard.
 The platform ss.sils the record of the Democratic party, warmly advocates statehood, commends the lsbors in congress Of Delegate \. Q. Murphy. advocates tariff for protection partic. ulArly on wool, and upon finance has the following;
 "we endorse the national Republi- can platform ss enunciated at St. Louis. without any reservation what ever; while we believe ir bimetallisn n. we believe the Republican party is the only true friend of silver and will leg. islste in such . manner as will be favorable to the coinage of silver with. ont disturbing the business interests Of the country. We regard the silver plank in the national Democratic platform as simply a subteriuge. in- tended to confuse the people ard direct their attention from the true issues before them in this campaign which is legisistion on the tariff qu.s tion."

ARIZONA PATRIOTISM.
All Should Stand bv the Silver
 Cause.

The Gazette says, any man living iu Arizons should favor the free coin- age of silver and gold st the legal ra- of l6 to l. simply from instinct, II he has uo, the ability to fuI ther reason. When 1t comes to logical argument. none can be found in favor of the single stsndard because it isvors the inequality and enhances the value of money to the direct detriment of all producers. Even the hobby of pro tec,ion vanishes because free coinage furnishes . natural protection accord ing to the laws of trade and exchange, extending our field of commerce to all silver using nations and excluding importation from gold standard coun- tries.
 This is . natural law of protection. based on equity. not on the plan oi putting the lsborers earnings into the pockets of the trusts and combines.
 What is true locally will hold true nationally, and who diputes the fact that free coinage would benefit our esrritoryf The mountain sides ID every section of Arizona are filled with silver deposits. Tombstone, once the pride os the mining world and the largest city in Arizona, is now but . little town. The smoke stacks from the many big silver mines are new silent and millions of taxable wealth has been swept away in the county of Cochise alone. In the White Hills i1 Mohavs and in Ysvspsi county similar losses have been sustained and once thrifty camps arc now desolate. Tn the face of all this. right here in our own county men declare for tts gold standard. They should not have disgraced their homes by SO doing.

THE REVOLJTIONISTS.
U. z. Cavalry and Mexican
 Troops Along the Border,

Captain Pitcher of the First U. 6. cavalry has been ordered with his command from Deming to assist the U. s. Marshal, who is rounding up the gang of outlaws iniesting the border and made the attack on the Pslomas custom house. Three troops of the Second Mexican cavalry under Lieu. tenant Colonel Gonzales are also pa trolling the border. The soldiers st Fort Bliss hope they will bs ordered out to pstroli the local border SO % to give them something to do.
 Deputy Aarshsl Looms gives the Republican this account of the rob bers of the Mexican custom house.
 There were twenty-siI men in the party. The guard .. the building con- sisted of four soldiers and sn officer. They went upon the roof and fired . volley ct the robbers. Cavalry and infaatry within sound of the guns soon arrived. Two robbers were killed and iour wounded. The rest scattsrsd along the Rio Grsnde. The men are all known Mexican outlaws who are wanted for oftenses in Mexico. The ID arsbsl had traced one Of the raiders together with two of the wounded men to Mesilla park, where they had taken the ( o'clock train for Fl Psso Thurs- day evening. Deputy sherifs Brent and John Casey were on the trail and found that the men reached Meeilla park that morning and had remained in hiding until the train came in. The we'll man had been arouod offer ing to sell his revolver and probably succeeded in raising enough money to sake all to Fl Paso. It is thought by Deputy Loomis that the men arrested h El Psso were fueitives.

Statistics show that in 1892 the
per capita consumption of wheat
in the United States was 5.91
bushels, while in 1894 it was only
3.41 bushels. This decrease of
215 bushels meant the loss Of the
sale of 153, ,713, $50 bushels, which
added to the decrease in export of

1T is PROTECTION.

Chicago Inter Ocean: The Brit
ish people are not of the opinion
that currency is the main issue of
the campaign. They understand
clearly that the things mainly to
be determined are just these:
Shall the United States become a
producer of all that it needs under
protective policy, or shall it pay
millions of gold yearly to Eu
rope, and mainly to England, for
supplies of goods that it ought to
make itself; and shall the United
States again enjoy sufficient reve-
nue. from tariff duties, or shall it
continue to be a borrower from
European money brokers?
Really, these are the main
questions at issue. Our present
system of currency is the best in
the world; it maintains silver,
gold and paper at domestic par
ity. The Republican platform
pledges the party to a continu-
uance of this envlable condition.
But it is by protection that money
is to be taken from the banks and
restored to the channels of trade.
The London Times of June 10
stated the case clearly in these
words: "The protectionist plank
of the Republican platform could
in no circumstances be viewed
with favor in this country, but it
is the fundamental plank of that
platform, and its draw b k S
would certainly not have been
mitigated if it had been coupled
with an unsound currency plank. 7"
No sophisty can make itappear
to All intelligent person that the
protectionist plank of the Repub-
lican platform is aught else than
what the London Times declares
it to be: "The fundamental
plank For Whether currency be
of gold, or of silver, or of paper
at domestic parity, the American
people will enjoy the use Of little
of it unless a demand for labor or
food be stimulated by protective
policy.

liffculty in floating an unlimited

difficulty in floating an unlimited
amount of per cent bonds at par
within ten days after the presi-
dental election, no matter wheth-
er the gold or the silver ticket be
triumphant. The credit of the
United States is all right, and
will continue to be all right.
The story of President Cleve-
land being renominaied by the
gold democrats has taken fresh
start, and it finds believers in
Washington. Like the original
story which was first heard when
it was thought that Mr.. Cleveland
was pulling wires to get himself
nominated by the Chicago con-
yention, this one includes a war
with Spain, whic h is to be
brought about by the recognition
of the independence of Cuba by
the president, and which is de-
pended: upon to arouse the pa
triotism of the country to such
high pitch that all other issues
are to be forgotten and, President
Cleveland reelected solely to pre-
vent a change of administration
in the midst of a foreign war. If
the gold democrats are to put up
a candidate it would not be sur
prising if their choice should be
MIR. Cleveland, but as to the rest
of the story---the American peo-
pie are not idiots.

Parkston Advances: In the Sc

Taylor to the state of South Da-
kota after his return were $50, 900
of Mexican mining bonds. They
are first mortgage bonds and bear
six per cent interest, and are is
sued by one of the best predicting
SILVER mines in Mexico, which is
a free silver state where the own
efs may have their bullion coined
and called dollars. The coupons
were clipped on these bonds last
October by State Auditor Nipple
and Sent to the Chase National
Bank, New York City, for coli
lection, but were returned recent
ly and are now at Pierre uncol-
lected, as a ailver mine in free

per cent. Even after their pro-
duct is coined and called dollars

The government of France is
now redeemitg much of its silver
coin at its intrinsic value, which
is about 40 per cent of its face
value. Great Indignation is ex-
pressed by the people at this
move. 1t has also forbidden the
use of the silver coins of several
foreign countries owing to the
flooding of the country with for
eign silver.
