cause they have long sought and must
have a Pacific soast outlet, are the Rock
Island, the Missouri Pacific, the NJ. K. &
T. line and the Frisco. The New Mex
loan understands that these companies
or any two of them stand ready to guar
antee the interest on the bonds necessary
to build and equip the new road if Hun
tington will undertake to float them, and
such a deal is not improbable. This
700 miles of new road can now be built
for less than one-half the amount required
in past years.
When such project is considered,
wonderful possibilities are opened up to
New Mexico. Such line would give
great impetus to the growth of Albu-
querque and operate to benefit every
section of the territory east of the Rio
Grande. The Tijeras canon route would
be adopted to get through the mountains
east of Albuquerque, which would open a
superb mining section in south Santa Fe
county and the result would unquestion
ably be that the D. & R. G. road would
extend its line south distance of only
fifty miles from Santa Fe to tap the new
road. Coming up from Roswell the Pc
cos Valley road would reach it somewhere
between Anton Chico and Fort Sumner,
and G. B. Eddy's White Oaks-El Paso
line now under way would surely find its
way northeast from White Oaks to
junction with the road, thus rendering it
from the start trunk line of no mean
Importance with feeders covering very
rich section of the Rocky mountain
country. These several projects have
for years been discussed, we know; but
they are all feasible, and, under the
changed condition of things, we believe
New Mexico will realize her hopes in rail
way construction much sooner than most
I of rs now imagine.

NEW ROADS FOR NEW MEXICO.

"a confirms the announcement frequent

O. W. Smith, nephew of @. P. Huntington,
Of the Southern Pacific company, assumes
control of the A. d P. road to-day, and
negotiations are now in progress which
will doubtless result in an amicable Or

relinquish all control of the Frisco road.

ran over to New York last week and got
in a body blow on Boss Reed. "Six
weeks ago there WAS practically no OPP
position to admitting the territories"
said Murphy, "but lately considerable
irritation has developed on account of
the monetary dispute, and motives un-
American, sectional and selfish have
caused several hasty, and, think, ill-ad-
vised representatives to announce their
opposition to the admission of any more
western states, whose senators, they
think, would disagree with them on the
money question. The merits involved
are temporarily obscured on this account.

\ couple of bogus coins of the de-
nomination of ten dollars were de-
tected in Asotin this week. They both
came from Lewiston and evidently
some one in that locality is engaged in
cOunterfeiting. The counterfeits are
made of lead washed over with sub
stance to resemble gold. Both were OF
the year 1881. They were easily de-
tected here as they do not have the
ringing sound-Aso.in Sentinel. And
Lewiston men this week are gazing
wistfully at a few of these curios.

Fixinf the Price Of Silver.
\. t'URRINEI,.

One of Mr.. Bryans favorite
statements is to the effect that any
purchaser who stands ready to
take the entire supply of any arti-
Gle at certain price can prevent
that article from falling below that
price: and So the government can
fix a price for gold and silver by
creating a demand greater than
the supply. This sounds we'll,
but it is irrelevant and misleading.
Of course if the United States
should offer to buy all the silver
in the world at fixed price, with
the assurance of ability to do so,
nobody would sell silver at any
lower price. But this has nothing
to do with the question of free and
unlimited coinage. That theory
does not involve the idea of the
buying of silver bullion by the
government. 1t means that the
owner of the bullion shall be al
lowed to take it to the mint and
have it coined and returned to him
in the form of silver dollars-only
that and nothing more. Under
such a policy there would not be
single ounce of silver purchased.
The bullion would not change
ownership by passing through the
mint and coming out as coin; and
the only function of the govern
ment in the case would be that of
certifying to the amount Of silver
contained in the coins.
Mr.. Bryan's way of stating the
matter conveys the idea that the
government would purchase and
coin the bullion OH its own ac-
count, and that all Of it's power
would be exerted to keep such cur
rency at par. This is a gross de-
ception, whether intentional or not
Mr.. Bryon knows very we'll that
free and unlimited coinage is a
proposition to dispense with the
protection that the government
now gives to silver, and simply re-
qu,re it to coin for the owners all
the bullion that may be presented.
AS for the fixing of a price, that
would depend entirely upon con-
ditions outside of the act Of coin
age. The relation of the govern
ment to the transaction would be
merely that of an ageAt, without
any responsibility except that OF
accuracy in weighing and stamping
the metal. In other words, the
prop that now sustains the silver
dollar-the pledge to maintain the
parity Of the two metals-would
be withdrawn, and the new dollars
would have to stand On their own
merits, which is to say that they
would be worth only the value O
the silver contained in them. This
point is one that can not be too OF
ten repeated. 1t is of more i'm
portance than any other in the
pending controversy. because i
shows the fall.cy Of the free coin
age scheme so far as the continu
ance of the present advantage o
the silver currency is concerned
That advantage would at once dis
appear. and the inevitable r, sui
would be shrinkage Of value t.
the extent Of the difference be
tween the actual and the nomina
value Of such money.
