The Silver Trust.

The oddities are still harping on
the "silver trust" and the recent
wholesale defeat Of organized greed
In his interview in The News Mr.
ingalls, spoke of the "silver trus" as
the greatest and greediest of all
trusts, compared with which other
unholy trusts were but as infants in
arms. The rhetorical gyrations of
the gentleman from Kansas are never
hampered by truth. Here in the
mountain states we know that there
is probably no other productive in
dustry in which there is 80 little Of
cooperation or organized effort as
among the numerous and widely
scattered silver mine owners. And
if all the silver mine owners in the
United States had by some miracle
become gathered together in a trust
the organization would be a poor and
puny thing compared to those trusts
which are actually and at this mo-
ment going through the pockets Of
the people.
The anthracite coal production of
this country in 1894 was 52.010,433
tons and nearly all of it is under the
control Of the trust headed by the
vice president-elect. Within a COM
paratlvely short time there have been
raises in the price amounting IN the
aggregate to $150 q ton or nearly
$80,0O0,000 a year additional profit
for this modest tlust. The total COM
mercial value Of all the silver pro-
duced in the United States in 1894
was only $31, 403,531. The additional
profit put on hard coal alone is more
than two and q half times the selling
price of all the silver. The produc-
ton of crude petroleum in 1894 was
48527. 1886 barrels and the oil trust
which owns practically all of this
petroleum is estimated to make a
profit Of at least 81 barrel out of
the commercial products of the petro-
leum in addition to what it would
make if there were no trust. There
are about $50 trusts in all which con-
troll nearly every necessity of life.
Figures may be strangers to the slti-
tude where dwells Ingalls, but to
those Of us who remain on earth they
have some significance. = Rocky

WELCOrlE CONNER.

In the last issue of the Republic
City NetCs, Conner T. Davies announ-
ces that he has purchased the Kan
san, peoples party paper at Ooncor.
dia, and will continue 1t in the fight
for populist principles. He says:
Il have had faith that the republi-
cans meant just what they said ID
their party platforms, and thousands
Of others have staid with them IN the
same faith until it has been unmis-
takeably proven that they have been
juggled with, they have been thwart-
ed, they have been paltered with in a
double sense. The word of promise
that was made to their ear IN the
platforms of political parties has
been broken to their hope as has
been so admirably expressed by Sen
ator ingalls,, l believe in the finsn-
cial reforms advocated by the peo-
ple's party. / do not believe in the
platform lately enunciated by the re-
publicans.
To follow my own convictions of
right, my sense Of duty to myself and
my country there was but one thing
to me to dol have done it. Hence
forward, though 1 JOIN their ranks in
the hour of their National defeat, ]
hope to be identified as an editor and
a citizen in advocating the cause of
the only party wholly devoted to the
interests Of the people as against the
encroachment OF organized greed and
rspacious plunder. / cannot forbear
to say it is with a pang OF sincere aud
heartfelt regret l feel IN breaking
political ties and friendships with the
newspaper workers Of the republican
party. l wish / were assured that l
should henceforwsrd enjoy their per-
sonGl esteem as they have so gener.
ously bestowed it in the past. No
man has ever had better opportunity
to realize the large heartedness of
the Kansas editor than / have. No
man appreciates their esteem any
more. No one relies more on their
fairness and inherent sense of being
Just to their fellow man.
Respectfully,
Conner T. DAVIES.
Mr.. Davies has been one of the
hardest fighters for republican prin-
ciples in the etate, and il making
this change will no doubt be skinned
alive by the patriotic (?) press of
Kansas. We bid Conner welcome
and hope that his efforts In his new
field of labor will be upon the same
line of fesrlessness as when he was
championing republicanism. There
is room for more. Come in boys.

The Irrigation Decision.

The decision Of the Supreme court
of the United States affirming the
validity Of what 49,. known as the
Wright irrigation law Of California
is of far-reaching Importance to all
the states and territories in which
irrigation is necessarily practiced az
means of successful agriculture.
The case came to the Supreme court
on two sppeals-one from the United
States Circuit court ct California,
which had held the law unconstitu-
tionsl, and one from the state Su-
preme court Of California, which had
held the law valid. The decision Of
the Circuit court was reversed, and
the decision of the state Supreme
court affirmed.
The Wright irrigation law provided
for the creation Of irrigation districts,
the construction Of irrigation canals
or other works, and the levying Of
assessments on the lands benefited to
pay for the same. A number Of dis
tricts were formed and bonds issued
to large amounts to aid in the work.
A Mrs. Bradley refused to pay her
assessment under the law, and secur-
ed an injunction in the United States
Circuit court to prevent the sale Of
her land. The constitutionality of
the act was called IN question, and on
this issue the case went up to the
court Of last resort. Its determine
ton not only involved the validity
Of the law, but the validity Of the
bonds also.
In delivering the opinion of the
court Justice Peckham held that the
use Of water for irrigation in the arid
region was public use, for which
the legislature of the state had the
right to provide, and that 1t had the
right also to tax the lands benefited.
That there might be inequalities IN
the law did not affect the principle at
issue-thst was a matter Of Legislative
correction. The validity of the law
was therefore sustained in an opinion
Of great force and Clearness.
There can be no doubt but this
opinion will have the effect Of greatly
extending the irrigation system Of
California. If this district system
works we'll in that state, 1t is not at
all improbable that it will be propos-
ed in other states, and the practical
result will be an immediate extension
Of agriculture by irrigation in all Of
the arid region. 1t is understood
that several large projects in Kansas
have been only waiting for this de-
cision from the Supreme court

"WE have in this county a few gen.
tlemen, who knew better, but who
went over the county telling the PEG.
pie that the gold standard" advo-
Gated by the republican party, meant
that there was to be no other kind OF
money but gold. The republicans
endeavored to convince these gentle
men that it meant nothing of the
kind, but a majority Of the people of
this county listened to this false claim
of the Office hunting pop, and Office
hunting free silver republican and
voted to put them in office. The re-
publican party nationally was sue
cessful and whatever the gold stand.
ard platform of the republican party
meant will be the law of the country
for the next four years. All who
we're made to believe that the "gold
standard" meant gold only for money,
are respectfully requested to watch

There same gentlemen still believe
just as they did before the election
The only money in circulation today
is gold. The silver and paper are
simply tokens of money, based large
