l would ask how are the revenues
OF the State benefited by driving this
vast amount Of property out, and
mind You, those people did not pay
the license, but, when it was neces-
sary to have land to be exempt from
its collection, leased from the G.. PR
r., thereby adding another son roe of
revenue to that vast monopoly. l
would ask You in all fairness how
many merchan ts, blacksmithe, hotels,
farmers, etc., have been benefited by
tho absence OF all this property with
the large number of men necessary to
move it? Take the poll tax alone
and it is quite a respectable sum.
Stop and think for moment-do a
little figuring-and you will see how
much goes into circulation to help
build up some other State, which is
glad to have this property we persist
in driving out.
Another thing I will draw your at
tention to is this: No State is cursed
with monopoly OF land equal to the
State Of Nevada, and it has never
been profitable to the holders, but
their greed and avarice controls their
common sense to that extent that
they will not throw it up. The inter-
est on the purchase of this land is 6
per cent. They want this interest re-
duced. They came near doing it the
last legislature and look out at the
next election, for while we are shout
ing our slogan of free and unlimited
coinage Of silver at the ratio of 16 to
}, they may take advun tage of the
noise and get in their work. Don't
support a man for the legislature who
will not pledge himself to protect this
sacred fund is my advice.

On the Anxious Seat.

The Republican U. S. Senator'S
held brief caucus in Washington on
the 23d ultimo. Senator Chandler
suggested that the adjournment Of
the National Legislature ought to be
possible by May 18th, and he was sup
ported in this opinion by the almost.
unanimous vote of the caucus. The
reason given for an early adjourn
ment OF Congress is that the Repub-
ican Senators and Representatives
care not to discuss the money ques-
ton on the floors of their respective
houses. They know that the voters
are being educated rapidly on this
question and that the official doings
Of the National legislators are keeniy
watched by the electors. The Repub-
licans in Congress prefer to go to st
Louis in June and help frame single
gold standard plank. and il this is not
considered prudent by the majority
Of the platform committee, then to as
eist in framing meaningless money
plank, Like that which was fabricated
at Minneapolis in 1892. Then, too, it
is very probable that more gold bonds
viii have to be issued soon as the
foreign bankers are depicting the Ma
tional Treasury Of it's gold reserve
rapidly again. Congress, of course,
would rather be In recess Just about
that time. But the people may put
an end to these ruinous methods on
the Bird Of next November. Belmont

MAGNETS THAT LIFT TONS.
Growing Use of Electro-Magnets and Elec-
trio Cranes.

By means of the electric crane and the
electromagnetic, which wore introduced
into this country and recently exhibited
before the American Society of Mechani-
cal Engineers, it is claimed that three
men can now do in fifteen minutes the
same amount of work which formerly
taxed the strength Of six men for ninety
minutes 1t is found Invaluable in
working with pig iron, heavy castings
and immense boiler plates.
1t Is believed by engineering experts
that these lifting magnets will soon re-
place the present forms of the derrick and
travelling cranes. Preparations are being
MAIDS to introduce this device in the great
Carnegie works ct Pittsburg, and its
practical workings are being very care
fully watched by at least half a dozen
large manufacturers throughout the
country.
At first sight, it appears odd that a
small coil Of metal weighing only about
forty five pounds can, by that strange
force known as magnetic influence aided
by the equally mysterious power of cleo
trioity, lift tons of iron with no apparent
grip upon the weight to be lifted. 1t has
been proven by experiment., however, that
such an electromagnetic can lift seventy
two times it's own weight.
In England the electric crane and cleo.
tro magnet are in use in number Of
places, in particular at the Woolwich
arsenal and at the Sandycroft works.
Those in use at the Woolwioh arsenal
were designed by an officer in the British
army, and greatly simplify the work OF
lifting and moving heavy shot and plates
Of iron and steel Particularly is the
electro magnet Of valuo In lifting heavy
shot, as previous to their use working
men experienced no end of trouble in
getting sings securely around the shot.
quired the labor of many men.
Now the electromagnetic is lowered by
the magnetic crane and simply laid or
the side Of the shell to be raised; the
turning of small lever at the base of tho
crane switches on the current, and the
| work is done. Here the new apparatus
enables three men to do the work which
formerly required nine mon.
The construction of the crane and
magnet is peculiar and its inventors
! claim that there is less chance of break
than when the old-fashioned tackle was
used. Indeed, SO far as is known, nc
| accidents with the new method have thus
far occurred.
The electric crane looks very much like
m ordinary swinging crane. 1t is con-
| struoted of the best steel, the frame being
comparatively light, but of a strength
far in excess of any strain which will
ever be put upon it. From the base of an
upright steel beam long steel arm pro.
jects, first upward at an angle of forty
five degrees: then, with bend upward
and outward, it extends for distance
nearly twice the length of the supporting
beam. Two steel rods, reaching from
| tho top OF the beam to the crane act as
supports or holds. One is attached tc
the base and just at the bend, while the
other is attached to the upper end of the
crane.

The silver Democrats won a sweeping
victory in lows. Indeed there was no
opposition to them worth speaking of.
The platform contains fatfooted deola-
ratiun in favor of free silver at the IS to
/ ratio and offers to the convention a
man that would be glad to stand on such
platform in the person of Horace Boies
In Illinois the drift toward free silver is
so strong that even Comptroller Eckels
admits that there is no hope Of check
ing it, 1t is becoming more and
more evident that the Demo
Gratis of the West and South are 60
ing to the Chicago convention practically
a unit for free silver, while the Demo,
Gratis from the East will go united for
gold. that the contest will assume a
sectional aspect, and that free silver will
win because the South and West are
bigger than the East. Evidently the
Eastern Democrats are to have chance
to carry out their threat of bolt. That
they will use it is not SO certain.

To be sure they call it incidental pro-
lection. but the qualifying adjective
makes no essential difference. Thew
use it simply TO let themselves down
easily. All protection is in a sense modem
tai. 1t is seldom, if ever, duty is placed
upon an article solely for protection. 1t
is almost invariably partly for revenue
and partly for protection. 1t is seldom so
high as to be prohibitlve and shut out
all imports of articles on which it is
laid. This resolution of the New Hamp-
shire Democrats is substantially the reso-
luton adopted by the national Democra-
tic convention in 1854, before Grover
Cleveland had undertaken to determine
the tariff policy of the party. If the
national convention adopts this resolu-
ton it is most likely will in substance,
there will be little chance for fight
over the tariff principle lie, because the
Democrats will have practically admitted
that the protection doctrine is sodnd and
polite. Every sign points to the currency
as the principal issue of the campaign,
with the Republicans on the gold side
and the Democrats on the side of free sill
yer. So far as the tariff is concerned it
looks now that the only difference be-
tween the parties would relate to the
amount of protection and the manner of
its application.

the only one that has been asked. Even
the presence at Canton of Senator Lodge

promptly that he was not in that kind of
business, that he had nnthing to go to

candidate, would stay in the race unit
