The following sentence, said to be
taken verbatim from a law recently
passed by the Nebraska Legislature,
has very strange and alarming
sound. Perhaps proposition has
been dropped out of the last phrase:

arms whatsoever on any public road
or highway in any county of the
State of Nebraska, except to destroy

1t is said that a careful investigation

We have very grave doubts as to the
successful results likely TO be attained by
the governments proposal to levy a roy
atty at the rate OF 10 per cent. on the
value Of the gold extracted where IL does
not exceed 500 monthly. and OF 20 per
cent where IL exceeds that sum. We do
not think that the members of the gov
eminent realize the difficulties In the way
OF collecting such royalty under the
circumstances which will be likely TO pre-
vail in the north. Hundreds and thou
sands of holders of claims are likely to re-
Quire TO be dealt with, and these scatter
ed over large area of country. for al
ready il is reported that rich diggings
have been struck miles beyond those.
which. on the Ciondyke, have started the
people of a whole continent in wild race
after the precious metal. 1t will require
an army or collectors and agents TO keep
track OF the miners, and see that the gov
eminent gets its royalty. and even then
TO make the system effective will involve
such close supervision as will almost GER
tainly cause constant irritation and hos
tile feeling towards the government. AS
a matter of fact. we do not believe the
policy can be carried out in practice OF
course, Il certain amount will be collected
but many miners viii manage to avoid
payment. and royalty of 20 or even 10
per cent. is an immense premium on dis
honesty We observe also that
the government proposes to reserve for
the dominion every alternate claim in
placer ground that may hereafter be
staked off. Unless the government in
tends to adopt an elaborate system of
plating out the ground and that too

plan OF reserving alternate claims is i'm

A BIT OF SILVER LOGIC,

What Decentralization Has Cost Us.
Scarcely anyone can now be found
to dispute the proposition that the de-
monetization of silver, which made
old the only primary money, in
creased the value of the latter. And as
1t measured all other values. or as the
prices of everything else were rated
in gold it, of course, took more of them
to buy a given amount of it, or, as we
say, prices went lower. Not only
prices of products but of real estate,
OF everything. Silver is not used as
money because, it is said, it is so cheap,
and 1T is cheap because an unlimited
demand is not made for it, as is made
for gold. The Republican United
States Senator Chandler of New Hamp-
shire declared in a recent speech in the
senate that the shrinkage Of values of
all kinds in this country alone since
1890 is $4,000, 900, 900, due, he a
very largely, if not entirely, to the de-
monetization Of silver. The report of
the director of the United States mint,
for 1896, says that the difference be-
tween the coinage and commercial
value of all the silver mined in the
world since 1873 is $706, 113,6 500 If,
therefore, in 1873 the United States
had made a contract to keep all the
silver of the world at a parity with
gold, as it then was, and had found it
necessary to spend that seven hun
dred millions to do it-and that would.
Of course have done tive would have
been spared the loss Of $22 in the valua
of u properties of all kinds for every
dollar expended in carrying out the
contract. The demonstration of sill
yer has surely proven a costly as we'll
as a CHASTITY mistake.-Farm, Stock
and Home.
