she paid us the difference in gold or its equiv

Instead of trying to drive Us to a gold stand

have her commercial rival abandon the stand

half civilized. noncomE,e rci;l nations. The
ridiculous story of Ernest Seyd was exploded
years ago, and, though the vase was shattered.
the scent of that lie hangs round the country
still. The silver tongued orators still tell the
people there was conspiracy to demonetize
silver, although no man has ever been able to
call the name Of a single conspirator. In 1873
the motive for demonetizing silver was on the
wrong side. The silver dollar was then worth
nearly cents more than the gold dollar. Who

WHAT Is TO BE DONE:

II the recently made forest reservations
are TO be reopened by congressional action
It viii only be done through showing
made OF the magnitude Of the interests
involved. and the actual damage done TO
individuals by the Withdrawals Vague
generaIities "a to the miners and settlers
will not be sufficient. and fiery oratory
viii count for but little in enlisting con-
gressiona, sympathy and action.
Facts are the ammunition which Is
needed in this engagement. and facts
which can De substantiated When con-
gressional action is asked to have the
Withdrawals cancelled. the people of
Washington should be prepared TO lay be-
fore congress the exact data, showing sv-
cry town. village and postoffice lying with
in the reservation, every mine opened. and
every prospect located; the money ex-
pended In each instance; the amount OF
development work done and the value Of
tests
II such = showing Is made as the facts
warrant there Is TO reasonable doubt that
congress wiz revoke the hasty and HAD
vised action OF Mr.. Cleveland IN making
the reservation But the oollating OF
these facts should not be left to individual
effort ana enterprise. It Is work d.
rectly within the province of the Cham
bers OF Cornme-ce. Boards OF Trade ard
Mining Exchanges. and bureaus OF the
state. They are in a position TO readily
accumulate the necessary data. and TIA
working miners and thoSA interested IN
claims within the limits OF the reservs-
tion WI DO only too eager 20 furnish the
information II there IS sou1e central bu-
reau or agency which they can address.
The necessity CT prompt action in this
matter cannot be too often or too forcEoly
impressed Congress conveues in special
session one week from tomorrow. and the
prospects are that the session swin bs short.

Federal government with good grace could
renounce it's claim upon the public lands
and let the individual states regulate the
handling OF those lands themselves. The
Federal government has already drawn
millions OF dollars away from the states
OF the West for the purchase OF lands.
IL has recouped itself over and over again
for every dollar which IL has ever expend-
ed in those states: and at best the only
title which the Federal government ever
had to the lands since statehood was
based upon the forced concessions which
the new states were compelled to make
as the price OF their admission into the
Union.
