would be the credit of the United States
in the worlds money markets? There
can be no doubt of its multiplying rates
of interest by about three, thus increaS-
ing the power of money at the expense
of everything else in this country.
A GOOD MAN TO NOMINATE.
Marysville Democrat: In November
of the present year an election will take
place for seven members of Congress
to represent this State Already names
Of gentlemen have been mentioned for
these officers, and. among them ex-
Judge ]. Nj. Walling of Nevada City.
We are not advised if Judge Walling
desires the nomination, nor do we know
if he would accept if it were rendered
to him. But it has been our pleasure to
have had a personal acquaintance and
to know of his private character and
public record during thirty-five years
past. Therefore, we feel inclined to
mention the fact. In Congress or out,
he is a good man. Not only that, but
he is an able and an honest citizen,
who will ever be found true to his
party, true to his friends, and never
will straddle the fence on any public
question.
1ttON AND TARIFF.
Fresno EXpositor: The fact that Ala
bama iron was underselling the Eng
lish product in it's home market in
duced an English syndicate to send
agents to Alabama last spring TO as
certain the extent of the States min
eral resources. These agents made
careful investigation Acting on this
report, which was very favorable, it is
learned that this syndicate has definite
ly decided to build a million dollar steel
plant near Birmingham Isn't it about
time to puncture this humbug of iron
needing a tremendous tariff rating to
maintain itself? How long is it to re-
main am infant industry?" 1t can
now undersell every nation in its pro-
duct in almost every port on earth
VOICE OF THE PESSIMIST.
Stockton Mall Clearly the people
have not any voice at Washington;
clearly they are not the masters. In
theory our institutions remain In prac-
tice they are upset. We have no
longer servants, but rulers Or rather.
those who are constitutionally the peo-.
pies servants have become the SER
warts of a rich and powerful and un-,
patriotic few, through whom these few.
rule over the great body of their coun-
trymen. And SO it is, that with the
nation painting for honorable war, the
Government persists in maintaining
dishonorable peace; and with the
shrieks and means of murdered men
and outraged women ringing in our
ears we are forbidden to take arms like
men and scatter the brutal and atroc-
ious murderers before the guns of our
ships of battle and the bayonets of
American soldiers.
MONEY PER CAPITA.
Tacoma Ledger: Congressman Jones
claims. in the silver Waterman" that
the country is suffering from a money
famine, and puts the amount in cir
cnlation at not over So per capita. There
is more money in circulation than there
was in 1896 by many millions, and that
more is not in circulation is due to the
continued attempts of Teller, Jones and
their crowd in that direction of 43-cent
dollar reputation. Money was never
SO cheap or plentiful in this country
when there is security than a hundred
cent dollar will be paid in kind Sixty
millions have been loaned in Europe.
and the hundred millions of Mexican
gold bonds offered by that country will
be taken with American money.
