Merritt a communication setting forth

General Merritt concluded with deo-

Santa Fe Calls on the NeWspa-
pers of Kansas
To Furnish Facts and Interest
ing Statistics
RESOURCES
To Encourage immigration and
Advertise the State.
VIII Circulate Them Widely in
Pamphlet Form.
SHOWING RESOURCES

The newspapers of Kansas will this
year becaIled upon by the Santa Fe Rail-
way company to show their faith in the
state and print editorials presenting the
resources and advantages of the re-
spective localities in a readable form.
This matter will afterward be collect
ed by the Santa Fe and published in
pamphlet form as an advertisement for
the state and with a view of encourag-
ing immigration to this territory
This somewhat novel advertising
scheme is outlined in a letter from Vice
President Paul Morton to Mr.. c. A
Higgins, assistant general passenger
agent of the road. Mr. Higgins ham
dies much of the work of compiling ad-
Vertising matter, and viii look after the
new advertisement for Kansas.
Mr.. Morton's letter is as follows:
In the last ten years there has been
little or no immigration to the state OF
Kansas. There are many reasons for
this, chief among which are the de-
pressed times that we have passed
through and the general disinclination
Of people to make changes or take
chances.
In my opinion this is row going to
change. immigration is to commence
again It will not be from foreign
shores, but from eastern and middle
states, and the quality viii probably
be a high grade class of Americans,
who will be looking for homes for them
selves or children on cheaper and bet
on and these are the folks Kansas and
her neighbors should add to their pop
ulatiOn-
7 think we should prepare an ad-
vertising pamphlet setting forth the re-
sources of Kansas, agriculturally and
industriaIly, and it has occurred to me
that we should suggest to the news
papers along our line in that state
what we want, and at the same time
urge on each of them to editorially
dwell on the above text in one col
urnn article with the understanding on
our part that we take as many of these
editorials as seem best and print them
in pamphlet form, and give them wide
spread circulation
These articles should tell why people
ought to locate in Kansas, what can be
done with Kansas lands, what they are
selling for approximately, and what
other vocations besides farming can be
successfully prosecuted in the town or
county where the paper is published
This proposition is nothing more or
less than asking the Kansas editors to
tell of the faith that is in them, with
the understanding that we will see to it
that residents OF eastern and middle
states will be supplied with the inform
alton by US.
please send a copy of this letter to all
papers on our line in Kansas and ask
them to help US in the work of directing
immigration
Mr.. Higgins is sending these letters
out to the Kansas newspapers, toGeth-
er with a personal letter asking that
marked copies of the papers containing
the editorial articles be sent to his Office
in Chicago.

Discovery of the Mysterious

is Reported.

Seattle, Wn., March 25-According to
a letter received by Charles Manning
Of Everett, Wn-, from William H Emer-
son there is a stock of gold dust and
nuggets at Dawson City large enough
to fill a wood rack feet high and "A
feet long. Writing under date of Feb
ruary Is at Dawson City, Mr. Emerson
said he had just returned from the bar
racks, where the mounted police were
guarding the stack of gold He also
spoke Of a strike on a creek 40 miles
from Dawson and added:
The creek is said to be full of gold.
The discovery has caused the biggest
stampede yet Every man and woman
in Dawson has Joined the rush Daw-
son is almost deserted
He also told of a Frenchman named
Joseph Barrett taking out S13 900 in "A
hours on his claim just below DiscOv-
cry on Banana.
When the story was told to F. W.
Cobb, the old Harvard athlete. who has
large interests in the KlOndike, he said
he did not doubt any feature. In all
probability, he said, the new creek was
the mysterious Too Much Cold or
''Hayu'' gold, as the Indians described
it to Joseph Ladue and other old pio-
neerS.
This creek had not been found when
left Dawson City said Mr. Cobb, but
there is no doubt Of its existence"

WORDS THAT JAR
John J. Ingalls, Wonderful De-
nunciatiOn of Gold
Is What the POpuIists Base
Their Desire On
Do D -1-w "0 D"T
TO ASK HIM TO RUN
For Congress on Their Ticket
in the First District.
He Voices Their Sentiments and
They Admire Him.

In support of the statement that John
J. ingalls, would make an available can
didate for congress on the fusion ticket
in the First district, the Populists who
are advocating that idea, have brought
out the speech which Mr.. ingalls, deIiv-
cred in the United States senate Feb.
IA, 1878.
The speech Is now being circulated in
the district to prove that Mr.. ingalls, is
in accord with the PopuIist theory of
finance. AS this is claimed to be the
most important issue of the campaign,
the managers of that party's interests
very much desire to put forward the
abIest exponent of that doctrine they
can secure.
Mr.. ingalls, said in the senate:
Gold is the money of monarchs. No
enduring fabric of national prosperity
can be buiIded on gold. Gold is the
money of mOnarchs; kings cOvet it; the
exchanges OF nations are affected by IT.
Its tendency is to accumulate in vast
masses in the commercial centers, and
to move from kingdom to kingdom in
such volumes as to unsettle values and
disturb the finances of the world. 1t is
the instrument Of gamblers and specu-
lators and the idol of the miser and
thief
Being the object of so much adora-
ton, it becomes naughty and sensitive
and whenever it is needed it disappears
At the slightest alarm it begins to look
for a refuge. It flies from the nation of
war to the nation of peace. War makes
it a fugitive. No people in great
emergency ever found q faithful ally in
gold 1t is the most cOwardly and
treacherous of metals. It makes no
treaty that it does not break. 1t has no
friends that it does not sooner or later
betray Armies and navies are not
maintained by gold In times of panic
and calamity. shipwreck and disaster,
it becomes the chief agent and minister
of ruin.
No nation ever fought a great war
by the aid OF, gold On the contrary, in
the crisis of peril it becomes an enemy
more potent than the foe in the field;
but when the battle is won and peace
has been secured, gold reappears and
claims the fruits of victory. In our own
New York and London did not work US
greater injury than the powder and lead
and iron of the rebels. It was the most
invfncible enemy of the public credit.
Gold had no soldier or sailor It re-
fused the national obligations. It was
worth more when our fortunes were
lowest Every defeat gave it increased
value 1t was in open alliance with our
enemies the world over, and all its en-
ergies were invoked for our destruction
But. as usual, when danger has been
gers TO the front and asserts the su-
premacy. But silver is the money OF
the people 1t is the money of wages
and retail. It's tendency is towards diff
fusion and dissemination. It enters into
the minute concerns of traffic, and IS
exchanged day by day for our daily
bread
