TARIO
Judge Noonan Phillips Opens the
Campaign Of 'oS With an
Eloquent Address

ONTARIO, Jan. 7.-(Special to The
Herald.) By special invitation of the
bimetallists of this section, Judge Moo
nan Phillips delivered an address on the
current political topics of the times at
the A. o. U. w. hall this evening. A
brief summary of his eloquent and argu-
mentative address is as follows:
Previous to the election Of 1896 he had
urged the election of w. J. Bryan as a
possible remedy for some of our ills, and
with the hope that in his election we
might find an avenue of escape for the
toiling millions. Aggregated wealth,
however, proved too powerful, and by
the most extravagant use and abuse of
money ever known in the history of
campaign, by coercion, threats and
bulldozing, and by very narrow mar
gin. Mark Hanna triumphed. The Ding
ley bill was to provide panacea for all
our ills, but it turns out that the remedy
Is worse than the disease, inasmuch as
the accommodating months but add to the
deficit of the national treasury
While the goldbug orators assured you
that the silver issue was dead and that
McKinley's election would be it's funeral
rite, like Banquo's ghost, 1t will not
down, but stalks abroad over the land,
rejuvenated and living force and issue,
tormenting the major and making Mark
tear his hair and rage. crying, Alas and
alack, 1t will not down." If the promises
of the goldbug press and the goldbug or
ators had been carried out would this
meeting tonight have been held or even
been possible? They promised us to
restore confidence; has 1t come? They
must imagine it has, and that our Gre
dulity is unlimited, since they ask now
through the recommendation of Mr..
Gage, the head of the national treasury,
that we confide all our financial inter-
ests to the hands and tender mercies of
the national banks of the land.
II have seen it in print in the goldbug
press that prosperity is here; that there
is plenty of money in the banks. There's
the rub There's plenty of money in the
banks, no doubt, and 1t Is likely to re-
main there as far as you and I and the
rank and file of the people are concern
ed. About 10000 people in the United
States have 80 per cent of the money and
propose to keepit. They have the banks,
the railroads, the telegraph and the
steamships, the mines and the oil wells,
and now they want the absolute control
Of all the money In the nation. In other
words, they demand the right of issuing
your and my promissory notes, backed
by our integrity and our ability to pro-
duce wealth as a guarantee of payment,
for which Mr.. Gage proposes to exact the
enormous tax of one-fourth of per cent
per annum for all taxes, and in return
they will loan US back our own notes at
1 or per cent month.
At the conclusion Of the meeting a
silver club was formed of twenty nine
members amid considerable enthusi-
aSm.

RANDSBURG, Jan. 6.-(Special Cor
respondence) Travel to this mining
district is perceptibly picking up, which
is partly due to the advent Of the rail-
road. but principally to the renewed &C.
tivity in mining operations. The output
of the Rand district mines is now fully
$4,000 per day, of which that of the Yellow
Aster company Grand group is about
one-third. Mining investors are arriv-
ing daily and seem willing to loosen

opening for investment presents itself.

out January LIST on account of non-com-
pliance with mining law have been
taken up by new locators, the assess
ment work done and in many instances

critics in the near future.

The shower of few days ago, when the
rainfall was from .25-100 to an inch, ac-

come out all right, and that a better
crop will be realized than was thought
ten days ago. The rainfall since mid
night up to noon today was .15 of an
inch, and the indications are that there
will be heavy rain tonight. The rain
