CURRENCY DEBATE.

The currency bill passed the
House last Monday by 100 to
I4o. Eleven Democrats voted
for it, the Republicans were solid.
1t appears that the main Demo-
cratic argument was directed
against the currency and National
Bank features of the bill. Had
it been merely a straight declara-
tiou for the gold standard, not
withstanding its being a Republi-
can measure, no doubt fully half
Of the Democratic members would
have supported it. This simply
goes to indicate that the senti-
ment of the country is overwhelm-
ingly for the gold standard. The
debate has brought out some
things which ought to be remem-
bered. In the first place there is
a notable difference in the quality
of argument employed. The
Democrats rely almost entirely
on statements of what might
have happened in the past and
what, for anything known to the
contrary, may happen in the flu
ture; while Republicans stick
closely to what has happened and
what is. For example, the Dem
ocrats of the silver faith say, if
silver had not been demonetized
in 1873, the country would have
been very prosperous. To which
Republicans reply, the country
has been very prosperous, except
when the Democratic party tried
to run the government. Demo-
Gratis cry, if production of gold
should cease, what would you do
then? Republicans reply, the
production of gold has been con-
stantly increasing for several
years; we see nothing to indicate
a decrease; the production is now
ample to serve present conditions,
we will cross that bridge when
we come to it. Another charac-
teristic of the debate has been the
different methods of treatment.
Two extracts will illustrate this.
Mr.. Benton, Democrat of Mis-
souri,, speaking of the currency
bill, says:
IL means the wedding out Of the
middle classes, the bone and slnew of
free government, and leaving US two
classes, the very poor and the very
rich. It means, as l read it, the en-.
ilavement of the farmer, miner, cOun-
Try merchant, small banker, mechanic,
md day laborer to the money power.
This last brings a snser 20 the face of

Selah.
"Protection is the mother of
trusts, come let us STAY the wench,"
sayeth the Democrat from the
housetops and in the forum.
Then straightway he beth him
self with much Republican gold
to Mountainhome and putteth his
trust in wethers and ewes and
lambs and merino bucks.
"AIl the profits growing out Of
the sale of my pook shall be de-
voted to the cause of silver, which
is the cause of humanity" shout
eth Bryan, and straightway he
buyeth $4,000 worth of gold,
U. S. bonds of the vintage of
Cleveland and Carlisle, 1894, and
giveth them to the wife of his
bosom so he may say to the hated
gold bug, "the woman done it."
"Gold," said the silver orator
in go, "is a coward. 1t sinks
into hiding at the approach of
financial storm" True, but it
always comes forth in abundance
at the approach of a Republican
Administration. No good thing
is afraid of Repu blicanism, but
before Democracy all the things
which nre good fleeth from the
land.
"Give us free-trade and the
markets of the world" cryeth the
Democrstic prophet. And when
free trade comes, the factories
close, idleness and want are en-
throned an there is nothing made
with which to supply the markets
OF the world, neither is there any
money with which to buy the
things which, in the markets Of
the world, are for sale.
"Yield unto US the government
and the fullness thereof" pleadeth
the Democrat, "and we will cause
plenty and prosperity to abide in
the midst Of the land" tits done;
and upon the morrow, in the
morning thereof, Coxey gathereth
about him the hosts of the army
of idleness; the doors of the fac
tories and banks are closed, and
the doors of the free soup kitchen
are opened wide; and then the
Democrat crieth in the wilder
ness: "Woeunto the Republicans
Tor bringing this sorrow on the
people"

IRRIGATION DISTRICT.


an irrigation district embracing
the territory under the Phyllis
canal is, as we understand it, sub
stantially as follows: In the first
place there was a proposition to
organize under the so-called
Caldwell High Line. After
wards, it was deemed advisable to
abandon that project and unite in
the organization of a larger dis
trict comprising territory under
both the Caldwell High Line and
the Phyllis. The reasons for
this are numerous and sufficient
to fully satisfy great majority
of the people concerned. The
objections TO it are few and some
what captious. According to our
information the principal objector
is State Engineer Ross, who, we
believe, POUNDS his opposition on
the substantial ground that the
people have not exhibited a suffi
Gent reverence for his recon-
mendations. We are told that by
a process peculiar to himself he has
succeeded in discovering "physi-
cal obstacles" but the nature of
them he Prudently refrains from
disclosing, which is creditable to
his prudence. He also AYERS that
the cost per acre under the larg-
er district would exceed the cost
under the smaller. That, while
possibly true, is largely a matter
of conjecture. In estimating
along that line, the basis of calcu-
lation must be the proportionate
number of acres actually suscept-
ible OF profitable cultivation, and
not the number of acres of all
sorts of land within certain
boundaries. Now, roughly stat
ing it, according Engineer
Wiley's report, there are within
the so-called High Line district
about $4,000 acres and within
the>Phyllis about $4,000. That
territory under the Phyllis and
exclusive of the High Line is
practically all susceptible of prof
table cultivation, while large
tracts under the High Line are
not. Calculating ON basis of all
the land within the boundasies
of the respective districts, Mr..
Wiley estimated a cost of S. per
acre for the High Line and So
for the Phyllis, inclusive of the
High Line. After deducting
from the High Line district the
inferior land and that which could
not be reached, there would
probably not be more than 1000
acres left, then the actual tax up
on serviceable land would be
about 81 per acre, On the same
basis of calculation the cost under
the Phyllis would be about So.
When we consider that under the
larger district, embracing the
smaller, but one management will
be required, one annual election,
one bond issue--in short, that the
one organization will cost only
half as much as the two, it seems
to us that the economy is on the
side of the larger district. More
over, we are all concerned to see
the country grow and develop,
and under the larger district there
will be room for that kind of
thing on a scale commensurate
with the enterprise of our people.
We trust State Engineer Ross
will not permit his chagrin to
warp his official judgment.
