DISWANTLED INDUSTRY.
Silver Being Shipped Away
From the Mint by Gold STAN
dard Administration

Any one who cares to see the enects
of a gold standard administration on
the Carson Mint, has but to go down
there and see the tons of silver bullion
being loaded on the freight cars, pre-
paratory to its being transported to
San Francisco. The APPEAL told the
people of Nevada just what would
happen to the Mint if a gold standard
president were elected. The gold or
pans of the State, however. insisted
that the Republican party was deter
mined to restore free coinage ''by in
ternational agreement" and If any
one wants to see how the '~'internatlon-
al agreement scheme works on silver
coinage, the little strip of ground be-
tween the Mint and the V. & T. +. r
track is a good place to study 1t.
Well, the Republicans voted AID ar
gued and shouted for a gold standard
president, and having got one they
viii have to be satisfied with the way
he closes MINIS in Nevada by Inter
national agreement" you know.
One cause for the d~ismantleing Of
the Mint lies IN the fact that the Re
publicans who ran it a few years ago
were a band of thieves. They stole
bullion bodily out of the Mint, and
when driven to a corner and caught
red handed in the act, put up an elab-
crate job to cast the blame on innocent
parties. Yes gentlemen, and you cant
rub it out: the fellows who stole the
bullion, falsi6ed the accounts and spent
a small fortune bribing witnesses and
Jurors, and sailing potato patches,
were all members in good standing OF
the grand old Republican party. They
were d nice lot of thieves, jury bribers,
s%ubOrners of perjury, and manufacture
ers of evidence, but ali being RepubE'
cans their party press stood in and de-
Tended these fellows to the last and
abused everyone who intlmated that
they ought to be 10 jail. Two OF the
gang. after repeated trials, were land
ed behind the bars ard the balance got
away. They will not squeal on theil
pals as long as they are '~'properly con
~sidered" by their aforesaid pals, and s'
runs the world away. The dismantle
ing Of the Mint means that the author
tiles at Washington cannot find a SUI
fcient force of men in the State, il
their own party, TO run the institution
without giving the country anothe
r scandal, or else they are not in favor @

A Denial.

The Reno Gazette Of yesterday pub
fishes a statement to the effect that Ed
mund James of this city has made a
bet OF $4,000 against $500 on the result
of the G~OvernCrship contest. The Ca
zette further says that Mr.. James
jumped the first train when he heard
that there was money to cover in Reno:
that he tool $1,000 with him and also
a lawyer to transact the
business for him.
In an interview with Mr.. James last
evening he stated hal the above was
false: that he did O go to Reno by
rail; that he did not take $4,000 with
him, nor did he make any $1,000 bet.
neither was a lawyer friend employed
and that he did not represent any Car
son Syndicate. His mer trips to
that city were purely of a business
character and what was done was in an
absolute, legitimate line outside of
betting. Mr.. James is always ready to
bet money when he thinks he has an
even show to win. but the Gazette
simply made capital of a business mans
trip to the riverside town. Such
small means will not only keep capita
out of that town, but will probably
drive away this man, who was ready tC
put his money into that section of Ne.
vada.
