Appeal to Reason.

Under the new law the banker
can take the money you deposit
and buy government bonds, the
government will then give him
money for the full face of the
bonds and let him keep the mon
ey and draw interest on it. The
banker can then pay the depos-
itor the money the government
has given him, and he has made
the interest on the bond for the
full time it has to run. When
the depositors return the money
again, the banker can repeat the
game SO long as he can buy
bonds. But the depositor, if he
has the bonds, cannot get the
government to issue him money
that would be rank anarchy,
don t you see?-Tucson Star.

Bryan is as pointed in his hu-
morous anecdotes as he is elo-
quent. In a recent speech he
made the following applications:
''When the income tax bill was
up they told me the rich demo
Gratis would leave the party if it
was passed. I didn't think so,
but found I didn t know the rich
democrats. I then said the poor
republicans will be with us, but
| found [ did not know the poor
republicans. IF the poor repub-
licans, when they saw the rich
democrats coming over to their
party, only had the Judgment of
the lriShman who was driving a
mule, all would have been we'll.
AS the Irishman was driving
along in buggy, the mule stop
ped, looked around at him and
began kicking. He kicked the
harness to pieces and finally put
his hind legs over the dashboard.

A good many people were
disposed to regard as a joke
the statement recently made by
VIM. Ferguson and Wroth Ry-
bon that they saw a live cliff
dweller during their recent
hunting trip in the neighbor-
hood of Verde valley cliff dwell
ings. Yesterday they left for
the same neighborhood equip
ped to hunt for game as well as
to explore the caves and cliff
dwellings in search of the man
they saw on their previous trip.
The man was barefooted, fed
feetly at their approach and
disappeared in one of the holes
in the cliff. Of course, it is not
supposed that the man is a sur
vivor of the prehistoric race,
but that he is some unfortunate
demented being who has taken
up this residence in these his
toric tombs of an extent race

The Paper Trust.

The trust fend draws every
thing into his Unsuitable nav.
During last year the paper trust
was formed. The result in the
southwest has been to nearly
double the price of white paper
of every description. The Au-
gusta (Ga.) Chronicle says:
can effort will be made in this
congress to pass legislation that
will relieve the newspaper pub
fishers of the country from the
tyranny of the paper trust. The
advance which has been made
by the trust in the price OF pa
per adds greatly to the expense
of the publishing of newspapers
and the getting out of the many
jobs of printing for which the
publisher and printer can make
no advance in rates and must
pocket the loss. "
1.-The country newspapers out
my way are hosting signal OF
distress over the increased cost
of paper and pulp" was the ex-
preston of Champ Clark of
Missouri to a Washington Post
man. Zone editor I know wrote
me that with the present prices
for paper, it would cost him $3.50
more to print his newspaper this
year than it cost him last year.
If you know anything about the
profits of country newspapers,
it is easy to figure that only two
ways are open. One is to shut
up shop and go out of business.
The other is to raise the price OF
subscription and job work and
shift the burden of increased
cost of paper on people who
read weekly newspapers. That
is always dangerous expedient.
81 have other letters making
similar complaints and l thought
it time to introduce a bill to
place wood pulp, printing paper
and so forth on the free list. |
wouldn t be surprised if the fel
lows Oh the other side of the
house were compelled to vote
for such d bill. The clamor for
the measure is great.
'It does seem that the boaSted
power of the press is not what
it is cracked up to be, if the
newspaper influence of the coun-
try cannot protect itself from
oppression and procure legisla-
tion that is needed to put it's
business upon a fair footing"
The Winslow mail., 1900-02-01

For the sake of consistency,
not to mention responsibility to
the cause of truth, the admins
tration ought to lay bare the
fact that as a result of excessive
duties nails, iron, stell and
many other articles have ad-
vanced in prices from 100 to 200
per cent. If they would do
this they would not be amend
able to the charge of being
more partisan than patriotic.
To argue that these advances
are proof of prosperity will
doubtless be convincing to the
beneficiaries; but consumers
will hardly be able to under
stand it.-Los Angeles Herald.

The sheep shearing corrals
which have heretofore been To-
Gated on the Arizona canal, are
this season placed at Cave
creek, nearly ten miles north of
the postoffice. There are now
on hand 100000 sheep to be
sheared. The relocation has
been made necessary by the
drought of the past few months,
and the absence of feed on the
plains from the Arizona canal
north to the base of Cave creek
mountains. Even if the rain
should come this month the
shearing will not be moved to
the old location. The wool will
be shipped from Phoenix.

of lack of water for the engines

frequently. The Grand Canon
railroad is paying out 500 per
day for water for that road,
while water for domestic pur-
poses is being sold at Williams
for so cents per barrel. .-Journ-

We are reliably informed that
the Colorado River Gold Dredg-
ing company has closed deal
with a Colorado dregglng cor
poration whereby a 100000
dredger will be placed on the
placer grounds at the Potholes
within the next four months.
Orders have already been given
for the construction of the ma
Chinery of the dredger and ow-
ing to the enormous proportions
of the machine four months
Will be required to place it on
the grounds, but it is expected
that within five months the
same will be taking out gold.
The machine will have capac-
ity of $500 cubic yards of dirt
per day of twenty-four hours.
Prospects on the ground have
shown the dirt to assay from
surface to bedrock at an aver
age of thlrty-five cents per
yard, and it is claimed that the
dirt can be worked for four and
five cents per yard. If the
dredgers on the Colorado prove
a success it will add wonder
fully to the resources of Yuma
county. Sentinel.

If the people OF Arizona real
ly want statehood they must
make that want known in
Washington. The chairman of
the senate committee on terri
tories openly expresses himself
in favor of the admission of
Arizona. 1t is necessary that
the people show that they are
determined in the matter, and a
delegation Of Arizona's most
progressive and energetic citi-
zens should be sent to Wash
ington to urge the admission of
the territory. y.-Coconino Sun.

The sheep Interests of north
ern Arizona are working day
and night for the revocation of
the order forbidding grazing on
the forest reserves. We cannot
blame them for this because
they are vitality interested.
Other interest are at work
against them, and to US it seems
quite certain that the flock
masters have the short end OF
the string, We occupy ground
about midway between the be-
liefs of the opposing factions
and can see the shells land
from both sides. There is a
medium ground on which the
whole difference could be com
promised were it not for the
fact that each side mistrusts
the other. Were it not for this
the solution of the difficulty
would be easy. Southwestern
