amined the Gold Bug last week for
the officers and stockholders of the
company. In his report Mr.. Carlson
states that the Development work thus

practical manner and that he IL con
vinced the Gold Bug will become q

part:

after returning to Sumpter,

which results were not far above my
expectations after having previously
examined tho orc with u glass. The
result may DO n little too high for a
general average as to what may be-
expected from the concentrates after
the mill is In operation, but, having
previously made other tests on Gold

and when the mill IL In operation
on this ore. the results will com.
pare most favorably with those
obtained from the older mines of the
Craoke, Creek district.
Mr.. Carlson recommends for the
treatment Of Gold Bug ore. ordinary
stamp crushing, and the use Of
amalgam plates for tho pulp to take
out tho FREQ gold, and vanners for the
concentrates and the cyanide process
for tho tnilings.

Editor Independent: When our
preachers learn that they cannot de-
liver sermons gotten up especially for
the rich, and serve God at the same
time, it is then that they will reach
out and awake the souls and minds
of the nation, place a new song upon
cur lips and lift the common people to
higher plane of life. But just so
long as our preachers cater to those
who pay them the most money, just
that long will the arrogance of wealth
and the contamination of fashionable
society" WELD an influence over the
morals of this country, that will pull
down the hopes of mothers and the
ambitions of fathers, and destroy the
prospects Of sons and blacken the
character Of our daughters.
Fashionable preachers and fashion
able sermons are responsible for a
great deal Of evil influence upon the
minds Of the rich people. Yours for a
plain, simple Gospel, w. M. LAKIN.

ON HANDLING OTHER PERSONS
BELONGINGS

The misquoting and miscrediting of
good verse and prose has become so
common an accomplishment that 1t
now excites but little comment. He
who has turn for literary exactness
is likely to light upon instances of this
distortion any day of the week. The
newspapers and orators are bad
enough; but the best literary publica-
tons are not exempt from the prac-
tice. Richelieu's lexicon of youth"
rarely appears unqualified by bright"
sometimes the brightness is ascribed
TO the dictionary and sometimes to the
youth.
He who borrows for display the
phrases of another should present
them as their creator left Them he
should CLEAN them not through some
Il ird or fourth medium. but from the
authentic works of the author; he
should, in word. compose with his
eve on the book. In no other way will
the living or the dead get their Just
due; for the memory is not to be
tlusted--it plays too fantastic tricks.

(Men frequently hold private or per-
sonal opinions on economic questions

vary from time to time.
Mr.. Bryans campaigns were made
on a platform which regards paper
money as debt of the government, to
be finally redeemed in metal coins OF
gold or silver. I do not regard paper
money as a debt at all. When issued
by government, the first taker Of it
ceives it in exchange for some service
or commodity he has furnished the
government. No debt is created there.
Made legal tender for debts and
taxes at its face, it is desirable form
of property, and the first taker will
have no difficulty in exchanging it for
other commodities or services. When
it finally reaches the government, be-
ing paid in to cancel some folm OF
tax against the payer, it has mad all

money could possibly have.
The abnormal rise in prices men
toned by Mr.. Boyd, confirms the
quantitative theory Of money. The

were very large as compared to the
actual wealth to be exchanged. Pins
were scarce and confederate notes
were plentiful-both those genuine

in the high price of pins and other

could not take the gold metal to any

by A. NJ. Simons (kerr & Co., Chica-
go, 20 pp., cents).
l wish some one would answer my
question. A had 1000 acres of land
which he rents for $4,000. The Henry
George system of taxation is applied
and, say, it is 81 per acre-$1 900. Now,
what Is to prevent A from raising his
rent to $4,000 for the thousand acres
and thus cover the single tax?

were possible to exact $4,000. 1t is
urged that a tax on land values can
not be shifted, but that tax on land

rector believes that this latter state
ment is based upon the assumption OF
