sve seasons of drought have rendered exceedingly
dry and unless change for the better occurs cat
tlemen and sheepmen will desert the country. Nu-
merous small areas were once proftaby faImed but
in recent years the lack of rainfall has caused a
marked decline in agriculture. Grazing, the main
industry of this and adjacent regions, has also suf
fered greatly from continued droughts. The only
remaining areas which are used solely for cattle
range are on Blue and Salt river and Eagle creek.
The best growths of wild forage grasses are nearly
always found at some distance from water, and are
consequently not available for stock which are I'M
able to make the trip from water to pasture.
The Verde slope, in the Beaver Greek watershed
is an example of repeated overstocking. This dis
trict was formerly source of great wealth to set
tiers in that vicinity but the excessive number of
cattle and horses grazed in it has finally resulted in
the complete annihilation of the pasture. Unless
stringent rules are adopted to regulate the number
of stock and the areas on which they shall be grazed
on each permit, this condition will sooner or later
prevail throughout the reserve.
Yellow pine is the principal timber tree of the
reserve and the only lumber at present used for man

CREDIT FOR THE GOLD STANDARD.

Minority Leader John Sharp Williams Of Missis-
lsppi made come good points for the republicans in
his speech as temporary chairman Of the demo-
cratic convention at st. Louis, says the Tacoma
Ledger. He criticized the statement in the republ
can platform that the party Of Roosevelt had es-
tablished the gold standard. He went back to the
Ieary days of Ceveland's second administration and
asserted that the repeal Of the purchasing clause
Iof the Sherman law of 1890 was the step by which
the establishment of the gold standard was effected
1T not one of those who thought the legislation
wise, - frankly admitted the democratic leader in
the house, but the gold standard was adopted "by
the logged persistency and indomitable will of
Grover Cleveland, aided by republican legislators
1t is rather amusing that Mr. Williams should at
this day make this claim as if it Injured to the
credit of the democratic party. It is true that at
the time the democrats were in control Of the pres
idency and both houses of congress. Mr.. Bland was
chairman of the coinage committee of the house
Mr.. Bryan was a member from Nebraska. Nothing
in earth but the vigilance Of the republicans and
handful of gold democrats, marshalled by Congress-
man Charles Tracey, the second democratic men,
Der of the coinage committee, who was roundly
abused by his democratic associate and taunted as
cuckoo" for siding with President Cleveland and
the republican majority on the currency question,
prevented the passage by the democratic congress at
that time Of free coinage law In 1896 the DEM
ocratic party formulated its demand for the free
and unlimited coinage of silver at the ratio Of 16I
to l, and in 1900 reiterated the demand
The gold standard was never secure until 1897,
when the republican party returned to full con-
troll of the government. Chairman Williams claim
that the democratic party is entitled to credit for
what was done in 1893 is tantamount to an adj
mission that his party was wrong in 1896 and 1900,
and was only saved from fat under in 1881
by Grover Cleveland and the republican minority
But for them the democratic party in 1893 or in |
1897, had it been allowed to carry out its avowed
purpose would have enacted free silver coinage
law, driven gold out of circulation, and made our
currency standard 53-cent dollar. Mr.. Williams
