The Central Nevadan. [volume] (Battle Mountain, Nev.) 1885-1907, 1904-08-25

The State of Nevada will be one
of the fighting stations of this
campaign, and probably the three
electoral votes Of that state will
cost more than any other three in
the United States. There has al
ways been a sufficiently large cor
ruptible vote in Nevada to make a
balance of power, the total vote
being SO small, and when cast
solidly decides the election. Both
parties will be after this vote this
year, for there probably will not
be to exceed $4,000 votes cast al
together in the state. To begin
with the Democrats have the adj
vantage. They have the Govern
OF and other state officers. They
were elected by the combined
Democratic and Silver parties, but
the Silver party four years ago
was mostly composed of old Re-
publicans and now that the Democ-
racy have repudiated silver, there
is no possible reason why they
should longer affiliate with their
allies of four years ago. The cam
paign this year ought to pay the
natural CRATER better in Nevada
than in any other state.-Good-

except one was occupied by two
people. This seat bad as occupants
a young sport and a large, shaggy
dog. The Irishman stood by the
seat expecting that room would be
made for him. The young man
did not take the hint, but regard
ed the other, who was poorly dress
ed, with ill-disguised scorn. AT
last the Irishman remarked
"That's a fne-looking dog We have
with We. What breed is it?" "It's
a cross between a skunk and an

Great things appear to be await

mining districts of Tonopah and
Goldfeld are not only rich, but the
permanency of the ffst-named has
been sufficiently established to
warrant the construction and OPP

Irrigation's Part in Civilization.
In some parts of the country politi-
clans have stated TO the people that the
question of irrigation is comparatively
new. This statement is wholly untrue.
Irrigation is as old as the human race.
Agriculture is the most ancient art Of
which we have any record. 1t was the
beginning of civilization. The first agri-
culture was accomplished through irrign-
tion. 1t was commenced. according to
scientists who have sought the records
of primitive man, under conditions of
great aridity, and the civilized cities of
the ancients were either on the edge of,
or in. the desert. The earliest civiliZa-
tion of America has indelibly stamped
its impress on Arizona and New Mexi-
CO, where to-day are to be found the
remains of the cities and great irrigation
works which flourished thousands of
years before Columbus discovered Amer
lea. Almost all the ancient civilizations
which history records We're based upon
irrigation. and irrigation is to-day prac-
ticed by more than half the people in the
world. Under the workings of the Ma
tional Irrigation Act it is estimated that
what is now the arid West can be made
to support sOOOO.O0O of people.

DEMOCRATS WITH THE TRUSTS.
The Showing Made When Vote Was
Taken in the House.

The present laws which place whole
some restrictions on the trusts were put
on the statutes by the Republican party
and not by the Democratic party. Loud
ly as the Democrats have always talked
against the trusts, and seriously as they
have from time to time awakened appre-
hension in all business circles by their
threats that they would destroy all large
corporations whether good or bad. yet
never once have the Democrats accom-
plished or even aided in the accomplish
ment of any salutary effort to control
the trusts along lines of public safety.
The rulings of the Supreme Court hav-
ing shown that as the constitution now
stands, Congress can only regulate trusts
engaged in interstate commerce, the fol-
lowing amendment was introduced in
the House of Representa- tivcs and press
ed to n vote on June l, 1900:
Section ]. All powers conferred by this
article shall extend to the several States,
the territories, the District of Columbia,
and all territory under the sovereignty and
subject to the Jurisdiction of the United
States.
Section Q. Congress shall have power
to define, regulate. control prohibit. or dis
solve trusts, monopolies combinations.
whether existing in the form of combina-
tion or otherwise. The several States may
continue to exercise such power In any maIi-
ner not In conflict with the laws of the
United States
Section 3. Congress shall have power to
enforce the provisions OF this article by
appropriate legislation.
The clause saving all rights of States
was inserted in the hope of inducing
StateriChts Democrats to support the
amendment. Nevertheless. the vote stood
14S Republicans for and 130 Democrats
against. and the measure failed of the
necessary two-thirds majority.
LOUDLY AS THE DEMOCRATS
TALKED. WHEN IT CAME TO A
VOTE THEY WE'RE FOR THE
TRUSTS, NOT AGAINST THEM.

FACTS ABOUT THE COINAGE.
Director of the Mint Gives Informal
tion as to Old and New Issues,

tion as to Old and New Issues.
The director of the mint is called
on to answer such wide range or
questions concerning the values of
old and new coins and medals that
he has found it necessary to issue
circulars covering matters of this
sort. II tells some interesting facts.
1t appears that the mint does not buy
old coins or paper money except some
rare colonial coins in fine condition,
which are desired for the mint cabi-
net.
Mutilated or uncurrent United
States gold and silver coin is pur-
chased as bullion. The mint has no
PATTERN pieces for sale. The govern
ment pays no premium for the returL
uf any OF its coins or paper money.
New coins cannot be struck until au-
thorized by an act of congress. The
mint supplies United States coins on
ly and not of any past date. The $50
gold piece and the half-dollar and
quarter-dollar pieces in gold were
struck by private parties on the Cali
gornia coast during the 1S49 period
and not by the United States gov
ernment.
The coinage of the following coins
ceased in the years named: Half and
l-cent. copper. in 1857; 1-cent, nickel,
1864; half-dime and 3 cents, silver,
and cents bronze, in 1873; 20 cents,
silver, 1878; trade dollars, 1883; 81
and So, gold. and cents, nickel, 1889.
The Columbian halfdollar was coined
in 1898. The Lafayette dollar was
struck in 1899. the Gate on the coin
$4,000 being that of the unveiling of
the memorial.
There are certain markings on ev-
cry United States coin that enable
the place of its coinage to be located.
Those struck at the Philadelphia mint
have no mint mark. but those struck
at all other mints are distinguished by
a small letter on the reverse, near the
bottom. These letters are: C for
Charlotte, n. c. discontinued in 1861;
&C for Carson City, New, discontinued
in 1893; d for Dahlonega. Ca, discon-
tinued in 1861; o for New Orleans
and for San Francisco.
The coins of the United States now
authorized by law are: In gold, dou-
BILE eagle, eagle, half eagle and quar-
ter eagle; in silver, half-dollar, quar-
ter-dollar and dime minor, scent,
nickel and / cent bronze. A person
may buy proof set of gold coins
from the mint for $3.50 and a proof
set of silver and minor coins for
s1.50. When the business of the
mints is slack medals may be struck
from dies furnished by individuals.

K..pre.ident Cleveland, Failur..

Ex-President Cleveland is an unimag-
NATIVE man. and for this, and other good
reasons, his recent magazine article en-
titled why a Young Man Should Vote
the Democratic Ticket" is short. point
less and unconvincing.
1t takes a good deal of fervid fancy,
and a knack for invention, TO construct
an argument upon a theme like that. Mr.
Cleveland was evidently i'll at ease with
his subject. Probably few young men
will read the article. anyway, and no one
will be influenced by it.
The young men Of America live in the
present, and hope for the future. They
do not care TO be even holding post
mortems on dead issues. nor TO spend
their days holding back the wheels OF ac-
ton and progress.
The young men Of the United States
are alive. And they will vote the Repub-
lican ticket this fall.
