fear was disposed of by the decisive
majorities obtained when Mckinley wa.

that Mckinley had swept the countr,
everybody took on fresh hope. and the
panic was tan end.
The Substantial difference to-day. and
one which will make the stringency oi
short duration. is that the frost has
shown ohr Whole business system to bs
remarkably sound at core. There have
been relatively few excrescences grown
up on the Business system. Ogi the
other hand, our currency is remarkably
sound; it is the best in the world
of notes or bills is worth 100 cents or
the dollar, without discrimination be
tween one form of currency and an
other. A man would just as soon hav,
silver note as gold dollar. Finally
and fundamentally. while our crop
have not been so abundant as in SOM
years, they are everywhere above the
average of 10 years. and owing to the
failure or the great diminution of crops
abroad they will each o; them bring
much more money than the bumper
crops of any previous year. The strin-
Sency reveals all this remarkable wealth
and soundness, and in an unmistaka Bile
manner shows that nowhere is there
the slightest reason for n lack of con-
fidence in the future. The people are
realizing this. and going about the af-
fairs of life hopefully and more san
guine than they have felt for months
while everybody saw that storm wa

The French newspaper men are just
as sensational rs those in this country
and with as little regard for what i
likely to be true. They published as 4
fact that the United States was trying
to get gold from the Bank of France
to fill! our war chest for an immediate
war with Japan, and that the japanese
had protested against the admission o!
he Uaited States short-term bonds TO
the Paris Bourse. The absurdity o.
this viii make Americans laugh. Th~
French are measuring the resources of
this country by their own short yard
stick. Before France or any othet Eu-
ropean country can go 10 war it has to
ask permission of the Rothschilds and
other financial magnates. Wheneyer
the United States determines upon war
we will make it with happy indie
pendence of what any foreign banker
may or may not say.

.GN GOD WE TRUST,

1 We are entirely in accord with the
Presidents sentiments as to the re-
moval of the legend 'In God we trust
from our National coins. There has
always seemed something debasing, al
most profane. in putting such motto
on our money. 1t had the SAVIOR of the
Money Changers in the Temple. While
Ievery man should carry his religion into
his daily life and never forget it's prin-
ciples in any exigency, yet there is no
surer way of bringing piety into con-
tempt than to thrust it upon peoples
minds at inopportune times and occa-
sions. Piety is something from the
heart, not merely the facile utterance
of the lips. In the Latin countries we
see with what facility the most sacred
things can be banded about and be-
come as soiled as the foulest things of
the streets. Those unconscionable old
robbers, the Spanish "Conquistadores,'
went about the world with the most
holy terms as constantly on their lips
as the fouiest oaths. with the result
that wherever they went they left a
string of Holy Ghosts" Holy Trini-
ties" Blood of Jesuses," Blood Of
Marys' and similar sacred epithets to
mark the places where they camped or
established stations 1t really dsturbs
the sincerely pious NOrtherner in Mex
leo City to find corners of the streets
named Holy Ghost" Trinity" An
nunciation." etc.
I,
prostitution Of words of the highest
spiritual significance. No one wishes
to read a sermon every time he takes
silver quarter in change, and it can
not help from ineffably cheapening re-
ligiOus instruction to find the bald le-
of handful of silver change-every
plugged quarter, every clipped half
dollar. We see how sacred terms can
be prostituted and lose all their beauty
and elevation by the example of the
Mormons, who put the motto Holiness
to the Lord over the stores in which
they chartered, hasgled, cheated and
swindlea. The legend Holiness to the
Lord" speedily became bitter reproacil
from its ostentatious employment upon
places devoted to the coarse greed OF i
the market place.
There is a place for everything. and |
The place for devout Inscriptions is up
on buildings and objects devoted to |
the worship of God, and those estab- !
lished in the interests of mercy, JUS
tice, morality and education. While |
In God we trust might be appropriate !
for a court room or college. any man
should see that it would be singularly |
out of place upon chamber of com
merce or theater, altho the men and
in the one might be no less rev.
erent than those in the other.
Apart from the prostitution Of sacred
things in putting this legend upon our
coins, there is a sickening pharisaisp1 I
about it's ostentatious parade of piety.
and the less we have Of this in inap-
propriate places, the better it will be
for orr souls health

To Fight Standard Oil.

4 New York dispatch OF tho 2Gth says
that arrangements have been completed
for the organization Of fifty million
dollar American syndicate, according
to announcement published today,
which plans to develop several million
acres OF oil land in Mexico. It's purpose
is to snip the product to Centra! and
South America, also to Europe and
Africa in competition with the STANDARD
Oil company.
The syndicate will taKe over the
Mexican Petroleum Company, which
was organized in California in 1902, and
owns approximately million acres OF
land in the States OF Tamaulipas, Verae
Cruz and San Luis POtosi. More than
Il hundred gusbers and wells are report
ed to be on tho property, with oil Of tho

are used by the forty-eighJ principal
countries OF the worlb. Thus Great
Britain uses the sovereign or pound
sterling, France and six other countries
OF Europe use unit equal to the franc,
and Canada and the United States use
tho dollar.
In value these different units range
from Ia to 49i 33 cents of money Of the
United States. They are represented
in their turn by coins the values Of
which are either multIples or fractional
parts OF the value of their own chief
units, and there are no doubt at least
200 such sufficient coins not one of
which seems to have a value equal to
that OF any commonly known unit Of
weight, as the gram, for example, or
the ounce Of gold, although fort. three
OF these forty-cight countries have ac-
cepted gold as their standard measure
OF values.
This lack OF logical relation Of coins
to my widely used unit OF weight of the
precious metals may be duo to the fact

Such diversity in moneys may have
been of little moment when millions Of
people spent their lives knowing moth
ing Of the existence Of other millions
aid there was little traffic. But these
differences in monetary units are OF
importance now that international
commerce Includes millions OF tons OF
products Of the toll OF all lands and
billions OF dollars each year to settle it's
bills, for such differences put upon
trade wholly unnecessary tax. No

Railroad Reports.

Two railroads have filed reports with
the Nevada railroad commissioners in
compliance With the law, Que OF the
roads being the Virginia IL rruckee and
the second, the Eureka & Pal,sade.
The V. " L. makes a good showing IN
spite OF the heavy drain OF last year ON
account OF much roadway beng wished
out md badly damaged by the high
waters. Tho Eureka & Palisade returns
chow small profits and that In. road
justly earns the title Of the poorest
road in the country
According to the report the gross
earning for handling freight on the Y.
L. from June 30, 1906 to June 30, 1907,
were f4 1853 for mail, passenger anG
express service il amounted TO sllS,-
6lO.U2, making u total income OF S295,-
5l6.u for the road during the year.
The operating expenses Amounted to
sle2rt5S.S, leaving net from the
freight and passenger service OF sll3,
1919. The taxes for the road last year
amounted to sIi,I97.35 and this de 1uc,-
sd would leave COS, $50 30.
Owing To- the high waters wishing
out the Miuden extension and consid-
cradle Of the nam line Of the road last
year the cost OF construction and equip
ment was considerably higher than
usual, it toiHliug sGO, ,55l.Si.
in spite OF the heavy expense result
ing from the food damage the road
declared a dividend Of $4,000, or per
cent on it, capital stock ~ 1000, ,O0C.
lLO amount partly came from the sur
plus funds Of the company. The roads
consist Of 7.48 miles OF track.
Tho Eureka & Palisade report docs
not look so well; in fact the report show
the road sort OF doing business for the
glory Of the cause. The principal at
traction about the report is the state
ment that last year the road paid the
munihcent sum Of 1880 on account OF
injuries TO passengers ON the road. The
report shows that tho gross earnings
were Sll2, 2,700.Gi and the totul operating
expenses sl03,4 Al, leaving net
income OF a., ,2s5 ~; the taxes amounted
si,206.s3 and last year the company
bought an engine cost.n S3,l43.l0 30
that the net income after the deduction
Of taIes and new equipment amounted
TO a, $3.50. The road If ~ miles long
and extends from Eureka to Palisado.
the principal business Of the line is
hauling ore from Eureka and the rate is
81 the ton; under the maximum rates OF
the Syphus bill the rate would be only
1888 the ton and i: no error has been
made in tie report OF the railroad com-
pany the enforcing OF such rutes would
mean tho taking away Of all income and
deficit. Lust year the road haulcd
something over 10000 tons OF ore and II

Rockefeller And Republicans.

There is persistent rumur in Wash.
Ington that the Rockefeller banks have

treasury that the government bonds
that mature next year arc to be refund.
ed. The Washington correspondent OF
the Chicago Record-Herald gives a
detailed accoun. OF how the Rockefeller
banks are TO profit by this prior informa-
to elucidate. After showing that the
National City oank is advertising to pay
1882 80 for a 81 600 bond, he points
ont that while this sounds like fine
proposition, the National City bank Is
not in the habit nf putting out its
money at less than four per cent year,
and that III paying io31i Tor the 1907
bonds, it really would make a profit OF
only three-quarters OF one per cent il it
held them with the expectation that
they woulj be redeemed at maturity,
nearly year from now. Secretary
Shaw, il is declared, would scarcely
retire the issue in advance OF maturity
and pny premium that would insure a
profit above l03li.
~As to selling :he bonds to small
banks wanting them for the purpose of
securing government deposits, it il
pointed out that to afford the National
City adequate returns on its investment,
coat Of advertising, ETC., said email
banks would have to pay n premium
that wonld make their government
deposits m expensive luxury, iDasmuch
as they would expect to have them
redeemed within less than year at par.
Therefore it is sought to cultivate
tho suspiciOn that the real purpose OF
the philnnthropic National City bank Ia
to gather in s5O,090,000 or more Of the
bonds, knowing they aro to be exchnng.

has done much @; late in advancing the
mining interests OF Elko county and
those who know him find qualification in
his recent good luck. Delmas was one
