Why a Vote of COnfidence7

of republican control.

lican management for the worst
panic for fifty years, according

calamity certainly is that thing.

There was good excuse for the

The Eureka sentinel. [volume] (Eureka, Nev.) 1902-current, 1908-05-18

The indications are that this part of
White Pine County is soon to become
one of the most Noted gold producing
regions in Nevada, if not among the
best in the world.
Observations In and Around Ely
Ely is. of course, the scene of greatest
activity in this part of Nevada. and it
is very doubtful that any other part of
the State is employing more men at the
present time in mining operations and
building. But it certainly does make
the blood of an American boil when he
meets scores of his own countrymen
who cannot get work at fair wages.
while carloads of Greeks are working
for wages on which se~lf-respecting
Americans cannot live. A remedy for
| this condition must be found if Nevada
is to reap any benefit from it's Owl
| wealth.
The author Of the article about Ely
| which appeared in the SENTINEL a few
| weeks ago must have been blindfolded
| or drunk when he made his observations.
for that town certainly has it's full pro-
portion of fine buildings devoted to bust
ness enterprises, and its school building
is as good as the best to be seen any
where. Everything presents the APP
pearance of being substantial and per-
manent, and the town as a whole stands
as a brilliant monument of American
enthusiasm, courage and business en-.
terprise.
The Hospitality of NeUadons
The traveller. while making a trip Of
this kind in Nevada, cannot fail to ap'
preciate the generous whole-souled hos
pitality of the people he meets. The
Scrlptural quotation: "Ye are the Salt
Of the Earth" is felt to be truly ap'
plicable to the majority of them. When
those who make the laws in this State
awaken to the fact hat these people are
the ones who are maintaining Nevada
as a State, and who are to be given
every part of the credit for the develop.
ment and u~pbuilding Of this section OF
the United States as a place suited for
the inhabitancy OF first.c class American
citizens, the system of taxation will be
changed so as to relieve our wi PEG.
pie of a part. at least. Of the gigantic
burden they are bearing. and require
the wealth which is being taken from
Nevada without adequate returns to
pay taxes FROM which tine hooters of the
States natural are now al.
most wholly exempt.

Germany Buying Silver

The most important development OF
"a favorable nature regarding silver is
the decision Of the German govern
ment to resume the coinage of silver on
a scale that will call for 100000 OF.
of silver annually for the next five
years. This will absorb 10 per cent OF
the total amount Of silver that comes
upon The open market and is expected
to have a marked effect upon quota
tons since Germany has not been a
buyer of silver since 1869.
