Out in Colorado there is a new oity.
A few days ag<o it consisted of three
cabins, but some one discovered some
rich gold veins, snd now several hun
dred people are settled there. Mines
have been opened from which ore baa
been taken which essays from RIO to
•5,000 per ton. With each great
prospects for ths future as this ore
presented, the miners felt thst their
new town ought to have a name. So
they met in convention and unani
mously agreed to call it Dubois, af
ter the young Idaho Senator, and in
racognition of his »valiant fight for
our interests in the United Slates
Senate." This decision was duly
conveyed to the Senator in an officiai
letter asking him to ratify the rot ion
of the camp, snd filled to the brim
with complimentary expressions.
Yesterday Senator Dubois sent his
answer. He wrote to his mining
friends as men of the west write and
speak to one another—direct from the
heart and without any high flown
rhetoric. "I appreciate more thsn
words can express,' 1 he said, "the
compliment which my neighbors, the
hrsve men of Colorado, in your sec
tion, pay roe by naming a new, ac
tive and vigorous town 'Dubois' in
my honor. I am more than amply
repaid for any hard work I did in be
half of silver by such a recognition as
this. My great desire in puhlic life
is to advance the interests of the peo
ple of Idaho, to receive their com
mendation and to enjoy their confi
dence. Next is a wish almost equal
ly strong, to be of service to the
Rocky Mountain region. My own
people have ever exaggerated my ef
forts and have ever been charitable
to my shortcomings. I feel that vou
also overestimate my shortcomings.
The Idaho folks know, and I can as
sure you, thst I am enlisted in our
common cause until the battle is won.
My ambition goes no farther than to
be a Senator from Idaho and to de
serve the good will of the Rocky
Mountain people. Please convey to
the good folks of Dubois my sincere
thanks and appreciation of their kind
ness."
The Moriarty hoys have their low
er tunnel on the Boulder m : ne in 300
feet. They have been doing outside
work for sometime, but after the hol
idays will go to work in the tunnel
again, and expect to reach the chute
hy running 100 feet further. They
had great difficulty in working the
mine in the tunnels above, and final
ly had to give it up. The pressure
was so great as to smash the limbers.
One tunnel 400 feet in length was
re-timbered, and the labor of re-tim
bering was greater than that of run
ning the tunnel in the first place.
The vein simply settled down. The
walls are very smooth, and sftrr the
first slope was run the vein had a
tendency to slide down on to a solid
foundation. The boys are running
their lower tunnel alongside the vein.
They hope to be able to work the
mine on this level without having to
contend against the difficulty here
tofore experienced. The Boulder is
a big, strong ledge and carries good
ore, and with no greater drawbacks
than are ordinarily experienced in
quartz mining, will pay well. The
hoya are industrious and have good
staying qualities, and it is hoped they
will make a grand success.

"What ails the land 7» is tbe que«'
tion on ovary lip. This question it
is tba purpose of this and futur* arti
cles to answer. Tbe answer will not
satisfy all. It may satisfy none. It
will be candid, however, and without
appeal to any unworthy motive.
Tho Peoples' party ia still in its
formative stage. It welcomes discus
■ion. It does not elaim to be infalli
ble. It aims to bring back the gov
ernment to the principles end prac
tice* of the father*. It constantly re
verts to first principles. It believe*
that men are of more vaine than
things; that human rights are more
sacred than vested rights; snd that
in governmental economy the crea
tor of wealth should he at least of as
much coooern as the wealth crested.
So far as human law may of right go,
it demands for all equality of oppor
tunity in the race for life. It there
fore opposes ell discriminations by
law in favor of the few at the expense
of the many. It is the deadly ene
my of every form of monopoly.
Its leading policy is opposed to the
three great monopolies of money,
transportation and land. Its mission
is not to destroy, but to preserve. Its
methods call for peace. Its instru
ment of regeneration is the ballot.
It appeals to the calm reason of the
people.
Tho Republican snd Democratic
parties used to profess and practice
these principles. They have now
largely cessed to profess, and wholly
ceased to practice them.
It is in the above spirit that these
articles will be written, and the ques
tion first discussed will be the monop
oly of the money of the people.
In my published letter to Senator
Stewart, it was shown in brief that
the currency (with free coinage) could
be increased to any desired amount
by collecting the customs in coin and
issuing coin certificates against it.
In addition to the custom duties,
the com reserve could be still further
increased under free coinage of both
metals, by one hundred million per
annum, making three hundred mill
ion in all each year. TU» can be
done hy issuing to the mint depositor
of bullion, a coin certificate of one
dollar for each dollar of bullion de
posited, tbe bullion when coined to
be placed in the treasury, and three
dollars of coin ceilificales additional
issued against it With two hundred
millions of coin derived from customs,
and qne hundred millions from the
mints, a paper issue of four to one
(of coin reserve) would, on a coin ba
sis, admit of au increase of circulat
ing medium of twelve hundred mill
ions the first year. The practical
difficulty would be to determine at
what point to stop the increase, not
to what point suoh increase could be
carried.
In a few years almost the entire
stock of gold and silver in the coun
try could (if desired) be drawn into
the treasury; all outstanding paper
drawn in and canceled, coin certifi
cates substituted therefor, and our
monetary system, consisting of gold
and silver coin and but one kind of
paper money made a legal tender, so
simplified that any one could under
stand it.
Our present no system, the result
of thirty odd years of makeshifts, is a
disgrace to an enlightened nation.
It surrounds the question of money
with mystery, and enables the money
changera to expand to almost any
amount, their interest-bearing cred
its, when in the end this whole fab
ric of credit rests upon gold alone,
instead of resting upon the different
kinds of money authorized bv law.
By this means the money changers
have blinded the people to the man
ner in which they have been robbed
of the fruits of their enterprise and
labor.
We have by law the coinage of
gold unlimited, because gold is scarce ;
silver coinage forbidden, because sil
ver is not scarce; gold certificates
redeemable in gold; silver certificates
redeemable in silver; treasury notes
redeemable in coin; national batik
notes redeemable in greenbacks;
greenbacks redeemable in coin; and
(under the practice of the treasury)
silver ooin redeemable in gold coin.
Such ia our currency, and now thore
ia to be no increase of ita volume ex
cept a remnant of thirteen millions
per apnust in gold, left altar deduct
;
ing what is osed in ths art*.
To secure a national currsooy is
sued by the government alone, end
sufficient in volume to restore tbe
priaet of all tbe products of labor, it
is not necessary to cut loose from
the metallic baa*.
To seen re financial relief, tbe peo
ple need not be driven to an irre
deemable paper currency. Their
fixed habit* of thought end time hon
ored prejudices need not be disturb
ed. It is not intended to argue
whether irredeemable paper or paper
redeemable in coin ia the better cur
rency system. Either system has its
advantages. If the cours« oat lined
above ia pursued, personally the wri
ter he* no special preference between
them. Tbe coin basic is favored
mainly because it is in alignment with
the established thought and fixed
opinion of tbe people. It ia there
fore the more practical and can be
more readily obtained.

Hard times have come upon the
people, and these hard times are not
of their making. They did not create
the conditions that have spread pov
erty and actual starvation throughout
the length end breadth of the land.
These conditions were created by
legislation engineered by the money
beg* of England and America for
their own especial gain and to make
slaves of the people. An extra bur
den, therefore, ought not to be
placed on their shoulders as a penalty
for inability to do that which, in many
instances, cannot be done because of
the creation of hard times by legisla
tion both deliberate, cold-blooded
and damnable. To take away all op
portunities for performing a certain
act and than providing e penalty for
its non-performance, ts an outrage of
the grossest kind. Tax payers who
have been unable to pay their taxes
at the appointed time have a 10 per
cent, penally added. It is true the
power that has created the present
distress is not the same that has added
this penalty. Congress has legislated
the people into a condition of pover
ty, and our own Legislature, weil
knowing that hard times were press
ing heavily upon tbe people, and with
full knowledge of the certainty that
the pressure would become still heavi
er, enacted a law placing a 10 per
cent, penalty on all who, through the
outrageous results of a policy they
had no hand in shaping, were unable
to pay their taxes on a certain date.
The people of Boise county, however,
have not felt the evil to such an ex
tent as have other counties of the
State, but nevertheless the situation
in this county is serious enough. Re
lief ought to be extended, if possible.
W e think the County Commissioners
could, without any violation of law,
remit thia outrageous 10 per cent,
penalty, which is nothing short of le
gal robbery. So long as the State
loses nothing by this action we can
gee no way by which the County
Commissioners could be held respon
sible by the State for such action,
or could be reached by the power of
the State. The only question is,
would they he sustained in such ac
tion by the people of the county? It
is our opinion they would be, and
with a unanimity of sentiment that
would be both strong in praise of such
an act of justice, and be gratified over
the defeat of this penalty provision
of law. If the Commissioners have
the power to render that provision
inoperative, they will, we believe,
exercise it, if satisfied that they will
be sustained by the people. There
was no claim that this 10 per cent
penalty would be needed. Such
claim would be infamous, with the
extra burden placed on the shoul
ders of those already the most heav
ily oppressed financially, and if not
needed, then this 10 per cent, "pen
alty " is highway robbery—and rob
bery of a class that ought to be tbe
last to be robbed, if the State goes
into that kind of business. To rob a
class already heavily oppressed is an
infamy too great to be portrayed even
in the strongest words of tbe English
language, lf an extra tax were re
quired, justice would demand thst it
come from those most able to pay it.'
This principle would be exactly re
versed if tLe law had been framed
for reveue only. But it was not, and
is justified on the ground that the
penalty ia necessary to compel the
payment of taxes—that is, a smuu
ry legal robbery, lf all were able to
pay, then the penalty would work no
injustice. Considering präsent con
ditions this tan per cent penalty is
terri by unjust, and whether n e e ssei
ily so or not, doc* not change the
fact. If this penalty can be remit
ted, that is what ought to be dona.
Tho burden this year ia too heavy,
without being added to.

political principles are, and always

Steven* ia out in s reply to Preo
dent Cleveland's severe strictures up
on him in bis Hawaiian message.
Stevens says: "The President's crit
icism is but a feeble repetition of
Gresham's statement previously pub
lished. President Cleveland's gross
ly untrue and shamefully unjust alle
gation against myself and the naval
commander rests entirely on state
ments of four notoriously corrupt min
isters of the fallen queen, of Wilson,
the queen's favorite, and other thor
oughly discredited testimony. 1 re
peat here what has been amply veri
fied again and again that, neither by
force, or by threat of force, or by any
action of min* was the fall of tbe
monarchy precipitated."
Stevens quotes Chief Justice Judd,
s supporter of the monarchy, in de
nouncing the falsity of the charge
that the queen was driven from the
throne by American force, or threat
of force in any form or manner.
As to the landing of the Boston's
marines, Steven* ssvs he only did
what Miniater Merrill did, acting un
der the order of Cleveland-Bayard,
August 1, 1889, that is, had marine*
landed in anticipation of turbulence
on shore and for preservation of or
der.
Stevens characterizes as absurd,
the President's statement thst tbe
queen and Wilson had at the police
station a sofficient force to sustain
the monarchy. "There never was a
more preposterous assumption than
this assertion of the President that
the queen, on January 17th, had an
ample force to sustain her, and to en
able her to carry on her government.
This studiously maintained assump
tion of the President is based on the
testimony of notoriously corrupt rep
resentatives of the rings that sur
rounded the queen. Thst the Ha
waiian monarchy was overturned by
the United States force was and is
put forth for the sole purpose cf bring
ing discredit on the preceding admin
istration at Washington, snd on the
action of the foreign relations com
mitte* of the United States Senate in
favor of annexation.
Secretary Carlisle wants tba re
sumption act of 1875 amended so as
to authorize him to sell 3 per cent
bonds, not exceeding $200,000,000.
There is no justification whatever for
such a recommendation. If tbe gov
ernment is in need of money, that
need has been deliberately created
by the government itself through the
instrumentality of the money lending
pissa- Que of the money malais,
which has been a money maul since
history began, ha* been IcgWatud
■gainst to give the samiyed rlimse
power to rob the psvntoaieg mm*.

would give citizens of moderate mes»

tbe howling demand, which nos
