Thi-re has been no mini from the Santa Fo Tor throe days, owing to a big rice in the Iíio Grande, and it may bo that we are to have a repetition of the experi ence of eight to twelve years ago, when we wero similarly inconvenienced for a week ut a time. ANOTHER FIFTY-CUNT DOLLAR. A few days ego the dippatches from New York brought the news thut En glish gold Sovereigns were Belling at 4.95 in Uuited States coin, while their valuo us bullion is only 84. 804:i. In oth er words, gold was at a discount with itself and threatens to give us another so called "fifty cent dollar." HEAP "MESSIAH r The competition for first place in (ho "Messiah" business about Albuquerque has become so sharp of late that the w hole enterprise is iu danger of being ruined. It. will now bo in ordor for the live, religious dnilie3 of that city tho Democrat and tho Citizen to offer froo salvation as a prtinium to new subscrib ers. THAT UNIT. Mneh discussion has grown out of the question aB to whether gold or silver was established the unit of value by the coin ago act of 1792. All agree that the dol lar wns the unit in our money system then engralted into tho coinage of our money, and this unit still remains un changed. There was no gold dollar pro vided for by that coinage act, but there was a silver dollar creatod thereby which represented the only unit of value wo ever had. This has remained the sole and only representative of that unit for more than 100 yeais, except a few gold dollars coined uuder the act of 1819, which never entered really into tho circulating medium of the country, be oauRo thoy were found to be too smull for the value they represented and fell into disuse ulmost as soon as issuod, and their coinage ceased long since. The standaid silver dollar was and is the unit of value, and contains exactly the same amount of silver it did 100 years fi. HOUR'S ADMISSION. Mr. Robwoll O. Horr, the financial edi tor of the New York Tribune, and i champion of the single gold standard cause, iu his debute with tho author of Coin's Financial School," Mr. W. II Harvey, made tho following statement of his position on tho money question : 1 holievo that both gold and silver are tho natural money of the world i that in the lartfi at transactions gold is better adapted to the buti. iichh nttls of the people than ilver that all the smaller hnxiiicaa transactions of the human family for many years hare boon and always should he conducted with silver. This, coming from an advocate of the present gold standard movement, proves what the silver party has nil along in sisted upou '. e., that the opposition to the f ice coinuge of silver was in the in terest of the rich money-lender whose transactions involve large sums, while the mouey which represents the poor and is used In the smaller business ex changes was to bo ignored and driven from circulation. EXTREMES MEET. The papers hHve recoutly been full of comment ou the riots in Boston which occuied the Fourth of July between the Cutholio organization, on the one side and the Orange lodges and A. P. As on the other. This is only a recui ronce of what usually hapiK-ns when these bod ies of constitutional enemies meet. would bd difficult to determine which the two Orangemen or Catholics- is the mure intolerant or belligerent (is organ inJ societies. The so-culled American Protective Aesia-iation ia a body of ex tromislH and cranks whose real purpose is to destroy whatsoever it opposed thviroun religious belief, but who pro tend a solicitude for the publio si'Ikk system, w liich they claim is endangered by the attitude of the Catholic: church toward it. Tue last census hhotin that only about IU per cent of tho population of tho United States are Catholics, and even if they weie ull opposed to tho common school, it would require some' lung more than the nuked eye to diHcero how that syatem is in imiif nent danger from this cIiihh of our citizens. If the nino per sons in f nvor of common schools are in (lunger from Ihe invasions of the other one, poHhilily it might lie well enough to let that one hold I lie ruins. The specta cle preselitrd of lime ulile bodied Amer iciiiih trembling from fear of one Calim ba ih ludicrous us Well as disgusting. And yet, this is just the position of tho American ProU'etives. ihe common, school system pun take rare of itself, de riving its support and protection from Ihe great Isxiy and heart of intelligent American citizenship, Hint not Iroin the cowardly assassins oompri-ing this "pro lectiva'' association. 1 tinr parado in liiistun was for the purpns of inviting riot. I tint they might make capital there from, and the "little red school house' ibsphiy wns a piece of clap trap and tiatti) s iitiiurut. " VL TIMA TE R E DEMP TION." The term which beads this article is one frequently and glibly used by writers on nuauciai topics, tno real meaning 01 which a majority of them have little conception. They are apt to assume that gold coin is tho ultimatum of payrueut. This is true only because that gold coin can again be paid out by the holder for porno commodity ho may desire to pur chase. It would be of no more value to Ihe posi ossor than tho pebbles at his feet were it not for the law which creates and recognizee it as the mousure of the rela tive values of the things which men need or desire in sustaining lifeor adding to their pleasure. If this proposition is true, thóu gold which has been used in tho redemption of obligations is itself, in turn, redeemed in articles of commerce between mon, and this process is kept in motion indefinitely, loaving no point or condition in the financial and business affairs of tho world where there can be said to bo a final or ultimate redemp tion. Whenever it is conceded that such a condition as final or ultimate redemp tion or paymont exists a condition where nothing else is to be or can be done to make the transaction complete and absolutely at an end a point has been reached where the commerceof the world ceases and terminates, and there is nothing more to be done but to con sumo your gold iu an attempt to subsist upon it. If this gold coin is redeemable in bread aud meat, iu clothing and the other comforts of lifo, then the commerce of the world is kept in motion, and although a fine-spun theory of ''money of ulti mate redemption" is destroyed, it must be admitted that trade and commerce- human existouco even are maintained only by the destruction of that thoory aud upon the contra thoory that gold eoin or any other form of so-called money of ultimate, redemption is itself redeem aide, aud, therefore, that there is no such thing as "ultimate redomptiou." There is some hope for El Paso yet, if she survives the present flood. The gamblors have boon ordered to "move on," and thoy soem to be moving. This is a step iu tho right diio.ition. The pro fessional gambler never helped to build up a community, nor added anything to its wealth. It cannot fairly be said that the St. Louis Republic is straddle of the feuce on the silver question, nor yet first on o io side and then on the other. It is apparently trying to crawl through and has got part way aud unable to go on or c mie back, It is scarcely anything and hardly nothing on this great absoibing issue. What we need just now in this region is, not Irrigation, but a system of drain ago which shall provent the streams from washing the other portions of tho coun try away. The attention of the coming irrigation congress, to be hold in Albu querque soon, is called to this subject. The Kio Graude valley is in danger from too much irrigation. In vnwof tho bellicose propensities of the A. P. AV, would it not please the alliterative tendency so prevalent now iu sociuty cognomens to re christen the society the "American Aggressive Asso ciation?" It would be more correct, if less euphemistic, than American Protec tive Association, tor, judging by recent events, the latter title isa misnomer. Real estate in El Paso must be cheap. The dispatchos state that tweh's square mil us of that city was under water - damage, 915,000, er about t. an acre. This also includes a block ade of trafile over tho Southorn Pacific railroad for more than twenty (our hours. Better scrape the moas off and get a move oo down there, or the town wont be woith Hooding by next year. The Santa Fe railroad is reportod washed away on both sides of Han An tonio, nnd no mail was received here from the nast on Tuesday nnd Wednesday mornings. If tho locators of that road hud been wise and built by way of White Oaks to HI Paso, instead of along the Rio ( ramie, it would have not only pro cured a much larger traffic, saved a good many miles in distance, but avoidod the detitructive washouts which yearly occur and the delays iu running trains over the route. An exchange says an editor was writ uiff up a local theatrical entertainment, nnd wanted tube particularly nice about It, so ho mentioned the names of several ruling ladies and wrote, "they all tilled I heir iiarta to perfection." Then he went home to iirny fur fnrcivenesn for Him lies he had told. The printers went on with their diabolical conspiracy to diive all editors insane, and when Ihe paper appeared and whs delivero I to its patrons it whs found they Imd put an 'n' in place of an "r" in tlio word "parts." Tim girls hII have big brotlieis and Ihe editor is hiding in a swhiup that is full of ravenous animals and poinonous ser pent SAXD STONE. The Eaole has heretofore briefly re ferred to the building stone of tine vicin ity, but for want of space could Dot ex tend n description of this feature of our numerous natural repources. The lodges of sand stone extend from a point within a few yards of the town to the base of Patos mountain, or throe miles ,or more. They have b-en opened near town and the various demands of tho community have been supplied therefrom. These oponings disclose stone from six inches to four feet in thickness, of beautiful building material which can bo taken out of the quarries in almost any length and width desired. On the north side of White Oaks Canon is found a very light colored stone of which some of our finest buildings are constructed and on the south side is a quarry of a much darker shade which inclines to a bluish tint. About six miles to the north is another deposit of sandstone of a dark brown which was visited by a representative of the Eagle last week. This ledge has not yet been opened, excopt to secure a few blocks for special work, because of the difficulty in hauling it out, there being no traveled road near it. It has, when dressed, a reddish tint, is exceedingly firm andlose-grained, but easily worked and taking a polish almost equal to mar ble. Tho ledges are very extensive and whon reached by a niilioad this Btone would meet an unlimited demand, bo cause of its beauty, finish and strength aud the cheapness with which it can be procured. Tho stono from all of these ledges can be ohoaply quarried, is easily worked and will bear any reasonablo pressure it may bo subjected to. BANKS AND PAPER. In tho Washingtou Pod we find theso remarks: The Philadelphia Time oalls atten tion to the complaint that vory many parts of tho country are without tho banking facilities that they noed. It shows that the whole number of banks is less than it was throo years ago, and less than it wus Inst year, aud says their circulation has coasod to perform the functions expected of it.1 The Times concludes that 'there is thorefore an ab solute necessity to modify the national banking laws, unless wo aro to surrender all the many advautugos of bauks of issue and depend entirely upon our pres ent irrational and dangerous issuos of government paper.' "This is a live issuo and ono in which there are great possibilities. It will prove a hundred times more exciting than tariff schedules," Now, thia is interesting. Tho Phila delphia Times, owing to its connections, is one of the most rampant opponents of the restoration of silver to be found in the country, and yet it perceives that the money question possesses a vitality that will not permit the matter to be disposed of until some adequate remedy for the present conditiou of affairs can bo found and applied. Tho Time admits that something is wrong. The national banks are retiring from business and those that retain their names and carry on banking have large ly withdrawn their notes from circula tion. Excopt aa to the specific purpose for which it was intended at the time of its establishment tho supplying of a market for government bonds the na tional banking system bus proven itself tobo a stupendous furco. It has out lived its usefulness except for tho ono singlo aud single function of lending money and shaving or discounting notes; for not only la the circulation of the banks decreasing, but they no longer furnish a market for Uuited States bouds. This is shown by tho fact that when Mr. Clevland wanted to muke his last issue of bouds ho was compelled to pay a British syndicate a bonus or pre uiium of nino or ten million dollars for sixty-five millions in gold. Moro than this, aud leaving tho n tional bauks nut of view, the decreaso iu the total volume of circulation last year, according to tho treasury reports, is about 900,000,000 and this does not Include the largo amount of gold ex ported which has not returned aud shows no sign of returning. Tho facts are that in every part of this country where wealth is producod, there has buen and is now a currency famiue. Only In tho money centors, whero the products of labor nro made the play things of speculation, is there a sufficient supply or money on which to do busi ness, and in these centeis tho money is held and hoaidtul. Thero is but ono remedy and that is to increase the volume of money i.f final payment by restoring to it our stock of silver. When that is done our hanking vslem may be revised and enr reeled st leisure, but until that is done it n idle to talk about making further addition of paper money to the volume we a ready have on hand. The Philadelphia Times is a rank gold bug organ, but Editor McClure seems to have discovered that there is something tie. id up tho creek. Atlanta Voustttu f ion.
