The partisan newspapers and the par tisans on the rostrums are telling the people of the mistakes of their opponent^ and what they will do if but given the chance. But not one of them, so far as we can see, is even promising anything which, could the promises be ful filled, would cure the unrest and depression that is upon thecoun try; nothing that promises to exalt the character of the people and make them more patient, more hopeful, more patriotic. The first essential is to get the idle people of the country who want to w r ork, employment. It may be said it is not the province of a government to make places for idle men to work in. That is true, but it is the province of governments to remove the ob stacles from the paths of the peo ple that prevent their being able to obtain employment while those obstacles remain. Those obstacles are in the way in this city and every other city of the Republic; they are in the way in the country everywhere. The cause is that we have no national financial system. The present system, if such it may be called, was framed for the inter est gatherers in the stress of a great war. It is now forty-five years since the last gun of that war was fired, since the last bat tle flag was furled, but the sys tem remains, and under it the so called great financiers have taken control, aud the people are made subject to .them; for from their throne in New York City they dictate panics at will, and block ; business at every turn. Worse still, they dictate what legislation j shall be passed, what ignored, j And the object is to keep the peo- j ple paying such interest as they | please to establish. It is true! that could the amount of inter-! est # that the people have paid since the war closed, be spread out in figures, it would paralyze the country, or kindle a révolu tion in every state. Shouters tell us that the monopolies must be crushed. Suppose that could be done, what would it be? Why, when the man-with dropsy is tapped he is temporarily relieved, but does that cure the liver or the kidneys or the heart that is diseased? What is needed is anew supply of cheap money. By cheap, we do not mean that it shall not be as good as gold, but that it shall draw, say one and one half per cent interest and be paid, inter est and principal in gold, after a stated number of years. Does some one ask how much of this money we would have issued? We answer, enough to make money a measure of values, which it is not now, enough to make it a sufficient medium of ex change, which at present it fails to be; enough to call home aud liquidate the bonds now abroad and which the money to meet the interest upon them has now | to be sent out of the country, With this done the men who own property would give the laborers who want employment work. The government could extend its! reclamation enterprises; the j states could drain their swamp j lands and convert them into fruitful fields, and with this J money the governmentcould pay j its running expenses and hold I its gold to redeem its bonds and to pay for the 1'anaraa canal without selling to Europe high interest-drawing bonds, on which more gold would have to be sent away to meet interest for a term of years and then the principal. It could, too, in a single year construct a fleet of battleships, cruisers, submarines and torpedo ' boats, to so sufficiently guard our west coast that Japan would stop her insolence and covert threats and at the same time it would so enhance the industries and the property values and revenues of the country that it would be easy to redeem this money as it came due. r Murphy, Silver City, Dewey and DeLamar STAGE LINES SPThe best facilities for transportation between the railway ter minus to and from Silver City, DeLamar, or other points in Owyhee.

Stables at Silver City and Murphy Further we would have the government appeal to Great Britain, France, Germany, Mex ico and the South American states to join with our country in a conference to see if on some sane basis silver could not be re stored as primary money; and failing in that would have our government re-establish it alone so far as our product was con cerned, making arrangements with China to take our surplus, aud restore our lost export trade with the half of the people of the earth, which the vicious and fool legislation of 1873 and 1893, has closed against us. That a coun try like ours that is yielding from farm, orchard, forest, mine and manufacturies a full 2,000 millions of dollars per annum in net profits, should be held under a crushing depression by two score money sharks in New' York City, is a reproach to the sense of justice, the patriotism and the intelligence of our government and people.—Goodwin's Weekly. The Kansas bank deposit guar anty law, the operation of which has been suspended for several months by injunctional proceed ing brought by national and state bankers, again became ef fective on October 4. The U. S. Court of Appeals dissolved the injunction, but the case will be carried to the Supreme Court of the nation. At the time of the | suspension of the act, nearly 400 of the 900 state banks of Kan sas has complied with itsrequire ments.—Ex. j j PATENTS J j I ' promptly obtained in all countries OR NO FEE. ■ TRADE-MARKS and Copyright« registered. ■ Send Sketch.
