THE OMAHA DAILY SOUTH DAKOTA W00S OMAHA. She Eagorly Desires a Union by the Railroad. AN ENTHUSIASTIC REPORT. The Advantage of the Conneotion and How the Country, Orops, Re- cources,People—Improssed Our Men. The Dakota Commtter. Messrs, Joseph Barker, Joseph Garnean, 9r., Alfred Millard and R. S. Berlin occupiea soats on the platform at the meeting of the real estato (xchango, and, as soon as the regular business of the hour had been dis- posed of, President Hartman called upon them as the committes to tho railroad con- vention at Miteh for a report. Mr. Joseph Barker, who had been selected as chairman of the committes, submitted a written report which was of great int tho large attendance. After a brief d tion of the trip to Mitchell, where tho con- vention was held on last Tuesday evening, the report wns as follows: “Among the delegates at the convention farmers, some of whom bad driven er fifty miles in lumber wagons to tind out “huL their neighbors could do to secure an outlet for their stock and grain, Both at Yankton and at Mitchell your committee were most_enthusiastically received, every attention was paid them and they 0 driven over the country and speciai features of each locality were pointed out and de- scribed. *“Thie convention was attended by over 200 paoble most of whom were delegates, object of the meeting Was to imp the Omaha delegation the earnest d RECUTC i rul\rlm‘i to Omaha and to satisfy us that they would do all possible for the towns and counties they represented to further and wd the enterprise both by work and money. They told us they knew the value of Omaha as u market for their stock and were determined if Omaha would start the work to do all that Omaha could reasonably de- mand to aid it. We are assured that every owner would give the right of way, that the farmors would give the work of themsel and the teams to build the road w the townships would give the company build ing the road all the bonds their state consti- tution would allow them to give. “Your committee would report that they never before met a community 8o united and 80 enthusiastic. We were impressed that they meant every promise they made and that they looked upon o railway to Omaha us of vital importauce to them, ““There was ooly one voint on which they did not agree und that was the location of ;.ihu line from Yankton to the wterior of Da- ota, “Yankton expressed her preference for a railway ranning parallel to the Missouri and some twenty miles away from that river. Mitchell and Forest City wanted the road through Mitchell and direct to Forest Ciy, while the north desired it to run up the James river to Huron and beyond. Each locality presented special reasons and the advantages of their various localities, but all localities agreed on Yankton as the first place in Dakota, from which the road should start. For ourselves, judging from what we saw and beard, cach and all of the routes are good and each had some special attrac- tion. We found the country we passed over well and generally settled. The soil is ood, well watered and flatter than that of vebraska. Artesian wells are to be found all along the valley of the Jim river. ‘The soil produces lnriw crops of wheat and cther grain while it is oue of the best states for cattle, hogs and sheep. *'Mitcheil is a good sample of the wide- awake Dakota towns. It is built chiefly of brick #nd stone found in large quarries slong the Jim river. It has three or four good banks and anumber of good stores \vall stocked with goods aad evidently doing large business. It hus two railways an: n vopulation of 2,500 people. “The city of Yankton is a very attractive one, solid ana well built, surrounded by the most pleasing country we have seen outside of Nebraska. The delegation who met and entertuined us there were wide-awake, intel- ligent business men, that any city might be proud of, and they fully understand their own interests and the value to Yaokton and Dakota of a road to Omaba and its market. ‘We found them as willing to do all they can to secure the road as any other vart of the state, and if it were possible more earnest. “The statistics of the " trade of Dakota which at present goes to Sioux City, and whigh amounts to fully two-thirds of all the produce of hogs and cattle of the state, was sufficiently startling to cause your committee to strongly recommend Omaba t> lose no time in striving to securo this growing trade, Not ouly 18 it necessary to have a road to Yankton to secure the trade of Dakota, but ‘we found a very large trade in northern Ne- Dbraska is lost to Omaha and is now secured to Sioux City for want of this Yaukton road. The number of hogs alone received at Sioux Jity this season i3 already a serious subject for the consideration of our packers in South Omaha. “Muny other startling facts were brought to our notice by the business men of Mitchell and Yankton which will nov allow us to enter upon. Sufice it to report to you that we have re- turned to say that we are profoundly im- pressed with the importance to Omaha of a railway to Yankton and Dakota. So im- portant do we consider this road to Omaha hat we believe it would be suicidal to neg- lect this unanimous and hearty invitation which is now made by Dakota to Omaha to come into their state and secure their friend- ship and their trade.” The report was received with a burst of applause, and Mr. Barker was asked to speak further of his impressions, He said he was llmsly astonished at what he saw in Dakota, and was especially impressed with the enrnestuess nonlmllme mot w the people the question of w0 “But,” said lw," Omfihn has_rivals in Dakofa. Sioux City, St. Paul and Minueapolis are bidding for the Dakota trade and they are no mean " competitors, There are three ways to get a road to Dakota. One. of them is to get the Chicago & Northwestern to close up the gap Dbetween Hartington and Yankton; another * 18 to induge the Missouri Pacific to build the - line; and the third and best plan is to build Bo indej )undent road trom Omaha." r. Alfred Millard reiteratea Mr. Bar- - ker's -uwmnu and called especial atte: tion to the immense stock trade that Omaha was losing because there was no ralway connection with Dakota, Mr. Garneau spoke of the value that a rond to Dakota would be to the commercial interests of Omaba, The merchants at the Dakotus wanted to buy their goods in Omaba, but were effectually barred out by the present system of railways, Mr. Borlin spoke briefly of the feelng in Dakots for un Omaba road and urged the exchange Lo go on with the work, and have Dig ussurances of a substantial character to ®ive the Dakota people when they visit Omaha next month, At toduy’s meeting of the exchange an hour will be devo! to the discussion of wropositions that have been received from two manufacturing establishments that ‘want to locate in Omaha. the For Omaha, Present and Future, The following circular has been sent to every business man in the city: Dear Sir: We want you to attend a special meeting of the Omoha real estate exchange on Saturday next at 11 o'clock.

A Student of the Subject Corrects Popular Lrrors. Dec. 19.--To the Editor of :p.—Bi-metallism is a subject in whieh I am greatly interested, although [ was unable to attend the recent silver con- vention in St. Louis, to which I was an accredited delegate. Iwish to correct some details although I entirely agree with the opinion that bi- metallism is impossible except by the con- currence ana co-operation of the great com- mercial nations, If this fact were only recognized and ad- mitted, much of our national difficulty in dealing with the silver question would be obviated, Unfortunately the contrary is upheld by the large majority of our pohti- cians, especially in the w and the theory that we can ‘“go it alone’ has also some advocates 1n the east. My present purpose, however, 18 merely to call attention to scme of the errors in con- nection with the subject. 1. The standard silver dollar is full legal tender, upon @ par with gold, although its wnrinsic value is fluctuating and it is seldom worth more than eighty cents. It is, there- fore, a mistake o say that as a logal tender, silver in the United States is only good 1 amounts of $10. 2. Nothing was done in 1873 to demonetize silver further than 1t had already been de- monetized. At that date no silver dollars had been comed for several decades of years—in fact the entire num- ber coined since the foundation of the government was an insignificant amount. The reason for thisis a curious one, considered with the present situation. The rates adopted of 16 to 1 was too high, the French standard of 15 to 1 being then much neaver the correct tgures, and the conseauence was that the few dollars which had been coined at @ more favorable period wete worth a premium, and were exported, leaving practically none in circulation. The revised coin act became a law in this year, and the silver dollar was left out as an en- tirely useless appendage, but subsidiary coin of the vresent standard—which was not worth par then—was included, and was and remained legal tender in the sums named. There was no trick nor unfair dealing about the matter — the circumstances cloarly explain the omission — but the silver agitators persist in the assertion for popular clamor, no matter how positively it 1s disproved. If the proceedings and do- bates in congress, both in 1873 and at the provious session, were carefully read when this coinage act was under discussion, I do not believe any one would ever again feel disposed to repeat this stale charge. 3. The present lawful ratio of sixteen to one is fully met in tho standard dollar. If iv contained 480 grains, as suggested, the ratio, instead of being sixteen to one, would be about nineteen to one, and so much nearer an honest dollar. It does not contain 412'¢ grains of pure silver, as stated. but so much standard or alloyed silver, the pure silver being 87114 grains; while the gold dollar contains 23 92-100 grains of pure gold. In view of the present situation of the silver business, [ can’t see how the s tion of an additional issue to the 15,000,000 would help matters, actual value of the coin was raised as pro- posed. The total of silver coined to Novem- er 1, 1859, is about $343,000,000, bat of these many millions only about $60,000.000 are in actual circulation, although the government, 1o egeourage their use will deliver them to all parts of the country free of expross charges, The remainder are stored in govern- meut warehouses und the warebouse receipts therefore circulate as money just as do logal tender notes or national bank notes. Iv is stated that the proposed plan of increased coinage is similar to that_proposed in bucromrv ‘Windom’s re- port. Secretary Windom's i)lun is, however, onurely different. He would coin no more dollars, but instead thereof would issue cer- tificates based upon the market value of the silver du[\:m The plan, however, is shown to lmprnclmlblo o8 well as of du- bius legality, The ouly suggestion of this character which I think possesses real merit is the plan first proposed by Hon. C, N. Jor- dau, late treasurer of the Umited States, Which was to suthorize the iasue of National bank notes upon a deposit of silver. It would be expecting too much from a republi- can congress and administration to believe they would be willing to adopt a suggestion coming from a democratic administration— even if it could be shown to be both effective and legal—so 1 am inclined to think we shall continue to flounder upor®this question until tlho great rectifier—ime—sottles the mattor tor us in weal or woe, as the case may be.
