What @ Railroad vill do,
On the’ Fourth.of July last ground

The road, ‘although a short one, is

trade, each with an anxious inquiry
for arfew homie. The Delta thinks
this'is only the beginning of a system of railroads that-will eventually.
The. fact
has b2en. demonstrated that valley.
roads in this State can be constructed for from ten to’ twelve thousand
dollars per’ mile. Who can doubt
that-the completion of our railroad
will. not produce similar results
, here? Our soil is capable of pro* ducing anything that can. be grown
any where, and the mineral resources
will not be exhausted for a-century.
The climate will attract ‘settlers, and’
vrosperity must ensue. Another
year will probably verify the predictign. :
‘\ The Contest.
The election contest in the State
of Nevada is raging furiously» The
Post, Chronicle i
The editor of the latter paper Seems
to spike their guns as fast as’ th
can reload. The:reason is, the Enoe fem: le machine.

truth and justice and the principles
of the good old Republican
party; while on the otliér hind, the
other papers espouse the old rotten
rebel cauge, and the clap-trap Independeut;) or in other words, get into
office ish
_by throwing sand into the eyes of
the ignorant masses. The game
“will not win, and we learn from
what we believe to be reliable authority, that the Republican party
will march onto a glorious victory,
as surely as the election takes place.
Stand by yourcolors, Republicans,
and send the. bogus Independents

The Difference.
San Francisco is the general place
of deposit forthe whole State. Whenever any one acquires a fourtune in
the interior they immediately seek
Franciséo fora place of investment,
They have no want of funds there to
level the hills and erect palaces thereon. Fast horses, fast men and fast
women abound. Every one either
‘has coin,or if not is perfectly willing
to get some in the easiest and most
manner, Men must
“have money to keep up appearances,
hence those who are elected to office
have to play to keep even, and asa
rule they do so if the present investigation going on there is a criterion
by which to judge, In this county
it is different. There is not as much
money to steal, and cur officials have
no desire to steal it. Political corruption does not flourish here, and
our county officers do not fear an investigation, but challange adverse
criticism, :

ed, that in order to induce the Superintendent to continue employing
she gave Stephen Barker, the deputy Superintendent, $10
towards the ‘‘buggy fund.’’-’ Stephen explains the matterin yesterday's
Chronicle, and says it is a ‘‘damna_ ble plot” to ruin -his-character, and
that it is done only to get rid of him
because he has hal the manhood to
say his soulis his own. He says he
did.not want to take the money from

little girl. He says the horse worked regularly and woald have done so

Wacgs § 1x Evrore aNb THE UNITED
Srates.—So far during the present
year, the statistics show that imigration to this country has fallen. off
nearly 40 per cert. as eompared with
previous years, and,-indeed, a large
number of emigrants have actually
returned home being unable to find
employment-This being. the case,
and as a reduchion in the price of_labor is now being discussed, the . following tables collected by the National Burear of Statistics, and by
the Massachusetts Labor Barean, .
have an important bearing On the
question. These figures were made
for the year 1872, and are rodgoed ato
our carrency; __
If we take an ordinary f irm laborer .
in Massachusetts,” we findthat his
weekly-wages are $5, with “board-whicb is undoubtedly “eqnivalent to
$10. The-highest wages in England,
paid in Lincofushire, aze $8 17,
without board, iff Kent, $681; in
Devonshire and CornWall, $4 08; in
Ireland, $491, without board; in
France the highest ‘weekly wages,
are$2.96, with board; in Prussia,
$2 84, in Denmark, $1 43; in . Italy
$3 89—all with board.
If we now take the trades, the dif.
ference is even more . remarkable.
We find-that a blac&smith in Massachusetts receives $18' 50 per week;
in England, .$7 90; in* Scotland,
$7 62;in'Germany, $675; in PrusIn: the
book binding business, the wages
are equally remarkable in Massachusetts as compared with England.
A first class finisher gets $26 in
Massachusetts, and $10 89 in Englane, a forwarder egrns $18 here,
against $9 80 in the old country; a
_. female folder is paid $9 in Massachusetts, and $3 81 in England.
Again, in the great trade in Massachusetts Ofhoots and shoes, a first
class upper “etter will .earn $18,
while the European is paid $7 08;
d is’ paid
against $9
in Germany,
$3-38 in Italy.
Our most expensi
are the building . trad and -in
them—wesec the enormous difference of-wagcis bet een the two
linents. A first class moulder 6
bricks earns $2077, with board. in
Massachusetts, and $594, with
board in England. A mason is
worth $24 here, against $10 17 in
England, $9 53-in Scotland, $4 50 in
Prussia, and $3 21 in Italy. A
bricklayer is paid $24 here, against
$10 17 in England, and $597 in
Germany. A plasterer commands
$24 in-America, while his ,wages in
Europe vary from $6 08 in Italy to
$17 10 in Prussia, A carpenter earns
$17 in Massachusetts, while in England he would earn $18 17, in Scotland $7 62, in Germany $9 25, in
Switzerland $8.10. Plumbers earn
the comparutively low wages in
Massachusetts of $10; in England
they are paid $6 78, in Germany
$4 86. In the business of slating
houses, the wages here are $18, to
about $8 in Europe, In painting
they are $17, to about $10 in Wipes
land, and about $12 in Germany.trades here

Nut-Beanine trees do finely here
in the foot-hills, and we wonder
more attention has not been devoted
in this direction. Papers down the
ecast and in Southern California
have for years made a great point
of ‘boasting of . the adaptability of
nut growing. We eannot see wherein any part of California has advantage over this, either in quantity or
quality of almonds produced.
About the English walnut we are
not posted, but in our own yard here
we have two almond trees which
have borne this year about fifty
pounds each, They are the first
trees to bloed: in the spring and
will grow and do wellin any situation adapted to the peach. At fifty
pounds to the tree and 200 trees to
