One Of the effects Of our recent Gen.
tennial burrah is the contrast afforded
us on the action Of the parties Of to-day
and the hopes and desires that actuated
the efforts OF tho parties heretofore.
How are the mighty fallen. When the
Republican party came into existence,
and seized power twenty years ago. it
sent TO the front such men as Lincoln,
Seward. Sumner and others. bad for its
platform a declaration of universal free
dom. the preservation Of the Union and
much that was worthy coupled with
great amount of puritanical bosh. To-
day it goes in with-what? Hayes and
Wheeler and an earnest desire TO pertu-
ate reign OF rascality. What dwindling.
The principle OF repubicanism has in
the hearts Of nineteen twentieths of its
leaders, descended to desire for the
wherswish to fill hungry stomachs at
public expense. 'Great enthusiasm"
for Hayes; ''tho party rallying to his
support" Hayes in this case represent
ing bread and butter. Expectation on
tip-toe aud chops watering for prospect

their lives to advance and secure the I'M

MINING STATISTICS. During. the past
quarter OF century the development OF
our mining interests has been among
the wonders of the country. The fol-
lowing general facts arc pertinent to the
subject. The first pig iron made from
American ore was smelt,d in England in
1893. In 1902 the first furnace was
built at Pembroke. Mass. The total ex-
port OF iron in l7l7 was three tons; in
l7Il 1t had increased to 1926 tons.
The production Of coal in the year 1874,
in Great Britain amounted to AGA of
the whole product Of the world; in the
United States. 1874. In the same year
the production Of iron in Great Britain
was 40 2. and in the United States 1871
OF the whole product. This shows that
the production of coal and iron in any
country generally bears the same rela.
ton to each other. The leading facts is
the mining history of the country may
be enumerated as follows: First, the
erection in Centre square, Philadelphia Of
the first steam engine ever built in
America. In hundred years steam has
transformed the face of the earth.
Second. gold mining in the South in the
early part of the century. Third, the
opening of the anthracite coal fields and
the use OF anthracite in blast furnaces.
Fourth, the use of raw bituminous coal
in the blast furnace. Fifth, the develop.
ment OF the copper mines in Lake Su.
per'or. Sixth, the discovery of gold in
California in lS48. or rather its redis.
covery. Seventh, the commencement of
quicksilver mining in 1851. Eighth, the
introduction Of the Bessemer steel pro.
cess. Ninth. the commencement of
hydraulic gold mining. Tenth. the
commencement Of iron mining in the
Lake Superior region; and eleventh, the
discovery Of silver in the Comstook lode,
which opened an era Of speculation
which has hardly ceased since that
time.
