a SOLID Acrc IA sIIrer.

The Rocky Mountain Tourist says:
"One Of the most remarkable mines
in California gulch Is In leads three
feet i'm thickness, the ore from which
yields from 24O to go ounces of sill
yer to the ton, and lies like coal
bank i'm u stratification Of limestone,
dipping about Is degrees. Two
openings have been made at points
600 feet apart, and sufficient ore Is in
sight to make millions Of the "dol-
lars of our daddies." The owners
have gone far enough to know that
there is full acre of the ore in oRe
solid body, and some conception
may be formed of the amazing rich
ness of this discovery by a brief call
culatiOn of its dimension. A cubic
foot weighs 170 pounds, and, as the
ore lies, twelve cubic feet make a
ton. There are 45, $50 square feet i'm
an acre, and the acre Of ore, being
three feet in thickness, makes l30,-
$50 cubic feet, which, with twelve
cubic feet TO the ton, makes 10000
tons, worth $3.50 per ton, or the en-
Ormous value in the aggregate of
81, 200, 900. The Crescent is another
mine worked like a coal bed, the ore
lying horizontally i'm the large room
that has been opened, the roof being
held up by heavy timbers with very
stout caps and tugging poles. The
ore breasts from "a foot to three and
four feet, and occasionally very fine
of horn silver are found"

A REPUBLICAN MANIFESTO,

The following from MIR. Gorham,
Secretary of the United States Sem
ate and member of the National
Republican Executive Committee,
is considered to be official. At any
rate it is exactly in accord with all
the manifestos of the malcontents,
or, as the French would call them,
the intrmasige,ates of the Republican
party:
This administration will only be
regarded as Republican, in my
Judgment, upon the understanding
that the presence of Mr.. Evarts in
the Cabinet is not an Endorsement
of the policy of Andrew Johnson /;
that General Devens was not ap-

OBITUARY OF OLD STANLEY.

1 have never in my life had a
more unpleasant duty to discharge
than the announcement of the death
of "Old Stanley" Mrs. Henry's fa-
nous and faithful buggy horse for
the last thirteen years. He died on
Friday, April II, 1878, in the 25th
year of his age. The task is mel
ancholy one, but it is an absolute
duty which / owe to the character
and memory of the most sensible,
the most fuithful and reliable horse
l have ever known, to announce his
death and commemorate his vir-
tues; and yet / have scarcely the
heart to do it. We miss him every
day, and feel that we have lost a
companion who was really one of
us. He occupied the place in our
affections of a confidential friend,
reliable and trustworthy all the
time, by day and by night. When
hitched to the buggy at the carriage
house, he would bring it to the door
without a driver, and was evidently
proud of his performance; would
carry my wife and grandchildren
all around town, to the church and
elsewhere, in perfect safety and
without an accident. He was not
only remarkable for his intelligence,
but had kind, amiable and gentle
temper, and none of the viciousness
that so often mars the character Of
a good horse. / never knew him to
get mad about anything or to act
the fool. He was evidently ofgentle
blood and was supposed to be de-
scent of old Gray Eagle, the famous
race horse of Kentucky.
He served in the army of the Con-
federate States during the whole
war, and retired from the service
only when the army was disbanded,
after having acted well his part in
forty battles. l buried him quietly
on the evening of the 18th at Eme-
raid Hill not with military honOrs,
for "peace hath its triumphs as well
as war;" but with as sad heart as
1 ever bore to the grave of friend.
1t seems to me / bear his loss with
more philosophy, having performed
that last sad Office faithfully at his
grave. G.. A. HENRY.

INSTRUMENTATION is constantly
conducted have caused a similitude
of thought and action. The result
of this will speedily effect reciprocal
interchange of products and COM
modities, and that people which can
supply another to the best advan-
tage will command appreciation.
AS consequence the United
States will receive universal recog-
milton in all things in which we
strive to excel. Hence the removal
of any distractions on our part, to
the full consummation of this COM
ing assimilation and consolidation,
is demanded by every consideration
of self-interest.
AS we have set the example of
free political institutions and the
recognition of the rights of the peo-
pie, holding up to other nations the
example of free political thought
and action, it is our duty to lead off
in the free interchange of produc-
tions and the removal of those bar
riers which serve only to dwarf
human energy and to keep fettered
in subordinate condition the man
ual power of labor.
1t is but fair, however, that having
grown strong by the bounty of the
Government, and having been the
beneficiarieS of the entire people of
the United States who were taxed
for their profit, / am unwilling to
continue this favor. Whatever may
have justified it originally in order
to establish them permanently as
American industries, cannot be re-
tanned as the lasting policy of the
Government. They should now be
placed upon the same footing with
every other department of product

But while firmly convinced of the
justice and necessity of an abolition
of the protective policy, / do not
propose at this time to make the
The bill reported by
the committee makes but slight
reductions from the existing tariff.
These reductions are made in a way
and in direction that will not affect
existing manufactures. They are
rather intended as an indication
that the special favor which has
been so long extended must sooner
or later be materially modified and
finally be withdrawn altogether.
recognize in consequence of the
present tariff a moral right in the
interests affected for a little longer
of the sustenance so lib
orally dispensed to them. l think
that the advantages which the bill
extends to them very much out
weighs any injury inflicted by a re-
duction of the rates. New principles
are sought to be ingrafted upon the
policy of the Government extending
facilities for the expectation of
manufactures which are
not now enjoyed.

WHOLE NO. 2, ,235.

President by demanding in its plat
| form obedience to the Constitution
and the laws, or by denOuncing TIE
crimes of the Democratic party in
organizing violent resistance to
both. Ifthe fear of Southern claims
is the only objection to Democratic
rule, let those fight against that rule
who can be stirred only by the fear
of having their pockets disturbed.
Ifthe present wholesale edisfranchise-
ment of our party in dozen States
is not worthy of passing comment,
then the party is in dry-rot, and
cumbers the ground. Those who
want sympathy when they are
threatened with robbery will have
to wake up or simulate little SYM
pathy with the survivors of those
who have been murdered and with
the dumb three-quarters of millions
of Republican voters whose enforced
surrender of political rights to muir
derers has produced the peace some
times mistakenly attributed to
President Hayes conciliatiOn pol
icy. Men who get etsentimental over
the murder question, and the total
SubjugatiOn of Southern Republi-
canism, may be foolish and imprac-
tical, but they have votes and must
be conciliated, if only to help defeat
the Southern claims. We must
gain fourteen Northern Congression-
al districts in order to gain one ma
jority in the next House of Repre-
sentatives, and Democratic clerk
makes the roll by which that House
is to organize.
This is nothing but the old pro-
gramme of handing the South over
again to the carpetbaggers with
Federal bayonets to back them.
While we have never dealt leniently
with the blunders of the Democratic
party, we must say that the strategy |
of the Republicans for the last few
months has been imbecile to the |
verge of idiocy. If they had their
eyes half open they would see that |
what the nation is bent upon is bus
mess, and that it has irrevocably
shut down upon these insane issues.
Blindness to this has led them hab-
itually to slight the business of the
nation and forever harp upon these
rotten old issues. The result has
been that the Democratic party has
chosen its own ground on all busi-
ness matters, and when they have
come to vote the Radicals have
been compelled either to follow in
the Democratic wake or be inglori-
ously beaten. One thing is certain,
that the Democrats can stand this
as long as they can. Go on, gentle
men, so long as it shall seem good
to you you can't suit us better.

Jackson Tribune and SUI

The American has been for some
time very ably discussing the inn
portance of developing the trade OF
the United States with Mexico,
South America and the West India
Islands. 1t is a fact disgraceful
alike to our Government and the
enterprise Of our people, that the
rich trade of these near-lying coun-
tries is well nigh mOnopolized by
England, France and other Europe
an powers. Nor can the tide be
changed without national and libe-
raj aid by the Government to Amer
lean enterprise. Steamship lines
must be encouraged and helped, the
tariff must be adjusted to encourage
exchange Of products, and our great
cities, especially of the South sea-
board, must inaugurate broad and
liberal policy of commercial sympa-
thy and effort. We heartily endorse
the main position taken by the
American, and join it in commend
ing the question to Congress.

some1hinrt Ring neIIs For.

The Rev. DIR. Day, in a recent
sermon at Plainfield, n. j., told this
simple story: ain town not far
distant, a few years since, two Chris
tian young men, brothers, were doing
prosperous business, assisting
many noble enterprises, and each
living in beautiful home. A COM
bination of disasters suddenly rem
dered them insolvent. What did
they do? They did not consult the
law to see how much Of their prop
erty might be kept from the credit
ors, but at once surrendered to them
houses, factories, assets, all and
then promised, if possible, the bal
ance should yet be paid in full to
each creditor. Resuming business,
poor in means, but strong in charac-
ter, living in cottages in which their
noble wives did the hOusework, un-
til, by economy and industry, the
last dollar of the old Indebtedness
was paid, with interest. The day
on which this was completed the
bells of the churches were rung in
honor, and the whole town Joined
in the expression of grateful joy-a
triumph of character such as the
bells of any church might well cele-
brate, and any community delight
to honor"

Curious History Of a state.

The territory now known as the
State of Wisconsin was claimed by
France on the ground of discovery
by its missionaries and teachers in
1890, who governed IL until they
ceded il to Great Britain. 10 was
held by the British nation until
1882, when she ceded all her posses
sions Of northeast of the Ohio TO the
United States. Wisconsin was then
thrown under the territorial govern
ment of Ohio by the ordinance OF
1887. On the 4th of July, 1900, the
Indian Territory was organized, and
il was attached TO that territory un-
til April 18th, 1918, when Illinois
became a State. It was then at
tached to the Territory Of WisCon-
sin, July 4, 1896; so that Wisconsin
was governed by the Nlng OF France
ninety-three years the King Of
Great Britain twenty years By the
State of Virginia one year; by the
Territory Of Ohio sixteen years; by
the Indian Territory nine years; by
Illinois Territory nine years, and by
Michigan Territory eighteen years.
She continued a Territory Of the
United States nearly twenty years,
when, on the 18th Of March, 1913,
she became the thirtieth State Of
the American Union.

GENERAL OBJECT OF THE BILL.
The general policy and scheme of
the bill is to resuscitate American
commerce, to re-establish our posi-
ton as one of the foremost maritime
nations of the world, and by this
means to develop to its full extent
the material resources of the nation.
Will not this advance the manufac-
turing interests of the country? 1t
is only necessary for us to have the
opportunity to establish reciprocal
trade with all the nations of the
world in order to show our superb
Ority. Certainly American indus
tries, so far as manufactures are con-
cerned, have reached so high a
degree of perfection that we can
have nothing to fear. An exclusive
policy, like that which the protect
i've system implies, is not applicable
to modern times. No nation now
lives within itself. Science has
served to unite the human race into
one common family. While politi-
cal institutions and language sepa-
rate them into individual commu-
mites, yet in interests, in social ties,
in rapid and constant intercommu-
nication, in interchange Of products,
they have become SOlidifed and
concentrated. The former barriers
which prevented general fraternal
concord have been shattered, If not
altogether broken down. The tele-
graph and the rapidity by which

THERE is TROUBLE IN STORE.

For those who neglect to rectify irregularities Of
the stomach, liver and bowels. which they fool
ishly imagine will come right of themselves. -
OF this silly error such persons are usually dis
abused by the development of some serious
chronic malady, traceable to what they were
pleased to consider a triftng disorder of the
above named associate organs. Such a culmi-
nation is easily avoided. Acourse Of Hostetter's
Stomach Bitters invariably has the effect of re-
newing the s~ecretive action Of a torpid liver, re-
storing healthy digestion and assimilation, and
rendering the habit Of body perfectly regular.
The activity Of these all important functions
being restored, and the emf re system toned and
regulated by this Incompatible corrective and
invigorant, no danger to the general health is to
be apprehended from causes which, If not eradt-
Gated in tine, will assursdly undermine it.
