UNJUST VERDICT.

Many instances are given Of so-called
mining failures; hundreds Of men relate
their limited experience az evidence OF
the almost certain loss which may be an.
ticipated in mining investments. A more
careful inquiry will show that the posi-
tive speaker. who so confidently arraigns
mining and gives verdict which con.
denim it, has some time in his life, prob.
ably, invested q few dollars in the shares
Of a company organized for the specific
purpose Of selling stocks whose value was
based upon the location stakes Of a claim
In some unknown locality. Another per.
son may bemoan his losses in an enter.
prise which assumed 8 more tangible
form, where an attempt was made TO de.
velop 3 property with five hundred dol.
lars, which would l~egitimately, at the
lowest estimate, cost five thousand dol.
lars. If the same person, intending to
enter the mercantile business, had at
tempted to build a store for five hundred
dollars where the plans and character oil
the building would require five thousand
dollars the result you'd not be called los.
or failure, nor would this impracticabls
movement in any way be allowed to af-
feet the character and security Of legiti.
mate business, nor would ID be taken into
the account in the slightest degree in
estimating the measure Of its genera
security; yet public opinion in regard tc
mining is based largely upon operations
OF this character. The injustice Of such
verdict is at once apparent, and 1t is time
that a more discriminating judgment
should be given In this important matter
The substantial character Of this mos,
important industry. the positive certainty
Of its results, when ability and business
methods are the chief factors in It's devel
opment. need to be more frequently
brought before the public for its most
careful consideration.

To show how the discount on silver al.
fects mining operations, says the Mining
and Scientific Press. the record Of q single
mining company for a single year may be
taken. The Granite Mountain Company
Of Montana received from the sales Of
their silver, during the past fiscal year,
94.4S cents per ounce. The difference
between the average price for which they
sold their product and the price az which
the Government sells It to the people has
been 34.S cents per ounce, and IN the g.
lG2, 972 ounces produced and shipped by
this a company, their compulsory con.
tribution to native and foreign monomet.
allists has been 81, 100. 900 for the fiscal
year. The president of the company calls
attention to this very forcibly in his an
nual report. The free coinage Of silver
would give silver producers SO per cent
more than they now receive, and which
now goes 10 swell the Treasury surplus.
The Treasury OF the United States pays
for silver at the market value Of bullion,
say at the rate Of 95 cents for a pure
ounce. at which rate 37l4 grains of pure
silver In a standard dollar costs the Treas.
ury about 731 cents. from which il will
be seen that the Treasury makes. say 26b
cents on every dollar coined. or a profit
Of over So per cent out Of the people.

q Husu make US RICH

The mortgages on farms In Ohio, 1t Is
said, amount to more than seven hundred
million dollars and are gradually incress'
ing, and this, too, in an old, well devel-
oped, rich farming country. This condi-
tion OF affairs has not been brought about
by any natural but by an artificial cause
tho present unequal and oppressive
tariff. Plain Dealer.
There is something very odd about this,
and we can't quite get IL through our
heads why the farmers all over the coun'
try didn't see the Ethiopian in the Re-
publican wood pile.
They are not a stupid set Of people by
any means, but somehow they got things
terribly mixed. More than any other
class they decided against their W In
t~erests, and il their mortgages increase
they will have nobody to blame but them
selves.
They have deliberately voted for an
increase OF taxes and of the running ex
penses of the farm. They apparently
want dear clothing, dear wood, nails
saws, hoes. hammers. Bat, curiously
enough. they have made no arrangement
to sell thoir hay and potatoes ant
squashes In q high priced market.
Perhaps all this is patriotism, and ther
again perhaps it's a bluuder. W. shall
see about that as the months trip gsyl,
by and il becomes necessary TO work har
der than ever to make both ends meet

r,rE VOTE.

The Eastern papers have been figuring
mp the popular vote on President. IL
appears that MI. Cleveland carried the
country by about 100000, in round num-
bers. General Harrison will not be the
first minority President. We have had
several, some Of whom made very good
Presidents. Mr.. Lincoln was way behind
on the total vote Of the people. Under
u system, however, General Harrison
is as legally elected as though he had re-
ceived q sweeping majority OF all the
votes cast. But II Is . pity that the peo-
pie cannot have a direct voice in the De.
lection Of the Chief Magistrate Of the
Nation. In the meantime let rs hope
that the new President viii realize that
the policies advocated by his party are not
Endorsed by 3 majority Of the American
people, and accordingly administer the
Government with prudence and wisdom
and patriotism. This great country does
not belong to any political party. Espe.
cially does it not belong TO the Republi-
can party whan itfalls one hundred thou.
sand behind on the popular vote. You
gentlemen Of that political faith are sim
ply legally on top for four years and that
is the extent Of it. In other words. there
are more Democrats than Republicans in
these United States, even though you
have mounted the box and taken charge
Of the ribbons for the next Presidential
term. But don't drive too fast, nor take
the hundred thousand majority over too
many corduroy roads simply because you
can. II there Is too much Earring and
jolting In the Government wagon the
people will be quite likely TO change dri.

and travel the old macadamized turnpike
which leads up to reform and retrench.

-rIrcrnnAL nKronM.

There is nc dosbt whatever that our
political methods are beginning 10 cause
very considerable public uneasiness and
anxiety.
We are q fair minded, honest people,
who know bow to take a thrashing at the
polls with becoming grace. We can play
the game OF politics with such shrewd-
ness IS nature has bestowed upon Us, and
are not over sqeamish st the tricks,
lodges and strategy which make q cam.
paien exciting. But whether we beat or
are beaten, we like fair play. Victory
leaves 9 bad taste 10 our mouths II we
learn that il wa won by illegitimste
means, and defeat creates Indigestion
when we know II was caused by the su-
perior ability Of the other side 10 pur.
chase votes.
We believe that there is . very earnest
desire throughout this country for honest
elections, and = very strong conviction,
widely prevalent. that politics is getting
more and more 10 be Q matter Of money,
and Q feeling that in 3 Presidential year,
for instance, the win Of the people in
variably gives way 10 the will Of the pol
i~ticians.
The important thing 10 IN election lie
not the policy or issue at stake, but
the size Of the barrel. Leaders do
not hesitate to avow their intention to
carry q cetain section, because they have,
not the brains, but the hard cash TO do 10
with. Votes are bought almost in an
open market and prices vary according
to the emergency.
The great body OF the people have be.
come alarmed because the ballot is q com-
mercial commodity with a money value,
aud they demand some electoral reform
which will minimize this growing and
often open and insolent corruption.
1t is, Of course, an evil which will be
remedied as soon as it Is generally recog.
nized. The people are king, and what.
over laws or reforms they demand will
be promptly granted. Legislators and
Congressman are the obedient servants Of
the public, and are willing to be honest
in order TO retain their places.
And this matter cannot receive atten-
tion too soon. We have already gone
from bad to worse, aud it is only q few
steps from the worse to the worst. Our
present system, which is q wide open
door for all the imps Of bribery to enter,
should be summarily changed or sbol-
ished, and a better system, which will
insure a reasonable degree of fairness,
substituted.
