SILVER MINING.

The Denver Republican says there are
some stubborn lessons taught by figures,
with which there is no chance for a sue
cessful contest. One Of them can be found
in the summary Of the dividends paid by
mining companies during the past year.
The thirty-eight companies whose stocks
are quoted, or for which we have been
able to get a quotation, have a present
market value Of $50, 0OO, 900, and have
paid in dividends during the year &c.
2I7,07S, equal to ten and one-third per
cent, on the market value, a much better
result than in most classes of investment.
These same thirty.eight companies have
already paid in dividends no less than
$50, 900, 900, or almost exactly the amount
of their present market value. The &C.
tual or original investment was but a
small part, probably not one.ffth of their
present value, SO that had a fortunate
holder invested originally in developing
these mines and held his interest to the
present time, he would have received
back his original investment many times
over and could now sell out for four or
five times the amount he put in.
The mines quoted are by no means the
only dividend.paying mines in this coun-
try; indeed, it is well known that a very
large number of private companies, or
mines owned by individuals. have paid
far larger returns on the investment than
has the average stock company.
The great Granite Mountain heads the
list of dividends with 81, 900, 900 for the
year, or just twice what the Calumet and
Hecla has paid, though this is perhaps
the more valuable mine Of the two. Each
has many millions yet in store for its
stockholders.

LAMBS,

appeared before the Committee on APP

before the committee in favor of placing

the purpose. 1t would prevent the pros

prevent clandestine settlements Of fraud.

from irresponsible agents being bought
off by powerful corporations and rich
land monopolies, while the poor settlers
would be unable to defend themselves

appropriated for prosecutions for cutting
timber should be used to prosecute min.
ers who had cut scrub pine and sagebrush

Thurman that journal says: 1.-THE De-

him; his clear judgment is never swerved

u,uu rAxss AND Low TAXES.

HIGH TAKE IND Low
The New York Herald says President
Cleveland has one faculty which he prob
ably inherited from his reverend father
he can stick to his text.
To his letter to the Tammany Society
recently, he shows a desire to have the
campaign fought on the one live issue
which is before us-nsmely, the reduc-
ton Of the tariff in the interest Of the
whole people. He does not fly of in a
tangent, remorselessly ~ridiculing or re.
lentlessly belaboring his political oppo-
nents, but hangs on to the handle Of his
subsoil plough when the share point
strikes q root.
He got at the meat in the ~cocoanut
when he said:-
Our government belongs TO the people.
They have decreed its purposes, and il is
their clear right to demand that its cost
shall be limited by frugality, and that
its burden Of expense shall be carefully
limited by its actual needs.
His opposition to the Republican pol
icy Of continued high taxes-which has
already proven itself a patent incubator
Of monopolies, trusts and combines-is
forcibly stated as follows:-
They advocate a system which benefits
certain classes of citizens at the expense
Of every householder in the land-a sys-
tenn which breeds discomfort, because it
permits the duplication of wealth with.
out corresponding additional recompense
to labor, which prevents the opportunity
to work by sitting production and limit.
ing the area Of our markets, and which
enhances the cost Of living beyond the
laborer's hard earned wages.
Now let us clean out all the rubbish
personalities, intolerable yarns about
what this or that man said twenty years
ago, chickering's, snarlings and the %riffraff
Of peanut politics generally, and settle
down to a clean handed discussion Of the
question whether high taxes or low taxes
will make us a happier and more pros.
porous people, and give us q sitter com.
mercial backbone.
