PILOT KNOBS MINE.
Tho Famous Mountain Of Iron II,s Ceased

Tho Famous Mountain Or Iron I;,g Ceased
to Re Productivr.
The cclc DRAFTED Pilot Knob mines havo
been worked since 1S4G, and during tho
years intervening to tho present time
hayo produced an almost fabulous
amount Of ore. The mines reached
their zenith in 1854, whom they pro-
duccd 200, 900 tons. This output was
continued for about three years, when
it began rapidly falling off, and two
years ago the Vulcan works, whose
capacity is $4,000 tons por month, wero
closed for want OF sufficient ore. Tho
company continued to prospect, how
over. feeling confident that it would
soon strike another paying voin. Tho
prospecting failed to develop a vein,
and as n last resort the company sunk
another shaft 40 feet doep, tho OK
pcnso of which was enormous This
failod also, and the conclusion was
forced upon tho company that tho
mountain OF iron" was exhausted.
Prospecting was continued, however.
but very quietly, until n vein was struck
nearer the surface. This vein was moth
ing like the original voin. however, the
output being only seven cars daily. The
mines were quietly stripped of all the
machinery, and scarcely any of it is to
be found there at this time.
Tho furnaces and FORCES were built in
1910 by tho Pilot Knob Iron Company.
and in 1858 were acquired by Chouteau.
Harrison & Vale. Before tho Iron
Mountain railroad was completed to
this point the output had TO be carried
over the Ozark mountains to Ste Gene
vieve, Mo. 1t finally camo into tho
possession of the St Louis Orc and
Steel Company.
The location of the mino Is historic
ally interesting, as it was one of tho
worst nests OF bush whackcrs developed
by tho war. 1t was ut Pilot Knob that
Ulysses s. Grant received his commits

that the United States headquarters for

To be sure every man knew that be sold
at loss and that in all probability prices
would be higher, but he sold that he
might save his home, that he might prove
that he was honest enough to pay his
interest and meet his obligations, and in
the hope that such legislation would be
enacted as would extend a relieving
hand.
Are people to be blamed that theyseek
to take from the power of any set of men
dictation of prices, dIctation based
solely on the degree of their selfshness
and cupidity? That having adjusted
losses, compromised claims, given up
property and settled to business again
upon another and scarcer standard Of
circulation per capita, to then have
another era of hard times and demorallz-
ing losses, caused by another exertioh
of the money power?
l take it that no compromise OF 81, 0OO,N
600 per month or any other sum should
be made. Four millions per month now
will soon be what two millions per month
now is, viz, an entirely inadequate sup
ply. The volume of business per capita
is constantly increasing. Our population
is also increasing. The demand for
circulating medium will increase in like
proportions. The free, unlimited coin
age of both gold and silver will scarcely
keep pace with the demand. Both are
needed as money; both will approx
mately keep q fixed amount of money
per capita in circulation. Shall we COM
promise upon fixed monthly coinage
and partial legal tender? The persist
emit determination of the money power
to limit the coinage, and legal tender
qualities of the silver coined should Of
itself be sufficient warning against any
compromise, unless the country wish a

business, and further reduction to ten

ability to keep them by honest toll, but
wrested from them by dishonest legisla-
ton. If representatives now in congress
are 80 thoroughly under the money
power that they bow down and worship
the golden calf, forgetful of the power
that sent them to legislative halls, then
retire them and send those who will
work and vote for the many against the
few, for justice against oppression, for
right against wrong, for homes against
tenantry, for the people against an aris-
tocracy who will without doubt form
more perfect Urion, to establish justice,
insure domestic tranquility, provide for
the common defense, promote the gen.

OF liberty to ourselves and our posterity.
For such purposes our constitution was
framed. Is it not time that we return

In Alabama the Alliance decided
to effect the reforms advocated by
working through the old parties, but
they have been knocked out IN the
first round. The contest was on the
Democratic nominee for governor, the
Alliance supporting Kolb, while the
anti-Alliance forces, who had a very
slight majority in the convention,
united upon Thomas Jones, of Mont
gomery, upon the principle of any
thing to beat the Alliance, and in the
platform the Alliance was ignored.
If the Alliance does not put up an
independent ticket the people OF that
state are not made of the stuff we
think they are.-AEiauce Tribune.
Western Kansas world. [volume] (WaKeeney, Kan.) 1885-current, 1890-06-14

The Alliance recommended and
adopted at st. Louis certain lines of
political action.
First. Free coinage Of silver.
Second Sub-treasury plan.
Third. Government ownership of
railroad and telegraph lines.
The Alliance, therefore, has def
mite policy. Its avowed objects are
to aid the farmer.
The county and sub-alliances rsti-
fed these demands. Then they are
committed to these demands, to this
policy, to this line OF political action.
So far as I am concerned I went
into the st. Louis convention in good
faith. I advocated the measures be-
fore and since the convention and I
shall continue so to do 50 long as
these adopted lines of political action
remain our principles.
We came to the front and demand
ed free silver coinage. The repre-
sentative Democrats, notably, Mr..
Cleveland, opposed our measure.
The Republican party stood against
us almost solidly. They had demon
cited silver. The Alliance forced
the fight. Over so per cent. of the
Democratic papers now are favorable
to and are working for free coinage.
A great many Republican papers
now favor it. We have friends in
congress in both parties.
The basic principles of the sub
treasury are:
First. Flexibillty of volume.
Second Increased volume Of cur
rency.
Third Lower rates of interest.
Bankers, moneyed men and specu-
lators oppose this bill just on account
of these principles. The wealthy
men of both parties as a rule oppose
Us. Wealthy men are those gener-
ally elected to congress. So long as
we do not select men who desire the
country's good, but select men whose
life has been devoted to money get
ting, just so long Will this same state
of things continue. Again our polit-
cal line leads us to the ownership of
railroads and telegraphs. Rail
road commissions will aid Us 10
cally, but not until we have railroads
operated as are the mails will perma-
nent relief come to us.-Progressive
Farmer.

AN ECONOMICAL MAN.
By S. W. Foss

He lived on thirteen cents day
Ten cents for milk and cracker,
One cent for dissipation gay,
And two cents for tobacco.
And if he wished an extra dish
He'd take his pole and catch a far.
And if his stomach raised war
'Gainst his penurious habit,
He'd go and kill woodchuck, or
Assassinate a rabbit;
And thus he'd live in sweet content
On food that never cost q cent.
And, that he might lay up in bank
The proceeds of lis labor
He'd happen round at meals, the crank
And dine upon his neighbori
And then he'd eat enough to last
Until another day had passed.
He bought nor pantaloons nor vest,
Nor rich, expensive jacket;
He had one sUit-his pas bequest-
He thought would stand the racket"
He patched it thirty years, tbs true,
And then declared twas good as new.
He owned but one suit to his back:
And minus cuffs and collars
He died, and left his nephew Jack
Nine hundred thousand dollarsl
And Jack he run this fortune through
And only took e year or two.
